now the tariff may have something to do with the building up of our homes; our houses, both of the manufacturer and the workingman and the customer. How it benefits- tho consumer ' or customer we saw above; let us see how it works' - upon the manufacturer, "how upon the laborer;
Ji'ne effect npon these two classes of people is entirely contradictory. The
one must necessarily grow richer from
day to day by the free gift of the
smpney which the law gives to him every hour of his business time; and by
the screwed up price which his trust
combination puts upon every taxed article in his' store, and finally by the increased profit . which he derives from screwing down the wages of his workingmen to the -lowest point of mere possibility of not dying, and yet not living.' Let us see how this thrice and so mucfr prayed for tariff works in regard' to-tiie workingman in respect to the one class of goods Of which we speafcWhat does the tariff law say in regard to , the workingman? -What- privilege1 does it giyet to him? Not a word none at all. The law takes care of the goods and the factory boss, of the dealer, but the workingman is ignored. The boss increases his price from f 10 to $12.50;1
but he does not increase the wages of
man; In fact, 'having suffer
sd once from the Midas thirst after fold, he lowers them: as much as he can, and' as he is permitted to do by
r public opinion. And why not? The : law, though it forbids the importation
foreign -goods: except the tax is
paid; does not interfere with' the importation of the, workingman. What if the tailors of Indianapolis v refuse So work f or a miserable pittance? Are mere not- enough men of the same fcrade all over the world, from the faraway confines of Europe to vthose -of China men enouth, and ready to work, just to keep the- life in their bodies-who can' easily be brought :ver by contract; which afterward may
or may not be 'kept by the employers,
but iSirigidlyy enforced in respect to the employes? And, again; when we consider all the power of the trust com
nations which, having spread all ftver the city, can thus, deprive the workingman of his bread, and by one word shut in his face every shop or factory: doOr can we wonder -that ke will work nearly for anythingP - ,.; I suppose that "Old Koneer" can aowj at least partially, understand the sonnection between aVcnr homes 7 and me tariff;" and how it- is, that its effect is blightiner on our homes, from

V r
The crowd watched in silence the laying of the corner-stone by Chas. M. Travis, Department Commander of the Indiana Department, A. R. The doenments were consigned to their resting place, arid then the stone was placed in position in accordance with the ritual of the G. A. R. In performing the ritual rites Commander Travis was assisted by the ofacers of the
Department, and by the Presidents re
spectively of the Sons of Veterans and the Woman's Relief Corps. . When the stone had been placed in position the national flag was raised, and the "Star Spangled Banner" sunjpby Mrs. Zelda Seguiu-Wal-lace. The imposing ceremony, which was too far within the scaffolding to be dearly appreciated by all, ended with the firing of:a salute. Speaking from;, the platform was then resumed. Governor Hoyey, as the presiding officer of the occasionmade a- brief address. He
said: 5 -;
"We have assembled to-day to celebrate the laying of the corner-stone of the monument dedicated to the soldiers and sailors of the.State of Indiana. Monuments are the evidence of the earliest labor and art of man. Throughout Europe, Asia, Africa and America tttey are
found scattered without even a lecrend to
tell of the cause, of their erection. The simple mound of earth, the caiin, the pyramids, Still stand the ravages of untold centuries; whilst the shaft, the obelisk, the Pantheon, and many other remains- of cultivated art meet the eye in almost every part of the civilized world. '"They have, no doubt, been built to commemorate great events, or to glorify and satisfy the pride, pomp and vanity of con querors, kinga and emperors. Few, if any, will be found in any age or country which have been erected as tributes of honor to the common race of men. ... . o "The laying of the corner-stone,for which we are assembled, in the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, is intended to confer a lasting honor, on all who have serv-sd our country from the first Indian war within the State to. those who Jiad the great honor to participate in the suppression of the late grand and terrible rebellion. It will be the monument of Indiana's heroic men, liv
ing or dead.8 , . ... ;; "Tbe losses on both sides during the war would not fall short of two millions by battle and disease, and to-day of all that vast nost of combatants who marched to the field there are probably not exceeding two millions, North and South, who are now living. The late rebellion has left us one people,, one consolidated nation ; has. torn the shackles off of more than four millions of people, who are now enjoying all the rights of freemen, and has wiped out forever 4u the United States the name of rslave.' . . ' "put Of the vast number of soldiei's sent by this State there are now remaini ng only about 50,000,. and it would be safe to say that of that number at least 40,000 are suffering with disease and broken censtitutionsoaused by severe service in the field, Of all those who were engaged in the active service, few will bo found whose health has not been shattered, and whose lives have not been shortened from teucto

