was

than at any time in its history. But it suited the purposes ot Democratic journals and campaign orators to represent the American people as impoverished and disheartened. The Chicago platform declared that the protective policy ''fosters no industry so much as it does that ot the Sheriff." The Demooratic Presidential candidate declared, in his formal speech of acceptance in Madison Square Garden, that the people were •'burdened ao consumers, by a tariff system that relentlessly and unjustly demand* from them in the purohase ot the necessaries and comforts of life an ammount scarcely met by the wages of hard and daily toil." The whole Democratic campaign WBB conducted on the assumption that the oountry was suffering from the evil effects of protection and thai Democratic success meant "better times" for everybody. The most reckless and extravagant promises were made to the people by Democratic spokesmen promises which it were absolutely impossible to fulfill and which those who made them never intended to be fulfilled. Thanks to the aotive assistance rendered by the ''People's Party" in the West, this gigantio confidence game succeeded. The structure ot deceit and falsehood on which it was founded has been crumbling away ever since.

Instead of prosperity, Democratic triumph has brought ruin to multitudes. It has enormously multiplied failures. It has brought about a suspension of credit that has checked legitimate business development in every line of activity. It has cast doubt upon the currency of the nation. It has restricted wages and increased the number of unemployed. It hue reduced the valnes of the securities in which the savings ot the Amerioan people are invested by more than a BILLION Dollars. Yet great as is the damage that has already been wrought, it is only the beginning of disaster it the Democratic platform of free trade and State currency is to be carried out. Free trade organs that were foremost in assuring the people that the election of Grover Cleveland would inaugurate an era of increased industrial production and enhanced prosperity for labor are being forced by the progress of events to admit that not only were the Democratic ante-election promises of immediate improvement in business and industry false, but even worse diBtresB than that existing at present is to be expected in the future. ANew York Democratic newspaper that is generally supposed to maintain close relatione with the Cleveland Administration urges the Democrats in Congress to repeal the Sherman act on the ground that its repeal will restore a measure of confidence that will enable the oountry to withstand the assault upon its industries which the Democracy is pledged to make. The Cleveland organ declares that "it is the history of tariff legisla tion that any radical changes in cus to ma duties visibly effect trade conditions and sometimes produce a period of industrial depression." It asserts that the result ot the repeal of the

Sherman act "would in effect constitute a balance against which the party might draw to cover any Ions of credit due to the necessarily protracicd and painful surgery to which it must resort in remnviwj the McKinley tumor."

There was no hint in the Democratic platform or th) deliverances of Democratic newspapers and orators last fall of "industrial depression" or "protracted and painful surgery" as a result of Mr. Cleveland's election. The Democratic party was then in search of votes. Its loaders were not ignorant of the disastrous effect which the enaotment of their party principles must inevitably produce. But they knew if they told the people the truth about free trade the Democracy could not carry a single Northern State on the Chicago platform, Now the truth can no longor be conoealed and the voters of the United States who have already paid a heavy penalty tor the restoration ot Democracy to power are coolly informed that they must look forward to still greater losses as soon as the tariff haters can get to work.

WALES WAS THE "DOCTOR."

Tit Amusing DUeov.ry Unintentionally Had* by a British Guardsman.

A lady occupying one of the leading positions iu London society and a member of the Marlborough house set, was on one occasion being called upon by a very popular and mirth-loving1 officer of ti Scots Guards, says a writer in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Suddenly the groom of the chambers entered and whispered something to Mrs. S. S. She Immediately turned to the guardsman and bade him adieu, explaining that her doctor had just called and that confidences with doctors were necessarily carried uu eutre quatre yeux. The guardsman took his leave, and was on his way downstairs when a familiar pufl and pant aroused his notice, and looking down he perceived the prince of Wales coming somewhat laboriously upstairs. Thoroughly taken aback and disconcerted, and aware, moreover, that owing to the narrowness of the staircase and the girth of the prince It was Impossible to pass him the stairs, he remained standing on the lauding, perhaps Unconsciously remaining at "attention." The prince eyed him sharply as he said "Good morning" to him. But the idea that he should find in the person of the prince of Wales the so-called doctor of Mrs. S. S. struck him as so indescribably funny that he had to put up his hand to his mouth to choke a sudden Irresistible fit of laughter. The prince noticed It., and for a full year afterward would never accord the slightest recognition to the young guardsman, who is now a colonel.

On the Threshold.

