The Steady March of Protection In the
South and West.
WHAT KEEPS THE SOUTH POOR?

We have given line upon line and
precept upon precept there little and
much more here and we doubt not
much good has been effected by what
to many may appear as repetitions, and
still the great problem of political
economy is just beginning to be UNDER
stood by the people ofthe South, and
they now realize that we must combine
the producing and manufacturing in
terests so as to make them mutually
beneficial.
Sectionalism has been almost our
ruin, and while we do not cherish it, or
wish to see it cherished, yet we do wish
to see our people, North and South,
prospering in business but we can see
no prosperity for the South until we
learn to produce our staples and give
employmentto our mechanics to make
what our people need. We want facto-
ries of every kind, but these factories
must have patronage, and, like charity,
this must begin at home. We remain
poor because we must have everything
from the North. We ploW our crops
with Northern plows; hitch our teams
with Northern made harness and chains 3;
cut our wood with Northern made
axes dress our lumber with Northern
made planes, Tor get the lumber AREA
dy dressed from the North); drive our
Northern made nails with Northern
made hammers, and paint our houses
with Northern made brushes dipped in
Northern made paint. In fact, we are
rocked in Northern made cradles,
wrapped in Northern made swad-
ding clothes, suck our pap of Northern
made starch, through Northern made
nipple, from a Northern made bottle ;
sit on Northern made chairs at Nor
thern made tables; called to eat by
Northern made bells, and sleep on
Northern made beds. We are educat-
ed from Northern books, are poisoned
by Northern physic, and beng quietly
laid in Northern made collins. our
minister, clothed in Northern made
clothes, takes our funeral text from a
Northern made Bible, and loving
hands in Northern made gloves, lower
US by Northern made ropes into our
Southern grave, dug with Northern
made tools; and our last resting place
is marked by a tombstone quarried,
dressed and carved at the North.
This policy is not the true one. We
must manufacture and patronize home
industries and home institutions. Then,
and not until then, can we expect to be
prosperous and independent as people
should be. Let our mechanics begin to
make all articles needed, and let our
people learn to patronlze and spend
their money with those who are willing
to build up, even though it should be
small at first, establishments for making
such articles and implements as our
people may need, Let our producers
and makers come together and work
together to build up and make each
other mutually prosperous. This is
Just what we need and what our people
must have. It can not be inaugurated
a day too soon. The quicker the better
for all concerned.-Ru Sun.

WAS HE In EARNEST =?

And so you think this Miss What's
her-name would be just as fast to marry
you If you were poor man, with no
expectations whatever, instead of be-
ing my nephew and supposed heir?"
There was hurt, indignant look
upon the frank young face that con-
fronted the speaker.
1.-THE young lady's name is Ashton,
and I never said she was fast to marry
me-"
Il beg your and the young lady's
pardon. You think that Miss Ashton
would be just as willing to marry you
if she knew you to be poor man ?"
II do. would stake nay life on the
sincerity and dislnterestednes of her
love-"
Leaning back in his chair, Mr.. Pop
pleton, senior, surveyed his nephew
with smile Of superior wisdom, whic b
had in it something of contemptuous
pity.
"Hau" that's what all you young
fellows say when you are in love; we
old fellows don't loose our heads so
easily.-And it's well for you we don't.
Why don't I make a fool of myself
about some woman, I'd like to know?'
:I'ye often wondered, uncle, why
you haven't married"
when I was at your age, was
poor ard had something else to think
of; and now that I'm old, I've got more
sense hope. There's Peter Comstock,
whose head is as gray as mine; he's
married a girl young enough to be his
daughter and a pretty life she leads
him. When Josiah Poppleton makes
such fool of himself, you may shave
his head, clash straightjacket on
him, and put him INTO lunatic hospi-
tal.u
The young man smiled, and then
looked grave.
"You object to Miss Ashton because
she is poor and dressmaker?"
Nothing Of the sort, Fred. I OBJ.
ject to her because she is mercenary."
'You have no right to say that, I'm.
Gle, when you have never even seen
her,"
81 could be surer of it if had known
her all my life," said the old gentle.
man, stoutly. "All such people are,
You don't believe it, Of course; but lei
her think you poor man, or let rich
one make her an offer, and you would
soon see."
Here Mr.. Poppleton, senior, glanced
at his watch.
You'll have to be lively, young
man, if you want to catch the next
train.-You will find the bills for col
lection on my desk. Wen talk the
matter over when you get back"
Mr.. Poppleton waited until he heare
the whistle Of the train that took his
nephew out of town, and then putting
on his hat, and buttoning up his coaI
with a resolute air, went out.
He walked very swiftly, passing
through several streets and around
various corners, until he came to the
house he was in search ola most I'M
pretending story-and-a-half affair, or
the faded green door ofwhich were these
words:
miss ASHTON, DKEssMAKER."
Mr.. Poppleton regarded it with lool
of stern disapproval, and then settling
his hat on his head with still NOR,
rcsolute air, marched up the steps an,
rang the bell.
| After waiting some little time, th
door opened, revealing to his bewIld ..
ed gaze the loveliest creature he hi

For Women Only.

