He wa a Mrufle man and slept in hi atore, and he alone had the handling of the cash. He had been robbed repeatedly, ami always at nifrht, anil he bad puizled over the matter un til he wa hearbdek.

Then I asked htm to state his financial condition. 1 Ie wa In debt eight hundred dollars, but tlointf an excellent bosine, meeting his pavmenta aa they came due. ot only that, out for the robbery he would oon have bad money to marry and act up houkeepuu. Then asked him to let m sit up in the store all nifrht, and bef.fr midnurht I had Mlved the mrxtery. He sot np in his sleep, took fift -en dollar out of the safe, and deposited it in a jar on thud top shelf. The jar. upon Utvcatiga tton. turned up every dollar he had lost. He had.

! into fewer and fewer hand duriajr the pa; ten year Tea yean tf thre were eleven companies etijraired la making rails: now there are only six. and these are in a combination which control price and output A recent meeting of the nmnafmUTer a era held, at which it was agreed to put up the price of rail to &M a ton, the price having been a low as at the Itoginuing of the year. The present price of the Jfeesteel rails in Kngiand til a ton, or fti lower than jn tne Untteti Males, tntr touu production of raiu. but year U given by the American Iron Jk Steel Association a l.m.OOU groMt tons of -J.'iW pound. If the preent difference ol fit a ton should continue through the year, w should pay l.Kr..OOO more for our rail this year than the same quantity would cost tu England. In order to prevent ua from buying rail where we can get them cheapest a protective duty of IS.44 a ton m placed on rails, although the difference be tween the total lborcot of prod net is n in Kngiand and the Unite! States ha been orricially stated by United SUte tobor Cbmmk-Mloner Carroll U. t right to be only 375f cent a ton. This is the difference in the entire lalwr cost, beginning with the iron ore. The entire cost of producing a ton ot rail in the United States is given by Mr. Wright as 45.T7 and the entire European cost, a averaged from seven establishments on the Continent and two in England, i stated by the same authority to iw be Sl,77. This makJC a difference in the total cost of produc tion of juet 53 to cover whi :h our tariff grinders give a duty of S13.41! As the steel rail trust has nxett tne price of rail at S0 a ton, or4.30 above the cost of production, the total net earnings of the six companies for this rear on 1.797.000 ton will be ST. .00.000. Our experience in the protection of iron and steel has been carefully studied and the result reduced to figure by David A. Well in hi '"Recent Economic Chanire." Mr. AVells takes the figure given out by the Iron and Steel Association, of inTiladelrhla, covering the ten venrs from 1878 to 1SS7. inclusive, and shows that the couaumption of iron and steel averaged .0oti,000 net tons per annum. The re rage price of anthracite pig iron in I'hilaiU lphin waftll.7; the price of "Scotch" pig In Kngland was $13.94, which, allowing; ample for freight, would make about t3 in this country. The average difference wa about f7. . The average price of tost rolled iron in Philadelphia wa 9)0.30 per gross ton: In England the corresponding iron waa S35.4S, a difference of over f 14; but, takina the lowest difference 17 it then appear that the consumers here paid on 60,000.000 ton in ten year S4 20,000,000 more than the English con sumers paid; or. more accurately, more than a like quantity would have cost, taking the English irice plus the frelxhL The atrx-rexate consumption of steel was M, 000,900 tons. Taking then the lowest form of steel the rail the overawe American price was S44: the avera Enirliah price W. The in creased cost to American wa 380,000,000: buL deducUna 7 per ton from the iron used in making these rail, the dif ference is S14o.000.000. The execs of price on iron ami -steel was then $300, 000,000 for ten year, or 856,000,000 per year. TWO FOREIGN MARKETS. Oar Market la Hraclt aad ta KaabMHt Chw Mrerf tt laMriaiiee wf the KHti Market t Oar rarmer HraaU's Small atl MtaLJ'tHMimthHi Now that partial free trade under the name of "reciprocity" ha been secured with Ilraail it will be of Interest to ex amine in detail what kind of a market ha been opened for u in that country, and to compare it with the free market we already have in England. The McKinbsy type of "reciprocity' seek to accomplish it end by threat of retaliation to the injury of our own people. If you do not open your mar ket to us, we say to lb-aril, we will avenge ourelve upon yon by making our own people pay duties on your sugar, your coffee, your hide on your sugar, seven-tenths of a eent to two cent per pound; on your coffee, three cent per pound, and on your hide one ami a half cento tier pound, llraxil knew that the tariff k a tax. and that these duties would restrict the ale of her product in this country, and, hence llraxil ha chosen to lower her tariff wall to our farm product and to many of our manufacture. Our wise lawmaker ought to see that if other nation should legislate againat us to enforce reciprocity of trade with them as we bare legislated againat ltrazil we should lm taken at a gnsat dhmdvaHtage. A just legislator will not vote for any measure applying to foreign nation which he i not per fectly willing that those nation should aiffdrto our own country. How should we like to have Kngland enact a reel procity meaanre embodying our Maine reciprocity klea? Admit tin plate free, or your wheat ami flour shall be taxed at Liverpool; lower your duties on woolen roods, or we will tax your corn and your meat; let in raw wool free from the English colonies, or we will tax your raw cotton. Such a tH-for-tat would expose to ua what a fool th and shallow makeshift i.our reel procity br threat of retaliation. Hut our lawmaker ought to to willing to see reciprocity by threat .become universal, else their votes for the McKbiley brand of reciprocity were inconsistent and aot founded on their belief in the intrinsic wisdom ami jnstk of that measure. These law maker voteii tans untie on many nn gliah product which involve a great hardship to many manufacture rs ami working people in Europe by shutting them out of our markets; ami now our high tariff organ exultingiy print report of the shutting down of worsted milk in Mradford, Kaguum.

