woman's Interest In Protection.

Although the privilege of voting for
those who frame the tariff laws is not
extended to the women of the country,
they should be none the less interested in
the struggle that is pending, for If the
Free-traders should gain control of the
government 1t would most seriously af-
feet many thousands who are now en-
ployed in different industries. Accord
ing to recent statistics gathered by the
bureau Of labor, the average weekly
earnings of workngwomen in the United
States is between $5 and 50, and low
though it may seem, yet it is equal to
the average wages of men in England,
and four to five times greater than the
wages of women. Many a woman in
Great Britain can earn but 81 or q. 30
week, while in other parts Of Europe
they earn but few cents day.
Not only this, but the worhngwomen
of many foreign countries are degraded
to the level of beasts, and even In Eng
land and other parts of Great Britain
they simply exist, never knowing COM
forts or luxuries. What contrast Is
presented by our American women and
girlsl Comfortably and sometimes richly
clad, well housed and well fed, no Won
der that they are contented and happy.
Dress goods and all articles Of female
apparel can be bought as cheaply here as
anywhere else in the world. Food, too,
is as cheap, and If rent is little higher.
what does it matter when our American
workingwomen have from five TO ten
times the amount with which to pay it?
But we have been speaking Of those
who get the lowest wsges. The opportu-
mites for advancement and the many
fields to which women are better suited
than men give thousands of our women
and girls wages of S, $40, $ls and even
as high as $50 week. And all Is due
directly or indirectly to our American
system of high tariff. No wonder, then,
that our women should use their inhu-
ence in persuading their fathers and
brothers and other male friends to vote
for the cause of Protection.

STATE AND COUNTY DEBT.

The Census Office has made public
the first results from the eleventh cen
sus in the shape of preliminary bulle-
tin giving the total amount of State and
local Indebtedness in 1880 and in 1890.
The returns for the several States are
complete, and show the total bonded
and floating debt to have been $685.
I30 0,30260 in 1880 and S22S,679,S17.69
in 1890, a decrease of S54,459,4S4.91.
This decrease is not wholly due to
the application to the redemption of
their obligations of the revenues not
needed for current expenses. In some
cases, principally in the Southern States,
this reduction of debt has been effected
by the enforced redemption of Obliga-
tions at a discount. However, the gen
eral tendency during the past decade
has been to reduce State debts.
Taken by divisions the Eastern States
have reduced their debt 81. .296, III .43;
Middle States, SI1,3S7, ,4S2.5O; Southern
States, $2S, ,O22, ,9641S, and the Western
States, 1882, ,920.00.
While State debts have happily de-
creased during the decade, the same is
not true in relation to the obligations of
the 2,S09 counties. in 1880 the bonded
debt of these counties was S104,493,-
1928. In 1890 it was SI30, ,734, ,959.51,
an increase of S26,241 ,206.63. This in
crease was principally in the Western
States, where the county organization is
more important from a fiscal stand
point than in either the township sys-
TEN in the East or the compromise sys-
tenn of the Middle States, the amount OF
increase of debt in the West being Sl7,-
769, ,56961, and in the Territories $3,o79,-
1867, making total of S21 ,63o, 766.2o
for the Western States and Territories.
The results of these tables may, there
fore, be briefly summarized as decided
of State debts for the entire
country and an increase of the county
debts of the Western States and Terrific
ries, due in no small degree to the fact
that the county organizations of these
Western States and Territories have not
yet abandoned the practice of aiding
railroad corporations in extending their
lines through the vast farming districts
of the West. When the facts relating
to the increased industrial progress,
wealth and population of this section of
the country are revealed it is not likely
that the increased amount of county |
debt will appear very formidable.

THE TARIFF AND FARMERS.


New York Tribune.
"What do l think of the Mckinley
bill?" said distinguished and clear
headed Canadian at Washington the
other day in response to question; 81
think it a bill for the annexation of
Canada" Then he went on to explain
that thousands of Canadians, who had
come to depend absolutely upon the
markets in the United States cities for
barley, eggs, and many farm products,
would find it impossible to get living
with those markets closed against them,
and their farms would sink in value ru-
inously, and they would have to fight
for annexation as for their very lives.
The bill would affect in some way
good many manufacturing and mining
producers, but larger number by far
of farmers. At the same time an i'm
portant Northwestern journal was vocif
Grating that the mckinley bill, as to its
duties on farming products, was moth
ing but cheat; it would never benefit
an American farmer to the extent of
single cent, and was never expected to,
but was contrived to gull the gullible."
Such different points of view are taken
by Canadian who knows where the
Canadian farmers get market and by
a Northwestern editor who thinks he
knows.
In the last fiscal year some of the
imports of farm products into the Uni
ted States from Canada were in value
as follows:

THE CHILDREN.

