MOVING TIME

Occurs but once year in most families. With us, every day is moving time. Car pet moving time, we mean. Ask the drivers, who move loads and loads of 'em. Ask the weavers, who are always being bothered with duplicate orders from us. And yet, the more Carpets are moved, the better we like it. We couldn't live, if we did small, old fogy business. Got to move large lots, nowadays. Right here, we want you to notice a few pieces of Body Brussels ; one pattern only and rather homely, at that. Regular price, S1 25; will let them go for 75c. Want the room. Our Heather Chinee eorres- pondents have spread themselves on mat tings, this season. They give us lots of gags about straw being scarce,b but, some how, we manage to sell them for the old price.

A little Boy once owned Dog, and his
name ,the name of the Dog was Rover.
The little Boy was an Irishman and his
name was Dennis. The Dog was New
foundland, by accident; but his parents
were Scotch people. One of them was
Scotch Skye, and the other belonged to the
ancient and honorable family of Terriers.
The ancestors of the Boy had once been
Kings, but that was a long time ago. The
little Boy went swimming in the Mississippi
river, opposite Dulany's Mills. The water
was very Deep in some places, and the little
Boy found one Of those Places. Before he
knew it he was Drowned. But the Scotch
instinct of the Dog who lived on oat Meal
was equal to the occasion. He knew that
q little Boy ought not to stay under the
water more than half Day. Therefore he
dove. The Dog dove. He was successful.
ALI Dogs of the Terrier family from Scot
land are successful.
He found Dennis, and he could tell, even
under the water, that the name of the Boy
was surely Dennis. Some noses of Dogs
are very good at telling when they find
Dennis. Well, it happened that Rover
caught Dennis by the biggest part of his
panties and swan to the Shore with him.
When he got there he Shook himself. All
Dogs of the Scotch family shake themselves
when they get out of the Water. Rover
shook himself and then he ran home and
told his Mamma Oennls) all about it. She
took flask of Whisky, and when she got
to the Shore she poured some of it (the
Whisky into the mouth Of the Boy whose
name was Dennis. He drank it, and she
rubbed him, and he got well very quick 1t
is no wonder that Dennis likes Rover, for
he would never have had the W Risky but for
faithful Rover.

THE PARTY UNITED.

Fidelity OF the Democracy Everywhere to
Its Political Faith.
The Democr ats in all the States
stand together in this of year and as
sert their fidelity to their political
faith.
The party. being Democratic, be-
lieves that all legislation should be
for the good of all the people. and it
opposes as undemocratic and unjust
all taxation intended TO lay burdens
upon the masses for the benefit of a
monopolistic class. It believes in tar
iff reform as a measur of simple JUS
tice and pressing necessity. and a year
ago it said so with emphasis in its
National platform.
Having conscience as well as
conviction, the party stands by that
declaration of truth in spite of the
fears of the timid and the counsels of
the corrupt.
In New York, New Jersey. Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Maryland, Massachusetts,,
Iowa. in short in every State in which
q Democratic Convention has been
held this year. the platform mas reaf-
firmed the utterance of the National
Convention on this subject
There is no .'crawfshing." no cow
ardice. no turning backward. The
party is not '.getting together" it is
keeping together In defense of princi-
pie and of the right of the people as
against the pfetentions Of monopolists.

SOME TARIFF FACTS.


Senator A1lison's Protestations and Sen.
ator Aliison's Senate Bill.
Mr.. Allison tells Us that the rich
pay the duties on woo.en goods be-
cause only the most costly goods ere
imported. That the Iowa Senator
means to make this statement true.
though it is not quite true now, will
appear from comparison OF some OF
the rates under the present law with
those proposed by the Allison Senate
bill last year. The ad yalorem
equivalents of the present and pro-
posed duties are from an official COM
putatidh based on the importations OF
the fiscal year 1887.

It will be seen that the Allison bill
in every instance increases the rate on
the cheaper goods far more THAI on
the dearest It is plain that Mr.. AL
lison does not mean to have the masses
of the people. whose incomes are
small, pay anything into the Treasury
on wooden goods. But he means to hay e
them pay much more than they now do
to the .'infant'' wooden mills The
house bill provided for a uniform rate
of 40 per cent on all these goods.
This is eight times as high as the duty
under the first tariff, 1889; but just
contrast it for moment with Mr.. Al
lison's 258. 33 per cent on cheap knit
goods! And yet the woo en-mill in
dustry is just century older than it
was when the first tariff was enacted.
Such is Mr.. Allison's poor mans

