was, in fact, a part of the scheme for es-
tablishing form of imperialism which
finds an appropriate elimination in this
force bill. Mr.. PowDERLY very justly
denominates it bill to enable congress
to perpetuate itself as the supreme gov
erning power of the nation. The n.y.
pocriSy of the measure and of its adv0-
Gates is very forcibly pointed out by
Mr.. PowDERLY. While its ostensible
object is to purify elections in Southern
states, its real object is to place in the
ton machinery which will enable them
tokeep the masses in perpetual subjec-
ton. When this bill is passed, the
Rubicon will have been crossed, and
America will be free no more. 1t is the
most outrageous assault upon constItu-
tionai freedom that has ever been at
tempted in this country.
Mr.. PowDERLY is none the less judi
cious when he urges upon workingmen
to vote against every member of con-
gress who is on the record as having
favored the LODGE bill. He regards the
supporters of that measure as band OF
conspirators who are aiming to over
throw popular government, and he sizes
them up correctly. No patriot could
lend his support to such measure. 1t
is hostile to both the spirit and the let
terof the constitution, and is subversive
of republican institutions. The passage
of such bill by the British parliament
for the government of the English peo-
pie would produce revolution in that
country that would drive the ministry
from power in disgrace, if it did not
cost England's ruler her crown. And
yet the American people sit by in
apathy while congress is forging chains
for the ma sses of the voters.
We are proud Of Mr.. PowDERLY for
the spirit of independence and the high
order of patriotism that he has displayed
ON this occasion. We commend his
wise words of advice and warning to all
who cherish personal liberty and the
freedom of the ballot.

farmer, of course, that he shall do all
his purchasing nght III the easily Access
si5le and robust priced home mar ket.
OF course, the foreign market prices on
wheat are not particularly nigh, but
money is not so much of an object to
the independent American farmer, any
way.
England has been indulging some
talk of retaliatory protection against US.
because we make such strenuous efforts
to shut out her products, even though
we might possibly find some use for
them; but all of England's threats of
retaliation emanate from her jealousy of
the success of the American farmer.
The wages of the working classes Of
England have raised; the condition of
the farmers and other producers has
improved under free trade, but they are
denied all the blessings mentioned,
which the protective system bestowS
upon the agrieulturistS of America.
There is but one thing more which
ask for at the hands of the Re-
publican party, and that is for
more of this same glorious protection.
1t has shown itself to be of such meal
culable assistance to the farmer that he
certainly ought to have more Of it.
Think where he might be to-day were
it not for this great boon of protection.
Now that the avenues to wealth have
been so decreased in numbers and so
narrowed, there remain none open to
the farmer so promising as this idea of
taxing him roundly. Tax him in every
possible way. Do not bother him too
much with realty taxes, and the per-
sonal taxes, and the little ordinary
forms of taxation, but stick it onto his
clothes and hats and boots and dress
goods and carpets, and, in fact, into
everything that he eats and uses, and
allow him to become in this way,
quietly, very rich and not know it.

LADIES PARTLY TO BLAME.

There are good many men, perhaps
generally those who are not absolutely
independent of cOnstraining appe-
tite, who are eager to improve oppor
tunities to share in any measure the re-
sponsib1lities for the drink evils with
the ladies. The devoted women who
operate organizations and provide
coffee and doughnuts for voters are
especial objects of their benevolent
solicitude. Every woman past the SEN
timental period of youth, and with
much experience in the management of
men. will readily concede that the way
to capture and hold them is through
the stomach. This has to be admitted
by the men who use the retort in view.
The women educate the stomachs of
men by their culinary arts; and if they
make them long for stimulants, and
alienation from demoraliZing re-
suits of bad cooking, they are pri-
marily responsible for the excuses that
manner that wins applause from the
men in question in an address before
the Chautauqua by Mrs. EMMA r.
EWING, who is one of the accepted art
lists in the science of cooking. This is
her statement: ga deranged stomach
longs for stimulants. Of the $4,000
drunkards who die IN the United States
every year a large proportion have the
appetite for intoxicating drinks aggra-
waited, if not implanted, by the food
which constitutes their daily diet.
GreaSe-soaked meat, watery vegetables,
sloppy coffee and bad bread in many
cases compel a resort to stimulants.
With such conditions. why should any
body be surprised at the drink habit?
Poor coffee produces unnatural thirst
for lager beer, and there is a terrible
affinity between sour bread and sour
mash whisky. A healthy stomach has
! no abnormal cravings for either liquor,
cigars, candy or chewing gum. Bad
cookery is foe to everything that ele-
Yates and ennobleS, and friend to
everything that debases; whereas good
cookery and Christianity aid and sup
plement each other. Good cookery is
indispensable to the highest type of
Christian life, and everywhere makes
for righteousness. You may have a
school house on every hill top, church
in every valley and summer assembly
in every county of every state OF the
Union, but you can't elevate the stand
ard of Christianity to its topmOst level
until you elevate the character of your
| cookery"
Every evangelist knows that no con-
vert can be made with an empty stom-
ach. Nor can the dyspeptic be of the
Christ type. Only the boorish will say
to the ladies, "Look to your cooking;"
but they can point to the weakness of
the flesh and the object lesson afforded
to the ladies. They know where Chris
tianity and sobriety must entrench
themselves in the understanding.

