I've known you both for nearly twenty years, and though I sy it to your faee, I never saw two sqtiarer men on salt water in my whole lite." o "Well, oap'n, I think we have done pretty near what is right sinoe you sailed in our eompany, but shortly afore you fell in with as there was somathlnjc that happened whioh both Bill and I would give all we are worth if it hadn't! Although I'm beginning to feel that it might have been for the beat, as it brouffht forth what little there was of good in the characters of two men." "I have always believed that there was a page in your histories which would prove of deep interest, but one which you hare hitherto oarofullv guarded. Now, if It is not askinff too much, I beg that you will make a confidant ol me, and acct-pt the word of a sailor that I will never reveal the secret," At this Tom hesitated, ere ho began: "Cap, although Hill and 1 never said that what happened that day wo wouldn't talk about, ret we have mutu ally kupt silent on the subject nioro hecause it wasn't real pleasant (or either of us to think of than .because we were ashamed to let tho world know what confounded fools we made of ourselves. Yes, cap'n, I'll toll you! It was way Iwck in '65 when lilll and 1 were working together on a wreck just inside of Chesapeako bay. between Cape. Henry Light Rail Hampton Roads. Wo had come down from New York, and were pretty spruce young chaps in those days. Now, it seemed, although neither one of us knew it, that we wero both thinking considerable of the same girl. We had been aboard of a wreck ing schooner, about tl.e size of this one, for yearly two wocks when one Sunday I was overhauling my things in the, forecastle, and was just taking out a picturo of the 'little ono' that I'd left up home. Kill came along, and, looking over my shoulder, says: 'Hullo, chum. ho have you got theror "Says I, as honest as could he, hand ing him the picture: That's the woman I hope will bo my wife some day "'our wifo!' sayahe, as he toek the photograph. 'My God! That's Nancy Stewart!' and glancing up I saw lilll staring at the picture with his faoe as white as a new gaff-top-s'l. Then thrust ing the likeness into his pocket, he hissed through his olenched teeth: 'No, Tom Ilaxter! She never will be your wife!' and, turning, he .sprang up the steps out ot the forecas'le before 1 oould stop him. "As you may imagine, I was boiling mad, and surprised as well. I followed lilll on deek and saw him sitting on a water cask with both hands up to his faoe. I approached him, and. touching him on tho shoulder, I asked as gently as I could for the return of the picture. "As he looked up tome, the expression of his countenance was that of a maniac; his features were distorted with either anger or anguish, I know not which. '"Come, come' 1 said, after a pause, during which my chum glared vacantly at mo. Give me back the photograph "The answer I received was a blow, and down 1 went as though shot, with Hill on top. I was considerably stronger than he in those days and soon got the best of the affair. I held Hill down on deck with one hand at his throat and with the other pulled the pictnre from bis pockot, but in uoing so it was torn in two and I only secured one-half. At this instant our shipmates separated us, and for the rest of that day we avoided each other as muc h as possible. "On Monday morning, as we were 'dressinrc'our selves side by side as usual, ready to go down to werk, 1 eeuM aaar Bill muttering under his breath, and just as bis 'tender' was screwing on the face-piece to his helmet, I caught a most malignant look upon his features, but he uttered no threats aloud. "My companion had scarcely reached the bottom ere I was in the water and rapidly descending. 