 If they had rc-established the Democratic poIlcy ofa lower tariff their business would now be boom ing. They want larger market for their products. if they could get access to the markets of the whole world they would undcrsclI all competitors and thelr mills might be run on full time with prof its to owners and worklngmen alike.
 But the Republican bosses won't admit this, and so the mlll owners must dodge bankruptcy if they can and the laborers must keep from starving if possible.

There is a young lady in De Land, Fla,

his moustache, and the young man, who is
quite fond OF that ornament, and also of the
young lady, said: mo; you can't have my
moustache unless you take me too.n That
fast young man is now going around with a

A Wedding Feast But No Bride.
The Huntsville (Ala.) Mercury tells of
a wedding supper given in that place,
which was interfered with by the
sudden determination of the BRIDE
elect to adhere to a life of single bless
edness. The prospective groom was
one Amos Banks and his intended wife
Matilda Robinson, both colored. On
the night set for the marriage the
guests had assembled, the minister had
arrived, the wedding feast was spread,
and the groom was on hand but Matilda
was missing. They tarried awhile, but
still she came not. The marriage sup
per was growing cold, and a few of the
guests who saw more good in one supper
thar twenty weddings, suggested that
the bride be notified to come. A com
mittee which was Their appointed to wait
upon her returned with the doleful
that Matilda had concluded to stay
single. This astounding information
spoiled the appetite of the groom, but it
only whetted those of the guests. The
latter ''fell too and the table hat
groaned with the weight of the feast
soon creaked on account of the light
ness thereof. The groom wasn't on
graduated to any great extent, but the
cook was. The wedding license was
returned to the clerk of the probate
Office, and that gentleman wrote across
