Echo Answers, Why7

Qnite lately republican, relying on
the ignorance of group of working
men, was chanting paans to the tariff as
the mainstay of wages. He was brought
up standing by quiet little chap who
asked why it was, if it was the tariff
that did it, that unskilled labor was at
this moment scarce at 81 so at Chicago,
abundant at 81 at New York, and very
scarce indeed at Fresno at 50 when all
three places had the same tariff; why
miners get 81 on the Comstock, $3 at
Leadvilles So on Lake Superior and
eighty cents in Pennsylvania, the tariff
being the same; why servant girls get
$25 in San Francisco, $40 in Cincinnati,
and S8 in Boston, the tariff being the
same; why a wOOlen spinner averages
81 day in Connecticut, seventy-five
cents in Indiana and fifty cents in Ohio,
the tariff being the same, together with
a few other questions of the like tenor.
The republican political economist re-
tired from that conflict in a rather di-
lapidated shape.-San Francisco Ec-
dniner.

the senate tariff bill reduces the tariff
more than the Mills bill, what In the
name Of all that is good is that same

tell any intelligent people that demo-
Gratis want free trade! And what
muttonheaded Inconsistency do you dis
play when you attempt to advocate the
passage of the senate tariff bill, in the
face Of your principles declared in your
platform, that you favor the entire re-
peal Of internal tax rather than the
OF any part of our protective

people are tired of being juggled with
in the manner that the republican
campaign managers have been doing?
Where is there a man with the least
grain Of common sense who does not
know that the senate tariff bill was
only brought before the people as bid
for votes, for the votes of thousands
upon thousands Of Americans who saw
plainly the need of tariff reduction,
and were not scared by the cry of ''free
trade," nor influenced to frenzy by
your shameless waving Of the bloody

fact that Blifkins refused respectful

That about sizes up the position Of
our opposition on the tariff question
and the matter of trusts and rnonopo-
lies. The Mills bill was ''free trade''
issue, they said, and no bit of the tariff
needed reduction; and Blaine said hat
''trusts were largely private affairs
and not even the president should in
terfere with them. Anon, the senate
tumbles to the fact that the idea of tar
if reduction was sweeping all Opposi-
tion before it, and they found it neces-
sary to fix up little bill of their own,

about and advocate the passage of the

How Jacksonville Got the Fever.

The proposition that all the world
loves lover probably does not hold
good in Jacksonville now. This whole
yellow fever business is a love affair.
Mccormick, the man who brought the
yellow fever to Jacksonville, was a
lover. His sweetheart was in Tampa
aid Tampa was insulated on eccounr
of yellow fever. But yellow fever or no
yellow fever, Mccormick wanted to see
his girl; so he managed to pass the
Gordon and steal an interview with his
love. Then he came back to Jackson
vile and brought yellow fever with
him. Surgeon-General Hamilton Is
authority for this short history Of the
spread of yellow fever. 1t is another
confirmation of the wisdom of the sage
who once declared there was a woman

Forbearanoe In the Household.

Don't scold at meal time. Some
and fortitude to bear up patiently under
the vexatlon OF Overdone beef and
underdone vegetables; TO smile when
salt is absent and coffee tasteless: to
talk about the sunshine and the ''fow-
ers that bloom, when unsavoriness in
every side dish assures you they have
nothing to do with the case.
One conscious irritation 50 readily
suggests another. In cool moments of
calculation there seems to be slight
reason for dull carving knife to man
in fury; for tea cup accidentally
upset to mar the peace of an entire
family and cast cloud that hours only
can dispel. It is parental patience
with the annoying details of daily life
the details that Charles Lamb referred
to in the total depravity of inanimate
objects causes a child in after
years to look back upon a perfectly
happy life. Children are rarely epicures
in the matter OF diet. There naturally
good appetites and cheerey table talk
makes life very sunny to them, and
many a woe is forgotten in the balm OF
spoonful of sugar.
Misdemeanors should not be brought
up at meal time. A lump in the throat
is never an appetizer nor an aid to
digestion. In absence Of guests, don't
prohibit childish conversation. It all
takes time; and laughter during the
dinner and tea table hour are deadly
enemies to dyspepsia. These occasions

Food and Health,

Seriously, my readers, we are not q
trifle unreasonable? What right have
we TO expect splendid bodies. sound in
limb, good in stature, and we'll proper
toned, if we employ not the means that
are necessary to make themr We have
neither the simple habits, the plain
food, nor the healthy outdoor exercises
which perfect healthrequires. Nature.
the shrewdest of fnanciers, will not be
cheated; she never yet has been known
to barter something for nothing.
In this age of physiology, it seems
the grossest folly to ignore the facts
that science teaches. For example, it
is now we'll known that the human
body is composed OF certain constituent
elements; OF rather, that by series Of
processes know as destructive analysis,
these elementary substances are found
in it. It is also known that the source
whence these substances are derived is
the food we eat. Suppose we take
common wheat and analyze it. It Is
found to contain no less than fifteen
elementary principles, every one OF
which is essential to the building-up Of
our bodies. Indeed, so admirably is
this little cereal adapted to the wants
of the human system, that it is possible
to sustain life for an almost indefinite
length of time by simply eating bread
made from whole wheat meal, and
drinking pure water. This experiment
has been tried, both upon human beings
and upon dogs.-Faom ''Relation of

Whose Flag is h.

Ono would almost suppose to hear
the republican papers talk that that
party alone had any claim or interest
in the merican flag. It is truly dis
gusting to hear such bosh, for the fact
is, the American flag il it never would
have had any more or better protection
than it has had from good many rich
republicans, would not to-day be float
ing over one yard of American soil, or
from one mast on any ocean. Do
these silly prattlers not know enough of
their country's past troubles and his
tory, TO know that thousands of brave
men in the wars Of long ago, died to
protect this flag they now claim as all
their own. The flag they blow about
as theirs foated proud and free for
more than eighty years before the re-
publican party was ever heard tell Of.
Your flag indeedl if left to your party
alone to defend, the little power OF
Mexico could take it from you and turn
you all to slaves. Talk, write, sing and
speak of American flag as much as you
please. but do not insult its sacred
memory by calling it the republican
flag of this Union. Call it just what
it is and ever will be, the flag OF the
American people. white. black, rich,
poor, strong, week, old, young and all
who come to find . home OF refuge
under It's stars and stripes. Initiate
the flag in handkerchief If you wish,
and thereby keep your noses clean and
your brows free from sweat, but when
ever you see that emblem OF tho Uni.

or from any public building, or ship
