Till'RSDAY, OCTOHKH IS, 1894.

I SI'ISAK is getting cheaper.—Anjit# jVcir.s. Aud so afjain the Arjux .Ycivs asserts that a 10 per cent, tariff is not a tax.

TIIK harvest of Democratic tariff reform continues. Kvery day there are reductions of wages. The country is rapidly learning how it was fooled two years ago.

1'KOK. E. li. ANDKRSOX, cf Wisconsin, t'. S. minister to Denmark during Cleveland's first term, has repudiated Democracy, because of "its violation of party principles and party pledges." Kats always desert a sinking ship.

SENATKK D. H. 11n.i. has been called almost everything by his own party, as well as by Republicans, but a poet in the New York Rccarih-r caps the climax by referring to him as "thou bold, mysterious jumping bean of politics."

THE wheat crop of 1S93 was 200,000.Oun bushels less than the crop of 1S91. The average price in ISfll. under Harrison. was S3 cents a bushel, while in ISM, under Cleveland and with a short crop, the average price was but 5'J cents a bushel.

IKIX. GEORGE W. FAKIS is making a most successful canvass of this county during the present week. Everywhere he is greeted with large audiences which are evidence that the people are greatly interested in the issues of the campaign, llis speeches delight his listeners and they go away well pleased. The indications are that he will go out of this county with two hundred majority over Mr. lirookshire. his Democratic opponent.

THE Republicans have a tariff policy. It is the application of the principle of protection. It includes a policy for the manufacture of tin, a policy fer the stimulation for the production of sugar, a policy for the protoction ot wool, a policy for the protection of every branch of industry in which our people are in competition with Europeans, Asiatics, South Africans and South Americans. The Republicans have, to begin with, the Instruction of experience and the intelligence of patriotism.

IT was in,l$83, only eleven years ago, that the Democratic executive committee of Ohio issued a circular which said:

The woo! producing interest has perfect right to demand of the United States government: 1. That it shall receive as much consideration and encouragement as are shown to any other interest whatsoever. 2. That as protection, by means of taxing importations -of raw wool, has thus far proved highly beneficial to the farmers of Ohio, as evidenced by the continuous increase in the numbers and values of their llocks, this protection shall not be withdrawn as long as protective -policy is pursued by the L'nited States.

ANOTHER remarkable fact is that there are no trusts in England, but they have flourished in protected America.—--1 rgiw-Xcws.

England is the home of the trusts They flourish there as they flourish in no other country. Great Britain is the master spirit in combinations among the manufacturers. They can assembl in from four to six hours at a central point and divide the work. Human nature is the same in free-trade England as in protected America. Between tariff and trusts there is no re lation of cause and effect. The greatest trust that this country ever knew dealt in an unprotected article. The Standard Oil Company is not a protect ed industry, neither is the tin-plate trust of Wales.

TII COST OF 1.1 Vl.Mi.

A New York statistician who de lights in details has been figuring on the cost of living, with the view to dis cover the profits derived by the peopl from the Sugar Trust tariff bill. Promises were made, our readers will recollect. by the Democratic party that their schedules of tariff reform would lift tremendous loads from the siioul ilers of the masses of the people. 'I'lliwriter has been figuring upon thi He takes 81,000 as the average cost of family support, forty-three per cent.of this he charges to the household tabl expenses, including flour, meat, sugar vegetables, tea and coffee. This he puts down at forty-three per cent, of the whole. Fifteen per cent, to fuel This would foot up seventy-three per cent., leaving twenty-seven per cent, to be applied to clothing, extra luxu ries and savings. Everybody who keeps house knows that there has been very little reduction in the main items of cost. Grocery bills, vegetable bills and meat bills, rendered daily, weekly or monthly, show this to be a fact. House rents have not declined neither has fuel. The writer referred te esti mates that that the reduction, even through eeonom3'.does not exceed three per cent. This would be a small gain from Democratic tinkering, were the former incomes of the people main tained, but the average reduction in wages has been twenty per cent, and it would be more than that if the losses consequent upon enforced idleness were considered. These figures afford to every class of the community very serious food for reflection.

MOW DIFFERENT WE WOULD BE.

Host different we Would all of us tx»

Could wu Unow of tbc Juluic* awaiting To sever t&e ties That at present comprise The life that our hopes arc creating.