the olose of the war fully sustains this assertion. . "It seems to me t&at no duty could be more honorable or imperative than for Our nation to shield and protect our herpes in their declining years, and our veterans should command their representatives in Congress to no longer delay this sacred duty. "What a volume the history of the soldiers of Indiana would make ! Romance and fiction would pale when compared with their heroic and chivalric deeds. Privations, haidships and sufferings that no pen can describe have been borne by the brave men whose services we aro now hon oring by the erection of this beautiful monument. Well may Our people bB proud of their sons and perpetuate their glorious deeds, and may the sons of our . veterans learn a great and solemn lesson from tho patriotism and devotion of their, fathers. Our people through coming generations will gaze on this magnificent memento with emotions of patriotism and pride.". A song,- "Dedication, " written for the occasion by Charles M. Walker, of the Journal, was sung, the chorus assisting. General M. D. Mansou, of Crawf ordsville a hero of two wars, was then presented. He spoke eloquently as follows: "No country on earth can Justly lay higher claims to the devotion ... valor and patriotism of her citizens, than the United States, in the early struggles of the settlers of our Territories, there Were shown acts of daring and feats of valor which make the histories of those times read like romances. When it has been found necessary to goto war, in order to settle any question which caused differences to justify such, action, the deman ds of the occasion have always been fully and completely met by our people. To defend the flag from foreign foes and teach the world to respect our country's rights has always been our proud claim. When on the 15th day of April, 1S61, the sad news was telegraphed over the country that the American ilag had been fired upon and the blood of American citizen shed on American soil, the people were aroused all over tho land. The young and old, the rich and poor, the great and small all Indianians knew there was a great wrong perpetrated and determined that it should be righted. . With one voice they registered a vow in heaven to maintain the unity of the States, the rights of the people, the supremacy of the constitution, the honor and dignity of the flag. During the French-revolu tion and in 1791, at a time when it is said to have been contended by the medical profession that a weak, enfeebled and dying person might be restored by the transfusion of blood from the veins of a healthy and vigorous person, an immense audience was assembled, and during tho delivery before that audience of an oration, by one of the most remarkable statesmen of history, all of a sudden he fell prostrate to the aarth and the rumor ran through the vast assembly of the people who were hanging on his utterances as the stroke of divinity that Mirabeau was dying for the want Of blood." A ydung and enthusiastic Frenchman threw off his coat, laid bare his arms and rushed through the astonished and breathless crowd, cry
ing; J'Oh, take! Oh, take my blood i but
let the life of tho champion of the rights of tho people be preserved!" And thus did the people of the Siate of Indiana rush, at the oall of the. cojjhtiy, demanding as determinedly and. as enthusiastically as did that young FrenchmanOh, take ! Oh, take our blood ! but let the life of the Nation, the unity; of States and. the flag of the country be pre served 1" Scarcely had the notes of alarm been received by . our people, when the President of the United States called for 75,000 soldiers, to execute the laws and protect the rights ofhe citizens. Indiana's quota of the call ror troopB was less than 3,000 men. That great war governor and patriotic citizen of Indiana, Oliver P. Morton, called upon the people of the State for sixty companies of troops, and in fortyeight hours that call was responded to by more than a sufficient number of men to make up the full complement. These sixty companies were , immediately organized into , six regiments. Indiana had furnished five regiments during the Mexican
war, anu to ayoiu contusion ana Keep up, the military record Of the State in nuraer-. ical order," the new regiments were numbered, beginning at the point arrived at
with the close of the war with Mexico. The
Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth 'and Eleventh Regiments, therefore, became a
part of the military history of the State. s
.... .. . . 4i . "This monument, now being erected in the State of Indiana, in pursuance with a law passed by her legislature, and in' full accord with the feelings and wishes of all her people the placing , of whose cornerstone is so justly made the occasion of such grand ceremony and patriotic demonstration is to perpetuate, through all time, the memory of the patriotism, courage and valor of all the soldiers and sailors from this State in all the wars that have taken place since her organization as a Terri tory and Sfiate in which her citizens as soldiers and, sailors have participated. "Permit me to ask all within the sound of my voice to view for just an instant, the greatness of this occasion. Let 'your minds be occupied for a moment only, with the grandeur and glory of the position of oUr own Indiana in the groat galaxy of States, This day she has made it possible, through a solemn enactment of our legislature, . to have laid the corner stone of a groat