 A supposed shoplifter in Norwich, took her plunderings to the very store from which she had lifted them day before and requested the proprietor to change them for different sizes.

Here Is a crumb of comfort for
those ProtectioniSts who think there
is still room for them in the Demo-
cratic party. 1t is Mr.. Watterson's
Louisville Courier Journal that
speaks: sin this contest those who
are not for us are against us. There
is no discharge in this war. We
could not turn back if ke would ;
the party would not turn back if it
could. The people must now decide
between the two parties; between
the principles embodied IN the Pres
ident's message and those expressed
in Mr.. Blaine's interview This is
the square issue and Republicans
accept it.

American politics are about as lit

are on the Thames. Once upon
time a message came from Rome to
d man named Jefferson Davis in the
then Confederate States of America.
1t read Most Illustrious SIR" and
expressed the hope of success in the
cause of his people for the sake of
peace and humanity. Time passed
aud another message came to a man
named Edward McGlynn In the
United States of America, and 1t
called him a rebellious subject,
fomenting discord in the house OF
one faith, and 1t banished him from
the association of his fellows to the
torture OF outer darkness for time
and eternity, unless he do repent
him of this rebellion and return an
obedient and submissive subject.
How similar the persons, how differ
ent the messages. Such is diploma
cy. 1t stops at nothing when court
ing the favor of the great. 1t may
be a justifable necessity across the
Atlantic, but in America it counts
for little.
Court language has never been
accepted for much in this country,
however cordial and sincere. Our
representative can generally ape
enough courtly style when they get
away FROM plain home life a while
to satisfy the lengings of the whole
nation in that direction. Washing
ton and his compatriots established
government of the people in sim
pie terms, and when their friends
the enemy departed they wasted no
fine words in taking. The

The Ne,0 York Sun, paper that
Iannounces in black type that it is
The organ of Is. United Democra.
cy," in an issue of last week, says on
the message:
"The policy advocated in President
Cleveland's message receives the IN
qualified aud hearty appreciation OF
free traders and free trade journals,
and of those alone"
The Republicans also admire il
and rejoice at it, for it seems to give
them exactly the issue which they
have striven to obtain and have
Unanswered for during the past two
years; aud on this issue they are
confident of winning, in the great
struggle Of next year."
6 1.-THE policy of the message, if fol
lowed out, will tend to divide the
Democracy, especially in New Jer
sey and Connecticut; aud as the
Democratic majority in those States
Is not large, such division will natur
ally be followed by the evident dan
ger of defeat"

renal and vesical maladies, that is to say
those that effect the kidneys or bladder, have
a remarkable prominence-we had almost said

ties in the chronic stage are rarely cured, and
gravels, ca tarrh of the bladder and enuresis,
STAY many. Yet at the outset, when the trou-
BILE merely amounts 10 inactivity ofthe organs
involved the danger may be nuilifed by that
pleasant renal tonic and diuretic, Hoste tier s

amount of tone to the organs, without over ex-
citing them, and the use of which is convent
ent, and involves no elaborate preparation.
Dyspepsia, a usual concomitanJ OF renal COM

produce, are remedied by it. so also con-

Let folks say what they will
If silver scours pewter cup
1t will be pewter still.
Zen of old Solomon,
Who said g TRAIN up a child"
If mistake not had a son
Prove rattle-brained and wild.
A man of mark who fain would pass
For lord of sea and land,
May have the training of son,
And bring him up full grand
May give him all the wealth of lore,
Of college and of school,
Yet, after all, make him no more
Than just decent fool.

Upon his bitter bread,
Whose road to knowledge is like that
The good to heaven must tread +;
He's got spark of natures light.
He II fan it to a flame,
Till in its burning letters bright
The world may read his name.
If it were all in 6 bringing up'
In counsel and restraint,
Some rascals had been honest men,
I'd been myself saint.
Oh. it ISM all in - bringing up"
Let folks say what they will;

BLAINE ON THE TARIFF.

Blaine, "that it would vastly enlarge
our imports, while the only export it
would seriously increase would be
our gold and silver. That would
flow out bouuteonsly, just as it did
under the tariff of 1916. The Presi.
dents recommendation enacted into
law would result, as did an experl.
ment in drainage of a man who
wished TO turn a swamp into pro.
ductive field. He dug a drain to a
neighboring river, but it happened,
unfortunately, that the level OF the
river was higher than the level of
the swami. The consequence need
not be told. A parallel would be
found when the Presidents policy in
attempting to open a channel for an
increase of exports should simply
succeed in making way for a delug-
ing inflow OF fabrics to the destruc.
ton of home industry"
But don't you thing it important
to increase our export trade 2"
Undoubtedly but it is vastly
more important not to lose our own
great market for our own people in
effort to reach the impossible. 1t is
not our foreign trade that has caus-
ed tue wonderful growth and expan-
sion of the republic. 1t is the vast
domestic trade between thirty eight
states and eight territories, with
their population of, perhaps, $4,000,
600 to-day. The whole amount of
our export and import trade together
has never, think, reached 81 300,
100000 any one year. Our internal
home trade on 10000 miles of rail.
way, along $4,000 miles Of ocean
coast, over the five great lakes and
along 10000 miles of navigable
rivers, reaches the enormous annual
aggregate of more than 1000, 00O,-
90, and perhaps this year $50, 900,
OUO.OOO.
sit is into this illimitable trade,
even now in its infancy and destin-
ed to attain magnitude not dream
ed OF twenty years ago, that the En-
ropeans are struggling to enter. 1t
is the heritage of the American
people, of their chlldren's children.
1t gives an absolutely Free Trade
over territory nearly as large as all
Europe, and the profit is all our
own. The genuine Free Trader ap.
pears unable to see or comprehend
that this continental trade-uot our
exchanges with Europe-is the great
source of our prosperity. President
Cleveland now plainly proposes a
policy that will admit Europe to q
share of this trade.
"But you are in favor of extend.
ing our foreign trade, are you not ~
"Certainly Fam, in all practical
and advantageous ways, but not on
the principal of the Free Traders,
by which we shall be constantly ex-
changing dollar for dime. Moreover,
the foreign trade is often very deiu-
sive. Cotton is manufactured in the
city of my residence. If a hox of
cotton goods is sent 200 miles to the
province of New Brunswick it is
foreign trade. II shipped 1900
miles round Cape Horn to Washing
ton Territory it is domestic trade.
The magnitude of the Union and the
immensely of its internal trade re
qulre new political economy. The
treatises written for European states
do not grasp our peculiar situation"
