COME.
Come, Love, come, the bunny boa
0n the blue seas lies afloat. .
With her red flag flying steady
And her white wings spread already;
Come. the waves are whispering low
In the music that we know,
And the wooing western breeze
Whispers o'er the sunny seas,
Mocking lingering doubts delay;
Youth and gladncsn come away,
leave the cares of earth behind,
Trust the waves and trust the wind.
Como. Love, come, lays hope and youth
In the glow of passionate truth;
What have we with fear to do,
We. life's own triumphant two!
Age and prudence whisper warning
In the glory of the morning,
Shall not noon be glad and gay.
Evening sweeter than the day?
Love will make and smooth the path,
Come and face the world In faith;
What shall each fair venture find!
Ask the waves and ask the wind.

THE AVENGIN G FINGER.
"A devilish night!" cried Master Yvon.
skillfully bringing his boat to anchor; “n‘ot
even a sardine for my pains! But the wind,
and the fishing, too, will be so much the bet-
ter tomorrow!” . -
And Yvon was right in his estimate of the
weather, for the roaring blasts that swept
the sea at the moment; flinging it upon the
sends in spray and heaps of foam that buried
themselves with furious howlings in the si-
lent und somber streets of the village, would
all be gone by morning.
The boat at anchor, the fisherman drew
from tho bottom-of‘it‘tho-huge flamen-
f'now absolutely empty. tin-ow them upon his
back, remounted the strand,-a.nd turned his
steps toward his distant dwelling. A rough
sailor, this master Yvon, tall, broad shoul-
dered and tanned to the color of an orange
by the salty winds, who never sulked at
work, and whom they saw (when others,
frightened by the tempests, remained in the
village), smiling and indifierent, make ready
his boat unaided and put to sea.
This evening even, despite the counsels of
his companions and the supplications of his
wife, he had cmbnrkodus usual, not to return
till morning, but decidedly the weather was
too heavy—tho harvest did not come, and,
ms foil he had put about, and by 12 o’clock
was safe in port again. One thought alone
consoled him for his bad fortune—ho was go-
ing to surprise his Catherine, his dear trens~
hrs, and to pass beside her the hours of work
that the ocean refused to allow him to take
from it. Ah, well, happiness gave him pa-
tience, and to-morrow, aftcrn night like this,
the game would be hungry—the fishing mar-
velousi
He loved his wife so much, this bravo
Yvon, she whom he had seen play when a
little one before the shop of her father, the
wheelwright. They had pamed these joyous
moments together, participating in the some
plays, in the same stream of sunlight enter-
ing between the wheels of the chariots un-
dergoing repairs and mingling their cries
and shouts of laughter with the sonorous
strokes of the hammers. Then Catherine
had grown up, and Yvon, who had com-
menced to pass his days upon the sen, no
longer dared to talk with her as of old;
Nevertheless, on Sundays,»when-nll the coun-
try side climbed tho coast to the little chapel
at Morlach, he followed from afar the move-
ments of the village swalus about this bean-
tiful girl, his jealous eye resting always upon
one above all others.
This one was the handsome Dominique, the
assistant of the wheeiwright. Catherine’s
father. Invariably clothed in a fresh blouse,
clean and well fitting, his hair brushed
smoothly and scented with pomade, and a
flower nodding in his buttonholc, be true
versed the Place do In Marche with the air of
a conqueror, addressing himself with smiles
and condescending nods to the wives and
girls of the village, and to which they as
utfably responded. 0n fete days, when he
appeared at the ball that closed the exercises
of the occasion, all eyes were turned upon
him again, while they awaited with evident
anxiety his selection of a partner for the
evening.
But Dominique in nowlse hurried himself,
but made the tour of the hall, examined them
tranquilly, and then cast his choice on the
most beautiful Frequently it seemed to the
lockers on at this game of vanity that he lost
his time when he stopped before the daugh-
ter of the wheclwrlght. for Catherine mani-
fested for the workman of her father an in-
difference bordering upon aversion. The
women chaficd her about it, accused her of
being proud, and declared that the handsome
Dominique was spoiled for her eyes by u.
frightful disfigurement that he carried upon
hlslcft hand—n dl , cment that he had
received when workg‘rg from the hammer: of
a comrade. The‘mlddle finger of the hand
hung usclcm and tumefied, the flesh shriveled
from the bone, bluish and hideous. -
Antimepumodon, nndunder the spur of
Dominique’s gnlinntries, Yvon regained his
courage, and one beautiful morning made
his demand upon Father Francois for the
band of his daughter. He was steady, hon-
est, full of order for work, and loved her
dearly. The old man consented, moved, per-
haps, by the avownl that Catherine had made
to' himof her preference for the fisherman.
As for Dominique, from the moment of the
public betrothment he adopted to see the
young girl no more and W himself in retire-
ment. . . -
Ah, but the wedding was truly beautiful;
Father Francois wished. to .do everything
well; a half down violins and horn: were
hired for the occasion, and-the supper was
the astonishment of the villhg‘e. .It was two
years now that Catherine: lied been called