The New York Sun gives the fol-
lowing notice of one of Mr.. Talmage's
questionable sermons, which kept his
hearers in a roar Of laughter:
Mr.. Talmage said, as he began
yesterdays sermon, that the reason he
had preached ten sermons to men and
none to women was that the women
are better than ;nen. He did not say
this out of compliment or in gallantry ;
although when women are bad they are
dreadful. [Laughter.] Statistics prove
this. They have fewer temptations,
are naturally reverential and loving,
and it is easier for them to become
Christians. '.They are the majority in
Church, on earth, and 1 suppose they
will be three-fourths, of the population
heaven" Ina beautiful homestead in
Bethany, widow was left to take
charge Of the premises. The pet of the
house was Mary, a younger sister, who
with book under her arm, has no ap-
pearance of anxiety or purturbation.-
Christ and several of his friends arrived
at the house. They did not keep him
waiting till they adjusted their dress,
and, after two or three knockings,
hasten to the door and say, why, is
that you?' No. They were ladies, and
always presentable, though they might
not have on their best. If we always
had on our best; our best would not be
worth putting on. [Laughter.] They
threw open the door and greeted Christ
with Good morning. Be seated"
Martha went off to the kitchen while
Mary, believing in division of labor,
said, martha, you go and cook, and
I'll be good" Laughter Something
went wrong in the kitchen. Perhaps
the fire wouldn't burn, or the bread
wouldn't bake, Or Martha scalded
hand. At any rate she lost her patience
and with besweated brow, and possibly
with pitcher in one hand and the tongs
the other, rushed the into presence Of
Christ, saying, Lord, dost thou not
care that my sister has left me to serve
alone?"
But Christ scolded not word. He
seemed to say, my dear woman don't
worry. Let the dinner go. Sit down
on the ottoman beside Mary, your
humble sister," When 8 man comes
home from business and sees his wife
worn out, he thinks she ought to have
been in Wall street and then she would
have something to worry her. He does
not know that she conducts univer-
sity, a clothing establishment, restau-
rant, a laundry, and a library; while
she is also health officer, police. and
and president Of her residence. [Great
Laughter.l
They have to contend with severe
economy. Ninety-nine out ola hun
bred are subjected to it. If man
smokes very expensive cigars and eats
costly dinners in New York, he is
exceedingly DESTROYS Of making five
dollars do the work of seven at home.
The wife is banker in the household;
she is president, cashier, teller and dis
count clerk and there is panic every
few weeks. [Laughter.l This severe
discipline will make heaven very at
tractive TO you. There will be no rents
to pay. Every man will live in his own
house, which will be mansion at that.
If Stewards Fifth Avenue mansion
we're lifted into the celestial city,
glorious, glorifed Lazarus, who sat in
rags on earth, would be ashamed to
enter it.

Of course this from the Hawkeye ::
'sDid you never" asked a transcen-
dental young lady just three weeks
from Vassar, of the West Hill young
man, ibid you never feel a vague, un-
restful yearning after the beyond? a
wild, strange, impulsive longing and
reaching out after an matchmaker"
And the West Hill man said he often

was trying to scratch square inch full
of hives. right between his shoulder
blades, and Just out of reach of any

to say that there is the door, and to ask
you to go. aa oHis
Mr.. Poppleton did not wait second
invitation. Eye
On reaching the corner he looked
back, just in time to catch glimpse of
his nephew going In. 'ell'
Feeling very much like one that had
been raised to great height and set
down very suddenly, Mr.. Poppleton
went home. a.
Going up to his own room, he march
ed to the mirror.
''Josiah Poppleton, he said, shak-
ing bis fist at the reflection there you
are ) fraud a dolt, an idiot, donky.-
You are a scoundrel of the darkest dye,
and if you were somebody else I'd
punch your head!"
Having thus relieved his feelings he
sat down.
Half an hour later he heard his
|nephew's well-known step on the walk,
Rushing to the head of the stairs, he
bawled out.
"John, say Pm sick, that Pm out,
that can't see anybody !"
But he was too late; Fred was in the
hall and half way up the stairs.
"Ah, uncle!" cried the young man,
with merry laugh, ''that was cum
ningly contrived plot of yours; the best
joke I've heard yet! The cream of it is
that Rose thought you were in earnest.
You acted you part SO naturally that ii
was some time before could make her
understand that you were only testing
her love for me. But she sees it all
now. You found Rose as true as steel,
eh, uncle and will make us both
happy by giving your consent to ou1
marriage?"
Mr.. Poppleton not only gave this,
but presented Ross, on her wedding day
with house completely furnished.
He seemed little shy other at first
but this soon wore away, or rather
developed into the paternal affection
growing out of this mutual relation, and
the winning and lovable qualities Of
his nephew's wife.
This little episode in his life had the
good effect Of making him more dis
trustful of himself, more tolerant Of the
follies and weaknesses Of others. And
sometimes, as Rose looked back upon
it, mis- question arose in her mind,
which she never even suggested to her
husband: "Was he in earnest?"

So parted back the tresses
From his forehead high and white,
And stamp in sport pasted
Mid its waves of golden light
Then said, Nov little letter,
Go away and bear good news"
And smiled as down the staircase
Clattered loud the little shoes.
Leaving me, the darling hurried
Down to Mary in his glee,
'Mammas writing lots of letters;
Use letter, Mary-see ?"
No one heard the little prattle.
As once more he climbed the stair,
Reached his little cap and tippet,
Standing on the entry stair.
No one heard the front door open,
No one saw the golden hair,
As it loated DER his shoulders
In the crisp October air.
Down the street the baby hastenea

But the pleading face was gone,
And the little feet were fastening
By the busy crowd swept on.

People fed to left and night,

No one saw the baby figure
No one saw the golden hair,
Till a voice of frightened sweetn e5s
Rang out on the autuma air.
Twas too late-a moment only
Stood the beauteous vision there,
Then the little face lay lifeiess,
Covered DER with golden hair.
Reyerently they raised my darling,
Brushed away the curls of gold,
Saw the stamp upon the forehead,
Growing now SO icy cold.
Not mark the face disfgured,
Showing where hoof had trod:
But the little life was ended
