 To the few men who have up to the pres- eut given their adhesion to the Democratic party, but are now contemplating deser- ton from it's ranks and enlistment with the forces of the enemy, we say: Pause and reflect upon the consequences Of the step you are about to take. You know what Radicalism is in the South; you know tho character of it's leaders; you know the elements of which its composed; you know it's history, and you know the regard In which men are held who attach themselves to and become a part of it.
 Stop and think before you become part and parcel of that political party in the South, whose record and history justifes the universal opinion held of it that 1t Is the enemy of law and order, the fomenter of strife between race and race and the malignant antagonist ot Anglo Saxon su- premacy and white mans government. These suggestions may invite other re- factions that will be healthful and profita- ble to those having aspirations for future preferment, which can be granted only at the ballot box.

INFLUENCE OF THE UNITED STATES.
 This is great nation and has strong influence on the other nations of the world This is the home of a republican form or government, and other nations have caught the spirit of freedom and liberty. In the 11S years that the American republic has existed many other nations have cast OH the yoke of monarchy and become repuo- lies. There is France, Switzerland, the Free Congo State, Mexico, the South American repu plies and Hawaii, that have arrayeo themselves on the side of America. The nfi uence of political liberty in America was so strong that it was felt even In kus- sia. The emancipation of the slaves ID the South was followed by the freedom of the serfs in Russia.
 Now that America has greater freedom Of
 trade her example will be followed by other nations. Mexico is our nearest neighoor and will be the first to feel the influence or our example. Already the subject is being agitated there. The Two Republics, pub lshed in the City of Mexico, says: In discussing the merits of low tariff and high tariff the experience of the United States should be given considerable weight There | both systems have been tried. The tarln ID | force the five years preceding 1861 was an extremely low one, and while it is true the  | Federal treasury was not overfowing the peo- | ple were prosperous and contented. With the war of secession came the necessity for greater revenues, and hence high taxes and tar1n | which was increased until 1t eliminated in the
 .McKi finley law. Under the high tariif numer- | ous industries were built up and many colossal | fortunes amassed in the hands of favored in- | diy,duals, but the masses of the people, and | especially the farmers, steadily grew poor and 1 discontented. With the high tariff and as re- | suit of it have come strikes, boycotts, lock-
 outs, riots, widespread dissatisfaction ana
 even threatened anarchy This is so well l understood that in the last National elections
 the people voted overwhelmingly in favor of | tariff reduction. Having tried both the high | and low tariff the American people have de-
 clared unequivocally in favor of the latter; The present tariff is 46 per cent lower than
 Mckinley tariff, and yet the people a1

up this morning. 1 think you will like
her." The lady Of the house was busy in
the kitchen when the back door was gen.
tly touched and a modest, quiet looking
woman stood without. She was admitted
and asked to take seat. After awhile, in
which she was busy with other Things,
the lady of the house said: Come this
way. I'll show you" She led the visitor
out into the shed, pulled down some tubs
and told her to take off her things, and
turning quickly went back into the kitch-

a grand ruction in the shed, and in came
the quiet little woman with eyes ablaze.

IDEAS TO ORDER.
Suggestions Of Every Kind Furnished to
Men Of Profession and Business.


1t has generally been supposed that for
cuteness Of suggestion and for 60 ahead
kinds of business the Yankee Is unequaled.
But Britishers need no longer retain the
notion. Such was the thought of the writer
on perusing the following advertisement
In daily paper recently:
Ideas and suggestions for every kind
of business or profession; titles for novels;
suggestions of all kinds; novelties, strik-
Ing brilliant and successful; money is in
every one Of them. Write to - or call. "
Then he set about discovering the indi-
vidual who is responsible for this an
nouncement. In a suit of handsomely fur
nished rooms near Charing Cross our rep
resentative found "the man of ideas''-a
bright, keen, intellectual individual, with
dark eyes that almost flashed at and
through you.
The reply to our first question as to how
he came to start such an institution was
epigrammatic 1T started itself-that Ia
to say, 1t was one Of my ideas.
And then he went on to say what he did
and tell of the people who made use of his
services.

gestions for articles, payment being small

a suggestion, which was for a series of ar
ticles, has cleared Els by it.
"Novelists, too, come to us when they
are at a loss for a taking title, and that
has much to do with the initial success of

The monkeys intelligence has never

cord fastened with the simplest form Of

break the string or gnaw it In two he will

able him to overcome the difficulty.
