A great deal OF deception is practiced
by those who use the words Frce-Trade
at different times with different mean-
ings
President Cleveland, in his letter OF
acceptance, says: eve have entered
upon no crusade Of Free-Trade." Others
tell us that 30 long as we have 90 pro-
vide the expenses Of Government, there
must be duties on imports. and there
fore there can be no Free-Trade. I'm both
these statements, the expression Free
Trade is used in literal sense. meaning
trade absolutely unrestricted by any
legislation. But no such condition Of
things have ever existed among civilized
nations. and ii was unnecessary for the
President or his friends 90 disclaim the
idea OF wanting Free-Trade in that sense,
unless il was for the purpose OF mislead-
ing those who might infer that the words
Free-Trade were used in their true sense,
when treating Of Protection or Free
Trade: viz. IA the opposite OF Protec-
tion--tariff for revenue only. levied
without regard 60 its effect on labor and
industries. In this sense. the President
does not disclaim Free-Tade. His
friends do not disclaim il. Free-Traders.
all the world over. hail the message and
the Mills bill rs Free-Trade measures.
Professor Sumner, n candid Free
Trader, in the economic sense, has de-
fined Free-Trade in the following terms:
The term .sFree-Trade," although
much discussed, is seldom rightly de-
fined IL does not mean the abolition OF
custom-houses, nor does il mean the
substitution of direct for indirect tax
alton, as n few American disciples OF the
old school have supposed. IL means
such an adjustment Of taxes on imports
as will cause no diversion Of capital from
any channel into which IL would other
wise now into any other channel
opened or favored by the legislation
which enacts the customs. A country
may collect It's entire revenue by duties
on imports and yet be an entirely Free
Trade country so long as IL does not lay
those duties in such way as TO lead any
one 90 undertake any employment or
make an investment he would avoid in
the absence OF such duties. Thus the,
custom duties levied by England, with
very few exceptions, are not inconsistent
with her professions of being a country
which believes in Free-Trade.
Tested by the definition, il will be
foind that both the Presidents message
and the Mills bill have been justly pro-
nounced Free-Trade measures. and justly
welcomed MS such by Free-Trade press
and Free-Trade statesmen in every part
of the world.

Cheap Prices No tecompense for
Cheap Labor.

Free-trade economists and their less
intelligent followers always speak OF
low prices and cheapness as being the
same thing, which is an entire mistake.
Prices may be low, and the things very
dear: and the prices may be high, and
the things relatively very cheap. The
real test of the cheapness is not always
indicated by the number of cents given
for an article, but by the amount of
labor that is given for II. For example.
il wheat was twenty-five cents "A bushel
in Russia, and fifty cents a bushel in
America, il would be only half as dear
here as i'm the Cars country: because
at twenty-five cents a bushel the Rus
sian labor can barely procure two
bushels OF wheat for a days labor.
With wheat at fifty cents a bushel, the
average laborer can obtain nearly four
bushels for days work. Thus with
the price Of wheat twice as high here as
in Russia the laborer can obtain twice
as much for days work, and therefore
would be 50per cent. cheaper in America
than in Russia. Thus il is that if the
Chinaman could obtain shoes at fifteen
cents pair while the American laborer
gives two dollars, the Chinaman would
give more than six times as much for
his shoes as the American; because the
American laborer can obtain "a pair of
shoes for days work while the China
man would have to work more than a
week for pair. This is a point that
the laborers should never overlook, but
il is point upon which he is most con-
stantly humbugged. This principle is
we'll illustrated by the story of the
Irishman who, when complaining about
the price Of eggs, said he could get them
for six pence dozen in Ireland. But
when asked why he did not stay in Ire
land and buy his eggs, he replied, sand
faith | couldn't get the six pince there. -

with thick mass OF fine white hair
The parents We're greatly mortified.
and attempted TO remove the hairy
covering, but the attempt proved un
successful, and later the hirsute ph0
nomenon reappeared In denser form
than ever Physicians were summoned,
but they were unable to prescribe .
remedy, and advised the parents against
any further attempt at eradication.
The little girl is now sixteen months
old, and Is perfectly healthy aud Ms live
ly as cricket. Her growth is perfectly
natural, with tho exception that the
teeth have not appeared. as is usual
with children Of that age. The hair up
on the cheeks and chin is short and thick
but longer on the nose and forehead
and when permitted TO hang naturally
completely covers n PAIR Of bright blue
eyes. The ears are filled with fine white
hairs, which are now between three
and four inches in length, corresponding
with the growth on the forehead. Az
birth the hair on the back was several
inches in length, and the limbs were
thickly covered. giving them the ap-
pearance OF being encased in diminu.
tive toboggan suit, and the same condi-
ton exists, except that the friction OF
the clothing has evidently shortened
the hair.
When undisturbed the hair comes out
again and successfully defles all at
tempts at repression or curtailment.
The natural covering Of the head Is also
exceptionally heavy and long, but OF a
much darker shade than the silky mass
of the body and nearly concealing the
features. Notwithstanding the strange
growth, the appearance Of the little girl
is by no means repulsive, as is apt TO be
the case in instances of phenomenal de-
velopment. The father, who is con
tracing plasterer by occupation, has
been unable TO keep the little one, who
is the third child in the family, from be-
ing seen by outsiders, and its strange APP
pearance has attracted attention.
Mayor Ames and other physicians will
vouch for the accuracy Of the state
ments made in regard TO the case.

