HERE is a tariff sermon preached by an old lady whose mind ran back to the forties, and who has lived to see not only the Atlantic seaboard but the once ex- clusively agricultural states of the middle section of the country become great manufacturing centsrs:
 Fifty years ago (which would carry her back to the revenue tariff period of 1s40.l I was girl of 16 years old, liv- living with my sister, father and mother on a farm a few miles outside of this city. One day my father loaded up 6 four-horss wagon with wheat raised ou our farm and was starting to Whining ton to sell it. My mother asked him to buy two dresses, one for my sister and one for me. The next day he returned and laid a bundle on the table, and said to my mother: "Jane, there are twenty four lbushels of our wheat. I sold the wheat for 50scents bushel and paid 5o cents per yard for the calico" Now said the old lady, my children are living on that same farm. They can drive in or send in their grain by railroad, get, $l.25 per bushel for it [thst was the figure at the time], and buy better cali co for GA cents per yard. In 1s40 We depended on England for our goods, to- day we manufacture the calico on the Brandywine river, not many miles from here.

"A woman,s Pre.encs of Mind.

Mrs. Richard Barker, of Swansea, Mass, secured a servant from a Bos ton intelligence office, and everything went well for a week. One day the girl was working about as usual, ana Mrs. Barker, who is a slight, frail woman, was alone with her. Suddshr ly the servant threw up both hands and exclaimed: ''I have had vision, and am ordered to offer up a sacrifice. !" Without any further explanation she started into the kitchen, seized cary. ing knife and began diligently to whet 1t in true Shylock fashion, muttering to herself strangely all the time.
 Mrs. Barker saw that she was at the mercy of a crazy woman, and for a second or two fright almost overcame her. She knew that she would be no match for the servant in a struggle. Moreover, if she attempted to make her escape she felt that the knife sharpening would come to an end and the attack would commence. It was at this point that Mrs. Barker dis played unusual nerve and wit. Act ing on the principle that it is oftsn well to humor the insane as far as DOS sibls, she threw up her hands, and, initiating the servants manner, sai2. 'I. too. have had vision. There Is letter for you at the postoffce, and you must go for 1t at once."

Myriads of emigrants take their way. Thousands upon thousands of acres covered with the virgin forest still await the axe of the pioneer. Holding down a claim" on ths frontier, it should be re- marked, has other drawbacks besides that of disputed possession. Many an enterprising setGler who, with iudomit- able hardiEood, has cleared the waste, just as scanty area IS ready for tiilage, is stricken by that foe of the trontlersman, malaria. What a boon to that man and his family is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, what wise torethought has he shown if he has obtained an ade- quate supply. The fairest fields for agricultural and mining enterprise on this continent and abroad are subject to this Infiictlon. Protected by Hoststter's Stomach Bitters it may be defed, It will not do to confide in a robust consti- tuition alone. Malaria prostrates the strong and weak alike. Take the Bitters, too, for rheumatism, dyspepsia, bilious ness, kidney trouble.

OPPOSITION to the new tariff bill by nc
 me ms ceased when that measure be
 came a law of the land. Although { vastly greater reduction of revenue if
 insured that was provided for in the
 much-vaunted Mills bill, the demands
 of free trade attorneys are still satisfied
 Orators and editors purposely misrepre
 sent the terms of the law i'll their at
 tempt to create prejudice among voter:
 for effect in the approaching election The hoodoo of high prices is invoked to frighten voters into electlng a congress that will, so far as possible, minimize the benefcent effects of the measure by
 holding over all protected industries the
 threat of repeal.
 Affecting to believe, what every in- telligent observer knows to be false, that
 the amount of the duty IS added to the price of all competing articles, these leaders in the conspiracy to open Amer ican markets to unrestrained European competition not only predicted that proposed changes in the tariff would enhance prices, but most them are now insisting that the threatened advance has actually been made. 1t is, however a most significant fact that, while finding time and space for such allegations, they have invariably omitted to give facts by way of substantiating them, and have quite as uniformly avoided printing and existing schedules do duties by way of comparison. Had this been done, it would have shown that reductions largely overbalance the in crease of duties ln the majority of sched- ules, the most notable exception being for the protection of agricultural pro ducts, in which increase was accored in response to a quite general demand from the National Grange and other organi- zations of farmers and livestock raiserG. The necessity for readiustment of du- ties on farm products became apparent to every patriotic observer when 1t was seen that of the last fiscal years importatioLs 5251, 1,947, ,35I lnearly one-third of the entire amount) consist ed of articles of food and live al imals" Assuredly the farmers of the United States should have the first opportuni ty, as they have the pest right, to SUD- ply their neighbors with these product of agriculture. This the new tariff law will permit them to do without forcing their labor to level with the low stan- dard of other countries.

