Stanton, in Atlanta Constitution. A HASTY MARRIAGE.

An Old-Time Story When Banns Were Published. “I will never speak to you again while my name is Molly Glazier, nor will I set my feet inside your door, Aunt Abbott. You have no right to « chide me in this way.” “I have only performed an unpleasant duty. Niece Molly. You have no mother.^ Your behavior with young men is indiscreet; you are keeping in your train four young men, all of whom have asked your hand in marriage.” “But what is a young girl to do, Aunt Abbott? Can she not have friends?” “Friends, indeed! A young girl may always conduct herself with propriety. You will make a bad match.” “And it is your desire, Aunt Abbott, ' that 1 make no match at all. But, mark my words, I will be married before your daughter, my eousin Prudence, is, and I will make a better match than she.” “You should not allow your lips to utter such hasty speeches, Niece Mary. You know my daughter Prudence is engaged to Harvey Pearl, and that they are to be married on the first day of the new year. You would certainly do nothing to prevent the banns being read in church next Sunday?” “Certainly not. Aunt Abbott, but I -shall be published in church next Sunclay also.” “I am aware, Niece Mary, that you ■are exceedingly angry, and I make allowance for your hot temper, inherited from your father; but it is positively sinful for you to make such unreasonable statements. It is not in -any wise probable that in a sparsely settled section of county like this, where desirable marriageable men are not plenty, thatyou will find your match -so soon. My daughter Prudence has ever been quiet and proper in her deportment, and she is exceedingly fortunate, as every one who knows her intended is pleased to say. Go you home now, Niece Mary, keep your too indulgent father’s house and deport jourself like a sensible young woman, nothing doubting that in good time jou will have a suitor who is fully jour equal. Eighteen is not old Your -cousin Prudence is nineteen and a month. Go home now, I say, and harbor no ill-will.” “I have said what 1 harve said,” replied the beautiful young girl, mounting her spirited horse and riding down '1the West Ashford hills and out of sight /^at a pace that made her good aunt •sigh: “My brother-in-law has no right to •allow his daughter to ride such a nettlesome steed. She will have her reckless young neck broken yet, and should such a mishap occur I am not sure that it would not be more a matter for thankfulness than for sorrow; she is so self-willed and so headstrong that I know not what she will come to.” “To no harm, mother, I am sure,” -Ventured Prudence, who was oversewing a snow white linen sheet of her •own weaving and bleaching, as she -cast a wistful look after her cousin. •' “Anything that might seem vain and -thoughtless in an ordinary girl is overlooked in one so exceedingly pretty as Molly. I regret that you angered her ao, for I would almost as soon not have a wedding as to do without her as „ bridesmaid; and if she comes not neither will her father, my favorite uncle, William Glazier.”

• l)o not fear, my daughter, that funloving Molly would not for the world miss of such a merrymaking- as your -wedding promises to be.” “But, mother, I n^ed my tasteful cousin’s assistance and advice. I can but wish you had spared your Chiding until alter the wedding.” “And had one of her unworthy young beaux here in my house as my guest and my niece’s suitor? Not at all. I have done what was right and best. She has ridden off the first heat of her wrath by this time, and is framing in her mind the note of apology she will send me to-morrow.” But for once notable Mistress Abbott was mistaken. Her niece dashed down the long Ashford hills with her horse on a mad gallop, minding no more the light weight upon his back than as if it had been a feather. Through the ■charming Fenton river valley they

Trent and np the hills on the Willing ton side with hardly a tweak ora slackening' of speed, until the intelligent animal came to a standstill at the door of the blacksmith’s shop where William Grazier, as usual, was shaping an iron upon his anril. Slipping from her saddle the excited young girl rushed into the smoke-dyed little shop, and with characteristic impetuosity told her only parent, as she told him everything, the whole story of her quarrel with her aunt, regardless of the fact that in the shadow cast by the huge leather bellows stood a young man who was a stranger, gazing with admiration at her glowing face and kindling eyes. “Oh she5 was angry!” cried the girl, “so dreadfully angry that she called me ‘Niece Mary’—think of that!—and she said I took my bad temper from you, father, and she taunted me with being eighteen and not yet engaged, and I told her just what I have repeated to you, father, word for word.” “You were too hasty, I fear, daughter. You will lose the wedding of which you have thought so much, for you have pledged yourself to the impossible. Even had you a suitable lover there would be hardly time for you to be published according to law before New Year’s day. And you certainly will not now select a husband from the lovers you have rejected.” “No, father, but I have said what I have said, and I cannot help it that I feel within my very soul that I have spoken truth, although whom 1 am to wed I know not.” “I will wed you within the appointed time if you will accept me. I shall never love anyone better than I do yon at this moment. 1 never have cared for a maid in my life before. This is the love at'first sight of which I have heard. I came with recommendations to ybur father to purchase some of the large tracts of land of which he holds the title,”—said the young stranger,

