The Philadelphia Press has lost sight
of the tariff bugaboo long enough TO re-
mark:
''Hard times had their first premO-
milton year ago in the accumulation at
the manufacturing centres of textile
goods, and the first encouraging sign of
the near future lies in the gradual dis
appearance of this accumulation. The
total stock of piece goods in all markets
doubled from October 1, 1881, to October
l, 1882, rising, in round numbers, from
100000 to 100000: in the last four
months it has fallen over one half
and now stands at 623, 600 against
over I,OO0,000 pieces year
ago. A change of this order can only
mean that consumption has again nearly
Oyertaken production, and the fact has
registered itself in an advance in price in
the last ten days, the first in months. Add
to this that exports of cotton goods are
larger for January than I'm any year since
1879, and per cent. greater in value than
in 1882, the last is small advance, but,
with our present capacity for production,
il is likely TO increase rather than dimin-
ish.I
Here we are actually told, in the face of
the stormy discussion as to taxation now
going on in Congress, that consumption
has OYertaken production Yet this same
organ Of the barOns would have had us
believe that the discussion of the tariff at
any length would do vast damage to bust
ness interests. And yet cotton goods are
actually booming on its own showing.

stand against him. He wants to settle for

The conditions are not good for reap
pOrtiOnment Of Pennsylvania by the pres
ent Legislature. Congressional and Leg
islative appointments are made so much
a matter of politics that with neither
party controlling both branches of the
Legislature, an agreement is not hoped
for. As the Democrats did so we'll i'm

unwise for them to gerrymander the State,
even had they the opportunity to do so.

A LOVER OF THE CHASE.

Once upon 8 time the duke of Grafton 8 man who loved the chase dearly--had as- sembled at his country residence hunting party, and of the number was young curates who had thought of asking his fofdship for certain living then about to become vacant, but he had not yet had the courage to do so. The morning for the setting forth of the first hunting party ar rived, and ill due time they were on their way to the cover where the fox was to be found. And it was soon found and start ed. The hounds were set free and sped away, and away went the sportsmen, and of all in the party not one of them entered into the spirit of the sport with keener zest than did our young curate. He had found a capital mount-a horse that feared nothing-and men and beast were we'll matched The duke was riding in advance of the curate, urging his horse fllriously, when the animal missed his footing at a ditch, horse and rider both pitching in.
 "Ho! ho !' shouted the curate, as the duke lifted his head. "Lie still, your Grace, and I'll go safely over you."
 And he did so. At bound his horse cleared the ditch, flying over the prostrate nobleman and his foundering animal, and away he went like the wind after the hounds. The poor curate when his ardor had cooled and he came to reflect upon what he had done, made up his mind that all hope of preferment at the hands of the duke might be given up. But not so. Ills Grace returned with whole skin, and al- most his first exclamation on entering the castle was;
 Where's the curate? I want him to have the very first good living that falls vacant within my domain. He goes to his work with ardor. What his hands have found to do he will do quickly. Bounds reverend sir, if you had stopped and offer ed to help me out of that ditch-if you had left your sport to patronize mel never would have helped you, sir-nsver !"

A LOT OF MONOPOLIES.

When committee of workmen come to you and say that, as you have great many contracts half finished, and as men are scarce and hard to get, and as they have you on the hip, they will strike in ten minutes unless you allow them to set their own pay at the highest figures, then that is a monopoly that acts just precisely as the Western Union does when it absorbs rival line and tells you that, as there is only one office in the town, they will raise the rate little.
 When you tell your workmen that times are dull, and the market is stagnant, and that you don't need them anyhow, and they can work on half time or none, then you are the monopoly. That is, you are the striker. A monopoly is chronic striker. It is always watching chauce to pinch you and squeeze little more work or money out of you for its own benefit.
 And the lady who burns steak and chips china for you at $3 week is a monopolist. You spent six weeks looking for her, she she stays with you two weeks, breaks $8 worth of china and glass, and loses g. worth of spoons and forks, collects $6 for wages and goes off, with twenty -four hours warning, to place that offers her more china to smash and $3.50 week for smashing it.
 You see, my son, in looking about for monopoly to denounce or demolish, our naturally envious dispositions lead us to assail the monopolies that are more fortu- nate than our own. We clamor against Vanderbilt and Jay Gould and Western Union, and fail to observe the smaller mo- nopolies that differ from the great ones, not in spirit, but only in wealth and Iower.
 A monopolist isn't necessarily million oI1 Ia fC +l,,,, Il whip p-handle. It is derived from two Latin words-asono and pole, meaning the man at the pole. And the man at the pole, you know, knocks the. perslmmons. He may knock a million of them or he may knock only two; but while he is knocking you don't get any.
 Hence, my son, monopoly is pros porous combination of which we are not one.
 This makes it very wicked, avaricious, and dangerous.
 When we get into it, it ceases to be a monopoly and becomes union, a brother hood 8 firm, an association, or a corpora tion. This change of title also involves a great moral change, and it becomes mighty engine of progress, developer of our country's resources, a factor in the na- tional prosperity, and all that sort of thing.
 A monopoly is a thing which it is hard to get into.
 There is no monopolist so greedy and dangerous as the Nihilist. The ordinary monopolist is content to control one thing. The Nihilist wants everything, and three-ffths share of what is left.
 If you live to be thirty five years old, and have not been able to get into any other monopoly by that time, would ad- wise you to % to the North Pole and start

