suit in throwing more than million
non-producing wage-workers out of
work, reducing their capacity to pro-
duce and consume, and eventually
driving many of them to the farm,
where they in turn will be active
competitors in the production of farm
crops.
We of the United States consume
ninety per cent. of all our agricultural
products; the ten per cent. which we
annually export more than supplies the
whole foreign demand. If we double
this export we will reduce the price
very greatly. 1t would require but a
slight decrease of the consumption in
our own country to increase this pro-
portion of exports to twenty-five or
even thirty per cent of our total prod
uct- Should this come to pass the

they had to travel in Indian file, and so
rough that only practiced riders could
have traversed it at all. Yet, in spite
of all dangers and difficulties, the hearts
of the fugitives were light within them,
for every step increased the distance
between them and the terrible despot-
ism from which they were flying.

CHAPTER V.
THE AvENGING ANGELS.

All night their course lay through in
tricate defiles and over irregular and
,rock-strewn paths More than once
they lost their way, but Hopes init
mate knowledge of the mountains en-
-abled them to regain the track once
more. When morning broke, a scene
of marvellous though savage beauty
lay before them. In every direction
the great snow-capped peaks hemmed
them in. peeping over each others
shoulders to the far horizon. So steep
were the rocky banks on either side of
them that the larch and the pine
seemed to be suspended over their
heads, and to need only gust of wind
to come hurting down upon them.
Nor was the fear entirely an illusion,
for the barren valley was thiclxly
strewn with trees and powders which
had fallen in similar manner. Even
as they passed, great rock came thun-
-dering down with hoarse rattle which
woke the echoes in the silent gorges,
and startled the weary horses into a
gallop.
As the sun rose slowly above the
eastern horizon, the caps of the great
mountains Lit up one after the other,
like lamps at festival, until they
were all rudy and glowing. The mag
nifcent spectacle cheered the hearts
of the three fugitives and gave them
fresh energy. At wild torrent which
swept out of a ravine they called
halt and watered their horses, while.
they partook of a hasty breakfast.
Lucy and her father would fain have
rested longer, but jefferson Hope was
memorable. They will be upon our
track by this time he said. Every
thing depends upon our speed. Once
safe in Carson, we may rest for the re-
smainder of our lives"
During the whole of that day they
struggled on through the defles, and
By evening they calculated that they
were more than thirty miles from their
enemies. At night time they chose

WOOL AND FARMERS.
Political Sheep Rot as Peddled Out - Or
Farmers by the Wilson Bill

Farmers by the Wilson Bill
Speaking of the result of allowing
wool from Australia, South America,
Turkey and South Africa free import
privileges, Mr.. Burrows, in his speech
of January Q. 1894, gave the following
graphic picture:
SIN the case of the American wool
grower it is not within his power to
reach the conditions, if such q step
was desirable, which would enable him
to successfully compete with the for
eign producer. High-priced lands, q
rigorous climate. American wages and
the cost of transportation offer an ir-
resistible barrier to the successful
prosecution of this industry in the
United States under free trade
"How can our flock masters contend
with Australia in an open market
where 900, 000.0 600 pounds of wool are
produced annually from fiocks grazing
on lands which are rented for penny
an acre year? Or with the 400, 000, 900
pounds of annual production in South
America, where lands are free and
labor commands only cents day? Or
with Russia's $4,000, 900 pounds pro-
duced with Is cents daily labor? Or
with South Africa, Turkey and Asia,
where 10 cents day is the highest rec
ompense awarded in this industry?
Under free trade these countries
could put their wool down in our mar
kets at price less than the cost of
production here, and the consequence
would be the complete destruction of
this great and growing industry in the
United States. This would be attend
ed with the sacrifice of Al, 000. 900 sheep,
in which 1000, 600 farmers have invest
ed 500, 900, 900 in capital, and the aban-
Comment of extensive ranches with all
their valuable improvements. 1t is idle
to contend that with free wool this in
dustry could survive.
''Our farmers are too intelligent to
be deceived, and they are already sell
ing their focks or driving them to the
slaughter pen in the hope of saving
something from the general wreck
which is sure to follow. ] regret that
time and space forbid the presentation
of protests in my hands, from thirty
four states and territories, against the
contamination of this atrocious out
rage. Yet this would probab fall now
on deaf ears; but the time is not far
distant when they will be heard. The
gentleman from West Virginia Mr..
wilson,, in his speech of yesterday.

