TALKS ON THE TARIFF.

New York Press.
This is the way Republicans in Iowa
talk about the duty of giving American
workingmen the home market for labor,
which is the opportunities of employ
ment furnished by producing what
Americans consume. The words are
those of the Mitchellville Inder:
Suppose that one boundary of our
NATHAN is separated from another nation
by river simply, or, it may be, only
an imaginary line. Now, suppose fur
ther that ON one side of that line salt
can be produced in unlimited quantity.
Suppose further that our nation is a
great nation, furnishing great market
for salt, but are capable of supplying it
fully and as cheaply as any other re-
gion. Let us suppose that the salt sup
ply across the line is in poor, undevel7,
Oped country, which country would af-
ford but little market for our salt if we
enjoy free trade between the two coun-
tries, would it be sensible for us to give
them part of our great market for the
poor market we would get in return?
Why should we give them any of our
market when we can supply our de-
mand, and do it all by employment of
American labor?
The free trader says: "Ifwe can make
salt as cheaply as any part of the world
we need no protection" Why not?
Would not salt that can be laid down
on our borders at no expense for trans
pOrtatiOn come in and get its share of
the market? If this were SO would not
just that much American salt be need
ed, and if so would not this diminish
the demand for just SO much American
labor and transfer it elsewhere? Why
should we so interest ourselves in trans
ferring American labor to other nations?
Do other nations look after our inter
eStS?
A free trader will say that 1.-The amount
of tariff is added to the price of salt"
This has been proved erroneous hun
dred thousand times. Salt short time
since was laid down in Milwaukee and
Chicago for 50 cents per barrel. The
tariff on barrel of salt of 800 pounds is
36 cents; the barrel is worth 25 cents,
which makes 81 cents. Now deduct the |
selling price-53 cents-from this and
you observe the manufacturer would be
obliged to present every man who asked t
it barrel or salt and 8 cents in addisf
ton for taking it if the free trade theo-
ry is true"

FORECASTS FOR OCTOBER.
WEATHER CALCULATIONS OF THE REV
HICKS, OF ST. LOUIS.

WEATHER CALCULATIONS OF THE REV
HICKS, OF ST. LOUIS.
From Word and Works.
The secondary storm movements men
toned at the close of our September
forecasts will run their course by the 1st
or I'd of October-will be attended by
rain in SOutherly regions, turning most
likely to sleet and snow in the North,
followed by cold.
The first storm period proper for Oc-
tober is central on the 5th, with the
planet Mercury central at point on the
4th. This combination, especially dur
ing this Jovian time of general meteor
illogical violence, will in every probabil-
ity produce storms which will call for
watchfulness and care. Northwesterly
storms are apt to be severe, covering the
lake regions, and endanger navigation
from about the Sd to the Sth. Many
parts of the country will likely be visited
by heavy sleet during the storms of this
period. About the first genuine polar
wave is likely to appear at or about this
time, and to encounter retiring equator
ial storms toward the Atlantic coasts.
Some cold days will follow, until the
temperature reacts for minor storms
about the 11th or 18th.
The appalling fulfillment of our cal
culations for the period in which we
write this forecast, September 10 to Is,
together with the record going before it,
confirm us in the belief that to greater
or less extent October disturbances will
partake of the character of those of pre-
ceding months, calling for promptness
and care in gathering and storing the
products of the season, and causing in
land navigation to be prematurely pre-
carious. We deprecate any radical de-
parture from usual methods but insist
upon vigilance and ready common
sense holding of the reins. We calcu
late that the period running from about
the 10th to Goth is one in which such
care should be exercised. The 10th,
18th, 18th and 10Th are days in which
general autumnal disturbances ought to
pass Eastward across the continent. The
high barometer following these distur-
Dances will give place to reactionary
storms of energy about the 23rd and
24th. a prompt and sharp reaction into
frosty, cold days will follow.
From about the 9th to November is
a regular and marked storm period. Be
ready for such vicissitudes as follow such
storms at such a season, and for the cold
following the storms into November.
Have care for your fuel, and your help
less, dependent stock.

TIE only danger that threatens the

THE only danger that threatens the
Republicans of Ohio to-day, says the
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette, is the
utter unscrupulousness of the Doodle
gang. They are pouring money into
the canvass and will stop at nothing to
achieve a victory. Back of the gang
stands the great coal-oil monopoly. The
prize at stake is one for which they are
willing to risk literally. The election
of Democratic Governor and Legisla-
ture would not only ''vindicate" Henry
B. Payne, but it would send Calvin S.
Brice to the United States Senate. 1t is
not at all strange, under these circum-
stances, that the Democratic National
Committee should open "bar'l" in sup
port of the Doodle candidate for Govern
or and those in alliance with him. But
money will not win in this campaign
Republicans have nothing under the sun
to draw them away from their allegi-
ance, while thousands of self-respecting
Democrats are disgusted with the gang
and their iniquitous methods.

