TIE Schemes of the Free Traders


! MANY careful students of the causes which
/ have led to the present depression in trade and

| agitation of the tariff question W bjch has been
going on with greater or less persjsteucy now
| for three years, and no impartial student of the
| trade and business situation can DENY that the
agitation of this question has been one of the
| important influences that has led to the current
| stngnation. The 4Sth Congress was elected uDon
| the issue of revenue reform as one of the most
| important of the campaign of 1882 but hardly

year ago when the Morrison horizontal re-

East Belfast at Twilight

A quaint brown cottage nesting low
With tall trees DER il bending,
While song birds trIl their sweetest notes
Their greetings upward sending.
The deep, dark shade of apple trees,
Fields white with bllowy daisies,
Blue waters lend to earth and sky.
Their shifting tints and mazes.
Sweet peace broods over everything.
The silence seems unbroken.
And earth and sky are blended sweet.
BY natures loving token.
The ancient mill to ruin gone
Beside the ripping waters,
The busy wheel alas is still.
The lonely tower now totters.
The flowing stream gives forth no sound,
In shadows grow the PUSHES,
No lovers wander there at night,
The brook reflects no bushes.
No maiden fair With soft dark eyes
At twilight wander> hther.
No eager lover Joins her there
To ramble forth together.
A dismal chill broods DER the spot
Dark shadows round it creeping.
The distant stars look coldly down
Their lonely vigils keeping.
Within the cottage all Is peace
The sober house eat sleeping,
The urlOl" window filled with birds:
LuNuriant vines are creeping.
