The monuments that come down to
us through centuries were built on solid
foundations. The institutions erected
by our fathers were we'll founded and
solidly constructed. Public life to-day
and business careers intended to last
must have solid foundations and a
superstructure joined together with
experience and prudence to insure
future safety. The country is passing
through period of speculation and
schening. Men gamble with the earth
itself at stake,-honesty, stability and
safety are even thrown in the bal
ance. From money to grain, produce,
manufactures and business and trade
combinations was but a step. Specu-
lation soon reached out into fast money!
making societies, modern wonders Of
the world, ofthe town. cities, industries
and Improvements. The demand of a
half century in population, consump-
ton and real money value is required
to redeem all this speculative invest
ment. The best advice in the business
world now is keep close to shore Risk
no more than that which you can af-
ford to lose, and risk your oa0H money.
Halfthe failures to-day are due to inordi-
nate speculation. Towns, like business
men are surest and safest in conservative
cash dealings with legitimate trade
making and saving little all the time !;
growing with age and demand, in
value and experience, that will always
take care of itself.

[ have Travelled all through the indus
trial regions of Europe, and have seen
with my own eyes this pinching want
among the industrial classes. / have
seen women barefooted in the brick
yards of merrie England, carrying cold
slabs of damp clay.
l have seen them filling the coke ovens
of sunny France. | have seen them
emerge from the coal pits of busy Bel
GUM. | have looked on in pity and
amazement at women bearing the brunt
of the heat and toll in the harvest fields
of the German fatherland.
have watched with sorrow and in
dignation women hitched up in Austro-
Hungary with dogs dragging trucks and
hauling burdens. Sunburnt and bent,
with ropes over their shoulders, have
seen women trudging along the banks of
the canals and bikes Of picturesque Hol-
land, dragging boats along the turgid
waters. And, as if to cap the climax of
cheapness and degradation, have seen
women, dressed as men, mixing mortar
and carrying bricks up the scaffolding
to the bricklayers in the charming city
of Stockholm, Sweden.
Having seen all this, knowing all this,
| ask if any one can seriously consider
this state of things and yet repose in alb
solute satisfaction and confidence, as
some of our statesmen do, in the doc
trine of cheapness? - Hon. Robert P.

As farmers we need in our homes the
more frequent use of expressions of en-
dearlnent in our daily intercourse with
our families and friends they cost but
little and are like oil upon the troubled
waters. And kissing should not be mon
opolized by love sick lads and lasses.
The family is simply a whole bundle
of lovers, and this mystic indulgence is
like mucilage, sticking them all to-
geather in one indissoluble mass. Kiss
ing is recognized in the Bible as
means of grace and was commanded by
Paul in five or six different places and
on different occasions, and it was al
ways expected in all friendly greetings.
You will remember that the Saviour
when invited to dine with Simon the
Pharisee, complained that thou ga
vest me no kiss which | entered thy
house" It is lamentable that the habit
has become SO nearly obsolete in our
social greetings.
True and genuine politeness is an
establishment that cannot be dispen-
sed with in any well regulated home,
but how sadly neglected by many far
mers who seem to think it a waste Of
time and breath to indulge in anything
of the kind themselves or to teach it to
their children. This is why so many
farmers sons and daughter are called
green when they appear among
strangers.

Philip A. White, who died in Brook
lyn recently, was negro, millionaire,
a cultured gentleman and one of the
best chemists in the two cities. Near
a half century ago he established a
wholesale and retail drug store in the
" Swamp" in that city, and later
built large store and warehouse in
Gold street. Here he grew rich and
achieved wide reputation in the
trade, For many years he has been
prominent in educational circles in
Brooklyn. There are few better pri-
vate libraries than that collected by the
late DR. White, as he was always called.

In MEMORY OF Mr.. SOLOMON
TH0RNBURG.

Scarcely had the shades of night be-
gan TO waue ere the soul of my worthy
friend yielded itself up to its maker
who gave it, and as we bow in humble
assi@lission to His divine will, we
should all exclain. The Lord has
given, and the Lord has taken. Blessed
be the name OF the Lord. Mr. Thorn
burg lived an exemplary life. He was
an honest, upright, and an industrious
man. 1t was often the pleasure of the
writer to greet him as we passed by his
fields or stopped at his never falling
well to quench our thirst, or see him
sitting on his porch with his happy
family around him. and in fact, no
matter where he was he always had a
kind word for every one He will no
longer gather the seeds in harvest
time. He is sheaf now gathered into
the garner of God. reaping the reward
allotted to the faithful in that beautiful
city which our Saviour has gone to
prepare for those who love and serve
Him. His earthly visionary powers are
closed to things here below, but his
spiritual eyesight is open in Heaven
and there has been revealed to him the
mansion Christ has prepared for the
faithful.
And now dear friends, YOU who
mourn the loss of your loved ones who
have been gathered 50 closely together,
let me say to you, you mourn not as
those who have no hope, but you will
some day be gathered among Gods |
chosen ones around the great white
throne in Heaven. Soon these earthly |
tabernacles of clay will be dissolved,
but we then shall have body imper-
ishable, fifty framed together by God
our maker And now commend you
to His divine care and protection and
say so live that when your summons
comes be ready to yield willingly to
the call
The light from our home is gone,
The father we all loved so we'll.
There is place in our home, O God
That never can be filled.
A FRIEND.

1t would seem SO from the following
extracts taken from letters read at the
Free-trade meeting recently held at
Cooper Union:
Congressman Clifton R. Breckenridge,
of Arkansas:
''Let every man be free, and let trade
be free, that every freeman may enjoy
the maximum profits of his own labor"
Congressman NJ. D. Harter, of Ohio:
1--WE are the advocates of what is
called Free-trade."
Congressman John De Witt Warner,
of New York:
81 regret that an engagement to speak
in Milwaukee on the Sd inst. will deprive
me of the pleasure of taking any part in
the Cooper Union Free-trade meeting"
David A. Wells:
81 am in sympathy with every move
ment organized as Tariff Reform Tar
if for Revenue Only 'Free-Trade,'
Farmers Alliance or any other name"
Henry George:
''Allow me in this way to express my
JOY that men differing on other things at
last unite to declare for Free-trade and
to proclaim uncompromising hostility to
All tariffs"
Congressman Tom l.. johnson, of Ohio:
Count me at all times for Free-trade
and direct taxation. am Free-trader
because l am a Democrat. l am for
Mills, of Texas, for speaker of the house,
because want to have an out and out
Free trader take the chair held by Reed.
Let Democratic leaders, then, be men.
They acknowledge Free trade in private;
let them stop talking in public of per-
centages merely"
We will conclude these extracts with
the following from Governor Hill, of
New York:
"They greatly mistake public senti-
ment who assume to construe the revo-
luton last autumn at the polls as a popu-
lar manifestation in favor of radical
tariff legislation"

PATENT GRANTED. - WASHINGTON,
D. G., May 26,-A patent has been
granted TO Alexander Parks of Mar
tinsburg, w. Va, for utilizing the
waste of distilleries, etc.
Which causes the Wheeling hielH-
aeader to remark that 1t never before
knew that anything went to waste at
distilleries.
We can enlighten the MteAigendey
OH the subject by further remarking
that nothing does go to waste when
hogs are kept around a distillery; but
the Hannis feeds no swine, therefore
Mr. Parks invention is a valuable
means of putting the waste to profitable
use as fuel for the engines. If the m
telligeader staff had this waste there
would be no occasion for the invention.
