KICKS; BY THE KICkERS.

To the Editor OF The 7 IEs:
Notwithstanding the proverbial hospitality Of
Washingtonians, it is harder to get into houses
in this city than in any other city in the world.
The servants are exasperatingly long in answer
ing the door bells. 1t is generally necessary to
ring twice or thrice, and wait of five minutes
on the porch is common experience. Why do
Washington householders allow sucn discouteous
treatment of visitors, Servants should be re-
quired to respond promptly to every summons
at the front door. Can't you stop this?

CALLING THE COWS.

But, surely, twas no harm at all
To stop minute at the plow
And E=ten to her milking call:
"Co-Boss-Co!'
1t sounded SO
Across the yellow-tasseled corn.
Surely, the man was never born
Who would not leave his team and come
To help her drive the cattle home
The old folk lived across the hill,
But, surely, twas no harm at all
To kiss her, while the fields were still
A-list'ning to her milking call:
''Co-Boss-Cor'
1t sounded so,
1t made the tardy robin start
The squirrel bent the leaves apart
To see US two a-walking down
Toward the sleepy little town.
don't know how, don't know why,
But, surely, twas no harm at all;
The stars were in the summer sky
Before the cattle reached their stall,
s'Co-Boss-CO!"
1t rings on so.
The moon, from off his great white shield,
Has tossed it back into the field,
And still the whispering echoes come
And follow me, a-walking home.

1t is self-help that makes the man, and man
making is the aim which the Almighty has
everywhere impressed upon creetion. 1t is
thrift by which self-help for the masses depend-
ent upon labor is principally made effective.
For them thrift is the symbol and the instru-
ment of independence and Of liberty, indispen-
sable condit. .ons of all permanent human good
ness But thrift is also the mother Of wealth,
and here comes the danger into view, for wealth
is the mother Of temptation and leads many Of
its possessors into a new form of slavery more
subtle and not less debasing than the old. From
this slavery may all lands and especially all
lands of the English tongue, hold themselves for

A Cause Whose Standard Reflects Nothing
But Glory.
II have right to express my opin-
ion, and the right in common with
every other human being, and | am
willing to give to every human being
the right that / claim for myself. Re-
publicanism says that out upon the
great intellectual sea there is room
for every sail; republicanism says that
in the intellectual air there is room
enough for every wing. Republican
ism means Justice in politics. Repub-
licanism means progress in civilization.
Republicanism means that every man
shall be an educated patriot and gen.
tleman. And want to say to you to-
day that the republican party is the
best that ever existed. / want to say
to you to-day that it is an honor to be-
long to 1t. 1t is an honor to have be-
longed to it for twenty years; it is an
honor to belong to the party that elect
ed Abraham Lincoln president. And
let me say to you that Lincoln was the
greatest, the best, the purest the
kindest man that has ever sat in the
presidential chair. 1t is an honor to
belong to the republican party that
gave four million of men the rights OF
freemen; it is an honor to belong
to the party that broke the shackles
from four million of men, women
and children. 1t is an honor to
belong to the party that declared
that bloodhounds were not the mis-
sionaries Of civilization. 1t is an honor
to belong to the party that swore that
this is nation forever, one and indi-
visible. 1t is an honor to belong to
the party that elected Z. S. Grant
president of the United Stares. 1t Is
an honor to belong to the party that
issued thousands and thousands of mil
lions of dollars in promises-that is
sued promises until they became as
thick as the withered leaves of win
ter; an honor to belong to the party
that issued them to put down rebel
lion; an honor to belong to the party
that put it down; an honor to
belong to the party that had
the moral courage and honesty
to make every one of the prom
ises, made in war, in peace as good as
shining, glittering gold. And 1 tell
you that if there is another life, and If
there is day Of Judgment, all you
need to say upon that solemn occasion

sW'The only democrats who can
truthfully say they are in favor of q
tariff for revenue only are the senators
who have been speculating in sugar

Many of the strongest democratic

that they would prefer the Mckinley

-BOne of the most remarkable in
stances of distance lending enchant-
ment to the view may be seen in the
operations of the democratic politicians
of to-day, how they are all together
and yet widely separated. The leaders
are on land. the followers all at sea.
.EWith the government revenues
for the fiscal year eighty million dol
lars less than the expenditures and

country is getting an "object lesson"

Many bitter lotion is made pal

highly probable that in the many
heavy increases in the dutiable list
whereby the elements of protection
were made quite prominent, the sugar

much to do with sweetening these
much abused tariff rates into a palat-
able condition for some of the free

sick and would not otherwise be able
to take the nauseating draught. We
would like to hear from Brother Mills

SIGNS OF lUNACY.
Failipgs Which Are Manifest In Free
Trade Democrats.

Failipgs Which Are Manifest In Free
Trade Democrats.
One Of the distinctive marks OF
lunacy is that the subject becomes es-
tranged from those who are and have
been the nearest personal friends-the
husband towards the wife; the father
towards the son, etc. By this freak Of
insanity we are called to notice some
thing equally strange in persons of
sound mind who are possessed of that
strange theory known as free trade,
which in its operations produces re-
suits very much the same as insanity,
for the free trader in the United States
yearns and desires foreign instead of
manufactures but encourages foreign
manufactures. He withholds from the
home producer and patronizes the for
eign producer He beholds the wheels
of commerce standing still at home,
while he halls the coming of a foreign
ship. He laughs to scorn the idle work
men in the streets of his own city and
sends his money to buy the Industries
of employed workmen in England.
Such are the tendencies of free trade.
While it cannot be classed as a hal
lucination or lunacy, they who believe
in IL can be classed as un-American, as
unpatriotic and as deserving the con-
demnation of all the industrial people
