LIFT your hat reverently when
you meet the teacher of a primary
school. She is the good angel of the
republic. She takes the bantling
fresh from the home nest and full of
pouts and passion-an ungovernable
little wretch whose own mother hon
estly admits she sends to school to
get rid of him. This lady, who
knows her business, takes car load
of these little anarchists, one Of
whom single handed and alone is
more than a match for his parents,
and at once puts them in the way of
being useful and upright citizens,
At what expense of patience, toll and
soul weariness. Hers is the most re-
sponsible position in the whole school
and if her salary were doubled she
would not receive more than she
earns.-Ex.

HoN. J. NJ. BRowN, OF Toledo, a
widely-known Ohio Republican,
talked last week regarding the out
look for business in that part of the
country, and pronounced it most
promising. "We had had a manu-
factory on a large scale of tinware
in Toledo for a number of years,
said Mr.. Brown, "the tariff on tn
plate has not interrupted the pros
porous progress of this enterprise
and since the passage of the McKin-
ley law, a new factory devoted to the
same line has been established in
this city"

'THE carefully prepared estimate
of the Secretary of the Interior
showed" says the Indianapolis Jour
nal, "that over s144, 100000 would
be needed during the next fiscal year
for pensions, but the Democratic
House reduced the amount nearly
s11, 100000. Either a lot of pen
sions will not be paid toward the
close Of the next fiscal year or a de-
ficiency will be created to be provid-
ed for during the next session after
the Presidential election. This is
the Holman craftsmanship"

INTELLIGENT capital favors pro-
lection because protection maintains
high standard of wages, and so
gives more employment and profit to
capital. The workingman who earns
and spends two dollars day is much
more valuable to capital than the la
borer who starves upon fifty cents a
day.

CAPITAL in this country is now

DEpRECIATED dollars are thieves
and robbers that prey first and most
cruelty upon the wages of toiling
and helpless labor. The vote of the
laboring man should always be
counted against even the shadow of

The fact that the working people,
farmers of England, keep coming to
the United States to find homes, de-
spite the report to Parliament that
"there are now twenty-five million
acres of productive land lying idle
in England" tells its own story. 1t
is the story of the people leaving
their own country because it IS ruled
by Free Trade and coming to the
United States, ruled by Protection,
in order to make a living for them
selves and their families. Every
workingman in America ought to
understand what it means.

IMPORTED cheap labor is less dan
gerous and injurious to our home
labor than imported cheap labor
products, but both must be held in
check by governmental protection in
the form of immigration laws and
Mckinley laws, or our labor will be
overwhelmed and degraded.

would be a godsend to the exhausted
Frenchman, and prepare him for the

When Campignon heard what had oc-
cured his eyes flashed with Joy. I'VE
arc saved!' he said. But first let me
give you some idea of the geography of
the place. Where we left the little
lake the river goes north for nearly
fifty miles, and then turns again in a
southcrly direction; so, by crossing
along the land path we really travelled
over the base of triangle, and we are
now about five miles from its bank,
where the village is situated. Thence
it bends and it's course lies in a north
easterly direction, right into the heart
of the civilized region Of the coffee
plantations. Do you not see?"
''Yes; but how on earth are we to
reach this haven of safety?''

-Campignon!-
"Dunbarr'
Both men spoke simultaneously.
Yes, it was indeed Canpignon, though
Arthur might have been excused from
recognizing him in his present state of
squalor, his only costume a straw hat
and 4 sleeveless tunic. There was
hardly spot on his body that was not
discolored from blow or a scratch of a
thorn, but his eyes blazed with a fierce
ness which showed the fury that was
raging in his breast There was some
thing tragic in his manner as be said,
pointing to his weals and cuts:
THAT fiend, Archer, shall pay dearly
for this.''
"Archer,"

Arthur glanced at the barcnet. He
had relapsed into his former air of Ian
guild Indifference, not even looking at
the strange scene being enacted in his
presence.
Dunbar was always quick in action.

looking for you"
In the retirement of the room which
Arthur occupied, which was By good
chance at the very back of the long,
low bungalow, separated from the main
body OF the building by passage, the
exhausted man briefly told his adven-
lures.
