Press Breaks Down. .
Afew moments after the Gaznrrn’s
mammoth’press began to throw off its
double sheet papers yesterday after-
noon, a bolt broke in ,the interior
mechanism, which necessitated the
transfer of two pages of the forms at a
time, to the old, single sheet Dai'y
press and the cutting of‘the paper into
half sheets, thus necessitating double
press work in addition to the delay
caused by cutting into two parts, the
large and unwieldy sheets of paper.
This exasperating accident resulted
inavery late appearance of the GA-
zurrn upon the streets, and no doubtin
depriving many of its patrons of their
favorite paper. With all possible care
such accidents are sure to befall all news
paper offices .whose presses have to be
driven to their utmost speed in order to
deliver their large editions on time.

A Bicycle for “Capt. Ike.”
Now that the City Council has taken
time by the forelock and purchased a
silent steed for Chief Bradley, that he
may scorch about the outskirts of our
city on the lookout for evil disposed
Weary Willies, some wicked person
suggests that to be in the swim, the
Selectmen get together, for once at
least, if possible, and unanimously vote
to buy the first Selectman a bicycle in
order that he can ascertain where he is
at.
It is true no man in official life here
in Norwalk would better grace or stride
the silent steed than our own Captain
Ike, and no one, not even Bellerophon
with Pegasus, could outstrip him in a
race.
Nor would it be necessary, at first, to
draw upon the carefully guarded town
treasury for a Lillian Russell gold
“bike,” as one of the common variety
would do until after Captain .1116 had
mastered the pigeon-wing antics of the
pesky critter. If after he had‘won his
‘ Spurs a better one is desired, in collect-
tion could be taken up from among his
friends of the G. A. R. and one secured
that would knock the fair Lillian’s into
innocuous desuetude.
But seriously, the thought of all the
pleasures that Captain Ike would eX<
pericnce pale beside the awful thought
of a possible disfigurement of the pride,
the joy, the hope of a large constituency,
and the friend of the soldier.
The thought is too painful to dwell
upon, though it brings up again with
terrific force a realizing sense of the
mutability of all things human.
But when it is proposed to entrap him
in all the perils of the wheel and
deprive us, even temporarily, of our
first Selectman, with a great big 8, the
GAZETTE must enter its solemn protest.
O.
Pennsylvania’s Manufacturer’s Club.
The above club has just held its an-
nual meeting in the City of Brotherly
Love and in addition to other matters,
puts forth the following instructive
suggestions and statistics:—
It recommends that “the Cabinet'be
enlarged by the creation of a Depart-
ment of Commerce and Manufacturers,
for which a bill has been introduced in
the Senate, the report states that we
haVe reached a period when another de-
partment may be created with advan-
tage lo the interests of the nation. It
the tunnels have a department to them-
solves, and nobody grudges them the
advilntige, surely, says the report, the
mlniifacturers may fairly demand half
of a department. The farm products
of theflUnited States, according to the
last cell... ,,_were valued at two and a
half billidii’ dollars, while the products
of the manufacturers, including, of
course, raw material produced by
griculture, reached a value of nine
and a half billions. In friendly bands
such a department'could, according to
' Secretary Clark, do much to promOte'
export trade and ‘reciprocity’, which
will be made a permanent part of the
policy of the government when, the
protectionists shall return to power.’ ,
Under the heading of ‘the hard times’
the report proceeds to a scathing ar-
raignment of the Wilson bill and the
policy of PresidentCleveland. fDuring
the year just passed,’ says the report,
'the depression acquired additional in-
.tensity, the income of the government
being continuously below its expendi-
tures, and the system of ‘tariff reform,’
in practical Operation, producing aug-
mentation of the national debt, while
breaking down the business of the
citizens who bear the burden of the in-
debtedness as their obligation.
“The revolutionary nature of this
policy may be indicated by a statement
of the single fact that while, under the
preceding administration, in the years
1891-‘92-’93, the public indebtedness
was decreased by two hundred and
forty-five million dollars, it has been
increased during the last fifteen months
to the extent of two hundred and sixty-
two million dollars. The tariff reform-
ers have restored all of the burden that
was taken off in the period referred to
and made an increase of. seventeen
million dollars.
“The influence of the Wilson tarifl'
upon American industry is indicated by
comparing the statistics for 1894 with
those for 1895. The comparison sup-
plies demonstration of the fact that our
own business has suffered in almost all
directions. The chief exception appears
in the item of exports of domestic
merchandize, which were valued at
nearly the same figures, $807,000,000,
for the two years. The experts of
agricultural products, however, de-
clined from $573,634, 383 to $545,714,375,
a decrease of almost five per cent. under
the operation of a tariff act which was
passed with professions of extreme
solicitude for,the interests of American
farmers. Of all the industries smitten
by the Wilson act the business of woolen
manufacture, ever the subject of par-
ticular hostility from free traders, suf-
fered most. The imports swelled from
$17,336,164 to $60,319,301, or nearly 350
per cent. Meantime removal of the
wool duties had the effect to reduce the
number of American sheep from 47,273,“
533 in 1893 to 38,298,783 in 1896, a loss
of nine million sheep, and while the
number decreased 19 per cent. the value
fell from $125,909,364 to $65,167,735.
As a test of a low tarifi' we have before
our eyes the demonstration that it
operates to impoverish this country and
to enrich our European rivals. Almost
all the. ills from which nations suffer are
the consequence of the application of
false and delusive theories to the busi-
ness of government. This nation has
paid dearly for the proof that the theory
is unsound which teaches that a coun-
try should not shelter its industries
from destructive foreign competton,
and the belief may be expressed that
Americans, of this generation at least,
will regard the evidence as conclusive.”

Hoyt’s Theatre.
Denman Thompson’s play “The Old
Homestead” comes back to Hoyt’s
Teeatre next Wednesday night and will
be as welcome as ever to its many ad-
mirers in this city. The cast of charac-
ters remains about the same, but new
scenes and surroundings will be used.
The musical features will be found es-
pecially pleasing, as many new arrange-
ments of old-fashioned songs will be
offered by the famous double quartette.

The County Commissioners will come
to Darien on Wednesday next and hold .

sion to erect two poles in front of the
premises of Mrs. Cornelia Brady on
Main street. Some time ago the curb
line was changed by order of the Select-
men, which necessitates a res->tting of
some of the poles, but Mrs. Brady ob-
jects to the location chosen for the two
in front of her premisis.

During the winter of 1893, F. M. Martin;
of Long Beach, West Va., contracted a.
severe cold which left him with a cough. In
speaking of how he cured it he says: “I
used several kinds of cough syrup but found
no relief until I-bought a bottle of Cham-
berlain’s Cough Remedy, which reheved me
almost instantly, and in a short timé brought
about a complete cure.” When troubled With
a cough or cold use this remedy and you
will not find it necessary to try several kinds
before you get relief. It has been 1n the
market for over twenty years and constantly
grown in favor and p0 ularit .' For sale at
