Whoever wants soft
hands, smooth hands, white
bands, or a clear complex
ion, he and she can have
both; that is, if the skin is
naturally transparent; I'M
less occupation prevents.
The color you want to
avoid comes probably nei-
Their of nature or work, but
of habit.
Either you do not wash
eNectually, or you wash too
effectually; you do not get
the skin open and clean, or
you hurt it.
Remedy.-Use Pears
Soap, no matter how much:
but a little is enough if you
use it often.
All sorts of stores sell it, especially
druggists; all sorts of people use it.

complete restoration to health and vi

the miraculous, are many of the wonder

within the requirements of sick and suf-

VERMONT MONEY.

Notwithstanding the growth of the
Farmers Alliance sentiment in Kansas,
Nebraska, South Dakota and other So
called granger states west of the Mlssls'
sippi, it does not appear that eastern IN
vesUments in western farm mortgages
have been materially diminished. The
explanation undoubtedly is the eXtraor-
binary interest rates which such obllga-
tons pay when compared with ordinary
investments in this part of the country
While few statistics are available IN thlS
matter the report of the inspector OF IL
nance of the State of Vermont Tor the
past year fairly represents the actual ten
denotes and inclinatiOns of eastern Invest
ors. The inspector reports that the total
amount of money loaned on mortgages on
real estate outside of the state limits is
over $4,000, 900, or an increase OF nearly
81 900, 600 for the year. How this tend
ency among Vermonters to seek western
mortgages as investments for their sur
plus savings has constantly extended is
shown in his comparative figures which
beginning with s1.278,399 in 1870, in
creased to $0,OO7,7 1872 in 1892. The in
crease from 1891 to 1892 was $94l POP for
the year. The increase was larger than
that of any previous year, 1882 alone eX-
copied, when the gain was S94S, 1871 AS
| the VermOnter is, perhaps, as shrewd an
! investor as the Yankee section of the
United States can boast of, the many in
vestors in western farm mortgages in this
section of New York may summon up
the hope that after all their moneyiS not
unwisely placed While the states 'out-
side of Vermont where the Green Noun
tain money has gone are not specified
they undoubtedly are the granger com
monwealths of the trans Mississippi re-
gion. -Alb1ny Journal.

THE TYRANNY OF LABOR oRGANIZA
TONS

Since the failure OF the strike at Home
stead, Pa, great deal of sympathy has
found expression in the public press for
those of the strikers who have been I'M
able to obtain employment at the Car
negie mills, because the places they for
merly held have been filed by non Union
men, or because they were known to have
been guilty of, or connected with, some
of the outrages upon those who were will
ling and anxious to work.
Doubtless some of this sympathy is
well deserved, and especially when it is
bestowed upon the wives and children of
the wOrkmen. But many of the strikers
are not in the least entitled to sympathy
or pity. They not only refused to work
themselves, but assumed to determine
the rights of others.
Whatever may have been the primary
canse of the strike, or whatever justice
there may have been in the demands of
the strikers at the commencement of the
trouble, they forfeited all claim to sym
pathy or support the moment they dis
puted the equal claim of their fellow
Workmen.
The tyranny and cruelty of labor
unions has found striking illustration
in recent occurrence in New York city.

mr. spnINGnR,s FnRECAsr.

