The Philadelphia Ledger says:

The farmers are having a merry time
with this Congress. The proposition that
the government shall establish ware houses
for grain and issue notes thereon has been
followed by one that the government shall
.end money at two per cent. on farm mort
cages.
Well, this may seem extreme, but we have
no doubt if our fathers, when they framed
our constitution, had been told that in the
future management of this government, a
party would come into power, which would
use the power of the government to force
large majority ofour people to pay heavy
tax, 40 per cent, on all they bought, to help
another class to fortune aud affluence thay
would have thought that quite as extreme.
They would have thought it the most ex-
treme of wild sche mes to which this gov
ernment should be committed, and far more
unjust in its operations than the scheme the
farmers call for. We question the policy
of all such legislation. The farmer don't
ask that the people be taxed to support
their propositions, but that it shall be self
sustaining. They do not say that we must
be taxed 40 per cent to make their produce
pay.
The tendency of this paternal aud class
policy of this government under this tariff
is to communism, sanctioned by law. 1t is
by force taking from one party his proper.
ty-his money to help another in his busi-
ness. This is the essence of communism,
and Is equally mischevious in its results, in
building up a monyed power in the country,
and in sowing seeds of discomfort among
the people in the conviction that they are
unjustly and unfairly dealt with. We are
opposed to all this system of paternal legis-
lation. Washingtonian.

For the first time Republican statesmen
recognize the essential principle OF recipro-
city in trade with foreign countries. They
admit that if one country has free trade the
other should have it; if sugar is free, then
other things which this country could sell
those who sell US sugar should be flee Of
duty in that country with which we trade.
That is sound doctrine; it is Democratic
doctrine-it is the only doctrine for the
United States. We have said that before
The present administration goes out the
policy Of the Democratic party would be
forced upon it.
Mr.. Reed and Mr.. Mckinley are trying
to drive wooden wedge into steel log
they are trying to lash the members of their
party into holstering up once more the
Eastern fallacy of protection, so as to per-
petuate, or, at Iesat, prolong the bounties
secured by the monopolsts, who in turn
subscribe heavily CT their immense profits
TO Republican campaign funds. They are
trying, too, to put all the election machine
ry of the country into the hands of partisan
officials, where the result can be assured
for given an cunt.
Mr.. Blaine, the President and others are
beginning to seq that the Reed-McKiuley
programme will be rninous, and are eudea-
voring to scotch the wheels. They are
making admissions that bring them clearly
within Democratic lines. Secretary Blaine
says, for example, il long letter to the
President on the subject of reciprocity be-
tween this country and South American re-
pubIics, that:
Since the adoption Of the recommends
tioDs of the conference, which I herewith
enclose, hides have been restored to the free
list, bat tho duty upon carpet wool remains,
and, as the Argentine delegates declared,
represents the only concession we have to
Offer them IN exchange for the removal of
duties upon our peculiar products.
''To escape the delay and uncertainty of
treaties it has been suggested that practi-
cable and prompt mode of testing the ques.
ton was to submit an amendment to tho
pending Tariff bill authorizing the Presi-
dent to declare the ports of the United
States free TO all the products of any nation
of the American hemisphere upon which no
export duties are imposed, whenever aud SO

A pretty woman must, first of all, have
clearly-cut, regular features.
She must have full, clear eyes.
She must have skin that is above re.
proach, untouched by rouge or powder.
She must have glossy hair that has never
known the touch of bleach or dye.
She must have a good figure, plump
enough. yet slender enough, though never
suggestive of au angle.
She must have white, expressive hand,
preferably a small one, but not of necessity,
if it is well kept and white.
She must have small ears and throat
that is like marble column for her head.
She must know how to put on her clothes
or she loses half her beauty.
She must fully understand what best suits
her in the way of hair-dressing and cling
closely to that.
A woman may have all these attractions,
and unless her own personality is charming,
unless she has tact, il dawns on you after
you have seen her once or twice that she is
not pretty woman, but pretty DOLL

AN Old STACK CHIMNEY.
In the Carolina mountains.

In the Carolina mountains.
Overlooking the French broad,
Near some purling silver fountains,
And beside the old stage road,
Stands chimney. stone on stone,
without building, stark and lone.
Far above it is the summit
OF an everlasting peak.
And down many fathoms from it,
Playing many cunning freaK,
Shoots the river broad and clear,
And the rushing sound we hear.
Built it was to add blessing
To an humble mountain home,
Where the flames were lit for dressing
Food from field, and wood. and foam.
And in winter, round its hearth
Gather ed old and young with mirth.
But how changed to-day its mission
And now it stands monument
By, at least, divine permission,
And with mute tongue eloquent
Tells us of the simple poor,
Who lived there, but are no more.
Yes, 1t hints of bitter sorrow;
Ola fire with heated breath;
Ofthe redman's poisoned arrow;
Ola wounding unto death,
And like sentry on his post,
Keeps q watch where all was lost.
Type it is of earth's mutations,
And prophetic OF her end,
For these mountains, as the nations,
And this stream. like foe and friend,
Shall wax old and pass away,
On that great and wrathful day.