1 had made up my mind to give 11111 as wide a berth as possible during the day, and began my labors stripping off the copper from the wreck well aft, while he was amidships. "Wo had been dewa perhaps half an hour, and I was commencing to fool a littlo more at ease, when all at once I beard a slight tapping on my copper helmet, and a hand was placed upon my shoulder. I had been kneoling. hut quickly rosu to my feot, and, turning, saw Hill standing before mo: but his aspect sent a chill to my very heart. He was extending towards me a knife, tho blade of which he touched with one finger, and then pointed to my weapon, which hung in its sheath at my belt "1 comprehended his meaning. It was a challenge to mortal combat But what a placn for such an encounter! I am ashamed to admit however, that after the first brief instant of surprise, I begun to feci an insane desiro te overcoma and subdue my rival, even tho'ugh it was in a struggle to the doavhl "Se, dropping the short iron bar with which I had been previously working, 1 drew my knife in turn. On seeing this move. Hill reached forth one hand and grasped mine, whioh he gave a convulsive pressure, and then waved me back to prepare for aetlon. "Now began the battle. The thrusts, as you mast know, were somewhat impeded by the pressure ot the water, hut still they were given with sufficient foree, if they had not been skillfully parried, fur any ana el them te have

"Suddenly I began to toee asy air, and was borriftoi te see a aaaall atoaa el the rubber hose drop dewa befeaa aty eyes, and I kaaw that Kill had Mveeei the pips but still , at that meaiemt 1 remember thinking that it matt have been aa aecldeat, as Bill, evea ia hi anger, would not uke such a weaa advantage over his adversary. "Suffocation quickly followed, hat before entirely losing coaaeieuaaaaa I gave the signal to be drawn te the ur face, and then 1 knew no more until I found myself lying upon the scaooaer' deck, with helmet off, aad my head resting en Hill's knee, while the noble fellow was gently wiping the blood aad fom from my lips aad nostrils. H was 'dressed' just as he had been whea going into the water, barring th removal of the glass faee-pieoe' ia his head-gear. "When I opened my eyes and looked around, I saw him wave the rest oT the chaps aside, aud then he bontdown an til the cold copper of his helmet tonehed my cheek, as he whispered: Thank Udd, Tom, you to safe. But don't for the Sake of our old friendship, say a word oi what's happened to our shipmates. And, oh, if you can, forgive me, yourself, "Forgive him? Why, blees hint, I've loved him since that moment And never from that day to this has the affair been spoken of te any ono but ourselves." "How was it that he eut your hose willing to take your life, yet still, did so much to bring yon to?" asked the captain, incredulously. "Hill was quick tempered, and he was in an awful rage, lie would not hate hesitated to have thrust his knife into my heart, albeit he would have been sorry for it thu next instant, but cutting the 'pipe was an accident and when he saw the terrible death with which I was threatened, his anger disappeared like the mlsti of morning before the gentle sea-breeze. The 'hoys' told me that when I came to the surface 1 was in Hill's arms, and it wae his 'own hands which unlocked the helmet from the 'collar' and gave ma air. They also told me that he would not stop to his have 'weights unbuckled, porhis 'head-piece' removed, hut just Kwlt down beside me, calling all the while for me to open my eyes, just as though I had been a brother." "IIOw about the young woman whe was the causa ot all this trouble? What became of her?" inquired the captain, with much interest. "Oh, Nancy? Boor girt," went en Tom. "Why. she didn't care nothing for cither of us two fools. All the time we were thinking that we might prevail upon her to cruise in our company, she had agreed to sign articles with a young mate of an East Indian an.

"What! Do you mean that Neddy, your 'tender,' is Nancy's boy?" "That's just about 'the siae ef it cap'n. And he's a boy that no woman need be ashamed of, either; aad if nil mother will let the lad follow the has4 , ness into which he's started and that't j what Hill has gone up to the house to And out, I'll wager my gear and 'drees' that within five years there won't he a diver on the I'aollc Coast who will "dip' deeper or work longer uader water thai the same boy."

