"Trade follows the flag" is one of those
specious maxims which have become
very popular with the Republicans in
their curious efforts to build up large
export trade by means of ship subsidies
and bounties, at the same time that they
seek to shut out foreign goods by pass
ing high tariff laws. But trade does not
follow the flag. Trade follows the dol
lar, and the dollar, if you let it alone,
will go where the best and cheapest
goods are. No subsidized ships will
be able to build up large export
trade in goods rendered dear by high
taxes ON the raw materials of manufac-
ture. Trade thrives of itself where mar
kets are open, and honest trade asks no
favors.

1t is reported that the Baldwin Loco

tives to Australia. As our locomotive
builders are able to export their locomo-
tives-$1 .250, 600 worth last year, against
none imported-wlat is the use of the
45 per cent. duty which was retained by

Tie Too Frank" IndiviAual.

We hear much of people who are too
frank" These destroyers of the peace of
mind of friend and foe alike pride them
selves on the facs that they are nothing if
not candid" and always say just what
they think" Marion Harland assures us,
however, in The Housekeeper's Weekly,
that this is not truthfulness, and that the
utterance of unnecessary and unkind crit
cism, however honest, is impertinence
amounting to insolence. When your frank
friend" (?) tells you that your gown does
DOT fit, that you dress your hair in
such an unbecoming manner, that your
management of your household is not
what it should be, she takes an unwar
rantable liberty. If traced back the source
Of these remarks would be found, In a
large percentage of instances, in a dis
agreeable temper, captious humors, and a
spirit that Is anything but Christian. One
may be entirely truthful without bestow
ing gratuitous advice and admonition.

A MODERN WOOING.
BY GERTRUDE MORTON.

Hal, did you carry the rackets in
before you came down herc?'
Dorothy closed her book with a snap
and threw it down upon the rock beside
her.
Because if you didn't we ought to 60
home. 1t looks like u shower.
The young man thus appealed to
made no reply. Clothed IN that fantas-
tic garb which the liberal college edu-
cation of to day renders necessary to
the moral standing of glIded youth, he
was reclining in studiously graceful
attitude beside the speaker.
HIS eyes were fixed upon fishing
fleet fast disappearing beyond the hor:
zon. A meditative look adorned his
sunburned face.
Hal, l spoke to you.
Still the rccumbent figure moved
not.
Henry Richardson
THIS proved eIfectual. The young
man quickly raised himself upon one
elbow.
Oh, beg your pardon, Dorothy, he
said. what was 1t that you asked me ?
Why, yes, think YOU are quite right.
1T Is very evident that you are not
quite right IN your mind the young
girl replied, gazing compassionately ly at
him. What is the matter, Hal :?
Nothing
yes. there is, to-. You can't de
ceive me, you know, so there is no use
IN trying. What new scrape have you
been getting into"
None at all. That i., you wouldn't
call it 'scrape' exactly, Hal grlnned.
In fact, I've been unusually good of
late, as you might have observed had
not your thoughts been upon other
scenes intent
oh, indeed Well. the fact that you
have been good is sufficient cause for a
revulsion of feeling of some kind. Now,
I want to know what is troubling you.
You even deign to be interested in
nv mental condition p
Certainly. Have | not the family
good at heart. Speak at once.
Thus brought before the tribunal of
an avenging little goddess clothed in
scarlet gown, and in righteous anxiety
for her family's welfare. Hal was silent
again. Selling little stone, he crush.
ed to atoms shell that lay beside HIM.
Then he rais5d himself suddenly to a
sitting posture and gave his companion
the benefit Of his cogitatlons.
I say, Dorothy. let's get married =
Dorothy Hall came tc gallant race,
and she had the repose Of Princess.
For a second there was silence, while
the pretty color left her cheeks. When
she spoke it was in voice that rivalcd
Halls own for GOODNESS.
And why, pray, should we do that?
You know | am going over to Lon
don in about two MONTHS the young
man continued, unheeded, and | don't
see any reason why we can't be married
and 60 together
Dorothy's dignity early forsook her
nevertheless she managed to put consid-
cradle surprise, even reproach, into her
ejaculation:
Why, cousin Henry!
For heayens sake, child, cried Hal,
don't air that cousin illusion any long.
er. 1t is worn threadbare.
If you object to me for cousin |
shouldn't think you would want me for
a nearer relative There was mischief
in the girls brown eyes.
I should think you might see,' re-
piled Hal. You know. my dear, that
it is the proper thing for man to be
engaged as soon as he leaves college,
aud as long US we've no need to consld.

As gayly as feather.

Originally planned it,
But never dared to sail away
Till with mate she manned 1t.
Though mates ut times must bear breeze
That really is a spankcr,
'Tis when they dare their wiycs disrlease
The latter weigh their rancor.
Some, when upon the welded sea,
Midst squalls and Rocky weather,
Would from the stormy ocean flee,
But more sail on forever.
And should captain lose her mate
Hope isn't left abaft her.