Engineers Are Human.

Engineers as class are probaoiy the most industrious, sober and intelligent of all men engaged in skilled mechan- ical labor. They unquestionably have a hoIough appreciation of the respon- sibility of their duties, and conduct themselves accordingly; but the the ory Ihat they have no thought while on duty save the all absorbing one of snatching human beings from the jaws of death, and that the fear of danger to their passengers so constantly gnaws at their hearts that their hair turns gray and their backs bend be- heath the terrible load, is one of the most ridiculous fancies imaginable Interview in New York Sun.

Selling Underwear in New Mexico.

This letter is from one of our travel ing men whom we sent down in New Mexico recently to open up an untried territory. When he left he had quite a bundle of expense money, but about two weeks later he wired us for more funds. We sent him the cash, as we did in another two weeks, when he telegraphed for more. Last week he wired us for a third installment. Up to that time we had not received a single order from him, and I at once wrote to say that we did not begrudge him a reasonable amount of expense money, but at the same time we would like to see some results in the shape of substantial orders. This is his reply: "You sent me down here into New Mexico to travel for you. To travel l must have money. l am selling un- derwear, and how can you expect me to send you orders when I am the only man within a thousand miles of this place who ever wore underclothingf Chicago Herald

ONE feature of this years census cor rects an impression which fastened i sel upon the south as a result of the census of 1880, and which had much to do with exciting race prejudice in that section. The census of 1880 indicated that the colored population of the south was increasing relatively much faster than the white, an indication that in the light of the census of this year was un- soubtedly incorrect, and which was based upon the faulty census of 1870. The defective census. of 1870 was doubt less due to the disorganized state of so- ciety at the south making an accurate enumeration difficult if not impossible. The censes just taken, without doubt, gives the comparative growth of the two races, and even South Carolina and Mis- sissippi are, according to it's figures. des- tined to become ID the not distant fu- ture white states. In 1880 the popula- ton of the former state stood GOA ,332 colored, to 391, ,105 white, but this year the count stands 634,7SS colored to 512.369 white. showing that the former have increased only 30,316, while the whites have increased 121, 1,264. The danger of eolorsd domination at the south is evidently something which ex- ists only in the excited imagination of 6 certain class of timid Southerners,as the census of 1890 clearly reveals. The race question is something which will settle itself, and the south can afford togive tie negro fair play.

In the Rps.idsnt,s Room.

You would be surprised" said the guard in the presidents room at the Capitol, to know how often visitors come in here and, after looking about at the general effect of the furnishing and decorations, which, you observe, are red, ask:
 And where can we find the Blue room we have heard so much aboutP
 'They have mixed up the Capitol and the White House in their minds, of course. Constantly people inquire of me where the presidents living quarters are-whether at this end of the Capitol or the other"
 "Are people permitted to come into the presidents room, sit down and stay as long as they hkef' asked the reporter.
 Most emphatically not The room would be used as sort of club by the loungers of the Capitol if we permitted anything of that sort. The time al- lowed people to stay is five minutes. If visitors overstay that limit they arc politely requested to leave. Why, : have known folks to come here and bring their lunch, evidently with ths intention ot eating It on the center table, or of picknicking on the sofas Such persons are apt to think it an out rage that they should not be allowed so trihing an accommodation. This is the most comfortable room in the Capi tol, and it is not surprising that people should want to take a rest here incl dentally to the fatigue of sight seeing. We have to devote our attention chief. ly to repressing visitors of the sort speak of and to looking out for van- dals who want to cut the tassels of the chairs e mementoes. to take slices out of the sofas for the same purpose or to snip pieces off the curtain to rs- member the presidents room by.

Savings Banks Patrons.