In l'J onr export to England amounted to 587V,Mra,000, while our import from England were only Sl78.a,0O0. Whatprotectionista call the "balance oi u-aoe m our favor" ought here to to fS01,7ai,ww. According to Blame's figuring we made that amount In England in one year; and this "shrewd and weather-wise aarixator" ought certainly to exert him self to increase such a profitable trade. How would some of hi lfrasilian free trade do in this case? Although the ltraxilian duties oh farm product which are to be removed are small, still it h doubtless true that lUaine's free trade will "open the market there for another bushel of wheat and another barrel of pork." Our farm products will find a larger sale there, but our farmers must not expect too much from the Uracil inn market There are only about 1S.OO0.W0 inhabitant in llraxil. of whom onlv about 4. X,000 are white. The rest are, Indians, negroes and mixed race. Englaml ha a population of about S0.000.000. PROTECTION BOODLE. GMMMtkiH MMtataeturer IaMtatHtK United Statsft in K4tK Campaign In the political campaign now in progress in Canada the question of unrestricted reciprocity of trade with the United States is the main issue. The eompaign there is developing some amusing resemblance to the protectionist tactics in our own campaigns. A dispatch from Montreal shows, for example, how the protected manufact urers of Canada are preparing to collect lioodle for use In the coining election. The dispatch reads curiously like what happens in the United State in a polit ical campaign. Here it is." Th Hianiiticturers'are beenmlnx Very muck alnrioelat tn unrestrained reciproc ity polky of tae liberals, believing tnat it free trade, between Canada and the United h tat as lo had the Canadian manufacturer wl 1 1! run out of bnslnes by i lie free competition from tint other iMo. A meeting waa held, ttwretore, to devise means to eowibst th liberals. There were about twenty millionaire wanufselurer and business men present. Resolutions were of ered md adopiwt eoademnlnic unrettrletea reciprocity ami approvlnx the government policy of limttHl reciprocity and prwteetlnn to Canwlian insnufHeturers. It is thouxht that the mannlaeturera will Mdoeribe M, W to the election fund. As much alike as two pea. We erect a McKinleywall to protect ourselves against Canada, our protected interest sulmeribe enormous funds to keap that wall in repair when it kt endangered about election time; ami now the protected interests of Canada are gomg through with the same comedy 1 We need protection against Canada, and Canada needs protection against us! American "boodle" is raised here to save ha from Canada, and Canadian "boodle" is raised there a the only salvation from the cheap flow of American good Whkh will drive Canadian manu facturer to the wall ami throw Canadian labor out of employment.

This week we liave one that begins gladly aad ends sadly. Grateful JKaaman comas back to the house of the prophet, desirous to testify to libs gratitude in some substantial way. He urges the prophet to take of him a present. Hut Elisha utterly refused to do this ami with good reason, for, if lie had taken a reward, tlte enemies of Israel would have said that he used the power that God gave him to qjirieh himself. This would never do, and so he declined to take even so much as a garment In tJU connection, call the attention of the schol

ar again to the fact that none of God's servant ever used their miraculous powers for the sake of personal gain. They had freely received this jKtwer and freely they gave Its benefits to others. In this respect they were like the Master himself. Ho Xaaman goes his way. Hut now the spirit of covetousness seise Uehaxi, Elisha servant, and lie plaits how be may make, something out of "this Syrian." Tie dare not ask for any Uiing for hi master, or even for himself, so lie invents a story about two : sons of the prophet having eome to Elisha unexpectedly, and ask for a trifle for them. This and more too Xaaman gratefully gives, and mads his two servants to carry the present home. Tliere Geltaxi carefully hhles the stuff away, and then goes in to wait on his muster as though nothing had happened. Hut Elisha hud followed him with his propltetic power, ami knew all that had taken place. So when Uehaxi comes into his master's presence, lie n questioned, ami trie to hide hi evil deeds; but in vain. Tlie prophet knows it all, and with severe rebuke exposes hk hypocrisy ami inflict upon him a terrible punishment, for the leprosy of JN'aaman appeared on Gelmxi, and he went out from tlie presence of Eliabu a whits a snow. Uehaxi sin wns very great And this for several reasons. In the first place he hud been with Elkdut bow for some time, and had had abundant opportunity to know what wa right ami

what wrong. He wa no lieathen, brought up in spiritual darkness. There wa no totter man living in the world ' at that time than Elisha. Iu tlie next place to had just learned that hi mastor wa not willing to take any reward for tlie miracle that lie had wrought And I doubt not he knew well the true reason why he ltad refused to do this. Yet in tlie face of all this, to concocted hi He, and backed them up with other. He was in reality a liar ami a thief. Uehaxi, going secretly through all the steps of that guilty course, did not realise that the eye of the prophet waa upon him every moment of the time. Yet so it was. Elisha knew as well what he wa about as tltough he were at the man's side. What a picture is this of the way in which God follow us and knows all that we do. And not only docs He know aU that we do, but ail that we thiuk ami feel as well. Our hearts are a open to Him as though there were only a pk?ce of plate glass in front of them. Did you ever see a glass toe-hive? Well, if you did you could look through it and see all the

bees at work, some coming, some going, some bringing lioney, and some wax. All wa a open to you a though it wa being done in the open air. So our live are open to Uotl, and however much we are able to deceive our fcllowinen we arts notable to deceive God. Hev. A. F tklmufncr, D.D. l'KAC'nCAL SUOGKSTIONS. 1.