THE AUTUMN WOODS.

When the frost goes moving among the grasses,
And the wind is reaping the fallen leaves,
The sun drives out of the grim old forest
The shadows of the autumn ewes;
1t winds its arms round the oaks and naples,
COaXeS out the buds of the coming May;
Like a child come back tO a fathers dwelling,
1t dances along each wOonland way.
On this gray, old carpet, with Skillful finger,
Some warm, gold patterns it lays and weayes;
The lite brown birds still chirp and linger,
And break the crySalis of next years leaves.
Pick of the buds, o hrOwn-winged singers!
We can spare some leaves from our summer
store.
But summer would never again be summer
If the little brown birds should come no more.
Charles VI. Dickinson.

REPORTS of the state of trade cOntin-
ue to be encouraging. The cotton mills
of New England are going into full Op-
Grafton, while many of them are enlarg-
ing their capacity. The iron mills are
booming, the shoe factories are busy,
the paper mills and glass factories are
running on full time, and business in
general is reported better than for five
years past. These are encouraging
signs. There is no tariff smashing
programme in sight this year to discour-
age tradesmen and manufacturers.

AUTUMN DREAMS.

When the maple turns to crimson,
And the sasSafraS to gold;
When the gentian 5 in the meadow
And the aster on the void;
When the moon is Tapped in vapOr,
And the night is frosty cold;
When the chestnut burrs are opened,
And the aeOrnS drop like hail,
And the drOSy air is startled
With the humping of the fail
With the drumming Of the partridge,
And the whistle of the quail;
Through the rustling woods l wander
Through the jewels OF the year,
From the yellow uplandS calling,
Seeking her who still is dear;
She is near me in the autumn,
She, the beautiful, is near
Through the smoke of burning summer,
When the weary wings are still,
l can see her in the valley,
can hear her on the hill,
In the splendOr of the woodlands,
In the whisper of the rill.
For the shores Of earth and heaven
Meet, and mingle in the blue;
She can wander down the glory
To the places that she knew,
Where the happy lovers wandered
In the days when life was true.
So think when days are sweetest,
And the world is wholly fair,
She may sometimes steal upon me,
Throgh the dimness of the air,
With the cross upon her bosom,
And the amaTanth in her hair.
Once to her, ahl to meet her,
And to hold her gently fast,
Till blessed her, till she blessed me
That were happiness at last,
That were bliss beyond our meetings
In the autumn of the past.

BOBBIE HAMMOND'S WOLF.

From Pansy.
"It's is pretty hard verse for a LITTLE
boy like BObbie," Mrs. Harmon said a.
she looked thoughtfully at the care
which had the verse printed on it.
But Bobbie had keen ears and gooC
memory, and was soon repeating the
hard verse glibly enough: "Bewart
of false prophets. which come to you il
sleeps clothing, but inwardly they are
ravening wolves"
Mr.. Harmon laughed when he heard
the verse.
"What can a fOur-year-old do with
such grOWn-up words as these?' he ask
ed. And the mother said she did not
know; perhaps they would be useful tC
him in some ways that "grown-up" peo-
pie did not understand.
There isn't any wolves in this city, y
said Bobbie emphatically, having as lit
tie regard for grammar as he had for
logic.
"Oh, yes, there are," said mamma, as
she took him in her lap and explained
the meaning of the words as well as she
could.
Bobbie was restless, and hummed a
tune softly, once while she was talking,
because he "forgOt;" and once he inter
rupted her to ask whether wolves, when
they dressed up like sheep, said "Baar'
And, on the whole, Mrs. Harmon was
disposed to think that Bobble would get
very little help from his verse.
1t was o'clock in the afternoon of
that day when little Bobbie sheltered
himself from the wind in the corner of
his fathers yard, and leaning against the
great stone wall, listened to John Walk
er while he coaxed:
ats just little way-not more than
two blocks from here, and l shouldn't
think your mother would be afraid to
have big boy like you go down there
specially with me; and it's great
deal warmer there, because it's on the
sunny side of the street. l don't be-
lieve but what if your mother was here
she would want you to go, so as to get
you out of this ugly east wind"
Bobbie put the tips of his fingers to-
gether in way that he had when he
was thOughtfully interested in anything
and looked curiously at John Walker.
At last he said: "YOu're wolf, John
ME Walker. You don't know it, but as
true as you live you're a wolf. l told
mamma did not b'lieve I'd see one,
and she said p'rhaps L would; and L
have"
"Don't you go to calling me no names" +"
said John Walker, his face growing quite
red, "because I'm three years older than
you, and won't stand it."
"But can't help it. Jesus said, BE
ware of 'em;' that means, you take care
that you do thing they say, because
they are only making b'lieve be good.
You are making b'lieve mamma wants
me to go down to Court street, when she
told me not to go. I'm going in now"

In all diseases. of the nasal mucous

irritating. The medical profession has
been slow to learn this. Nothing salts

are all irritating, do not thoroughly reach
