Reciprocity their Hope.
The La Crosse Chronicle.

The Boston Herald ably discusses
the present peculiar phase of Repub-
lican politics and carefully inquiries
why Mr.. Harrison is unpopular with
his party. 1t says correctly that he
has not been criticized by his own
party for his policy or his administrat-
ion, and that the minor complaints of
disappointed office seekers and the like
are no worse than every president I'M
counters. The Herald therefore con-
cludes that the trouble with Mr.. Har-
rison is that he is too faithful to the
protection doctrine on which he was
elected. That while he has consistent
~ lived up to the professions Of the
platform on which he was nominated,
the results of the Mckinley bill and
the elections of 1890 and 1891 have
alarmed his party, and they want to
crawl under the reciprocity" tent in
the hope they may keep out of the wet
this fall. This looks like a plausible
theory for the anti Harrison feeling.
The party fears its own doctrine.

A Misleading Statement.

According to the free trade ''World
Almanac the savings banks deposits
of Great Britain amount to 1886, oOO,-
600, while those of New York State
alone amount to $3.50. 900, 900, and the
whole United States to 81 ,524, s44, SOC.
This ''steer'' is vile one. The
''World Almanac" shows that while
Great Britain had in 1891 a population
of 33,034, 121 the savings banks deposits
amounted to $3.50, ooO,o an average
of SIG per head, while in forty out Of
the forty-four States of the Union a
population of SO, 431, o66 had but S433,-
239, 1872 deposited in savings banks, an
average of SIS per head, or one-half that
of Great Britain. The total number of
depositors in Great Britain was 3,715,-
900, or one In nine; in the United
States only 4,25s, e23. or one in fifteen.

When the campaign warns up high
tax orators may be expected to tell the
people that corn has been as high as a
dollar bushel since the passage of the
Mckinley bill. That was the price for
q few minutes on May 81 in Chicago
before the corner broke, but the farm
ers did not realize anything out Of it.
The fiction will be worth just as much
as others about the Mckinley tariff be-
ing for the benefit of farmers.-The
Milwaukee Journal.
When the campaign warns thu high
tax orators will be SO busily engaged in
relating their economic and political
romances that it is hardly probable
that they will find time to refer to any
thing having so solid foundation in
facts as market quotation.

WANT FAIR TRADE.
America Should Encourage Imports as
Well Exports.


Well as Exports.
Our exports keep on growing under
this 'strangling' Mckinley tariff. In
the first two months of 1891 they
amounted to S167, SOC, 3OS. In the first
two months of 1892 they rose to $751;
TT, 433.-New York Press.
Our exports are what we pay to for
eigners for the work they do for us or
invest abroad. Our imports are what
foreigners pay us for the work we do
for them. If we should show our in
dependence by refusing the foreign
wages, by refusing to work for foreign
ers, the Press wishes it's readers to be-
lieve we should act wisely. And it
wants them to believe also that we
should add to our wisdom by shipping
all our wealth to foreign countries for
investment in foreign industries. To
export more wealth than we import, it
tells them, is to make the union
rich = and to export ali its
wealth and import nothing, is to have
us absorb all the wealth of the world,
when our country has been completely
stripped, even of it's trees. However
nonsensical this may sound, this is the
doctrine preached not only by the
Press, but by President Harri son, by
every Republican Senator and Repre-
sentative, and by every leader in the
Republican party, while over 5000, DOC
Republican voters-victims of the
balance of Trade" bunco-win stake
their life on its being true. That is
the kind of man a Republican voter
is-one who never uses his intellect
and believes what his party boss
tells him to believe.

The editor of The Sioux Valley
News, published at Correctionville,
Iowa, sees in the great floods source
Of profit after the manner Of Mckinley
tariff taxation. He says:
Though it is true that this has been
an expectionally discourageing spring.
1t will prove good year to the farm
ers in this part of Iowa. The bad
weather has already made thousands
of dollars for the farmers of this coun-
try by advancing the price Of corn.
There are tens of thousands of bushels
that will be sold one half higher than
it would have been.

A Fair Argument.

Our manufactures amount to So, 600,
0OG, 900, while those of Great Britain
amount to only $4,25o, 600. 900, or about
half as much. Why exchange the
American system for the English?
This ''steer" makes no distinction be-
tween our protected and our unpro-
tected manufactures, and conceals the
fact that our population is double. 1t
credits to protection and manufactures
our blacksmithing, carpentering, coffee
grinding, coopering, Touring and grist
mills, gas, ice, lard, leather, lime, liq-
uor, oil, petroleum, publishing, meat
packing, turpentine, vinegar, and a
hundred others, making over one-half,
that no man ever imagined could be
protected or that any idiot could be
induced to believe ever received any
benefit from protection.

