HOW ToREsToRE CONFIDENCE.
An Iowa Congressman's Letter.

OsKALoosA, Iowa, June 5, 1898.
A. NJ. DoLPH, President Board ofTrade,
Cincinnati, Ohio:
DEAR SIR.-Replying to your letter of
the Sd inst, it seems to me that the
remedy is very simple, but [ fear it is.
unfortunately impracticable. If the
Democratic majority could at once
resolve and satisfy the country that they
would let the Tariff alone and stand by
the former system under which the
country has enjoyed great prosperity, we
would have no difficulty. Everybody
expects legislation hostile to American
production. The Democratic party is
pledged to such course. There can be
no revival of confidence until that party
satisfies the country that will not carry
out its pledges. A systematic and wide
spread attempt is being made to blame
everything on the silver law. But the
silver law made no trouble until the
Senate and Presidency went to the
Democrats. 1t was not until that party
became assured of the powerto destroy
Protection that confidence became
impaired. 1t is not legislation that the
country needs, in my opinion. The
situation is a "forced and unnatural one, "
as you say, and grows out of the fear OF
legislation. What the country needs is
assurance that there will be no legisla-
ton. The present lack of confidence is
the sober second thought of the country.
Last fall the nation resolved on the
reversal of the policy under which it
had prospered. 1t is now showing that
its sober business sense is more to be
relied upon than its hasty political judg-
ment. 1t is impossible to consider the
question without reference to politics,
because it is the change of policy resolv-
ed on in q political contest that has
brought about the present uncertainty
and lack of confidence
Very respectfully,
JOHN L. LACEY, NJ. c..

Starving the Heart.

There is much greater danger in this
world of starving the hearts of those
with whom we come in contact than
there is Of spelling them by too much
adulation and ffattery. Kindness goes
long ways, in many cases miles and
miles beyond the thought of the per-
son who speaks gentle word or en-
courages by a firm clasp of the hand a
struggler who is doing battle with the
world. Women who keep servants
frequently fail to recognize how much
more service they would receive from
their help if they treated them like
human beings instead of having duty
rendered them in a compulsory fashion
IN order to obtain the wages when they
are due. Human hearts are like plants,
and they Will not strive in stony places
with never glimpse of sunshine. If
the employer did but know it he loses
nothing by the words of encourage
ment that he gives to those who labor
for him. If they are sensible, such
kindness is not lnfringed upon and does
not make the paid help feel SET up with
their own Importance. but rather spurs
them on to greater effort and desire
to do more for the one who is at the
head of the house or concern wherein
they are employed. Friendly words of
help never come amiss in any walk Of

The Gossiper.

eff [ am a gossip" said young woman
who had been accused Of INDUCING in
this truly feminine vice, II was made SO
by force of circumstances. My bringing
up is largely responsible for that sin. y
AS this was a new theory, with all the
curiosity of our sex we questioned the
pretty speaker and she gave us the fol-
lowing views, which once heard bore a
world ofweighty truth in their utterance,
though we had never before regarded
the matter in the light she threw upon

mother and friend, who was visiting
her, piled me with questions regarding
what was said and done in that other

greeted me when [ said [ hadn't noticed

about the world, bringing worry and

An Object Lesson.

Hudson Star: Oneyear ago promi-
nent farmer took his wool to the River
Falls market to sell. He was offered
IS cents pound for it, which was some
thing of a decline from former prices.
He was indignant and swore the "rob-
Der tariff was no help to the American
producer. The dealer tried to show
him that wool was much lower than
this in England and Australia. He re-
fused to be conforted and last fall voted
for Grover Cleveland and tariff reform.
Last week the same farmer went to the
same market to sell his wool. Greatly
to his surprise and accelerated indig-
nation he found he could only get u
cents for his clip, and the buyer didn't
even care for it at that price. How do
YOU account for this ''horribly shabby
price" for wool?
"Why, my friend" said the buyer,
'"you are getting what you voted for
last fall. American manufacturers are
counting on the Democratic party to
carry out its promises. If it does that
there will be duty on wool, and they
have ordered all their American buyers
to take wool only on the basis of the
European price. They say if we are to
compete with free trade England, we
must have wool at free trade prices.
Hence, farmers are now getting only 1
and y cents for their fieeces."
