Every solitary kind action that is
done the world over is working brisk

Some people are always finding fault
with nature for putting thorns on ros-

A more glorious victory can not be
gained over another man than this,

ours.

Christianity requires two things
from every man who believes in it !;
first, to acquire property by just and
righteous means and second, to look
not only Oh his own things, but also
OH the things of others.

Oomrarative statlstics.

The farmers want high prices for their
land and Its product. They also desire
continuous and profitable market. The
distribution of manufacturing plants has
furnished the market and the prices. In
Pennsylvania, Illinois and Virginia, for
example, the per capita of investment in
manufactures and the price of farm lands
have Il proportionate ratio. The more
manufacturing the more the land increases
in average value. Around the manufact-
uring regions of the South farm lands and
products have relatively risen in response
to the newly developed wealth creation,
which attracts capital and numbers, pur-
chasing and consuming all that the farm
ers can produce. Some Of the most natu-
rally sterile lands on this continent have
been wonderfully increased in value be-
cause of a prodigious manufacturing en-
vironment, while some of the most fertile
acres on the earth are held at nominal rates
merely because mining and manufacturing
are either discouraged or do not exist in
those localities.
IL ought not to need demonstration that
the farmers OF the country are specially
interested in protection that encourages
manufacturing. As manufactures progress,
agricultural lands will become more valua-
bic, and all they produce will find ready
and prosperous markets at home, where
the money is redistributed and circulated.
We hear much talk about certain portions
OF this country being agricultural" We
also hear that these sections are poor. An
exclusively agricultural people can never
be rich, but mining and manufacturing,
along with farming, combine to produce
opulence. The hope of any common
wealth is diversihcatlon of industry in the
fields and in the shops. The more Balti-
more, for instance, augments her manu-
featuring, the more will her farming lands
round about rise in value. The more Ma
ryland grows in manufacturing at all avail
able points, the more will the farmers Of
the State prosper.
If, then, it be true that manufacturing,
instead Of injuring the farmer, is his best
friend, the protection of the manufacturer
against legislative destruction and undue
foreign competition is just as much the
concern Of the farmer as anybody else.
Men who pirate of cheapness and free trade
are no friends of the farmer, whose best
market is at home, and whose best CUSTOM
ers are the wage workers of the manu-
featuring districts. 1t would be a glorious
thing for Maryland farmers if manufactur-
ing increased hundredfold in this State.
1t would be disastrous to Maryland farm
ers if free traders were to succeed in Grip
pling or destroying mechanical industry.
The only uncertainties in trade and COM
merce to-day are found in the attacks of
the President and his followers upon the
protective system Of this country. The
farmers are just as much interested as the
manufacturers in defeating a party that
periodically menaces the general welfare

ADVICE Oh MARRIAGE.
Some Sensible Suggestions Upon the SUI


Some Sensible Suggestions Upon the Sub
jet.
Parents who have the happiness and
well-being of their daughters at heart are
inclined to be watchful when some Young
man wishes TO carry off the daughter they
have loved and cared for all her life; and
parents generally are sensible enough to
know what Is best for their daughters, and
can understand mans motives far better
than the girl can. If they have real rea-
son to think their daughter is sought for
mercenary reasons, they would be derelict
indeed if they did not oppose.
No, il is not because the parents are anv
more watchful of their daughters than pa
rents ever have been, but the daughters as
well as the parents prefer to Judge who are
the "prizes," of which there is but the
smallest number The prizes are not those
young men who smoke and smoke and
chew and chew until they are narcotized
and nicotinized that they haven't an idea
above cigar or glass of rum The prizes
are not those who pass by on the other
side TO avoid meeting their tailor or shoe
maker.
I The reason girls do not marry is because
they are better educated than girls were
formerly; therefore, their prospective fac
ulties are cultivated, and they see how the
large majority of married women are I'm.
happy. Girls are educated to be indie
pendent and self-supporting, and when a
girl can earn what money she wants she is
contented and does not have to marry for
home. Half the girls that do marry do
SO because they want homes, and because
they do not know how to do anything that
is remunerative.
If you will notice the list of those to
whom marriage licenses are granted. the
majority of women are % years old and
upward, which shows that the girls are not
in hurry to marry.
Girls, don't imagine that young man is
going to do any better after marrying than
before. He usually deteriora,es. If he
chews, drinks intoxicants, is careless, is
impolite, marrying won't change him.
Don't marry man to reform him. You
can't do it. He will drag you down if
possible; at least he will ruin your bappi-
ness.
Girls, fit yourselves for something use
ful. Learn to do something well, and do
it even if your parents are able to keep
you without work. Be a success. 1t is
your duty to work as well as your broth
ers. There are so many employments
open for women that there is 10 excuse for
women to marry for home. If man
has nothing let him make something. If
he has nothing when he is old enough to
marry it is not likely that he ever will
have.-Pdcifc Farmer