monument, whose splendid shaft, though it pierce the clouds, cannot rise higher titan her position among the States of .the United States. ... "Now in the presence of this vast assembly of comrades and citizens, Comrade Benjamin Harrison, late a resident and soldier of our State, and now the honored President of the United States, who has honored this occasion with his presencelet me say that I hope arid trust Indiana may alwa5Ts have glorious sons in the future, as she has had in the past, who will readily and willingly vindicate her honor, and the honor and glory of the United States, on every battle field -and in every battle that may be f ought in this country to maintain the principles of civil and constitutional liberty during all the ages to come." . ,: . w.. rf . . . ..; Hail Columbia" came in appropriately here, sang by a quartette, with the chorus and bands assisting. Gen. John Coburn also delivered an address. . Gen. Harrison was then formally presented to the assembled host, who cheered him with great vigor. Col. Geo. W.. Harvey, of Danville, Commandor of the Sons of Veterans, also delivered a brief address. President Harrison spoke as follows: "Mr. President and Fellow Citizens I did not expect to make any address on this occasion. It would have been pleasant, if I could have found leisure to make suitable preparation, to have accepted the invitation of tho committee having these exercises in charge, to deliver an oration. I would have folt it an honor to associate , my narao with an. occasion, so great as this. Public duties, however, prevented the acceptance of the invitation, and I could only promise to bo present with you to-day. It seemed to me most appropriate that I should take part with my fellow-citizens of Indiana in this great ceremony. There have been few occasions in the' history of our State so full of interest, so magnificent, so inspiring, as that which we now witness, Tho suggestion that a monument should he buildcd to commemorate the valor and heroism of those soldiers of Indiana who
gave their lives for the flag, attracted my interest from the beginning. Five years ago last January, when the people assembled in the opera house yonder to unveil the statue which had been worthily set up to Our great war Governor, i ventured to express the hope that near by it, as a twin expression of one great sentimcint, there might be builded a noble shaft, not to any man, not to bear on any of its majestic faces the name of a man, but a monument about which tho sons of veterans, the mothers of our dead, the widows that are yet with us, might gather, and, pointing to the stately shaft, say : ..'There is his monument.' The hope expressed that day is realized now, "I congratulate the people of Indiana that our Legislature has generously met tho expectations of our patriotic people. I congratulate the commission having this groat Work in charge, that they have secured a design which will nob suffer under the criticism of the best artists of the world. 1 congratulate you that a monument so Costly as to show that we value that which it commemorates, so artistic as to express the sentiment which evoked it, is to stand in the capital of Indiana, Does any one say there is wastefulness here? My countrymen, two hundred thousand dollars has never passed and never will pass from the treasury of Indiana, that will give a better return than the expenditure for the erection of this monument. As I have witnessed these ceremonies and listened to these patriotic hymns, I haTe read in tho faces of tho men who stand about me that lifting up of the soul, that kindling of patriotic fire that has made me realize that on such occasions the nation is laying deep and strong its future security, "This is a monument by Indian a to Indiana soldiers. But I beg you to remember that they were only soldiers of Indiana until the enlistment oath was taken; that from that nouff until they came back to the generous State that had sent them forth they were soldiers of the Uuion. i5o .that it seemed to me not inappropriate that I should bring to you to-day the sympathy and cheer of the loyal people of all tho
States. No American citizen need avoid it
or pass it with unsympathetic eyes, for,my countrymen, it, does not commemorate a war of subjugation. There is not in the UnitedStates to-day a man who,if he realizes what has oecurgpd since the war. and has opened his soul to the sight of that which is to come, who will not feel that it is good for all our people that victory crowned the cause which this monument commemorates. I do seriously believe tha t if we can measure, among tne States, the benefit resulting from the preservation of the Union, the rebellious States have the larger share. It destroyed an institution that' was their destruction... It opened the. way for a commercial life that, if they will only embrace it, and the light, means to them a development that shall rival the best attainments of the greatest of our States. . . "And now let me thank you for your pleasant greeting. I have felt lifted up by this occasion. It seems to me that our spirits have been borne up to meet those of the dead and glorified, and that from this place we shall go to our homes more resolutely set in our purpose as citizens to conservo the peace and welfare of our neighborhoods, to hold up the dignity and honor of our free institutions, and to see that no harm shall come to our country whether from internal dissensions or from the ag
gressions of a foreign foe."