When high takers declare that the
Mckinley law does not raise or keep
up the prices of articles of necessity,
it is well to remember that a few years
ago, when sugar sold at six or seven
pounds for a dollar, they were dead
sure that to repeal the import duties
thereon would not materially reduce
the price of sugar to the consumer.

Had Him There!

An aged negress, whose eminent
piety had secured her an extensive
reputation, in making her usual
rounds of visits, dropped in upon a
neighbor, who was equally well
known as temperance man and a
hater of tobacco too.
After being couteously received,
the negress pulled from her pocket
a long pipe, and commenced smok-
ing some strong tobacco, to the in
finite disgust of her host. The
man maintained his composure for
several minutes; but the fumes and
smoke soon became too powerful
for him, and, rising from his chair,
he said:
"Aunt Cloe, do you think you are
a Christian?"
"Y es, brudder, | 'spects is"
"Do you believe in the Bible,
aunty?"
"Yes, brudder.'
''Do you know there is passage
which says nothing unclean shall
inherit the kingdom?"
"Yes, I've heard of it"
"Do you believe it,"
"Yes."
"Well, Cloe, you smoke, and you
cannot go to heaven, because there
is nothing so unclean as the breath
of a smoker. What do you say to
that?"
"Why, spects to leave my breath
behind me when | die!'.-Ex.

distinctly remember seeing one of
my friends dress for an evening
party, and putting on one after
another six starched and ruffled
petticoats and the corded skirt be-
sides. An underskirt was frequent
ly worn in addition to these.
LAS another point in the fashion
of women of fifty years ago, can
say that at that date neither | nor
any of the women of my family
owned such a thing as u pair of
heavy summer shoes. Prunella
CATERS were the thing, and these
had soles as soft as pasteboard, and
no heels of any sort. To wear heels
and make a noise was considered
shockingly vulgar, and a thing no
lady would be guilty of. Wet feet
were regular thing, and really
caused very little comment. For
winter wear and snow there were
calf-skin shoes, but no rubbers.
"Of course, there are many dis
eases at present which were much
less known at that date, but the
question frequently arises i'll my
mind whether the diseases were not
more nearly the same than the
names. Certainly the present con-
ditions of the dress of women, with
their comfortable, short skirts,
light and warm underwear, eman-
cipation waists and tennis, boating
and pedestrian development of bone
and muscle, seem to me far more
favorable to their health and we'll
being than the old-time conditions" "

A FAMOUS WOMAN.
Her Discovery of Comet Made Her Great

Her Discovery of a Comet Made Her Great
Reputation.
Under the gabled, high-peaked roofs
of a German street quaint little girl
trotted to school. / always fancied 1
could see her with her short, coarse
dress of blue, with waist that was up
to her arms. Her stout little legs were
encased in thick woolen stockings, and
her wooden shoes clattered on the stone
flags of the hall and kitchen. She
swept the kitchen and hall with a
broom as big as herself-a broom not
like ours, but made of twigs, such as
one still sees in Germany.
She had big brother, a tall, fair lad,
with passion for acquiring knowledge
of many kinds. Under her high waist
beat an earnest, loving little heart, and
she carried under her quilted hood a
clear and intelligent brain. She learn
ed quite rapidly all the lessons given to
her; and in music, which was the pro-
fession of the family, she excelled.
Chance called her dearly-loved brother
to England. She followed him there.
She found him deep in nightly study Of
these studies; and soon for her, too,
there opened up the fascination of that
most glorious of all sciences that re-
veals to us the very power OF the Om.
nipotent in space.
With the ready self-sacriice of true
affection, to give him time for his OBJ
servations she took on her young shoul-
ders the burden of their support. She
taught vocal and instrumental music;
she sang at concerts; she played at en-
tertainments. Then in the silence of
the night, she sat with him, noting
down what he saw and helping him in
his efforts at original research.
There were no Alvan Clarkes in those
days, and this young German musician
had to invent and manufacture his own
glasses. He gave her one, and with it
she nightly swept the armament She
discovered comet and announced it.
The news spread like lightning. A
woman had discovered a comet! A
woman was a great astronomer! She
discovered seven comets, and received
the gold medal Her name was entered
on all the royal societies of Europe.
Kings and princes came to the observa-
tory to see the famous mother and sis
ter-but chiefly the sister.
The work of this one hum ble-minded
woman, who always declared she was
insignificant in comparison to her
brother, did more to dispel mans preju-
dice against education for our sex than
millions of equally unselfish lives that
had been passed in ministering to his
daily comforts for centuries Her name
still stands proudly honored, and no
astronomer belittles the work of Car

an's.-Agnes NJ. Manning, in House
