NO FREE ABOUT. TT.

A very common, indeed m almost uni versal, practice with republican editors and orators nowadays is to accuse the demo- cratic party of being party of free trade. Of course they don't bring any proofs to sus- tain their charge, for that would be i'm possible; but like the dog that barked at the moon, they howl for the noise it makes with the hope that the real issue may be obseured. The democratic party is not in any way committed to free trade, neither has it done anything that would give plausibility to the suspicion that it in tends at any time to favor each condition. True to it's history as the friend of the people, faithful to it's character as the living exponent of true governmental concern, the democratic party urges reform in the present excessive taxation, and demands an immediate relief from the burdens and abominations of tariff that sprung from the exigencies of war and that fattened monopolies at the expense of the general veal. This is not free trade, nor. can the most ingenious rhetoric of republican shouters torture it into the appearance of it.
 The present tariff levies an average duty of 47 per cent, and its effect is to bring in7 to the treasury an unnecessarily large amount of revenue. The democratic party proposes to bring this down to an average rate of 40 or 42 per cent, claiming that thereby some relief will be afforded to the plethoric treasury and ample prot ection will be rendered to all industries. In 1S42 the tariff was but B per cent, and yet that tariff was the special pride of the old Wings and protectionists. If 33 per cent was good protection, surely.t 40 or 42 per cent is not free, trade In 1882 republican tariff commission recommended a sweeping reduction of 20 per cent, and yet the cry of free trade was not raised against the commission. Is the 40 or 42 per cent which the democrats now propose any more open to the charge The republican platform of 1884 pledged, the party to reduction of the tariff and no body has thought of charging that body with catering to the free trade doctrine Presidents Grant and Hayes and Garfield and Arthur all recommended reasonable reductions in the excessive tariff taxation indeed, President Garfeld announced him self in Congress as being in favor of sncf protection as would ultimately lead to fre' trade. And yet these men, were recognized as being pretty thorough going republicans s Free trade, however insinuating or at tractive it's theories may be to the student of economies, will not be popular witt Americans in this generation, and certain ly the democratic party has no thought o1 foisting it on the country. A reform tha proposes a reasonable and judicious reduc ton of the ultra pregnant treasury, and al absolutely necessary relief to our over taxed people, while at.the same time afford ing generous need of protection, cannot honestly be tortured into free trade. The issue has not yet been made, between free trade and protection, nor will 1t be in this saampaiOn "th-t Er 1

Mary, of eLittle Lamb" Fame.

Mrs. Mary E. Tyler, the original
Mary whose little lamb followed her to
school one day, is still living at Somer-
vile, Mass, a vigorous old lady OF
eighty-twO years. To a reporter of the
Boston Globe she recently gave the
true version OF the world-famous
verses. The lamb was raised by her
from the day of its birth, it's mother
having deserted it. 1t followed Mary
everywhere she went, and died in her
arms, having been gored by a COW
while following Mary about the barn.
The three original verses were written
by one John Roulstone, a young man
of the neighborhood, then fitting for
college, but two more verses were add
ed afterward by a Mrs. Townsend.
From the fleece of her lamb Mary knit
two pairs of stockings. These were
ravelled out, and sold in small bits tied
TO a card with Mary's autograph writ
ten on it, and sold for the fund collect
ed to save the Old South Church, Bos-
ton. Two hundred dollars were rails
ed in this way.

just the Minister for Kentucky.

Senator Beck has among his friends
a Presbyterian clergyman who lives in
the northern part of New York and
who is an excellent judge of horse
flesh. 81 shall never forget" said
Beck the other day, "our first meeting.
1t was at a planters, near Lexington,
who raises some very fine colts every
year. Accompanied by our host we
took a stroll one morning among the
barns and stables and looked at the
stock, when presently a couple of colts,
six weeks old, were brought out for
inspection by one of the stable boys.
"'ThOse are Morgan colts said the
clergyman.
"'Why,' L exclaimed in surprise and
over-joyed at finding a man of the
cloth who seemed to know something
about horses, do you know a Morgan
colt when you see it p Certainly said
the clergyman promptly, COR all Eclipse

"Well," continued Beck, sit was the
first time l had ever met a minister
who knew a Morgan horse or any other
at sight and we have been fast friends
ever since. Why sir" added Beck in a
burst of enthusiasm and admiration for
his friends knowledge of horse-f1esh (;

How Is 1T in Caledonia!


A person driving through any con-
siderable portion of the state of Yer
mont would not suspect from anything
he saw that there was a law compelling
every town to "keep at all the inter-
sections of highways guide boards Civ
ing the direction and distance to the
towns to which such highways lead"
and imposing a fine for neglect to car
~ out the law. In many cases no
guide boards are to be seen, and in
other cases the legends on them have
been so effaced by time and the ele-
ments as to be illegible. Some towns,
notably Charlotte in C~hittenden coun-
ty, obey the law, but in others it seems
to be largely a dead letter. Obedience
to the law is not expensive, and the
towns for their w good name and for
the benefit of travellers should obey it.

