"Hereit isl said the man with crutches,
bringing out shrunken substance from
his pocket, IAN I'm free to say I had

Then a little man with squeaky voice
spoke up;
"If you he'd carried a horse chestnut
in your pocket, mister, stead Of a 'tater
you'd beea cured afore this"
Here's your chestnut" said the suf-
ferer, as he dug into his other pocket.

eipn-made garments which had never
been actually in use, and which were 80
imported solely because there exists 9
relative difference of at least 80 per cent
in values between the cost OF made-up
garments in the United States and Eu-
rope, which difference has been further
enhanced by certain other provisions,
under the tariff on wooden cloths OF the
act of October LIST, 1890, as aforesaid, thus
saving to the purchaser of garments
abroad more than one-haf of their actual
value upon arrival within the United
States duty free.
Every one who has bought clothing
abroad knows this to be true. And yet
the paidorators of protection of the Ros-
we'll G. Horn stamp, and dishonest Re-
publican newspapers, parade the low
prices of American shoddy and sweatshop
clothing as evidence that clothing is as
cheap here as in England.
Any man of common sense knows that
the duty Of 1917 cents a pound and 60 per
cent. of value levied on wooden clothing
by the abominable Mckinley tariff must
enhance it's cost. Our merchant tailors
admit that when returning tourist
brings home suit of clothing without
paying duty he "saves more than one
half Of its actual value"
Poor people, and even people in mod
crate circumsta lces-the great mass of
Acknowledgement go abroad for their
clothing. And they are compelled by
the Mckinley act either to wear shoddy
or to pay so per cent. more than it's value
! for honest wool and clothing.
This is only one of a thousand wrongs
and swindles which the Democratic party
| is bound to correct.

Irish Speakers.

Irishman, hereditary possessors of elo-
quence, sometimes discordantly termed
"the gift of gab," are vastly better speak
ers than Englishmen, writes Willie Wilde
in the New York Recorder. They never
chem" or halt, and when properly in
spired by the true spirit, rank high
among the kings of oratory. True, that
the rushing river of their own volubility
sometimes sweeps them off their legs,
and that they perpetrate the exquisite
''bull'-a thing of beauty, rarely ap-
praised at it's own unique value-but
what of that? The thought is there,
shining like an emerald, albeit the set
ting of the gem is not strictly syllogistic.
I was present in the reporters gallery
of the House of Commons one famous
fighting night, when famous fighting
Irish member rose to denounce speech
delivered from the treasury benches.
He desired to say that the statements
made by the governments representa-
tives we're not altogether accurate, but
impetuosity led him on to phrase the
Ananias accusation somewhat too con-
cisely.
"Order, ORDER said the speaker of the
House, as he rose in all the majesty of
full bottomed wig and silken gown.
Again and again did the dauntless son of
Erin return to his charge of wilful mis-
statement. Again was he called severely
to "order." It was q critical moment.
His Irish colleagues did not wish him to
be suspended" for the rest of the de-
bate, and they hunted so BY vigorously
tugging at his coat tails.

McKinleY,s Menace.

For the twelve months ending March
81, 1892, says the Louisville Courier
Journal, our exports have reached the
enormous total OF $1,005, 284,5 500. q
For the same period our imports have
amounted to $685., 058,585.
Here is a ''balance of trade in ou1
favor, to use the absurd language OF our
Republican contemporaries, of $685.
600.
Our great exports are due to large
crops at home and short crops abroad.
This combination of circumstances
rarely o;curs oftener than once IN ten
years, yet ir is the only thing that has
saved us from q national financial dis
aster.
With an excess of $163,OOO,0O0 of ex-
ports We answered Europe's demand on
us for food for which Europe has paid us
with our own securities.
Unfortunate investments in South
America have curtailed the financial re-
sources of the European centers and this
forced the return of American securities
to American markets.
This would have drawn from us gold
and silver in such quantities as to have
disturbed all business relations. In fact
the drain of gold to Europe began in 1890
and reached large proportions. Except
for our large crops, this drain would have
continued, but conditions changed, and
Europe was glad to take grain, which it
needed more than gold.
Instead of receiving gold for our grain
we have been paid the balance in ocean
freight, and in our securities, and the
expected return of gold did not take
place.
Manifestly soma gool fortune has
saved us from disaster. The enormous
exactions of the Mckinley law checked
imp ,rts of a vast number of manufac-
tured articles. moro valuable to us than
our. securities, but it put no duty on
securities, and SO our foreign friends
sent them.
A In odifcation of the Mckinley act is
imperative. 1t is a menace alike to com
merce' to agriculture and to manufacture
ing industry. 1t is tax on labor in the
field or factory. 1t obstructs the natural
channels of exch ange. 1t worries and
harnesses and impairs the very forces
working for the restoration of general
prosperity in America, and spreads I'M
certainty to every branch of commerce
The contest against the robber tariff
framed by Mckinley must be wageo
with greater zeal and determination than
the Democratic party ever waged war
against the tariff act of 1888, for it il
more injurious and more certain to bring
disaster.

THE LITTLE DREAMER.

A little brown head on the stairway,
A broken song and TOY,
A sweet lite voice and an angel
That fill the hall with JOY,
The wordless song on the child lip dies,
A shadow spreads over the face,
Till naught is left save the little brown hea
And the light of the angels head.
They tell me the child is dreaming!
All me, can the dream be true?
Has life with its double meaning
Already perplexed him too?
Has the dove, unskilled on it's airy wing,
Fled off where the castles be,
Or followed the beam of the mornings sun.
Afar DER the heaving sea?
A listless boy in a meadow,
In search of a swallows nest,
Forgets his toll when he meets the flowers
With their faces towards the West.
Where the bluebells Irvine with the violets
He rests and dreams away;
wonder when shall he overtake
The child of yesterday
A blithesome youth is coming
Adown the crowded street,
The pnblic pass unheeded,
And reckless fall his feet,
He has no thought for the tolling clock,
For the sun that glows above,
For his heart eloped with winged hope,
Perhaps with dream of love.
An old man sits by the doorway.
His chin on his aged cane,
The people pass as the silent clouds
And the children scream in vain;
He gazes now on the fairyland
Where the sunlight rivers flow,
And anon he lifts his eyes to his
The visions of long ago.
Where the matted grass is wet with dew
In the shade of willow tree,
The dreamer has rested from care to dream
For long eternity.
And oft as think Of him sleeping there
Ipray for him who would say:
"a dreamer lives forever but
A worker diesin day.

which was struck by passing Transat-

was dashed to pieces and her crew, con-
sisting of the usual number, eight hands,
persisted. So far the names of the
steamer or fishing lugger have not been
ascertained. It was at first reported
that it was the smack Sunshine, OF Kill

she is reported to have arrived safely IN

was also mentioned as the ill-fatsd one,
but this rumor has also been contra
