11,1(1 was
hept up nninter-
till the election. Since then lias been comparatively little of [of it heard. •I'liose persons who were most eager thi'ir support of the McKinley bill,
I
..specially of its worst features. u'li as the increased duties on wool
,1
woolens, said that the effect of the |Vil would be to increase wages. The! working in industries which it alleged were poorly protected jret better pay, it was said. The l^niiir' "f

would, it was
teil. give employment at good pay a,,.men'who were idle then. Nii'h uctv the promises made. How |v,re tliev been kept? It has been IfMteil that the bnttonmakers in a few Ifaitnries have had their pay raised, but otliev protected manufactories, some i''ftht!in highly protected ones, there, have I),,en redactions of wages, strikes and
Kiknut.-."!", as in the ease of the Massachusetts print cloth manufactories, Ithcliaii'ls have been laid oft for a week torso because there was no market for Itheir product. The tendency of wages Ilia? been downward rather than upward since
llu: 1,111
passed.
The workingmen in the factories felt Ithat they were being lied to when they were told the McKinley bill would their wages, and they voted I urainst the men who tried to palm oil that stuff on them.
The farmers of Michigan, Ohio, Illi|m,is and other states east of the MisI M.uri were told that the higher duties Ion the imported mixing wools would in-
(Tia^e tlie demand for and the price of their tine wool. They are getting less
for
their clip than in July. 1881), and tho
I latest Huston report is: "There is no 1 increase in the demand for Michigan I extra fleece. Manufacturers are not I running on these wools, and will pay I more for Montana and Wyoming wool."
The demand for Australian wool lias toon active and the sales have been I large." This is not what Julius Cwsar I Harrows promised the wool growers of I Michigan last fall.
There wen lies told to other classes I of the voters by the men who forced through the McKinley bill, and those to whom tlie.v were told had the wit to see through them and the determination to
Ti'M'nt them. They did so last fall, Mr. Lincoln said once that it was impossible to cheat everybody at one time. Vet various individuals, being I moved and instigated by the mill bosses, tried it last year, and made such I a deplorable failure that they are not
I
likely to try it again. Indeed, their party will not give them a chance. Hut, while they did not succeed, they I proved most satisfactorily that the "liar in polities'' can bring overwhelming art I widespread deficit upon a great party which had elected its president two .years before, can deprive it of
K'ores of representatives, of senators, atyermirs and state legislatures, and Vial'ifin power a party which, but for 'iie in align a nt. efforts of the "liar in •Ktlitics." would not have had a hope of -iH'ees-.. Mr. Uepcw spoke well.—Clii-eai-'o Tribune.
ALLEGED EXTRAVAGANCE.
11! 11x 1!.L11.11 Whirli Will l'rovo I'.rarl v,'.
The democrats will have 1u with'Ir.r.v licit' diarires 01' e.\travalance, the late republican congress. 'Ilia! is about the only charge they .lave to make that is of any "ance. Tlie democratic leaders at the close of tlie conjjrress were making the I most reckless and even absurd statements of the expenditures. The state:uents or estimates made by the leading ilomocruts varied from 515,000 to §f)0,-
impor-
WXI.UMi. Hut now that the 8ta4"mient.s arc bcpmiiiij,' to be compiled from the appropriation bills themselves the actual record appears very different from the ridiculous partisan estimates.
For example, there are the deficiency appropriations, amounting to about ,000,000. That is to say, there is this amount to be charged to the Fiftyfirst congress which ought to be I charged to the preceding congress. ie lust democratic house ought to have appropriated that amount to pay 'or its bills. The democratic house, however, refused to appropriate enough money, and of course the republican
con(fress
had to make the appropriation
or else resort to the same cheap trick of thrusting an immense deficiency over I !o the next congress which meets regu'arlv next December.
Ihis trick of creating deficiencies is I old as well as a cheap trick. It in resortoil to for the purpose of creating
UUsc appearance of economy for one congress and'for thrusting on tho next congress the false appearance of ex'ravagariee. And the deficiency created ''.V the last democratic house is the wain item of the alleged republican cxI travagance. 'he democratic organs, for nnot.licr I J'ling. specify that the rivers and harws bill appropriates 83.000,000 more than in the preceding congress. That
J-'xcess is fully explained by tho •"nounts given for making a deep harbtpi* :it (ialveston and for rebuilding tovoes in the south—both of which purples n-ere advocated by the south and I ""Tied out by the aid of democratic
r"i|'K
in congress.
0^ course, there remains the pension ^islntinn—the dependent pension bill, ^hieh i,„s caused an increase of over »'-',ii00,0(U) in the pension appropriation. 'he democratic party is ready to make
a"'SMie
011 the repeal of the law which
tarries with it the increased appropriation the criticism will begin to ™ve some point. The people will bo

It is to le noted that tho democratic party in the lust congress did not dure to Jfo on record with tt caucus decreo against the dependent pension liill. On the contrary, thirty-six democrats in the house voted for the hill and forty

THE MAIL
SUBSIDY,
A Credit to tlio
Ki'piililieaim in the Lute
One of Hie best acts of tlu1 last
Americans. Hut such is the poverty of the present American merchant marine that its ships are nearly all of one of the four classes to which the mail subsidy can be paid, and that is the lowest class, embracing vessels of between 15,000 and 'Jo,000 Urns burden, having a speed of from 12 to 15 knots per hour. On these ships carrying United States mails mileage is to be paid at the rate of $2 for every three miles sailed. To ocean liners of the first, second and third classes the act provides for mileage at the rate of $4, $2 and SI per mile sailed, respectively. But as then? are very few liners of these classes in the present merchant be paid on these for the present. Tho friends of the bill hope and believe that the mileage promised such ships will impart the stimulus necessary for their construe-' tiQn.

