TALIENTS.
Meats are seeds by Heaven’s good gift bestowed,
To render back their increase unto God;
Talents are deeds to do, or duties done,
Whate‘er their number bo—five,ltwo or one.
As is their use, so is their worth,
As Is the lmpnlle given,
They wither here upon the earth.
0r ripen here for heaven. —Robert Magulro.
CAUGHT ' IN A STORM.
“We might just as well have been standing
behind the counter in New York all these ten
days,” sighed Barbara Hale, “for all the out-
of—the-way adventures we’ve had!”
“Who wants out-of-thcwuy adventures?”
laid Dorcas Dunn scornfully.
“Behind the counter, indeed i” chimed-in
Mary Vmiuecker. “Can you breathe in clo-
ver scented air like this behind the counter?
Can you get the mountain view like this from
Sixth avenue? \Vhat more would the girl
want, I should like to know?” ‘
Barbara sighed once more and shook her
head.
“It is all so tonic," she said. “It isn’t what
I expected at: all.” '
The three girls—Barbara, Dorcas and Mary
—worc sitting on a side hill under the shade
of a grand old cedar tree. , Barbara, who had
once taken a quarter’s lessons in drawing,
had a sketch board on her lap and was try-
ing—With but little succesg it must be owned
—to reproduce'thc lovelyribbon like curves of
the. river that wound its way through the
valley below.
Mary had her needle work in her lap, and
Dol'cas, with her hands clasped under her
head, had long given up all attempt to read
the paper covered novel that she had brought
with her. ,
“The sky and the sunshine are so much bet-
ter,” she said.
They were three shop girls—bright, ambi-
tious, spirited young things, full of life and
aspirations, even though they were kept
down by the force of circumstances; and
they clubbed together their slender resources
in order to enjoy their vacation to better and
vantage. ‘
Dorcas, the business member of the firm,
had bought an exclusion ticket first, and
traveled out to Schepp’s valley to see what
could be done. But it is needless to say that
the hotel and boarding house prices were far
beyond their simple means. ~
“Is there no place,” said she, “where we
could obtain one room and the very simplmt
fare for less money?"
“Yo‘u might try Old Man Morris,” said
the portly dame who kept the Valley house.
“It’s a quiet place, and Mrs. Morris she ain’t
no great of a cook, but; there’s them as has
boarded there, I’m told.”
“Where is it?” eagerly asked Dorcas.
And the landlady went to the door to point:
out a. slender blue thread of smoke that was
curling up heavenward from a mass of woods
on a distant hill, and once more Dorcas set
forth Oll hcr pilgrimage, this time with un-
doubted success.
Sho engaged one room. The board, to be
sure, was plain, the bed a. coarse husk mat-
tress, with a blanket spread on the floor for
Dorcas herself, the furniture home made and
unpainted. But there was a grove of pine
woods in the rear; the blackbirds piped their
silver flutes all day long, and the bees darted
in mid out of the red lilies by the garden
wall, and our three heroines believed them-
selves to be in paradise.
But even as Barbara Hale thus bewailed
herself, a portontous shadow swept across
the sun, and looking around, they saw that a.
mass of livid purple thunder clouds had piled
themselves up along the Western sky, while
distant mutterings, and now and then a sad-
den flush, announced the coming of a storm.
Dorcas sprung to her feet, Barbara began
hurriedly to fold up her sketching apparatus,
Mary put her thimble and scissors in her
pocket.
“We must get home quickly as possible!”
cried all three.
But in availing themselves of a “short cut”
across a patch of woods they got hopelessly
lost. The sun set behind the purple battle-
meut of clouds, the dusk fell rapidly in these
dense woods, and the rain began to patter
down in huge drops.
Barbara. the aspirant after adventure, bo-
gun to cry.
“We are lost!” she said.
“Lost? Nonsensel” said brave Dorcas.
“When I can see the railway track shining
down below. Who ever got lost close to a
railway line? Let's make for the track.” " '
“And get run over,” lamented Barbara.
“Not likely when’ there’s only one train a
day, and that at; noon,” laughed Dorcas. “If
we walk along the railway line we must come
out somewhere, don’t you see?”
“And besides,” added Mary, “there is a lit-
tle ruined cabin not far from here where the
railroad flagmau used to live before they
changed the location of the station. I re-
member Mrs. Morris showing it to me once.”
“Oh! oh!” shrieked Barbara. “I couldn’t:
go there! The flagman was killed _on the
track. There’s a. g-g—ghost therel”
“Would you rather stay here and be
drenched through with rain?” severely de-
manded Mary. -
- “0r struck with lightning?” added Dorcas.
And the upshot of it was that the three fu-
gitives took refuge in a miserable oldshanty
clOse alongside of the railroad track, where
weeds were growing up through the cracks
of the floor, and a plentiful portion of the
rain came pattering through the leaks in the
roof, while the old stone chimney, all settling
to one side, looked as if no stroke of light-
niug could harm it very much.
“But it‘s some shelter,” said Mary cheer-
fully. “We‘ll stay here until the shower is
ever, and then make the best- of our way
home.”