stepping' forward. “Yes, daughter, this young Master Wolcott is a kinsman of the one who came through from Boston to Hartford with coach and four, laying out the socalled Wolcott road. He brings me letters from my people in Massachusetts, and I know that his .fpmily are quite as well born as ours. Well, save your blushes, lass, and go you in and prepare the supper. The stranger will be our guest, at least. I dislike to hare one of my kin forfeit her word, and I dislike to lose my favorite niece’s wedding. We will talk it over.” Molly glanced up at the comely young man who now stood in the full light of the ruddy forge, and felt as if a prince had come to her rescue out of fairy land; and so abashed was she thtft, audacious though she was generally, she dropped the lashes over her luminous eyes, and turning quickly, ran away into the house without a word. She peither lost her head nor her wits, however, but thought and planned while preparing the repast which, be it said to her credit, was lacking injnothing, for a pattern housekeeper was this wild little Molly, about whose pranks the whole coun tryside was talking. And when the young stranger came in with her father she presided at table with so much dignity mingled with girlish shyness and sweetness, as to entirely complete the conquest of his heart —if there had been any reservations before. “We must be published next Sunday at the same time and place as my cousin Prudence,” she said to her father next morning, “and that will give just time to be married on New Year’s day, but who will perform the ceremony I know not. Parson Fuller will be starting so early to marry my cousin.” “1 will manage that,” said the smith, “the parson is a good man, a very good man, but he is fond of a joke, and I am owing him one that I have not paid off. This is a rare chance—a rare chance indeed!” The next Sunday, greatly to the astonishment of the whole congregation, Molly and Young Master Wolcott were published as intending marriage. Prudence and her lover being published, also. Neither of the prospective brides was present, but next day Mistress Abbott and her daughter Prudence called at the Glazier residence to congratulate Molly and to hear the particulars of this sudden engagement. They found no one at either house or forge, and there was no reply made to the note sent next day by special messenger with Mistiess Abbott’s profuse offers of advice and assistance. “It is impossible,” wrote she, “that my niece should be married without a wedding; such a thing was never heard of in our family, and they cannot be married on New Year’s day, as Parson Fuller is bespoken here and 1 respectfully urge that William Glazier, his daughter and their guest shall be present at my daughter’s nuptials on that day.”

William uiazier reaa tne leiier witn a smile, saying only: “Goon with your preparations, daughter; my honored sister-in-law has always been rather overload of directing the affairs of the whole family. I will manage the parson. You will see what you will see.” “Lucky that New Year’s comes of a Monday this year,” chuckled William Glazier on the morning of the eventful day, as the trio sat at breakfast. “Why, father dear?—so that all the housekeepers bidden to my cousin’s wedding will have to put off their week’s washing.” “Not at all, you may depend every -washing is snapped on the line before this time. See, the sun is just rising. Too long sparking Sunday night makes a late Monday’s breakfast. Lucky our last snow cleared off with a rain.” “Why, Mr. Glazier? so that the rugged hills may be like huge icebergs and the guests who go to your nieces wedding do so at the risk of their lives?” “Oh, you will see what you will see. Go dress thyself, daughter, as we have planned, in thy mother’s wedding gown of white satin brought from England; and Master Wolcott, make thyself ready. We will have prayers after you

are dressed—that is my whim this morning.” Soon after the young people appeared in their wedding finery. William Glazier, who stood by the window commanding a view to the westward, chuckled again. “There comes Parson, up Wolcott’s road, creeping along on his hob-nailed shoes and leading his good horse White Stocking, who, poor beast, is walking on three feet and slipping up on the fourth at erery step. Art thou ready, children? He is turning this way—of course he is turning this way,” and opening the outer door ho called: - “Good morning and a happy New Year to thee, Parson Fuller.” “The same to thee, thou son of Vulcan. Were it not for thy craft it would be a sad day for me and for thy niece over yonder toward the sunrise, for this horse has lost a shoe and you shod him all around with sharpened calks only last week.” 4 “Parson, I told you better than to buy a horse with one white foot, and you laughed when 1 said that foot would bring you bad luck some day; but come you in and conduct morning prayers; my fire is hardly yet alight in my forge.” “Lucky you hare a fire, for this can hardly be called a working day. Sure- | ly you are going to your niece’s wedding?” “That depends entirely upon you, parson. If you will make my daughter Mistress Wolcott, so that she can keep her word to ];er aunt, we will most gladly accompany you upon your ride.” “But^where are the guests?” “They will be here at the second-day wedding to-morrow. Here are the bride and groom.”