“Poor Catherine!" he added immediately,

Yvon’s eyes fell upon him—drew his wife
into his armsnud pressed upon her lips u. kiss
of adieu. That man—c thousand devils!—
that man was Dominique!
Under this blow of fate the colossus stag-
gered like a. beef under the butcher’s ham-
mer; he supported himself against the win-
dow frame, his legs trembling, his hands
convulsively tearing at the scarf that
seemed to stop his breathing. And thus,
while-he exposed his life to‘ win the bread for
the household, his wife whom he had adored
like u. madman—his wife-profited by his
, absence to treacherousiy deceive him! The
shock was too much—the strong man began
, to cry, and many. things that had passed un-
noticed by tho confiding husband returned to
mind totorturo him. Parbleu! but it had gone
on alon time, this pretended hate for the
wheelwr ght’s workman—this pretended hate
that was to turn suspicion. And those marks
of passionate love givento him, the husband!
Lies again—vile hypocrisies to capture his
confidence! Bah, the miserable guilty wretch
whom he had loved so much!
The noise of the door closing softly and a
shadow moving away roused the fisherman
frcmhiatrance of agony—luau instant he
. was W—Q whirlwind of fury surged
:into Militias—blood :blindcd him! With a

faction with himaelf, and who followed, care-
lualy whistling a tune. with his hands in his
pocket, .a “now thwey cnfrnmcd be-

denly two powerful hands closed upon his
neck, clutching it with a. grasp‘of iron. Dom-
inique gaap'ed,wavc'rcd, bent to his knees-
nudlay without a. moan! ’
Twenty minutes later Yvon returned tothe
strand, moving in the direction of his boat.
He still carried - upon his shoulders a fishing
sack, but so heavily loaded this time that he
walked with difficulty, and every instant
slipped upon the pebbles, round and polished.
Arrived at last at his bark, he threw down

