AwoMAN's SOUND REMARKS.

AwoMAN's SOUND REMARKS.
Is there person in the country, who has not
suffered directly or indir. city from the evils
wrought by drink? II you experience 1t in no
other way, you have to pay taxes to support
the institutions and ssylums which are filed
chiefly by the Incorporate themselves or the
victims of their excees. TIE peop.e seem to oe
awake to the gravity Of the SITUATION, for, turn
where you will, you find the temperance cause
agitated.
But, is there as much done to promote tenn
perance, and blot Gu. insemperance, as there
is done to further the ref, rms where the re-
suit of indifference woAld not | Q 30 marked3
For instance, look at the trouble taken to Sc
cure honest elections. Sse how, here IN Mas.
sachusrtts, un l, the Australian bal lot system,
every detail of an elect'ou is provided for;
how all the expense and trouble is cheerfully
undergone to secure to each man or voter his
right to freely and independently cast his
ballot, without fear or favor. This is right.
But is not the cause Of temperance Of moro
vital Importance to the State and to the ma
ton? 3
You may say, perhaps, that temperance leg
isation receives great attention from states
men. Different M assures arc en- ctad for the
advancement Of temp rance; but it IS the en-
forcement Of such laws 8. vigilantly looked TO

age; and according to the law MINOR is not
supposed to be able to obtain intox'cants.
Rowever, the law is not as strictly enforced ID
the latter case as in the former. Why not
carry out and complete the resemblance!
As to the bone training, teach the child the

teach him in hi youth what he can and will do

Teach him these things, and with tho sid o:

Don't They Know VIII They Wants

Professor Arthur Lathum Perry, the
great Williams College Free Trader,
elected a yell of joy from the members
of the Massachusetts Tariff Reform
club the other night by making this
sol mn assertion.
There has never been Protective Tariff Tax
that was not put thrc. at the instance Of men
who expected to realize advanced prices on their
goods
Well, people who have anything to
sell usually Ike to get as good price
for it as they can. That is the case
even among the dwellers in the de
lightful village of Williamstown. Is
there anything intrinsically or extrin-
sically wrong in wanting TO get good
price for what you have to sell: Not
in Massachusetts. at any rate Vow,
one of the benefits of the Protective
Tariff is that it enables millions of men
whose sole stock of goods IS their days
labor to sell that stoc, ut the advanced
price. To be sure, Professor Perry
and the rest of his Free Trade bretherin
are positive that that the Protective
Tariff benefits nobody but the manu-
facturerS, but the majority of the
American people do not agree with
them
Yet the American people ought to
be credited with the procession of ord
mary common sense. 1t ought to be
supposed that they know enough to
know whether they are we'll off or
not. If the Tariff helps nobody but
the manufacturers, the people must be
fools to retain the Tariff Perhaps
they are q little wiser than Professor
Perry must think they are; and, per