fss4Ha 3anJ ae HPnJfctfcnnLa, dm1 sJnnS aMrftfc tnvt Colombo, said that the Democratic party will remala attached to "ear alaia aad frugal people," ha gave attataaee to a tret at groat slgmifieaaea. The Democratic party ia the eiptcial ehaneainn aif fttto slain amd fi as il aeoole ad the country. This general remark must of course, he understood with the necessary limitations. There sea rich men in the Does cora tie party aa there are ia other parties. There have always been rich aw ia tho popular party, aad there always will he. Xo reasonable prejudice earn he ehsrished against wealth ia the abstract Ia feat the alaia aad frugal people are usually quite as desirous of acquiring wealth aa others, and, in point ef fact the ranks of our millionaires are from time to time recruited by the addition of men whe bogaa life ia the vale of poverty. The acquisition of wealth ia depeadeat upon the desire that exists among men to bettor their somditioas, and to that desire all human progress is to be attributed. The plain and fragal people whe compose the rank and file of the Democratic yarty are not hostile to wealth, of which they appreciate the advantages, hat to the special privileges which the wealthy sometimes claim aa their right They deny that special protection is due to tho rich, because the rich are by virtue ef their wealth the best fitted to protect themselves. The Democratic principle of "equal righto to all aad exclusive privileges to none," is necessarily in tho interest ef the ioor, who are always la the majority, aad can not expect to obtain exclusive privileges for themselves. The most which they expect and what they have a right to demand, is that they shall net bo made the victims of the rapacity of the rich aad powerful. The wealthy are ia no special danger, except from the spirit of communism, and this is very often the extreme position assumed by the enemies of the extreme pretensions of favored classes. The most effective antidote to communism in all its varied forms is justice to the masses who desire, and have a right to demand, aa equal chaace to compete tor wealth aad honors. So loag as the avenues of wealth aad preferment are open to all, on equal terms, the growth of communistic sentiment in a dangerous degree is impossible, because it encounters determined resistance from the sturdy middle elass, which will not renounce its chance of winning the great prizes that are within the reach of many ot its members. It is oaly whea wealth seeks to be exclusive aad to shat the door ia the faee of ambitious poverty that the communistic spirit assumes dangerous proportions. Thus on the w ell-known principle that extremes beget extremes, we find that the extreme pretensions ef wealth give the greatest encouragement to the extreme pretensions of poverty. These two extremes meet in the demand to enjoy what ethers have earned. The Democratic party has always relied mainly on the support of the plain ad frugal people of the country people who realised that it was their lot in life to work aad to save. At the foundation of the Government it was so. The parties then known as Federalists and Republicans were mainly distinguished from one another by the circumstance that the former was the party of easte and priyilege. the latter of equality. The former leant toward monarchy or aristocracy, and would have established them ia this country had it been stroag enoagh; the latter was the champion of democracy, by which was meant simply the rule of the plain aad fragal people that formed then, as it forms now. the bulk ot the population. Even uader the administration ef Washington the name of Democrat was applied as a term ef reproach to those Republicans representative of the people who were net gorgeous enough in attire to satisfy the aristocratic tastes ef those who assumed to be the bettor element The Whig party, which may be called the assignee in bankruptcy of the Federalists, numbered among its leaders many men whe assumed to belong to superior caste. Arrogating to themselves the monopoly ef intelligence and virtue, they reproached their opponents, who largely earned their livelihood by manual labor, as "the great unwashed" Deatocwashed" wore toe numerous for the advocates of easte, aad so generally oatvoted them that the Whig party followed the Federalists lata iavolaatary political bankruptcy. The successor ef the Whig party, after the Know Xethiag episode, assumed a cast-off name of the Democrats, nnd called itself the Republican party. Bat, apart frees the transitory issues afforded by the slavery agitation, this party which called itself Republican was essentially the eld Federal party. Since the slavery issue was settled the Democrats that attached themselves to it ea account of their opposition to slavery have been returning to the Democratic party, where they belong. The socalled Republican party is the eld Fed eral party revived, se for as its essential principles and tendencies are eoneemed, and it is continually becoming more