lapping under the keel of the little vessel.
The fisherman seated himself in his accus-
tomed place, propped his feet upon the sack
in the bottom, drew out his pipe and began to
smoke. To smoke—aye—but not for long—a
half ,hour, not more. When the movement
of the boat and the wash of the waves told
him the hour had come, he drew up his
anchor, cast 0!! his line and the vessel, obedi-
cnt to the cars vigorously handled, drew
rapidly away.
The tempest had lulled considerably; [in
the harbor the water was nearly tranquil,
but the harbor was evidently not far enough
for the sailor’s purposes; he hoisted the sail
and stood for the open sea. An hour perhaps
he sailed thus in the midst of the shadows,
but he stopped at last, and at the moment
the moon broke from the clouds that veiled
it and spread upon the water a train of
silver. '
“It; will do, " he murmured, considering it
carefully. “’tis far enough!" and he drew
from his pocketu. broad bladed clasp knife
carried by men of his calling, knelt upon the
sack before him and delivered himself ton
mysterious work that filled him, judging by
the smile upon his lips, with satisfaction.
This work accomplished, the sack’w'us loaded
with stones from the pile of ballast and cast
into the depths of the sea, the fisherman
lighted his- pipe ancw,throw,out his lines
baited as they had been in the beginning of
the evening and began to fish.
gNot until broad daylight, later than his
usual hour, did he withdraw them again and
start on the homoward journey. Catherine
-—he saw her from afar—waited for him
upon the deserted beach' with every sign of
profound disquietude, the way of wives in
gerieral, and faithless wives in particular.
In a transport of dissimuintion and tender-
. has she throw-herselfupo'n the breast of ' her“
husband.
“Mon Dieul” she cried, “but thou art into.
I knew not what to think of it, and the hor-
rible tempest that has raged since thy de-
parture! I do not wish thee to go out in
weather like this again! How I have prayed
to Our Lady!"
“Frayed to Our Ludy, and for moi" Yvon
responded with a. singular smile; “ah well,
thou secst thy prayer is granted—I have re-
turned, and the fishing was excellent. But
come, I have yet to disembarrnss my lines—-
they are loaded Thou shalt help me at the
task. Begin!" .
Had Catherine been looking at her husband
as he spoke, the cold and cruel expression of
his face, the relentless tightening of his lips,
would have made her heart die within her,
but she saw and suspected nothing in her
eagerness to measure the harvest the tempest
had brought them. Bonnets, dresses, frill
fralls, and the thousand and one nothings
dear to a. woman's soul were bound up in the
those scaly treasures. Accustomed to assist-
ing her husband, she worked rapidly and
well; the pile of fish upon the gravel beside
her steadily increased in proportions.
All at once she stopwdas if stung by an
adder, her eyes, wild and staring, fixed upon
a hook that she held in her hand. the only
one in fact upon which the fish had left the
bait untested. She lifted herself with a
bound, and with hoarse and strangled cries
pginted to the object swinging at the end
0 it.
“What!” said Yvon, who had watched her
closely, “thou dost not like it, that dainty
bait with which I fed my fishes? Regard it,
again, my precious treasure; regard it again,
I beseech thee; nay, more than that, I com-
mand thee, thou who hast spent the night in
praying to Our Lady!”
Alas, poor Catherine! the command was
useless. White as a winding sheet, an image
of object shame and fear, she stood with her
eyes bent always on the end of the line,
where, bound securely upon the pointed
hook, swung n ghastly bleeding fragment, u.
mangled, tumefied human finger, the flesh
shriveled and shrinking from the bone and
bluish and hideous! For an instant she stood
as I tell you, staring down at it, unable to
credit the evidence of her own senses.
“Dost thou know it?” said Yvon again,
with a. cynical smile.
Did she know it? His voice broke the spell
that bound her—~she threw up her hands to
ward off the accusing sight, staggered a step
or two, and fell insensible.—Translated from
the French of Louis Daresnc for the New
York Mercury by E. C. Waggoner.
THE’_ LONDON ’BUS.
Space Allowance for Each Passenger—Reg-
ulations—Tho Driver.
Omnibus service in London in excellent, .
and although the rate of fare is ridiculously
low, the London General Omnibus company,
which controls most of the omnibuses in
