No Escape from an Inquisitive
Yankee.

Many years ago Mr.. Brown, ofLon-
jdon, Conn.,, was about to erect q
fence around one Of his lots in that
city, and in order to save himself
from the daily interrogatories which
he knew would be made by his neigh
bors and passers-by he had a sign
painted on which he displayed all the
information in regard to the fence
which he fancied could possibly be
desired or demanded. He narrated
concisely who was the owner of the
land; why he fenced it in; how much
lumber the fence was to contain;
where he bought and how much a
foot he paid for it; the quantity of
nails to be used; the name of the
builder and the exact amount ofland
to be inclosed.
Self-satisfed that he had answered
all the questions that could be asked
in regard to thefence, Mr.. BroWnwas
quite happy at the idea that he had
freed himself entirely from impertin-
emit inquiries.
But one night, orrather very early
on very disagreeable morning, Mr.
Brown was awakened from a deep
sleep by a loud knocking at his 'front.'
door. The call appeared to be SO
urgent that Mr.. Brown thrust his
head out of the window and demand
ed in no very gentle tone. 'sWhat
in blazes is the matter?' Standing
shivering in his only garment Mr..
Brown held the following colloquy
with the intruder:
''Does Mr.. Brown live here?"

eyes, yes; certainly. What of it?''
swell, Mr.. Josiah F. Brown, have
called to inquire ifyou intend to
paint that fence or will you white
wash it?''
The answer and the window went
down together and Mr. Brown retired
to bed fully satisfied there could be
no escape, from Yankee inquisitive-
ness.

limit their effects by fixing our eyes on the pub

to home production. to work. to wages and to

these. The necessary reduction in our public
revenues can, / am sure, be made without MAX

the disabilities and limitations which
the process of reduction puts upon both capital

offer injurious competition to such domestic
products as our home labor can supply. The

Not the Proper Remedy.

When Mr.. Blaine stated in a cam.
paign speech that England was "plas.
tered all over with trusts" his state.
ment was ridiculed by all the free
trade journals in the country. 1t is a
little amusing now to note that the
same papers, which but few months
ago would hardly admit that such q
thing as trust was in existence out.
side the United States, are now copy.
ing compilation Of statistics from an
Austrian journal, which goes far
toward substantiating the ante election
utterance of the present Secretary of
State.
According to this Austrian stats.
tician Germany leads in the number,
extent and influence of its trade com.
binations; the United States comes
hext, with England a close competitor.
Trusts are found to exist in every Eu-
ropean country and in Japan and 9th.
er parts of Asia. Several are named
that are international in their scope,
and others are rapidly growing abroad.
The argument that our protective
tariff is responsible for the existence
of such organizations loses all its
force in the face of such an array of
facts and figures as are contained in
the compilation mentioned, for it is
seen that trusts flourish in free trade
and low tariff countries as we'll as un.
der governments devoted to the pro.
tective system. 1t looks as if those
who are seeking to rid this country Of

profess to believe that a removal OF

THE list of sick in Washington as
result of the exposure of Inauguration
day is increasing, Sergeant-at-Arms
Canaday, of the Senate, being among
the latest additions. When the at.
tempt was made several years ago to
change Inauguration day to April
Goth. the proposition seemed to be so
reasonable that much surprise was ex.
pressed at its rejection. The weather
is usually very bad along about the
4th of March, fine day for the cere.
mony being rare exception; and it
seemed as if the proposed change
should have been made without hesita.
tion. That there is a necessity for a
change the experience of many OF
those who participated in the late in.
augural ceremonies proves, and no
time should be lost in changing the
day to time of year more favorable
for such popular demonstrations.