Industrial Developments Under the Pre-
tective Policy.

Industrial Development Under the Pre-
tsctive Policy.
Under the Inspiration of our pro-
tective policy there has been an indus
trial development in this country that
has no parallel in history. Under its
provisions, and by virtue of its foster
ing care, a traveller has been lighted
from New York to st. Louis by the
furnaces along the line. 1t has built
half a dozen trans-coDtinental rail-
ways and developed system reaching
to every state. county and almost every
hamlet in the land. Within ten years
this system has reduced the cost of
transportation of farm products more
than one-half, as q general average.
Nearly every locality has seen in
dustries of various kinds spring into
existence as If by magic. We have be-
come a great workshop, and millions
of intelligent laborers. employed under
better conditions than in any other
country on the face of the earth, have
furnished to the farmers of this land .
home market for their every product.
The farmers of the country have
learned, especially during recent
years, that the well paid, intelligent
wage workers consume more and pay
better prices for their products, and
paw these prices right at the farmers
door, than they can obtain by ship
ping abroad to the poorly paid and
half starved laborers of other coun-
tries The farmers in our northwest
know that in nearly every village,
certainly in every small city, they
have from one to many of these
factories. and that the laborers therein
receiving, as they do. from one
and half to two and half
dollars per day can consume a
considerable portion of their farm
produce. They know that besides
these local factories are the immense
hives of industry in the eastern and
New England states; that this army of
millions of workers, none of which
under present conditions are produc-
ers of farm products, are all consum-
ers ready and willing to take abund-
antly and for good prices.
These farmers have learned that it
Is better to sell at home and in their

where the poverty of the people is such

hid them from his view.
He walked for a couple of miles
through one ravine after another with
out success, though from the marks
upon the trees, and other indications,
he Judged that there were numerous
bears in the vicinity. At last, after
two or three hours fruitless search, he
was thinking of turning back in de-
spair, when, casting his eyes up
ward, he saw a sight which sent a
thrill of pleasure through his heart.
On the edge of jutting pinnacle,
three or four hundred feet above him,
there stood a creature somewhat re-
sembling a sheep in appearance, but
armed with pair of gigantic horns.

The Distinction.

The difference between hand-wrought

~ is regarded by most women as the
difference between an art and an in
dustry, and each is valued accordingly
The machine work, of course, ap-
proaches nearer to the model OF exac-
ton in execution, but it entirely lacks
the impress of refinement and individ-
uality of its creator, to which whatever
artistic value handwork may possess Is
due. There are vulgar souls who value
such work solely because of its greater
cost and because it can not be afforded
by many, but there are as certainly

Democratic Tactics In the Handling
Pensions Matter.

Democratic Tactics In the Handling o.
Pensions Matter.
Not long since the Dayton (O.) Jour-
nal, published an article of special in
terest to the veterans of this country
1t was to the effect that Commissioned
of Pensions Lochren, in the pursuit of
his methods of administering that of
fee. had employed the democratic
postmasters of the country as spies
upon pensioners.
This article has been extensively re-
published throughout the country, and
as yet has not been denied either in
congress or by the commissioner him
self. 1t is known to be fact that
members of congress and others in
Washington have direct and positive
evidence of the facts stated in tho
article.
1t seems small business for the COM
missioner of pensions, and equally
small work for even democratic post
master, to spy upon each of the vet
Grams whose mail is received at his Of
fee, and to advise whether in his opin-
ion they are entitled to the pension
which they receive. There are sup
posed to be medical examining boards,
as well as other legal methods, to in
vestigate all such cases Instead of
that. however, it seems that every man
who has a democratic commission as
postmaster is supposed to have med
zeal and judicial qualification sufficient
to enable him u pass upon the phys
ical condition of any pensioner in the
United States 1t is high time this
matter was ventilated in congress and