London, last year declared a dividend of 10
per cent. Some omnibuses have three horses
abreast, and are licensed to carry forty-two
passenger's—otwenty inside and twenty-two
outside. It is part of a policemnn’s duty
to watch omnibuses and see that they do not
carry more than the licensed number, and
they perform this duty with considerable
zeal. Each passenger is allowed sixteen
inches of space, and as a rule every Londoner
will insist on his sixteen inches.
The rate of omnibus fare is something like
a penny (two cents) a mile on some lines and
less than that on others. You can ride from
the Albert memorial in Hyde Park, east-
ward, to Regent Circus, nearly two miles,
for two cents, but there is also a halfpenny
’bus. From Charing Cross to and - over
Westminster bridge, you can ride for one
cent, in fact that sum is the only fare charged,
on this line. The vehicle carries just ten
passengers, so that the company receives ten
cents for each trip. The ’buses start full
from each terminus and seldom pick up pas-
sengers on the way.
Omnibus drivers receive $10.50 a week——
excellent wages for men of their class. It
has often been said that the best way to see
London—its streets, buildings and its people,
from an outdoor point of view, is to get on
the top of an omnibus. Omnibus drivers are
a good natured, jolly set of follows, and by
no means do they lack intelligence. They
see a very great deal of human nature from
their elevated position in life, and they learn
much. If you get on a box seat, next to the
driver. and you desire information or enter-
tainment on the way, you” will find the driver
very willing to accommodate you, but polite
. as he is you nwd not fear that you offer an
insult if you ofler a “tip ;” in fact he expects
it. He augments his salary to a fair extent
in this way. He saves choice seats for the
regular riders, and they “remember” him
occasionally—Cor. Home Journal.
Actor Warren’s Dignlfied Humility.
During a talk held, a year or two ago, with
the delightful veteran actor who has just left
us, William Warren, of Boston, he told me a
story of himself that seemed to me a finer
piece of dignified humility than anything he
had ever enacted on the boards. After the
death of a well known Bostonian, some years
since, Mr. Warren, who had been one of his
friends, was invited to be a pal! bearer at the
funeral. "On going to the place appointed,"
he said, “I learned for the first time that my
companion in the funeral procession was to
be Mr. Robert C. Winthrop. I went at once
to the gentleman who had charge of the ar-
rangements, and said to him decisively, 'This
must not be! The thing is utterly inappro-
priate. Mr. Winthrop is an historic charac-
ter; he bears an historicname, and has added
dignity to it by his own career. I am a
strolling actor; the Boston public is accus-
tomed to seeing me in all manner of groMquo
costumes and ludicrous positions. I should
be wholly out of place beside Mr. Winthrop
on an occasion like this, and every one who
looked on us would feel it as I do.’ Accord-
ingly, the arrangement was completed."
When I asked “Did Mr. Winthrop ever know
about this circumstances?” he said, thought-
fully, “I cannot say, but I suspect that he
did. The next time we met in the street, he
raised his hat to me with great courtesy, al-
though we were not previously acquainted,
and we met, with the some greeting, several
times afterward."
I am for from thinking that this piece of
generous self humiliation was needed, but
Whether it was or not, how fine the situation,
how almost Shakespearian the recognition of
a subtle human propriety! Who does not
like to think of these two men of similar
years and dissimilar lives, both such chI'
known figures on the streets of Boston. and
Mug each other from day to day with this, .
silent and dignified greeting, as expressive as
the ceremonlous snuff box of colonial times.
Yet surely there is something curious and.
almost undesirable in a profession which can
suggest to one of its most honored ornaments
such self depreciation as this; A blacksmith,
n. shoemaker, would have had no such feel-
ing, but would have walked side by side with
the most eminent citizen without any thought
of incongruity, so strong is the force of re-
publican institutions. Can it be that. as an
actor once pointed out to me, men of his vo-
cation very rarely vote, and so feel them-
selves no part of the political community!—