“And as comely a pair as ever stood before a parson to be married.” The ceremony having been performed. the horse’s shoe was quickly set and the horse led to the door. “How much shall I pay you?” asked the parson, who prided himself upon never owing a penny, even over night. “Oh!” chuckled William Glazier, “we will call it square in consideration of the fact that 1 only nailed on the shoe 1 pulled off, and that 1 was following your advice in doing that.” “My request, you mean.” “No, parson. Do you remember some weeks ago when I was saying to you at Noble’s tavern that times were hard, and you advised me to carry my pincers in my pocket andslyly pull a shoe off every horse hitched up in the tavern shed? The owners would then be obliged to have the shoe reset, and that would make my business lively. I followed your advice yesterday, in order to make sure of your stopping here this morning long enough to marry my daughter, for I knew well enough unless you were obliged to stop you would frame up some excuse and gallop on your way.” “I am well caught in my own trap,” said the parson, joining heartily in the laugh of the bride and groom. “Come, now, your purpose being accomplished, let us be on our way. Ride you in front as the master of ceremonies, William Glazier. Next, Mistress Wolcott on a pillion behind her husband I, if it be true that my good horse ries one unlucky foot, would best briu^ up the rear.” So they started out, and finding reinforcements at almost every house, it was quite a cavalcade that drew up at the Abbott mansion—a little late, to be sure, but Mistress Abbott was too glad to see her brother-in-law riding gallantly at the head of the company . to have her becoming serenity ruffled, even when he said: “My daughter has not broken her word to you, Sister Abbott. She is no longer Mollie Glazier, but Mistress Richard Wolcott, and you are all invited to my house to their second-day wedding to-morrow.” Mistress Abbott welcomed her niece and nephew with the most affectionate cordiality, but could not forbear saying with dignity: “I performed a very unpleasant duty in speaking to Niece Molly as I did— but this happy event was the result. She never would have married Richard Wolcott had it not been for me.” Perhaps it should be added that the young couple never regretted their hasty match, and that it is still a matter of pride to the living Glaziers that one of their family married a kinsman of the famous Roger Wolcott, who laid out the Wolcott road, as the ancient thoroughfare is still called.—Annie A. Preston, in Springfield (Mass.) Republican. A CUTE CROW,

He lied a Superabundance of Business Sagacity. Farmer Crowder had finished planting' his corn, but his heart was heavy. He knew that the crows were whetting their bills to pull up the corn as soon as it appeared above the surface. “I tell you how to get away with the crows,” said Neighbor Stokes. “How?” “Get you a gallon of mean whisky and soak some corn in it till it gets full of the stuff, and then scatter it broadcast in the field. The black rascals will eat it and get drunk, and then you can catch ’em and pull their heads off. That beats pizen or shootin’. ” In a few days Farmer Crowder met his friend Stokes. “Well, how’s crops?” queried Stokes. “My corn’s bodaciously ruint,” replied Crowder, dolefully. “I tried that ’ere scheme o’ your’n, and it’s a humbug. I soaked the corn and scattered it one day, and the next m%rnin’ I went down to the new groun’ to see how it worked.” “Found ’em drunk, eh?” “Found nothin’. I heard a dickens of a fuss down nigh the branch and went to see what it was. Thar was a dad-blasted old crow what had gathered up aU the whisky corn and had it on a stump, and he was retailin’ it out to the others, givin’ ’em one gTain of that sort fur three grains of my planted corn, and dinged if they hadn’t been and clawed up that hull field by sections."—Atlanta Journal.