How many a word Would remain unheard.

How many a sentence unspoken, How tuanj a thought Would remain unwrought How many promise uubrokco

How many a honrt Would lis feelings Impart

And bold them no longer in keeping. Hut would gladly express .. The love wo repress Till the spirit forever i« sleeping.

How many'an act We would now retract,

How many a selfish emotion To joyfully bear Vexation and care With patience and lorlug devotion

How different we Would all of us he.

Could we look o'er the graves of the morrow. Could we look from the light To the Infinite night, From the joy to the infinite sorrow. -Clifford Howard, in Ladies' Home JournaL

Why Ha Didn't Marry the Girl of Hi» Choice.

The girl 1 am going to tell you about Is rather pretty and her name Is Edith. She has dark hair and her eyes are blue and she dresses well. She has been graduated from a seminary of good repute, and her disposition is amiable to a degree which more than a year ago brought all the young men of the neighborhood at her feet. I think she won a tennis championship in singles somewhere last vear, but I am not certain about that. What I can recall among her most pronounced accomplishments I will put down here later on. I met her so long a time ago that 1 have forgotten the circumstances of our meeting, but 1 guess they were of the ordinary sort I live nvo doors from her house, and I drop in to see her and Mrs. Burke at leant once a week. Even her marriage, which hurt me so much at the time, did not separate us for very long, and 1 think I have lived to forget my first rash determination never to look upon her face again. I called the night of the wedding and have been calling regularly ever since. I am beginning to believe that it was a good thing alter all that she didn't marry me.

What 1 want to teil and it won't take long to tell it in my dry fashion— is the story of old Browne's courtship. 1 make my living by keeping the cash accounts of a big Market street wholesale house, and Browne is the man whose desk is next to mine in the counting-room. Our salary is about the same, and, although he is two years younger than I am, 1 being fiftyone now, we both have held the same positions for twenty years. Browne weighs more than two hundred pounds, and I weigh a trifle less.

Mrs. Burke, who was Edith's mother, came to me this summer and had quite a long talk with me about her personal affairs. She said that her late husband's estate was pretty much entangled, and that to keep her present establishment on Arch street going she would have to rent some of her handsomo rooms in the house to boarders: Of course, she didn't want to do that, and. of course, I deprecated the plan, but in the end it turned out that we both had to give in.

Old Browne rented the second story front room the day after 1 told him about it. lie had been living away up town, and he was glad to get a little nearer to the office, besides enjoying all the social prestige which geographical conditions could give him. He moved Into the roomi with a dozen trunks and a wealth of bric-a-brac, which, to my mind, did not become his age. Mrs. Burke was glad to accept the reference to me which he gave her, and Edith Btniled upon him when sh* gave him his night key.

I thought a good deal of Edith, and every night or two we played cards in her mother's room. She and I played partners against young Bob Smith and Mrs. Burke. We were pretty evenly matched, too, for Bob played a stiff game of whist, and I—well, you may remember tliat'l was one of the Pentecost club's prize team last fall. Edith and 1 won most of the games, though, for Bob was too infernally lazy ever to do anything well. And he never seemed to mind it if he lost.

The presence of old Browne annoyed me a great deal, and 1 don't mind saying so. About a week after he took his rooms there I found him occupying my leat at the whist table when called, lie was fumbling the cards In his awkward fashion, and Edith was laughing at him. Bob was engaged in giving «n imitation of me telling a war story, and even Mrs. Burke was approving the ridiculous proceedings. I coughed, and that stopped the game, but 1 was uncomfortable all the evening. Bob had the good sense to apologize, but old Browne simply tittered for an hour over what he seemed to consider a good joke on me.

After that all my affairs seemed to go wrong, and I began to seriously consider whether 1 shouldn't rent every room in Mrs. Burke's house myself. I was actually contemplating this proposition one night in my own apartments, smoking my last bowl of tobacco the while, when the colored girl who waits on the door said that a man had called to see me. I have few callers, and I thought it might be Mr. Phipps, whom I had invited to come to see me more than a month ago.

