GRAINS OF GOLD.

Virtue by calculation is the virtue of
vice.
We ask advice, but we mean approba-
tion.
1t is well to think well. 1t is divine
to act well.
Many mans tongue shakes out his
masters undOing.
He that labors is tempted by one dev-
il; he that is idle, by a thousand.
All virtue lies in individual action,
in inward energy, in self-determinatiOn.
1t is the merit of those who praise that
makes the value of the recommendation.
Speaking much is a sign of vanity; for
he that is lavish in words is niggard in
deed.
Self-love leads men of narrow minds
to measure all mankind by their own ca
pacity.
Virtue is everywhere the same, because
it comes from God, while everything else
is of man.
An effort made with ourself for the
good of others, with the intention of
pleasing God alone.
All other love is extinguished by self
love; beneficence, humanity, justice,
philosophy, sink under it.
Virtue and vice are both prophets; the
first, of certain good; the second, of pain
or else penitence.
Think nothing a trifle though it small
,all 10 fbo
ments make the year, and trifles life.
All! when shall all mems good be each
mans rule, and universal peace lie like
a shaft of light across the land?
Nothing is so capable of diminishing
self-love as the observation that we dis
approve at one time what we approve at
another.
would be Yirtuous for my own sake,
though nobody were to know it; as l
would be clean for my own sake, though
nobody were to see me.

FACTS FOR COLORED MEN.

i fAG1S fOil AAIlzDnED
We invite the attention of all self-re-
specting colored men to the following
eloquent and truthful remarks by one of
their own race, Mr.. W. II. Bonaparte, OF
Providence, r. 1:
Until negro girls are free from the out
RACES of Southern white men of the
Democrat party; until the wives and
daughters of respectable cOlOred men
can occupy seats in other than smoking
cars in Democrat States; until colored
ministers and teachers can ride in first
class cars after paying first-class fares in
Democrat States; until negro citizens are
tried by jury in Democratic States, nc
colored citizen should vote Democrat
ballot.
A carefully kept record shows over ten
thousand black citizens executed in Dem
ocrat States since 1870 who never looked
upon a jury, whose bodies have been
found hanging to tree limbs at early
dawn. Three thousand colOred girls be-
tween the ages of 10 and Is have been
brutally assaulted by white men at the
South and no one brought to trial. No
colored voter with the spirit of Irish OF
German manhood would dare lend aid
to the Democrat party.
To-day the negro of this country stands
before us a race robbed, wronged, and
outraged by the hands of this same De
mocracy, whose cornerstone was slavery,
and whose very last pillar of hope is the
suppression of negro suffrage. With
the birth of the Republican party and
its final triumph came negro freedom
and suffrage, and these sacred gifts are
to-day torn from his grasp only in those
States where Democracy rules with a
high hand. How can an honest negro
vote with such party?''
In view of the facts above related, and
of many others of like import, it is ap-
parent that no colOred man who respects
himself or his race, or who is not that
meanest of all human beings, an migrate,
will now, or at any other time, be found
in the Democratic party or voting the
Democratic ticket.

EXHAUSTED VITALITY
JNFANTILE SKIN DISEASES,

Our eldest child, now six years of age, when an
infant six months old was attacked with vrulent,
malignant skin disease. All ordinary remedies
failing,we called our family physician, who attempt
ed to cure it; but it spread with almost incredible
rapidlty, until the lower portion of the little fel
lows person, from the middle of the back down to
his knees,w one solid rash-ugly painful blOtch-
ed, and malicious. We had no rest at night, no
peace by day. Finally, we were advised to try the
Cuticura Remedies The effect was simply mary
elOus In three or four weeks complete cure was
wrought, leaving the little fellows person as white
and healthy as though he had never been attacked
In my OpinlOn your valuable remedies saved his
life, and to-day he is strong, healthy child, per-
fectly well, no repetition having ever occurred

Under the law of 1867, which was in
force till March 3, 1888, the duty on all
imported woods of class No. l, valued at
30 cents per pound or less, was 10 cents
per pound and II per cent. ad valorem,
and all woods valued at over 81 cents per
pound at the port of shipment II cents
per pound and 10 per cent. ad valOrem.
The law of 1888 simply dropped the ad
valorem duties and made the line of di-
vision between the two rates 30 cents
per pound instead of 30. Hence the
law of 1888 was intended to reduce the
duty on the woods imported for clothing
and like purposes II per cent. This, on
wool costing at that time in London 20
cents per pound, would only be a little
over cents a pound. But in order to
make a liberal calculation let us call it
y cents per pound; and if the reduction
of the law of 1888, which l am placing
at q cents, entailed loss on these
counties shown in this table, it is fair to
suppose that placing wool on the free
list, which will reduce the duty four
times as much by removing the present
duty of 10 cents per pound, will make
the losses four times as much, and |
have prepared the following table, sup
posing the number of sheep to be the
same now as then:

diminished value of the sheep, the di-
minished value of the land, the loss of
employment, the reduction in the price
of labor, and divers other losses, occa-
stoned by lowering the duty on wool.
which was estimated in this pamphlet
at many millions of dollars. The pam
phlet promised that the Democratic par
ty would restore the duty.
The result was that the Republican
party of Ohio was defeated on account
of this reduction of the duty on wool,
and the Democrats elected the State
ticket, the Legislature, and a United
States Senator. In 1884 the Ohio Leg
islature, which was Democratic, adopted
resolutions condemning the reduction of
the duty on wool, and requested the
Ohio Senators and Representatives to
use all honorable means to restore it as
it existed prior to 1888. The Ohio Dem
Ocratic State Convention in 1884 that
elected delegates to the National Con-
ventiOn that nominated Grover Cleve-
land, and the Convention held in 1885,
after his Inauguration. continued TO cry
aloud for the restoration of the duty on
wool. And in none of these Democrat
ic conventions nor in the Democratic
Legislature was there a single Democrat
who voted against the demand for the
restoration of the duty on wool. In
few months all is changed. The Ohio
Democrats who so bitterly denounced
what they called the 'infamy of the
FOrty-seyenth Congress" the ''leecing
of the flock masters out of S6,000,0O0 in
Ohio" are now keeping step to the mu
sic of Grover Cleveland'S free trade
message.
The pamphlet to which have referred
was issued by the Democratic commit
tee, and endorsed by the Democratic
press and by the Democratic speakers
of Ohio in the campaign of 1888, and it
contained the following estimate of
losses on the wool and sheep of the dis
trict which | have the honor to repre-
sent. This is the estimated loss on the
wool clip of 1888, the year following the
reduction of the duty, which was made

The talk that we need foreign woods
to mix with ours in order to improve the
value of both is the merest twaddle.
There is no article worn by the sons or
daughters of Adam that can not be
made of American wool, as has been
shown by manufacturers on this floor
We can grow any kind of wool that can
be produced in any part of the world,
and we will have no need whatever of
imported wool as soon as we are permit
ted to supply the American demand.
The fact is that American wool, such
as is grown in Ohio and in other North
ern States where sheep are housed and
fed, is the best wool grown anywhere in
the world, and it is only mixed with for
eign woods as good flour is mixed with
bad-to cheaper the product and not to
improve the quality. The fiber is strong
er and cloth made OF II is better and
will wear better, and haye 10 hesita-
tion in saying that our best ohio wool
is worth fully One-third more per pound
than the great bulk of imported wool,
and if used in carpets, even the wear of
the carpets would be as much greater as