Standing at womanhood's door Is she. Clad In her virginal purity, A creature fair as the lilies lie. And, like the llliiv, alas, how frail They arc borne to the earth when the storms prevail. And their life goes out In the summer gale. When we see a frail and lovely croature, standing on the threshold between girlhood anu womanhood, we shiver with a fear of what may be, because wo have seen so many succumb at this critical period of life. What is needed at this timo is a tonic and inv'.gorant- something that will promote proper functional action of the female organs. The only remedy to be depended on is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This unequaled medicine, which cures diseases pecular to women,is especially valuableat the period when the girl crosses tho threshold of womanhood. Used at such a time, it never fails to produce a most beneficial result, and many a fragile girl has been tided ovor one of life's most trying periods by it.

IN WOMAN'S BEHALF.

BEGAN UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

Wat

Susun It. Anthony's First Speech Straight to tho Paint. "A woman preaching is like a dog's walking on its hind legs. It is not done well, but we are surprised to liud it done at all."'

It is a long time since Johnson gave rent to this statement. In the meantime, the spectacle of a woman speaklug "in public on the stage" has become so common that It Is no longer either a circus or a sacrilege. In both of which lights it was formerly viewed. But as an historical curiosity, the early experience of such women as Susan 11 Anthony are extremely interesting. It is just forty years since Miss Anthony first lifted her voice iu public. Sho spoke, exactly three sentences on that oceaslon, but they cost her an effort almost greater than the commotion her act excited.

It was at the New York state teacher's convention, in the city of Rochester, and Miss Anthony was in attendance for the first time in her life. There were about a thousand woman teachers there and about two hundred men. But tho men were certainly a glorious minority. They gave the reports, made all suggestions, nominated committees—of themselves —and, In short, they were the convention. Not one of the women had ever raised her feeble voice in approval or piotcst

At this meeting several of tho men loudly bewailed the fact that society did not respect teachers as it did lawyers, doctors and ministers. They said that they were called Miss Nancys and old grandmothers, which terms they did not seem to consider reBpeotful. They declared that the vocation of teacher was superior in importance to that of a lawyer or a doctor. Yeal even of a minister. At this point of the discussion a strange and awful thing occurred. A woman rose and said, Mr. President. That woman was young Miss Anthony. This Is the way she tells of what followed: "When the president stopped to the front of tho platform he said: 'What will tho lady have?' Just as If some one had fainted away or something had happened. The thought had never entered the miHvs head, never even cracked the shell, that one of a thousand women should speak when there were two hundred men present for that purpose. "Mr. President,' I said, 'I would like to speak on the question under discussion.' "What do j'ou think he said? He looked down ut the handful of men, who, of course, had the good scats in front, and inquired solemnly what was .the pleasure of the convention! Then some gentleman arose and made a motion that the lady be allowed— —allowed, mind you—to speak. For half an hour they discussed that motion. Finally, by a small majority, 1 was permitted to say what I had on my mind. All this time I had stood there, determined to keep the floor at any cost There was a big lump in my throat, but I choked It down. 'MR President and gentlemen,' I said as bravely as I could, '1 have listened to your discussion with a great deal of interest, but it soems to me that none of you quite comprehend the cause of the disrespect you complain of. Do you not see that while woman has not brains enough to bo a minister, a doctor, or a lawyer, but has ample brains to be a teacher, every man of you distinctly acknowledges that he has not any more brains than a woman'?" "When I sat down three men walked the length of the hall, shook hands with me, and thanked me—I hardly know why. The newspaper accounts the nest day said that I made the .men very angry, but that I hit the nail on the head. But It did some good, anyway. After mv plunge women wero allowed to read papers, were placed on committees, and took an active part in the conventions. 1 myself was asked to read a paper—which, by the way, I pot my friend, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, to write for me—and, In a voice somewhat the worse for having my ieart In my throat, I read it before the convention. Of course the paper was good—

Mrs. Stanton wrote it but this is the cheerful way in which Father Qazelton complimented me on itc 'In matter and manner 1 would not have asked that your address should be different but, madam, I would rather have followed my wife and daughter to Greenwood cemetery than have had them stand before this audience and read that address,' "Now, wasn't that nice of him?" sayB Miss Anthony, quizzically, and then murmurs, reflectively "The world do move."—N. Y. Sun.

WOMEN AS POETS.

the

Many Have l'roven by Their Work Lofty Inaplrntlon of Their Oeulna. It is no new theory that women, In orilew to succeed In poetry, must bo brief, personal, and concentrated. It was recognized by the Greek critics themselves. Into that delicious garland of the poets which was woven by Meleager to be hung outside of the goto of the Gardens of the Hespcrldcs he admits but two women from all the centuries of Hellenic song. Sappho Is there, indeed, H-causc "though her flowers were few, they were all roses," and, almost unseen, a single virginal shook of the crocus beurs tho name of Erinna. That was all that womanhood gave of durable poetry to the literature of antiquity. A critic,writing five hundred yearsaftcr her death, speaks of still hearing the ewan-note of Erinna clear alovc the Jangling clatter of tho jays, and of still thinking those three hundred hexameter verses sung by a girl of nineteen lovely as the loveliest of HomerEven at the time of the birth of Christ Erinna's writings consisted of what could be printed on a page of this mug. azine. The whole of her extant work., and of Sapphofe too, could now pressed Into a newspaper column. their fame lives on, and of Sappho, „v least, enough survive to prove beyond a shadow of doubt the lofty inspiration of he» genius. She Is the type of the woman poet who exists not by reason of the variety or volume of her work, but by virtue of its intensity, Its Individuality, its artistic perfection.