People of what nationality patron ize savings banks the most7"
 ''The Germans are by loEg odds our best customers. AS race they arc thrifty and saving. The moment a young German begins to earn money he almost invariably begins to save it no matter how small the wages he may be getting. Nor when he has once be- gun does he stop. His deposits flow in in a constant stream until they reach the limit, or until the young man has saved enough with which to start business for himself.
 ''Next to the Germans I think you may place those of Irish descent, SO far at least as saving is concerned When opening an account here they keep the fact secret, even to the members of their own families. Many of them, of course, are servant girls, who save great deal of money, some of them ao- cumulating as high as g, 900. ."-Inter- view in Brooklyn Eagle.

TIE promptness with which journals

TEH promptness with which journals in the conspiracy to depopularize tho new tariff law have acted upon the order from headquarters to insist that gen. eral advance in prices of manufactured articles will result from its enforce ment has raised conflict of veracity be- tween publishers and their advancing patrons. While editorials are insisting that prices of all kinds of goods have advanced, merchants are paying for the use ofi the adjoining columns in which to set forth the fact of Jhelr willingness to supply customers at prices quite as low as have ever ruled for similar arti- cles
 More ,han average temerity must ex- i ist on the pail Ca writers or less than average intelligence be credited to read CTS in expecting men to disregard facts so readily within reach ef every one who cares to look for them. Side Dy side with assurances from merchants of { recognized responsibility that goods can be bought of them at prIcss lower than ever before, free-trade agents are repeat 1 ing the stale maxim that any tariff on | foreign pIouucts "ralses the price to consumers of ali articles imported and subject to duty by precisely the sum paid for such duties" and are insisting that nearly or gu te the same enhanced price" has been added to all protected articles of domestic manufacture. Not only does the free traders con- tention that the tariff Is added to prices | find refutatlon in the advertising col unns of most journals repeating that absuraity-it tinds contradiction in the actions of the principal conspirators l. emselves. If true that foreigners lave only to add the tariff to the selling prices of their products and our people will pay the difference, why such enor- nous expenditures of effort and money to break down protective barriers! Evi- dently they are wanting in candor as we'll as consistency.
 It is the wholesome fear of losing American customers by having the wants of our people supplied from do- mestic manufacturss-andn not the fear of higher prices-that occasions European solicitude and inspires the ac- tivity of importers and other free-trade
 
 who cannot see this despite the glamor of sophistry and clouds of misrepresen- tation by which it is sought to have the real facts concealed, have yet lesson to learn, to which they can none too soon apply themselves.

 Besides this there has been a reduc- tion of 60 per cent in the price of white earthsn ware, still greater reduction on carpets, and, in fact, general rsduc- tion on everything protected by tariff taxes. This reduction is made much more emphatic by comparing it with variance in price in articles not pro- tected. Tin plate furnishes an excellent illustration. For example; in twelve years, from 1878 to 1890, the price of charcoal tin plate was only reduced from 5.55 to 5.32 cents per pound. In ether words, the price of tin plates last year was only AZ per cent below the average for twelve years, and if the prices this year are taken the decline would be less. Against reduction of from 2 to 60 per cent on protected arti- cles We have reduction of only 41S per cent on an article not protected. The talk of advance in nprices proceeds almost without exception from the importers, and, perhaps, there have been no more emphatic assertions concerning advance in price than those which have been made relative to carpets. The real fact, however, is that American carpets can be bought IS chssply in Boston or New York today ss before the present tariff was enacted. The following circular, issued by one of the largest carpet concerns in the country, is to the point: Dear Sirs,-It is being industriously circulated that prices of carpets have gone up D per cent since the passage of the Mckinley bill. We desire to say that this statement is untrue. The consumer can purchase to- day the various kinds of carpetings man. ufactured by us at the prices prevailing previous to the passage of the Mckinley | bill.

LYING ABOUT PRICES.

The Philadelphia Press has returned a valuable service in publishing the prices at present as compared with the prices of ten years ago of numerous articles, the manufacture of which has been protected by the imposition of cus- toms duties on their importation, thus conclusiyely showing that just meas ure of protection to American manu- lectures tends to reduce rather than to increase prices. The following table of protected articles is worthy of study:
