That is one of the amusing recollec-
tions of hotel life. As a general thing,
however the dining-room girl is the
most lively and interesting feature of
the small hotel. She is the successor
to the English barmaid, transformed IN
accordance with modern ideas.
But as to summer resorts. Why do
Chicagoans and other western people
run down to the seaside for their sum-
mer vacation? Probably for no other
reason than that it is the style. 1t
seems to me that a better country for
summer resorts is hardly to be found
anywhere than here around the great
lakes. Within twenty-four hours ride
of Chicago there is scenery rs wildly
romantic and beautiful as any that the
seashOrc offers. There IS every mag
Unable sport and pastime-hunting,
fishing. yachting, steam boating, climb
ing mountains. bathing in the lakes,
ana the beauty of it Is that most of the
places where these things are to be had
have not vet reached the position of
summer rcS0rts-that is to say, the pco-
pie have not vet learned to charge six
prices for everything YOU buy-and the
places arc not ovcrcrowded. there is no
restriction as to style, and one can do
Just as lie pleases.
In some places attempts have been
made to csta blish regular summer re-
sorts. How pitied the poor folks who
went there and tried to imagine they
were enjoying themselves and getting
rested, There they sat on the bald
shore or on the porch of some big barn
of 4 hotel, roasting In the hot sun and
tanning themselves to keep comforta-
bic. At such times l have been hard by
on Lake Michigan where we had to
wear ovcrcoats, or in some quiet, I'M
known nook Of the woods where there
was no fashionable summer resort. but
all the cool air and bracing fragrance
of unadulterated nature that a person
from a big city enjoys SO much when
he is let loose for 4 little while.
Why cannot summer resorts be run
regardless Of style and fashion? Why
can they not be simply country places
enlarged for the accommodation of
guests but preserving nature in its
original state? What does the city man
or woman 60 to a summer resort for
except to come into closer contact with
nature, to feel themselves as one with
nature, to breathe its spirit and re-
plenish as far as may be that small
share of the great spirit with which
they were fitted ont when they started
on the voyage CT life, but which city
life wears out and >uppresses? How
can they do this if they want to carry
the city about with them wherever
90? There should be vast field here
for some enterprising genius who could
construct Z summer resort that took
all these things into consideration. Tn
questionablv there would be . fortune
in such resort.

SHORT TARIFF SERMONS.
Trusts.

Trusts are not due to protection.
This is shown by the fact that tho
great Mecca of combinations of all
kinds is free trade Great Britain.
They are the product of a human
weakness common to all men in every
country and under every political sys-
tem-cupidity.
Combina ton is the recognized COM
mercial tendency of the day. 1t is
natural for men to combine where they
see an opportunity for their own profit.
and they willdo this whether there ba
a tariff or not, rs all impartial judges,
even free traders, viii admit.
Protection is no friend of trusts: in
fact, it Is essentially opposed 10 them.
1t prevents the formation OF interna-
tiOn2l combinations, for which there
could be no destructive remedy. and
guarantees men who wish to compete
with trust fair field and chance for
competition. BY protection also. trusts
are placed within the reach of our own
laws; placed where they can be at

AN INSULT TO THE People.
ClevelRnd's Peculiar Method of Discuss
ing the Protective system.

ing the Protective system.
The method chosen by Mr.. Cleveland
for the discussion of the tariff question
is an insult to the intelligence of the
American people. He represents in eff
feet that some intangible and remorse-
less power is levying tribute upon the
masses for the benefit of classes
through the operation of the protective
system. In other words, he talks as if
that system had been imposed upon
the country against its wishes by the
decree of an autocratic ruler in the pay
of the manufacturers. lie puts aside
the fact that we have a republican form
of government and that laws are made
in obedience to the demands of public
opinion. The protective tariff has ex-
listed all these years not because of
conspiracy on the part of certain indi-
viduals to enrich themselves by whole
sale extortion and oppression, but be-
cause a majority of the vo,erS of the
nation have regarded it rs great gen
eral benefit. They have had the power
10 abolish it at any time, and yet 1t has
not been dispensed with. As often as

