Prudence! Prudence!

In medication, as in aught else,
prudence should be our guide. Yet
thousands cast it to the winds.
Every new nostrum finds It's patrons,
the medical empires of every false

change in the gamut of humbug is
rung successfully-for time at least
the notes being furnished by the
credulous. In happy contrast TO the
many advertised impostures of the

he took a sail;
And DER many costly supper did himself

easy crupper for Tho harried Lions

For the senator's unstrangled and the eau

And, indeed, twas necessary that the
senators so merry should be shut off,
in fact, very-for the tail was getting
soro.
THE TREATY.
So with Bayard's help they framed it and
quite Garrulous acclaimed it, and
when questioned went and blamed it
on desires for mutual peace.
And DER bumpers big of stingo all hands
laughed at Bayard's lingo, and in their
peculiar lingo said they had our states
mems fleece.
And tho president waved pensive as he
thought Of votes extensive got by
methods inexpensive from the fisher
men of Maine;
And his whole administration tried to
have the Yankee nation talle up Jo-
seph's invitation; sure, he thought We

THE SENATORS.
Then the senate had its innings, and it
jumped on Bayard's sinnings, and the
Lion got no winnings in the long
winded debates.
Holy smoked It was wonder how retail

blunder of the cabinet heavy weights.
So the treaty was rejected in q way that
much reflected on tho way that
Grove expected to catch Anglo-maniac

With tho Democrats abusing and Repub-
licans enthusing, it was really quite
amusing to reporters taking notes.

What u British Workingman Says OF Free
Trade and Its Results.
The following letter has been received
by the Home Market club Of Boston:
DEAR SR-Thanks for the papers you
have sent me. Twas in America for about
Two months last summer, sent over by our
association. to see for myself whether the
working classes OF your country were bet
ter off under protection than we arc under
free trade, and the conclusion / camc to
was this:
That any person who has to earn liv-
ing in America as producer must first
become crazy before he becomes free
trader. and the farmers must be the crazi-
est of the whole lot to think of such Q
thing. Before any of your workingmen,
either engaged in manufacturing or agri-
culture, talk about free trade, let them
send one of their number over here to see
what it is doing for this country. Let
him walk about for six months looking
for job until his coat gets ragged and
his shoes get thin, and he gets the thin,
nest of all, and everywhere he asks for
work he will be told that the Germans
and Belgians are doing the work cheaper
than he can do it; then let them send for
him home again, and hear what he says
about free trade.
If it is surplus revenue that is causing
the trouble, send it to some free trade
country. You never knew them to have
q surplus; or, if you don't like to do that.
take it out to sea and sink it, or bury it,
or burn it, or do anything in fact rather
than adopt free trade, that is to say if
you do not want foreign competition to
ruin your manufacturing industries, and
by so doing ruin your farmers by robbing
then. of their homo market