PROTECTION AXIOMS. ChmUMM a Came—Foreign Trades Min. take—Wool Article Is American Econo* mist Dissected. A good example of protectionist logic and belief is supplied by the American Economist of Jnly 37th, in a two and a half page article entitled "Cheap Sheep Raising.” The object of the writer is to explain why it is that wool is produced more cheaply in Australia than in this cou ntry. He takes it for granted that if, because of natural and artificial advantages, wool can be produced cheaper there than here, it becomes the duty of all sensible Americans to shut themselves off, by a high tariff, from the cheap wool in order to force themselves to clothe themselves in the dear wool grown in this country. The axioms on which the argument rcfsts are: 1. Cheapness is a curse. 3. Nothing should be purchased from abroad, no matter at what little cost, which we can produce, no matter at how great a cost. From these axioms it follows that all commerce and trade across the boundary lines between countries is' a mistake, because we never purchase foreign articles except when they are cheaper than those produced at home, and because we can, by hot-houses or other artificial means, produce any article at home. But few protectionists are consistent enough to follow their logic to this conclusion, although some of their apostles condemn all international trade and one has gone so far as to wish that oceans were walls of fire. There can be no doubt about the conclusion. If cheapness, in itself, is a curse and protective duties, as originally conceived, are blessings then it must follow that foreign trade is harmful. If it be bad policy for us to purchase wool in Australia, where it can be grown at say 10 per cent, less cost than here, then it is also bad policy to purchase tea in China orcoffee in Java, where they can be produced for say 90 per cent, less than heye. In either case the theory and the argument are the same; they differ only in degree. The free traders say all trade is beneficial to both parties and both countries participating in it. The protectionist, if he be consistent, laments the fact that there are ocean freight steamers.

1 hat there may be no misrepresentation, we quote some of the statements from this article in the American Economist: “The chief characteristic of sheep raising in Australia is its cheapness. Cheap land, cheap labor and cheap methods can be found in every branch of the Antipodean wool production. The shearer is a cheap man; the shepherd is a cheap man. One such man would care for as many as 5.000 or 10,000 sheep in a single field. His pay is five dollars per week and ‘ration^’ which consist of a small quantity of flour, sugar, tea and meat. “His duties, though tedious, perhaps, ace not onerous. No food has to be provided for the Australian sheep. They feed themselves on the native grasses. Another element of cheapness consists in the land itself, which is valued at only 85. per acre if it will not carry one sheep; at 810, if carrying one sheep; at 815, if carrying one and a half sheep, and 820 per acre if the land carries two or more sheep. In one of the large Australian colonies there are 5,300,000 acres of land, held by over 146 persons, or 36,300 acres to each person. The cheap land is not taxed at all until its value reaches 812,500, when it is subject to a tax of one and a quarter per cent, above that amount. But the end is not yet. There is more cheapness. The sheep are shorn by machinery. The time occupied in clipping a sheep varies from five to nine minutes. The machine-shorn sheep yield now over six ounces more wool than the handshorn sheep. One kind of machine is used in as many as 450 different sheds and has been used upon upward of 70,000,000 sheep. Six ounces of wool from each one of these sheep means almost 10.000 bales more wool caused by the use of this one machine. The climate of Australia certainly favors the sheep industry, because' the sheep remain out of doors without any covering year in and year out, thus constituting another element of cheapness. Can the American wool grower complete with such wool raised at such little cost? The only element lacking to successful competition on the part of the American sheep farmer is the American aversion to cheapness, except on the part of the democratic free traders, who would cheapeu everything that we produce by cheapening the value of the labor that produces it!”

The article, however, is not entirely consistent with itself. A close examination of the statements reveals the fact that Australian is cheaper than American wool, not so much because wages are low^r there (which is doubtful) nor because the climate is more favorable j(which is also doubtful as compared with that of Texas and California), but because the wool growers are more enterprising and have adopted more scientific means and methods. The writer tells us that “the great curse of the country is drought, which has caused the loss of teas of thousands of sheep and cattle in a single season.” To overcome this drawback dams used to be built to store water; but since 1886 artesian wells have l>een drilled at great cost. “On one sheep station j alone, Thuralgpona, as much as 8150,000 was spent in sinking three wells. ; One of these wells yields 3,000,000 gallons of water every twenty-four hours; another one yields 3,500,000 gallons.” This station “covers a.n area of 2,100 miles.” “Let any person pause and think what this means,” says the writer sorrowfully. “It means that an abundance of water tha t can be turned from these and from other wells upon the land, rendering the grass more nutritious and more abundant. It means that where land has been carrying one sheep to every two acres there is a possibility of its carrying two sheep to every one acre, and of increasing the wool product four-fold.” Then he explains how che&p it is to haul wool to market without railroads. An illustration shows two men and fourteen bullocks taking a two-wheeled