Exceptjiy Personal Experience.
It is all very well for the papers to discuss
the question, “Is Marriage n Failure?" It
nmuses their readers and adds to their sale.
But there is not a woman in America who
will be convinced either one way or the other
except by personal experience. Nor a man
either. —Fort Worth ('l‘ex.) Gazette.

"Eny, J immy, that bloke goiu’ yonder gin
me a dime an‘ I’m agoin‘ tcr git a solid,
square men ."
The speaker was a bootblack. His com-
panion, of the same class, regarded him on-
viously.
A reporter followed the lad into a West
Madison street “ten cent eating house” in
order to learn how much- of a square men]
one can get for a dime. It was about 11
o'clock in the morning and a dozen or more
men were seated at the tables. When a tall
and robust blondc damsel approached the lad
for his order he said, in authoritative tones:
“Let it be beef an’ plenty with, Kitty.”
In a very short time the waitress returned,
bringing a large bowl of vegetable soup, a
plate of beef, potatoes, a large bowl of coffee
and some pudding. On each table stood a
heaping plate of bread, pickles of two kinds
and a. dish of butter. While the bootblack
was vigorously attacking the vinnds before
him the reporter engaged the proprietor in
conversation.
“What classes of men frequent your
place!”
“0h, all classes; small merchants, clerks,
mechanics, dock laborers, tramps and ped-
dlers. I feed an average of 700 a day. This
is the first of the month and business is not
as g9’0d the first fivo weeks as" it is the last
two. . ‘
“How do you explain this?"
“That’s easy enough. Lots of fellows are
paid of! the first of the month. They have
plenty of ‘stuil’ then, and are too stuck up to
come into or house of this kind; but later they
are glad to get the meals I furnish."
”You charge but 10 cents for any meal?"
“That is all. This entities in man tobut one
kind of meat, though. - If they want-two
kinds' they must pay five cents extra.”
“But can you afford to give a hearty man
all he can eat for so small a sum?"
“I‘ve never heard any complaints. They
have all the bread they want. Cast: your eye
around and see if you don’t think enough is
brought every one."
“It must demand fairly rigid economy to
make money in this business," said the re
porter.
“It does, but I come out ahead. I don’t
give my customers napkins or tablecloths;
there’s a saving. I don’t buy the best porter-
houso steaks, but the food is solid. The way I
come out ahead is by keeping expenses down
and by feeding such large numbers of peo-
1e.”
p “Do you make any discount where one buys
meal tickets!"
“Certainly; I sell twenty-one tickets for
$1.90. A good many of my customers take a
5 cent lunch for both breakfast and sup-
-per. In that way they get through a mouth
for about 85.80.”
“What is a 5 cent lunch?”
“A bowl of coffee and all the bread and
butter one wants to eat."
Presently the bootbluck ended his repeat
and walked up to the counter with the air of
a. society manafter a choice dinner at his
club. He paid his score with the remark:
“Look fur mo ngin, Dickie; yer bill or
fare’s improvin’.”
Having seen the inside of one of these
places the reporter proceeded to make the
round of adozen or more on the west; and
south sides -On Desplaines street, is a 10
cent house which furnished bread as white
and apparently as clean and sweet as could
bofound anywhere. To a query of the ‘re-
porter the proprietor said:
“I have been feeding some eight hundred or
day, mostly working people.”
The reporter observed white and colored
people at the same table. “Colored people
and Chinamen have to be fed as wellas white
people; I don’t see any difference in their
money,” the proprietor added.
At the place were several newsboys and
bootblacks. Their uniform order was a cup
of coffee with a. roll and butter.
In at Clark street eating house a steady tide
was pouring in and-out. At this place the
majority were anything but workingmeu.

faces, and in their bloated hands,in their

“That there won’t do," said the keeper to a

What do the enemies of American in-

for British manufactures and underpaid
labor, tell us plainly. England wants to
got control of the American market so no
to crush competing Industries hero and ob-
tain a ready sale for the products of its
cheaper labor. Mr. Cleveland is her can-
didate, because ho is a free trade presi-
dent.
As London Punch correctly represents
him in its cartoon, “he’s English, you know.”
Let every American workingman whose
chances for goodwagfi 31nd employment dc-
peud upon the protectivctnriif work and vote
against the man Englaod wants. _
To convert the Unit?“ States is indeeda

