age worthy of the country and otl

Did you ever hold a watch and
see for ho>v many seconds you
could keep a stream of air flowing
into your lungs? If not, make the
test, and you will find that no mat
ter how small the stream, you can
not keep it constantly flowing in
for more than fifteen, twenty or
possibly thirty seconds ;but if you
will try two or three times each
day,you can double the time with
in ’wo weeks. The boy or girl who
will try this and keep it up regu-
tor a year, will not be likely
to die of consumption, and should
they ever become public speakers
or singers they will be very thank
ful that they commenced when
young to take the “lung ba'b .”
The belief that unsound teeth be

A telegram from Havana reports
the shipment from that port ot tin
last sugar bought by the Ameri
can Sugar Trust,amounting to thir
ty thousand tons. This sugar ought
to be iu American ports within a
week or ten days, andjthen Mr
Gorman and his allies ought to be
willing to let the tariff bill ‘pass.
On this last remnant of thirty
thousand tons hurried into the
country in order to avoid the im
port tariff duty, the trust will save
something like s7so.ooo—that it
to say, it will escape the payment
of dutieu of something like that
amount which they would have
had to pay had the sugar arrived
after the new law went into effect.
It is bits of news like this that
indicates the largeness of the stake
of the protected industries in the
game of politics. The men ntei
ested in them are not merely citi
zens. They are not on the same
footing as regards the laws as oth
er citizens. The taxes which bur
den others are to them a blessing
What impoverishes others enriches
them.
The consequence is that the peo
ple, as represented in congress, can
never do a favor to one of these in
dustries by giving it an advantag
in the laws withont creating a pow
erful enemy s williug to spend mon
ey to bring to bear every possible
influence to deprive them of their
right to govern themselves,of tneir
right to tax themselves much or
little as they please. The hel dess
creatuie at the beginning. begging
for alms, is| in the end a master
fighting for the’perpetuariou of th
special privileges that were origi
nally the outcome of the charita
ble disposition of a generous peo
ple.
The sugar trust bad a rigat to
hurry into the country ail the su
gar possible*, in anticipation of
the imposition of a duty upon it -
Nobody will dispute that right.
But a great many people will
think the conduct of senators who
have kept the gates open for the
trust during many mouths, in or
der that it might escape contribu
tions to the revenue while getting
the benefit of the new taxes, any
thing but right.—Macon Tele
graph.
