Margaret fuller's Fate.

Josephine Lazarus in the Century,
setting out with her on that fatal voy-
age with its record of doom. First, the
captain stricken with malignant small
pox; his death and b,iriai ut-sea, off
Gibraltar; the body wrapped in flag
and lowered into the deep. Margaret
consoles and cares for the widow. Then
little Angelin seized with the dread
disease, lying at the point of death for
lays, and rescued again only by tire
less watching and care. Contrary
winds detain them, so that two long
summer months wear away before they
near their journeys end. On Thurs
day. July Is. the Elizabeth was off the
Jersey coast. The passengers were
told to pack their trunks md prepare to-
land the next morning. AT 9o'clock ini
the evening the wind arose, and at
midnight IL was hurricane. The ship
tossed and pitched all night, fiying-
none knew where or how swiftly--with
the wind and tide, headlong to destruc-,
ton. At o'clock on Friday morning.
July 10, she struck off Fire island
beach. First jar, then crash, aud

| them. One hates to rehearse the hor.
rors of that awful dawn and awaken
ing, yet how else may we realize the
| test the souls which confronted them?
| The passengers meet in the gray twi-
light, exchanging hurried words, calm
but desperate. And now, for twelve
mortal hours, amid the wrack of temp
est and fury of unclaimed elements,
that doomed band of human beings
awaited death--a hundred deaths.
We have a glimpse Of Margaret
singing her terrified child to sleep
through the bowling storm. Land was
in sight, actually within 100 yards, only
the raging breakers between. Through
the gray cloud OF rain and spray they
they could see the gray sand hills, with
people moving on the beach and
wagon drawn up, but not hand lifted
to save them, not a lifeboat sent to the
rescue. Morning, noon, afternoon

The following taken from the
Columbus Dispatch, independent
in politics, is good sense:
"A business man of Columbus
yesterday gave a striking lllustra-
ton of one dominant reason for the
hardtimes and business depression.
He said he is one of many who do
not dare to buy imported goods
because Congress, in accordance
with the pledge of the Democratic
party, will revise the tariff. "You
cannot expect me to lay in a stock
at the importers price and find
myself high and dry when the tar
if is reduced" he said. "Suppos-
ing Twas to invest ten thousand
dollars under the present circum-
stances, he continued, "and sup
posing one of my competitors
bought under tariff reform or free
tradeprices-where would | be when
the time for selling such goods
say next spring-came? NY case
is only one of thousands and it is
the ruling season for the stagna-
ton in business circles. "
This is given as an object lesson
for the people to ponder over.
There Is no question about the fact
that if there was no tear of tariff
legislation there would be a speedy
return of better times. The silver
issue is of moment, but it ia not
the sole cause for the present con-
di.ion.

ing, and Mr.. Smith said that trade
was so dull they did not know when
the mill would start again. He said
if | could get work some place else
| should take il.
Now, is this not true of million
working-men to days What is the
causef Is it the silver question that
has stopped the manufactnersi I say
without fear, No. Well, what is III
Why, it is this: The Democratic
party said in their platform that the
Taria was tax on the workingmen,
and if they would get in power they
would repeal the Mckinley Tariff
bill and throw open the doors of
this country to foreign goods and
admit tn EN- free. They are now in
power, and the American manufac-
turer who is protected by the Nc
Kinley bill is taking the Democrat
&c party at its word. II they repeal
the bill then goods must be made
cheaper and at price to compete
with foreign goods, and what is the
consequence Wages must come
down and the output must be limited
and thousands will be thrown out
of work.
The silver question has nothing
to do with the American manufac-
turers. But the whole tru tn is. the
latter mistrust the party in powe r
and they are not going to make up
and carry stock when the party in
power has said to them, You are
paying your workmen or employees
too much for their labor; that the
American laborer must give the for
eign manufacturer n chance to sell
his goods in this country.
Think of it, my fellow workmen,
asking you and your sons and
daughters to work for wages such
as they pay in Chemnitz, Berlin.
Leicester and other foreign places.
say, think of it! One year ago
you had plenty, were receiving good
wages, and were happy with your
savings safe in bank drawing in
terest and you looking forward to
the time when you could build and
own your own home in this great
American country, and only nine
months after this you are thrown
out of employment; your savings
locked up in bank, may he gone
for ever; and why all this? A party
in power which has no future; a
party in power which the people
do not trust; a party in power which
is not American enough to run this
great Government. Dare any one
deny these facts? Dare any one say
this is not truei Is not silver dol
lar coined by our Government
worth as much to day as year agoi
Can you not go anywhere in the
Upited States and receive full value
for same!
Let the Democratic party say that
the Mckinley bill will stand as it is,
and see how quick the manufac-
turers of this country will open up
their mills and shops and call in
their idle workmen, and then you
will hear one great shout 80 up
from the masses ofthe working peo-
pie;
Virtue, Liberty, Patriotism and
Protection!
These are American principles,

Hon, L. Is. Reed made q ire
mendous speech in the House of
Representatives, the Goth inst. 1t
was the biggest speech heard in
the House for a long time and
created n profound impression.
He spoke in favor of the repeal of
the Sherman act, and on one very
important feature of that ques.
ton he said:
81 do not believe that the adop-
ton of q gold standard in any
way initiates against the reason
able use IF silver as coming
metal. The question whether
there is to DO double standard or
single standard is entirely differ
ent from the question of the use
of silver as money.
awe have purchased, and have
now in the vaults of the U. S.
Treasury Department, thousands
of tons of silver; yet there never
has been n moment of time since
1872 when the standard has not
been gold; the standard to-day is
gold. The repeating OF the pur-
chase clause of the Sherman act,
therefore, would not in any way
establish standard. We are
only refusing to establish differ
ent one. The continuance of the
purchases under the Sherman act
would, in the estimation of the
world, be a declaration that we in
tended to go on with our pur-
chases to such an extent that we
would find ourselves upon silver
basis after no great lapse of time
"Now, whatever this country
may desire to do, whatever its in
tentions are for the future, one
thing seems to be clear, if the peo-
pie are to so upon silver basis they
are going to do so, and want to dc
it deliberately. If the plain ques-
ton were presented to every Amer
lean citizen whether he desired
that this country should oe upon q
purely silver basis with gold ban
ished, the great majority of an.
swers would be no. And this
ground they would take without
abating ajot their determination
to coin and use both metals. With
six hundred millions of silver al.
ready in circulation, we can hard
| ly be a monometalic Nation"
