Our Protective System.

We are told by those who are OPP
posed to the American protective sys-
tenn that our laws discriminate against
the poor man, and that labor is placed
at an unjust disadvantage by the at
tempt to build up American industries.
Yet the rush of the poor to this coun-
try continues. Even the Canadian
farmer finds it to his interest 70 cross
the line and place himself under the
laws of the United States, which, the
Farmers Alliance tells us, ~grievously
Cypress the honest agriculturist. The
plain fact is that it takes more than
the ranting of demagogues to per.
suade honest and Industrious workers
that this is not the best country In
the world for them, whether they are
tillers of the soil or engaged in any
line of creditable industry. - Troy

Syrup"

Here is something from MI. Frank
A. Hale, proprietor of the De Witt
House, Lewiston, and the Tontine
Hotel, Brunswick, Me. Hotel men
meet the world as it comes and goes,
and are not slow in sizing people
and things up for what they are
worth. He says that he has lost a
father and several brothers and sis
tiers from Pulmonary Consumption,
and is himself frequently troubled
with colds, and he
Hereditary often coughs enough
to make him sick at
Consumptionhis stomach. When
ever he has taken a
cold of this kind he uses Boschee's
German Syrup, and it cures him
every time. Here is a man who
knows the full danger of lung trou-
bles, and would therefore be most
particular as to the medicine he used.
What is his opinion? Listen! AZ
use nothing but Boschee's German
Syrup, and have advised, I presume,
more than a hundred different per-
sons to take it. They agree with
me that it is the best cough syrup
in the market" O

Harrison has been with Blame. And
neither is the antagonist or rival of the
other for the presidential nomination
in 1899.
D In Ohio it il how acknowledged
by all faif-minded democrats that Sem
ator Sherman. Secretary Foster, ex!
Gov. Foraker and Maj. Mckinley are
in perfect accord, and hat this accord
means the election of Mckinley as gov.
ernor and the reelection of John Sher.
man to the senate.
8. In this state there is the same de.
gree of republican harmony and unity.
There are no Depew republicans, MOI
Miller republicans, nor Platt rcpub.
leans nor Hiscock republicans. Re-
publicanism is above all personalities,
and the party will be a unit in It's sup
port of the best ~obtainable candidates.
The republicans of this state are not
divided by any question of party prin-
ciple or policy, but are made n solid
phalaux by the great republican meas
tires that inspire them and that subor-
dinate personal issues.
On the other hand, the democratic
newspapers afford overwhelming evil
dencc that their party is divided on all
the living issues that it must meet, and
on the presidential candidates that are
supported by their respective advocates.
The silver question is dominant in the
southwest and west, where more than
half of the foremost democratic lead
ers antagonize Clevcland's views, and
declare that his candidacy would be
fatal to his party's success. In these
regions there are few prominent demo-
cratic politicians who do not believe
that the nomination of either Cleveland
or Hill would involve the certain loss
of this state to their party.
These are notorious, sclf-evident, Tin.
deniable facts. They need no com.
ment. They are full of cheer and
promise for the republican party and
for the interests of the whole country
that are involved in the success of the
republican measures which are more

GENEROSITY or THE RICH.
1t Is Often the Cause OF Their Being I'm
posed Upon.

~ IL oiNth u 'HuNf OF I nelt Iseltg I'M
posed Upon.
There are some things which a rich
man can not do, even with money; for
instance, he can not satisfy the claims
of all his poo relations. because their
imagination cXaggeratcs both their
needs and the power of money to satisfy
them. Give to every n just what he
asks, and gifts very soon become a
dangerous means of support. Industry
and honest labor produce equable de.
sircs as well as a contcntcd spirit. The
rich, by their gifts, often generate pow
crty and in time render those they help
utterly helpless to aid themselves. This
is true, when the time of failure and
bankruptcy comes
One or two generous rich men in a
church may dwarf the benevolent spirit
of eight or nine hundred people who
worship in that congregation. If there
is an organ to buy, the two rich men
give two-thirds of the money: is the
preacher to pay, the people contribute
what they think is their share and the
rich men pay the balance, if that
amounts to half the claim. If a new
church is to be built at Il cost of twenty
five thousand dollars, the two men
agree to give three dollars for every
one that the people subscribe.
Here is where rich men see an open.
ing to contribute. They do it gener-
ously, with "A good motive, but people
of moderate means study the situation
and think 1--WE shall be excused. We
will hide behind our poverty, then en-.
joy the privileges of the church and let
the rich men cancel the bills" These
rich men are permitted to build our
hospitals, endow our colleges, and eS-
tablish public libraries; the poor are
benefited by these institutions.
Not a few rich men are goadcd to be
suspicious of preachers and solicitors of
money; they grow chary, put on a coat
of mail, think how they can decline and
not offend the solicitor, or they often
put down a small sum as n s~elf-inflicted
penalty for being rich, and thus become
the target of criticism. Stephen Girard
subscribed one hundred dollars to n
good cause because a preacher request
cd it, but the minister reInonstrated
that he expected five hundred dollars
and said, ~ am disappointed" Girard
asked for the book, erased his subscrip-
ton, and bowed the preacher Of his
Office.
The thankful acknowledgement OF a
contribution, even II the sum is small,
is good policy, besides being a good
business rule, Elizabeth Emerson, in
