FULL FREE TRADE,

When one child of family of six is
stricken down with the scarlet fever the
free trader would comfort the family in
this way you have six children, and
only one of them has the disease; that il
not maady, it is only one sixth of u
malady.' The mother and father of the
sick child are not to be fooled by that
kind of arithmetic, and they keep the
other children at a safe stance. for
they know that the house contains a
case Of sickness that is a complete whole.
The free trader uses the same false logic
when he attempts to inform the great
family of American working people that
free wool, and free that, are not cases
of complete free trade, but only one
third or one-half free trade. The peo-
pie will not be deceived in this way. 1t
is full free Trade so far as it concerns the
articles that are admitted free. i Phia.

A WARNING.

The modes Of deaths approach are
various, and statistics show conclusively
that more persons die from diseases of
the Throat and Lungs than any other.
1t is probable that everyone, without ex-
ception, receives vast numbers of Tuber-
Gle Germs into the system and where
these germs fall upon suitable soil they
start into life and develop, at first slowly
and is shown by slight tickling sensa
ton in the throat and if allowed to con-
tinue their ravages they extend to the
lungs producing Consumption and TO
the head, causing Catarrh. Now all this
is dangerous and II allowed to proceed
will in time cause death. At the onset
you must act with pfomptness; allowing
a cold to go without attention is danger
GUS and may lose you your life. As soon
as you feel that something is wrong

WHY IT'S PREFERABLE.

1t is free trade that is proposed, not
tariff reform. When the President in
his message, and the secretary Of the
treasury in his report, advised the reten.
ton of the Internal revenue, and main.
tanned silence as to the great sugar taxes,
urging the removal of the surplus who'll
" by the removal or reduction of pro-
tective duties, they committed them
selves to free trade in a manner which
no form of vague and soothing words
could disguise. When the majority in
the House unite on such measure as
the Mills tariff, with its comparatively
slight reduction Of sugar duties and In
ternal revenue, and its wholesale attack
on all the protective duties, they commit
themselves to free trade. Had they
aimed merely at reducing the surplus,
they would have got rid Of it more sure.
ly and speedily by reducing the tobacco
taxes, repeating the burdensome tax on
alcohol used in the arts and by abolish
ing the sugar duties. 1t is all very well
to say, as have heard free traders de-
clare, that no one thinks of destroying
the tariff, or of immediate free trade;
but the adoption of the principles of the
Presidents message, or the enactment
of the Mills tariff, would break down the
entire protective system within two
years, and whatever may be said, that is
what they intend to do From a speech
at Cambridge by Henry Cabot Lodge.

Congressman Reed, in the Independ-
ent, gives this effective illustration of
the misleading character Of the Demo
cratic statement of tariff percentages:
at is time To show what they call
merely Z per cent. reduction really is.
Some articles we use much of. or
others we use very little. In this new
doctrine of percentages quantity plays
no part. Tannic acid at i79 per cent,
of which We use ounces, counts az
much as metals at 3S per cent. of which
we use thousands of tons, We import
5000 dollars worth of the acid and
SIT 200, 900 worth of the metals Any
body can see the folly of adding these
percentages together and saying that the
average protection on tannIc acid and
metals is III per cent. And yet just in
that way Is this slight-of hand percent.

The tariff reform which the President
recommends goes as far at least as the
abolition or reduction OF the duties on
raw materials. Should Congress give
effect to this proposal its immediate re-
Hult would be an enormous stimulus to
English industry. Iron, though a pro-
duct of manufacture, is in one sense a
raw material, and the removal of the
duties on iron would stimulate the iron
industry IN this country. The abolition
OF duty on wool, which the President
mentions, would also probably lead to q
great export of wool 10 America and a
considerable rise in the price Of that
commodity. Il Peoples Journal, Dundee.

ENGINEERS AND THEIR IRON PETS

1t is quite natural that the engineers,
or runners" as they generally call
themselves, who have the care of the
locomotives shonld take a deep interest
and acquire a sort of attachment for
them. In the early days of railroading
this was much more the case than 1t is
now. Then each locomotive had an in
dividuality of its own. 1t was rare that
two engines were exactly alike. Nearly
always there was some difference in
their proportions, or one engine had
some device in it which the other had
not. Now, many locomotives are made
exactly alike, or as nearly so as the
most improved machinery will permit.
There is nothing to distinguish the one
from the other. Therefore Bony Smith
can claim no superiority for his machine
which Windy Brown has not the advan-
tage of. In the old days, too, each en-
CINE had its own runner and fireman,
and it seldom fell into the hands of any
one else, and those in charge of it took
as much pride in keeping It bright as
the character in Pinafore did ''in pol
ishing up the handle of the big front
door" On many roads-particularly
the larger ones-engines are not as
signed to special men. The system of
first in first out" has been adopted,
that is, the engines are sent out in the
order in which they come in, and the
men take whichever machine happens
to fall to their lot This naturally re-
suits in a loss of personal attachment to
special engines.
Every change in the construction, al
teration in the proportions, or addition
to the attachments of locomotives is
subject of intense interest to the men
and a topic of endless discussion at all
times and places. The theories which
are propounded and the yarns which
are spun while sitting around hot stoves,
in round houses, or waiting for passing
trains on side tracks, would fill many
books. Jack never tires of telling what
his engine did when "she was going up

MARY,s LITTLE LAMB.