Last Days of Mrs. Stowe.

Early last month Mrs. Stowe went
to North Haven, near Sag Harbor,
from Hartford, Ct, seeking rest and
quiet. She was accompanied by Rev.
Charles Edward Stowe, and had chosen
a lovely spot, where it vas hoped that
her health would be benefited and her
life prolonged for some time. 1t is an
old farmhouse on Capt. Lewis Corwin's
farm, which occupies an arm formerly
known as Hog Neck.
Life at the farm has been very rest
full and simple. Mrs. Stowe passed the
days sitting in the garden, looking out
over the water, listening to the songs
of the birds and inhaling the briny air
and the odor of flowers. Capt. Corwin,
who is an old seaman, has taken great
pride in his visitor, and n day short
ly after her arrival, when she had re-
turned from a walk, told her how he
had read "Uncle TOMS Cabin" ad-
ding.
81 am glad to shake hands with you,
Mrs. Stowe, who wrote it,"
"But I did not write it."
s.You didn't! Who did, then 2"
"God wrote it. 1 merely did his die
tation."
Before Mrs. Stowe was stricken down
she delighted to wander in the garden
and orchards, but she seldom talked.
One of her daughters was always with
her. She did nothing but gaze on the
beauties that surrounded her home.
She did not care to read or have any
one read to her. She receivad no call
ers, and the members of her family
we're the only ones who met her.
Strangers often drove over to see the
famous old lady, but they were DOOM
ed to disappointment unless they could
catch a glimpse of the snowy-haired
authoress with her daughters in the
garden. One of her last actions was to
drive owe to East Hampton, once the
home of DR.. Lyman Beecher, her faith
er. The aged authoress, however, dis
played little reminiscent feeling. She
was apathetic, and her only wish was
to return to the farmhouse.
Later she expressed a desire to die
in Hartford to which place she was
removed. At present writing though
more comfortable she is really not
materially better and the end must
soon come.

RICHARD A. PROCTOR DEAD.
A Victim to the Yellow Fever.

"Black Jack" has an eminent victim
in Richard A. Proctor, the astronomer,
who died of the dread disease on the
18th, at a hospital in New York city,
whittier he had come from his Florida
home for the purpose of taking passage
for England. Mr.. Proctor's home,
Oak Lawn, in Marion county is in the
interior, 60 or 20 miles from Jackson
vile, and no cases of the fever have
appeared in the county. He arrived
in New York by rail on the 10th, hav-
ing left his family at Oak Lawn, and
intending to spend the fall and winter
fulfilling lecture engagements in En-
gland. He was apparently in his usual
health until Tuesday, when he fell ill
and speedily became a very sick man,
his temperature running to 1884 de-
grees, his skin becoming jaundiced, and
vomiting following. He seemed bet
ter in the afternoon, but it was deemed
best to remove him to the hospital.
He rested we'll during the night, but
early in the morning a relapse came,
symptoms of Bright's disease appeared,
and in the evening he was attacked by
slight commissions, the fatal black vom-
it ensued and death occurred.
HIS is d very IdulSHtdUlo SdCFluCo,
for Mr.. Proctor, while not of the great
minds was a brilliant theorist and dis
cOverer, and one of the brightest and
ablest popularizers of science, and has
been of great service in extending the
bounds of general knowledge of the
wonderful revelations of modern as
tronomy. He was BORN at Chelsea,
London, March %, 1887, and was con-
sequently well along in his SD year.
He lectured in the United States in the
winter of 1884, and again spent sew
months here in 1856. A few years
ago Mr.. Proctor adopted America as
his future home, buying a place near
Louis with the intention of staying
there. But Missouri did not suit him
the atmosphere was not suited to his
astronomical work, and after a s~ojourn
England he chose Florida as his res
last year, finding there the best
conditions for his need. He built an

situated, pursuing his observations of

Resting Spells.

How differently men and women in
dulge themselves in what they call a
resting spell: ~ gggsssss I'll sit down
awhile" says the wife, but her hus-
band throws himself upon the easy
lounge or sits back in his armchair,
with hands at rest and feet placed hor-
izontally upon another chair. The
result is that his whole body gains full
benefit of the half hour he allows him
self from work and the wife only re-
ceives that indirect help which comes
from change of occupation. A physi-
clan would tell her that taking even
ten minutes rest in a horizontal posi-
ton, as a change from standing or sit
ting at work, would prove more bene-
to her than any of makeshifts at
resting.
