WE sHOULD PRAY sENsIBLY :.

How little we use common sense in
PRAYER! We say: 'Oh, Lord, give me
this and f'Oh, Lord, give me that -
and Ion, Lord, give me something
else; and we do not expect to get it
or, getting it, we do not know we have
it. We have no anxiety about it. We
do not watch and wait for its coming.
As a merchant you telegraph or you
write to some other city for bill OF
goods. You say: ''Send me by such
express or by such a steamer of by such
a rail train The day arrives. You
send your wagon TO the depot or to the
wharf. The goods do not come. You
Immediately telegraph: "What is the
matter with those goods? We haven Il
received them, Send them right away
We want them now, or we don t want
them at all And you keep writing
and you keep telegraphing, aud keep
sending you wagon to the depot, or to
the express office, or to the wharf until
you get the goods.
IN matters OF religion we are not so
wise as that. We ask certain things to
be sent from heaven. We do not know
whether they come or not. We have not
any special anxiety as to whether they
come or not We may get them and may
not get them. Instead OF at ! o clock in
the morning saying: ~ Have l got that
blessing?" at u o. clock, MONDAY, ask
ing: Have I got that blessing?" at
O'Clock in the evening saying: "HaYe
l received that blessing?' ana not get

begging-asking asking, until you get

mon sense? If We ask thing OF God,
who has sworn by his eternal throne TO
do that which We ask, is it not Common

A woman's Discovery.

"Another wonderful discovery has been
made and that too by lady in this county.
Disease fastened its clutches upon her and
for seven years she withstood its severest
tests, but her vital organs were undermined
and death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed necessarily and could
not sleep. She bought of us bottle of Dr.

was so much relieved on taking first dose

Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus write w. @. Ham

The Detroit journal (demo-independ-

a most dismal howl over the refusal of
the president TO reappoint Postmaster
Pearson, of the New York city post
office-claiming that it is a severer blow
to civil service reform than any that
Cleveland's administration dealt it. 1t
is too bad that the democracy are to be
deprived of so powerful an auxiliary in
1892 as the New York postoflice-too
bad; but we trust the Journdl will sur
vive the shock of the disappointment

REDUCTION OF WAGES.
One of the Results of the Recent "High
Protection victory"

One of the Results of the Recent "High
Protection victory"
A special dispatch from Troy, N. T.,
ssyss ''The knitting-mill owners OF
the Mohawk Valley and Cohoes have
announced q reduction of fifteen per
cent. in wages, beginning January L.
Tiers is very little doubt that other
mill men and factory men, following
the example OF the knit goods manu-.
facturers, will cut wages. :
The closing down OF q mill or the
reduction of wages previous to No
vember 6 was ascribed to 'tarlff
tinkering," and the Democratic party
was unjustly assailed in that regard
by every monopolistic newspaper IN
the country. 4
Now the same journals are as mute
as so many mice when the wages OF
working-men are reduced and indus
trial establishments "shut down for
an indefinite period" They told
the people that the election of
General Harrison meant PRO.
lection to American labor" but
how a working-man is protected by,
having his wages cut down or by be-
ing entirely deprived of employment
is difficult to understand. It is cheer
ing to know, however, that the intel
ligent wage-worker was not misled to
any great extent by the misrepre-.
sentations of the campaign liar.
Those who were deceived doubtless
know by this time that vote against
honest tariff reform was vote for
that sort of protection which cripples
industries, fosters monopolies and
wrings unnecessary taxes from the
pockets of the toilers into the bar
gain.
The working-men will also be able
to see more clearly that the Jarretts
and Litchmans who strove to preju-
dice them against the Democratic
party, and went among them to
preach the devils gospel of PRO
tection,' were not only false prophets
but missionaries of evil. Their oc-
cupation's gone, SO far as intelligent
working-men are concerned. - Har-