The shower, however, ghowed-no-indioatiou
of chafing in its vigor. {The mlnjntillpoured
down In sheets; the thunder bellowed
_§_.._..____ -—
f‘Oh,’dearl oh._dearl" said Barbara, wring-
iug herhands; “it must be midnight!”
“It can’t be 9 o’clock yet,” said Mary. ,.
“And I’m so hungry! Oh, how I wish I
hadn’t eaten the last of those sandwiches!
Oh, oh! what 'is that?" fluttered Barbara.
An unusually vivid electrical flash had re-
vealed something white and spectral at the
window. All three girls jumped at once.
“The ghost!" shriekcd Barbara, stopping
her ears and shutting her eyes as tight as was
practicable.
“A stray white cow,” suggested Mary.
“A young man in a flannel tennis suit,’
said Dorcas, the closest observer of all.
“Don’t let him come In,” said Barbara.
“We shall be robbed and murdered I”
“Not while we are three to one,” said com-
posed Dorcas.
And at the same moment a voice sounded
hurriedly at the door:
“Please, may I come in? I know it seems
intrusion, but it‘s raining a deluge and I’m
wet through.”
“Come in by all means,” said Mary.
And the ghost entered, dripping like a
fountain.
“All In the dark ?" said he, groping his way.
“There are no gas ,jetahere,” said Dorcas
ironically. .
“But we might have a little blaze of stic ,"
hazarded tho new arrival, shaking himself
like a Newfohndland dog. “I saw by that
last glare of lightning that. there was a heap
in the corner, and I’ve got my match box
intact.”
“Oh, that wouldbe splendidl" cried Dor-
cas, who was wet and shivering.
“And I’ve got some fish on a string outside,
and we could have some supper,” suggested
the ghost, cheerfully.
“I'm so-o-o hungry l” walled Barbara.
The stranger was evidently used to moun-
tain camping. He had a fire kindled in no:
time. and the fish, cie ned by aid of his
pocket knife and wash in one of the pools
outside, were presently boiling over the
coals, emitting a most savory smell.
“You must be a good genius i” cried Mary.
"I'm only a tramp," said the ghost, “and
I’m over so much obliged to you youu g ladies
for letting me in.”
“We couldn’t have kept you out if we had
tried," said Dorcas, frankly.
“You don’t think I would have thrust my-
sl! h here against your wishes? Even a
tramp wouldn’t do that,” said the young man.
The sticks had blaud cheerfully up; the
ghost ooouomized than to keep the flames
alive as long as possible. He told thrilling ‘
tales of his experience in these woods; he
made himself a most agreeable companion. ,
"Are you from the Valley house?” asked ‘
Dorcas.
“No; I am camping just where it happeun.’
“Oh!" said '. “Then you are poor like
us? We are shopgirls on our vacation.”
“For," she said to herself, “I am deter.
mined he shall not take us for other than we
are.” '
“And,” obsefi’ed the ghost, “I should think
you were having a very jolly time of it. A
little more trout, Miss—Hale! And how did
you come out in these wildernesses?”
So then,_of course, little Barbara, who was
generally the spokeswoman of tho assem-
blage, related all her efforts to secure sum-
mer board.
“You see,” said she, “Mr. Archer pays us so
small a salary that we haven’t much margin
for luxury." ,
“He ought to pay you more," said the
ghost. “I’m in, business myself. I know how
It is. People can’t be expected to live on
nothing.”

of the firm—and a man can achieve almost
anything he pleases—do pay your employes a
decent sum I”
“I will,” said the yOuug man in the white
flannel tennis suit
And he spoke as if he meant ft.
And then Dorcas discoursed still more
learnedly about the rights and wrongs, the
injustices and petty trials of life behind the
counter.
“We are ladies, you see.” said she, “and we
expect to be treated like ladies. But I sup
pose you have your troubles too.”
“Lots of ’em,” said the young man, gazing
ubsontly into the fire. “Every one has, I sup
so.”
So that they all become great friends.
At midnight the ruin ceased, and the moon
burst in a flood of glory on tho dripping
scene.
"We can go home now,” said Dorcas, clap-
ping hcr hands. “And I dare say, young
man,” with a pretty air of patronage, “Mr.
Morris could make you -up a bed on the
kitchen floor at our house, without charging
very much for it.”
“I should be delighted if he could,” said the
young man, meekly.
And so it was arranged.
The girls made an extra toilet next morn-
ing to meet “the ghost,” as they called him,
at the breakfast table.
But to their infinite disgust he was gone
when they descended.
“Yo see,” said old man Morris, “that there
white flnlllllng suit 0’ his’n had shrunk up
with the wet, t9 it_wasn’l: fairly presentable,
and he just cut across lots'ufore daybreak an‘
cleared out.” ~
“I told you so,” said Barbara. “He was a
ghost, and being such be dissolved into thin
air at cock crow 1”
“And I had put on my blue cambric gown,”
sighed Mary.
. “And my hair was crimped so nicely,” said
Dorcas.
“But he gave me this ere,” said Old Man
Morris, displaying on the horny palm of his
hand a gold half eagle.
