dreds of factories is threatened. Reel
| procity is denounced as sham in spite
of its success in alarming our rivals at
the growth of our foreign trade. The
old Democratic sheer that our articles of
export "are almost exclusively agri-
cultural" is Jrotted out Notwithstanding
the figures of the Bureau of Statistics,
which show that just 70 per cent. of
them are agricultural; that our exports
of manufactures have grown from S46,-
600, 1000 to $160,000,000 year; and that
our trade with countries that have made
reciprocity treaties with us have in
creased IS per cent, in little over one
year.
The equal power of any dollar at all
times in the market and in the payment
of debts' is called for in the same
breath with demand for the repeal of
the 10 per cent. tax on State bank notes,
which as every schoolboy knows, were
of widely fluctuating variety of value.
The silver plank would be an amusing
marvel if it were not something to blush
for. Free coinage, an intrinsic equality
of value and an International ratio of
gold and silver are all demanded, appar-
emily with view to giving everybody
everything and telling them afterward

almost nothing financial-except the
safest paper currency ever issued, ma
tional banl1notes-which the Chicago
financial plank has allowed to get away
undemanded.
The task of pointing out all the impu-
dent assertions in which the facts do
not sustain the platform, and in which.
therefore, the platform assumes that its
readers are ignorant of the facts, is far
too massive to be accomplished by one
newspaper in one day. One more exam
pie will serve to represent its character.
The following sentences are evidently
meant for some Democratic citizens who
swore on the 4th of March, 1889, never
to read another newspaper till another
Democratic President should be elected:
"The Democratic party is the only
party that has ever given the country a
foreign policy consistent and vigorous.
compelling respect abroad and inspiring
confidence at home. We favor
the maintenance of anavy strong enough
for all purposes of national defence and
to properly maintain the honor and dig
nifty of the country abroad"
A visitor from another planet alight-
ing here to-day for the first time would
think from the above claims that Presi-
dent Harrison's foreign policy was the
work of the Democratic party, whose
organs have persistently denounced it
as a vote catching buncombe, while en-
lightened citizens of all the> civilized
world were praising it. But if the
visitor read that sentence of protested
friendship of the navy, and then looked
up the navy starvation policy of the
Democratic party in the Fifty-second
Congress, he would quickly return to the
other planet, for fear the swift doom of
Sodom would catch him when it fell on
the falsifiers of this.-N. Y. Press,

PROGRESSIVE HAMMoCK1NG.

The young people in one of st. Louis's
prettiest suburbs are in state of fever
ish excitement over new game that has
been devised by some of their number.
1t is called progressive hammocking,
and is so full of golden opportunities in a
sentimental way that it is destined to
pecome very popular with the youth of
both sexes.
A bright young girl, to whom, with
several others, is due the credit of having
given this new diversion to the world,
thus describes it:
"You see each girl is provided with a
hammock, in which she reclines grace
fully or ungracefully, according to the
extent of her experience in hammock
ing, during the game. The hammocks
are hung far enough apart so that no
one can see or hear her neighbors, and
above each is suspended Chinese Ian
tern with number on it; but these, of
course, will be blown out early in the
proceedings. A chaperon is required
preferably two-a lady and gentleman.
To start the game the boys draw num-
bers from hat, and then each hunts up
the hammock which corresponds to
number drawn. At given signal he
begins to tell the girl in it love story.
By the rules the stories must be imper-
sonal.
But of course they won't be. That"
she added with laugh, sis a matter
that lies with the story teller and his
conscience. Well, at the end of fifteen
minutes the chaperon beats a tom-tom
and the boys move up one hammock,
and each tells another story to a new
listener. The stories, mind you, must
all be different-that is, one cannot tell
the same story to two girls.
"And they must all be love stories?'
asked the reporter.
Ger ainly. Oh, its more fun. The
boys out there are securing the town for
short love stories. De Maupassant is in
great demand. But some of them draw
on their own experience for material.
Well, when the rounds have been made,
| and each of the six, say, has told six
| amorous tales to six tender maidens a
secret ballot is taken, the girls voting
for the best story teller and the boys for
the best listener. That's where the real
funny part comes in, for, of course, each
| girl will vote for the man she likes the
best, and uice versa; hence, the chaperon
will become the sacred repository of one
half dozen true love tales"
what about the prizes?"
There will be six first prizes on each
side, and no boobies" and the fair
schemer laughad heartily at the success
of her efforts to devise something new
and startling in the way of summer
| amusement.-St Louis Globe-Democrdt

THE ORIGIN OF VISITING CARDS.

If one may believe all one reads, visit
ing cards are of Chinese origin. The
story goes that as long ago as the period
of the Tong dynasty (61S 90D, they were
in common use in China, and that
is also the date of the introduction of
the ''red silken cords which figure so
conspicuously on the engagement cards
of that country. From very ancient
times to the present day the Chinese
have observed the s5rictest ceremony
with regard to the paying of visits. The
cards which are used for this purpose
are very large and usually of bright red
color. When a Cinnamon desires to
marry, his parents intimate the fact to a
professional matchmaker" who there
upon runs through the list of her visit
ing acquaintance, and selects one whom
she considers a fitting bride for the
young man, and then she calls upon the
young woman's parents, armed with the
bridegroom's card on which are in
scribed his ancestral name, and the
eight symbols which denote the day of
his birth. If the answer is an accept
ance of his suit the brides card is sent
in return, ana should the oracles proph-
ecy good concering the union the par
ticulars of the engagement are written
on two large cards tied together with
red cords.

IGNORANCE OR aYPoCR1sYg BOTH.

Never, perhaps, did a Democratic
platform more thoroughly combine the
cheap gush of demagogue, the petu-
lance of scolding fishwife and the
puerile rhetoric of schoolboy than does
the platform adopted at Chicago. Its
epithets are the superlatiyes of rage.
its denials are the blindness of the os-
trich's head in the sand, to facts. Its
professions assume an ignorance on the
part of its readers, which its ugly stab
at compulsory education shows its de-
sire to perpetuate. 1t is hard to imagine
that Democratic politicians could be so
ignorant of the recent history of this
country as the writers of this platform
must have been if they were not brazen-
ly mendacious hypocrites.
The repeal of the Mckinley law is de-
manded with such lurid expressions as
enormous impositions," crushing
force" and grossly unjust" and a de-
NAL that there has been any increase in
the prosperity of the country since it's
enactment. OF course, the cheap and
familiar platitudes about the taxation
of the many for the mere advantage of
the few" are reasserted, but without
proof, necessarily, since there is no
proof and great deal of disproof. Such
ldCJS dS Inc testimony OF OemOcrdJlC
immigration official before a Congress
sional committee, on April 9th, 1890,
''that emigrants bring less baggage than
formerly, since they have found that
clothing and household utensils are
as cheap here as in the old countries, I"
60 for nothing when crocodile tears of
sympathy are to be shed for Tariff
taxed farmers and workingmen. Such
truths as the fact that So out of a posi-
BILE E6 leading articles in common use,
and necessaries of life, were cheaper one
year after the Mckinley law was passed
than they had been before, are, of course,
ignored Such facts as the enormous
enlargement of the free list by the addi-
ton of articles that we do not produce;
the reduction of the average per cent. of
dd rdLorem duties on imports from 800
per cent. to 21.50 per cent, and the in
crease of our domestic imports from
$842, 000, 900 in the fiscal year before the
Mckinley law to total exceeding ST.
000,0O0,000 for the fiscal year ending
next Wednesday are simply scorned,
while legislation that would close hun