Chairman Springer of the Ways and
Means Committee gives the most definite,
as il is also the most authoritative, fore
cast of Democratic tariff legislation.
Answering the objection that 1T would he
inexpedient to pass the free trade meas
ures now pending in Congress because
public revenues will not suffer reduction,
he says: u
The passage of the Free Wool bill
would cut off about S6,000.O0O annually
in wool duties, but the reduction OF the
compensatory duties upon manufactured
wollens would largely increase importa-
tions. and consequently the revenues"
This means that the Democratic policy
will be SO to reduce duties that the III
creased importations will make good the
loss in revenue caused by additions to the
free list. That it is policy of disaster
to American industry can be demonstrat-
ed with mathematical accuracy.
Take the Free Wool bill alone. In 1891
the duties ON raw wool furnished S6,5OO,
900 revenue. That would be cut oil by
the proposed measure. 1t reduces the
duties on wooden goods to an average OF
about 80 per cent, which means aa al
ditiOnal loss to the revenues, on the I'M
portationS of 1891 as basis, OF Sl9,0OO,
900. If importations should remain the
same as in 1891, the total loss OF revenue
would be S26,00O,0O0. This is the sum
which Mr.. Springer says would be made
good by increased importations OF WOOL
en- goods.
1t would require the importation of for
eign wool manufactures to the value OF
ST. OOO, 900 in addition to the $43,0OO,OOU
imported in 1891, or $4,000, 900 in the
ocrranafo N do this
On the assumption that impOrtations
of raw woods remained the same, this
would mean total importation of for
eign wool in all forms equivalent to 464,
OOO. 900 pounds of raw wool. The tota
consumption of the Uniten States a.
mounts to about 600,000,0O0 pounds.
The difference between this and the tota
imports of wool would represent the ut
most demand for American wool under
Mr.. Springers bill. American WOO
growers could find market for only
about 10000, 900 pounds of wool. But
they raise annually more than 800, OOO,OOC
pounds They would therefore have up
ward of 1877, 100000 pounds of produce
left on their hands with no market for 1T
and would be obliged to reduce theli
production by that amount, an annua
loss to them of $50, 900, 900 at least. Be
sides the farmers loss the 81, 100000 in
crease in imports of wool manufacture
would throw 10000 wool workers out o
employment, direct annual loss to then
of from S25,000,000 to S3O,OOO,OOO II
wages. This is the prospect which Dem
ocracy offers the American workingmal

speaking of good rifle shots, said
John Hawkings, at the Lindell, II wore
the gray at Antietam in 1862, and the
prettiest shooting | ever saw on that day.
There was a tall tree on the banks of the
Autietam, and an, old Marylander's cot
tage was situated just at its foot. The
old man was away, and had left l4-yearr
old boy to take care of the family. This
boy had managed to climb up into the
forks of this tree, and had probably been
at work on his scheme, severals days be-
fore the armies came up, for when they
got on the ground he had intrenched
himself up in the forks of the tree with
feather beds, pillows and holsters, ap..
parently four or five deep, all around
him. He had prepared for siege, too,
with both ammunition and food. When
the Union Army came within range his
old squirrel rifle picked off more subor-
dinate officers in a few hours than the
army had lost before in weeks. No
amount of counter-firing did any good.
He would get his old blunderbuss re-
loaded, aud with close scrutiny you
could see its long barrel creep out over
his improvised rampant, and as sure as
the crack of the rifle came moan and
dead Lieutenant or other officer would
follow. The Antietam, at the point
where the battle was fought, is narrow,
but it is very deep, and there seemed
really no way to dislodge the fearful de-
structive enemy, so the Union Army
actually withdrew till the artillery could
run up gun and train it on the spot.
And will you believe me, the young
sharpshooter actually killed two of the
gunners and wounded a third, and al
most produced a panic before he was
disloged. He was literally blown to
pieces at last, but not till after he had
created considerations in the ranks OF
the Union Army."-St. Louis Globe

THE BOURBoNs AND THE PENSION
ERS

The Globe of Durham, North Carolina,
undoubtedly expresses the sentiment of
the Southern BOurbons when it declares
that 1.-THE pensions now paid to the Un-
ion soldiers should be reduced at least
two-thirds," and adds that more than
one-half of the so called soldiers who are
draw .ng pensions to-day are thieves and
beggars who never saw battle, never
smelled real powder and never
served their country" The Globe goes
on to declare, in language which has been
unfamiliar since ante bellum days, that
"the miserable scum and bro'h of hell
should not be recompensed for the ruin
which they wrought"
All this is interesting. 1t must be es-
pecially interesting to any Union veteran
who was misled into voting for the Dem
ocratic nominees at the recent election,
and it should be of interest to all citizens
who look back with pride and gatitude to
the great and successful struggle for the
nations life. Such utterances give pain
full and OmiR0us evidence that the spirit
of dlsloyalty and hatred of the Union and
the Unions defenders is far from being
subdued in the South. 1t has been quies-
cent, while the Republicans were in par
tial or entire control of the govern nent;
but now that the Democrats are about to
return to the power from which they
were hurled in disgrace thirty-twO years
ago, the old hatred of the Northern
veterans breaks out among Southern
Bourbons as bitter as ever, not because
they are pensioners, but because they
were Union soldiers.
The evidence of what Democratic rule
means for the Nation is rapidly accumu-
lating. Not a month has yet passed
ans of the Union, and the cause for which
they fought, are being assaulted with a
bitterness that proves how little many
ex-COnfeGerates have learned and how
little they have forgotten,-N. Y. Press.