“Rather extravagant for a tailor’s clerk,”
said Mary.
“That is just the class of people,” said Dor-
cas, loftily, “who don’t know how to spend
money properly.”
“I thought he was very nice,” said Bar-
bara; “arid I thought perhaps he was going
to be the beginning of a real adventure.”
September set: in sultry as the tropics this
year, and the three girls returned to Archer’s
great stdro with unwilling footsteps.
But the cashier met them with a smiling
face.
“I’ve received instructions,” said he, “to
raise the salaries of all the girls in this de—
partment 10 per cent. Young Mr. Archer
himself told me to do so.”
“Young Mr. Archer?”
“There he is now,” said the cashier.
And the next minute the hero of the rainy
night had come up and was cordially shaking
hands with them.
“Then you are not the tailor’s young man
after all?" said Mary, 11 little taken aback.
“Did I say I was?” said Archibald Archer.
At the end of the autumn little Barbara
Halo had a confession to make.
“Girls,” said she, “when I thought that
young Mr. Archer was going to be the begin-
ning of an adventure I was right. He has
asked me to marry him, and when we go on
our summer vacation next; year we shall go
together.”
And Mary and Dorcas, kissed little Bar-
bara and congratulated her from the very
bottom of their hearts.
“This,” said they, "is an adventure worth
having.”——Saturday Night.
Bank Thieves in America.
“A ‘mob,’ ”. said the detective, “consists
usually of two men. One of them is known
as the ‘sfall‘ and the other the ‘sneak.’ The
cashier, who usually faces the inclosure be-
hind which the clerks are at work, can be
made to turn in his chair by the ‘stall.’ who
will pretend to be deaf, and while talking
about opening an account will lean over so as
to get the cashier’s eyes away from the front
of the building. In an instant the ‘sncak,’
with a pen behind his ear and ink on his
fingers, perhaps wearing an inky ofilco coat,
is behind the railing, having entered through
the cashier’s room. He is skillful in turning
rapidly so that his face is not seen, and know-
ing exactly where the money is ' located that
he covets, he has it under his coat and is out
of the inclosuro and out of the building be-
fore any one knew even that ho was there.
“There are two of the most expert ‘mobs’
of bank thieves in America at liberty this
moment, any member of either of them be-
ing fully capable of carrying out just; such
a crime as I have described. It .would not
[)0 expedient; to make their names public. It
is just as easy to rob a bank by the sneak
method today as it was. fifteen years ago.
The only wonder is that there isn’t more of
it. Your evenings bank detective would not
recognize the king of all bank sneaks who is
alive and at liberty today if he walked in
I‘I‘ed 1fired the time of day.”-—New York
or '
IGNORANT MR. MILLS.
How the King of the Free Traders Blun-
ders In His Finite and Figures.
Congressman Mills, author of the free
trade Mills bill, spoke in St. Louis a few
nights ago. The Globe-Democrat of that
city devotes a‘column to the exposure of his
absurdities and mistakes. Here‘ure some of
the points; '
“The Democratic party proposes to reduce
the taxes on the clothing of the people; it
proposes to reduce the taxes on the food of
the people; it proposes to reduce the taxes on
the implements of labor with which they
support themselves and their families. This
is the distinctive policy cf the Democratic
party, and she takes no free whisky in hers.”
Will Mr. Mills or any one authorized to
speak for him name the articles of food, the
implements of labor or the "clothing of the
people” which are dearer here than in free
trade Great Britain? For every one of these
articles: named uby him or his spokesman
which is 5 per cent. higher here than in Eng-
land, Tho Globe-Democrat will name four
articles which are as cheap here as in any
other part of the world, or cheaper. ~
“The Democratic party is the friend of the
workingman.”—Roger Q. Mills.
The Democratic party is the friend of the
workingman in Great Britain, China and
South America. The Mills bill is framed in
the interest of the workingmen outside this
country. For the American workingman
the Democratic party has. no use and never
had. Let no mistake he made on this point.
Protection to domestic industries was for-
bidden by the constitution of the Confederacy
which Roger Q. Mills swore to support. The
Constitution of the United States has no such
provision. The free trader is as much an an
nehronism in this age as a coat of mail on a
Confederate treasury note.
Dccelving the Soldiers.
Hon. John C. Black, in his report as com-
missioner of pensions. ingenuously arranges
figures to show that President Cleveland has
signed more pension bills than certain Ro-
. publican presidents. Granted, but what does
it signify? Not that the president is friendly
to the Union soldiers. The test of his feel-
Ings towards them is found in his vetoes.
Not the number of bills sent by congress to
the president, but the number he - kills bears
testimonytohis hostile spirit. Here, then,
is the record: From 1861 to 1885, under
twenty-four years of Republican rule, the
number of pension vetoes was eight. From
1885 to 1888, in three and a half years, Presi-
dent Cleveland has vetoed 175 bills
for pensions and disapproved of 156 others.
