rhs story Of q WerewolE

A noble gentleman OF Brittany, In high
favor with the king, married a lovely
lady. There would have been no limit to
their happiness but that three days out of
every week the gentleman mysteriously
disappeared. When pressed by his wife
for an explanation he confessed that he
was a Bisclaveret or werewolf, and for
three days in the week was condemned to
assume a VOLTS shape. The lady was
sort troubled and determined to rid her
self of 80 Objectionable a husband. Learn
ing that if the lords clothes were stolen
after the metamorphosis was effected he
could not resume his human shape, she
and a false cavalier who loved her
watched him and got possession of the
castoff garments. AS from that day the
husband was no more seen she married
the cavalier.
One day the king was out hunting
when a wolf hat had been sore pressed
by the hounds made its way to him and
looked at him with so pitiful and human
an expression that the kings heart was
touched. He spared it and brought it
home to his court. The animal proved
gentle and tractable and became a great
favorite. But one day when the false
cavalier came to court it jumped upon
him with a wild cry and bit him severely.
And when some days later the wife
claimed an audience with the king the
wolf flew at her, too, and bit off her
ose. Swords were drawn and the wolf
would have been killed, but that a wise
man counseled the prince to find out first
what could be the reason of the VOLTS
grudge to the lady and her husband.
And, being threatened with imprison-
ment, the lady. terrified, confessed all
she knew, and when the clothes OF her
former husband were given to the wolf
he was transformed into human shape
and the king rejoiced to recognize his old
favorite. The guilty pair were igno-
miniously banished. They lived several
years and had many children, all the
girls being born without noses.-Ameri-

tension of the reform system already established
by law to all the grades of the service to whlchdt
iSapplicabe. The spirit and purpose of the reform
should he observed in all Executive appointments,
and all laws at variance with the object of existing
reform legislation should he repealed, TO the end
that the dangers to free institutions which lurk In
the power of official patronage may be wisely and
effectively avoided
The gratitude of the Nation to the defenders OF
the Union cannot be measured by laws. The lcgls-
lation of Congress should conform to the pledges
made by loyal people, and be so enlarged and
extended as to provide against the possibility that
any mar who hOnorably wore the Federal uniform
shall bt come an inmate of an alms-hOuse, or de
pendent upon private charity. In the presence OF
an OVERLOOKING Treasury il would be public scan
dal to do less for those whose v2lOrOuS service pre-
served the Government. We dCnOunce the hostile
spirit shown by President Cleveland in his nUIner-
Gus yetOeS of measures for pension relief, and the
action OF the Democratic House of Representatives
in refusing consideration of general pension
legislation.
The first concern OF all good government is the
virtue and SObriey of the people and the purity OF
their hcmeS. The Republican party cordially
SympathiZes with all wise and well directed efforts
for the promotion of temperance and morality. In
support of the principles herewith enunciated, We
invite the cooperation of patriotic n.,n OF all

prosperity is seriously theatenCd by the freetrade

TAXING THE FARMER.

Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
The average free trader places very
low estimate on the intelligence of the
farmer when he seeks to make him be-
lieve that protective tariff is ''taX'
upon everything he has to buy and op-
crates to lower the price of everything
he has to sell. A cartoon recently ap-
peared in free trade journal, the sub
iect of which was a farmhouse, barn
and variety of articles of use to the
farmer. There were tags to these arti-
cles representing the amount of the
''ruinous war tax" on each, as for exam
pie: Shingles on barn, 35 cents thou
sand; weatherboarding 81 per 1000 feet;
pump, As per cent; plow, hoe and rake,
As per cent; milk pail, 45 per cent;
farmers coat, 35 per cent, and so on.
This would be very forcible argu-
ment if the farmer could be made to be-
lieve an utter fallacy-that an article
subject to duty is enhanced in price to
the amount of the duty, and that SINH
lar articles of home production are in
creased in price to correspond with that
of the imported article. The truth is,
tariff is very different thing from a
tax, and its effect has been clearly dem
onstrated to be the very reverse of the
free trade assertion. The operations of
the tariff show that protection invaria-
bly, reduces the cost of articles produced
in the country, and invariably furnishes
the farmer with better market at high
er prices for his produce.
In considering the above list, and all
lists which are quoted to show the "Out-
rageous war taxes" it must not be for
gotten that there is no duty on Ameri-
can-made products. Shingles, wealth
erbOarding, pumps, plOws, hoes, rakes,
and all kinds of farm implements, are
manufactured in the country by Ameri-
can workmen, who get living out of
their labor, and who, in turn, spend
liberal portion of it for farm products.
There is no "war tax" on any of these
home made articles. If farmer wants
to buy imported materials or implements
he can do so, but he is not compelled
to pay eXOrbitant prices for them.
Thanks to protection, he can buy tools,
clothing, and other home products about
as cheaply as he can get the imported
articles, and by patronizing home man
ufacturers he spends his money for the
benefit of American workingmen. He
must be very silly farmer who is de-
ceived by lying cartoons such as we have
described.
