THE BROKEJi HOCSE KEY. The young and pretty bride feltworriid aad out of sorts. Only a short eight -wrecks ago she had married her dear Gua and had followed him to his borne in W-and already he had begun to neglect her, to go outof an evening, and to leave her alone in the big boose. He had tried to convince her th at he could not altogether neglect his former friends and companions, and that she ought not to object to his meeting them on two evenings every week, and to pass an agreeable hour in their company over a friendly game of whist; but she simply did not comprehend how be could enjoy himself without her, how he could even think of going anywhere without taking her along. "Oh! the dreadful evenings 1 have to *p»ud,** she complained, with tears in her eyes. “I am obliged to sit here all alone because I have as yet had no 6 chance to form any acquaintances here. Naturally, I get homesick. Often I feel like leaving everything and taking the train home tq my parents.** “Would it cot be better, darling, ff you went to bed instead and tried to sleep?** ® “That is just where the trouble is.** she replied, still in tears; “1 am afraid. Our servant always sleeps way up in the attic. She would not even hear were anything to happen to me.’y *'Why, you^foolish child, what is there to be afraid of; what is going to happen?** 'tiAre not the papers every day full of burglaries and robberies?*’ she persisted. “Think of tfce many strangers that flock to a well-knowm health resort like this. Nothing is impossible under such circumstances!** The husband looked thoughtfully at his sweet bride. “ N'o, dear. 1 do not want you to frighten yourself into illness. 1 promise you herewith, of my own free will (the poor fellow could'not help heaving a sigh as he said this) to i^turn promptly at 11 o'clock whenever 1 go to meet my friends. It is impossible for me to withdraw myself from their society al- ' together, for they would ridicule and make fun of me,’ and call me ‘henpecked.’ Burglars rarely put in their •prparanee before the hour of 11, the streets l>eicg full of life and traffic. Good-by. darling, anti please do not feel ( lonesome." P Annie sighed and submitted resignedly to her fate. She read awhile; then the took up her embroidery, a present for her mother; she played a game of solitaire, and finally she paced restlessly up anti down the room. At home there bad been a large family circle; ienee it was very trying to her to be (eft so much to herself in her hew surroundings. A l ten o'clock even the familiar noises in the kitchen ceased, for the servant tiad gone upstair* to her attic, and the poor woman felt the old feeling of distress* mid fright creep over her. The titling-room was located to the rear of the bouse, and there was a hallway lietween it and the front? rooms. She therefore could not hear the usual street noises. A deathdilte silence reigned in the room. Tired and yet excited she threw herself on the lounge. She sadly reflected why beer houses and can! parties had been called into existence. *Bv and by her thoughts became more and more confused, and •he felKnto a sou ml slumber. } It >vas 11:03 o'clock when G us arrived' breathlessly aud post hadte at his house door aud tried to fit his key.* in to the iock.

