leans. For uncompluluinff fortitude, for sturdy enduruuee, for streu jyth that knew no fnlterinif, for hpleiulitl faith and undaunted licroism, timt Ktory has no equal on the ptiRü or history. Many dclieatu women died in tlioso iirst years, but u never read that they weakened in connive vvhilü thev lived. Theirs was the underlying
might of a purpose which had its root in principles; and, w hoever may celebrate the Pilgrim Fathers, women should forever keep green the memory of the heroic Pilgrim Mothers. We like to think of the groups which assembled at those Puritan dinner In thoso far-awav days. Tho
harvests were reaped; the churches und the school-houses w ere built; the children were brought up in tho fenr af Ood. In the cold meeting-house on the top of the nearest hill there had been a long service, prayers, psalins, sermons, all of a generous prodigality of time to which we in our religious
services of to-day are strangers. 1 lien came tho unbending, the lavish dinner, tho Irolin of the little ones, the talk beeide the Uro, when tho parents drew upon tho reminiKoenccs of fuir England, or of Holland by the sea. Many u trothplight was spoken In tho twilitrht of Thanksgiving day.
Youths and mnideiiB then, as youth and maidens still, met and fell in love. The beautiful story which never grows old was told by the ardent suitor to tho blushing girl in the Puritan home, as in our households yet. . " Long was the good man's sermon, nut It seemed not go to me, For he spake of Hunt tho beautiful, And then 1 thought of thee." After all. the world ehnnges little in
essentials as time pusses. The girl will wear her blue or her orange a fewdays later this year, but on Thanksgiving day,as on all dnys.her lovcrwillflnd his sunshine in her eyes, nnd her favor will be his highest incentive to manliness aud nobility. llnrper's Ilnzar.
HOME MARKET NONSENSE.

facts reported by Secretary Morton f with reference to thu growth of competition with some of our agricultural ( producthln foreign markets and makes j

Tho tarlir reformers look facts in tho face. They recognize the fact that tho prices of many farmers' products are made abroad, because his surplus must bo cold in the optm market of tho world. They, therefore, Insist that he is not in a position to pay tribute to munufucturoiw whoso profits far exceed his own. They have heard from protectionists a great deal about the sulliclcnoy of the home market, but the facts show that it is a myth. The Journal says hat tho only way to help the farmers is to build uji by protection, of course -more- manufacturing towns and villages.

That does not indicate that protection is providing, or liable to provide, a home market that obviates tho necessity of exporting whuat and cotton.

t tii rr.Mt ls. Under the heading, "Carry lUeU taa Comparisons," the organ o( tha Protective Tariff: loaguo hays: "But tha frlonds of protection should challenge the comparison with the great protective era of lNfll-t)3 and the free trade period which preceded it." If this ungramtnatical sentence means unvthiug, it is a comparisoa that tho protectionists arfl afraid of, a comparison of the condition of tha cminlrv uiHer tho rat year of the . Wllsno tariff and thu panic year, of lS'J.VU w icu the McKinley law was in operation. As the comparison is ona ! which every business man, farmer and irln 'man is dally making, the fact
that the high tariff organs wish to rim away hack to the period before 1801 does not matter much. Vet it is satisfactory to know that then as well aa now tho superiority of a low tariff was. clearly shown by tho greater prosperity of tho whole country than during the existence of moderate protection. From 1810 to 1SG0 the development of ii'l brnnchosof industry was uncqualod in the history of the United States. In his book, "Twenty Years in Conirress ." that eminent republican states
man, .lames C. Hlaine, furnlslics tna following proof of the beneficial effects of the Walker low tariff. Moreover, the tariff of 1810 was yielding abundant revenue, and the business of tho country was in n ilourisliin" condition. Money became very abundant after 1319, large enterprisea wi..t.iir.n. .inoculation wna
wuru uhmki-! - prevalent, and for a considerable period the prosperity of tho country was general and apparently genuine. After in-. ti democrats had almost undis
puted control of the government and had gradually become a free trade party. 'The principles embodied in the tariff of 1810 seemed1 for the tuna to bo so entirely vindicated and approved that resistance to it ceased, not onlv among tho people, hut among the protective economists, and even among the manufacturers to a largo exteut. So general was this acquiescence that in 1Ö5G a protective tariff was not sug
gested or even lunteti uyan3.uu.uu1 tho three parties which presented, presidential candidates," When protectionists go back to early history for arguments in favor of their hi"h taxation schemes, let them not omit to publish this impartial tostimouy of a republican leader. I He ..t 1.-,. historian will be able to use al
most tho above language In reference to the effects of tho Wilson tariff. But there will bo one exception. The socalled "protective economists wia ncv2r stop their abuse of a revenue tariff. "' U