They are idols of hearts and of households;
They are angels of God in disguise;
His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses,
His glory still shines in their eyes.
Those truants from home and from heaven
They have made me more manly and mild,
And know how Jesus could liken
The kingdom of God TO a child.
l ask not life for the dear ones
All radient as others have done,
And that life may have just enough shadow
To temper the glare of the sun;
would pray God to guard them from evil,
But my prayer would bound back to myself;
All, a seraph may pray for sinner,
But sinner must pray for himself.
The twig is so easily bended,
have baniShed the rule and the rod;
have taught them the goodness of knowledge,
They taught ME the goodness of God;
My heart is the dungeon of darkness
Where l shut them for breaking a Iuie;
My frown is sufficient correction;
My love is the law of the school
/ shall leave the house in the autumn,
To traverse the threshold no more;
All, how shall l sigh for the dear ones
That meet ME each morn at the door.
l shall miss the "good night and the kisses,
And the gush of their innocent glee,
The group on the green and the flowers
That are brought every morning to me.
l shall miss them at morn and at even,
Their song in the school and the street,
1 shall miss the low hum of their voices,
And .he tread of their delicate feet.
When the lessons of life are all ended,
And death says "The school is dismissed!'
May the little ones gather around me,
And bid me good night and be kissed
-ChdrLes VI. Dickinson.

Daisy was left at the farm after that,
Blanche, after much persuasion, agree
ing with her papa and uncle that it
would be best, now that she had become
school girl and could not have her
for a constant companion.
Towser often went up to the farm to
visit Daisy, sometimes with his little
mistress; and when she was at school
he sometimes took the freak to make Il
call by himself
That the friendly relations between
this odd couple are continued is shown
by the fact that whenever they meet
they rub their noses together as if per-
feet understanding existed.
Blanche says, on her frequent visits to
the farm: animals can't speak in our
language, but they know great deal,
don't they, Uncle William?" And her
uncle replies; g
''The better acquainted become with
animals the more admiration l have for
their intelligence. | am sure, too, that
they understand and communicate with
each other, and one who is fond of
them can make out their meaning very
readily"

In these few items Canadian farmers
received from this country last year
more than enough money to support en-
tirely about 10000 of them. Or, reck-
oning at the average of farm wages
without board in the Northeastern States,
for many farmers are uncomfortably
aware that they find it hard in that sec
ton to get as much for their years work
as their hired hands get, the work and
support of farmer in the United States
may be reckoned at $25.13 monthly, or
about $500 yearly. Thus, the money
actually paid last year for few farm
products to Canadian farmers at $500
yearly would have compensated 61,977
farmers in this country for their labor.
Without going any further the reason
can be named, if there are $4,000 farms
abandoned or not now worked in East
ern or Middle States, their owners hay
ing been compelled to find some other
occupation or to 60 West and join in
competition with the corn growers of
Illinois, the cattle growers of Texas, or
the wheat growers of Dakota.
The Canadian had sense enough to see
that the Mckinley bill would shut out
Canadian farmers from sales of products
exceeding S20,000,O00 yearly, for there
are many other minor items not above
enumerated. The farmers organiza-
tions of Eastern and Northern States
with rare exceptions have most earnest
ly prayed for just such defence against
foreign competition near the seaboard
and the Northern border as this bill
would give. But there are Free Trade
editors who cannot see that it Injuries
farmers in all parts of the country to
have many thousands forced to give up
farming in Northern and Eastern States,
and to join the crowded ranks of those
who raise wheat and corn, cattle and
cotton, depending upon distant markets
for the sale of a surplus not required for
consumption in this country.

SYNDICATES.
From the Stock Exchange.

From the Stock Exchange.
We are informed that in Europe Ger
many takes the lead as the country of
syndicates in 1889. Ninety-two were
formed there in that year, including an
auction ''ring" and warlingers' ''ring.'
In Austria there were thirty eight syndi-
Gates; in Great Britain, thirty-one; in
France, six; in Russia, seven; in Belgium
eight; in Italy, two; in Sweden, four;
and in Denmark, one. In addition to
these there were eleven international
trusts dealing with copper, zinc, nitrates,
rails, mirror-g glass, sugar, dynamite and
hotels. An America fifty eight syndi-
Gates were formed, several of which
were of English origin. 1t is known
that about 260 of these trusts were
formed last year, and it is probable that
an equal number existed unknown, ex-
cept to those interested in them. The
majority of the syndicates appear to
have been genuine industrial and COM
mercial undertakings.

MAY TWENTY-NINTH.

