A very respectable but very square
jawed set of people still shake their
heads and knot their brows over wom-
ans alleged breaking away from the
halter to jump the hedge into the wide,
wide world. "She should stay at home
and take care of her children" is their
stern utterance. Probably it would be
useless to assure these determined ones
that it is an incident in the evolution
of the race that there are startling
numbers of single women upon whom
business opportunities are thrust also
that those who take care of children
may do more than that as well as their
grandmothers did. Sixteen hours day
are required by an intelligent woman
to attend to the proper bringing up of
her family.
The fact is yet to dawn upon many
that a woman's time has or should
have value which if not measured in
dollars and cents is felt in the educa-
tional impulse impaired to her sons and
daughters resulting from her wise use

N WOMAN'S BEHALF.
woMAN's PLACE IN NATURE.
Her First Duty Is to Get Living and Then
Vse If Well

Her First Duty Is to Get a Living and Ine1
Use 1t Well
The sooner women realize the truth
of their position as theory and bodily
act upon it, the better it will be for
them. They do indeed act upon it, and
have always been obliged to do so, ma
ture being quite a sexual tyrant and
giving no heed to trivial differences.
Natural laws starve women as indiffer-
emily as they do men, and find it no
more harm. The recognition of wom-
ans place in nature as being primarily
that of a female animal, whose first
business it is to get living, and whose
second to get a good living, would do
much to sweep off the cobwebs of bar
rem sentiment and unproductive rhetoric
which pass current for reasoning on
their social status.
When women at large are aroused to
the fact that this is their actual status
in nature-the mere hard unquestiona-
bic fact of existence, the alienation of
their lot in general will become rapid.
Industrial emancipation is in truth the
only emancipation there is for either
man or woman, since the development
of such industries as make living easier
and fuller produces the only relief from
degraded poverty or continuous toll
which the nature of things permits us
to find. We may cali it coarse neces-
-sity-a wretched condition, a hard
sdrudging tyranny, but with all our rail-
ing we can not rail it out of existence,
since it is of nature, which is
deaf and blind. to praise and
blame alike. No individual no
class no nation has ever risen
in the world except it first succeeded
in wrestling the assurance of a good
regular living from nature, and none
ever will. Those who apply to society
: for it will not get it Society has no
surplus large enough to provide them
with it, even if it would. Nature alone
has the resources sufficient And the
application to nature must be made
through work. Work is the only prayer
she heeds When, then, all women
q come to that as some are now doing,
their position in the world will be no
more in question than is mans position
at the present moment The position
OF Independence is always beyond ques-
ton everywhere, and earning ones
own living is a position of independence
compared with getting it by depend
ence, from somewhere else.
1t is a curious example of the dimness
with which one sees through social
environment that women are always
discussed, as # for them at least it were
better to get no living and so perish |
rather than to ''unseX themselves as |
the can't goes, by working for living. |
As if no existence were preferable to |
one with some drawbacks to maintain |
it. The position is quite absurd; as on |
that basis, man might also reject life |
because of its tolls First get a living, |
then use it well, is the true principle

An EngIishman ON Our rarIfY.

Col Howard Vincent, member of par
lament for Sheffield, on returning
from his recent visit to Canada and the
United States, expressed the following
opinion of the effects of the Mckinley
bill, in answer to the questions of a re-
porter of the London Financial News:
"Can you give me any Information about the
working Of the Mckinley tarif?'
81 can tell you this: believe IL to be a ire
mendous success for America, and to be doing
great deal to give American wages TO American
workingmen."
Then you do not believe 1t is going to be re-
pealed?"
"Not for q minute. The democrats are COM
pletely changing their tone, and openly declar-
ing that they are no longer advocates OF free
trade
What Is the special merit that you observe
in the operation of the Mckinley tariff"
~ will put aside the injurious effect It has
wrought upon our iron and steel industry, the
decline in British exports 10 America, the de-
cline in textile wages and the decline in the tin
plate industry in South Wales, and coufne my
self to the advantageous reciprocity treaties
concluded under the operation Of the Mckinley
tariff act with Brazil and other countries, and
even now with our own West Indian colonies
1t is upon these reciprocity treaties that the
government Of the republic will appeal next
year, believe. to the support OF the country,
and as showing the difference between the
American compared with commercial negotia-
lions under protection and the impotence Of the
English government and people, even to pro-
test against the tariff levied by foreign nations"
1t takes an impartial Englishman to
give the average American ''reformer'
points as to the workings of the Ameri-
can system of protection and reciprocity.

ABOUT MILUIONAIRES.
False Notions as to the Wealth OF Many
Reputed Milliensires.

