Strikes are always expensive disturbances and for that reason they are deplorable, but those Democratic editors who are engaged in computing the cost of the stock yards sirike in Chicago and the cotton mills sti-ike in Fall riveh and setting the amount over against Republican prosperity are inviting comparisons that all the strikes for higher wages in the last generation could not equal. Mr. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, estimated that 3,000,000 men were out of employment during the low-tariff period from 1S03 to 1897. In addition to this great lock-out of labor by the Democratic party, the wages of those who were allowed to work were continually forced down and their time reduced, so that a great proportion of them were permitted to work only half time and receive half wagesWhat does this enforced idleness rep resent in dollars? At $2 per day it meant a loss of $1,800,000,000 a year in wages, or $9,000,000,000 in five years. That is more than all the gold and silver in the world. It meant a loss of $3,000 each, to $3,000,000 families, and $3,000 will buy a home or a large amount of food, clothing, and the comforts of life. The earnings lost during the low-tariff period can not be fully estimated, for $2 a day represents onl ythe earnsings of unskilled labor, while it was the high priced, skilled labor that suffered most during that -period. But beyond this computation in the currency of the country is the loss of the comforts of life, the education of children, the actual suffering of the people which eanuever be set down in the ledger of p runt and loss. The story of the last seven years, even with the strikes of today, is a very different one. There is employment for all today. Employers and employes may disagree over the division of profits, and there may be losses resultant from these disagreements which run up into the millions, but there has been no appeal to the general public to allay the suffering of the workingmen. They are meeting their losses in wages from their well-filled labor union treasuries, and say they have funds to. continue the fight. And against this the people with good "memories will place the soup houses of ten years ago, the Coxey army marching across the country, as a fearful example of the depression to labor brought by the low-tariff of the Democratic congress. A protective tariff may produce strikes, but a Democratic tariff has always produced lock-outs, and always will. The one produces work and wages, ..the other produces stagnation of industries at home, and brings to our shores the products of cheap labor in other countries. Free trade exchanges skilled mechanics forcheap products. Protection secures the arts and protects the artisans. , iT" . .tar!U

Humor has it that Mr. Taggart has invited ex-president Cleveland to speak in Indiana. Wont this raise a howl among the silver wing of the Democratic party? He might invite Mr. Bryan also to the same platform and then there would be a lively joint debate. There would be no necessity then for the . speaker, or one of the speakers, to challenge a member of the audience for a throat-cutting side show.

Within the last thirty-two years six presidential candidates have promised to accept a second term. They were Greely, Tilden, Hayes, Cleveland, Bryan and Parker. Hays kept his word and Cleveland did not. We do not know what Greeley, Tilden and Brayan would have done and it is scarcely possible that Mr. Parker will have a chance to show his sincerity. 1 Some Deemocrats declare that they want no platform. They say Judge Parker is platform enough. If the sage of Esopus is the platform, there is only one plank in it and that is the Republican sound money plank. Why not continue Roosevelt whose many-plank platform embraces this one.

Thousands of Democrats who projose to vote for President Roosevelt this year will applaud and adopt the reason given by the Boston Pilot when it said, "The Pilto represents the spirit of the times in refusing to be a perpetual appendage to a discreditable party."

Democrats in the East may announce their divorce from Populism, but Mr. Bryan has shown the country that in the territory west of the Missouri river the terms Democrat and Populist are still synonomous.

Judge Parker took no chances in declaring that he wanted but one term of the presidency. One term of Democratic administration is always more than sufficient for the American people. ?

Judge Parker makes the trusts tremble by denouncing them and then reassures them by admitting that even if the Democrats get into power they will be unable to do anything. i

The Democrats would be more hopeful if they did not feel that Theodore Roosevelt is doing in his own way what the honest, intelligent manhood of the nation knows should be done.

ROBBER BALL Will Roll to the Pole if This Inventor Has His Way.

