THE TAME ,ANACONDA;
A few years ago a noted wi 10. -
beast tamer gave a performance
with his pets in one of the leading
London theatres. He took his
lions, tigers, leopards and hyenas
through their part of the enter-
tainment, awing his audience by
his wonderful nerve and control
over them. As a closing act of the
performance he was to introduce
an enormous boa -constrictor, thir-
ty-five feet long, Ile had bought
it when it was only two or three
days old ; and for twenty-five years
he had handled it daily so that it
was considered perfectly harmless
and completely under control. He
had seen it grow from a tiny rep-
tile, which he had often carried in
his bosons, into a fearful monster.
The curtain rose upon an Indian
woodland scene. The weird strains
of an Oriental band stole through
the trees. A rustling noise is heard,
and a huge serpent is seen winding
its way through the undergrowth.
It stops. Its head is erected. Its
bright eyes sparkle. Its whole
body seems animated. A man e-
merges from the heavy foliage.
Their eyes meet. The serpent
quails before the man—the man is
victor. The serpent is under the
control of a master. Under his
guidance and direction it performs
a. series of frightful feats. At a
signal from the man it slowly ap-
proaches hint, and begins to coil
its heavy folds around him. High-
er and higher do they rise, until
man and serpent seem blended in
one. Its hideous head is reared
aloft above the man's. The man
gives a little scream, and the aud-
ience unite in a great burst of ap-
plause, but it freezes on their lips.
The trainer's scream was a wail of
death agony. Those cold, slimy
folds had embraced him for the
last time. They had crushed 'bhp
life out of him, and the horror-
stricken audience heard bone after
bone craek, as those powerful folds
tightened upon him. Man's play-
thing had become his master. His
slave for twenty-five years had now
enslaved him.
In this horrible incident is por-
trayed the whole story of intemper-
ance. The man who has taken the
first glass of intoxicating liquor
has the boa of intemperance in his
bosom. If he throttles the monster
now, it is easily done. But if he
permits it to live, feeds and nour-
ishes it, he may control it for even
twenty-five years, but it is continu-
ally growing, and some day its
soul-destroying folds will encircle
his soul, and bear it to those re-
gions of woe 'where the worm
dieth not, and the fire is not
quenched.'

taction paid them by the Canadian
people must be further increased.
These items from the list of free
goods imported from the United
States fully explain the opposition
of our protected manufacturers to
any change in the dir6ntion of re-
ciprocity. They now enjoy the
right to import what they are
pleased to designate raw material,
and after it passes through their
hands they sell it to the Canadian
consumers at protection prices.
The farmer, who must pay duty on
his implements and other "raw
matertal," sells in a market in
which a tariff can afford no com-
pensating advantage. This con-
trast shows what organization and
voting for one's own interest can
accomplish.

Jug -handled Reciprocity.
(Farmer's Sun.)
The antagonism shown by the
Canadian manufacturers towards
reciprocal trade with the United
States is not outwardly consistent
with the wide measure of freedom
t]iey now enjoy in importing from
that country. Iron and steel, wire
rod, for example, is free to manu-
facturers of wire, and was import-
ed last year to the value of $1,212,-
205. The manufacturers pay no
duty on this, but sell the product
to the Canadian consumer at pro-
tection prices. On woven wire
fencing the duty is 15 per cent, and
it is as much the raw material of
the farmer, gardener and poultry -
raiser as the free wine is of the
manufacturer. The total free im-
portation of iron and steel manu-
factured last year was $6,524,835,
and this was largely, though not
entirely, used by protected manu-
facturers. In our free imports
from the United States last year,
metal, minerals, and manufacturers
of them make an aggregate of
$9,224,420. This indicates that the
protected class in Canada enjoy all
the benefits of that reciprocity of
which they are ready to deprive
others. Hides wore imported free
of duty to the value of $2,174,764,
but the purchasers of leather and
leather goods must nay protection.
The total value of wood. and man-
ufactures of wood imported duty
free from. the United States during
the year was $4,248,462, and a con-
siderable portion of this was made
up of supplies for manufacturers
receiving protection prices for
their output. Our woolen manu-
facturers, who are agitating for
more protection, enjoy the advan-
tage of free wool. Over a million
and a half dollar's worth of crude
rubber and gutta pereha carne in
free from the United States, while
the purchasers of rubber goods
must pay from 25 to 35 per cent.
protection. Undressed furs camp
in free across the line to the value
of close on a million dollars. Drugs
and chemicals used largely in the
manufacture of imported articles
were imported free to the value of
over two and a quarter millions.
Cotton manufacturers paid no duty
on the wool, waste, and fine yarn
they required to the value of $6,-
047,530, and they are protesting
that the present high rate of pro -