MORE ELECTRICAL STORMS.

1t is pretty we'll conceded that cleo
trical storms are becoming more fire.
quent than they used to be. 1t is not
insisted that rain and wind storms fur
nish any special change. No cause is
assigned for the increase in number
and violence of the storms that make
electricity their great agency of disaster.
1t has not been the impression that the
remarkable evolution and diffusion of
electricity in the appliances of locomo-
ton and in the heat of industrial arts
would explain the increase, but there is
no more convenient way to account for
them. This theory is not cheerful
one in view Of the indefinite multiplied
ton of electrical forces. Yet the loss of
life by storms is not specially alarming.
In recent paper Ii. A. HAsEN finds
that in fifty-seven of the most destruct-
tive storms in the past eighteen years
but $50 lives were lost, not including
the recent storms in this state. Almost
any other prominent peril to life can
show a larger death roll, and as great a
loss of property.

toxicants. That German medical scien-
fist who has been making careful tests
of the effects of coffee is probably an
old crank, but his kind of cranks are
proving things in an uncomfortable
way. This DR.. MENDEL, of Berlin, has
had an exceptional field for his inquiries,
as the coffee inebriates are common in
Germany, many using pound OF cot
fee head per week. His conclusion,
after an extended investigation, is that
the excessive use of coffee is DIS bad as
the excessive use of alcohol. If used
long enough it will induce all the
symptoms of dellrium tremens, and
shatter the nerves in similar way.
He classes the coffee drunkard with the
victims of intemperance. and puts tea
but little lower down on the list.
These stimulants afford the ladies an
excellent chance for doing temperance
work. by setting examples of total ab-
stinence from these ruinous stimulants,
coffee and tea.

Chicago News.
A fad in writing paper is what is
called lovers stationery. 1t is fine
note paper, delicately tinted, the most
fashionable shade being light pink. The
water mark, to be detected by holding
the sheet up to the light, is blending
of two hearts. pierced by an arrow. In
the lower corner of each fourth page
(or reverse of each second half-sheet)
appears what at first sight looks like
blemish. But this is the charming
feature of the novelty. It's the kissing
spot, for here the correspondent places
his or her lips. and thus salute is
waited to the absent lover. The kissing
spot is about the size of shilling (25-
cent piece) and is covered with thin
aromatic gum that imparts to the lips
pleasing odor and taste. A more in
geniOus bit of maudlin sentimentality
could hardly be devised, yet we must
all confess that it is of just such limo
cent and inane follies that the joy of
human life largely consists.

TARIFF TAX TABLETS.

Senator Frye did not contradict Mr..
Blaine when he said, ''You and know

charge that the benefits of the protect

is where Senator Frye might have con-
tradicted him and done it successfully.
The benefits of the protective system
do go chiefly to the manufacturers and
capitalists. Incidentally the farmer
and the workingmen reap some benefit.
but it is incidental and trivial, being
far overweighed by the burdens and
vexations that protection puts upon
them. The benefits that protection
gives the manufacturer are real and
substantia al, none the less so because all
other classes have to pay the tax which
is laid for his benefit and comes into his

The Pittsburg Dispatch saws:

=
In his speech OIL the tariff bill Sena-
tor voorhees, gave particular attention
to tin plates and the proposed increase
of duty thereon, and to the reason as
signed therefor by the committee on
finance. Tie reason was extremely
brief, being in these words:
''The duty on tin plates is increased
from one cent per pound to two and
two-tenths cents per pound after July
l, 1891, in order to establish and protect
domestic industry"
That was all. Mr.. Voorhees, showed
very conclusively that the tin plate in
dustrv could not possibly be established
in this country OH scale to supply the
domestic demand in less than ten years.
This, at the rate proposed by the bill,
would mean taxation to the enormous
amount of S16O, 100000 in the way of
tariff bounties. The highest estimate
of the number of men, women and
children to be engaged in the tin plate
industry is $4,000. England. to supply
the world, only has 10000 in the trade.
Ii we allow these $4,000 men, women
and children, to be hereafter employed,
wages at the rate of $500 year, which
was the average of the iron and steel
industries for the census year, the pros
pectlve tax on the people In the ten
wears necessary to establish the indus
try would pay the actual wage account
of the "a, 200 employees for sixteen years.
That is paying pretty dear for the Whls-
tie.