CAN'T Cook AS MOTHER D1D.-How many a young wife's heart is saddened and happiness scattered because she cannot "cook as mother did" It is strange sadly strange, and yet we all know it is true. How many 8 time has the tender-hearted reporter felt his soul burst ing with grief he told the narrowing story of some GOT suffering woman, whose cheer full sunshine had turned to dismal darkness just because she could not ''cook as mother did, And how it delights the heart of the reporter when he chances to hear of one de- voted young wife who is rescued from the gloomy fate of so many, in manner so sim pie and easy that the only wonder is that all are not saved This one to whom he now re- fers was led blushing and blooming bride, but few short weeks ago, to the altar by one of our most promising and prominent young men, He promised to do everything in his power to make her happy, but in an evil hour he made the dangerous discovery that she could not sscook as mother did.' He told her so, and from that hour the life-light of happiness began to die out in her once radiant eyes. The bloom, that put to shame the fancied perfection of the rose, departed from her cheek the voice that welcomed him to a happy heart and home grew silent as the grave, and the young husband saw that some thing must be done soon. He asked the sor- rowful wife why she was so sad, and she told him because she could not sscook as his moth- CT dia;" but if she had Royal Baking Powder he could say so no longer. Like sensible fellow, he ordered dozen boxes at once, and now he says he is afraid that his wife will raise the roof off the house some day, but he don't care, for she is happy, 'A

A nervous-looking man went into store the other day and sat down for half an hour or so, when clerk asked if there was anything that could be done for him. He said no, he didn't want anything. The clerk walked away and he sat there an hour longer, when the proprietor went tc hlm and asked if he wanted to be shown anything. ''No," said the nervous man. I just want to sit around. My physician has recommended perfect quiet for me, and says above all things must avoid be- ing in crowds. Noticing that you did not advertise in the newspapers, I thought that this would be as quiet place as l could find, so I just dropped in for few hours of complete isolation" The mer- chant snatched, up 9 bolt of paper muslin to brain him, but the man went out.

When surprised by gift from the ladies, Words failed me; I'd nothing to say. So instead, from the bright realms of poesy I will cull for them each bouquet. The first shall be bright blooming roses Roses pink, roses crimson and white; And within the heart of the fairest Cleans diamonds translucent light And one shall be pure white snow drops; Carnations, and hyacinths, too; And deep in it's fragrant casket
 Lies ruby, with crimson hue. And one shall be beautiful lillies
 With sweetness and loveliness rare; And amid the odorous blossoms
 A pearl shall be hidden there. And bluebells and asters and pansies, Fresh and fair with the morning dew And out from among their bright faces Peeps sapphire, with eye of blue. And in the last and the fairest, s9t sa Meek violets their beauties unfold; With clematis and verbenas,
 And daisies with hearts of gold. And each cluster of beauty I'll fasten, With knot from friendships band, That shall last till we meet-God willing In the city not made with hands.

A YoUNG WEES GREATEST TR1AL.-The greatest trial of young wife's life is the birth of a child, which is usually attended with many hours of hard labor and intense pain. PAINLESS CHILDBIRTH, new book, by Dr. J. H. Dye, one of New York's most eminent physicians, however, shows that pain is not necessary in childbirth, but results from causes easily understood and overcome. It proves conclusively that any woman may be- come mother without experiencing any pain whatever. It also tells how to overcome and prevent morning sickness, swelled limbs, ner- vousness, pain in back, and all the unpleasant sensations attending pregnancy. It answers hundreds of delicate questions about women and their peculiar troubles Physicians high ly recommend 1t, and say it will do all that is claimed for it.

The impor- tation of raw silk into this country has been rather larger thus far this year than it was in 1882, but the British imports have declined surprisingly of late-in Oc- tober as much as A per cent. in compari- son with the previous year. The stock oi raw silk in Great Britain is also much smaller than it was year ago-8, 800 in stead of $500 bales. The report is that, wing to a disease of the silkworm like that which has proved so destructive in Europe, the quantity fit for export from China this year will fall off about one-half.

 Rev. Thomas Holman died at Rock ford, Illinois, September 4th, in the sev- ln Union, Conn.,, July 15, 1872. MT. Hol- man in early life evidenced 8 strong desire to obtain an education, and, with this end Tn view, embraced every privilege afforded m those times for obtaining it. After many struggles and difficulties, he entered Mad ison University, Hamilton, N. Y., where he made excellent use of his time. He was for many years very successful teacher, both in Connecticut and in H. linols, where he went in 1840. MT. Hol- man was also g successful preacher. On his return from the west he held pastorates at Baptist churches in Holland, Stafford and West Woodstock, Conn. From thence he again removed to the west with hls fam fly, and was pastor of the Baptist churches ill Beloit aud Oskosh, Wis. He also preached and supplied in various churches in Illinois and Wisconsin, until failing health prevented active work. In the summer of last year he made visit to his old home and the scenes of his childhood land early youth, which he very much en- |loysd and returned 2 9 z, very much resruitea agement that it might be permanent; but his old complaints returned and he has gone to rest.