Total list of pensions killed by President
Cleveland, 331. Past Commander—in-Chief
Van der Voort of the G. A. R. says that he
has personally examined most of these bills
and knows that they were nearly all merit-,
orious. However, the tax-soldiers do not take
as much exception to the vetoes as to tho
slurriug and unbecoming language used by
the president in his veto messages. It must,
also be borne in mind that each of these bills
had passed a. Democratic house as well as the
Republican senate. If President Cleveland,
was right in these vetoes. then the Demo-
crude hOusewns wrong and is unfit to be
trusted. On the other hand, if the Demo-
cratic house was right in passing these bills, ‘
the president’s vetoes are wrong and he is:
unworthy of confidence. Take which ,horn ‘
you‘pleaso of the dilemma and it shows the E
untrustworthiness of Democracy.——St. Clair '
(Mich) Republican.
Reading the Death List.
The daily death list published in the news-
papers is anxiously consulted by more people
than those who have an idle curiosity to know
who is dead. During a campaign, candidates
for office are anxious to attend funerals that
are liable to congregate men of influence. A
certain class of lawyers are on the lookout
for damage suits. Tombstone dealers take
notes with a view to businem in the future.
Insurance agents make a memorandum to
call upon the surviving relatives in ductime.
The keepers of the beer houses out near the
cemeteries gouge their orders according to
the outlook for the day. The class who want
free carriage ridm scan the column atten-
tively, and dozens of other classes read the
dreary list with more or less selfishness.——Un-
dcrtaker in Globe-Democrat.
AN ARCTIC RAILWAY.
THE LAPP’S QUERY AS HIS REIN-
DEER HOME IS INVADED.
A Great Foot of Locomotion Due to
English and Scotch Enterprise-AMomi-
taIn of Ore—Pictpresque Scenery—Some
Curious Remarks.
A railway within the Arctic circle is now
an accomplished fact, and to Englishmen and
to Scotchmen is due this great feat of locomo-
tion which will connect the Gulf of Bothnia
with a very high latitude on the Norwegian
coast, but with open water all the year round
on the North sea. Gellwara just now is the
center of great activity, for the Swedish and
Norwegian railway has brought the inex-
haustible ores of its mountains to the shores of
the Gulf of Bothnia, and a small fleet of En-
glish steamers daily await the morning and
evening trains at Lulen, which bring from 400
to 500 tons of ore, drawn by a powerful engine
of North British manufacture, whilst 10,000 or
12,000 tons of northern coal stands pilql upon
the railway quays. The Swedes in Norbotten
are not altogether friendly to this great un-
dertaking, but the Swedish government
wisely recognize the great results which Eu-
glish contractors and British capital have
secured for what; was practically an inac-
cessible district, and where for over eighty
years the wealth of the mineral district has
been recognized, but there has been no mode
of conveyance which could bring it; to the
highways of commerce.
The mountain itself is of some 300,000 acres
in area, and wherever you turn on its face,
and even on its summit, traces of the ore are
to be found, sometimes at the highest levels
protruding; or at the lower workings at a
very few feet from the surface. The railway
company are themselves working the mines
or lodes, which are situated on different parts
of the mountains, and from which small
tramway lines descend to the line which for
five miles’stoadily ascends the mountains
from Gellwara, where eve? grand hotel is
being erected, and a new c lurch is already
complete, in which all nationalities, includ-
ing the Lapps, meet for service. Although
the railway is not yet open for passenger
traffic, permission was accorded me to jour-
ney to the mines by the courteous resident
director at Lulea, Mr. Henry Millett, and al-
though Pullman cars have not yet been
transported to these northern latitudes, a
very laudable attempt had been made to
transpose a break van into a sleeping cur,
.where I passed two nights on my journey up
anddown.
Starting from the town and port of Lulea,
which, like so many other Swedish towns,
has been half laid low by fire, the train
skirts for miles the side of the Gulf of Both—
iiia and passes the remarkable old church of
Comic Stadln, an edifice boasting eight cen-
turies of antiquity, and with u. carved and
gilded tryptich of such remarkable beauty
and delicacy that 82,000 has been offered and
refused by the parish for the unique speci—
men of Flemish carving. I was present at
the monthly communion of the parish, and
was much struck with the solemn demeanor
of the peasants, as man and wife walked to
the' altar together and received the com
munion in both kinds in their mouth, but
without being allowed to touch the elements
or handle the chalice. The officiating priest
took the eastward position, and during the
communion of the people the “Agnus Dei”
was sung by a choir in the gallery. At Gell-
wara there is an old but not very interesting
church, now abandoned, as it is full of hu-
man remains, and a new and modern build-
ing stands about 150 yards from the railway
station.
