The End.

The end of life is solemn reality,
and one that Is always impressed upon
us with something of startling effect.
The lifeless form lying before us, with
the hands folded silently over the
heart, is an object lesson which will
not pass unnoticed. 1t may be the
stranger that has dropped in our midst
his name is unknown to us we are in
ignorance of whence he came or whittier
he was going. But we lift the hat in
respect for the motionless clay, and set
TO wondering whether or not there are
hearts throbbing with love for him in
some distant home and that will bleed
when, after long waiting, his footsteps
are not heard upon the threshold 1t
may be the friendless pauper who has
dropped opt of the line of march, but
he was man, and we feel rs we look
upon the cold, white face that after all
he was q brother. But when to the
solemnity of dying is added the
wretchedness of friendlessness, dying
seems doubly sad We have seen the
votary of vice fall beneath the weight
of his own sins, and pass out of life
with no eye to drop tear upon the
plain casket and no lips to speak his
name with loving reverence. 1t is an
unutterably sad ending of the day OF
life, and never fails to arouse in the
thoughtful mind the belief that one OF
the highest duties which a man owes
to himself is to make friendship fol-
himself. The man who neglects the
possibilities of living, who covers his
intellect with the mud and gloom OF
dissipation who skaters his charac.
ter and poisons the friendship that
might exist for him, while committing
a sin against his Creator and society,
commits greater sin against himself.
But for the kindly words that are
spoken, the warm graspings of the
hand and tie loving attentions, life is
a dreary waste: and he who makes
such a waste of life is like a man who
should go into garden laughing with
fragrant bloom, and tread the flower
beds into wretched ruin. Life is SC
grand, character so beautiful, manhood
SO divine, that he who does not appre.
ciate them is foolish man and Grim.

The Presidents Letter.

President Harrison : letter to the West
ern States Commercial Congress will be
widely read and heartily approved by all
who are imbued with American ideas
and sentiments. The central ideas of the
letter are home markets for American
producers and an honest dollar for Amer
lean wage-workers. Without charging
upon these ideas to any great extent or
attempting to enforce them by lengthy
argument, the President puts in "A very
strong and convincing light his reasons
for regarding them as essential features
OF national prosperity The Pre- sident
wishes it distinctly understood that he is
Republican and i'm favor of the Repub-
lican policy of protection TO American
industry and American money. The
former he would protect against ruinOus
competition with the pauDer labor Of
Europe and the latter against a ruinous
depreciation of value. The Presidents
views on these points are strongly and
clearly expressed.

Wages and Prices in the Flint Glass In
dustry.

Mr.. James Gillinder, of the firm of
James Gillindcr d Sons, flint glass man
ufacturers of Philadelphia, gave to the
Manufacturer some interesting facts
about the flint glass industry in the
United States, and the effect of the tariff
upon its development He said
"Erom 1860 the flint glass business in
this country was in a fairly prosperous
condition and the manufacturer derived
a fair recompense from the capital in
vested in the business. AT that time the
re ative difference in wages as between
the United States and European coun-
tries was comparatively trifling. As be.
tween England and the United States
the difference was not more than % per
cent. and as between Germany and the
cheaper labor centers of Europe, wages
i'm the United States were about double
what they were in that country"

To Mrs w. ID. Owen. wife of Repre-

lowing sensible and patriotic suggestions

Il wish our women could be persuaded
10 buy only American products. It
would be great benefit to the country

the growth of true American spirit in

how easily this could be checked and
that the remedy is i'm their own hands,

No Danger of Canadian Recipr city.

There is not the least danger that Sec
rotary Blaine will negotiate reciprocity
treaty with Canada which will, in any
sense, conflict with the general principle
of American protection. He is already
on record for sentiments which should
dispel the anxiety of those who fear that
he would favor the free importation OF
Canadian products 10 the detrimcnt of
our own producers. In speech at
Lock Haven, Pa, Oct. -, 1886, he said:
"Some time ago one of the eminent
men in Canada asked me TO use what lit
tie influence ! possess to urge upon our
people the propriety of reciprocity
treaty, which it was understood. he said,
our Minister was then negotiating at the
Court of St. James. | asked how it

and let into the United States free of
duty everything they produced, and cv-
erything we produced to be let into Canada
free of duty. But no. he said, that would
interfere with England. replied, IF
understood you correctly, the idea then
is this: Canada has practically no man
ufactures and plenty of raw material,
and England has no raw material but
plenty OF manufactures and the United
States is expected to be a kind of obcdi-
ent pack horse for the convenience of
both; and that we will let in Canada

thirty eight articles were cmbraced;
thirty-four or thirty.five of them were
imported into Canada, and five, or pos

Canada; and, when they came to
form their tariff, these articles were
placed on the free list. They were arti-
Giles which they could not produce. but
which they wanted imported, so that
they could manufacture from these raw
materials cotton, tobacco, etc"
Mr.. Blaine went on to show that there
was no reciprocity in that for the United
States.

Commenting upon Mr.. Mckinley and
his Rochester speech the Post Express Of
that city, an honestly independent paper,
said i'm recent issre:
There is no doubt whatever that Mr..
Mckinley as the champion of the Repub-
lican doctrine of protection, satisfied his
party friends completely. Among the
many prominent Republicans who lis
tened to him, the prevailing feeling of
confidence as he began deepened into
enthusiasm as he went on and when he
closed they were clearly proud of him.
He glided into his subject
with oratorical cunning; he kept the at
tention of his audience; he made many
telling points--and yet he seldom stepped
beyond an easy and conversational but
impressive tone into anything like pas.

could hardly fail TO regard him as a man

The weather is a queer thing aud plays

Weather Observer Smyth said last night
that unsettled weather conditions continue
in all Of the Atlantic coast states and over
Florida, with generally fair weather and
