CHRONICLES OF 1892.
BY JULIAN WERE.

Chapter III = Honey Grorer - Broton.
1. And it came to pass that bogus
Honey was thrown upon the Newport
political market. Aud il was marked
very high In the voting booths by politi-
cal hacks, though not by the voters or
wardens. Howbeit, the high quotations
of several votes above par stood not the
test of investig cations; for, lo, after being
thus rated IL was berated as deleterious
drug upon the market.
2. And the would-be member Of the
General Assembly found himself in the
position of the husband who before mar
riage was addressed by his sweetheart as
passed the wife called him Old Beeswax.
3. Aud after Honey boasted that be
had waxed the Republicans, 1t turned
out that the q. .. p. rooster had picked
lis comb and found it filled with wax.
So was he badly waxed. Moreover, when
did see things differently; and as he did
flee a flea was located In his ear ere he
reached the home market Now, behold,
he belongeth not TO the Home Market
Club, but he could have dubbed several
members with right good will, all as a
matter of taste as to their love for Honey.
4. Now aforetime the RHODE ISLAND
Democrats had boasted Of the great and
mighty acts they would perform as soon
as the spring should open aud they could
conveniently get thawed out.
5. And the Bosses went prowling
around like roaring lions, seeking whom
they might eat up somebody.
o. And they sent fo~ the Stuffed
Prophet, saying come to PROVIDENCE; for
providentially ye may provide us a great
victory, and lead us beside the quiet
streams and verdant lawns of the honors
and emoluments of office because our
love of Office surpasseth the love of
women.
I. And as Grover came and drew nigh
to the land of Roger Williams the earth
shook with avoirdupois. Aud the Bosses
exclaimed in the Hebrew tongue, We've
got 'em, which by Interpretation signi-
fieth, The Repubs. are whipped out of
their boots.
8. But when the Stuffed Prophet
opened his mouth there was no cali to
battle by any certain trumpet sound for
eschewing the vital questions of the day,
there came out platitudes, bombasts,
commonplaces, monotonles, set phrases,
glittering generalities and sich ltke, until
the hearers were begotten again unto a
lively hope of innocuous disuetude; and
the multitude departed each to his own
hired house, saying, Distance lends en-
chantment to the view. How timid Is
Grover; and his cyclopedia cannot save
us.
8. And in the opening spring the Re
pubs. did spriug upon the bosses and tore
off their lions skins and pulled their ears.
A splendid Ladd, who had been in the
van stepped aside, giving place to Brown,
who did things brown, staying the Phil
istines with great slaughter. Then Ca
prom wore the speakers cape and kept n
strict account Of the House by counting
all that were present. And the land had
rest.

ENGLISH AND COLONIAL RECI
PROCITY.

ENGLISH AND COLONIAL Reel
PROCITy.
Lord Salisbury's recent speech con-
demning free trade has twofold value.
Tt voices the sentiments of many thou
sands of English workingmen, and it
has set to thinking class of conserva-
tive business men who through the habit
of years have come to regard England's
fiscal policy as one without flaw. The
congress of the chambers Of commerce
from various parts of the British En-
pire last week discussed the question in
all its bearings. II was proposed to es
tablsh system of preferential duties
between Great Britain and her colonies
to the exclusion of other nations. Three
lays were spent in discussion. The
measure was arlently supported by Sir
Charles Tupper. He pointed out the
advantages which had come to Canada
from protection. He believed in foster
ing home talent and in the general prin
ciple of self preservation. But he was
beaten on the vote by majority of two
to one.
This il is true seems large. but its com
parative value is very great What
body of English business men would
have considered such proposal
FIVE years ago? How many would have
thought reciprocity worthy OF three
days earnest discussion? Yet such
things are happening that thought of
self preservation is teaching Englishmen
that a system Of trade between Grea,
Britain and her colonies is absolutely
necessary. They know what the Nc
KinIey tariff is doing and going to dc
for this country. They know that reci-
procity is going to enable MS g.
reach the markets of the World
They are becoming convinced tha;
their only hope is TO fight our
commercial advance by using our own
weapons against MS. They propose reci-
procity between England and her colo
nies. The proposition is only the
growth Of two or three months thought
nj il has already received the approval

THE PEOPLES PARTY IN WARWICK.

THE PEOPLES PARTY IN WARWICK.
1t is upon good authority that the
News states it to be the prevalent be-
lief that the Peoples Party will poll a
heavy vote in the town of Warwick this
fall.
1t will be remembered that the Peo-
Piles party cut something of figure,
and in many respects not one to be COM
mended, in the spring campaign in this
State. There is much more reason to
expect heavy vote this fall, drawing
its materials almost wholly from the
Democratic party.
We can understand and sympathize
with revolt from the Cleveland ranks,
officered and manned by workingmen
whose worst enemy he is, but we would
suggest, with all due respect, that it
would be a much more effective rebuke
for the Cleveland heresies if the Peoples
party and those who sympathize with
them, were to vote solidly for the Repub-
lican candidates and policy.
The Republican party is the real
Peoples party, whatever other organi-
zation may bear that name. It stands
for protection, for honest money and
for such development of internal water
ways as makes work plenty and national
growth rapid. Don't adopt halfway
measures.
