Voters of Garrett county, this
whole Free Trade business is for the
benefit ofthe capitalist. and from Free
Wool all the way down it means
cheapness, cheap imported wool
clothes, cheap iron, cheap glass, and
everywhere. 1t means
foreign goods of every description
and cheap American labor. DON'T
forget that the first one always to
suffer is the labOrer, then the farmer.
The last to suffer always is the man
of capital, whose income is secure no
matter what happens.

Suppose the prospective voter sits
down a moment and considers the
following: Great Britain has ruined
every country in the world which she
has persuaded or forced into free
trade. England, indeed, is the COM
mercial pirate of the world. She is
now straining her utmost to rob the
United States of its industries and get
control of our market. If she sue
ceeds. every workingman and work.
ingwoman in this country will be
brought to comparative poverty.

War to the Knife.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-The Demo-
cratic business men in this city pro-
pose to have their big parade next
Saturday afternoon. 1t was arranged
that President Cleveland and Goyer-
nor David 3. Hill should review the
parade jointly from stand erected
opposite the Worth monument on
Fifth avenue. Tonight it was stated
officially that Governor Hill refused
to review the parade in personal as
ISOLATION with President Cleveland.
This announcement tell like thun-
der-clap upon the Democrats of the
city and created widespread conster-
nation. 1t means more than appears
on the surface. 1t is simply war to
the knife and the knife to the hilt on
election day.

ut is certainly very desirable to
have Christian gentlemen elected to
the presidency of the United States"
says the Temperance Ec0nQeIjst.
Eight years ago the lamented Gar.
field IAN elder in the Christian Church,
was chosen. This year we have two
Christian men nominated for that
high office-General Clinton B. Fisk,
a Methodist layman, and General
Benjamin Harrison, an elder in the
Presbyterian Church. 1t is conceded
that General Fisk has no hope of
election, leaving the choice between
General Harrison, a soldier of the
cross and of our country, and the
present incumbent, who is a soldier
neither of the cross nor of his coun-
country" Reason would dictate to
the Christian and loyal voters of this
nation for which candidate they
should cast their ballots this Fall.

The BIoodthirsty Weasel.
youths Companion.l

The common weasel, or ermine is one of the
most bloodthirsty of animals. 1t has been
known TO kill forty well-grown fowls in a single
night. ever victorious" says Dr. c. IL. Mer-
riam, in his Mammals of the AdirondacSs," !"
of "pre-eminenta assurance, this indomitable little
animal is, in courage, ferocity and audacity al
most without parallel among the mammals" I"
He describes scene which seems TO prove his
statement.
/ once put very large rat in a square tin
cage with a weasel. The rat had been caught
in steel trap by the toes of one of his hind feet
and was in no way injured.
He was very ugly and bit fiereely at the trap
and at the stick with which assisted him into
the weasePs cage, but no sooner had he entered
the cage than his whole manner and bearing
changed. He immediately assumed an attitude
of abject terror, trembled from head to foot,
and crawled into the nearest corner.
The weasel advanced toward him at once,
and as he did so the rat rose upon his hind
legs, let his forepaws hang helplessly over his
breast and squealed piteously. He showed
neither disposition to fight nor to defend him.
self when attacked.
The weasel did not seize him at first, but
cuffed him with his forepaws and drove him
from one corner of the cage to another, glaring
at him continuously. Then suddenly he
sprang upon his victim, already paralyzed with
fear, laid open the back of his head with a sin
gle bite, ate the brains, and left the quiyering
carcass untouched.

Again Biddulph did not reply for few
minutes. Again ho began walking slowly
up and down the room, with his eyes cast
upon the floor; and the woman kept iugi-
lively watching him, while she affected TO
be warming her feet at the fire.

The woman shrugged her shoulders.
"AIy dear" she said, ''you do not per-

temptuously; and then he sat down ut the
writing-table, and proceeded to draw a
cheque for the money he had promised.
After he had done this, he rose and went
towards her.

plush bag she carried in her hand.
For the present" she said. "And now

out her hand. But Biddulph did not take it.
"This is but mockery," he said.
"What won'tyou shake hands? Come,
don't be so surly;" and again she held out
her hand.
''It is no natter" and Biddulph did
now stretch out his hand. But as his
cold, frigid fingers touched hers the wom-
an flung them scornfully back.
"Thank you for small merciesW she
cried; Il can live without you or your
hand-clasp" And the next moment she
was gone, and Biddulph sank down on a
chair and covered his face with his hands.
Il would rather be dead than this" he
was thinking, with intense bitterness.
"Would that either she or | were dead!"

the brute had he continued straight on,
but the boar had evidently had enough

at me like a dart. My spear caught him

he was, so great was the impetus Of our

and c. called ont, "Aly spears point is

blood, which poured down from wound
inflicted in his head by C.'s broken spear,
which otherwise would have penetrated
the brain, and, with every bristle ON end

at me, the very impersOnation OF rage and
