In mo- direction does the ingenuity OF
the free-trade attorneys become more
evident than when he is juggling with
percentages and ad valorem equivalents
in our tariff laws. AS so much of his
stock i'm trade consist Of statements
that lead TO bewilder and dazzel To
blind, T" he revels in the realm Of equiva-
lent percentages, aiming thereby TO con
fuse the inconsiderate voter and leave
with him AN impression mt variance with
his impulse To do that which is for the
best interests OF himself and others.
As prices go down under competition
between home producers. AZ has always
resulted from adequate protection ufany
industry, and il seems no longer possible
To frighten voters with the threat uf in
creased expenses Of living, the attorneys
Tor free trade begin To ring the changes
ON the resulting enhancement 81 tariff
equivalents. Hence the falsehood that
tariffs are now higher than at the close
Of the war. This frce-trade bubble, that
is iloated before the eyes of the voters
whenever opportunity offers, can be read
lily exploded by the citation OF IA few
solid facts
When steel rails were selling at $50 per
ton the existing tariff Of SIT was the
equivalent Of thirty-foiIr per cent. which
Is less than what the trainers of the once
famous "Mills Bill' recognized as a fair
protection OF the average OF domestic
manufactures. But when the competi-
ton between producers forced the prices
OF rails down to S2S per ton the same
tariff Of SIT became the equivalent Of
over sixty per cent. and the effort was at
once made 10 turn the attention OF
voters from the low prices at which rails
were selling To the contemplation OF ex-
cessive tariff percentages. And this when
foreign rails could not have been import
ed, except at a loss, il the tariff had been
reduced by hall.
And SO on through the entire category
OF manufacturers. The prices OF every
protected product have been lowered !;
and To conceal this fact, which is Mt var
lance with the theory Of free trade and
the prediction OF all its prophets, those
who find it To their interest to insist
that foreigners shall be permitted To SeIl
in American markets ON terms that are
not accorded To American citizens, Mt
tempt with clouds OF figures Co conceal
the chief facts at issue, TO the end that
voters may be led TO believe a lie.

A Story About Stewart.

An old employe of the late A. I.
Stewart, the millionaire dry goods
merchant of New York, relates an
instance which shows the means
sometimes employed by that gen
tleman for enforcing the rules Of his
store. There was rule to the effect
that no person employed In the
building should carry matches, un-
der penalty Of dismissal. One
evening, as Mr.. Stewart was pass
ing through the store on his way
home, he suddenly turned to a
number of clerks who were stand
ing near the door, and asked: "Can
any of you oblige me with match?'
No one answered for moment,
till one of the men, prompted by
courtesy and thinking that his en-
ployer would not take advantage OF
him, replied, Certainly, sir; here
is one"
"You are discharged" was the
ungracious response. $50 to the
desk and get. what is due you"
And with a "good evening" Mr..
Stewart passed on to his carriage.

How to Wear Shoes.

1t is true economy. according to
Good Housekeeping, for every per-
son to have several pairs Of shoes,
and to wear them alternately. In
the first place, by SC doing, corns
and other soreness of the members
may be to a considerable degree
avoided. These come from contin-
uous friction or pressure at a GER
tain point, and as no two pairs OF
shoes shear" on the feet quite alike,
the change breaks up the continuity
and obviates or prevents the un-
pleasant result. 1t is also better
for the shoes themselves. Do not
wear them, in ordinary weather, it
the best service is desired, more
than three or four days, or week at
most, before giving them chance
to become thoroughly dry. Many
if not most feet emit sufficient mois-
ture to affect the shoe, giving it the
sticky, unpleasant feeling which is
so familiar, but to which we do not
often give a second thought. Con-
trast this feeling to that of shoe
which has been standing unused for
a week or a month, and notice how
grateful the feeling of thorough dry
ness in the last named. Perhaps the
reader never thought of that before.

A Reason for Everything.

Those who understand the prin-
ciples of Nature will see them work.
ing in all things. We see one plant
grow luxuriously and crowd others
out of existence or into spindling
life. When a plant does not grow
properly, there is reason for 1t !;
and when the effect is seen, the
cause should be sought for and re-
moved if possible. The same prin-
ciple is working all around us IN
business; and if the heads of weakly
concerns lack decision and judg-
ment, the gardener will not be made
to dig about the plant and it will
die. Sometimes a live head Will
see the necessity of securing a new
gardener. Men, like machines, out
live their usefulness. The one
should be broken up, the other sent
to a new field Of action. The cause
of failure is plain to those who pos
sess occult knowledge. Of conrse
no one would fail if he had the
power to see why he fails; the cause
is occult (hidden) from him, but
not from those who possess knowl
edge. Education counts for little
in such matters.

Conversation.

Benjamin Franklin, in his auto
biography, lays down canon of
good breeding in conversation which
is worth keeping in mind. He says
that he formed the habit Of express
ing himself "in terms Of moderate
diffidence," never using the words
certainly" undoubtedly" or any
others that give an air of positive
ness to an opinion on subjects that
may possibly be disputed; saying
rather, ut appears to me-" or, Il
should think it co. or, IF I am
not mistaken" This habit, he said,
was of great advantage to him in
persuading people to adopt his
views, and also helped him to gather
much valuable knowledge which
otherwise would have been withheld.
For, as rule, people do not care to
impart information to one who is
firmly intrenched in his own opin-
ions. Young people are very apt
to have a positive, dogmatic way of
expressing themselves, and should
be trained to a moderate, as we'll as
graceful, use of language. The use
of slang has tendency toward the
error which Franklin tried to avoid

How to Make q Good Wife Unhappy.

See your wife as seldom as posi-
BILE. If she is warm hearted and
cheerful in temper, or if, after a
days or a week s absence, she meets
you with a smiling face, and in an
affectionate manner, be sure to look
coldly upon her, and answer her
with nonosyllables. If she forces
back her tears, and is resolved to
look cheerful, sit down and cape in
her presence, till she is fully con-
vinced of your indifference. Never
think you have anything to do to
make her happy, but that her hap
piness is to flow from gratifying
your caprices; and when she has
done all woman can do, be sure
you do not appear gratified. Never
take an interest in any of her pur'
suits; and if she asks your advice
make her feel that she is trouble,
some and impertinent. If she
attempts to rally your good-humol
on any of your peculiurities, never
join in the laugh, but frown her into
silence. If she has faults (which
without doubt, she will have, ano
perhaps may be ignorant of, never
attempt with kindness to correct
them, but continually obtrude upon
her ears: "What a good wife Mr.