r.H>r follow! llad evil s.;nrits con* fpiled to pet him into trouble ? Click — the key broke in two ami the bit •tuck fast iu the keyhole, handle ami barrel alone remained in his hands. He knocked; he called; Jje knocked again, and louder, for unfortunately there was no house l»cll—all in vain. “I hardly think toy wife has retinal , ar early as this/’ he reflected, **but of courts* she is in the sitting-room, ami more likely she cannot hear me.” Once more he. jknocked—-this time very loml —he called until his voice was hoarse. ; So reply! | To fill his cup of misery to the briiu j !^it ciimtupnml lb rain, and he was with- | lout an umbrella. “Perhaps Annie lias pone to bed after ! all,” he thought, shiverkigaud dripping S wet. “Shall I go to a hotel? No! What would the jieopk* think? Tbeonly pUue j ^that I know of that may still bo open ! ' is the railway depot, for there is a train j ... arriving at raiduight," He went down the street in the pouring rain, and at last found himself in tin* waiting-room of th«* station. „ j “A glass of beer, sir?” asked the enterprising waiter. <ius shook himself. I He felt chilly, “Punch.” he said, “and make it hot!” lie drank one glass ami then another, and still another, to w hile J away the time. He &as the only person there. In due time the last train hail arrived. and he could stay no longer. They •were about to close up. , la sheer desperation he looked at his ■watch. It was ono o’clock when he emerged I into the street, and it had ceased to rain. The full moon seemed tb grin and! wink at him maliciously through the clouds, as though she meant to say: “See, old man. it serves you right! Why must you go out to play cards and leave your wife at home in loneliness?** ’ • la spite of the repeated potations he stil felt chilly. “There is no help for it but a good run,** he said to himself, starting on a lively trot through the city; first down one street, then up another; through the suburbs until he reached the open country, and haek again w ithout stop or rest for fear of catching * cold. The town clock strhek the hour of four. “It is still too early to get into the house,** he said, “the front door is never unlocked before mix o’clock! Will they be unable to unlock the door, anyway? A piece of my key sticks in the lock; the women are imprisoned and! cannot get out. But now I can stand it no longer. I must have somc1hii!ir lot to drink and sit down sane*1

where. There is a train at four o'clock,** and forthwith he once more wended his wsj to the railroad depot. A snog’ corner and a cup of hot coffee somewhat restored him. But he was very tired, and pretty soon he w an as sound asleep in his corner as his wife had been the night* before on her lounge. And how did his wife fare? She awoke in the middle of,the night with a start, almost frightened out of her wits by a horrid dream, in which her husband had appeared before her, wounded, bleeding, and torn by huge bloodhounds. Pretty' soon, however, she comprehended the situation. Her face bathed in tears, she paced restlessly up and down the room wringing her hands. “Oh, the wretch! To stay'out all night! Just to th|hk of it! Such a man has the effrontery to talk to me of love. Not I content to act like a villain, he even had | to make fun of me last night by pretending he would henceforth be home at 11 o'clock. Who would ever have thought him so base? They close the beer ! house after midnight, hence he cantaot t pretend to be playing cards there all ! night. Heaven only knows where he is spending thesnight, while I—! But ; hell find that 1 am not his dupe. 1 I shall leave him at owe. There is a | train at seven o’clocjfFin the morning, which 1 am goingfo take and go home to my parents”—amUso forth and so on. More wringingof her hands, more tears, more self-pity and accusations, until in her eyes her husband appeared a veritable Bluebeard. At five o’clock,She called tfij^ serving maid, whom she slent to the gaSrretfora \ alise. and commenced to pack. The maid said nothing, but she was surprised that her blaster had not risen and did not help his wife. However, she made the cofft.e and then went after a cab. The front door was wide open and a locksmith busy with the big lock when Annie appeared in the hall. The landlady ran Ito meet her, exclaiming in a flurry ot excitement: ”l)id you hear about it, madam? A thief was here last night and made an attempt to enter the house. Some one must have frightened him off. lie left a broken key stuck fast, in^he lock, and I was unable to unlock the door: I had to call from the window until I aroused a neighbor, who ran for a locksmith. Now I am going to have a patent lock put on and spoil their little game. But you look very pale, n#v dear madam. I am sorry to have frightened you with mv burglar story. Are you going to take a ride so early in the morning?” Annie nodded and passed on. She w as glad thnt the woman had not seen her valise, which her maid had already put- into the cab. “What a narrovy escape I had last night. How near I came being robbed —perhaps worse!” She was now thoroughly angry. “So much more reason for leaving the fellow, no matter the consequences! F< 3 the present I shall remain with myfpa rents.” Thus musing shei arrived af !the depot. Before purchasing her ticket she intended to leave her valise in the wait-ing-room. I Annie entered and made for an empty table, when suddenly— she dropped the valise and almost screamed aloud—wasn’t that' her husband. “her’t (Ius sitting there in a corner and snoring loud enough to make

evefybodydia the room smile at bis Snasal powers? He looked tired and worn and lips garments appeared damp. How did he pet here and why was he in sueii a dilapidated condition? She stood lor aj moment undecided and unable to tal^e her eyes off his drawn, worn out features. Suddenly the sleeper opened his eyes. Whatever the outcome she must axoid a scene in a public room. Anything but that! The waiters had more than once looked xvocderingly at the roan xx ho had drunk three cuj** of coffee ami then fallen sound asleep hours afro. Annie tried to appear quite unconcerned. am i took a seat beside her husband* ‘ Somehow her anger had suddenly vanished. : darling, xvhat brought me—I mean rather xvhat brought you— here?” he asked, astonished at the unexpected appearance of his wife, dressed for a journey. “Never mind. dear. Don’t bother •>fcbout tbit now.” she whispered. “Come, let us ride home, xvhere I will explain all.” Gus acquiesced in silence. His feet felt heavy and hardly able to carry his weight. He Was sick. All he could do was to a mg himself to a cab. And then explanations were in order. Annie hatlj no reason to doubt her husbahd’s narration of his adxentures during the might. and xvhat the landlady had told her about the broken key tended to corroborate and exonerate him. Rut he could not make out from her explanations xvhat had taken her to the railway station. He xvas, hoxvever. too ill to a|sk many questions. Arrived iat home she simply told the astonished! servants that “they had changed their mind and would not go away “because her husband, xvho had preceded (her to the depot, had been suddenly taken sick,” and sent -her after a physician. Gus was very sick; for two xveeks he could not leave his bed. A complicated and aggravated attack of influenza was the result of his experience during that ill-fated night, .Annie m?x-er left his bedside, and now it' was heir great care and tireless devoted nursing that opened his eyes as to the depth and unselfishness of her great love, for him. At last Gus got well, and though he would now and then go to hare a social game of whist, his ‘wife never again doubted him, even if he stayed out later than “11.”—From the German. that you have put on Glean you will shortly receive newt. 1771 patents on the meefcin sinking artesian

STEEL RAIL TRUST. Abratdl ttOmUr IMmM While the republicans ere asking this country to vote for higher duties on steel nils to protect our poor millionaire manufacturers it is well to inquire what use is being made of the 57.84 duty per ton now in force. The Iron Age,, of March 5, says? “Reports concerning the IS,000-ton order for Chili are again cropping up, and hare taken the shape that the business is credited to a western mill.” Another interesting report comesI > from England. It is the leading article j in Invention, a well known technical : journal published iu London. Its issue j of February 29 oon tains the following ! remarks: “During the past few weeks another j example of the strong foreign competi- ' tion with which our nation has to con- i tend has come before our eyes. We 1 refer to the mueh-talked-of rail order j . of 10,000 tons for Japan, which has j been placed with the Illinois Steel Co. ! So far as . we understand, the Illinois j Steel Co. (of Chicago) has undertaken , to produce rails delivered at New York, : close on to 1,000 miles from the locality where they are manufactured, at £4 7s. ; 6d. ($21.36) per ton. We believe this to , be the actual quotation given. In fact, ; j thS American firm undertook to supply I the contract and deliver (at the port of departure) for 7s. 6d. less than the 1 price quoted at the works by the Eng* j lish firms invited to compete. This is : j perhaps the first time we have had" I seriously to face this question in a j ; large way on the part of the United ’ States, and this must open our eyes to ’ the fact that American manufacturers : 1 are not likely to stop at the Japanese Orders secured by the Illinois Steel Co.” j According to this statement, the II- : k linois Steel Co., which is the western "branch of the steel rail combination, ; has undersold English manufacturers in Japan, and has undertaken to «je~ j liver 10,000 tons of steel rails, free on j board for shipment, at $21.26 per too, j the English bid having been $23.0$. ! ' The Iron Age's cable report of Febru ! ary 4. it may be noted, shows thav j $23.0$ is the price of English rails fret. | on board at Barrow. Now let us see what is the price of ? the Illinois Steel Co.’s rails to buyers ! in this country, the price at the com- j pany’s works: The Iron Age’s report j ! of February 4 from Chicago says: ‘The demand for steel rails is active for this season of the year. Quite a run of i 1,000-ton orders is reported. Quotations are as follows: Steel rails, $29 and upward, according to quantity.” Everybody familiar with the recent | history of the steel frail industry knows ; that the price has been fixed for-a long ‘ time past by the combination (ift which the Carnegie Steel Co. is the leading I manufacturer), and that this price for ; several months has been $2S at eastern j works and $29 at Chicago. Eastern rails are delivered at tide water for $2$. 75. These are the prices which railroad companies in this country have to pay. It is maintained by com- i bination agreement and is much higher, proportionately, than the prices of other similar products which are determined by ordinary ’competition. For example, the price of steel billets j at Pittsburgh works is only $17.25, and the cost of. manufacturing rails only slightly exceeds the cost of producing billets. The difference between $29 and $21.26 is $7.74; the duty is $7.84. This shows that 99 per cent of this duty is a tax j and that it is not paid bv foreigners, ; but primarily by our railroad compa- j nies, and eventually by the shippers and consumers of this country. Will they continue to believe - McKinley's parrot talk about the foreigner paying our tariff taxes? Will they think it necessary to still further protect the stsel rail trust while it is selling rails in the unprotected markets of this j world? These are questions which.! will be answered next November. Bybux W. Holt, i

THE WOOLEN INDUSTRY. Koorittchi That Are to Be Kept Up L’ntll After th* Elect too. The junior republican organ in this | titv published three or four days ago j the first of the series of “roorbachs” i which will embellish its columns from ' time to time, we suppose, until election day in November. In the statement to which we refer the Press ! asked every body to believe that the ! woolen industry was in a condition of collapse which would soon be followed by complete ruin and extinction. The j center of depression, the Press asserted, was Rockville. Conn.: “The scenes of the most staggering blow delivered to the woolen industry in the last few months is Rockville, where the five mills of that place are now running at such a rate that each employe is given only one day’s work a week. Even this is being- done at a I loss to the owners, but the misery that j will follow soon, when the mills may - be shut down entirely, is past all reck- j onlng." And in a startling exhibition of disr play type it was asserted that these mills were running on “one-eighth time.” • 'it1 The American Wool and Cotton Reporter, leading journal of the woolen trade, owned and edited by Frank P. Bennett, republican and protectionist, who was a member of the committee of Lawrence’s National Wool Growers’ association which recently prepared a schedule of wool duties to he included in the neat McKinley tariff bill, is moved to make an emphatic protest against this “lot of gross misrepresentations and misstatementa ” The Reporter says: “In the article in question the statement is made that the men’s fine wear worsted mills at Rockville—the Rock, American, Hockanum, New England and Springville—are running on ‘oneeighth time.* This statement is utterly false, as any one wouM find who desired to obtain the true facta “The New York representative* of the last three mills named characterise the articles ms 'all rot,* and ‘untruthful,* end the representative of the Rock Manufacturing Co. has denounced it in

that, instead of th*ir mills running M one-eighth itinie, they are running on two-thirds time, 40 hours, which was tile unanimous agreement entered into recently. “They farther assert that the orders whieh they hare received to date for worsteds are about equal to those of the previous fall season, and that unless present conditions change materially there is every reason for believing that they will be able to continue run* ning on their present schedule throughout the entire year, with strong prob abilities of a return, before many months, to full time. The product of these mills is the very highest grade of strictly pure worsted fabrics, whose reputation is national and standard.” It is also shown that a mill reported by the Press to be running now on one-quarter time, and two others reported as having recently “shut down” for lack of work, “retired from business at the close of 1895.” So much for this attempt to mislead the public. The chief cause of any reduction of output which may have been made recently in certain branches of the woolen industry has been renewed tariff agitation by the republican party. The industry was in fair eon* ditioo a few months ago. The first of the several hundred increases of wages reported between March and August last year was made in one of the largest of the woolen feetories, and increases in more than 60 prominent mills were announced afterward by ! the trade journals. The output of the mills was very large. Great quantities Of fine foreign wool, in addition to the domestic supply, were consumed. During the calendar year 1S95 there were imported 126,485,96$ pounds of clothing wool, as against only 10,635,469 pounds in the fiscal year 1394 and 35.403,021 pounds in the fiscal year 1393, ! previous to the panic. Wool is import- | ed to be used in the manufacture of woolen goods. But as the time for the reassembling j of congress drew near, the industry I was somewhat affected by a weaken- j ing of Confidence, due mainly to uncertainty as to %4riff legislation which | might increase largely the cost of raw j material. It is well known that just | before the beginning of the session Mr. Reed was opposed to any revival of the tariff question this year, because business interests woul^l be I benefited by a “lest” At that time also Mr. Aldrich, of Rhode Island, re- I publican tariff leader in the senate, said; “Any further agitation of the tariff | question by this congress would 'be j simply suicide for the republicans. Xo tariff bill can pass the senate and none j can be approved by the president In j addition to that, I am firmly convinced that the business interests of the country imperatively demand an j absolute rest from all tariff legislation.” Such a rest was especially needed by the woolen industry, but it was not granted. The republicans reported and passed a “bill taking wool from the free list and increasing the cost of the woolen manufacturers' raw material by 42H per Cent. At the same time they openly promised that in 1893 they would largely increase the tax, making it about 75 per cent. For along time it was not known whether the bilL would b<ej passed in the senate. In fact, it is still pending there,' although it may be regarded as dead. But the promise still lives^anfi the woolen manufacturer looks forward to two or three years of tariff agitation, continually disturbing the foundations of, his business and threatening to, change them radically.—X. Y. Times.

CONSISTENCY. A Schema t» (ilve I'avlnr Companies • i Mouopolr In Near York. A bill has. been introduced in the ; New Yqrk legislature to prohibit the • use of foreign Wood, asphalt, or other I materials in making pavements in that state. The purpose of the . proposed j law is to shut out Trinidad asphalt and a species of Australian woqd which . has recently been used in” New York city, and thus give the owners of American asphalt mines and wood suitable for paving blocks ft complete monopoly. The friends 6f this measure are more j consistent than the protectionists in j congress who want to shut out foreign I goods by tariff taxes. If the competi- j tion of imported asphalt or wood is an injury to the American people, it is ; only a half way remedy, to impose s heavy dnties on those articles. Abso- j lute prohibition is the simplest and 1 surest way of protecting '.he home i producer. Of course the home con- ; suraers might kick and say that they j did not want to be corapelhid to pay ; the high prices which would be charged j by ‘the men who controllel the do* ! mestic product. But the people who , buy things are never considered when j tariffs are being raised, so their com- j plaints need not be listened o. If the state of New York decides to prohibit the use of foreign asphalt ed paving blocks, it will set a gra ad ea ample for j the McKinleyitesof the whole country PROSPERITY. Its foandttloB 11 la K«-clprt <*1 Trad* j Wit boat Htch Taxes The selfish idea that part of the peo- | pie can be permanently benefited at j the expense of all the others is respon- j sible for protection schemas for getting rich through taxation. If the merchants, manufacturers and workingmen who have in the past favored a high tariff because it prou bed them j a temporary advantage, could only see that their prosperity depends on the purchasing power of the turners, they would cease to support a police which has always had the effect of impoverishing the agricultural industry on which all other business depends. IJ high taxes swallow up the earnings of the farmers, the latter cannot buy the merchant's goods. The merchant in turn cannot buy from the manufacturers, who are. therefore, unable tc give the workingmen employment Sc that in the end the whole ]>eople sn> fer. It Is only through promoting the welfare of the farmers, by Lightening their tax burdens, that tin couattj