The road to this wonderful center of enter-
prise and activity traverses a district which
wonderfully reminds the traveler of the
country between Port Arthur and Winnipeg,
on the Canadian Pacific railway, but the
view from Gellwara itself is much more in-
teresting and mountainous than can be seen
on the Canadian side of the Rocky moun-
tains. The mountain itself from which the
railway draws its ore is 2,000 feet above the
sea level, and the view from its summit dis-
closes a series of hills and mountains stretch-
ing to the Norwegian frontier, towards which
the track is being steadily laid. A member
of the house of Cecil is one of the railway
directors, and Messrs. \Vilkinson 85 Jarvis,
of Victoria street, Westminster, are the
energetic contractors to whose pluck and de-
termination, amid mauy discouragements of
local disputauts, this great work of crossing
the Artie Circle by railway has been accom-
plished. then the line has been completed
to Ofoteu it- will be the taco ized tourist
route by which tourists, who ve ascended
the North Cape, can cross the Norwegian
mountain ranges and return southward to
Stockholm by rail or water from Lulea,
where the Swedish and Norwegian railway
now terminates, but from which there will
‘ be a connection with the Sundsvall route to
Stockholm at Boden.
The mind of local editors and local press-
meu is proverbially small, and it is amusing
to read in the Norbotteu journal of the "pn-
triotic” attempts to save Sweden from the
grasp of foreign intruders, but it is only
through English ,capital and British enter—
prise that the" great forests of the north of
Sweden have been utilized for the European
market, and that this remarkable railway
communication has been begun, continued,
and will ere long, I believe, be successfully
ended, not very far removed from the most;
northern town in the world. One remarkable
fact I learnt at a lode where eight Scotch
miners were at work, that at the same price
for piece work as paid to the Swedes, they

A LABOR LEADER’S VIEW.
Ii. Says the Action of the \Vlndow Glass
Workers Was a “‘Ise Move.
In the current isuc of The Labor Tribune
Secretary Martin, of tho Amalgamated As-
sociation of Iron and Steel Workers, has the
following: “If what we read in the daily pa-
pers relative to the window glass workers
detailing three of their number to take the
stump for tariff is true, it is one of the wisest
moves ever made by the men of an industry
whose only hope for tho maintainauco of
good wages is in a protgctivc tariff. As we
haye repeatedly stated in these columns, it
would lie utterly impossible to maintain the
present standard of wages in protected in-
dustries, even those who are thoroughly or-
ganized, were it not for the fact that the
manufacturers therein are protected by a
tarifl on their products. Give us free trade,
the ultimate aim of Mills, Carlislo and other
free traders, and though every man in the
trade was in an organization for the purpose
of keeping up wages, they would fail to
maintain the present standard. The window
glass workers, seeing their wages menaccd
by constant nibbling at the tarifl. have set
sentiment aside in the interest of their trade
and wages, and In this they deserve the
greatest commendation, particularly so since
they have decided to allow no political party
to defray the expenses of their speakers. If
the latter confine themselves solely to tariff
in their speeches, we believe that they will be
universally indorsed by all men who desire
to see workingmen get good wages."
The Mills Bill in Connecticut.
The Hartford Courant has investigated the
standing of the manufacturers of Connecti-
cut in respect to the Mills bill, and it asserts
that they were never more united on any
subject than they are in opposition to that
measure. It has mado inquiry at one manu
facturing center after another, and hears the
same story everywhere. Evcu earnest Dem-
ocrats denounce the measure and express
their, intention of making their opposition
felt by voting for Harrison. The situation
could hardly be otherwise.
A state which is engaged so largely in
manufact iugasConnecticut is could not
vote to sustain a measure which strikes so di-
rectly at its prosperity as the Mills bill does.
Both workiugmen and manufactures; must
see-this, and their number will be certainly
more than enough to overcome the meagre
.. plurality the state gave Cleveland in 1884.—

Nearly Every Mlddlctown Manufacturer
Protests Against the Mills Bill.
The undersigned manufacturers residing
and doing business in the city of Middletown,
N. Y., recognize the facti'that’ the growth
and prosperity of our city has been and is
now largely due to the various manufacturing
interests which have grown up in our midst.
We also recognize tho further fact that the
growth of such industries and the capital em-
ployed therein have been almost entirely in-
duced by the protection afforded by the
American tariff system.
We cannot -therefox‘e but view’ with the
greatest alarm the attempts now being made
by friends of free trade to thwart and over-
throw such tariff system, and we believe that
the steps now being taken. ill ‘IlLtb direction
will be greatly injurious to our city, to our
various manufacturing industries, and to the
mechanics and ivorkingmon employed there-
in, and that the success of said measure, even
if not entirely dcstn‘uctivobf the protective
system, would commit the country to an op-
posite policy and directly tend to tho ulti-
mate overthrow of such bdneficcnt system. _

The Curse of Chenpness.
The hypocritical nature of the appeal of
the English free traders to the workingmen
of that country that they would be benefited
by cheapness, says the San Francisco Chron-
icle, is gradually being disclosed. English
toilers urobegiuniug to see the evil to them‘
selves of excessive cheapness. At the annual
meeting of the Trades Union congress held
recently in England, the parliamentary
committee in the body of its report used this
language: ,
“The demon of cheapness has permeated
our whole social system, and while the cheap-
ness of goods has been a matter for wonder,
purchasers Seldom ora'ncvér give a. thought
to the human blood and muscle that have
been ground up in the production of the arti-
cle.”
