not be got at. Reports do not agree as to
how many there were in sight. Some said
three, some five, and others only one. As

What ho is talking about, but Mr. Glove
land. as fros dent for four years, had
opportunities for securing know edge
and information about the finances OF tho
nation which shame his ignorance. A
single example will show how ar he de-
parted from accuracy In his prcscntat on
of figures. The pension expenditures OF
the National Government were asserted
by him TO be three times greater than
they were IA few years ago, when the
total for a given year was $50, 900, 900.
The Pension Bureau report shows that
tho annual ouJgo for the current year
will not exceed SIG, 600 Mr. Cleve-
land was thus only S43, 300, 900 out of the
way. This may not be a large sum In
DemoC~atic calculation, but il is quite a
considerable amount in national finances.
1t should, moreover be understood that
OF this Sll6, 000,0 900 very large sum is
for arrears CT pensions, which will not
be required next year, and that the an
nual expenditure for pensions after these
arrears are Uaid will be largely under

Source of the Snuth's ProSperi y.

The St Louis Republic thinks il has
found ground Tor criticism in the impli
cat on of some of President Harrson's
Southern speeches that the industrial
progress OF The south was largely due to
the Republican party. The truth Is, ."
says tho Republic, that Southern indus.
tries owe the Republican party abso-
lutely nothing. The Southern manu-
facture of iron, cotton, etc, was posi-
bly, in greater volume and certainly i'm
more prosperous condition in 1860 than
at the close of the reconstruction era of
Republican misrule 1t admits that
some progress was made after Demo
cratic State governments were re estab-
lished in the South, but says: 1T was
not until Cleyeland's administration
demonstrated that the South was back
in the Union that the real era of indus
trial development began there " This
is absurdly false. The South owes all
its modern progress directly or indi-
rectly to the Republican party. Sup
pose the Repub lean party had never
been formed and that the old Demo-
cratic regime and slavery had continued,
where would tho South be to- day? Or,
suppose that, slavery being abolished,
the Democratic policy OF free trade had
prevailed instead of tho Republican
policy of protection, where would the
South be? 10 is not necessary 20 pro-

Soap-lSayk for Cleaning.

There are very few women who un-
derstand how VI use soap-bark. 1t is the
very best cleaning material in use.
Nothing else cleans black silk or black
wooden dress SO satisfactorily. Five
cents worth will clean an entire dress.
1t may be purchased at any druggists
in the city or country, being commonly
used by all tailors ia clea,ing gentle
mems clothes. 10 may be used to clean
almost any dark cloth, but it possesses
colcr enough in itself to be liable To stain
delicate color. To prepare soap bark
for cleaning, pour about quart OF boil
ing water over } cents worth of the
bark Let il boil gently for two hours
and at the end OF the time strain it
through piece Of cheese cloth. Put the
liquor in clean pail. Have ready a
smooth board OF suitable size, and have
the dress to be cleaned already ripped,
shaken and brushed free from dust. Lay
each piece of cloth one after another on
the board, and sponge il thoroughly on
both sides, rubbing carefully any spe-
cially soiled spots. After all the cloth is
sponged, fill "a large tub full of cold
water, and rinse each piece OF the goods
up and down I'm it, one at time, so as to
remove thoroughly the soap-bark. Wiring
the pieces through the wrinoer, lay
them in a heavy, can. clothes basket,
and when all are r'nSed and wrung out,
begin pressing the first that We're rolled
up Iron them On the wrong side IL
wooden cloth, till they are dry or nearly
so; then hang chem on clothes-horSe to
air for at least twelve hours. The cloth
S<uld hang in place free from dust,
and when il is put away it will look like
new. IL the dress to be cleaned is silk,
after thoroughly sponging it in the soap
bark, Law il on clean board and sponge
it off with clear, cold water on both sides.
Wipe off all the excess OF moisture you
can. Pin the sAaler pieces of silk on
sheet, and hang the sheet outdoors in a
shay place, where no sun can reach it,
or throw the sheet over the clothes-horse.
1t will need Slight pressing on the
wrong side when it is made up to make
it perfectly smooth. YOrk Tribune.

German View, of Reciprocity.

In view Of the fact that the English
papers of Rio, New York, and London
were prompt in their assertions that the
enforcement OF reciprocity treaties by
the aid Of the Mckinley bill offered no
advantages 70 American trade, the fol-
lowing extracts from huhlOiC'S are in

unjustiied favoring Of the North Amer

consequence that cur export TO the Bra

The Commercial Chamber of Lcipsic
addresses the imperial Chancellor on
this subject as follows, in part:
"Your eXcellcncy knows that the
United StateS-aiter having locked by
the Mckinley bill more than ever their
country against European impOrt-have
begun, following the instigatioIis of the
Pan-American Congress, to enter by
commercial treaties into closer relation
with other American States by the
commercial treaty with the BrazilS, and
which must BE- looked upon as the first
result of these cudcavorS, important

not only productions Of agriculture and

English goods the same rights as TO the
North American ones: and according to
intelligence received, Lord Salisbury has
promised TO do al in his power TO attain

No. 8,
4 sample of Free-Trade Nonsense.

In its report OF the banquet of the
Tariff League, in New York. the New
York World gave the duties on the ar.
ticles used at the dinner and worn by
tho guests The Anglomaniac press re.
ccived this feature of the report with so
much favor that it has since been going
the rounds. In regard to the hose worn
by Major Mckinley, and other articles
of his apparel, ii gave the duty as fol-
lows:
Duty. Tax.
pair socks, cotton. 81 doz and 40 p. @. S0.2l
Every man, unless he is seeking Con-
gress or Office on the "no-socks" plan of
Jerry Simpson, knows that good quail
ity Of mems hose can be purchased for
% cents a pair, and fair article for
even less sum, % that the price abroad
would DO cents pair, according TO tho
free-trade theory that the duty is added
TO the foreign price. But, as a matter
of fact, the great part OF the hosiery
worn by the American people is made in
the United States in abundance, and
never was SO cheap as nov, when we are
independent Of the foreign maker so far
as the common grades are concerned
The next item mentioned by the lVOrLd
was:
l shirt p. c. S0.55
Very good Numbered shirts, made in
the United States, are retailed for 81
each, showing that the duty has nothing
whatever to do with the price.
l suit clothing .49loc ID. and go p. c. S1443
Very good suits Of clothes can be pur-
chased in any considerable town in the
older States for $40, and more clothes
costing So and less suit are worn than
there are that cost more than that iigare.
Consequently the duty has nothing to do
with the cost of such American-made
clothing. The duts is paid by those who
think thai American goods are not good
enough for their wear
Duty. Tax
l watch. .2j p c. IS
About every one in this country, ex-
Cept the people who write the free trade
chatter of the Anglomaniac papers,
knows that the watch-makers of the
United States can compete successfully
in any market and that watches are ~
cheap and probably cheaper here than
in any other country. a few weeks ago
Jeremiah Head, of Mddlcsborough,
England, read a paper, after Il visit TO
this country, in which he said in regard
TO Watches
"lf you think | eXaggcrate, let me ask
you TO compare the manufacture of
watches, as IL existed in England twenty
years ago with the same as il exists in
Waltham TO day. All materials, labor,
prestige and experience were in our
favor and we ought TO have retained the
trade. Nevertheless, English consumers
are to-day buying American waite hes in
large quantities, and better ones for tho
money, than can be made here"
The American Anglomaniac editor
never comes across such complimentary
statements rs the above, or, if -, doea
he never publishes them; yet he never
fails to aSSail an American industry
which comes in competition with one In
