ers in iron and steel. American cutlery and
American cottons are the best made any
where. American operatives and mechanics
are the best paid of any anywhere They live
better, dress better, and are altogether better
satisfied than those of any other country.
They are envied by the workingmen
of every nation east of the Atlantic, and
their ranks are annually recruited by tens of
thousands who have left home and friends
to enjoy the advantages offered here. All
this is owing to the wisdom of the Repub-
lican party and its fidelity to every public
trust. The natural resources of the country
undoubtedly do much toward rendering
these things possible, But unwise legisla-
ton, the substitution of theories for practi-
cal experience, would defeat all this and do
much toward disarranging the intricate
machinery of commerce, which would
inevitably result in incalculable' harm
to every business interest. The
people are well satisfied with the present con-
dition of affairs. They could scarcely be bet
ter-they might easily be made much worse.
Being prosperous they are contentei and
patriotic The government is respected be-
cause it deserves respect. The confidence
bestowed upon the Republican party has not
been betrayed. Every department of gov
eminent has been conducted with wisdom
remarkable for its foresight Every pre-
dicted result has come to pass. The conf
dence inspired by wise legislation in the past
will not be easily won away. The people in
1884 will not forget to whom they owe pres
ent and past prosperity, and it is no unreas-
enable thing to feel assured that the Repub-
lican party will again triumph. The people
are patriotic because they have every reason
to be patriotic. They are enthusiastic, hap
by and contented Demagogues will not be
able to deceive them, and they will not be
foolish enough to demand change that
could scarcely fail to result disastrousy to
theiEevery interest. The Republican party
in the past has trumphed on its merits. 1t
will succeed again next year for the same
reason. This is as morally certain as any
thing year hence can be.

THE recent failures in the leather boot
and shoe trade amount to several millions
And so far as is apparent. no other cause
than sharp competition can be assigned
for the disasters. Leather goods are all
under tariff protection, yet domestic rivalry
in this line of trade is so active that the mar
gin of profit is cut SO close that several of
the strongest houses in the country have
gone under. The charge that the tariff builds
up and fosters monopolies in the goods and
wares protected, and shuts off healthy com.
petition, does not hold good. There is a
fresh demonstration TO the contrary in the
failures cited.

LITTLE episode occurred at Atlantic City
the other day, recOllections of which proba-
bly, less agreeable to the chief actors than to the
looKers-on. The daughter of wealthy Penn
sylvan1a farmer came to the sea shore early in
the season under the care of "a married lady,
evidently not strict chaperone. The young
woman fresh from boarding school and saw
a hero in every handsome man she met. She
soon met one who showed a disposition TO make
her acquaintance, which was accomplished with
out the intervention of a mutual friend. The
handsome young man informed the girl that he
from New York and by means OF numerous
presents conveyed the idea that he was wealthy.
After three weeks of devoted attention he asked
her marry him, but the girl, while aeknowl-
edging a return of his affection, Had a spasm of
sense in which she referred him to her father
who was expected daily. The father arrived
rather unexpectedly and took a stroll upon the
beach to look for bis daughter and surprise her.
He found her, but the surprise on the occasion
was of a triangular nature. He found her on
! the sand enjoying the marine view, according
TO seaside custom, with young man under the
same uDbrella. The farmer recognized the
yOun man. His handsome countenance had
been photographed on the farmers memory since
a previous visit to New YORK, when he mad been
bunkoed out of 5000 by sharp. The young
man was the sharp, and the scene which ensued
after recognition was not what Oscar Wilde
would consider reposeful, and therefore not
artistic, but was described by observers as too
beautiful for anything After the excitement
and the dust had subsidized the lovers could have

tiou and the other for the hotel with her faith
