That individuality, whiehis recog-
nized and reyerenced in men of gen.

70 the question, "Can young
man who intends to pursue bust

college course for four years, and
thus delay his entrance into business
until the age of twenty two or three2"

fF If he is to be.a man of affairs in

YOU mean by Al abusiness career

is limited to the walls Of the ''office,

!. Modern science has brought all
the nations of the earth into very
close relations, and the man Of affairs

great disadvantage. The roots of the
English language are largely to be

even harder to master than old La

which modern English has drawn
more largely than any other.

STILL WORKING FOR FREE TRADE.
In providing for the expense of gov
eminent it becomes necessary to tax
property and business of our people.
Protection by tariff is to insure adequate
CONDENSATION for these necessary bur-
dens by compel ing foreigners seeking to
compete in business with our citizens to
pay roundly for the privilege, and by so
much reduce domestic taxes The effect
of free foreign trade would be tt, increase
the expense now imposed upon the citi-
zen and to exempt the foreigner alto
gether. On this the issue is made up.
There were some who advocated the
free trade policy in the early days of re-
public; but their unreasonable demand
was silenced by an overwhelming ma
jority of those patriots of the Revolution
who insisted that political independence
the young republic could not long be
maintained if the country remained
commercially dependent upon England.
SO general was this conviction that the
first Congress Immediately passed and
Washington signed bill with the avowed
object of protecting all industries neces-
gary to commercial independence against
untaxed alien competition.
European manufacturers and their
American allies were just as vociferous
in denunciation Of those ta1iffs laid by
our first Congress as they have been of
subsequent legislation looking to the de-
Tense of our domestic Industries. Every
proposition for lowering the barriers
against against alien competition has
been cheered by the European press and
found substantial backing among those
foreign manufacturers who foresaw profit
in a monopoly Of, american markets.
And though so often repulsed, and at the

Lucy, La Crosse-That the gentleman
has asked you to become his wife, and
placed an engagement ring on your fin;
ger, would indicate his intentions to be
of al honorable character, but that dur

been his betrothed, he has never re-
verified to the subject of marriage, is to
say the least, rather singular, the more
so since he has an income sufficient to
support a wife in comfort. It would be
