"south African Progress ,

Our Consul at Cape Town, South
Africa, sends TO the State Department
at Washington report on what he calls
"South African Progress" Among
other things he calls attention to the
great growth Of imports into the coun-
try These imports amounted In 1888
to R5, ass. 900; but in 1889 to e7,942. 600
But the Consul is manlfestly behind
the times He has clearly not yet heard
OF the doctrine which has come into
vogue since he left the United States
the new doctrine called "McKinleyism"
that imports are an injury to a coun-
try and that the only way to have pros
perity is to reduce importation.
Mr.. Blaine's Department OF State
prints the Con9ul's report and sends 1t
abroad into the country.
Is 1t not clearly a party mistake to al
low an unknown Consul under the pres
ent administration to teach doctrine
so contrary to McKin'e ey SIN?
Is 1t judlcious to disseminate the idea
that the more foreign goods country
buys the more progress there is in that
country? Is this Consul an assistant
Democrat" who is trying to undermine
the great and glorious systom of pro-
lection To American industries and
America for Amer,can,2"

LlNCOLN'S MELANCHOLY.
His Sympathetic Nature and His Early
Misfortunes.

Misfortunes.
Those who saw much OF Abraham
Lincoln during the latter years of his
life, were greatly impressed with the
expression of profound melancholy
his face always wore in repose.
Mr.. Lincoln was of a peculiarly
sympathetic and kindly nature. These
strong characteristics influenced, very
napplly, as it proved, his entire politi-
ca career. They would not seem, at
list glance, TO be efficient aids to po-
itical success; but in the peculiar
emergency which Lincoln, in the pro-
idence OF God, was called to meet,
10 vessel of common clay could pos
iDly have become the "chosen of the
odd"
Ttose acquainted with him from
,oyht cd knew that early griefs ting
ID his whole life with sadness. Ills
1irtrer in the grocery business at
'alrm, was "Uncle" Billy Green, of
ral,ula, ILL.,, who used at night, when
the customers were few, to hold the
grammar while Lincoln recited his
lessons.
1t was TO his sympathetic ear Lin
coin told the story of his love for
sweet Ann Rutlidge; and he, in re-
turn, offered what comfort he could
when poor Ann died, and Lincoln's
great heart nearly broke.
"After Ann died." says "Uncle"
Billy, ION stormy nights, when the
wind blew the rain against the roof,
Abe would set thar in the grocery, his
elbows on his knees, his face in his
hands, and The tears runnin' through
his fingers. | hated to see him feel
bad, an I'd say, Aba don't cry; an
he'd look up an say i can't help it,
Bill, the rains fallin' on her"
There are many who can sympa-
thize with this overpowing grief, as
they think of lost loved one, when
"the rains a fallin' on her" What
adds poignancy to the grief some
times is the though. that the lost one
might have been saved.
Fortunate, indeed, is William John
son, of Corona, L. l., a builder, who
writes June 2S, 1890: "Last Febru-
ary, on returning from church one
night, my daughter complained of
having a pain in her ankle. The pain
gradually extended until her entire
limb was swollen and very painful TO
the touch. We called physician,
who after careful examination, pro-
nounced it disease of the kidneys of
long standing. All we could do, did
not seem to benefit her until we tried
Warmers Safe Cure; from the first she
commenced taking it she could not
turn over in bed, ard could just move
her hands a little, but Today she is as
well as she ever was. ! believe | owe
the recovery of my daughter to its
use"

Decay. the Universal Law.

Let anything in nature become life
loss and inactive, and decay follows
as usual sequence. Decay is the
universal law. Can you wonder when
aperson feels constantly worn out
and more than half dead, that decay
of the lungs or kidneys sets in. They
say that decay of the lungs (consump-
tom and decay of the kidneys
(Bright's disease) is incurable. Who
says SOL Only those experimental
doctors who have failed. Don't des-
pair. While there's life, there's hope
In checking decay of the lungs cr
kidneys, in preventing further ulcera-
ton, it is essential that all blood i'm
purities should bc removed, and an
alternative influence exerted upon the
whole system. The appetite and di-
gestion must both be improved. The
nervous system soothed and sleep,
naturer's sweet restorer, invited and

poor. is seen in tho drawback amend
ment which was put into the Tariff bill
upon the motion Of Senator sherman
A drawback is s.mp ya refunded duty.
When any dutiable material is brought
into the country it pays, OF course, the
legal duty; but II til 3 material is used
In the manufacture OF some article, and
this article Is then sold abroad, the
Government refunds % per cent OF the
duty.
Mckinley made change in his Tariff
bill TO the effect that the drawback
shall be % per cent OF the original
duty and took great credit TO his COM
mittee for that action IIe said; "We
give to ths capital ami labor OF this
country substantially free trade in all
foreign materials for uso In the markets
of tho world"
But the Senate adopted the Sherman
amendment that no drawback should
DO paid unless tho amount Is SIC or
more. This will OF course shut out a
large number OF cases where draw back
Is now pad, cases where small orders
are filed and a drawback is allowed on
the bag. tin cans, or other covering OF
the goods ordered.