The Mary who "had a little lamb is
still living. About seventy five years
ago she was a little girl, the daughter of
a farmer IN Worcester county, Mass.
She was fond of going with her father
into the field to see the sheep, and one
day they found baby lamb which they
thought to be dead. Kind hearted little
Mary, however, lifted it up in her arms.
aud as it seemed to breathe she carried
it home. made it warm bed near the
stove, and nursed it tenderly. Great
was her delight when, after weeks of
careful feeding and watching her little
patient began to grow well and strong,
and soon after it was able to run about.
1t knew its young mistress perfectly, al
ways came at her call. and was happy
only when at her side.
One day it followed her to the village
school, and not knowing what else to do
with it she put it under her desk and
covered it with her shawl. There it
stayed until Mary was called up to the
teachers desk to say her lesson and then
the lamb walked quietly after, and the
other children burst out laughing, So
the teacher had TO shut out the little
girls pet in the woodshed until school
was out. Soon after this a young stu
dent, named John Rollstone, wrote a
poem about Mary and her little lamb
and presented it to her. The lamb grew
10 be a sheep and lived for many years
and when at last it died Mary grleved SO
much for it that her mother took some
of the wool, which was las white as
snow" and knitted pair of stockings
for her to wear in remembrance Of her
darling. Some years after the lambs
death Mrs. Sarah Hill Hale II a cele-
brated woman who wrote books, COM
posed some verses about Mary's lamb
and added them to those written by
John Rollstone, making the complete
poem rs we know it.
Mary took such good care of the stock
ings made Of her lambs fleece that when
she was a grown.up woman she gave
one Of them to a church fair in Boston
As soon as it became known that the
stocking was made from the fleece OF
Mays little lamb" every one wanted
piece of it; so the stocking was raveled
out and the yarn cut into short pieces,
Each piece was tied to card on which
MARY wrote her full name, and these
cards sold 50 well that they brought the
large sum of $l4 to the Old South
Church. -IAmerIcan Notes and Queries

EAST LOCOMOTIVE RUNNING.

The relative speed of trains here and
in Europe has been the subject of a good
deal of discussion and controversy re
Gently. There appears to be very little
difference in the speed OF the fastest
trains here and there; but there are
more of them there than we have, From
AZ to 50 miles an hour, including stops,
IS about the fastest time made by any
regular train on the summer time ia
bles.
When this rate of speed is compared
with that of sixty or seventy miles an
hour, which Is not infrequent for short
distances, there seems to be a great dis
crepancy, 1t must be kept in mind,
though, that these high rates Of speed
are attained under very favorable condi
tions. That is, the track is straight and
level, or perhaps descending, and unob-
structed, In ordinary traffic it is never
certain that the line is clear, A locomo
tive runner must always be on the look
out for distractions. Trains, ordinary
vehicles, fallen tree or rock, cows and
people may be in the way at any mo-
ment. Let anyone imagine himself in
responsible charge OF a locomotive and
he will readily understand that, with the
slightest suspicion that the line in not
clear, he would slacken the speed as a
precautionary measure. For this reason
fast time or railroad depends as much
on having good signal system to assure
the locomotive runners that the line is
clear, as it does on the locomotives. If
he is always liable to encounter, and
must be on the lookout for Instructions
at frequent grade crossings of common
roads. or if he is not certain whether the
train in front Of him is out of his way or
not. the locomotive runner will be ner-
vOus and be almost sure to lose time.
If the speed is to be increased on Amer
lean railroads, the first steps should be
to carry all streets and common loads
either over or under the lines, have the
lines well fenced provide abundant side
tracks for trains, and adopt efficient sys-
TENS Of signals 30 that locomotive run.
ners can know whether the line is clear
or not From American Locomotives

A STORY OF BARrLEY CAMPBELL.

A Pittsburg correspondent Of the New
York Sun says: Barley Campbell was
born and raised IN Pittsburg. Those
who knew him when he worked in a
brick yard describe him as a tall, gaunt,
numbering boy, with enormously long
legs and arms, and shock of curly un-
manageable hair. He received Sc a
week. He and many others filled small
boXlike mOulds, smoothed off the top,
and inverted them upon drying board.
One day couple of Englishmen of the
bloody 'blawsted" variety strolled
in, and finally stopped near the board
where BARLEY was slapping out bricks.
well, me good man." said one of
them patronizingly, you seem to be
rawther busy"
"Ya-as" replied Compbell, scraping
off the mould, you see we have an or

they want with bricks9n

BARLEY. ITS the Irish societies that

of that? What a bloody, :murderous

The signs of the times continue to
greatly alarm the Democrats. Business
failures like that of the great California
house of w. T. Coleman & Co., whose
head has been prominent Democrat Of
the Pacific slope, brought about directly
by tariff agitation, and the suspension
of work in factories and manufactures,
as a consequence Of that same mischiev-
GUS agitation, are having an alarming
effect on the free trade party. With
Characteristic effrontery, however, it, Is
now seeking to make the country be-
lieve that business disasters are due to
the false issues" raised by the Repub-
licans. The latter are accused of trying
to brighten business men, so that bust.
ness panic can be brought about, This
is the extreme of absurdity. Business
men whose affairs are in healthy con-
dition cannot be frightened out of their
wits by newspaper clamor: and no news
paper conducted with ordinary sagacity
would undertake to buck its head
against the stonewall of public opinion.
The press Of today reflects and does not
create public opinion, aud if there is
dismay and timidity in business circles,
it is because clear headed business men
consider that the action Of the Demo-
cratic party gives them just cause for
apprehension. Il Telegram.