set up a special shrine for the wornhipof
Preeidént Cleveland, and send him all its
nbllcations gratis. Cobdcn founded free
ads: Cleveland saved it. Such lathe bur-
den of the song all through England today.
The Cobdeu club isaulilngliah organimtion
- whichfor twenty-twoyunl‘s hasbeen fighting
the battle of the British manufacturers at
home and abroad. It is a free trade society.
Among the American members of that so-
ciety are many of the leaders of the Demo-
cratic party, the following included:
Thomas F. Bayard, secretary of state in
President Cleveland’s cabinet.‘ 7
Charles S. Fairchild, secretary of the
treasury in President Cleveland’s cabinet.
William C. Endicott, secretary of war in
President Cleveland’s cabinet.
L. Q. C. Lamar, formerly in President
Cleveland’s cabinet and now associate justice
of the United States supreme court.
John G. Curlislc, speaker of the house of
representatives and the president’s, intimate
political adviser. ,
W.-R. Morrison, author of the horizontal
reduction tariff bill. _
Henry Wetter-son. chairman of the com-
mittee on platform of the nationachmo-
erotic convention.
On July 16, 1880, The London Times said:
“It is to the new world that the Cobdien club
is chiefly looking as the most likely sphere
for its vigorous foreign policy. It has done
what it can in Europe. and it is now turning
its eyes westward and bracing itself for the
struggle which is to come. It cannot not
while the United States are umbduod."
And it added: “We hope Mr. Augustus
Mongrcdicn’s excellent volumes and the other
publications of the club will-between them
carry the Unitcdstntesbystormandthrust
reason into all minds, whether wining or
unwilling to admit it." What free trade
will come some day in the United States it is
perfectly safe to assert, but how and when,
and other minutlm of the kind must be left
to the Cobdcn club and to its twelve coir
inet waters, in their unofiicial capacity to
decide.”
The Cobden club was defeated in 1880 in
tions, but it has ever since. with the armist-
ance of the New York Free Trade club, con-
tinued to devote its attention to influencing
public opinion in the United States in favor
of British free trade, and the eventual selec-
tion of congremen who would vote to es-
tablish this policy in our country. The
greatest encouragement it has ever received,
however, has come from the extraordinary
and wholly unexpected annual message of
the pl'efilflwia of the United States, submitted
at the opening of the first sealer: of the Fif-
tleth congress in December, 1887.

That is to say, this same ihvn pays 12!! per
cent. more for their work in this country
than they do in Scotland The Democrats
will tell you that this is due to the superior
American machinery. But is it supposablc
that practical busincm men like the Messrs.
Coats would use inferior machinery inScot-
land when they could have the best by simply
sending to the American branch for it? Not
at all. When improvemenmare made in any
branch of manufacturing in one country
they are immediately adopted by their com-
petitors in other countries. Any number of
illustrations of this.could be cited, but one is
suflclent. During the war we became
very proficient in the manufacture of
mail arms, and our machinery for
making them was the best in the world.
The result was for some years after the
war we sold large quantities of small arms
to Turkey and other foreign countries. But
very soon European makers copied our
machinery improvements, and, with their
cheaper labor, they are now underselling us
in the markets of the world.
The only reason why the Messrs. Coats pay
120 per cent. more for labor in this country
than in Scotland is the high protective tariff,
which prevents the product of their cheap
Scotch labor from flooding the American
market. Let Cleveland’s free trade policy
be carried into effect, and'thc protective
duty removed, Moms. Coats would say to
their American operatives you must work
for about what We pay in Scotland or we
will shut up our Pawtucket works and sup-
ply this market from our cheaper manned
nialey works. That is the course every
American manufacturer would be obliged
to takc.——Bnifalo Commercial Advertiser.

