t'ACTS ABOUT Tit I MOON.
Prof C A Young, of Chicago, gave an
Interesting lecture on the moon In the as
tronomical course which U being conduct
ed under the auspice ot the unlvertltjr ex.
tension of Cooper union.
The moon, In the firtt place, ha noth
ing whatever to do, the lecturersslJ, with
the changes In our weather, lie had
known tome faimer in the west who
would never plant a "root crop" except
on the wane of the moen, while grow
up crop, like wheat or grain, he would al
wajri Insist on planting when the moon
wa waxing. These notions, as well as
those held by sonr sea captalr.s, that the
wind would blow for a week from the
quarter In which the change ot the moon
took place, were, he declared, without the
slightest foundation.
The moon was an Insignificant bod In
herself. It was her proxlmltjr to the earth
that gave her astronomical importance.
At the same time her position was unique
among satellites. She was by far the
largest in proportion to her planet ot
twenty or more satellites In the solar sys
tem, bslng one-elghlteth the weight ot the
earth, while no other satellite exceeded one
ne-thousanth ot the weight ot lis planet
In the peculiar motions take by tlve moon
there were certain elements which, the
professot sald,the law of gravitation might
not full y account tor. Astronomy would
one day reach the limit bt accurate pro
vision and would reach the fluid where
uch elements ot uncertainty would creep
In as the effect ot the human will. Speak
ing with exactitude, tor Instance, a man
could not build a tall bullying on the sur
face ot the earth without lengthening the
day byathe change in the position ot matter
Involved. Such changes as this when ac
cumulated through long periods mast pro
duce effects that would make the astro
nomical problem a very difficult one In
tact, an Incomputable one some day.
The heat that the moon sends had been
measured, he sal J, and found to be l-i6,
ooo of that sent by the sun light. The
earth shine," It we coul J observe It from
the surface of the moon, was fourteen
times as brilliant as that we now saw from
the moon, and from a surface that was
about four times as large as the full moon
exposed to us. This brilliant light was
reflected back from the moon to us slight
ly, rendering just vUlb'e that part ot the
moon In the shadow at the tlrre of the new
moon.
The moon, said the frofessor, had no
atmosphere to speak of. Ice surface as
shown by the slides was a mass of circular
volcanic craters of peculiar formation, but
rent by mysterious fissures which started
from the crater of Tjrcho In alt directions
like the streaks on the skin of an apple.
These fissures were about half a wile In
width and extended Into the body of the
moon nobody knows how far. They cut
through craters and mountain chains in
straight lines and their explanation was not
yet. Some had attributed them to the
congelation tf the central mass like water
frozen in a glass globe. DIts of the moun
tain scenery of the moon were thrown on
the curtain and seemed very unattractive,
though evidently grand In their very
ugliness.

Tbc reciprocity clause of the McKinley hill
can be credited with annther achievement. Ia
return lor the free admission into this conntr)
HBlef the provisions of that bill, of sugar.
coffee and cocoa, the Spa nth government
opens the extensive maikcts of Cuba and
I'm to Kico to the free introduction of Ameri
can coal, petroleum, machinery, and fa:, aad
reduces tlie present exorbitant duty on floor
by one-half. This is the kind of legislation
tbst tke farmers, the working masses, aad the
business aocn of the United States would like
to see tried. Kveo those who have opposed it
will swait with interest its outcome. If it
should be a lailure it will be easy to repeal the
lriaIalion; if it be a success it ean be ex
tended. Let as set aside partisan feeling and
see what the financial result of the McKinley
bill will be.
Tt above is from Frank Leslie's Weekly
edited by Russell B Ilsrrison, son of the presi
dent. Like his father, the son manifests
alibost !otil ignorance of the provisions of the
McK inky bill, or otherwise s deliberate
purpose to deceive the public. Russell, ia the
above, sau that coffee U low admitted to this
country free under the MiKioley bill. Biif
the fact is, it bas been admitted free fur
about twenty years. It says cocoa is admitted
free ander that bill, when in fact it' levies a
duly of two rents a pound upon it. Rdsieli
boasts thst under this reciprocity scheme cost
frani America is to be admitted free to the
markets of Cuba and Porto Rico, and . says
that this Is the kind of legislation that
the farmers, woikfng mssses and the business
men ot the United Sta'cs would like to see
tried." This would doubtless mike coal cheap
to the people of tlies folanjs, but it would
not make it cheap to tlie'Tartners, working
masses and business men of the United States"
la fact It would make it dearer to our own
people, for while this would secure free coal to
these Spaniards, the duty on all coal imported
into the United States remains on it as a lax
, to be paid oy American consumers. This
scheme of opening up a new and extensive
market for American coal would increase the
demand but not the supply hence, coal would
go u;i io th aivantage of the coil birons of
the United States bu. at the expense of the
tnas.es of thejeople.
Col Benjamin Terrell, of Texas, a prom
inent alliance lecturer.who Is now looking
after the interestsof that organization in
South Dakota Is openly opposed to the
alliance entering Into politics. He say
that its proper object Is to educate, not to
eatablluli a party. At the same time he
declares that a third party will be organ
led if Cleveland i nominated by the
democrats and either Harrison or Blaine
by t'ie republicans. He Is stror.gly op
posed to Mr Cleveland, and advises the
democratic party to rlJ Itself of hlin.
Nevertheless, he thinks that Mr Cleveland
has made himself too solid with Wall
street by hi silver atti'ude to fall of nomi
nation next year.
It has not yet transpired who paid the ex
jienses of PresiJent IUrri-wi's recent trans
continental picnic. They are es'imste'l at
soiaelliii g like $40,000. George M Pullman
denies that he fuo'ed the bills or any part of
them. It is' very certain lost PresiJent Har
rison did not defray tLc expenses. The ques
tion It, "who paid the freigh?" Was it Stan
ford anJ his I'jcific Railroad Company, which
owes the government so many millions? Or ws
it the Pennsylvaria Company? It strikes us
that this is a matter upon which the const! y
should tie enlightened.
Democrats have been accused occasionally
by republicans of saying hard things of Blaine
and ilsrrison but th hardest and most cutting
thing ever said about these two republican
eailers was said the other dsy by M S Qusy,