\Vhy should purchasers give a. thought to
the matter? Have they not been told over
and over again by free traders that cheap
ness is more beneficial to the working than to
any other class? Is it reasonable to suppose
so long as a theory goes unchallenged that. the
non-producing consumer is going to trouble
his conscience about the matter? If the
working man is content to see his “muscle
and blood ground up into articles" so as to
make them cheaper, why should the non-
producer quarrel with him? But the work-
ingman is gradually learning the fact that
the business of chcapenin‘g is largely con-
ducted at his expense, and as soon as he has
the lesson thoroughly learned he will be apt
to knock overboard a. system which has for
its foundation cheapness procured by the
grinding up of human muscle and blood.
Keep it Before the People!
NEW YORK, July ’l'.—A special to The
World from London says: On account of the
tariff issue, English newspapers give con-
stant attention to our political campaign.
The Times, after quoting approvingly from
President Cleveland’s letter to Tammany
Hall, says: “It; would hardlybo possible to
put the free trade case more clearly or more
strongly, and yet, such is the force of words,
President Cleveland shrinks from the use of
the term ‘freo trade,’ and in fact declares
that those who taunt him with being a. Free
Trader are deceiving the country. It is
certain that the arguments which Presi-
dent Cleveland urges are those which Cobden
used to employ forty-five years ago, and
which any English free trader would employ
now. \Vo aro very glad to see President
Cleveland using them.”
The foregoing quotation from The London‘
Times was telegraphed to the Buffalo papers.
This news was suppressed by The Buffalo
Courier, the Democratic-organ at President
Cleveland’s former home. The Courier-
knows that The London Times understands
the language of free trade as well as the
president; knows his a. b, c. Groiver Cleve-
land is the candidate favored by British

Caught Again.
With a cup of free coffee I drink to the
health of the Democratic party—R. Q. Mills.
Who made coffee free? What party took
the duty of! coffee? The Republican party.
If the Democratic party had their way, a
duty would be again placed on ten and coffee,
the sugar duty would be increased, andlthe
duty on every article produced in this coun-
try-that is to say, every duty that protects
any American producer or worker—would
be cut. down below the revenue point; or
swapt: away altogether. This is the sort of
friendship for American industry which the
Democratic party entertains.
Dudes and Their Canes.
The silver knobs on dude canes are grow-
ing bigger and bigger every week. A poor
little imitation cockuey was seen the other
day trying to patronize the universe through
half .a pair of eyeglasses and to extract
nourishment from the head of a cane that he
could hardly get between his teeth, and the
attempt gave him the appearance of being in
a state of strangulation. A few canes have
appeared with oxidized silver heads that, if
solid, must weigh five pounds at least, and
the impossibility of nursing from them must:
fill the soul of the dude with misery. _ They do
say it is becoming the correct thing to have
an imported valet to toil along the streets be-
hind the dude and carry his cane for him,
the physical powers of that choice mortal
being too severely taxed by the weight to
allow him to carry it himself. But sup-
pose the dude can neither afford a valet nor
suck his cane; what will poor (Indie do then,
poor thiugl—Brooklyn Eagle “Rambler.”
Small Boy at School.
There is a. greater bore in this world than
a man who has just fallen in love, and that
is a small child who has lately entered a. new
class at school. “My teacher” seems to have
said something on every topic that. can be
imagined, and he has no idea of keeping her
wisdom to himself, but repeats it to every-
body ai; all hours. He even rises earlier,
“because my teacher. said the other day
when a fellow was late that a boy who could
not get. up early would never make a I great
man,” and he goes to bed without a murmur
because “my teacher says that sleep is ne-
cessary to make us grow.” And in a month
he will call her “old Ma’am Smith,” because
he will have found out that she, like all his
other teachers, insists that he shall learn,
whereas he knows that ho was sent to school
to have fair—Boston Transcript.

DEMOCRATIC FAVORITISM.
Southern Sugar Protected, Northern “'ool
on the Free List;
Wool is a product of nearly all parts of the
Union, and a moment’s thought. will con-
vince any one that if protection is beneficial
it could not be applied to any industry which
would distribute its profits more widely than
would be done by a wool tariff.
The entire area devoted to sugar produc
tion in this country is not as large as ten
Iowa townships, according to a statement
made by err-Governor Gear, of Iowa, in a
congressional debate last summer. In fifty
years the entire sugar production of the
United States has aggregated but $000,000,-
000, while in fifteen years the duties upon
that article have amounted to $700,000,000.
Ever-v consumer of refined sugar today pays
atributo of 2% cents a. pound to a sugar
trust. In view of these undisputed facts no
tariff reformer can consistently nssail the
Republican position, especially as the Mills
bill itself proposes a reduction of fifteen per
cent. in the sugar tariff.
The framers of the Mills bill well under-
stood that consistency required thein to make
a. heavy reduction in the sugar tariff, but
they found that this would reduce revenues
so greatly that wool could not then be made
free. So they determined to sacrifice the in-
terests of the whole people to the avarice of
southern sugar growers. That cowardly
evasion of duty was confessed by Congress-
man Breckinridge, of Kentucky, and has been
indorsed by the Democratic party. The peo-
ple will show their opinion of that transec-
tion by their votes in November.