President Cleveland's Free Trade Message.
In his message the President denounces our
present tariff laws as a “vicious, inequitable
and illogical source of unnecessary taxation,"
although they have made us in the lust
twenty-five years the moat prosperous people
that the world has ever known.
The Iondon Post says: “We shall be much
. mistaken if the effectiof the state communi-
cation will not be to strengthen considerably
thccnuaeof free traderainailparts of the.
world. It will be regarded ass step, in the
'right direction by all who believe in the
soundness of free trade principles."
.The London Standard says: “When the in-
evitable consequences of adherence to a pro-
tectionist tarifl are not forth byn mania
Mr. Cleveland’s position in the language
which he has need, free trade becomes at
once a living issue. at f ‘ * Mr. Clove-
iand demands, in ofiectgvthnt there shall be a
tariff for revenue purposes only. No tinker-
ing with the tariff will euflice; no rchust—
rncnt of duties will do. The only reform
»thatcommon sonic can acceptisonowhlch
unuifectedly substitutes the principle of un-
impeded importa for that of tar!!! regula-
tions.” -
. The London Globe says: “The president,
it is true, does not call his new departure by
that ugly name; on the contrary, he waxes
indignant at the supposition that he has
come over tofree trade. Butte American
cars the whole message must be redolent of
Cobdoniam in a slightly modified form. * o
This remarkable utterance will be certain to
exercise an absolutely, paramoumt influence on
the next presidential election. Party names
and party ties are thrown into hotch-potch.
The governing lane at the contest will lie
between protection and free. trade."
The London Daily News says: “The real.
dent's memage is expected to make 3 rs-
form the principnl question in the presidential
campaign, and there is certainly none upon
which the American people have stronger
reasons for making up their minds.
The English papers continue to devote
much to what they call ”Mr. Cleve-
land’s declaration in favor of free tr'ade.”
From the average English comment the
public has been led to believe that free trade is
now as good as adopted in the United Statés.
ltls considered (in England) that free trade
(in America) is just what 18 needed to revive
drooping English industries.
Mr. Cleveland’s message was received in
England with an expression of joy. The
one thing for which England hangers and
thirsts is free sdmimion of British manu-
factures to American markets. I have never
met an Englishman who doubted that if the
United States would but adopt free trade,
British fabrics would speedily drive Ameri-
can fabrics out of American markets. “Your
employers,” said a great English employer,
“dare not reduce wages to our level. How
canthey compete with us if they do not!"
There is the w ole question. .
Itis undeniable that there is one nation
that would hall with delight the advent of
free trade among us, and that nation is Eng-
land. There is also a class of individuals of
nosmallp can (not all of whom are
citizens) who would be pecuniarily benefited
in such an event, and they are the English
and Anglo American importers, and their
Mecca is New York city. It is a national
humiliation that British gold contributed so
liberally in the last campaign to the clever
tion to power of the present administration.
One of the most distinguished statesmen of
England, now a member of the British par-
liament, recently said that “the only benefit
the Irish had ever conferred upon England
was that they continued to emigrate to
America and always voted en masse, like so
many cattle, for the candidates of the Demo-
cratic party." The same sentiment has ac-
cently been reiterated by The London Times.

The three greatest achievements for the
welfare of this nation since it was formed
were the work of the northern states.
The north destroyed slavery!
The north preserved the Union!
The north supported and maintained the
policy of protection!
The three greatest wrongs , the
nation over committed in this land since the
close of the revolutionary war were encour-
aged and sustained by the south.
Nullificatiou, for which the south was
ready to fight.
ISlavcry, for which it fought.
Secealon, which cost it its slaves.
In the constitution of the Confederate
states was this direct assault upon protection:
“Nor shall any duties or taxes on importa-
tions from foreign nations be laid to promote
or foster any branch of industry."
The question in this campaign now is
whether the policy of the north, which has
done so much for the life, the prosperity and
the Welfare of this nation, shall prevail, or
whether the south, which has been defeated,

England's Choice.
The following extract is taken from a letter
written by the representative of Fairbanks &
Co., the scale manufacturers, who is now in
London. The letter was addressed to Norman
L. Bees, of New York:
“LONDON, Sept. 2l.—You mention the
question of free trade. You can hardly
imagéa: the eagerness of the English, German
and gium manufacturers for free trade in
the United States.
“They say that they can flood America in
six‘months with many of their products.

such an event, for Americswiil not Adopt the
Democratic cry of free trade today. Our
merchants and manufacturers are not ready
to commit suicide.”
Method- of Free Traders.
The following figures show the methods of
the Democratic free traders who control the
practices of Mr. Cleveland’s cabinet. They
relate tothe purchase of army blankets by
Secretary of War Endicott:
Bid for American blankets .................. $5,121
Bid for English blankets ..................... 4,504
The English low bid saved ................ $810
The English blankets were bought, and
prove to be much poorer than the American
sample. This is how an English administra-
tion of American affairs works in practice.—

