HoMxsrEAD,s TARIFF LESSON.


&att Horse and HARD Tack Instead of
the Promised Roast Beef.
The most potent tariff lesson of the
year is Fort Frick, which Scotchman
Carnegie has built around his protected
steel works near Pittsburg to keep his
protected" working people from tearing
his temple of Mammon 10 pieces.
These are the working people whom
the tariff framed by Carnegie's friend
Mckinley was to make the lords of Gre
alton; whose pay was to be increased in
definitely; who We're to grow fat on
roast beef and plum pudding; who were
TO revel in luxury ON taxes forced by the
robber tariff from the farmer, merchant
and professional man.
The heyday of their opulence has been
postponed from time to time while they
have been faithfully adhering to the
party of monopoly and fraud and wait
ing with growing impatience for the
dawn of their millennium.
When the delusion can no longer be
kept mp, the Pennsylvania dupes of the
tariff brace game get rude though in
structive lesson in the economies of poll
tics. With his pockets lined with i'll
gotten gains Carnegie, like the charlatan
prophet of false creed, takes himself
far away from the scene of his knavery,
well out of earshot of his victims angry
curses.
Then, while he takes his ease In that
notable Scotch castle, his man Frick
calmly notifies the men at Carnegie's
Pennsylvania mills that this isn't the
year for roast beef and plum pudding;
that salt horse and hard tack are good
enough for hirelings, and in short that
they must accept wages reduced by 20
or 60 per cent. or tramp. If they object
at all bumptiously to doing the one or
the other they will be scalded with hot
water or shocked to death with the latest
electric devices.-St. Louis Republic.

The following anecdote is told by q
young Englishman, who says; 81 was

days after it was due. My twin brother

aged mother was very nervous.

gone several disappointmen because Of
the ships delay, rushed into her room.

long, and not my twin brother. Ben,

The King OF the Protected.

Andrew Carnegie has fallen into dis

whom he has always been held in high
regard, because he is forcing many thou

of wages. The cut down of the earn

by the firm of which Mr.. Carnegie is

THE PASSING YEAR.

BY the glimmer Of green and golden,
The leap and the sparkle of spray.
By the heart OF the rose unfolden
To the breath of the summer day,
BY the shout and song Of the reaperS
Binding the ripened sheaf,
By the bloom on the fragrant cluster,
By the fall OF the loosened leaf
BY the feathery whirl OF the winter
And the deep waves hollow sound,
By the moan Of the wind in the forest
When the night was gathering round,
BY the sweet OF the honey of lilies.
By the fields all brown and sere-
Through the march OF the changing seasons
We measured the passing year.
BY the brave things thought or spoken,
By the true deeds simply done,
By the mean things crushed and conquered
And the bloodless battles won!
BY the days when the load was heavy,
Yet the heart grew strong to bear;
BY the days when the heart was craven,
Lacking the strength OF prayer;
By the hour that crept slow-footed
And the hour that flew on wings.
The time when the harp was silent,
The time when we swept the strings;
By the dearth, the dole and the labor,
The fullness, reward ana cheer
By the book of the angels record
We measured the passing year.

on her. and she, Wanda, was in a posi-
tion to add her mite to the family funds.
But, if she should fail-pshaw. she must
not fail; she must endure any discom-
fort, any degradation rather than go
back to Glastonbury to be again q
charge on the widows bounty.
As for Damiens. with his rustic insol-
ence, she was foolish to waste a second
thought upon him and half regretted
that she had condescended to rebulle
his impertinence. But, then there was
poor blind George Arundel-that was a
different trouble. 1t was very well for
him to talk about being her adopted
brother, but she knew that his love for
her was of very different nature, and
she was sure that she could never re-
turn his affection in the way he wanted
it.
Then-ah, then-hoated before her
imagination face of typical beauty.
Big, earnest, brown eyes seemed to be
looking tenderly into hers, SO vivid
was the picture that she could in fancy
have raised her hand to push away the
short, clustering, brown curls which
extended over the clear white forehead.
She saw the pleasant smile on the we'll
curved ips-nay, she could almost be-
lieve that they moved and whispered
her name in tone of exquisite tender
ness. wanda" never sounded half so
sweetly as when he uttered it. But she
must not think of him-no, it would be
a crime of ingratitude to fetter him
with her dowerless love. She would be
brave. she would dismiss him forever
from her thoughts; and, saving this
she concentrated her whole soul on the
beautiful vision, till-the wearied eye
lids closed, and sleep drew the curtain
of oblivion over her wandering fancies.
And the brown-eyed hero of Wanda S
dreams was none other than Harry
Evesham, who, as Alphonse Damiens
had truly said, was gone to New York
to make his fortune"

Like an angry storm spending itself
in its own fury, his passion at last wore
itself out, and he fell into the more dan
gerous mood of planning future retalia-
ton.
Pshaw! What fool he had been to get
into such a rage. He would win in the
end. There were two ways of catching
this bird of beautiful plumage, and, if
one failed he could try the other. If
the silllen net of honied words was use
less, he knew how to cast the strong
bonds of obligation around her.
The DolmaDs' owed him money-they
must help him; Robson, her employer,
was in the same fix, he must do his bid
ding; and Mrs. Evesham would surely
not be blind to the glitter of his world
" prospects. As for that blind fellow
but no, a girl like Wanda could never
give her love to him-well, if he stood
in his way, it would be all the worse for
him.
And Wanda! She was feverishly toss
ing on the bed, the victim of a thousand
doubts and fears-the past with its
phantoms of uncertainty, the present
with its disappointments, the future. so
clouded with hopelessness that she
dreaded even to think of it. With Il

THE PASSING OF THE OLD YEAR,
The night is waning fast

The night is waning fast,
And the dying year lies cold and prone
Upon his royal couch OF ice and stone;
Tonight he breathes his last,
The darkest hour draws nigh.
And the old years sceprer and his crown,
With power, and life, he must lay down;
Must cease 10 reign, and die!
The world Is silent now!
Save the signing OF those who pray and weep
While the grand old monarch falls asleep;
Deaths hand upon his brow!
Hushd is all the earth.
AS the soul Of the old year homeward flies;
But bark, an advent bids the world arise
To hail a Princes birth.
Loud the music swellS.
And men Of earth no longer weep and mourn
A glad new year-a Royal Prince is born;
Peal forth! o joyful bells.
