A YANKEE PRAYER

In the State OF Ohio, there rcsid-
cd u family, consisting of an old
man. Of the name OF Beaver, ard
hls three sons, all OF whom were
hard "pets," who had often
laughed TO scorn the advice and
entreuties Of a pious, though very
eccentric, minister, who resided IN
the same town. 1t happened one
of the boys was bitten by rattle
snake and WIS expected to die, when
the minister was sent for in great
haste, On his arrival, he found
the young man very pcnItent, and
anxious TO be prayed with. The
minister calling or the family,
kuolt down and prayed in this
wisc:--" . Lord we thank thee
for rattlesnakes wo thank thee
because u rIttlesnake has bit jim
we pray thee send rattlcsnake to
bite John send one to bite Bill
send one to bite Sam and, o
Lord send the biggest Kind OF
rattlcsnake to bite the Old man
for nothing but rattlesnakes will
ever bring the Beaver family to re-
pcntuncc. EIch0H0e.

THE EVOLUTION OF TRADE.

Evolution has won its case i'll the
open court Of science. The fanna
and flora Of the zones are witnesses
whose testimony can not be set
aside. In the realms Of natural
history the survival of the fittest"
is the supreme law of life, as infex-
ible rs were the laws of the Medes
and persians.
In commercial life trade has its
evolution. Ii has its development,
and Its supremacy or decline. The
natural law Of business evolution
is likewise the same stern law of
Z" the survival of the fittest."
Success in business illustrates the
law IN its positive aspect, while
failure and bankruptcy illustrate
the law IN its negative aspect. lie
who can, wins he who cannot,
loses. The fittest pushes his busi-
ness along IN defiance of difficulties,
competition, and bankruptcy.
Such is the supreme law or const-
tuition of trade i'm its normal state.
But the natural law Of trade has
been nullified to great extent in
the United States. Certain lines of
industry would not pay working
expenses. They were not the
fittest. They could not survive.
In order to diversity industry and
live independent of European
notions, these weaklings, these
".infant industries were adopted
by the general government and the
people nursed them into greater
strength. The people placed these
infants upon their feet, little dream
ing that the time would come when
these in nfants would put the peo-
pie under their feet. Though they
run over the people, they yet
demand the aid of the government
and receive it. These infants are
now full-grown monopoles. ] will
not name the Carnegie plant as one
of these unnatural infants, for
have lecently read that TO hold MP
the said plant TO puolic view as an
object lesson in political economy
is to be guilty Of anarchy. Having
obtained aid as infants at first. they
now retain 1t by having their capi-
tai protected by high tariff duties.
They persuade the people, major
ity of them, that protection TO their
capital in the form OF manufactured
articles is protection to American
labor. They thus claim to be the
guardians of American workmcn,
the managers of American labor, if
| understand their claim Alright.
To every man or woman not in q
protected industry the law of "the
survival OF the fittest" " applies.
But the unavoidable hardships of
OF that law are improved upon
after person outside the pale of
protected industries has proven
himself one of the " fittest" he
sees one of the nnfttest standing
monumental on n solid pedistal OF
profit. The fittest must contribute
to make the unfittest the most fit.
BY this process their normal con
ditioCs are changed, and the natural
law of trade is annulled.
BY what natural law or right oi
normal evolution does the unfit
person-the protected pcrson--takC
tribute from the unprotected per.
son ? A misfit fellow on the high
way, who indiscriminately take,
from unprotected people when in
his power. is a thief and an anarch
ist, but what shall we call the unfit
fellow whose hand is long enough t.

OhiO's Electoral Vote.

CLEVELAND, Nov. 26.-It now APP
pears as though Ohio may have intend
ed to have gone for Grover Cleveland
by slight margin. Last night the
State statistician completed the cleo
ton count upon individual presidential
electors. James T. Seward, whose
name appeared first on the list of dem
ocratic electors, received plurality OF
1,716 over Vickers, republican. 1t is
argued that the cross was placed be-
side Stewards name at the head of the
ticket by many who supposed they
were voting the straight democratic
ticket, whereas they were voting
only for him. If this be the
fact, though it can never be proven,
enough voters in Ohio desired to vote
for Cleveland to carry the State by the
plurality that was equal to that Seward

Lookout for the Celestial Fireworks
NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-"Those who
are interested in celestial phenomena"
said Prof Jacoby, Of Columbian Col
lege. SHOULD be on the lookout to-mor-
row little before midnight and |
don't think their expectations are like
ly to be disappointed. five are favor
ed with bright, clear weather there will
be an unusual shower of celestial fire
works, for it is the period of the en-
pected arrival of Biela meteors, when
the earth will traverse the path Of that
comet and encounter the hosts of frag-
mentary wanderers that are believed
to be the sole surviving representatives
of the supposed defunct comet. 1t is
difficult to calculate the exact moment
at which they are to be expected.
There are now no less than seven COM
cts in the sky in addition to the last
one discovered by Mr.. Brooks. Too
much Importance is being laid on this
particular one. There is no need for
alarm lest any of these projectiles
should reach the earth. Never has a
meteoric shower been otherwise than
beautiful, and harmless. The bodies
which fall on the earth are always sol
itary wanderers.

The Monetary Conference.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 26.-No session of
the international monetary conference
was held to-day. General expectation
centres on the plan that will be put
forward by Mr.. Rothschild, one of the
British delegates. The bi-mctallists
are sanguine that it will form the basis
for solution of the questions before
the conference. On the other hand
mono-metallists declare that the con-
ference is certain to fail, and it will
only be g waste of time to prolong
discussion. The general impression is
that the American proposals have no
chance of being adopted in their pres
ent strongly bi-metallic shape.
