The United States is the largest
consuming nation per capita of any
on the globe, and the reason OF it
is that our wage earners are better
paid than any other, and 1t is clear
to my mind that the operation of a
protective tariff is the reason of it.
II we should reduce the tariff on
articles into which labor enters
largely in the cost; the forces of
steam and electricity which have
so reduced the time and cost ofim-
porting goods into this country,
would without any doubt bring the
cheap labor OF Europe in direct and
Immediate competition with our
own labor. Europe has the carry
ing trade on the ocean in her own
hands; do net want to have them
convey our raw products to Europe
in their vessels at the expense of our
producers, and there convert them
into manufactured product with
her cheap labor, and return them to
us, whenit will surely have the ef-
feet of reducing tho price of labor
that produces tho same articles IN
the United States. All these are
potent reasons to my mind why we
should oppose the reelection OF
President Cleveland in 1888. |

LINCOLN.

We spent a portion of two days
Ia Lincoln the torepart of the week.
The roads leading to our County
Seat are yillianously bad. The word
"villianous," is the only appropri-
ate one we can think OF, and a rid e
over them causes the rider to teel
that at the coming election all 9th
er officers to be elected sink into
insigniIicance compared with that
of County Commissioners and as he
contemplates his chances of getting
his neck broken he feels as though
the operation ought to be antici
pated by the breaking of the necks
of the commissioners. During
court season all roads lead to LIN
coin and the perils there ought TO
be sufficient without aggraYating
them enroute.
The political cauldron we found
bubbling and >eethlng hot. Demo
Gratis were all by the ears. Sigh
was there seeking a combination
through which III payment for votes
cast Tor his son George he was to
deliver the Alliance vote over to
the Democracy, The Alliance men
heard of the proposed deal and were
wroth in declaring that Sigh was
buying short and would find it i'm
possible to deliver the goods in
November. We anticipate lots OF
fun, commencing to day, when all
parties will be stripped for the
fight.
But little court business was done
before we left on Wednesday and
that little is reported in to-day's

ders on the book ahead of the one

account, that Judge Long was un-
able to take our measure this week.

a regular contributor to the Kpicker-

"Recollections of Abbotsford," and
"Newstead Abbey" besides other mis-

diplomatic duties were unusually deli

A Beauty Doctor.

There is woman in New York who
has a growing clientele of patients
coming TO her to be treated for ugli-
ness. They may be in perfect health
physically, but not quite at peace in
their minds because of defects which
render them unpleasing in the eyes of
their fellow mortals, and she ministers
to this mind diseased by curing, as far
as possible, the complaint of plainness.
Women go to her to be made thinner or
stouter, to have their color heightened
or reduced, to be treated for ugly COM
plexions, red eyes, thin hair, round
shoulders, and all the physical faults
which make tire difference between
beauty and the lack of it. To women
who are too stout she recommends a
bath of salt water in the morning, two
or three handfuls of rock salt being put
in the bath over night and allowed to
dissolve. They must be rubbed dows
with heavy Turkish towel after thil
salt bath, and are to sleep on hard beds,
while the only internal treatment she
prescribes is Congress water and a grain
or two of roasted coffee, to be chewed
half an hour before meals, which will
greatly lessen the appetite for food.
She suggests diet of crosses, lettuce,
and spinach, with desserts of Iceland
moss jellies.
Thin women she feeds on carrots and
parsnips, and doses them with o few
drops of acid phosphate before meals
to give them an appetite for the mullins,

Zuni blankets.

Mr.. Cushing, by his arduous re-
searches, has made us conyersant with
the Zuni Indians, the strangest tribe
oil the continent. They'are what the
Western people call tame" Indians,
and much more industrious than any
other tribe.
Their chief article of manufacture is
blankets, and they are well worth the
money asked for them, faf exceeding
any made by white people.
The Zunis take the wool as it comes
off the sheep, color it, spin it into
thread, and then turn it over to the
squaws, who make the blankets, every
thing being done by hand alone. The
prices for blankets range from five dol
lars to fifty dollars.
To show how superior they are, it is
only necessary to say that one can be
tied by the corners, and thus hold a
quantity of water for several days with
out letting a drop come through or
changing color in the least.-GoldeE

Ard now word about the surplus in the

was passed, there were more than a
million and half of slaves, valued in
money at nearly 100000, 900. The
law of 1871 provided that all children
of slave mothers should have their free
dom, though they should still serve as
apprenticesUntil they were twenty-one
years of age. These apprentices might
appeal to the courts for protection in
case they were cruelty treated. The
law also established an emancipation
fund. Meanwhile the Brazilian Gov
eminent freed all the slaves it owned.
The result of the law of 1871 did not
content Dom Pedro, who was ardently
DESTROYS that the stigma Of slavery
should be removed from his empire
as quickly as possible. BY its slow OPP
Grafton only ~ 900 slaves had been
freed in four years. So, in 1875,
another law was passed, providing for
the payment to owners of the adjudged
value of their slaves, while all slaves
over the age of sixty years were freed
at stroke.
The third law, which was passed in
May of this year, by both Deputies and
Senators, and received the assent of
the Princess Isabel, regent, makes the
redemption and freedom of all the
slaves yet in bondage in the empire inn
mediate. One of the striking features
of this beneficent event is that slavery
has been abolished in Brazil, not, as
was the case in this country, as vio-
lent result of war, nor, as serfdom was
abolished by Russia, by the fat of an
absolute sovereign, but by the force OF
growing and finally victorious public
opinion. The slaves are freed ON
moral grounds The Brazilians have
done with slavexy, because they recog.
nize it as a great wrong. Thus slavery
disappears from the last Christian
country in which it has existed, and
from the American continent altogether
The news of the event reached the
Brazilian Emperor in far-off Italy
where he lay stri ken with a grave
malady. 1t is gratifying that he has
lived to see the good cause of freedom
which he has so long championed, VIII