A Saleswoman Tells How Women u
Wealth Make Their Purchases.
U5se jouissa,sce e1Quise pour an cesur
dc femme, is the way in which N. Guy
de Maupassant. the latest delineator
of French high life. defines the noble
art of shopping. and the truth of his
words is borne out on this side of the
water by the eagerness with which all
our fashionable danes enter into this
fascinating occupation. Notwith-
standing the fact that large portion
of the costly chifons which cover the
forms of New York's grandes DANES
are supplied by special dealers in a
semi-private manner. few of even our
wealthiest women can deny themselves
the pleasure of visiting the large stores
and personally inspecting and finger
ing the dainty materials that are to
glorify crown or sole or intermediate
parts of their delicate bodies. A
chatty saleswoman in 6ne of our large
millinery bazars. to whom the whole
fashionable world is as familiar as
though she dined and lunched Mt the
most recherche houses, thus discourses
upon what. from saleswoman's
standpoint. might be termed the good
and bad points of certain well known
leaders of fashion.
Il used to love to wait upon Mrs.
Hammersley. now Duchess of Marl-
borough" gushed this garrulous sales
woman. because she never asked the
price. of any thing and was always so
very pleasant and nice. She never
no onndc. o1
every thing, took what she wanted
and left the store without making
any more fuss than if she had been the
average feminine shopper with linn
tied purse. She was always accom-
panied by her maid. who took charge
of the bundles. Mrs Aston, however,
is very different sort of shopper.
She always inquiries closely into the
prices before making a purchase, and
she shows very discriminating
knowledge of values and lets it be
plainly understood that she does not
intend paying any premium on the
Aston millions.
Another lady with well-developed
business instincts is Mrs. Paran
Stevens. Owing to slight infirmity
of temper. this well-knOwn society
leader has to be handled. so to speak,
with gloves. One is never quite GER
tain what Mrs. Stevens is going to say
or do, and as it would be worth my
position for me to offend her, always
draw a breath of relief when she has
been served and has taken her depart
ure. Mrs. Potter we used to see more
frequently before she went on the
stage than now. She was always af-
fable and easy to wait upon, knowing
what she wanted and taking it without
unnecessarysparley The Wander
bilts never patronize us. but outside that
one family there are few New York
women of fashion whom l have not
waited upon. and with few exceptions.
/ have found them courteous and ami
able and apparently finding as much
enjoyment in this favorite feminine oc-
cupation as their less exalted sisters.

THE RECENT VICTORIES.

Connecticut Revolution Duo to the
Australian Ballot System.
The revolution in Norwich, the Re-
publican stronghold in Connecticut.
is triumph of the Australian ballot
over bulldozing. For twenty years
the Republican factory lords of Nor
witch have kept it Republican by the
suppression of the Democratic major
ity. Nowhere in the Union has there
been as much Intimidation practiced as
in these New England factory towns Of
which Norwich is typical. The fac
tory foreman and the spies of the
factory owners. following the opera
tives to the polls, have forced them to
vote the Republican ticket under pen
atty of discharge.
Under this system Norwich gained
reputation through New England as
1.-The citadel of Connecticut Republic
anism." It had not given Demo-
cratic majority since the war until the
other Monday, when, with the secret
ballot in use for the first time, the
pressure was removed from the sup
pressed majority AID it asserted itself.
The overseers and spies were kept
away from the polls. The voters were
securely guarded from espionage in
close polling booths. and when the
vote was counted it was found that
class despotism had been overthrown
and an end put to the long reign of
Republican intimidation.
Similar results followed the intro
duction OF the Australian system in
other towns. In Waterbury the Dem
ocrats ''made clean sweep" and in
the light of such results there is no
reason to doubt that with free bal
lot. Connecticut will be as safely Dem
ocratic as New Jersey is.
The usefulness of the Australian
ballot has been demonstrated in Mon
tana as we'll as in Connecticut. Though
the vote subject to undue control is
much smaller proportionately in the
former State, there is reason to be-
lieve that the Montana Democrats
owe the election of their Governor and
of a Democratic Legislature to the
secret ballot, which operates as a
check on bribery as well as on intimi-
dAtiOn. The strength OF the Demo-
cratic party lies in a s'free ballot and
fair count" in the education of the
voter and in his protection in the ex-
ercise of the franchise. That the Aus
tralian ballot goes a long way to-
wards insuring free and honest gov
eminent there is no room to doubt
after the result in Norwich. - St

The Turks Love of Children.

The Turkish people all told have
many soft spots in their nature. They
are fond of flowers, and they delight
in presents of roses. They like story
telling. and they can appreciate a
Joke with a moral attachment The
whole nation is fond of children. The
Turkish boy loves his mother as much
as does the American. and it is not
able fact that woman accompanied
by a child may go through a Turkish
mob and not be molested. In some of
the most critical times of Constantine
pie missionary ladies in passing from
one part of the city to another tell me
they took children with them, know
ing that this would insure protection.

FoRAKER's LATEST LIE.

The Arrans FAlsehood with which He
Tired to Deceive the Farmers
We quote from q report In the Com

ernOr Foraker:
? he then, with many homely ana apt nlustra-
tons, demonstrated thnt the protective tariff
increased the purchasing power OF the farmer
had caused him to get more for his produc-
tfons-whtle nearly every manufactured article
that he purchased - now much cheaper than
uncer free trade.
What an utterly irreclaimable
demagogue this man Foraker is!
Many manufactured articles are now
cheaper than they were when the
high tariff policy was adopted. OF
course they are Every body knows
this. And. every intelligent man
knows. too. that the protective tariff
has had no more to do with cheapen-
ing them than the gulf stream has
had. The proof of this is at our
hands 1t amounts to demonstra-
ton. It consists in the fact that there
is not a single article in the whole
range of commodities-not one
whether it is .sprotected'' or not.
which has fallen In price In this coun-
GTY un00E PEOtCCO1Ous uut0SS tucT6 LIDS
been an equal or greater decline in
the price of the same article in En-
gland under ''free trade" Governor
Foraker knows this fact Every man
of average Intelligence knows it
Knowing this fact, Governor Foraker
simply exhibits himself as q lying
demagogue when he tells the people
that protection has cheapened the
prices of manufactured commodities.
He also knows. as everybody else
knows who can read. that the farmer
gets very much less for his products
than he did in ''free trade times. :"
The following table shows % the
average prices of the leading farm
products in the New York market in
