have seen the wage earners Of Great
Britain and continental Europe; know
how they live; that they are homeless
and landless, as far as ownership is con-
cerned; that they are helpless and hope
less as to any brighter future for them
selves or their children; that, in their
scant wages there is no margin for mis-
fortune and sickness, pauperism being
the only refuge. l know that in this
republic the prudent, temperate and in
dustrious worker is sure of an abundant
reward; that his ambition to succeed
seldom meets with failure; that he owns
land and home; that luxuries to the
European laborer are necessities to the
American. How then can we compete
with the former and maintain our supe-
riority in these regards? Steam and
electricity have made of the world one
neighborhood, eliminating largely the
protection once afforded by time, dis
lance and transportation. There is one
way only of solving this problems: Legis-
lation for our own, tariff for Protection.

Children Cry for
Pitchers Castoria.
Marshall Pass.

Originality consists in doing common
thing in an uncommon way; for example,
there are plenty of newspapers in the world,
but only one Great Dipide. The August
number of this truly original journal fully
sustains its character. A brilliant feature
of this number is the art supplement in
seven different colors, showing Marshall
Pass, the longest, loftiest and widest of the
Rocky Mountains. We learn from the
article descriptive of the pass that The
Great Divide artist spent three weeks in
camp on the spot making sketches, taking
photographs and painting studies, from
which this magnificent picture of the scene,
as 1t actually exists, was made. In and of
itself the art supplement is worth whole
years subscription to the journal whose en-
terprise has produced it. The literary fea-
lures of this number are up to its high
standard; the illustrations are copious and
exceedingly handsome. The picture of the
snow tunnel near Ouray, Colorado is the
first ever made, and graphically illustrates
a wonderful formation, namely, a tunnel
existing in midsummer i'm the snow. through
which fOur-horse coaches are driven, on the
much travelled Silverton and Ouray toll road.
1t is needless to enumerate the many good
things in science, art and literature to be
found in the August number Of The Great
Dipide. This art number will be sent on
application to the publishers at Denver,
Colorado, on receipt of only ten cents.
