VIE MILES BILL.

The Mills Bill, the other name
for which is, Cleveland's Free
Trade Bill, Is passing through Sc
we're and prolonged travail. 1t
has been so emascuIated by the
hands of l#s sponsors as to be un-
like itself as originally fashioned.
Every Democratic Representative
has insisted that free trade shall
not apply to the product Of his
constituency, and in accommodate
ing each the measure has come to
resemble the old lady's stockings
we once heard OF.
An old lady was once the owner
OF a pair Of silk stockings. They
were her first and last palr. She
first wore them on her marriage
day and every Sunday and holiday
thereafter fox fifty years, mending
the rents as they appeared with
yarn other than silk until there
was not thread OF the original
left, still they continued to be the
dear old lady's silk stockings.
When Mills and his associates
started out to consumate the be-
hests Of his weightiness, Cleve-
laud, they imagined that a down
hill pull was before them. But
they are wiser now. Yet their
condition is trying one. Their
driver is obstinate and reckless
They are not permitted to back,
and they cannot pail their load.
Neither can they explain their sit
uation without causing laughter at
their awkwardness Only recent
ly, Mills, OF Texas, speaking OF
his bill, said:
." We produce and exchange a
mong ourselves, and consume III
the satisfaction OF our wants, more
OF the products OF our own labor
than the 2O0, O0G, coo on the cont
ncut Of Europe We have invent
ed and have now in successful Ope-
ration more labor-Saving machinery
than all other people. We are
turning out over six billions wortl
Of products OF manufactures every
year, and producing them at lower
cost Of production, and, at the
same Tins, paying higher wages tC
our workmen than any other peo
pie"

A Democratic writer says that il
the New EngIaad manufacturers
could get free wool they could
make wooden cloth as cheap as it
is made in England. Then, if
they could steal their wool, they
could make it good deal cheaper
than the Ensii.hmcn. Perhaps
that would be nearer the notions
OF the free traders. But honest
Americans, who buy American
manufactured goods, want the S 's-
TEN of protection kept up ON all
the products. II it makes the pro
duets cost little more, it also put,
great deal more money into the
buyers pockets with which to buy
protected goods.

Tho Canvass In West virginia.

Tho canvass in West Virginia has
opened with many signs of promise for
tho Republicans. The congressional del
egation now includes three Democrats
and one Republican. Mr.. Golf. The Sec
onl was carried by Mr.. Wilson In 1886
by beggarly plurality Of ninety. and
with strong candidate tho Republicans
now have strong hopes of retiring him.
Mr.. Wilson is q member Of the commit
tee of ways and means, which Is re-
sponsible for the Mills bill, and he has been
an earnest advocate of that measure. His
speech in defence of that measure has been
considered by good judges of tariff argu.
ment the strongest that has been heard
on the Democratic side. His constituents,
however. complain with reason that he
has sacrificed the industrial interests Of
his state. and are anxious to send Pro-
tectionist in his place. The third and
fourth districts are also fighting ground.

rot exceed 800 in either of them.-New

Tho Ingenuity Of womanislnd.

a story was told the other day that
admirably exernplifed the ingenuity of
womankind. 1t was told by a well known
dock man as he was taking a trip around
Grand Island the other afternoon. ''They
had no end of trouble in trying to keep
cups for drinking purposes at the water
coolers on the Periwinkle last summer"
said he. 1.-THE captain was in despair.
He had tried claiming the cups, but the
women even broke the chains Finally
the engineer hit upon bright and
novel plan. i tell you what to do, he
said. Just prick hole through the bot
tom OF each cup. That will make them
leak so that 1t will be impossible to carry
them to the upper deck. The captain
was delighted, and Immediately ordered
lot OF new cups, which were carefully
bored. Then the engineer made himself
ready to smile ut the passengers discom-
future. The first person that tried carry
ing water upstairs was small boy, who
tested every cup and finally gave up the
attempt.
THE engineer chuckled and Rugged
himself in diabolical glee at the sue
cess of his scheme, but q school girl

down humming an air from 'Erminie,'
filled up the first cup she got hold of and
started. The engineers delight was get
ting beyond bounds when he saw the
water streaming along the floor. The
girl saw it, too, and stopped short.
She sized up the leak and then, going
back to the cooler, deliberately refilled
the cup, put her finger over the leak and
carried the cup of water up stairs in tri-
umph. That was the maddest engineer
/ ever saw, but instead of getting angry
reared when he told me of it, and said:
Score one for the girl. Bless the dear
things, anyhow. No matter how hard
or how often man may try to fool them,
it is the girl who comes out ahead. Say
what you are a mind to, they get there

Newspaper Enterpris. in China.

