MCKINLEY is the text from which
Republican itinerants continue to har.
rangue the multitudes, and their ut.
terances find a ready sanction i n the
organs of that party. Let us see.
Mckinley is the man who has repeat
edly assured his friends and admirers,
as well as those who differ from him,
that the best thing the United States
could do would be to enact prohib-
itory tariff law, absolutely shutting
one of his "profuse illusions" at Gar
rettsville, in the fall of 1888, when
warning against the efforts of Grover
Cleveland to wrest the government
from the hands of the high tariff rob-
bers, he wished there was a wall
around the country SO high that no
foreigner could ever scale it with a
pound of his merchandise. He want
ed tariff reform" but the reform must
be an increase instead of decrease in
the duties levied. He assured his au.
dience that the foreign producer paid
the tax. and in short made character
istic 1883 Republican campaign speech,
devoid of truth or reason. A year or
SO later he appeared in Ravenna with
substantially the same utterances, and
his Republican followers yelled them
selves hOarse applauding the " finish
ed oratory," (and the Major is ready
talker) of their anti free trade" idol.
These same Republicans are now laud-
ing him to the skies because, by the
provisions of the tariff measure bear.

black hair and eyes, clear olive COM

She was dignifed in manner, rather
cold to those with whom she was not
very intimate, and had a well-stored
mind and many graceful accomplish
ments. Dot was petite, plump, blonde,
as pretty as fairy, with fluffy golden
hair and bfue eyes; impulsive and affec-
tionate, scatter Drained, and with only
such accomplishments as could be
learned specifically. She sang like a
bird, but Fan always had to play her

she embroidered, if Fan drew her pat

between girlhood and womanhood. My
mother died when was but six years
old, leaving me small fortune in the
hands of an honest trustee, who more
than doubled it's proportions before l
came of age. When I was seventeen
years old, my father married the pref
test little blue-eyed girl, only two
years older than her step-daughter, and
who evidently worshiped her handsome,
elderly husband, in spite of the dis
parity of years between them. A year
later, my twin-sisters were born, and
christened Frances and Dora, speedily
converted to Fan and Dot Ten long
years of happiness followed, before my
dear, loving little step-mother died. We
were a most united family, and my
fathers great wealth gave us every
luxury, so that there was absolutely no
cloud upon our happiness, until death
came amongst us. Two years later, my
father died, leaving large property to
be divided amongst us, and appointing
James. Trueman, his lifelong friend,
our guardian. ,9} 5sss,f& a.
BY the terms Of his will, my sisters
