RErRlBUTlON.

How well remember last fall at the rally,
l marched in the line wild the worIin'
min, sure,
And felt just as proud as king at be-
houlding
The fall of the rich and the rise of the
poor.
Sure that's what they tould NE was mint
by the victh'ry,
And no wonder That | was eldted at that,
As sthepped to the music just like an
ould soger
And wore a big roosther on the top O.
my hat.
l invied the boss wild his riches and COM
forts
No share of the profits I'd git if again
/ voted TO kape up the tariff that only
PROTECTED the bosses and burdened the
min.
All, sure I'll get aven now wild you, my
hOneys,
Tll vote just as sure as my name it is
Pat,
For Grover, and thin, at the ratification,
I'll wear big roosther on the top O. my
hat.
I done it, bad luck to the day an the
I'd like to recall that same vote if 1
could,
And once agan hear the ould shame whis-
tie soundin'
That called me to work whin the times
they were good.
The boss he looks worried, the foreman is
sour,
The ould mills deserted and gloomy at
that,
And all | have lift of the share of the glory
Is the ould battered roosther wore OIL
my hat.
1 mustered up courage one day to sphake
to him
And ask him how long we'd be idle You
see
The mill had been closed for fortnight,
and loafin'
Wild not a cint comm was tellin' on me.
He sez to me, Pat, you an l will both
suffer;
Me bizness is crippled, me credit is fat,
But if yez git hungry, yez know" he said
slyly,
''Yez can ate the ould roosther yez wore
on your hat"
So there's the houl story, and none can
deny it,
The truth must be tould though the
hivens should fall.
We made a misthtake in defatin' the party
That gave us protection, good money and
all.
In four years from now yez talk till you're
spachless,
An'argify until you're as gray as rat,
But if that same party again is triumphant,
The devila roosther yez'll see on my hat.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

Hearts may agree though heads differ
No one can disgrace US but ourselves
Self-respect- the cornerstone of al
virtue.
Our heaviest burdens are those we
borrow.
He that has endured evil knows best
what is good.
All fame is dangerous: good brings
envy; bad; shame
Fine words on tombstone do not
mean anything in heaven.
Disappointments are to the soul what
thunder storm is to the air.
The greatest trouble is easier to bear
than the known guilt of one sin.
Crimes succeed by sudden dispatch
honest counsels gain yigOr by delay.
One who teaches great truths should
live up to the doctrine he processes.
The man who rides hobby is always
complaining that the world is too slow.
Good manners is the art of making
the people easy with whom we converse.
1t is hard for some men to believe that
sin can be black as long as it pays well.
Beware of despairing about yourself;
put your trust in God and not in yourself.
A self-made man spoils his work every
time he opens his mouth to praise himself.
The fruit of liberal education is not
learning, but the capacity and desire to
learn.
Money that is given to attract ap-
plause from men is never entered upon
the books of heaven.
A false report does not last long, and
the life one leads is the best apology for
that which one has led.

Business ano Politics.

Governor Mckinley was right wher
he attributed unusual significance tc
the notice posted by the Bell Brothers
on the closed doors of their pottery in
Findlay, O., which runs as follows:
These works will today close, to remain
closed until such time as the Democratic
party will promise not to meddle with eX
isting tariff laws.
The Bell Brothers are exceptionally
successful business men. They are
young, active. wide awake and indus
trious. They went to Findlay few
years ago with a comparatively small
capital outside their natural energy
skill and correct business methods, tC
take advantage of the cheap fuel fur
nished by the natural gas so abundant
in that city.
They worked hard. as men who sue
ceed usually do, employed good work
men, kept up with the progress in de-
velopment in their line of business, and
watched the markets with the keen,
alert vigilance of first-class business
men. and prospered most satisfactorily.
They furnished employment to large
force of men. women and boys, and
soon acquired a splendid reputation for
honest dealing and the solid value of
their product.
They came near being worthy of
characterization as ''model citizens. -
They would have been entirely worthy
if they had taken more interest in poll
tics. No American acquits himself of his
whole duty who is not interested in
politics. No people are worthy of or
can maintain the rights that republic
is intended to secure who do not take a
deep interest in politics. The only
thing that can destroy republic is the
Indifference of its citizens to political
affairs.
But for this very reason the act of
the Bell Brothers in posting the notice
quoted by Governor Mckinley has un-
usual significance. They had no par
tisan end in view. They were not at
tempting to use their argument to Sc
cure the success of a political party.
They simply told the truth and fur
nished an object lesson of the highest
value. The pottery industry would
have been almost unknown to the
United States if Protection had not en-
abled men like the Bell Brothers to pay
good wages and at the same time COM
pete with British manufacturers. And
as it is with this industry so it is with
manufacturing in a hundred different
lines.
Will the Democratic party heed the
lesson?
The election of William Mckinley. as
governor of Ohio. this fall, will have
great effect in relieving the present dis
tressed condition of the country. The
tariff is at the bottom of our pres ent
trouble, and while President Cleveland
can not ignore it, as his party is firmly
committed to it, he in his message
relegated it for the future and not i'm
mediate consideration. But an over
whelming expression from the voters
of Ohio in favor of protection would
give encouragement to the industrial
world aid assure them of support.

A rnrc,ble Way of Putting It.

A nautical term comes with a kind OF
a shock in art criticism, but there was
certain pertinency in the remark of the
good mayor of Gloucester, Mass, who
said, speaking of the picture of prede-
cessor in his office, that it was pretty
good Likeness, but with man of his
style of features a profile view would
never be as effective as though it were
taken a little more "head on. New

If the Republicans of Ohio, New
York and other States which hold cleo
tions this fall, will vote as we think
they will there will soon be an end to
business depression. There will be a
revival of confidence such as will cause
the masses of working people to rejoice.
Big Republican majorities will be notice
to the Democrats to keep hands off the
tariff. They will not dare to carry
their platform declarations into effect
but will be quick to read the warning
Next year new Congress VII be elect
ed, and free trade in the gnise If reve
Lue tariff, will receive its death blow.