Shanghai some interesting notes on news
paper enterprise in China. In addition
to religious and illustrated periodicals
there are two daily newspapers-the Shen
Pao and HUI Pao--published in Chinese
at Shanghai. The Shcn Pao has daily
circulation averaging $4,000 to $4,000
copies. During the Franco Chinese war,
its articles being written by patriotic
Chinese to suit the popular taste, the cir
culation increased to $4,000 copies daily.

these newspapers, although owned by
foreigners, are, we are assured, bona
fide organs of educated Chinese public

do not always take the foreign side, but
their influence, Mr.. Hughes tells Us, is

PROTECTION BANGS GOOD WAGES.
It Encourages Home Industries and len
efits Country and People.

It Encourages Home Industries and Hen"
ehts Country and People.
Wages are better under protection than
under free trade This Is clear when the
United States and England are put side
by side. Wages grow better with pro-
lection. This has become clear in Ger
many, whose field, mine and mill yield
less than those of England, because the
land Is poorer and feeds moro idlers and
therefore had far lower wages until Ger
many adopted protection. Wages
grow big under protection because the
output is bigger, and the output Is bigger
because protection leads men to work to-
gether and get all they can out Of Uncle
Sans farm. Any system which does this
must be good for wages.
How does protection do thisg Take two
sets Of settlers side by side. 1t Is clear
that the set which gets most out of farm,
mine and mill will have most to divide
Both sets must first work with the ak
and pillow. All new lands must. In one
lot men say, we will each day give little
more work to get this coal pit sunk. We
will put in extra hours to set this forge
up. A few hours more each week shall
go to building mill dam. If man will
come here and set up his loom and spin
our wool we will keep him in house and
board until he can turn his corner and
begin to make things cheap. We will use
what Is made here and we will use moth
ing else.
This all would cost moro than to trust
to the AK and pillow alone and sell what
was cut and raised In the mart where all
was cheap. The cost Of living would go
up where this Ilan was tried. Each man
10, 90 IL 81 hui h.
get more for his work. There would be
more to divide and more to save. The
mine would be sunk, the forge be hot, the
mill wheel turn and the loom would hum.
The farmer would get more for his land
and the worker more for his work. All
would be done on high pressure, and the
land would flow with fairness.
Even with this draw back, it Is clear
this set of men would turn out more than
the one which took things as they came
and let all alone. 1t would have an nd
vantage over the one which put no prize
on hard work and let the mine, the forge,
the mill and the loom be set up when
some man thought he could risk turning
from the field in which he knew there was
money to q new trade in which there
might be but was not likely to DO with
old hands in the old country all In full
running shape. Wages would be lower
and would stay lower with this second
set, because less would be done. The
man with turn for setting q mill going
would think twice before he did 1t with
no sure market open, and tho man with
coal on his land would go on blowing for
food instead of digging for coal.
This is all so plain and clear that no
man can gainsay It, 1t has been said be-
fore and will be again, and it tells all the
truth about the way protection raises
wages. first by raising more out of which
to pay wages, and next by raising men
who work harder. -Philadelphia Press.

IL Says They Can Go TO the Poorhouse IT
Not Self Supporting.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer referred to
the Union veterans as stupid and bigoted
soldiers" Congressman Kilgore, an ex-
Confederate Democratic oficeholder,
openly insulted them on the floor Of the
house as paupers; and now Matson, the
Democratic candidate for governor of In
diana, in Democratic majority report
from tho committee on pensions, says
And IL one (meaning soldier pensioner)
receives not enough, 1t is because he did
not serve long enough, and can he DO
heard to complain If he gets just rate
equal to his fellow soldiers2 And for tho
remainder of the relief necessary to his
support, he shall DO allowed, as other
citizens must, to accept the charity Of the
local authorities.
Isn't that statement disgraceful? II an
old veteran, manned or in the last stages
Of disease, is unable to support himself,
he can go to the poorhouse before the
government shall aid him. That Is the
exact substance of Mr.. Matson's declara-
ton. This Is some moro Of the great love