THE LITTLE JOKER.
Mills Speaks Out in Meeting and Shows
His Hand.
If Grover Cleveland is reelected president
of the United States, as he will be (a voice:
“Ho will that”) ; if another Democratic house
of representatives is chosen, and if we can
get our Republican friends out of the other
end of the Capitol aud'get Democrats In place
of them, then we will pass a tariff bill that
puts raw materials all on the free list, and
then we will put our own intelligent and
skillful and productive labor in this country
upon a plane of equality with the laborers of
all other countries—Roger Q. Mills’ Speech
at East St. Louis, Ills., Sept. 25, 1888.
The sentiments uttered by Mr. Mills in this
respect are the true sentiments that domi—
nate the Democratic party under the leader-
ship of Mr. Cleveland. The laboring men of
this country are not prepared to boplaoed on
a plane of equality with the pauper labor of
Europe, and they will so declare in a most
unmistakable manner on the 6th of Novem-
ber. Every man who works for his daily
bread should read and ponder over the pros
poet before him should Cleveland and the
Democratic party under Mr. Mills’ leader-
ship secure the power they crave.
Mr. \Vattcrson on Connecticut.
After making a campaign through Con-
necticut, Mr. Wattsrson, who always takes a
rose colored view of the political situation
from a Democratic standpoint, says:
"I have ,spcnt this week in New England
trying to discover if there was anything in
that section of the country for Cleveland and
Thurman. lVe, have got a chance for Con-
necticut, a hard fighting chance, and that is
all.
“This is the size of it. The dodging of the
'same question ifi 1880 is why we were so com-
pletely ‘done up.’ Outside of the tariff ques-
tion in Connecticut, I found some soft spots
in the shape of local disaflection and factioual
bickerings among Democrats. These may be
hardened up or cured, but I don’t know.
The going out of the reliable Democratic
city of New Haven for a. collector of the port of
that harbor was a_mistake and will cost Presi-
dent Cleveland a hundred or more votes.
Then I find in Connecticut, as elsewhere, a
number of Democrats who are sore because
the administration does not turn the Repub-
lican partisans out: and place Democrats in
their positions. Now there is danger in the
air from this class of Democrats, for while
they will vote the ticket, they will not work
for it. and what; we most need in this cam-
paign is good, hard, earnest work. On the
whole, just at this time, I am inclined to the
opinion that if there is any advantage in the
political situation in Connecticut it is with.
the Republicans.”

Tho hopes of union printers concerning
The Mail and Express have at last been real-
ized. Dating from this day, the union scale
of prices and union regulations will obtain in
that office. and union men will be employed
therein.
The “associate editor” of the official organ
at Washington, and some of our own mem-
bers, ultra timid regarding the efficacy of po-
litical action in such matters, should receive
on receipt of this intelligence a rude but; fsal-
utary shock. , ’
The seed sown in 1884 has; brought forth
good fruit. Indianapolis has, following in
that line, reaped benefit in the most im-
portant office in its jurisdiction. This latest
admission of the benefit of well directed po-
litical action should be asatisfying answer to
doubters here and elsewhere.
To the efforts of the national Republican
committee the printers of New York are in-
debted for recognition from the best and
most influential evening journal in New
York.
The Union Printer congratulates Col. Shep-
ardjon the result, and ventures to exprem the
hope that the change will be to the advantage
in workmanship of the Mail and Express.-

Wanamaker is for Harrison.
The report having been circulated by Phila-
dolphin Democrats that John Wanamaker,
the great merchant, was a. quiet supporter of
Cleveland, a friend addressed him a note of
inquiry and received the following reply:
“Sir—In answer to your note, our friends
the enemy are hard pressed if they are driven
to making such misstatements that, can so
easily be refuted. ‘
“I am out and out for Harrison, and con-
tributing time and money to promote his
election.
“I do it not us politics but; as business, as
it is necessary to elect Harrison for the busi-
ness prosperity of the country. Yours truly,
”JOHN WANAMAKER.”
“N of. politics but business” is the gist of
the matter with an army of Harrison sup-
porters whose political alliliutious have not
always been with the Republicans. It is
“business” which is giving the Democratic
campaigners such an up hill fight.

Henry Watterson is on the top. Hobos
the car of Grover Cleveland as much as any

IS THE TARIFF A TAX?
A SImple and Familiar Free Tradp Argu-
ment Summon-11y Disposed Of.
A simple free trade argument is made by
adding the duty on a foreign article to the
cost of producing a similar domestic article
and asserting that this is the price of. the lat-
ter, ‘and that therefore the duty is so much
a tax on the consumer of the domestic pro-
duct. The difllculty with the argument is
one that it can never recover from. It is a
simple, bold, intentional untruth. The
tariff duty is not added to the price of
the domestic article. It is not paid. by
the consumer. On the contrary, by build-
ing up factories, stimulating enterprise and
reducing competition, prices are lowered by
the turifl. Here are some illustrations of . the
fact that protected goods grow cheaper. Be-
fore there was a protective tariff on salt: it
sold for 40 cents a bushel; it is now 5e ling
for 8 cents a bushel. In 1867 the price of a
ton of steel rails was 8166; now steel rails an:
be bought for from $28 to $30 a. ton. In 1875
plate glass sold for 98 cents a foot, and now
it sells for 33 cents. When the country had
a low tariff pig iron sold for about $31 a. ton;
now the price is $18. Pottery has gone down
one-half. We use a good deal of soda ash in this
country for making glass and for bleaching.