But at

At no time was It more necessary to Insist on this truth than it is to-day. The multiplication of books of verse, tho hackneyed character of all obvious notation of life and feeling, should, one would fancy, tend to make our poets more exiguous, more concise,.and more trimly girt. There are few men nowadays from whom an immense flood of writing can 1MS endured without fatigue few who can

hold 11 \c "trumpet to their Hps for hours In the market-place without making a doscrt around them. Yet there nevor was a time when the pouring out of verse was less restrained within bounds. Everything that ooours to the poet seems, to-day, to be worth writing down and printing. The result is the neglect of really good and oharming work which misses all effect because it is drowned in stuff that is second or third-rate. The womea yrho write, in particular, pursued by that commercial fervor which is so ourloua a feature of our new literary life, and which sits so Inelegantly on a female figure, are in a ceaseless harry to work off and hurry away into oblivion those qualities of their style which might, if seriously and coyly guarded, attraot a permanent attention.—Edmond Yone, in Century.

A SAD HISTORY.

Toothing Story ot the I4fe of Noble Woman.

One*

A whole -volume ia comprised in a short item going the rounds of tho newspapers. It ia the news that Mrs. J. Q. Foster, wlfeof Judge Foster,of the United States dtstrlot court, died the other day in the poorhouse of Atchison county, Kau. Years ago Mrs. Foster was a woman oi superlor intellect, charming manner and a great favorite is literary circles. Before she waa married she w^s a teacher in the publia schools and enjoyed a high reputation. Sho, howevett became addicted to the habit of intemperanoe in the use of liquors. For some years her husband supported her and andeavored to lead her away from her bad habits, but finally gave it up and procured a divorce. He soon after married again, "and happily," it is said, but his first wife drifted into the county poor house, where she hae just died. Would she have deserted him If tho evil habit had struck the other side of the family. Is a pertinent question. The assumption based on observation of hnman nature is that she would have patiently endured her trouble, shielding him as far as possible from the evil reputation his own conduct would cast upon him, and when he died would have sincerely mournod his loss, forgetting all his short-comings, remembering only the noblor qualities that belonged to her ideal.—Springfield, (Mass.) Republican.

Two Women for One Pnlplt. A curious Instance of friendship is developed In the association of two women ministers out west. Some years ago Mls6 Marian Murdock entered the ministry and was made pastor of the Unitarian church in Humboldt, la. She soon after made the acquaintance of Miss Buck. A warm attachment was formed between them, and it was not long before Miss Buck decided to enter upon the ministry also. The two women are now abroad studying and recuperating and have decided to accept no call separately. Miss Murdock says that her experience in the ministry has convinced h'er that the entire work of a parish Is too much for one woman. She points to the fact that a minister generally has a wife to help him—if not a wife, a sister or some woman and in large parishes a man has an assistant. The two women have just received a call to a church in Cleveland, O., to succced Kov. Dr. Frederick L. Hosmer.

Mrs. Julia K. Simpson.

Mrs. Julia K. Simpson, the New York Btate delegate to the woman's branch of the world's congress of religions, is a bright writer from the west, who previous to going to New York to live did much good work on the Denver and Chicago press. As the lioad of the Jewish woman's branoh In New York state Mrs. Simpson has undertaken the task of arousing enthusiasm In tho prinoipal cities sufficiently to get them to call meetings and select names of women who are competent and willing to prepare and read papers before the congress to be held In Chicago In September. She has carried out the undertaking with such success as to have nearly all of her arrangements completed for the final programme. Buffalo, Albany, Syracuse and nearly all the large cities have fallen into line.

Set Htm Right.

Goo. Augustus Sala. the well known English writer, on his last Australian trip, wrote as follows to the London Dally Telegraph "I especially have a pleasant remembrance of tho ship's doctor—a vory experen cod maritime medico indeed, who tended me most kindly during a horrible spell of bronchitis and spasmodic asthma, provoked by the sea fog which had swooped down on us just after wo left San Francisco. But the doctor's prescriptions and the increasing warmth of the temperuture as wo neared the tropics, and, in particular a couple of Allcock's Porous Plasters clapped on—one on the chest and another between tho shoulder blades—soon set me right."
