Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who,
with MISS Susan B. Anthony, made
a visit to Wyoming to report on the
results of woman suffrage there,
writes that social life goes on there as
in the east. Marriages are not less
common, and the state has not been
compelled to mend stockings or rock
cradles. Women conversed less about
their neighbours affairs and more Of
the principles of government and the
interests of the state. The idea that
they are not stiong enough to vote
and hold Office amused them, and
they said that sitting IN comfortable
chairs listening to cases In court was
the easiest way they had ever found
of earning So a day. Mrs. Hester
Morris was the first woman appointed
as justice of the peace in Wyoming,
and her strict decisions were such q
terror to wife-beaters that they in
variably begged not 10 be brought be-
fore "Old ledge Norris" but to be

Several new acts were introduced with

When the Queen of England wills
to take trip by rail, the event Is of
no small Importance. In preparation
for her recent trip from Carlisle to
Aberdeen, distance of one hundred
and forty miles, instructions were
issued to all road officials several
days in advance, and q copy of the
same, printed in gold, was presented
to the queen, that che might under
stand that every possible arrange
ment had been made for her comfort
ard convenience. Each section
master was directed to examine his
length of line, and station himself at
the south end and HE assistant at
the north end of the same Sec
ton. A pilot engine sped over
the track twenty minutes before the
passing of the royal train, and this
interval was main tanned throughout
the entire journey. No gatherings
were permitted at the way stations,
and passengers were admitted to hut
one station and that the last of the
whole route. Demonstrations of any
sort were forbidden, "tbe object being
that Her Majest should be perfectly
undisturbed throughout the journey"
Engineers on trains that awaited the
passing of the royal cars were directed
not to allow any smoke to escape from
their engines or any sound of blowing
off steam. The queen pays all ex-
penses of losses or delays occasioned
by her journey.

America under fire of so per
cent. duty, while the protected mills
OF America had to shut down periodically
because they make more goods than they
could sell at a profit To what remedy
did these and other manufacturers look
for lettering their condition? Not to in
creased energy, skill, and efficiency on
their part, but 10 more protectiou-to
the salvation of the Mckinley bill. We
must meet protection by increased
efficiency. ami We must beglu Ia our
schools. Our battle was not so much
with America as with the highly skilled
and tastefully educated French and
Germans, whose technical schools
we were paying for by buying their
products, and " hose education we should
continue to pay for till we gave as useful
and appropriate an education 10 our own
people. The Mckinley bill would not
shut out all our manufactures, bur II
ought effectually to shut all American
manufactures in. Under such system
of protection the Americans, who were
destined some day to become the great
est manufacturing nation on earth,
would not be serious competitors in the
world 5 markets. The population of the
United States was said to be 70 900 900,
but the population of the world wRs esti-
mated at 400, 600, 900. or twenty times
as many, of whom Il was said that not
more than one-third had yet been reached
by machine made fabrics. Let them
consider the rapdity of deveiopment that
Was going on all over the world, the ex-
tension of railways aud other means OF
communication, tine march of civiliza-
ton in the old world countries, the new
wants aud cravings for comfort that
everywhere had to be satisfied. and they
would realize that never in the world 8
history had there been a greater demand
for the products of labor, aud that those
who were most painstaking and assidu-
Gus In developing the physical aud intel
lectual faculties with which they were
endowed would merit and receive the best
rewards the world had to offer.

600 200. In 1888. under Il 80 per cent.
duty, the imports from England
amounted to Ell 900 900. From Ger
many the imports amounted e. 500 900
10 1860, against Ell 900, 900 in 1888.
Thus, under tariff that was Intended to
shut out foreign goods. the imports from
England had doubled, while those from
Germany had more than Quadrupled.
Nor must they suppose that those imports
represented What the Americans were
never tired of calling "psuper labor. 2"
Her imports In these days were the best
aud most costly Of European goods and
represented the labor which in payment
most nearly appropriated TO her own
A large proportion of the goods now en-
terlng the United States under q so per
cent. duty were novelties and high
class products such as were not made in
America, and until they were made there
many of these goods would still be AL
mitt-d even though the duties were raised
to 100 per cent. The Americans would
not put forth their energies to make SUI
perIor goods il they found that under the
tariff they could make good profits
on common goods. Therefore the ever
Interesting demand for quality, STYLE,
novelty and beauty would come to Eng
people that we could supply it. Amet3H&
furnished the best example that he knew
of the futlity of protection to protect,
the moment that the supply of protected
goods overlook the home demand.
America at the present moment looked
III vain for q profitable outlet for its
overplus of textiles. particularly cot
ton goods, aud large quantities were
frequently shipped to England to be sold
at any price they would fetch. Yet no
country WIS more favored than America
for taking the lead in the cotton trade.
Their machinery was now mostly made
in the States from English models. They
had unsurpassed water aud steam power,
their cotton grew at home, in fact in the
South he had seen IL growing within
sight OF the factory. They were favored
also by ths highest import duties in the
world, while their operatives
worked longer hours than the
English, and not only this, but
their experts claimed that although
In the aggregate their wages were higher
because they worked harder yet they
minded more looms at q lower rate of
pay by piece than those of Lancashire.
Yet with all these advantages they were
unable TO compete with Lancashire even
in their own markets in the making of
the higher-class goods that their people
bought. They were importing cotton
goods of the value of about f6, 900, 900 a
year, and ouly q mouth ago arrange
msuts were reported for temporarily
"shutting down" fifty cotton mills con-
tanning 5000, 200 spindles (ons-fifth of
the totaD and &C. 900 looms. What
strange irony that English mills should
get nearly the whole of their cotton from
the United States, pay carriage both
ways, work shorter hours and pay as
good wages. keep their mills going all
the year round at fuli pay, exposed 10
the open compel ton of the world and
send back their best goods to