In 1884, when we imported it, P

American blankets of the same weight, if
the free trade theory is correct, should cost
the consumer $9.35, but the trouble is that
they do not, for a pair of American blankets
weighing five pounds can be bought for $5. 20.
It is not: even true that; the consumer pays
the duty on foreign goods that he purchases.
A large part of that is paid by the foreign
producer in order that his goods may com-
pete with the American product. What the
foreigner wants is the rich and generous
market of this country, and that is precisely
what our protective tariff has given to the
American manufacturer and workingman.—g
New York Mail and Express.
A Democratic Nail.
If there is one thing more unsatisfactory
than another to New York city Democratic
managers it is an intimation that balich loci
frauds are to be detected and punished, and
if there has been one bowl in this campaign
more distressing than another it is that made
by the Democratic National committee over
chairman Quay‘s big offers for rewards for
the detect-ion of such frauds. Tho offers
came suddenly last week, and the Democrats
have not got over denouncing them yet.
They consider them as a reflection on their
method of doing business, a. threat that New
York Democrats are not accustomed to, and
altogether an interference with one of the
inalienable rights of the New York Dem-
ocracy to count up enough votes in the city
to overcome the great Republican verdict
which comes sweeping down to the Harlem
from the manufacturing and farming com-
munities in the state.
Four years ago there was no such interfer-
ence. The state voted strongly for Blaine,
but the city could be manipulated to make
enough votes to defeat him, and Mr. Blaine
was actually defeated by sharp work below
Fourteenth street and in the surrounding
suburbs. Out in Long Island City, it will be
remembered, Ben Butler votes were dumped
in for Grover Cleveland bodily, and in some
city districts they went the someway. It
unfortunately did not take many such trans-
fers or more direct ones to turn the scale,
and Blaine was defeated. This year, in spite
of Democratic dislike, votes against Mr. Har-
rison will not be counted that way. If the
Republican committee can manage it there
will be afair vote in New York city, and
either Republicans or Democrats violating
election laws punished to the full extent of
the penalty.
Not the Surplus but Lower Wages.
In discussing the new tariff bill Senator
Vance of North Carolina advanced the
idea that it “took nine dollhrs from the
government for every one dollar that it took
from the manufacturer,” and was therefore
not in the interest of the people.‘ This is the
ground constantly taken by southern free
traders, and the reason for it was shown in
Senator Morgan's speech upon the Morrison
horizontal reduction bill in 1885.
Senator Mor ,‘ speaking as a representa-
tivo of the Ala ' a planterg, opposed a pol-
icy which would foster manufactures: and
make wages high at Birmingham and' other
places in his state, because it would result in
causing the underpaid, half starved negro
labor of the plantations to seek more remu-
nerative employment in the factories.
This was the hidden motive of Senator
Vance, although he was less candid in his re-
marks than Was the senator from Alabama.
It is the policy of southern Democrats to
keep the working man as near to the slave’s
condition as, may be, and that is why they
hate protection and high wages so bitterly.
It is not the surplus, but wages, that they de-
sire to diminish—Albany Journal.
Free Trade or Nothing.
So long as Col. HenryWatterson goes
around the country making speeches for
Grover Cleveland and the Mills bill, voters
should keep in mind these choice extracts
from his editorials in The Louisville Courier-
Journal:
“We'demand tariff reform and we set; our.
faces in the direction of free trade.”
“The Democrat who is nota free trader
should go elsewhere.”
“The conflict between free trade and pro-
tection is irrepressible and must be fought
outto the bitter end. We spit upon com-
promisesand propose neitherto ask nor to
give quarter.”
“The Democratic party, except in the per-
son of imbeciles hardly worth mentioning,
is not upon the fence. It is a free trade
party or it is nothing.” '
“There can be no cooked up platform and
no compromise candidate.”
“The black flag is up. No quarter will be
asked arid no quarter will be given.”
One fact_which the free traders carefully
suppress (says The Chronicle, of Sun From-
cisco) is that railroad charges for transporta-
tion are lower in this country than in Europe,
and much lower than in free trade England.
They try to make the farmer believe that he
has to pay inordinately high rates for having
his hauling done, because there is a tariff on
steel rails, but they keep out of sight the im-
portant fact above referred to. We do not
claim that the low transportation rates are
entirely due to protection, but we do insist
that had we not endeavored to systematically
develop our resources in every possible field
of industry charges of railroads for hauling
goods and carrying passengers must neces-
sarily have been much higher than at pres-‘
cut, for the simple reason that the trauspor-',
tation business cannot be done as cheaply on
a. small as on a large smile.