PARALLELS0F FACTS. N. Y. World. Under the law as enacted by Congress, El Paso smelters import Mexican silver-lead ores in- competition with the ores of Montana and the other Bilver-producing States. The mineowners of those States do not like the law, and want the Administration to change it by a departmental ruling. - The law-making and law-ohanging power rests with Congress and not with the Administration, every member of which is bound by his oath to enforce the laws as Congress has enacted them. ; ' But the- Administration is in a p -litical strait Its majority in Congress is very small and it is anxious to increase it' by the election of Republicans exclusively from the Northwest ern States. v z.. The mine-owners offer the coveted seats to the Administration in return for a Treasury -ruling which shall shut out the Mexican ores and ruin the business of the El Paso smelters for the benefit of the Montana men. That is to say, they offer to sell, votes for privileges of pecuniary yalue to then -selves, which privileges can only be secured to them by a usurpation of the law-making power on the part of the Administration, and it is currently re ported that the Administration has decided to make the bargain. And why not? 4 Is there any moi e harm in buying Congressional" elections than there was in buying the Presidency ? Is it any worse to rob ah El. Paso man for the benefit of a Montana man than to rob all the consumers in the country for the benefit- of a ring of corporate and Trust monopolists? Is it any more wicked for Secretary Windom to set aside-the law in order to gain support for his party ihan for Commissioner Tanner to construe pen faon laws awry and give pet pension agents unlawful advantage in order to hold the "soldier vote" for Harrison in 1892? Go to. Let us be consistent.

TOO LATE.
A Story of Si Valentine's.
CHAPTER
The summer weeks . crept lazily away, and still Lyon Leslie lingered in Thorpe, the country town in which the recruiting party to which he belonged was stationed, , . ' Scarcely a day had passed, without the. pair meeting ; but it was only when quite alone that Lyon -s ; manner betrayed the lover. Kis words, even in his- tenderest moods; never betrayed his caution, He had not yet asked the gir he loved to be his wife. ' Mrs. Thanot had lately placed more restriction on her daughter's movements ; she watched events anxiously. The man is trifling with her, John," she said to her husband; 41 he looks down upon us." ''JSbnsense, Mary, 11 rejoined Mr, Thanet, lightly. 4He is only Scotch and canny; I like him, and to me at least he has never shown the least 'upishness.' He often comes into my office and smoks a clay with me." A week later Lyon Leslie left Thorpe, recalled to his regiment, he said ; but Nell did not know, nor did her father, of a certain short but pertinent note, sent by Mrs. Thanet the night of the above conversation to the young man's quarters, and which received , an answer not much to that lady's satisfaction from one point of view, but very much from the other. If, the writer said, he had been led beyond discretion in his admiration for Miss Helen Thanet, he would be the sufferer, and he alone, for he was sure the young lady was too young to understand the tender passion ; and, when she did, he was certain she
wouia bestow, ner neart on a rarmore
deserving object than his kind and wise friend's unworthy acquaintance
Lyon Leslie.
That was alL A tiny postscript in
formed Mrs. Thanet that the writer
would hae to rejoin his regiment in a
few days ; but he would do himself the
pleasure of making his adieu in per
son. .
Mrs. Than et was a, wise woman ; she said nothing of the letter or its con
tents to Nell ; but, when Lyon : called to say farewell, he found the ladies
were not at home.
Nell heard pf his approaching departure from Mrs. Hammond, and that
not until two days before the event.
She said very little; she was not a gir
given to many words. Just for the
moment sh e looked stunned ; just for
the moment her face betrayed her
heart
For two days Nell's cheeks showed
n ot a tinge of .col or. Her mouth was
hard set, and the deep hasel of her eyes glowed with the fire of fierce long
ing ana unrest; ,w
Her mother watched her anxiously;
but she made ho effort to win her
child's confidence.
, .Time enough,", she said to herself,
4whon I see how she bears it."
Hoping, yet fearing, to meet the
girl he had the heart to treat so callously, Lyon Leslie made a round of
farewell calls; but chance did not favor
him, and Mrs. Thanet was on her
guard. She kept Nell at home busily engaged in . preparing her brother Randall's wardrobe for his approaching departure for London, . where he was to enter ...University college aga
medical student
; iyon was to leave oy tne morning
tram on Thursday; so Randall, to
whom the relations between his sister
and the gay young soldier had been a
mere flirtation, informed his mother,
Towards the evening, Mrs. Thanet de
sired her daughter to ask at the rail

for a. small parcel which she expected
By tne late train.
it was a dull misty, evening, a mel
ancholy autumn gloaming. Neil got
the parcel and was about to leave the
place; but, meeting an acquaintance,
stopped for a few moments' chat. The
moments grew to half an hour. She
was recalled to the lapse of time by
the arrival of some luggage for the last train to London, and, before she
could leave the platform, she . cam
face to face with fcyon Leslie. Her cheeks were not colorless now, but there was neither flurry nor self consciousness in her manner. She stood very still,-as if waiting for Lyon to speak . " " ..1 Only a moment he was at fault; bul he rallied quickly, and with an oft band air, held put his hand, saying BW lucky f ' T thought! war hot to sfra you again.

"It was from a stranger I heard you

A swift glance round showed Lyon that, in tho bustle and hurry none .observed them. He bent, rapidly k loscd 1 u. i mid was 0 it. As in a. dream, she walked home,
But, if idle tongues should blame me, Only say yon know me true." ' Randall was to leave for. University College the first week in October. It was now the middle of September. For a few days after Lyon tesli6's departure, Nell was absent and: silent. Of late her f bursts of merriment had been few and . fa,r between; now even her smiles became rare. She shrank from smiling people, and yet she bore the questioning of inquisitive friends unflinchingly, though answering shortly, and beside the pointi Her father thought she was fretting at the prospect of parting with her twin brother; but her mother read : her child's heirt better. She watched her silently. P A great gloom had fallen upon the house. Rondall was entering on aprofession uncongenial to Ms tastes; he was parting'from his twin-sister; the being ho loved best ..." in all ther world; and that sister was distraite and,- for the first time in her life; unresponsive to his sorrow.. . 4Neli, " he said to her, the night before his departure, I wish ypu were coming with me: I could pass the ordeal better.' , " A. -j ; 'So do I, Randall." : :- The same words had been said over and oyer again by the brother and sister; but beyond the wish not a thought or hope of such an eventuality had occurred to eitheiT r " SVomen can learn to be doctors, " she added, as if , revolving a Ithpught in her mind, V 1 , Yes, and do, tool You would make a good one Nell; you have such a quick insight into things. You would be grand at diagnosia;"' . .'Would ypu like me to become a mediical student with you, Randall?'v "It would beawfully jolly for me," he said, with & man's; selfishness ; "and indeed, now: I think" ot ; it, I wonder you don't! Women lead very useful lives, unless they marry; and you : might make yours a grand one. " i(D6 you know, fimdall I should
