SA.1URDAY, DECEMBER 16, 189S.

FIRST CAST THE MOTE FROM THISE OWN JiYE. Stnt« whether the American manufacturers sell ftiij- (roods manufactured in the Lr. S. and protected by the present McKlnley law -cheaper In Canada, or any other foreign •ountry. than to American consumers.

Ans. Yes it has boon done. We suppose it i« still done.—/miiaii'ipeli." .Ycirs. From what the News nod other papers have said editorially on this same subject, we presume the answer to this trnth seeker is intended to be a stab at the protective tariff. The propounder of the question no doubt thinks he has learned something wonderful and no doubt the News feels like a load of information has been lifted from its shoulders by answering the question. While we doubt the correctness of the answer to any alarming extent, we fail to see, even if there were no doubt,whose business it is what sort of bargains buyers and sellers make between themselves. The fact th«t the Neu\i is shipped to this city and delivered by the newsboy to its readers for exactly the same price it sells for at home is an indication that it might sell for less than 10 cents per week in Indianapolis. Indirectly the

News sells for less in Crawfordsville than it does in Indiannpolis. If the tariff on manufactured goods enables the makers to do what the News claims, what is it that enables the News to sell for lees in Crawfordsville than it does in Indianapolis? If the paper can be sold for 10 cents per week here, cannot it be sold for less at home? One of two things is true,— there is no expense of getting the Neics delivered to its readers here, or eise the News is guilty of the same thing the manufacturers are accused of doing.

WHEBE IS THE MYSTERY! Why Is it that our protected mansfacturtra will spend time and money to secure and maintain a tariff whieh increases their ex pcns« by raising wages and which lessens their income by lowering prices? Frankly, we owill have to give up any attempt to solve the mystery.—Inilianapolu Xein.

Why such a thing should be a mystery to our genial contemporary is a mystery to us. Such transactions are as old as business. The commercial history of the United States for the last thirty years removes any mystery to this matter, for larger markets have always been striven for at great expense. And when thev are gained, more money is made by the manufacturers. When more money is made they oan pay larger wages and at the same time sell their commodities for Jess. Why should there be any mystery about this, when it has been done in almost every kind of business in the last thirty years? The matter of low prices and large wages is governed solely by the large market enjoyed by the manufacturer. The

News certainly knowB that if a state of affairs wonld arise that would enable it to sell fifty papers where it now sells one, that it could sell papers less in price and pay larger wages and still make more money than it is now making.

There

should be no more mystery

in the proposition stated by the News than in this last proposition in regard to the Bale of papers. A prohibitory tariff tends to and does enlarge the market of oar manufacturers. With large sales and a smaller profit on each article, factories can run more days in the year and pay larger wages. We doubt very much that there is another paper in Indiana that will seriously contend that such a thing is shrouded in "mystery."

HARD TIKES AT BRAZIL.

In response to a oall issued by Mayor McCnllough of Brazil, a number of prominent citizens met at the Mayor's office Friday night to make provisions for helping the poor of that city. It is estimated that over two hundred fam ilies of that city are in need of the necessaries of life. A committee has been detailed to determine the exact number of sufferers and provide some means for their support. Notwithstanding hard times created by the memorable miners' Btrike a few years ago, this is the Bret time in the history of Brazil that the

Mayor has been foroed to call for aid. The chief industries of Brazil are coal and iron ore, and yet Representative Brookshire proposes to slap both the operators and operatives in the face by voting for the Wilson bill whioh placeB the Be products on the free list, the tendency of which will be to increase the number of idle workingmen in that part of this distriot. We miss our gness if these idle workingmen will not be hep.rd from in the next election.

Senator Mokhill, the venerable s'.atesman from Vermont, delivered Bpeech in the Senete the other day, and speaking of free raw material made this striking comparison: "Free trade will offer free raw materials without power to use them, which is no more than to giTe a man ruffles who wants a shirt.'

late of the Army Medical

CHAPTER

MH. SHERLOCK HOJ.MK3.

the year 1S7S 1 took my degree of doctor of medicine of the university of London, and tied to Netloy to go through the course prescribed for surgeons in the army. Having completed my studies there I

was duly attached to the Fifth Northumberland fusiliers as assistant surgeon. The regiment was stationed in India at the time, and before 1 could join it the second Afghan war had broken out. On landing' at Bombay I learned that my corps hai^ advanced through the passes and was already deep in the enemy's country. I followed, however, with many other officers who were in the same situation as myself, and succeeded ill reaching C-andahar in snfety, where I found my regiment, and at once entered upon my new duties.

The campaign brought honors and promotion to many, but for me it had nothing but misfortune and disaster. 1 was removed from my brigade and attached to the Berkshires, with whom I served at the fatal battle of Maiwand. There I was struck on the shoulder by a .1 er.ail bullet, which shattered the bone and grazed the subclavian artery. I should have fallen into the hands of the murderous (ihazis had it not been for the 4-Totion and courage shown bj- Murray, my orderly, who threw me across a pack-horse and succeeded in bringing me safely to the British lines.