mitted to them they have decided in
favor of retaining the duties that Mr..
Cleveland declares to be forced con-
tri5utions" from their income. 1t is
evident that they do not understand
the matter as he prctends to and do
not realize that the iron grip of nys-
terious power is squeezing the life
blood out OF them. On the contrary,
they are apparently we'll satisfied, and
as often as the occasion comes they go
to the polls and reiterate their prefer
ence for protection over free trade.
Mr.. Cleveland is self-deceived if he
imagines that he can bring about the
destruction of the protective system by

Eala1ce of Trade.

4 balance of trade in orr favor means
balance of profits in the pockets of
our people.
1t means that we are creditors instead
of debtors, that foreign nations owe us
money or goods instead OF our country
being in debt to foreign nations.
Free trade professors pretend to
sneer at a balance Of trade and say it
represents no wealth.
Yet those very free trade professors
would far rather sell their text books
to English students and get back good
British gold IN return than use up their
salaries in buying English books with
out selling anything of their own.
\ balance Of trade is an index of Il
country's business, of its purchases and
sales. of its profits or losses.
If It be- profitable for an individual to
sell more than he buys and thus have q
balance Of money-virtually a private
balance of trade-in his favor, why is 1T
not Just as profitable for Il nation?
A balance Of trade may be paid IN
money, or in goods and services. Either
mode Of payment insures to the profit
u LIIt tpttLlt-F III - AALSN 4tAFcA OAtC OetA-
ancc exists.
If the payment be in goods or serv-
Ices. then the debtor nation must be-
stir itself to send these goods, whether
of is own or of foreign production. or
perform those services. As q conse-
quencc, we get more goods for less
money than we wouid get were there
M f,--o,.1 bIp b1laDpp
The beneficial effect OF payment in
cash need not be explained. Money, it
IS true. Is not consumablc, it cannot be
eaten or worn, but It mas far more
important function. Money is the life
of trade. Where money is plenty busi-
ness Is active and enterprise awake.
Where money is tight industry stag
mates.
SO our country should welcome a IA
vora5lc balance of trade. and it should
welcome the American policy of prOtec-
ton, the only policy that has given US q
favorable balance in the past or will
give it in the future.

NATIONAL PROSPERITY.
The Effect of IIsrrison's Administrations
on the Trade. of the Country.

Oh ShS Iaut cl AtO
The clearances of the banks at the
principal cities throughout the country
last week were nearly thirteen per
cent. larger than during the correspond
ing week OF 1891.
This is but sample of the reports
which have been made by the bank
managers during several months past.
1t indicates the enormous, indeed the
unprecedented.' proportions of the cur
rent volume OF trade.
The significance of the big business
which is being done by the banks is
enhanced by the stagnation which pre-
walls IN all departments of speculation.
The Wall street maelstrom has sub
sided into a dead calm. Oil is no longer
a speculative commodity. Mining stock
speculation has shrunk to very small
proportions. The produce and cotton
exchanges are almost as quiet as the
Wall -Broad-New street institution.
The business of the banks is legitimate,
rather than speculative. Railroad earn-
ings, like bank clearances, point to an
enormous volume of trade.

Strikes an,IIocIkonts.

There was a time when strikes were
very rare indeed. 1t was when capital
owned labor and kept it in subsection
and on the verge of starvation. Slaves
can't strike.
Education and enlightenment taught
labor its own power, then it struck for
greater liberty.
Greater liberty caused it to strike for
greater pay.
With greater pay came increased op-
portunities for intellectual improve
ment, and organization followed.
Now with united front worlingmen
pressed on for greater and even greater
concessions from their employers, which
granted. feed their desire for more.
From the defensive they nov take
the offensive, demanding instead of en-
treating.
That is the way they do in this coun-
try, because here the laborer has been
elevated to the plane OF the capitalist,
enjoying greater liberty and receiving
higher wages than anywhere else on
earth.
