The Quick Perception of an Expert.


~. A few evenings ago l sat at leisure
IN the Office of an uptown hotel, when
trim couple entered. The man, tall
and handsome, with shiny silk hat,
approached the counter aud registered
as Mr.. and Mrs. -, Cleveland, Ohio.
The pair were assigned the best room

diamond pin, and retired for the even

peeted that the pair were not exactly
regular, and as he had some expert
ence before, concluded to watch. At
breakfast next morning he took seat
at the table opposite the stranger and
his lady" He, all politeness. passed

was q revelation to the proprietor, who
hastily finished his meal and repaired
to the Office. AS the stranger came
from the dining-room the proprietor
called him to the desk, saving: See
here, my friend, you are mistaken in
the house YOU are in.
What do you mean?' said the fly
young man.
why, that is not your wife," said
the diamond pin.
How do you know that ?" said the
astonished man.
IF she had been your wife you
would have known she did not take
sugar in coffee"
This unexpected sally brought the
blood to the mans face, but his cheek
did not desert him. He attempted to
play off that she was his bride, but it
was no go. Within five minutes they
took their departure.-Melc York Ner-

FARM. GARDEN AND
HOUSEHOLD.
THE FARMER AND THE TARIFF.
Figures Showing How He Ia benefited by
Protection.

Figures Showing How He L. benefited by
Protection.
Robert p. Porter says in The National
Tribune: The American farmer Is just
now passing through the gloomy valley
Of hard times. Prices for his products
are low; mortgages, even if made for
purchase money or improvement in more
hopeful times, are pressing, and it is dif-
flcult to make both ends meet
All this is bad enough, but it is made
worse by the constant opportunity it at
fords agitators and demagogues to exag-
gerate the farmers grievances and inten-
sify his tale Of woe. Ever ready to mag
Nifty depressions, the joyous band of Free
traders who have been picturing this
glorious country Of ours spinning into
the abyss of ruin and destruction for the
last twenty years are out with their tele-
scopes eagerly watching for an enlarge
meDt of the black spot. OF course the
agricultural depression Is all due to the
tariff, and the only remedy is the imme-
date repeal Of certain customs duties.
The farmer is told by these reckless
purveyors of British economics that the
tariff Is framed for the benefit Of few
iron, wooden, cotton, silk and chemical
barons, and not in the interest of the
American farmer. They never tell the
farmer that the direct benefits he receives
from the present tariff are far in excess
Of the benefits received by any other
class. They do not tell him that last year
the agricultural products imported on
which duty was levied aggregated In
value over $3.50, 900, 900. And yet this Is
a fact. They do not tell him that our to-
tai agricultural imports amounted to
nearly $3.50, 000,0
How many farmers know that the az
gregate importation Of fruit, hides, eggs
and vegetables is about equivalent In
value to the importation Of manufact-
ures Of iron and steel? How many know
that the aggregate importation Of raw
fax and hemp, breadstuffs, eggs, vegeta-
bles and woods, all products of the farm,
is about the same in value as the importa-
ton Of manufactures of wool, or nearly
$53, 900, 0002 Changing the combination
and adding hops and hay to fruit, fax.
etc., and we have an aggregate far ex-
ceeding the imports Of chemicals, while
the Importation Of the last two items
would equal in value the annual i'm
portation of manufactures Of silk.
Is the American farmer ready to calm
ly listen to attacks on the greedy rob-
Der barons who manufacture glass and
glassware when the imports Of his own
protected breadstuffs barely exceed an
nually the importation Of glass; when the
imports Of seeds, not medicinal, are
about the same as the imports Of earthen-
ware?
No! Unless am very much mistaken
the American farmer has altogether too
much hay out himself not to be clever TO
his neighbor, the manufacturer, in the
matter Of exchanging courtesies. Here
Is about how the account stands:
The Somerset reporter., 1890-07-17

With such an array Of important prod
ucts protected, to say nothing Of wool. Of
hops, Of hay, of eggs. Of vegetables, Of
seeds, and Of a score Of minor products,
Is it likely the American farmer will give
up the Tariff because the Free-trade
shouters are loudly proclaiming against
the iron and wooden baronsf The farmer
reads and listens and looks the situation
over carefully, and then begins to figure
out how much Of the product represented
by this vast sum Of nearly $3.50, 000, 600
he might produce at home II the Tariff
was only frightened little.
The manufacturer looks on the other
side Of the picture, and he begins to
cipher out how much Of the $3.50, 600, 900
of manufactured goods which are an
nually pouring into our ports could just
as well be made at home by American
labor II the inequalities of the tariff were
only corrected and valuations and
fraudulent invoices stopped. The Nc
Kinley tariff bill Ia intended to meet both
the demand of the American farmer and
the American manufacturer. And SO
they are bound to join issues and stand
by the tariff.
Yet Mr.. Gladstone says the people Of
America should grow more corn (mean-
ing wheat) and more cotton, andananu-
facture less iron and steel and less WOOL
ems. And that is the Free-trade doctrine.
Continue our philanthropic mission for
the relief of the labor and capital OF
Great Britain? Is this the only way out3
Surely not.

POETRY.
The AngeIus Bell.

Come floating soft and clear,
And the toilers pause in their weary work
And bow their heads to hear
The call to prayer. And they seem to ierl
The touch OF the "iand of love-"
And labor iightens with every thought
That scars to the Throne above.
Oh, bell which calleth the mind away
From the things OF care below,
How sweet to lay our burdens down
In the shine of the sunsets glow.
And rest in the lessons OF faith and trust
Which thy clear soft echoes teach.
We are never too far for the Hand OF God,
And the love Of His heart, to reach.
