THE weRKINCMKN,s FkIEN

THE WoRKINGMKN'S FRIENDS.
Some of the minor minds that 1urk
around in the shadow of the Massive Mind
of the Democratic party seem to have the
notion that the free trad plank in the
Chicago platform meant something. Thus,
the New York Times assumes that there
must be new tariff bill, and that ait
must be assumed, to start with, that
American enterprise, skill and ingenuity
are able to compete with foreign manufact-
urers without any serious check on the
competition of the latter" How do the
workingmen of this country, who have
profited and are profiting by an important
'eheck on the competition of the latter"
like the idea of having no serious check
upon iti If the idea of the Times
prevails thoy will find that there
will be no serious check on the COM
petition of foreign manufacturers. They
will have the same experience with free
trade that the workingmen of this
country have had whenever free trade, or
Q tariff for revenue only, has existed here.
During those periods work has been scarce
and wages low. Money has gone out Of
the country for the enrichment Of foreign
ers and to the impoverishment of the peo-
pie of this country. The free trade policy
has several times brought this country into
deep distress, which has only been relieved
by return to the policy of protection.
We mean protection for the manufacturers
of this country. The policy of protecting,
by tariff for revenue only, the manufao-
turers of other countries has never worked
well for us.
Another indication of what is in some OF
the minor minds of the Democratic party
is found in the plan of the tariff bill made
| by the New York Reform club This bill
Is drawn in the interest of importers oi
foreign goods, and where duties are retained
they are put so low as to food the country
with the products Of foreign looms and
workshops. Increased importation alone car
yield the necessary revenue with the low
duties prescribed. The committee says oi
its measure: tfCrude material to be usee
in the process of manufacture is In genera
made free of duty. In taxing Other sra
oles the general object has been to hx suci
rates as would produce the largest amour
of revenue In q series of years consisten
with large importations." What do "larg
importations' mean to the uorkingmen o
this countrya Do they not mean tha
those workingmen would not have as mucl
work to do In making things as they woul'
have under policy which tended to dc
crease importations and encourage donss
tic manufactured And what good vii

WHY THEY DON'T BITE.

Most people who have patience enough
to wait for fish to bite also have ingenuity
enough to frame ingenious theories to
account for the failure of fish to bite And
while they stand and wait, or sit and wait,
they have time enough to get their theo-
ries 80 thoroughly imbedded in their minds
that they become very sure of their sound
ness. One man will announce that the
time of the day when the fish wouldn't
bite his bait wasn't favorable. Another will
talk about the light not being just right.
Another will say that the water wasn't in
exactly the proper condition. Another
will regret that he didn't have some other
kind of bait than that which he did have
Occasionally some unusually sensible man
will seriously explain his fsherman's luck
by the theory that the fish weren't hungry.
And another of the disappointed will
declare his solemn belief that he fished in
ths wrong place.
As nobody really knows why fsn don't
bite when they ought to, one explanation
is as good as another as long as 1t satisfies
the one who makes it and cannot be suc-
cessfully disputed by those to whom 1t is
made. But what is wanted in the fishing
bueiness is general theory which can be
ussd by everybody, and which is of such
a plausible and weighty character that it
cannot be disposed or as false until a more
plausible and solid theory is invented.
Something which seems adapted to the
situation has appeared. 1t comes from
Europe, and is the result of great deal of
experience and observation. This theory
is that fishes bite most freely during the
four or five days after the moons first
quarter, while from the third day after the
last quarter to the second day before the
new moon the sport is at Its worst.
This Is theory worth having. The in
fuence of the moon upon terrestrial things
ia well known. She makes the tides, She
makes lunatics.
ut is the very error Of the moon;
She comes more nearer earth than she was wont
And makes men mad
The moon has also something to do with
rheumatism.
1'The moon, the governess of floods,
Pale in her anger, washes all the air,
That rheumatic diseases do abound"
She makes pork cook one way or an
other. And she has good deal to do with
making love. Why then, should she not
govern the mystery of the biting of fish or
the equal mystery of the refusal of fish to
bitei There is no reason under the moon
why she shouldn't. The general accept
anoe of the theory that she does will be q
good thing both for fishermen and fol
those who are obliged to listen to their &C.
counts of their luck or lack of luck. The
moon will account for all that has hitherto
had great many explanations, including
splitting on the bait.
''Doth the moon care for the barking OF
| . doga' long ago asked melancholy Brothe,
Burton. The question has never been
answered, but it is possible that the moon
doth care for the barking of dog if she
concerneth herself with the biting of fish

The Dead King.

The king was dead. His body lay
In splendor, stern and grim,
While round him fell the solemn day,
Sifted through windows dim.
His sword was clasped within his hand
As firm as when In life
Mia battle clouds that dreadful brand
Had flashed and led the strife.
Beside his gray and stately head
His ieweled crown was set
In readiness, as though the dead
Had need to wear IL yet
And flags from many q battle plain,
Standing about his bier,
Told OF rebellious chieftairs slain
And nations taught to fear.
And there with plumes Of tufted snow
Cresting their figures tall
Stood steel-like sentinels, arrow,
Like pillars Of the hall.
And all day long with curious stare
And umid, bated breath
The people passed. and eyed him there,
Dead, yet defying death
Right royal seemed his upturned face,
For on IL fingered still
The majesty Of all bis racs
And Of his own high Will
The king was dead; before Cots throne
A soul stood In the light,
Shriveled, misshapen, stripped, alone,
And trembling with alright

Wordsworth on Women.

lErOln SaELnlA.
Wordsworth indulges not infrequently
In csustic remarks on women who write,
towards whom he always maintained q
rooted objection. 1t is said thst after
Miss Msrtinesu took up her residence In
his neighborhood, this abhorrence to au-
thoresses sometimes took such active eI.
preston that the deaf lady was frequently
obliged TO see what she could not hear,
and psrforce, TO recognize that her presenca
was unvelcome at Rydal Mount. She her.
self, however, makes no mention of any.
thing of the kind, when alluding to the
Wordsworths, and her intercourse with
them.
On one occasion, after unspsringly con-
demning q work by Miss Sedgwick, he
concludes his criticism thus: '.Such pro-
duotions add to my dialike of literary Ia
dies-indeed make me almost detest the
name' And further on again snd the
rather sweeping announcement that "blue
stockingism Is eadly at enmity with true
refinement of mind" This last is said In
reference to Sara Ooleridge, whom he rsth'
er pettishly accuses of monopoliring Mr..
Quillinsn'a attention on one occasion, dur
ing the time of the latter's engagement to
his daughter Dora. Perhaps, as the re
mark Is made In q letter to Quillinan him
self, something In the nature OF tscit re
proof may be included in 1t for him also
That Wordsworth entertained a higt
| idea of womanhood in the abstract Is IN
doubted, and Ia evident in most of his po
etry; but II is equally true thst he coult
ill support contradiction or interference
from the ladies of his own family, from