and more aa in Its personnel. TJadonhtedly. there are many thousands ef the plain and fragal people of the coan try among its rank and file; it eoulL net exist without them. But they are in the Republican party hecaese its character and purposes have been misrepresented to them. The leaders of that party, while constantly discriminating in favor of wealth, while continually seeking to build up priviled red classes with power to lay what hardens they choose upon the masses, have had the assurance to hold themselves out as the special friends ef labor, the great and only champions of the men who toll and create the wealth which Repub.iea leaden seek to give to ethers to enjoy. By this collossal misrepresentation, and by other methods equally repreaeasihle, they have alternately wheedled and Intimidated a iare number ef the laborers ef the aeeatry into the support ef a pel ley wkieh has added to their hardens with

The quarrels ef Republicans ever the) responsibility for defeat promise to he not low valuable as public edaeatoea than the preparation, advocacy aad defense of the iafaaoee MeKiaiey hill were. Oae wiag of the patty is append to the MeKlnley hill because it is aa open and defiant expression ef the assumed right ef monopoly to tax the pesple iet its own interest. This wiag may he termed the crafty section of Republicanism. It knows that a protective tariff is taxation for robbery, but it ia intelligent enoagh to perceive that it eaa net prevail by hoaest methods. It favors indirection, pretended reforms, ebeats, shams, "safeguards for protection," reciprocity any thiag, every thing, except a direct and honorable course looking to the decrease of the popular burdens. The other wing is made up of faaatiee aad toe dupes ot the monopolists, men who truly believe that a tax ia a blase ing. that taxes create wealth, thattaxea promote prosperity aad that cheapness is a calamity. These miserable idolaters have believed ail that the agents of the trusts have ever told them aad they eaa not compromise oa any middle coarse calculated to deeeive the people aad to re tola the substance of protection. McKinley ia 4 their patron saint, as Blaine, the area apostle of monopoly, is the hope ef the ether elemeat Until now the protective tariff delasioa has been upheld for the most part by crafty men like Maine, who kaaw its nature and whe have maintained it by playing upon the ignorance and prejudice of men. Reformation of the tariff by its friends has always meant its retention and increase, although there have been a few concessions that served to allay popular discontent while the robbery went oa. It is now proposed by Mr. Rlalae and ethers to relieve the pressure somewhat by a shaaa reciprocity with a few South American states merely in the hope of safeguarding protection, hut no one proposes that any oppressive tax shall he removed or that the unnatural privileges granted to any monopoly shall be curtailed. Between the two Republican wines, the schemers and their dspes, .there promises to be a merry war from this time forth, with the certainty that if the people will note the utterances ef each they will receive more aad mere light on the subject of elass taxation. It is not likely that the dupes will permit the repeal or the MeKlaley bill, fee they believe in it and the ehsnees appear to he that the next Presidential campaign will be fought eut ea substantially the same line as that whioh was drawn ia the recent eon vest The demagogues Ilka Blaine real their hope upoa the chance el deceiving the people with pretended eoncessioas te the reform spirit The dupes like MeKlaley base their future upon the belief that the McKinley bill will presently satisfy the people and become popular. As to both of these contentions there is need of continued investigation of and adherence to fundamental economic truths. The McKinley infamy, it per mitted to stand, will he more easily ' borne a year hence than it is to-day, bat as invention, sagacity, hard work aad new processes serve to beat dewa its oppressions the demand from monopoly for aaother and a higher tariff will increase. Reciprocity, instead of being a cere for the afflictions of the eountry, is merely a subterfuge and a delusion. The people eaa have no real relief until the monopoly taxes are repealed, and whea they are repealed there will he ao occasion for elaborate reciprocal schemes to be controlled by a few corrupt officials at Washington. The Blaines themselves have preached the wildest protectionist doctrines that the world ever heard. Their unhappy dupes have carried out these ideas honestly, only to be beaten by the people aad to find that their great mentor, with as maay Uvea as a eat new comfort them with a paltry scheme that ia guaranteed to work la nobody's haada hat his own. Te hail this real low pretender as a deliverer may become fashionable, hat be will hardly satisfy the fanatics whom he has raised up, or the intelligent men whom his tricks, treacheries and eva&iene have dri7a off.