THE RECORD.
Who Want Free Trade.
Who wants free trade! Only those who
want us for their customers, who would like
to sell us everything that we use. And why?
Because one American will buy more than
1,000, yes, 6,000 Asiatics. What does the
American purchase! Everything that civil-
ized man usesfior that civilized man can want.
England wants this market. Give her free
trade, and she will become the most power-
ful, the richest nation that ever had her
territories marked upon the map of the
world. And what do we become? Nobodies.
Poor. Inventim will be lost, our minds will
grow clumsy, the “Cndrous deft hand of the
mechanic paralysed—u great raw material
producing country—ignorant, poor, bar-
baric. I want the cotton that is raisedin
this ecuntry to be spun here, to be woven
into cloth. I want everything that we use to
be made by Americans. We can mskethc
cloth, we can raise the food tofeed nndto
clothe this nation, and the nation is now
only in its infancy. _‘ Somehow people do not
understand thisr They really thfnk we are
getting filled up. Look at the map of the
country. See the valley of the Mississippi.
Put your hand on it. Trace the rivers com-
ing from the Rocky mountains and the'Allo-
gbenies, and sweeping down to the gulf, and
know that in the valley of the Mississip i,
with its wondrous tributaries, there can v6
and there can be civilized and educated 500,-
000,000 of human beings.
It is the free trader’s argument that the
system of taxation upon imports is the foun-
dation and direct cause of all the trusts,
pools, combinations or monopolies that are
linbloto be established upon such articles,
which impose hardships upon the consumer.
This is as false as every other assertion and
theory which the free trader has yet ad
vanced. A single illustration will suffice,
In 1872. in obedience to a general demand
for the reduction of duties upon coffee. this
article was placed upon the free list. What
was the result? Brazil immediately placed
an export, duty upon it, eqpnl to the import
duty we had been paying, and ever since
that time we have been paying tribute to
Brazil instead of to our own government.
Have prices been lowered! Have combina-
tions been suppressed? Simply the reverse is
the case, as the constant violent fluctuations
purl higher pl‘lceS, caused by the more peck.
less ammonia in this important luxury, have
ever since demonstrated.
Protection to American industry should
not be regarded as a political party question,
nor be considered solely as a convenient
scheme for the collection offisummcnt revenue
to meet the current expenses of the govern-
ment; nor can it be comprehended within
such narrow party limits or party platform
as “a tarifi! for revenue only, with incidental
protection,” etc., for if it protects “incident-
ally” it should therefore be made to protect
generally. If it be “incidentally” advan-
Moons to the few it should be made prac-
tically beneficial to the many. It is, there-
fore, a measure which, properly adjusted
and practically applied, must promote all
interests, individual as well as governmental;
that must encourage all industries and pro-
tect all occupations from indiscriminate,
threatening, ruinous competition with the
sci-vile. pauper and convict labor of all other
countries.
Competition the Leveler.
Ifwe depend upon the foreign manufac-
turers will they not form trusts! We can
‘ depend on competition. What do the Demo-
crats want to do? They want to do away
with the tariff, so as to do away with the
surplus. If you put down the tariff a small
per cent. so that the foreign article comes to
America, instead of decreasing, you will in-
crease the surplus. Where you got a dollar
nbw you will got five then. If you want to

When The London Times can say that the
object of our protective policy is to maintain
a higher standard of comfort among our in.-
boring clusses than free trade England main-
tains for her working people, it ought not to
be difficult for an American working man to
decide whether the protectionism or the free
traders of this country are his friends.

Gentlemen—Seven years ago I contracted
*an exceedingly bad case of blood poison. I
tried a physician, the best at command, but
secured no benefit. My throat began to
get sore, and my body covered with sores
and ulcers. Going from bad to worse, I
felt that my grave must be reached in the
near future. I gave up the doctors' treat-
ment, and with a despairing hope I com-
mcuced taking your medicine. I began to
improve from the first bottle, and in a short
time the ulcers healed, and my skin cleared
off and was entirely well.
