Both Honest.

Saturday Evening Post
During the Civil War, Miss N, a
high spirited Virginian young lady,
whose father, a Confederate soldier, had
been taken prisoner by the Union forces,
was desirous of obtaining pass which
would enable her to visit him. Mr..
Francis 2. Blair agreed to secure an au-
dience with President Lincoln, but
warned his young and rather impulSive
friend to be prudent. and not betray her
her sympathy for the South.
They were ushered into the presence
OF Mr. Lincoln. and the object for which
they had come was stated. The tall,
grave man bent down to the little maid
en-, and looking searchingly into her
face, said:
"You are loyal, of course"
Her bright eyes flashed. She hesitat-
ed moment, and then, with face elo-
quent with emotion and honest as his
own, she replied, "Yes, loyal to the
hearts core-to Virginia"
Mr.. Lincoln kept his intent gaze upon
her for moment longer, and went to
his desk, wrote line or two, and hand
ed her the paper. With a bow the in
terview terminated.
When they had left the room, Mr..
Blair began to upbraid his young friend
for her impetuosity. "Now you have
done it!'' he said. Didn't l warn you
to be very careful? You have only
yourself to blame"
Miss N made no reply, but opened
the paper. 1t contained these words
PASS Miss N. She is an honest girl
and can be trusted.--A. Lincoln"

HOW THEY DID IT.

Ohio State journal
Representative Holman makes out
that the present Congress appropriated
few million of dollars less than the
last; Representative Henderson shows
that it appropriated a few millions more.
1t makes no matter which of these
gentlemen is strictly correct. Whether
there is an excess or a deficiency, the
difference in the total amount is trifiing.
The great fact stands prominently out
that the present Congress, elected
specially upon the cry of economy, re-
trenchment and REFORM" has neither
reformed, retrenched or economical, but
by the showing of its most expert de-
tenders and apologists is spending about
as much money as and perhaps more
than its predecessor. Such is always
the outcome of Democratic promises of
economy, retrenchment and reform.

A Strange Incident.

New York Ledger.
A strange incident is recorded in the
life of Frederick Douglass, the colored
orator. He has recently secured clerk
ship in department at Washington for
the daughter of his old master in the
days of slavery. She was brought up in
luxury, but has experienced may hard
ships, and was glad to accept the assist
ance of man who was once sold on the
block by her fathers command.

DEMOCRATIC ARGUMENTS.

Farmers Tribune.
Democratic arguments on the McKin-
lev bill seem to fall with dull thud one
after another. The cry over the Home
stead affair resulted in bringing out the
fact that wages of protection at Home
stead are from So to $15 per day. The
Occur d'Alene affair brought out the
fact that the most bloody labor troubles
of years is in an industry whose product
is on the free list. Now they have dis
covered the anthracite coal trust, the
awful coal tax, and the hardships of the
anthracite coal workers. But, alas, an
thracite coal is on the free list. Try
again.

THE wicked New York World is rain
bow chasing again. 1t thinks the De-

alton of Stevenson makes that impossi-
BILE. The niggardly policy of the Dem

preparation for the Worlds Columbian
Exposition, and throwing the money to
it as bone to dog, will keep Illinois
solidly in the Republican line.

IF the Democrats could only retain
control of the House for three years
more they would soon make it cost $780,
100000 a year to run the government.
That would require the raising of at

Suppose direct taxation were substituted
for tariff duties as the Democrats pur-
pose, then SO would have to be paid
for every man, woman and child in the
country.

Now what are the facts here? Simply
this: Under protective tariff the en-
ployes in these three important indus
tries are receiving about 500, 10000 per
annum more wages than in 1880. But,
says the free trader: "There are more
persons employed" That is true. In
1880 three industries employed 365, ,438
persons, and in 1890 they employed
4SS, ,S04 persons. Thus we see that in
the decade the protective policy which
the Democratic platform pronounces "a
fraud and robbery has given employ
ment, in only three industries, to 1886
additional employees.
Turning again to the wage table, the
results are still more satisfactory. Not
only have wages increased actually, but
relatively. That is, the $162,000,000
received in 1890 was 23.11 per cent.
more wages per capita than the $685.
100000 received in 1880. The percent
age of increase in annual wages per
capita has been 1926 per cent. in the
wooden industry, 23.80 per cent. in the
cotton industry, and 32.49 per cent. in
the silk industry. These are facts that
can not be controverted. The census
figures may be trif1e under the truth;
they can not well be more, because the
authorities at Washington have sworn
schedule on file for every establishment
returned.
1t will be urged that this great in
crease is in part due to the manufacture
of higher grade of goods, and hence
more skilled labor is employed. 1t may
be urged that the branch of work has
been conducted with much more care
and thoroughness by the eleventh census
than it was by the tenth.
The Press is willing to admit both
these explanations of this great increase
in wages. The whole increase, however.
can not thus be explained away. 1t is
safe to assume that any man, woman,
or youth employed in the great textile
industries of this country is carrying
home nearly 20 per cent. more wages at
the present time than in 1880. That is
a fact the free traders can not get away
from no matter how much they may
squirm. And it is just such facts as
this that will count in the campaign
now being waged against free trade and
low wages. 1t is not what might have
been under free trade but what is under
protection. A fact like this per day
until election will elect President Har-
rison and insure another decade of pro-
lection and prosperity.

worst, most odious aud contemplate
feature of Cleveland's conduct in this
respect was his practice of casting sneer
and insult at the unfortunates to whom
he denied relief. As President it was
his right to veto pension bill, or any
other bill. if he saw fit. But the pos
session of that power did net justify
him in casting sneers and throwing
offensive reflections at the poor widows
of brave men who went to the front
while he skulked in the rear.
1t is natural that Cleveland should
dislike the pensioners, recalling, as they
do, their own part, or the part of those
upon whom they depended, in the
struggle for the nations life. 1t is
natural that one who evaded service in
the war should regard with jealousy and
animosity those who did their duty in the
war. But that is no sound reason why
a President of the United States should
have given the soldiers widows ridicule
and contumely when they asked for
bread.

INDUSTRIAL PEACE AT PITTSBURGH.

INDUSTRIAL PEACE AT P1TTSBU RGH-
New York Press
The signing of the Amalgamated
Associations scale by the Pittsburgh
manufacturers seem to have been
brought about by that spirit of regard
for the rights of others which the Press
has inculcated steadily through the
dispute Both sides have made some
concessions, but this was itself victory
over the foolish kind of pride that re-
fuses to change ones mind or to recog-
nize the rights of other people. The
compromise, whatever its details, is a
good thing for the common interest of
labor and capital. About 10000 unem-
ployed men will resurn to work, which
means that over 100000 people will
again receive steady support, and the
resumption of operations by these mills
will enable the iron and steel trade to
get its bearings and go in for large
fall business.
