permitted in the building and repairing Of

locks or spring catches on small closet doors,
which are still large enough to permit the
entrance of q little child Children il their

AMI if the door closes with spring catch,
there Is no way for them to get ont if they
happen to be beyond the bearing of others
An ordinary close closet or cupboard con-

The little wife that Is to bcl of 8 or 10
wears, needs no spectacles She is clear
sighted, and can distinguish with critical
accuracy between the honest-eyed gentle
man who speaks grufily to her, and the
smooth-tongued, polished villain. Her jndg-

select husband, if it were time to do 50, with
wisdom and good taste At II she gets little
love-blinded, and puts on her first pair of
glasses. They magnify a little, Her hero
stands before her in raised letters a being of

vided it adhered to the principles on
which 1t was founded, would be the long

suits of any organization since the world
began. He was in favor of fair revision
and an immediate one. He was in favor
of such revision as would not permit an
annual surplus of 100000, 600. He was
ready when any such bill was presented to
take up every article on the list
and adjust each one In way that
would give protection to the labor
employed in the various industries
Then he would apply to every industry
the same principle that had been applied
to the silk manufacturing industry.
There were about 100 silk r Ills in the

terials were admitted free Of duty, and
the consequence was that no more pros
porous manufacture could be found any,

Why was not the same principle applied

cheap hats. This was the Democratic
policy, the American policy the policy
which he wanted to see engrafted in the