New York Mail and Express.
1t is curious fact that the rebels in
Richmond should have chosen as the
time for the unwilling of the statue of
Lee and the reiteration of their own de-
votion to the "lost cause and the rebel
rag the anniversary of the day upon
which President johnson issued the
Amnesty Proclamation.
1t is fact that has often been men
toned and never challenged, that there
is no other instance in history of great
civil war ending, as ours did, with COM
plete amnesty to the vanq1ished, and
without single reprisal, single exac-
tion of spoil or indemnity, single exc
cution for treason. The people of Europe
were astounded at the magnanimity of
the North. Most of them considered it
foolish. Possibly it was; but it was the
spontaneous expression of feeling of
good will and brOtherly kindness, which
the Northern people thought would find a
response in the hearts of the SOutherners.
What was the response?
jeff Davis was exalted on pedestal,
and Robert f. Lee on another. Treason
was still ayowed. The magnanimity of
the North was unrecognized, and the
mercy shown to traitors was taken as
matter of right and without word of
thanks. The United States Government
was hated and resisted as bitterly, if not
as Overtly, as ever. The rights of citi-
zens were ruthlessly trampled upon.
Northern men who took their capital and
their brains to help build up the country
that had been overrun by the war were
ostracised, beaten, robbed, outraged,
Now, on the very anniversary that
commentaries the good will of the
North and the Federal Government, the
rebels are gathered again to glorify the
wretched emblem that led them to dis
honor and ruin, and to perpetuate in
bronze the memory of the man to whom,
more than any other man, Virginia owes
all her misfortune of the past thirty
years.
1t is remarkable spectacle, and one
that will not soon be forgotten by the
loyal people of the United States.

SWEET REVENGE.

Boston Globe.
"When much younger than l am now,"
said an old newspaper man, 81 sold sew
ing machines. You may rest assured l
was tri1e fresh, and suffered therefor,
as the following adventure will show:
Near the close of hot August day l
was driving through the little village
of c. to the town where made my
headquarters. Suddenly big black
cloud appeared in the sky and when my
played out horse had covered half mile
the rain came dancing down. L had
two machines on and no blanket. To
save myself and. machines from being
drenched 1 drove for the only house
within radius of mile. | was sorry
sight when l reached that old country
mansion. Jumping out, L knocked at
the door, / explained that L would like
to leave my machines temporarily, in
order to save them from the storm. Be
fore l made the request l discovered
that the young lady who responded to
my knock was one with whom, much
against her will, had left a machine on
trial month or two before, and had on
ly taken it back after repeated protesta-
tions on her part that she did not want
it. You understand, we used to get
machine into house by representing
that we would leave it on trial. But
once we got it into the house we insist
ed on its being bought, and used every
persuasive art to accomplish that result.
Frequently this was very embarrassing
to the lady of the house, and she never
forgives us for the annoyance of leaving
the machine for weeks, and asking her
every other day if she wouldn't buy,
when she had emphatically declared
she would not. Now was the turn of
the young lady to get square. And
although the rain had nearly wash
ed the machines out of the wagon, she
slammed the door in my face and then
sat by the window enjoying my discOm-
future to her hearts content. AS pre-
pared to drive away turned my head
and beheld her pretty face bubbling
over with smiles. When | reached N
l was sight to behold. But the expert
ence cured my freshness.

A REMARKABLE DISCOVERY.

| A REMARKABLE DlSCON ERH.
Now York Sun.
DR.. A. Supan, the distinguished Ger
man geographer, makes the remarkable
assertion in Peterman's Mitteilungen
that changes in the geographical latitude
years. 1t was thought that these appar-
rent changes might be due to errors in
observations or imperfeetions in instru-
ments, but during the past year syste-
matte observations have been made at a
number of central European observa-
tories which have demonstrated that the
geographical latitude of place is not
constant, or, in other words, that the
earth's axis is subject to the small va
riations with regard to whose character
and cause we are as yet completely in
the dark.
Prof. Helmert reports upon this re-
markable discovery that in the first half
of 1889 no change in the latitude of
Berlin and Potsdam was observed,
but that in the third quarter there was
an increase in latitude, or, in other
words, these cities were a little nearer
the north pole. This was followed by
diminishing of latitude, which extended
through the last quarter of the year, and
had apparently reached an end in Janu-
ary of this year. The difference in lati-
tude observed at Berlin and POtsdam
amounted to one and One-tenth seconds,
and these results were exactly confirmed
by observations at Prague. Since the
same result has been reached with
very different instruments at three OBJ
servatories, one of which is two degrees
south of both the others, the phenome-
non can scarcely be attributed to errors
in instruments or observations.
DR.. Supan adds that this important
matter will be considered by the perma-
nent Commission of the International
Geodetic Conference, which will meet at
Freiburg in September, and it is hoped
that an extensive system of observations
will be carried out, which may result in
explaining the phenomenon.

this manner an alleged free trade country
prohibits imports from a friendly rival.
Yet around us we see and hear intelli-
gent beings weeping and wailing because
gates have been erected to charge an
admission fee to the products of foreign
cheap labor, in protection of American
industry. These sentimental cranks