There is great deal of blubber con-
nected with the statements of the
wealth of American millionaires.
These statements are never anything
more than guesses, and in most cases
they are far wide of the mark. They
are seized upon by political dema-
gogues, and paraded before the public
as authentic evidence of the tendency
of our laws to make the rich richer and
the poor poorer. There is good re ason
to believe that there are no such vast
fortunes in this country as have been
reported. We have many men of
wealth, but their wealth does not
reach one-half of the colossal proper
tions attributed to them.
Somebody, for instance, has recently
estimated that 80, 900 men owned two
thirds of the 500, 600, 900, 900 constituting
the wealth of the United States. Among
them were ten, or a hundred-it may
as we'll be one as the other-men worth
$500, 900, 900 each: a still larger number
were worth 500. 100000 each; many
were worth $50, 900, 900 each, and the
Monte Cristos with from SO, 600, 600 up
ward were estimated by thousands.
There are no such accommodations of
wealth. There is nobody worth $780,
100000 in available cash values. The
men with even $1,000, 600 or $40, 600, 900
in money or its equivalent may be
counted on the thumbs and fingers.
The men estimated as millionaires are
generally worth a few hundred thou
sand dollars each, or are engaged in
some business that yields great profits,
enabling them to make grand displays,
but which is not of such an assessable
or saleable value as to constitute great
actual wealth.
An instance of the unreliability of
these estimates of great fortunes is
seen in the case of Jerome l. Case, of
Racine, Wis. Mr.. Case was reputed
to be worth SO, 600. 900, at very low
estimate. An inventory in the probate
court shows his estate to be worth, all
told, 81, 100, O00-mostly invested in real
property. What shrinkage would &C.
cur at a cash sale it is not necessary to
compute. Another instance is that of
the late Senator Plumb. Mr. Plumb's
wealth was placed at from one to five
million dollars. 1t is found to be less
than half a million, wifi large claims
against it preferred in eastern courts.

dream of the army of 'reformers" and
visionaries.-Emporia Republican

UNFOUNDED REPORTS.
The Underhanded Methods of Cowardly
Democrats.

Democrats.
Mr.. Blaine'S very emphatic charac.
terization of the degree of the false
hood that charges him with intent to
resign his Office as ''infernal" may or
may not prevent its repetition in DEM
ocratic newspapers. In the lower class
of them it is likely to be repe ated and
re-repeated with the other falsehoods
about treasury deficit, a fifty per
cent advance on the retail prices of
tin-plate, or a tariff duty averaging
eighty per cent. ON all imports. But
we may expect all journals of the
next fortnight at least.
1t is sign presaging more than ordi-
nary discontinue to the democratic
legions that their generals dare to

timorous democrats do not dare to

tacks on any of the republican outposts.
They huddle together and strive to
stimulate each others courage by false
stories of republican dissensions. If
there really were republican dissen-
sions the democrats would be busy at
lacking the posts commanded by the
disaffected republicans. But there is
no sign of such action. There are no
such posts to attack.
We have heard from the democrats
that Secretary Wanamaker was "about
to resign" But he does not resign. is
not likely to resign. He is trusted
alike by the president and the people.
and by his excellent management of
the postal department has compelled
tribute of praise from the mugwumps
who once thought that no civil service
reform could be effected without Cleve-
land We have been told also that
Secretary Tracy is about to resign"
But neither the president nor the peo-
pie desire change in the department
of the navy. and Mr.. Tracy is well
aware of this. His bold words at Bos-
ton concerning his intent to make the
navy yards industrial centers, and not
political workshops, have been made
true by him. Never has the navy de-
partment been conducted on more
strictly business principles than by
Secretary Tracy, and, as an unavoida-
BILE consequence of this, never has the
money appropriated for naval pur-
poses been productive of more practical
results
1t is to be noted that no democratic
leader has dared to assail the manage
ment of the department of state, the
post Office or the navy by the distin-
guished secretaries that preside over
them. During the coming campaign
the conduct of each one of the great
of the administration will
be displayed in detail. and the votes of
the people will be solicited in favor of

Snckless Socrates.

Jerry Simpsons gall is amazing. In

our Sockless Socrates took all the
credit for the advance in farm prod
ucts He said:
"As the number of the republican
representatives from Kansas has de-
creased the price of corn has gone up
in Kansas. Since the peoples party
there has begun to rule, the price, not
only of corn but of nearly every other
product of the farm, has advanced"
The Chicago Inter Ocean thinks that
possibly this will encourage Jerry to
continue to Islander ''mortgaged Kan

national corn burners" 1t is the rain

Dick Chase, of Kansas, il correctly
reported, is abont level on the sub
treasury, and agrees with President
Folks idea, that in the national plat
form that issue should not be engrafted.
1t is distinctly an issue belonging to
the alliance, that as matter of detail
has no place in a party platform
conformist.
1t is not diffic ult to see through this
little dodge of Folks and Chase's.
They recognize that the sub-treasury
plan is an elephant on the hands of the
alliance that is entirely too expensive
to keep. They are afraid to go before
the people with it as an issue, and are
trying to save their foundering ship by
throwing it overheard In other words,
they are sacrificing the central and alb
sorbing principle of their movement to
a consideration of party policy. They
are doing exactly what, if done by old
party leaders instead of "reformers,"
would be condemned as partisan dema-
gogy.
The peoples party is the alliance
party. 1t is an organization within
and of the alliance. with the INTENT on
of eventually absorbing it. The ALI
ance principles are its principles, and
it was organized for the purpose of
urging these principles upon the public
through the agency of party machin-
cry. As the sub-treasury is the lead
ing idea of the alliance, so it is of the
alliance party. To endeavor to smoth
er it therefore, by excluding it from
the party platforms, under the prete xt
that its proper place is in the alliance

cry that smacks very strongly of cow
ardice. Why do not Messrs. Polk and
Chase say: Brother farmers, our lead
ing principle is evidently too unpopu-
lar to attempt to make n camra align
upon; we shall, therefore, have to kick
it out and do the best we can with our
minor principles as issues" Either be-
