The Boston Traveller very perth
nently reminds tine voters of the
country that every prophecy made
by the Republican party, through its
leaders in 1884, in case Democratic
administration was elected, has been
fulfilled. They predicted that the
tariff duties would not be reduced,
and that is true. They said there
would be no retrenchment. They
were correct in that. They said Dem
ocrats would not wipe out the sur
plus. They have not. They said be-

IrrepreSsible Democratic Conflicts.


The Republican is very blind or
dull who cannot see that his party is
about to enter on a new career, by
virtue of its inherent strength from
the magnificent results of its now
dominant principle and policy of
Protection and by reason of the ig-
norant rashness of Mr.. Cleveland in
making his reelection depend on the
triumph of free trade. The Demo-
cratic cities of the North have become
hives of manufacturing industry, and
armies OF Democratic laborers are
only waiting efficient leadership to
come out for the party that protects
them against foreign pauper labor.
The Democracy of the South is fast
dividing on Mr.. Cleveland's new
issue and intelligent and enterprising
Southern men are seeing the facts
and the irresistible logic of such
Southern Democratic advocates of the
Republican system of Protection as
the Atlanta Constitution, which, last
Thursday, stated the changed South
ern situation in the fewest and truest
words, when it said that "under the
system of slavery, it was natural
that the South should be in favor OF
free trade but all the conditions have
changed. The big plantations have
been for the most part cut up into
small farms, and the great need Of
the small farmer, as well as the large

To Make Good Stick Candy.

What is the most particular branch Of
candy manufacturer was asked.
THE stick department..
'..Why soT'
Because the greatest skill, strength and
judgment are needed TO make good stick
candy. No man can learn to make stick
candy after he is grown. l don't know why
it is, bnt man who is stick candy maker
always learned his trade when he was a boy.
None grow old in it. either. You seldom see
en- old candy maker. Most who learn the
trade set up small retail places of their own.
1t is far easier to start business on almost
no capital in the candy line than in any
other. A barrel of sugar, few favors,
little butter and cream will start a man in
his own little factory. In stick candies the
only authorizations possible are in colorings
and fiavors The stock must be pure, first
quality sugar"
In great room at long marble slabs stood
fifty OF more skilled workers At the head
Of each table lay a great mass of warm
candy ready to be converted into sticks. On
the outside the candy makers put on the
coloring that indicated the flavor Winter
green was stri,lsd with red, the lemon with
pure white. The narrow stripes and broad
stripes were arranged in big splatches. With
asdexterous twist the large..bunch was length
ened into round sticks OF the size one sees
in the glass jars on the candy sellers shelves
The stripes came out perfectly adjusted-ons
broad and several narrow.

clared the foreman.-Chicaso Herald
