of principles, and l desire to see you,
my friends, stand by your homes and
your country.
My father, my uncles and cousins
were all democrats, and l was raised
among Democrats and always voted the
Democratic ticket, and you know that
Mr. Cleveland had no stronger supporter
in 1884 than myself But there was no
free trade issue then. Our country and
its industries were notin jeopardy. Now
that there is danger of England getting
o foothold IN America / giveup all party
utilization for the good Of my country.
Then, too, we all wanted a change. We
have had it, and think you will agree
with me that we have had enough. We
will ask Mr.. Cleveland to retire on the
4th Of next March, and we will attend
the Inauguration of Benjamin Harrison,
the soldier and statesman. the farmers
and laboring mans friend"
Mr.. Shayne's closing words were
drowned in tumult of applause. He
was warmly congratulated by many
friends, including some Democrats, who
have come out for protection also.

Professions the Healthiest.

Much has been written of late con-
corning the long lives of those who fol-
low literary pursuits, and some inter-
esting statistics rs to the age of writer's
have seen the light. With the famil-
lar instances of Goethe, Nollaire, and
a score or two more of past days, and
with the more modern eases of the lau-
reate, Mr.. Browning and Mr. Bailey,
the author of "Festusn long may they
live--l am not inclined TO concern my
self, With full sense of my own in
competency to deal scientifically with
tho subject, | wish, nevertheless, to
place matters on scientific basis.
All professions are healthy as COM
pared with trades. What men are
longer lived than scientists, archeolo
gists there is no profession of archie
ology, but let that pass--lawyers,
clorgymcn, physicians, actorsP In
some professions, notably the bar, TO
which might be added the stage, the
early training is said, in half-serious
banter, to Kill off the weaklngs. To
some eXtcnt this is true of all pro.
fessions. Men without self-control die,
rs n rule, young, whatever their occu-
pations. In other eases. however, the
conditions under which the classes
named exist are the most favorable.
The two things that most readily kin
men who attain middle age are anX-
iety or loss of interest. The man who
goes TO bed not knowing whether a
turn in the market may elevate him TO
wealth or stoop him TO ruin, dies OF
softening of the brain, lie who has
made his fortune and retired feels, uu-
less he has cultivated hobby, that he
has no place in the world. and dies of
inanition.
As q rule, the professional man of 90
has lcaned what he can do. If he is
unfit fcr the lao he took he has slipped
out of it; If he is making a fortune ii
is q career full Of interest and with lit
tie trouble or anxiety to himself II is
not his own ease, that the barristor
pleads, the physician combats, and the
parson arraigns. If, again, he is but
moderately successful his earnings,
though small, are pretty safe. He gets
as near an approximation TO security
as fate in a world such as a" is acoords,
and he may hope. barring exceptional
circumstances, that the future will be
as the past, His occupation, mean
while, brings him consideration and
Intelligent surroundings. and his life is
fairly aud pleasantly varied. Once
the philosopher temperament is reach
ed the combustion of life is very rapid.

Burdette's Advice to Young yotcra.

Ny son, you will cast your first vote
for President next November. | don't
want to influence your vote; ! don't
want YOU to vote for a certain man Just
because certain other men do. l want
you to sit down and think about it be-
fore YOU vote. | want you to be able to
give a reason for your Vote. want YOU
to go 70 the polls in good company. As
young man of progressive ideas, l
want you to be abreast of the world and
shoulder to shoulder with the times when
you walk to the polls. i want you, on
entering politics, to align with the party
that has the purest, most progressive
record. l don't care cent, my boy,
whether you are a republican or demo-
crat. There are honest men, patriotic
citizens, good christians in both parties.
Only ! don't want to see you walk up to
the polls and cast your first vote with
the party
That upheld human slavery rs a di-
vine institutions;
That bought and sold men, women,
and babies like so many mules;
That fired on Fort Sumpter and the
American flag;
That for nearly five years fought to
destroy lile union;
That opposed the issue of grcenbacks
when the government was fairly perish
ing for want of them;
That organized mobs and riot to OPP
pose the draft;
That swept American commerce from
the seas with armed privateers;
That is the party of Boss Tweed and
Jefferson Davis;
That polls its heaviest majorites in
the most vicious and ignorant precincts;
That is strongest in the states where
the percentage Of illiteracy is greatest;
That has opposed every liberal and
progressive measure in legislation dur
ing the last quarter of a century;
That was the defender Of slavery;
That is the defender Of Mormonism:
That slandered Garfield: and
That assassinated Lincoln!
Now, as / have said before, my son, |
don't care whether you are republican
or democrat. Choose for yourself.
Just keep away from the crowd whose
record | have very briefly outlined. Find
the party to whom this record belongs,
and then forever keep away from it.
You need not be particular with which
party you unite, if you don't join that
one. Always vote against that party,
and you will always vote about right. |
am a republican, but ] will shake hands
with fraternal love with any democrat
who votes against that record. That
kind Of a democrat is always a good
enough republican for me.
Z. 81 never found that kind of a
democrat.