(Philadelphia Record.) A novel scheme to reach tho Pole has been devised by Peter Xissen, of Chicago, whose purpose it is to start himself up in a gigantic air-bag and to be blown northward over the Arctic ice and snow. This huge ball, he thinks, would roll over a small cottage, as an ordinary pneumatic tire rolls over a stone. Xissen is quoted as saying: ' During most of the three years that Dr. Xansen has been in the ice he looked for high points in the pressure ridges in order to climb them to look for another ice. He says: 'On May 19 I climbed to the top of the highest hummock I have ever mounted. I measured roughly and made it out to be about 24 feet above the ice: but as the latter was considerably above the surface of the water the height was probably 30 feet.' "Xow, give me this balloon filled with air to the pressure of one half ounce to the square inch; give me an ordinary Xorth-western blizzard at the rate of 75 miles an hour, and I will guarantee to travel over such hummocks faster and smoother than the Empire Express on the finest track in Christendom. "Already an experimental ball has been constructed and tried on Lake Michigan. The ball is 32 feet long and 22 feet in diameter. Through the cen ter runs a steel axle, which is held in place by numerous ropes, which radi ate out like the spokes of a bicycle. On this axle a boat is suspended in which the traveler sits. At one end is a window, and at the other end is a small door that will just admit the body of a man. A contraction of about six inches takes place every time one goes in or out. On the inside there is a suction pump to be used to replace the air that escapes and also supply the necessary fresh air for the existence of the man. "The ball is made of heavy canvas, of a fine texture, the seams being carefully sewed with silk and the outside treated with several coats of waerproof varnish. "The ball I have just described was built only for experimental purposes and short journeys, the advantage be ing that it can travel over land and sea and with equal ease can roll over he rugged hills that obstruct the path or float peacefully on the surface of he water. The one he intends to con struct for his Arctic expedition is to be much larger, being of dimensions 115 feet by 75 feet." The cost of these experiments, Mr Braun tells us, has been borne entirey by Xissen, as has everything else pertaining to his invention. He has al ready spent about $400 and expects o spend more before he has gained sufficient confidence among the people to back him up in his Arctic expediion. Xissen is said to have refused tempting offers from managers of amusement enteiprises and to be quite in earnest in his plans. CAMBRIDGE CITY.

The Gennett Theater will tomorrow afternoon and evening offer its patrons Al W. -Martin's spectacular revival of Uncle Tom's Cabin. This attraction is classed as the biggest scenic production of this well known story the American stage has ever seen, it being necessary to utilize two special seventy-foot cars to transport the sixty people, scenery and equipment. Xo such amount of money as Mr. Martin has spent on this production has ever before been expended in this neglected and much-abused but still most successful "of American dramas. The company carries thirty head of ponies, horses, burros, donkeys, oxen, tally-ho coach, traps, log cabin float, ox carts and numerous novelties and gives the most elaborate and largest street parade ever attempted by a traveling theatrical company. The parade will start from the theatre at noon. Maloneyfs Wedding, with McCabe & Mack, a bright farce comedy replete with an excellent vein of American humor and Irish wit comes to the Gennett Theater on next Wednesday night. It boasts of funny dialogues, irresistible situations, gay girls resplendent in modish millinery conceits tuneful music and catchy songs. It does not depend upon slap-stick absurdities nor scenic impossibilities to recommend it to public favor but resorts to clean comedy, an excellent ensemble, and possible plot and a company worthy of more than ordinary consideration, and that its efforts are met with approbation by a fun-loving, if not consistent public is evidenced by the enormous financial and artistic success it has met with. Through Coaches to Nigara Falls via C, C. & L. To better accommodate the travel ing public the C, C. & L. will place one or more of their comfortable highback seat, wide vestibule coaches on the Niagara Falls excursion which leaves here 10:45 r. m., Thursday, August ISth, running through to Niagara Falls without change.

Automatic tom

May Displace Firemen on All Big Railroad Locomotives. (Chicago Tribune.) Automatic stokers for locomitives, to replace firemen, were tested and recently reported on to the effect that there is saving of not less than 7 per cent when using the stoker, as compared with the work of a first-class fireman. The saving was attributed to the fact that when using the stoker the coal is much more evenly distributed, and. the furnace door remaining closed all the time, the smoke Is of a far lighter color, indicating a much more thomugh consumption of gases. The darkest shade of smoke is brown, while most of the emission from the stack shows pure steam. The use of the stoker enables the steam pressure to be kept absolutely constant. This is due to the regularity with which the coal is placed on the crates, the evenness with which it is distributed, and also the fact that the furnace door is not open, and hence the furnace is not cooled by the inrush of air. With the coal conveyor in service the labor of raising the coal in the hopper will be entirely dispensed with, and the work of the fireman becomes simply that of an expert in charge of an efficient machine. In the ordinary type of engines there is no necessity whatever for the stoker, as the fireman must be there anvwav, and his work is such that an ordinary man can execute with ease; but with the long firebox type of engine, on a long run comparatively free from grades, where the engine is loaded to its maximum capacity all the time, the automatic stoker should be found most valuable, as amachine will not tire, and consequently will enable the engine to carry maximum pressure all the time and get the full benefit of the tractive power of the engine over a long, continuous trip. No Substitute Offered Say what yon wMl about druggists offering something "just as good" because it pays better profit, the fact still stands that ninety-nine out cf a hundred druggists recommend Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy when the best remedy for diarrhoea is asked for, and do so be cause they know it is the one remedy that can always be depended upon, even in the most severe and dangerous cases.