"The South for the past fifty years has
stood for free trade. South Carolina
sought TO nullify the laws OF the Gener-
al Government relating 10 tariff i'm 1888,
and when the South finally succeeded she
provided in her constitution that the
right OF property in the African slave
should never be questioned or denied,
and further, that no law should be pass
ed TO protect any industry in the Con-
fedency. The purpose of these provis-
ions was, first, 10 enslave the laboring
man and then 10 avoid granting him any
protection. While the South was doing
this the North was building up splen-
did system Of home industries with re-
suits which have surpassed anything
that has ever been known before in this
or any other country. Roger Q. Mills,

manner, and for having used extraordi-
nary means TO create prejudice against

sive arguments TO commend the destruc-

When understood by the people, the
Presidents method OF approaching the

in my Judgment. in the end prove one
of the potent causes of his defeat at the

A RED-H0T HUMMER.
Pain Inflicted by the old-Fashioned
Mexican Wasp.

Pain Inflicted by the ld-Fashioned
Mexican Wasp.
''If you have never been stung by an
old-fashioned Mexican wasp" writes
Charles Brazil from Pueblo. Col, ''it IL
an experience you want TO avoid careful
ly, contentng yourself with such i'm.
formation about the little beauty as you
can gather from third parties and docu-
ments. IL is, when mature and healthy.
about two inches long, with sting that
looks like the point OF a fine cambria
needle. IL is brownish-red in color, and
its disposition is always hostile. When
il stings you there is for moment or
two sensation Of numbness about the
part, which rapidly gives place TO a pain
that can only be described as agony.
If you could imagine how IL would feel
10 have a wire drawn through the most
sensitive part of your body and then
slowly raised TO white heat you
could perhaps from a theoretical idea of
what the feeling is like. The sting is
never fatal, and the pain passesaway af-
ter an hour or two, but IL is simply
anguish while IL lasts. During the
Mexican war one OF the companies OF
Douiphan's command camped in an old
building where there was a colony of
these wasps. They managed to disturb
the insects in some way and the com
pany was completely routed and demon
allied some OF the men ran miles away
from the place before they We're found
and gathered in again. Dr. Cunning, Of
Beshoar, Col, has made quite a study
of these articulates, which, he says, rep
resent an unclassidcd member of the
wasp family. There are, believe, no
living creature outside Of snakes, scor-
pions and centipedes which are able TO
inflict so much suffering on their en-
emies"

The difference.

One OF the differences between the
British free trader and his American imi-
tator is that the Briton knows what he is
talking about, while his American imi-
tator seldom does. The American imi-
tator is death on theory the British
merchant or statesman cares not a whit
for the most beautiful theory: il is the
cash i'm British pockets that he is looking
TO. Accordingly. Sir Charles Topper,
who is none the less Briton for being a
Canadian. told his constituents that IL
the Mills bill should pass the people of
the Dominion would be relieved of the
yearly payment OF 81 800, 900, now con-
tri5uted by them 10 the revenue of the
United States as duties on articles ex-
ported TO this country.
The Canadian Minister thus knocks the
pleadings OF the free traders of the
United States into unreconstructible
binders. For they tell US that the United
States purchaser of imports pays the
duty on them. Sir Charles knows better
than this, however. And so will any one
who takes serious thought. For il the
Canadian exporter, or the English ex-
porter either, added the United States
customs duty 10 the price Of his goods OF
what benefit would repeal OF the duties
be to themg Clearly none. The price
of goods being i'm Canada or England, say
s., and the United States import tariff
81, how would the Canadian or English
man be hurt If he got 50 after his goods
were landed hereg lie would not be
hurt at all. But when he sells here at
S., that being the price OF American
made goods OF like quantity with his
own, he pays the 81 Of duty out of his
own pocket, and thus gets but "a net for
his wares. The aggregate OF $500, 900
on Canadian imports is paid by the Cam
adams, not by the United States pur-
chaser. And so SirCharles congratulates
his friends that by the passage of the
Mills bill $500, 600 Of Canadian money
will be withdrawn from the revenue OF
the United States.
But why not take off like amount
from taxes paid by the people of the
United States7 Why object TO Canadians
helping 20 pay the expenses Of our gov
eminent? These questions are submitted
TO the Golden Club in America. Infer