KiRtLIMJ THE FAKUFlt.
It is one ot the pretensions ot the Mc
Kinley act that it was passed In aid ot the
tanner. It probably occured to the lucid
minds that have been enriching the man
ufacturer at the expense ot the ngrtcul'.ur
1st that the latter had not vet been fooled
to the top ot his bent. They thought that
they might convince tho man who ex
ported 14,000,000 bushel of corn In a
single month and burned other bushels-be-cause
he could not buy coal that he needed
protection against a flood ot 130 bushels
of foreign corn.
Therefore the duty on breadstuffa was
raised by the McKinley act and the farmer
was not only promised a home market
but told that he would not be obliged any
longer to compete with foreign products,
while his export trade wsuld continue to
flourish,
What was the result during the five
months from the 1st of November to the
tst ot April?
The duty on barley was raised aoo per
cent. The Importations tell oft from 7,
905,560 U 706,041 bushel. Thus far the
promise was fullfll!ed. But the farmer's
exps.rU also fell off from 587,800 bushels
to So,796, while the average price ot the
Imported article advanced from about 46
to 56 cents. In other words, the barley
grower ha no larger home market, tor
the falllng.ofl ot Importations v. as due to
decreased consumption owing to Increased
price. The only man who suffer from
the condition ot the barley market Is the
consumer, and the McKinley act has had
very Utile to dolth it.
Last March a fiood.ot twenty-three bush.
els ot foreign corn Inundated the markets
ot the United States. The year before the
flood wa a freshet 1 18 bushels. In the
same mon'.h, 1891, a stream of 3,787,561
bushel ot American corn went abroad;
the year before a brooklet ot 13,877,589
bushel went out of the country. The
McKinley act. In order to protect the ex
porter ot million against the competition
ot tens, raised the duty on corn 50 per
cent. The result apparently was to shut
out five month thirty seven bushel of
corn, or seven and two-dfth bushels per
month, which Is McKinley' contribution
to the prosperity ot the corn-grower.
It should be explatned that for the five
months of this year from November to
April the corn Imports were 9S1 bushels,
and tcrthe same mentb of last year 1,018.
At the same time export fell from 47,019,
215 bushel to 3,467,567, while the Ameri
can farmer who wanted corn from hi
neighbor over the bordsr wa forced to
pay 83 cent a bushel Instead of 55.
With wheat the case I different. The
McKinley act helped the wheat-grower
by an Increased rate of duty equal to aS
per cent. Nevertheless, the protection
theory to the contrary notwithstanding,
the wicked -foreign wheat refused to stay
at home. The flood increased so that in
the five month mentioned the American
farmer had to succumb to an Importation
of 391,633 bushel Instead of 39.858, while
he exported only at. 471,521 Instead of 23,
766,887 bushels.
Doe the American farmer need more
evidence that the tariff law ha nothing to
do with Itim beyond deceiving and im
poverishing hlin? Doe he slill think that
the tariff ha made a home market for
him when he send abroad In a single
month, a ln did last March, 5,000,000
bushel of wheat and 3,787,000 of corn?
Doe he continue to believe that increasing
the duty on foreign agricultural products
will make his own sales larger, when after
su-h Increase 'he Importation of corn
have fatten off 37 bushet In five months,
while during the same period the Importa
tions of wheat hive Increased 362,000
bushels . ,

The fact remains that the last CJngress
perpetrated a prodigality of expenditure to
which nothing in our history can be com

done this, eating up the surplus and at the

There is considerable Indignation ex
pressed Jfay democrat here over a publi
cation In a New Vork paper Intimating
that the National Assocla'lon ot democratic
clubs was using It machinery to boom
Senator Gorman fur the presidential
nomination. The principal aim of this
magnlfklent organisation, which I bound
to play a very Important part In the next
campaign', hat been, from It organisation
to work for the cause of democracy, but
under no circumstance to take any part
In the making or unmaking' of presiden
tial candidate. It was because ot this aim
that when the association appointed lis
corresponding agents, one or more of
which It ha In every county In the United
State, It decided not to select the men,
but to request the democratic state com
mittee to make the (election. Now it re
quire no aigument to convince anyone
that It this association proposed using Its

have made ll own (election of ccrres