The story goes that a young cutato
once received from lady an instan-
taneous photograph which represented
the two parties in the act Of kissing.
The curatc, while calling upoe the
young lady, had in a moment Of en-
thusiasm Kissed her and she, artful
belle, hy previous arrangement, had
secured photographs Of the scene, one
of which She sent to the innocent pas
tor as described. with tho statement
that she had eleven more, which he
might have for the modest sum Of 800
each. Whether the citrate took tho
goods at the price named, ol whether
the lady relcnted aud became his life

EndenYnrinc to NrisIcnd.

Can anything be more dishonest than
this attempt made hy the New York
Herald 10 uname the farmers Of the
West against the operation OF protect
I've tariff by false plea thatlthe prices
of grain have been lowered by ii? The
Herald gives these figures of value, for
getting 70 say that they are values in
New York:
Corn wheat.

lSl0 10 $50 ,ave age price per hUl th,S ia
irct- tle year. -.,.t t.t+rs.,- 3GN ~
Now, mark how plain tale shall put
this down. First the whole exports of
American wheat for the ten years 1850
to 1860 were less than that of the one
year 1SS1-far less; indeed. the total ex-
ports of American wheat for the seventy
one years, between 1850 and 1860 &c
cording to the Herald. was only St,7l1,-
620 bushels against l0l ,91t $40 bushels
in 1887. The effect OF increased output
would naturally tend TO lower price.
Again, between 1850 ana 1860, nearly
live years OF European war made Ameri-
ca the all but sole food provider for the
armies of France, Italy, and England;
this would tend to increase price, In
the years 1850 to 1870 we had our own
armies to supply, which would stiifeR
price; we had also a paper currency
which was deprecated in value. Taking
the HcrdidS average of price for these
ten years rs $l.3i it can not be argued
that it was equal TO the 50 cents paid in
1887. The average value Of $La in
paper during the ten years was hardly
more than equal to 50 cents Of coin or
paper convertible into coin on demand,
And think how little $1.34 could buy in
those days.
In the decade lS10-S0 prices fell 10
cents per hgshel; but tie exports Of 1887
were nearly one sixth of all the exports
of the ten years quoted They were in
fact l0l, 07l $40 bushels, against 667 ABS,
sol for tho ten years, And they We're
brought into competition with an ex-
uherant wheat crop of Eastern india.
Tho way to put the question Of the low
price of wheat in 1886 is this; what
would the price have been if we had had
no home market for the larger part Of
our crop? For it is plain that the foreign
market is failing us, And the Herald
negleCts TO remind its readers that when
wheat was worth $i.3l IN New York it
was not worth more than 81 in Buffalo,
and often not worth 36 cents in Illinois,
Iowa, Indiana, or Western Ohio. In
those days it cost more than 80 cents to
convey a hushel Of grain from Buffalo
60 New York, and very much larger
sum to get it from the wheat fields to
Buffalo. The high price was small bene-
tit to the farmer. Chicago Inter Ocean.

Nea wrinkle in Picture Frames.

Thenew picture frames Of oak or chest
nut shaded by the rubbing in Of lumber
from light at the inside to dark at the
outer edge are the latest fad in their
line They arc especially effective shen
used around q tinted print of n shade

u Is predicted, however, that they will
soon become too common aud go out
Of fashion. Some dealers IN New York
won't put such frames on pictures sold
by them at all, claiming that the style
violates artistic taste. At one dealers
a still more striking frame is having
a run Of popularity 1t is Of broad
oak with real bars half an inch thick,
colored to look like iron, set across it
from side to side. Imitation hinges on

United States, according 20 the director
of the United States Mint, since the dis
coyery of gold in California in 1913, is
81, 800, 900 600 The same authority says
we had on hand July /, 1886, about
5000, 600, 600, therefore we must have
exported a round billion within thirty
eight years This, to say nothing Of the
silver, which is probably 5000, 600 600 or
$500, 600, 600 more. 1t represents part
OF our excess Of imports over exports.
Probably as much more as this has been
paid i'm interest bearing securities, bonds.
etc. This sum is greater than all the
deposits in the savings banks Of the Uni
ted States at the present time. II is
more than the total amount Of money in
circulation in the United States at the
present time Suppose this money had
remained here, by fostering new indus