Worn with pain, and weak from the prolonged hardships which I had undergone, I was removed, with a great train of wounded sufferers, to the base hospital at Peshawur. Here I rallied, and had already improved so far as to be able to walk about the wards, and even to bask a little upon the veranda, when 1 war, struck down by enteric fever, that curse of our Indian possessions. For months my life was de-

spaired of. and when at last I came to myself and became convalescent I was so weak and emaciated that a medical board determined that not a day should be lost in sending me back to England. I was dispatched, accordingly, in the troop-sliip Oront.es. and landed a month later on Portsmouth jetty, with my health irretrievably ruined, but with permission from a paternal government to spend the next nine months in attempting to improve it.

I had neither kith nor kiu in England. and was therefore as free as air —or as free as an incomo of eleven shillings and sixpence a day will permit a man to be. Under such circumstances I naturally gravitated to London, that great cesspool into which all the loungers and Idlers of the empire are irresistibly drained. There I stayed for some time at a private hotel in the Strand, leading a comfortless, meaningless existence, and spending such money as I had considerably more freely than I ought. So alarming did the state of my finances become that I soon realized that I must either leave the metropolis and rusticate somewhere in the country, or that must make a complete alteration in my stylo of living. Choosing the latter alternative, I began by making up my mind to leave the hotel, and to take up my quarters in some less pretentious and less expensive domicile.

On the very day that I had coine to this conclusion, I was standing at the Criterion bar, when some one tapped me on the shoulder, and turning round 1 recognized young Stamford, who had been a dresser under me at Bart's. The sight of a friendly face in the great wilderness of London is a pleasant thing indeed to a lonely man. In old days Stamford had never been a particular cr^ny of mino, but now I hailed him with enthusiasm, and he, in turn, appeared to be delighted to see me. In the exuberance of my joy I asked him to lunch with me at the Holborn, and we started off togetlicrin a hansom. "•Whatever have you been doing with yourself, Watson?" he asked, in undisguisod wonder, as we rattled through the crowded London streats. "You are as thin as a lath and as brown as a nut."

I gave him a short skctch of my ad ventures, and had hardly eoncludcd it by the time that we reached our destination. "Poor devil!" he said, commiserating ly, after he had listened to my misfortunes. "What are you up to now?" "Looking for lodgings," I answered. "Trying to solve the problem as to whether it is possible to get comfortable rooms at a reasonable price." "That's a strange thing." remarked my companion "you arc the second man to-day that has used that expression to me." "And who was the first?" I asked. "A fellow who is working at the chemical laboratory up at the hospital He was bemoaning himself this morning because he could not get some one to go halves with him in some nice rooms which he had found, and which were too much for his purse." "By Jove!" I Cried "if be really wants some one to share the rooms and the expense, I am tho very man for him.

I should prefer having a partner to being alone." Young Stanford looked rather strangely at me over his wineglass.

"Toll ilon't Vr.ow Shorlocl! ITolmos yet," he snid: "perhaps yon would not care for him us a constant companion." hy, whr.t is there against him?" "Oh, 1 didn't sav t'u-re was anything against him. He is a little queer in his ideas—an enthusiast in some branches of science. As far as I know, he is a decent fellow enough." "A medical student, I suppose?" said I. "Xo—I have no idea what he intends to go in for. 1 believe he is well up In anatomy, and he is a first-class chemist but, as far as 1 know, he lias never taken out any systematic medical classes, His studies are very desultory aud eccentric, but he has amassed a lot of out-of-the-way knowledge which would astonish his professors." "Did you never ask him what he was going in for?" I aski'd. "Xo he is not man that it Is easy to draw out, though he can be communicative enough when the fancy seizes him." "I should like to meet iiiin," 1 said. "If I am to lodge with anyone, 1 should prefer a man with studious and quiet habits. 1 am net strong enough yet to stand much noise or excitement. I I had enough of both in Afghanistan to last me for the remainder of my natural existence. How could I meet this friend of yours?" (To Be Continued.)

A.YOUNG GIRL'S FORTUNE.

AN INTERESTING SKETCH, Nothing appeals so strongly to ft mother's affection as her daughter just budding Into womanhood. Following is an instance "Our daughter, Blanch*, now 15 years of age. had been terribly afflicted with nervousness, and had lost tho entire use of her right arm. She was in such a condition that we had to keep her from school and abandon her music leaeons. In fact, we feared St. Vitus dance, and are positive bat for au invaluable remedy she would have hod that terrible affliction. We had employed physicians, but she received no benefit from them. The first of last August she weighed but 75 pounds, and although she has taken only three bottles of Nervine she now weighs 106 pounds: her nervousness and symptoms of St. Vitus aauco arc entirely gone, she attends school regularly, and studies with comfort and ease. She has recovered complete use of her arm, her appetite is splendid, and no money could procure for our daughter the health Dr. Miles' Nervine has brought her.

When my brother recommended the remedy I had no faith in patent medicines, and would not listen to him, but as a last resort he sent us a bottle, we began giving it to Blanche, and the effect was almost immediate."—Mrs. it. R, Bullock, Brighton, N. Y.