cart or wagon filled with the hales oi wool from Gordon Downs to the seaport of Rockhampton, a distance of 300 miles. The writer designates this illustration as “cheap hauling of wool to market.’’ Our wool growers are at liberty to return to this antiquated way of marketing wools if they think it is cheaper. They can scarcely compete with railroads, which carry their wools 1,000 miles for 1 or 3 cents per pound. Another large illustration is entitled “cheap shearing by machinery.” Six men are seen at work in a large building provided with modern machinery for shearing sheep. The writer says: “It is not necessary to go into details descriptive of the different machines; they are merely shown to illustrate the cheap methods with which the American sheep owners who have very small flocks and cannot afford to erect expensive machines are unable to compete.” . As often happens, protection is here used to excuse the slouchy methods and natural disadvantages of our own producers. If we are unable to compete because we have not the latest improvements. We need protection from those who are now enterprising and scientific in their methods. It is also probable that we can fine sheep in the United States grazing on land that has cost less than $30, yep. less than $5 per acre. Perhaps w« might even find shepherds receiving less than $5 per week and rations with a “present of a pound of tobacco for every wild dog or ‘dingo’ that he may kill.” • Certainly some of our wool producers woulk not speak of a “cheap water supply” from wells costing $50,000 each. The readers of the Economist ar« used to such“rot” and will probably see no inconsistencies in this article. Credulity is their strong point. It is not strange that there is in this country but one “professor” of political economy who even pretends to believe in protection. He teaches in a private college. Rut even this “professor” (without a degree) says that protection has nothing to do with wages. THE FREE ZONE.

It Is Recorded as a Terror of Local Merchants on the American Side. The Washington ' correspondent of a McKinley organ speaks of the ‘‘free zone” in Mexico as “the terror of local merchants on this side of the border.” That is to say, the terror of American merchants in towns along the Rio Grande. Why their terror? It is easilyexplained. The free zone is & strip twelve miles wide on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande. Into that strip goods may be imported upon payment of only onetenth of the full Mexican duties. As a consequence Americans can cross the river and buy goods which have paid only light duties and thus save a good deal of money if they can get home with the goods without being stopped by American custom house officers. It is because the temptation to buy goods on the Mexican side and smuggle them across is very strong that the free zone is a terror to American merchants. But why should there be any temptation at all to smuggle the goods. The great professors of protectionist political economy, including Willian McKinley and Benjamin Harrison, teach that it is the foreigner who pays the duty and not the American consumer. It follows, of course, that the American consumer can gain nothing by passing by the door of the American merchant on the Rio Grande and buying from the Mexican Merchant in the free zone. This must be so if the doctrine -of the republican professors is true. But as a matter of fact Americans do buy from Mexican merchants and take the risk of getting caught and punished for smuggling. This is not a theory of the college professors and closet students whom our eminently practical republican brethren hold in contempt. It is a hard fact—the verv sort of thing to which the protection economist is forever appealing. And this fact proves conclusively that the republican doctrine (not theory, of course, for 4your republican despises theofy) that the foreigner pays the tax is utterly false. It proves conclusively that the American consumer pays the ! American tariff tax. He would not take the trouble and run the risk of smuggling were it otherwise. This standing demonstration that their tariff doctrine is false and that the enormous McKinley taxes are piled on to the prices of domestic as well as foreign goods is extremely offensive to the republican brethren. Therefore they have been untiring in their efforts to induce Mexico to abolish the free zone. Thus far the Mexican government has not shown itself disposed to abolish this standing exposure of one of the staple falsehoods of the tariff robbers.—Chicago Herald.

The Clayton Platform. “The rtspublican parky,” says the Arkansas republican platform, “by it* policy of protection to American industries, has enabled the laboring man to demand and receive living wages foi his labor.” Then why this unreasonable spread of strikes and* boycotts? The repub* lican policy of protection to American industries is still preserved in the Me* Kinley law, not one paragraph or sec* tion of which has yet been changed by the democratic congress. If labor is demanding and receiving living wages, what reason can it give for its discontent? The republicans of Arkansas—as, indeed, of every other state in the union —should recognize the truth of history before they are again compelled by the people to acknowledge it. Thirty years of radical tariff legislation have implanted in the law special privileges to great combinations of wealth, by which certain large industries are enabled to influence the entire industrial market and declare big dividends on the basis of a limited output. * If the republicans of Arkansas are proud of this condition of things they are curiously constructed for patriots and hopelessly inoculated with Powell Claytonisni.— St. Louis Republic*