The Race Issue.
coLoRED MEN OPINION AS TO SOLUTION
OF THE PROBLEM.


The officers of the Washington tariff re-
form club and colored bureau of informa-
ton have issued an address to tho colored
voters Of the United States and especially
to those south of Mason and Dixon's line in
which division of their votes among all
the political parties is asked. The circular
says: "We were once needed to assault
forts On the battle-ields; now we are
needed at the ballot box to protect the high
tariff monopoly, and when we cease to give
aid to this extraordinarily high tariff and
the thousands of white republican office
holders, we will bs abandoned again and
relegated 20 a political shade Of qu;etude."
The ciIcnlar says that all the love the re-
publican leaders haze for the coloYed man
is to receive bis vote. It declares that the
negro was freed simply as war measure.
Two colored regiments organized in Mas
sachusetts lay for year without being
recognized as part of the Union army
Force of circumstances drove the country
to it; $50 you can see," continued the
crcular, s'that you freed the northern re-
publicans, if any freeing was DONE" The
negroes differ religiously; why not po-
litically, it is asked. 1t is declared that
the southern problem will not be solved by
the passage of national election laws.

Break with the blue of perfect day
And Hope, load>star family high,
Draws me along Loves beaten way,
When noontide lifts a veil and giids
A deeper radiance on the sea.
Then. Annie Bell, my longing heart,
Across the distance calls to thee.
And when about the cloud.hung west,
The purple light grows pale to die;
And waves of sunshine drift to lea,
And dim and dull the landscapes lie.

As song-birds speed to nesting bowers
Or as the night dews' sweetest signs
Steal from the sleeping hearts of flowers

A THRICE TOLD TALE.

Once upon a time, says the Norfolk Vir-
ginion, the merchants of this country own
ed seventy. five per cent of the ships that
carried our foreign tonnage. What do they
own now? Not a ship. The young woman
who went around the world a short time
ago-though she travelled seventy three
days, never saw the Stars and Stripes float
ing from vessels masthead from the time
she left until she returned. Why is this
The school boys ask the question. Because
what is miscalled protection has taxed the
American flag from the ocean.
Speaking of this most unnatural condition
of things, the Philadelphia Record says:
$50 we'll did the merchants and sailors in
the early history of our Government under
stand their calling and their interests that
it was with them that the cry Free Trade
and Sailors Rights originated. Free Trade
| in commerce-which is the right to do bust
ness with whom you please-is thing of
the past; and Sailors Rights have died
with the death of the commerce of the Uni
ted States. This has happened within the
last thirty years of the history of this coun-
try.'
Addressing itselfto the farmers, the same
journal declares:
The same influences are now undermining
and destroying the farmers and farming in
dustries of the United States. More farms
are being sold out every month in the coun-
ties adjacent to Philadelphia than we're sold
~, kr-n loo AvYr nv1ks srn
year. Excepting its foreign commerce, no
industry of this country is so paralyzed to-
day as that of farming. 1t is fast becom-
ing business of the past; not only in so far
as to hardly enable man to make a living.
for himself and family but in every respect.
History is repeating with the farmers the
experiences of the sailors. The farmers as
class do not seem to understand what is
meant by selling in free trade market and
buying in taxed market. They seem to
fail to appreciate the fact that Liverpool
makes the price of grain for Pennsylvania,
the same as it does for Russia and India, and
do not comprehend that it is the price of
their surplus products that makes them
either successful or bankrupt.
The farmers of this country are now do
ing business on basis of buying milk by
dry measure and selling it by wine meas
ure. Iney are Ouylng Dy tne snort ton OF
1000 pounds and selling by the long ton of
2240. They are doing just the reverse of
what they should do in order to become
successful farmers or successful traders. or
all the callings in this country the one that
could stand free trade more absolutely is
that of the farmer. If the Mckinley Tariff
bill should become law, and be enforced
for three years, it is safe to say that no
farmer in Pennsylvania would be able to
pursue bis calling and make his expenses.
When it is understood that about As per
cent. of the people of the United States are
farmers or are interested in farming indus.
tries, it may be realized how disastrous to
the industries of this country would be the
enforcement of the provisions of the McKin-
ley Tariff bill.