The argument that the act provides for a bounty to a favored few is fully met when it is stated that there is uot a single ship that is to be paid a single dollar except as it carries the mails of the Tniteil States. It is true that the mileage is to be paid witlmut regard to the amount of mail matter carried, but that does not alter the fact that a public service is exacted before public money is paid. Last year the net profits of the government on its foreign mails was over $1,700,000. The country can well afford to pay liberally for the carrying of the mails, if thei'cby is helped tl:o development of a merchant marine that will be an honor to the country and a defense in time of need. It is this policy that has helped to give to Kngland her pre-eminence on the seas. lint, the American free traders, while they swallow whole the Cobdenism of the British statesmen, refuse to see any benefit in Kngland's steamship policy, winch the republican party intends to put to the test.—Iowa State Register.
PRESS COMMENTS.
'C^TTImtiks to the republican tariff law. there will be a permanent drop of two cents a pound in the price of sugar after April 1.—^Toledo lllade.
CSTThi! parly organ* that are howling about the large appropriations of the l"ifty-(irt congress should bear in mind thai one of sTG.tii.T.OOO \v to make good deiieieneies of tho 1'iftieth, or last democratic congress.— liloomington t'antagraph. t-T""i'he democrats seem to feel real
ov,,r
the extravagance of the Fifty-
lirst congress. They will continue the lamentation until after the next presidential election. The people might as well be prepared for the prolonged wail.--Sioux City .lournal.
C5¥"'t is a significant fact that every democratic legislature which has acted upon the re-apportionment question has adopted the gerrymandering process to such an extent as to deprive the republicans of their reasonable share of congressmen.—St. Louis Globe-Dem. £2?"Tlie democratic papers which have been pooh-poohing Brazilian reciprocity as of no importance to business, get the lie direct from New York drygoods men, who say that large orders are already coming in, based on the provisions of the new treaty.—Inter Ocean. ^"Although the democrats fought the subsidy shipping bill, they will bo claiming it as their own within a few months. They opposed the reciprocity amendment to the McKiulcy bill last .summer, but to hear them talk now one would imagine tl at they had framed it. —Albany .lournal.
E2T"lf it be true, as the democrats assert, that reciprocity is only another name for free trade, then why do they oppose it so strenuously? This is a little question of logic that is likely to give them ft great deal of trouble before they get through with it.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. t3$~A democrat announced in congress the other day that the next congress would pass everything that this congress has failed to pass. The declaration is probably true, as far as the democratic house in the next congress is concerned. It will pass everything that is bad. revolutionary and destructive.:—Chicago Journal.
ESTThe good old democratic freo trade times left relics for posterity. One of them lately found was a storo bill, which contained charges of 33 cents a yard for calico cloths apron checks (gingham), cents black cassimere, S3."i0 per yard brown sugar, five pounds for a dollar lamp oil, 50 cents a quart bottle tobacco, SI per plug. Wages were 75 cents a day, or only three-fourths enough to buy a plug of tobacco weighing a pound. Those who want these times back hero again should support the "tariff reformers.'*—Chicago Journal.

pose the law which really made the increased pension expense. The imputations of extravagance cannot be sustained as the democratic organs have started out to make them. The charges will react.—Sioux City Journal.
COTI-
ffross. ranking probably next to the McKinley tariff law, is the ocean mail subsidy act. It is greatly to the credit of the republican majority that they .succeeded in passing this important measure. Without paying out a single dollar except for services actually rendered the government, the I'nited States will have an opportunity to put tt) the test the system that has worked sueh wonders in advancing Knglish steamship interests. The aet has been promiscuously denounced by the democrats, but that, was to be expected. It is to be regretted that th« act cannot immediately demonstrate its usefulness. It applies only to ships constructed by American ship builders, of American materials and owned and manned by

It is oasy to sneer at people's eccentricities. We raay smile at the m?:i who persists in wearing a queer style of hat, or at the woman who clings to an old fashion in hair dressing. But in adhering- to a custom both agreeable and comfortable do they not show some independence of mind, a decision that helps to leaven the lump of general flabbiness?
Once a lady whose eyes were weak was obliged always to carry a sunshade to protect them from the pli.re of the sun. Kven in winter, and when she wore furs, the, sunshade was a necessity. .Slits declared, laughingly, that no one would believe, unless she tried jt, how much attention such a simple matter evoked. Sometimes she was followed a block or two by bovs commenting on her odd appearance*. They wondered if hhe was crazy, and while they wondered seemed to think she was also deal. older people, whom one would think might know better, gazed at her curiously, and even questioned her as to the reason of her peculiar, conduct.
Most .persons under such persecution would have given up the light, staid in the houe, or decided to bear the pain and run the danger. Ik ing a woman of resolute temper, she did nothing of the kind. She carried hermulV and her parasol all winter. Indeed, after a while she seemed to take a wicked pleasure in Haunting these articles before the faces of bewildered passers, who would often turn and look back with an expectation of seeing stranpe developments from so great a phenomenon. l'robably not many women would have stuck to the singularity as she did, or have gotten so much amusement out of it. Yet if it is considered in another
we might call her a public benefactor. —Harper's liazar.
