quite as gentle and ladylike and
respectable when engaged in some
honorable, lucrative employment
as she could possibly be while
doing nothing at home. She
is certainly more to be COM
mended and admired if her self
respect will rot allow her to become
a burden to parents and relatives
who are perhaps willing butnot abe

GOLD AND COTTON.

1t is estimated that this years
cotton crop in the Southern States
will be about seven million five hum
dred thousand bales, worth about
$50 a bale. This will yield two hun
dred and sixty-two million five hun
bred thousand dollars in gold, a sum
nearly equal to the income cleared
by England by way of interest on it's
foreign investments. Now, since the
cotton crop is a gold bearing com
modity-a thing which commands
gold at all times, the advantage of
England itself is not greater than
that of the Southern States in the
maintenance of a single gold stand
ard. Why should Southern repre-
sentatives in Congress insist upon
throwing away such advantage by
voting with the silver barons against
the real interests of our section? All
the gold mines in the world do not
produce annually enough to pay for
our cotton; and if the tariff should
, be reformed and the gold standard
maintained, the cotton states would
| soon get the better of every nation
on earth in the scramble for gold.
Whoever, therefore, votes against
gold, votes also against cotton.

Many mills have been broken, but

such quantity as shall supply all her

When the requisite number of shin,

and it generally does.
ingenuity and perseverance are
largely the factors of success, and
these qualities are eminently char
acteristic of the feminine mind.
While many women have seen fit
to invade ground formerly sacred to
masculine endeavor alone, and by
actully boarding the lion in his den,
have demonstrated their ability to
remain on his level; statistics show
shat only one tenth of the women
breadwinners in the United States
have entered the professions or
usurped positions usually occupied
by men. The remaining nine tenths
are working quietly along on lines in
keeping with the traditions of their
sex.
The Women's Exchanges established
in SO many cities are blessing to
thousands who earn a respectable
livelihood through the sale of their
handiwork. Precautions are taken
that none except the really needy are
benefited by these institutions
Every application is investigated,
and the successful applicant is given
a number which appears on all her
work. 4 commission is deducted by
the Exchange on all articles sold
which goes toward it's maintenance.
Besides fancy articles, there are
flowers, jellies, cakes and preserves

THE GREAT REFORM.

Editor Henry Watterson of the
Louisville Courier Journal is ham,
mering away on the tariff with all his
old yigor. Few men have done more
to advance the cause of commercial
freedom than he, and it gives us
pleasure to quote such a specimen OF
his forceful eloquence as the follow
ing:
The system is rotten in its founda-
ton and vicious in all its parts. The
prevailing business is it's half-broth-
er, if not its offspring. 1t has full
filled none of it's boastful promises.
Naturally imports will be suspended
during any period of tariff transit
ton, and in that way revenues will
be temporarily cut off and certain
lines OF business be for the moment
suspended. But this is the merest
incident. With a tariff lowered to
the largest reyenUe-yielding duties
on the non-protective, non-competi-
tive scale, all things will start into
life; Improbable plants will be aban
doned for more wholesome enter
pIlStS3 CdpIUCll VIII CCCh
IN new and natural channels; the
bounty crutches abandoned, manu-
facturers will reconstruct themselves
on sounder and more durable lines;
the needs of existence will be cheaper
ed; foreign commerce will pour the
money of other nations IN upon US;
the sails of our ships will be spread
to prospecting gales; every material
blessing will be multiplied and every
avenue of human endeavor broaden
ed; and the country will move for
ward as it never moved before.
The more thorough and sweeping
the reform the surer and speedier the
relief. Every evil prediction is the
voice of Mammon shrieking the tor
ment of the damned. Every threat
of ruin and confusion is the devils
bellman vainly seeking to sound
hell's fire-alarm. The long night is
over. The dawn of a longer day mas
come. Presently its glorious sun will
rise to brighten every prospect, and !,
as the painted harlot of Protection,
her orgy ended and her beauty gone,
wends her way over the hill to the
bone-yard, millions of honest people
will rejoice, wondering how the
bleared and beastly thing could work
so many spells and last so long.

Grasshoppers Got HIS Money
ON the St. LOUIS Globe Democrat.l

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.]
Farmer Silas Bauer, of Terough
Creek valley, Huntingdon county,
had several hundred dollars on de
post and drew it out thinking the
bank might fail. Being afraid OF
robbers finding it in the house, he
sewed the bills up in the lining of his
coat. Saturday he was working in
field. His coat hung on a fence
post. The equity is suffering from
a grasshopper plague. Several hun
dred of the insects alighted on the
coat, and bored hundreds of holes
through the money, mutilating it
almost beyond redemption. Bauer
has forwarded the pieces to WASH
ingtOn.

COMPROMISE PROBABLE.

1t now seems that a compromise
measure will be the result OF the
silver debate in the Senate. 1t is
said that canvass shows that there
are forty-nine Senators for repeal
and thirtysix against; majority OF
thirteen. Upon such an amendment
as is proposed by Senator Faulkner,
however, it is said that there are no
less than eight Senators who will
vote on the affirma tive, in which
case the vote on the Faulkner
amendment would stand forty-four
for adoption and forty-one against.
In the event of the defeat of both
the Wilson and VOORHEES, bills, and
the adoption of a substitute Ivy the
Senate, the whole question would
again be opened in the House.
Whether the Senate compromise
would be promptly concurred in or
whether it would precipitate pro-
longed discussion in the House, re
sulting in still another bill that
would have 70 go the Senate tor its
action, remains to be seen. In other
words, the end of this discussion
seems not to be in sight.
The silver men appear determined
to use utmost efforts to prevent the
adoption of any repeal bill that does
not recognize silver. This is evident
from a remark made by Senator
Dubois, of Idaho, in rep.y to Senator
Voorhees, The Idaho Senator said
that while the Senator from Indiana
was personally trusted, there was no
reason why tie friends of silver
should hope for anything in recogni-
ton of silver from this administra-
ton unless they obtained it in con-
junction with repeal
On the other hand, according to
the Washington Post, it is hoped by
Senator VOORHEES,, that after a num-
Der of generous propositions have
been made to the silver men and
have been refused the friends Of re-
peal will be stirred by anger and
irritation into a spirit of obstinate
determination to fight for the pass
age of the bill at all hazards.
1t seems certain, however, that the
silver purchase clause of the Sher-
man law will be eventually repealed
either Internationally or with con-
ditions providing for the main
tenance of silver as a circulating
medium. Whatever the final result
will be, it should be reached as
speedily as practicable.
