It might be well to review a tew of the points of President Harrison's last an nual message to congress, just after the election of 1892, which elevated Cleve land to the chair. Viewed from the standpoint of facts as at present exist, his ability as a seer is not inferior to that of a president and statesman. We quote: 'There never has been a time in our history when work was so abundant or when wages were as high, whether measured by the currency in which they are paid or by their power to supply the necessaries and comforts of life. "If any are discontented with their ..' state here ; . if any believe that wages or prices, the returns for honest toil, are inadequate, they should not fail to re member that there is no other country in the world where the conditions that seem to them hard would not be accept ed as highly prosperous. The English agriculturist would be glad to exchange the returns of bis labor for those of the American farmer, and the Manchester workmen their wages for those of their fellows at Fall River. "It is not my purpose to renew here the argument in favor of a protective tariff. The result of the recent election must be accepted as having introduced a new policy. We must assume that the present tariff, constructed upon the lines of protection, is to be repealed and that there is to be substituted for it a tariff law constructed solely with refer' ence to revenue ; that no. duty is to be higher because the increase will keep open an American mill or keep up the wages of an American workman, bnt that in every case such a rate of duty is to be imposed as will bring to the treas nry of the United States the largest re turns of revenue. The contention has not been between schedules, but be tween principles, and it would be offen eive to suggest that the prevailing party . will not carry into legislation the princi pies advocated by it and the pledges given to the people. : The tariff bills passed by the house of " representatives at the last session were, as I suppose even in the opinion of their promoters inadequate, and justified only by the fact that the senate and bouse of repre sentatives were not in accord and that a general revision could not, therefore, be undertaken. "I recommend that the whole subject of tariff revision be left to the incoming c ingress. It is a matter of regret that this work must be delayed for at least three months ; for the threat Of great tariff changes introduces so much uncer" tainty that an amount, not easily esti mated, of business inaction and of di minished production will necessarily re sult. It is possible also that this uncertainty may result in decreased revenues from customs duties, for our merchants will make cautious orders for foreign goods in view of the prospect of tariff reductions and the uncertainty as to when they, will take effect. Those who have advocated a protective tariff can well afford to have their disastrous forecasts of a change of policy 'disap pointed. If a system of customs duties can be .framed that will set the idle wheels and looms of Europe in motion and crowd our warehouses with foreign made goods, and at the eame time keep our own mills busy; that Will give us an increased participation in the "markets of the world" of greater value than the home market we 'surrender; that will give increased work to foreign workmen upon products to be consumed by our people without diminishing the amount of work to be done here; that will en able the American manufacturer to pay to his workmen from fifty to a hundred per cent, more in wages than is paid in the foreign mill and yet' to compete in our market and in foreign markets with the foreign producer ; that will further reduce the cost of articles of wear and food without reducing the wages of those who produce them ; that can be celebrated, after its effects have been realized, as its expectation has been, in European as well as in American cities, the authors and promoters of it will be entitled to the highest praise. . We have had in our history several experiences of the contrasted effects of a revenue, and of a protected tariff; but this gen eration has not felt them, and the ex perience of one generation is not highly instructive to the next-. The friends of the protective system, with undimin ished confidence in the principles they have advocated, will await the results of the new experiment. "The strained and too often disturbed relations existing .bet ween the employees and the employers in oar great manu facturing establishments have not been favorable to a calm consideration by the wage-earner of the effect upon wages of the protective system. The facts that his wages were the highest paid in like callings in the world and that a mainte nance of this rate of wages, in the ab sence of protective duties upon the pro duct of his labor, was impossible, were bfcured by the passion evoked by the?e contests. He may now be able! to re view the question in the light' of 'his personal experience under the operation of a tariff for revunue onlv. If that ex perience shall demonstrate that present rates of wages are thereby maintained or increased, either absolutely or in their purchasing power, and that the aggre gate volume of work to be done in this country is increased, or even maintained, so that there are more or as many days' work in a year at as good or better wages i for the American workman as has been 1 the case under the protective system, Blackwood's Magazine. The bullet everyone will rejoice. A general process which, when fired from a musket, car of wage reduction cannot be contemplal- ries death, will be harmless if ground ed by any patriotic citizen without the ! dust before beingfired. The crystal- OT-ftVfint ftrmrehensinn. Tt mav h in- may deed I believe is, possible for the Amer ican manufacturer to compete success fully with his foreign rival in many branches of production without the de fense of prodnctive duties, if the pay rolls are equalized ; but the conflict that , . . , , . , . stands between the producer and that result and the distress of our working people when it is obtained are not pleas- ant to contemplate.

AL'HTKMjIAN KABMTS. Pests - Beinfif Turned to sount In "Various Ways. ; Ac- Hugo Scheme to Exterminate the Troublesome Rodents in New South Wales Their Uss in Sat Slatktag. "Thre are ten companies in Australia and four in New Zealand engaged in the raobit-skin business, says an Aus tralian to a San Francisco Chronicle re porter. Of these one-half added the meat canning' to their business. -Yon will understand, therefore, that there is a big' monopoly, which is not at all anxious to see the rabbits exterminated. Interested with it is a very large num ber of the population, who find rabbit killing more remunerative and less hard work than farming-. "Pasteur endeavored to exterminate the rabbits by inoculation with chicken cholera. ' It is well kndvra to those be hind the scenes that lie did not get a fair trial, and, in fact, was so hindered and hampered that he withdrew his agents from further experiment. .' "The question ha3 comcrup before the government again, and a bill is now be fore the Sydney legislature asking for a vote to build a brick wall entirely around the agricultural boundary of the colony of New South Wales. Rabbits will r.ot burrow lower than two and one-half feet, and it is proposed to sink the wall to that limit of depth. The other colonies will watch the experi ment with great interest, and if it suc ceeds will probably all follow suit. Sacb. a course would confine the rabbits to the great Australian bush, in whose sandy deserts they would soon die out. "What use is made of all these rabbit skins'? - Why, the hat on your head is made of them. The hair is plucked off the pelt by hand. A fortune awaits the man who can invent a machine to do it. A fine blue fur is then left on the pelt. The skin is then pared away from the fur by' delicate machinery machinery so . fine that when the last paring' is cut off the fur sometimes hangs in one filmy section. This is worked up into felt. Ordinary hats are made from rabbit skin. A better class is made from hare's skin. The best arc made from the nutria, a kind of water rat trapped in Buenos Ayrcs, and then come beaver and musquash, obtained in the United States and Canada. The cowboy wants the best hat in the world, and as he pays for it he gets it. The nutria felt stands wet and remains stiff-brimmed after soaking, because it is made from the fur of a water ani mal. The American jack rabbit is no use at all to the trade. The English rabbit supplies the best furlike silk, but of course not water proof. Then comes the New Zealand rabbit, fol lowed by the Australian. "We used to export hats in quantity from England to America, but now the Americans can dress skins as well as the English, and they make' all their own hats, importing- their fur from us, of course. I do not under stand why the United States does not import rabbit skins direct from Aus . tralia, seeing- the enormous quantity which it buys from England. At a rough guess I should calculate the United States manufactures sixty-five thousand hats every day,, while Eng land manufactures about forty thou sand. .The largest hat manufactory in the world is the Brussels,, which turns out ten thousand hats a clay. "Why am I interested in the exter mination of rabbits in .Australia? Well; I am interested in one of the chief fur companies in London, and we tvantto see our English rabbit protect ed against the marvelously multiplying Australian competitors." PARODOXES OF SCIENCE.
