TWO KINDS OF TARIFF REFORM
LITERATURE.

Whatever virtues the Democra-
tic tariff reformers may possess,
consistency is certainly not one of
them. Until Mr.. Vest wrote Lis
famous letter declaring that the
campaign of 1885 was a fight unto
the death against the protected
industries of the country, there
was at least chance to blind q
part of the people as to the real
meaning of the Democratic plat
form. This letter was an open an
defiant denial that Democratic
tariff reform had any other than a
free trade meaning.
In strong contrast with this let
ter, as far as deceptiveness Is con-
cerned, is the tariff reform litera-
ture sent out by the Democratic
Tariff Reform Club. This litera-
ture is of two kinds. One is got
ten up especially for the farmer,
and the other for the tradesmen
and workingmen. The one ad-
dressed to the farmer explains how
free trade will enable him to get
higher prices for pork, beef,
wheat, wool, and all other farm
products, while at the same time,
he will 'obtain all manufactured
products necessary to his con-
venience and happiness at greatly
reduced cost. The other, address
ed to the tradesmen and wage
worker, recites how free trade will
reduce the prices on all the neces-
saries of life, and enable him to
live much more comfortably and
without the attendant expense
that now exists, while wages will
be higher because of the impetus
that will be given to manufactur-
ing. Thus it will be seen that,
what is good tariff reform litera-
ture for the farmer is most de-
structive to the interests of the
wage worker, and vice versa.
Great care will have to be exer-
cised in the distribution of these
two classes of literature; for, If
the tradesman gets hold of that
intended for the farmer it will
make him a solid protectionist. II
the farmer gets hold of that in
tended for the tradesman and
wage worker it will have a like
effect upon him. The strongest
argument the Republican party
can put forth to advocate protec.
ton is to see that every voter is
supplied with both kinds of Demo.
cratic Tariff Reform literature.

THE PARKS OF PARIS.
For the Graphic.
CRY OF PARIS, FRANCE.
February 3d, 1890.


February 3d, 1890.
Paris is one of the most densely
populated cities in Europe. Most
of the buildings are four and five
stories high, and are cut up into
very small rooms and fully occu-
pied, hence lots are very scarce
and valuable yet, just because of
this, parks and public grounds
are considered of great import
ance. In Paris there are over
five Thousand acres devoted to
these purposes and without which
the city might smother itself al
most out of existence. But with
these great public breathing places
all is well, and though in great
city, one may enjoy the privilege
of losing himself in a small but
deep, dark wood, among caves,
grottoes and bramble thickets and
where nearly every species Of bird
and beast may be seen. Such a
place is Bois de Boulogne Just in
the edge of the city. This park
covers an area of about 2250 acres;
also the Jardln de Acclimation
where foreign plants and animals
are brought for the purpose Of ac-
climating them in Fraece. Here
nearly every flower or living ami
NAL we saw in the tropics we see
here, also many of the uses to
which they are appropriated. For
example, recently while visiting
the geological garden we enjoyed
ride on an elephant. There were
six of us on board at the same
time and it cost the entire party
thirty cents. AS to how it went [
can only say it went very much
like riding on an elephant. There
was sort of heave-and-jog-
along jostle, that was cross be-
tween riding on an OK and a pacing
horse. There were no saddles, but
benches with backs and foot
boards were fastened lengthwise
on either side. The party after
being equally divided sat sidewise
and then an iron bar was placed
in front too keep us from falling
over the banisters. But how did
we get on? Why, Jumbo was led
up between two stone platforms
about ten feet high. We ascended
these by means of steps and then
just like getting on a train we all
went aboard, got seats, when the
driver said "aller' and we moved
off in the presence of a large crowd
that, | suppose, came to see us off.
Occasionally Jumbo would reach
back his trunk for bread, apples,
oranges etc, which he seemed
willing to take as his pay for our
fare. When he Topped his ears it
raised a breeze on both sides.
After our ride we went around
and paid our respects to the tigers,
wild cats, monkeys, hyenas and
hedge hogs. In the park Of Jar
din des PIantes the cave bear,
wolves, kangaroo, Llama, camel,
bat, badger, big snake and snap
ping turtle are all to be seen, free
of charge, while in the other gar
dens ter cents admission is char e.
ed on Sunday and twenty cents on
week days, yet all the parks are
free. In the aquariums the in
habitants of fresh and salt water
are seen. Thus Paris can show,
about all that earth, air and sea
possesses. RAMBLER.

Mrs. Bright Taken to Jamestown,
FRO Tuesdays Daily.1

Iron Tuesdays Daily.]
The insanity OF Mrs. Gordon Bright was
more pronounced Monday and last even
ing Sheriff Donnelly took her to the asylum
at Jamestown, where under DR.. Archi.
bald's kind treatment she may be success
fully treated. Yesterday morning she
came down the streets bareheaded, with
her little child in arms and after a heart
rending demonstration in which in a sing
song manner she spoke of her husband and
COLLABORATING God for protection-she
was taken to the Jail. At times she was
rational but as the day passed she became
very b%oistrOus. Her hands were hand
cuffed behind her and her feet tied together
yet it required two strong men to hold her,
1t was a pitiable sight. She refuses to eat
and has taken nothing but a cup of milk
for two days or more.
Her husband is in Fairhaven. He went
west last June, since which time he has
sent her but $50. Friday she received a
letter from him that he had sent her $50
and would meet her in Fairhaven. He
said he had telegraphed it. She vent to
the telegraph office several times but no
word came from her husband. It is be-
lieved the disappointment completely dis
arranged her mind, already weak from
months of neglect, worry and poverty.
Those who know Bright do not believe
he sent the money. Having abused his
wife shamefully while living with her, the
natural conclusion is that the letter an
nOuncing the sending Of money was a
deception.

Mrs. Gordon Bright Insane.
From SUNDAYS DaiIy,1

Mrs. Gordon Bright has suddenly be-
come a raving maniac, which her physi-
clan, DR.. Fraser, believes is caused chiefly
by mental anxiety and poverty. That she
may do no harm to herself or children it
was thought best to contine her in the
county Jail. The children will be taken
care of by their grandmother, Mrs. Hoov-
er. Gordon Bright has been out in WASH
ington somewhere several years and it is
said that he has not contributed to the
support of his family as a dutiful husband
should, which, together with extreme
poverty. distress and worry has ruined
Mrs. Bright's mind. 1t is a pitiful case in
deed. Mrs. Bright was we'll known and a
popular %neighbor. A half dozen years ago
when a handsome young girl she was
welded to Gordon Bright, who swore to
love and protect her through the lights
and shadows OF life. The oath has been
broken. Mrs. Bright has persistently
spurned all offers of assistance, preferring,
it seems, to die in her lowly condition than
to confess the negligence of her husband.
Her mania has now taken such a violent
form that confinement in the Jail is neces-
Sary.

Spare the Fruit Trees.

With the poisoning Of the few fruit
trees scattered around town juvenile van
dalism of a most aggravated form has "de-
%veloped," and the blossom laden trees are
relentlessly torn and striped Of their foliage
by the little brigands of Sunday school
age in and out of pants. If they are un-
conscious of the mischief they are perpe-
trating by their petty trespasses, an object
lesson should be administered with a will
low-wand attachment. It is not pleasant to
see trees thus torn to pieces and despoiled
Of their beauty to say nothing of future
fruitage, just for the amusement of home
neglected "pets" who are perhaps more the
victims of needed restraint, than mate
wickedness. Parents should look to this
matter.