With this idea in mind I told the girl to delay the man below stairs for a moment while I slipped into other clothes Then the door opened, and old Browne came ambling in. I was disgusted on the instant, but 1 managed to conceal my real feelings and invited him to be seated, lie looked all around him to see if I was alone, set his hat on the floor and then accepted my invitation with a kind of sigh. "Thank you," he said, "I only want to see you for a moment." offered him a pipe, and he declined it I told hirn «ny cigars were out "It doesn't make any difference," he said. "I'd rather not smoke. I came here to ask you some things about the Burkes."

The Lord only knows how 1 looked at him as he hesitated for a moment "1 have seen enough of them," he went on, "to believe that they are perfectly responsible people—otherwise I would not have taken lodging there. You and I are old friends, and you will take away even the slight doubt there is in my mind. Are they perfectly respectable?"

Somehow or other 1 managed to nod my head, but his presumption was paralvzinc me.

"Thank vou again," he proceeded. "The reason that 1 asked you is that I am going to marry Edith."

It took me a couple of minute* to master my emotions, but I am proud to •ay I did it My reply was cool—almost chilly. "Indeed!" I said. "Has she accepted you?" "No, because 1 haven't proposed yet. I have given the matter a good deal of thought, but before I took so serious a step in my life 1 wanted some such wise old head as yours to advise me. Now. I am happy, and we'll get married at once."

He shook hands with me, and the old idiot didn't noticc that I failed to respond. At the door I mauaged to ask him this question: "What makes you believe she'll have you?"

He seemed astonished. "Have m«!" he repeated. "Why, she's been after me ever since she knew me. I'll settle it to-morrow evening."

As he turned the stairs I noticed that he had on a suit of new clothes, a white lest and a red necktie. He said something about feeling like a schoolboy, and rushed back to my room more affronted than 1 had ever been in my life. 1 can always think best when am In bed, anil so 1 undressed and got? under covers very quickly. When 1 had thought diligently for an hour I turned over and said this to myself: "Tho old fat beast. The idea of her marrying him! I'll propose myself to her to-morroiv morning. She has been expecting it, I know, for along time." 1 didn't sleep very well, and arose a little after seven o'clock. It took me an hour to dress myself, and, having no appetite for breakfast, I only drank a: cup of strong coffee. I then walked nearly a mil» before 1 decided what to say, and was barely satisfied with the result. Edith was the sort of a girl to be particular about such things, aud I wanted to please her fancy. .Mrs. Burke came to the door and was just as much surprised to see me as I thought she would be. "It was very good of you to come so soon," she said, "and I didn't think you knew it yet." "ICuew what?" said I.

She pulled me inside the hall and looked at me, half smiling and half tearful. "Didn't you come to—er—-congratu-late anybody?"

Then 1 sal down on the hatrack and •hook my head. I felt that it was all over and that old Browne had won, and never in my life did I suffer so much misery in so small a space of time. "Then," said Mrs. Burke, "I am glad to be able to inform you myself. Edith and Bob are engaged to be married."

I arose and sat down again. 1 thought of many things, but only one sentence struggled through my lips. "Does—does old Browne know about it?" I asked. "Oh, yes but it won't interest him. Before he went down town this morning he told me that he would have to give up his rootn on account of the sun shining in it too brightly in the morning. 1 am going to turn the whole house, now, over to Edith."—K. B. Cramer, in Philadelphia Times.

THE BIG STORE. CLOAKS AND FURS

A Half flile of Board Fence

Covered with talk about the quality, fit, finish and general superiority of our line of these goods wouldn't convince a woman half so quick as it would to snuggle inside of one and walk around in front of a long mirror and see reflected the truth of every printed praise we have showered upon them. Once a woman gets fairly into one of'em you can make up your mind it's

Her Cloak.

She'll never get out if she has the price. Its a

waste of words for us to praise the garments when

a customer is inside of it—tells its own story in a

more effective manner than we are able to.

Get Inside

This is all we ask and we arc confident of the

result. This is all we ask and we feel we should be

favored as much. Give us your time and attention

and we will give you good values for little money.

This seems reasonable, don't it?

Dress Goods

It seems scarcely necessary to say anything about our dress goods. You all know about us in that line. If you don't, ask your neighbor. She does. Our friends advertise us in this line and we are satisfied with their work, so what's the use saying more. We haven't the time nor space to mention all linec in our store, but beg to remind you it will pay you to come to us for your smallest purchases. It pays to trade at the "Big Store."
