LORE. THE WANDERER.



AT my threshold stands guest;
Shall |. dare ], bid him enterP
Ills the very dead of winter;
Snowy roads his feet have pressed;
lnhospitably | wait,
Trembling, still hesitate.
With his wings he wells his face,
And glory half divine
Like nimbus seems to shine
Round him, making bright the place.
Cold the night, and yet stand,
On the latch hating hand.
What if should bid him come.
And with him should enter Woe?
For It's whispered, well we know,
That the pair together roam:
And who welcomes Love, they say,
Lets in Woe, who stays Away.
Yet-the night is very chill
Love is shiyerlng with the cold;
Ills, mayhap, Il fable old
That he bringeth tears and i'll.
Sure maiden's heart were hard
Thus to keep the entrance barred.
Hark | hear his piteous moan,
Welcome, Love, the house is thine,
Shelter, fire and meat and wine
Welcome, Love, and take thine own.
And if with thee enter Woe,
Then, i'll sootb, il must be so!

In small New England village there
lives a man named Jenkins Sanderson,
whose enormous, ungainly figure and for
bidding expression of countenance seem
to belle his real gentleness and good ma
ture and make him an object of distrust
and sometimes even of horror to stran-
gers. His wife is thin, prim old lady,
the embodiment of neatness and exceed
ingly quiet in her manners She has a
serene, placid face, which is not often
agitated by smiles and still more rarely
ruff1ed by frowns.
She was taking tea one summer after
noon with neighbor who had new
summer boarder, lady of hysterical
tendencies, who boosted of the extreme
constituencies of her nervous organiza-
ton " Several other worthy DANES, res
idents of the village, were participants
in this mild festivity.
AS the guests were seated around the
table, the summer boarder CHANGED to
look out of the window and saw Jen-
kins Sanderson approaching the house
with message for his wife. 1t was the
summer boarder's first sight of him
"Oh, mercy on usP she exclaimed in
shrill dismay, dropping her teacup, with
a CHATTER. ''Just seeI Who's that awful
looking man coming up the path2 He
has frightened me almost out of my
wits''
The embarrassment of the other
guests was painful for moment but
no longer. Mrs. Sanderson gazed calmly
out of the window and then turned her
mild glance upon the historical board
er. "Why, ma am, =" she said tranquil
ly, that is my good husband He is an
awful looking man, but God made
him P'-Youth's Companion.

waiting For the Lower Duties.

On Feb. 1, at the port of New York,
there were 1,9O8,274 pounds of wool
cloths, valued at $1,250,029, and 1922
829 square yards of wooden dress goods,
worth 81 1889 OFT, waiting for the Wilson
bill to become law, so as tocompete with
the product of the American mills and
reduce the value of American labor.
The fear of free trade in wool caused
a decrease of 2, 225, 1916 in the number of
sheep in the United States last year and
total loss of $36, 1923, 1874 in the value of
all our hocks. In this connection it is
interesting to note that on Feb. l there
were %, 669, 914 pounds of foreign wool
waiting in bond at New York alone for
the remission of the duty so that it can
rush in and help to glut the wool market
and hasten the ruin of the American
farmers.
Wrapper tobacco to the extent of
5000, 99S pounds, worth 81, 1877, 118, and
1921 $3.50 pounds of other leaf tobacco,
worth 81, 976, 1874, were lying in bond at
New York, Feb. 1, waiting for lower du-
ties.
Nearly 26,OOO,OO0 pounds of foreign
salt were stored in bond, Feb. /, at New
York alone. When this is admitted free
of duty, it will not be of much use to the
sheep farmers whose stock is being
killed off by the free traders.

Duck Night at Ewell,s.

Duck night at Ewell's store down or
the Virginia coast near the North Caro-
lima line is locally famous in the duck
ing season as the special night in the
week when the storekeeper is at home tc
the duck hunters of the region. Ewell
buys ducks of the hunters paying foI
the game in goods from his store and
shipping his purchases to an up coast life
saving station, whence they find their
way to the markets of Baltimore, Phila-
delphia and New York.
AS Ewell waits behind his counter
with lantern the duckers, rude look
ing fellows of the beach comber type,
drop in one by one and sit round in the
gloom. Ewell hangs the game in cold
room at the rear of the store and credits
each QUICKER with the agreed value Of
his ducks. AS each transaction is made
the QUICKER recalls something that he
needs from the merchants stock, and
when he has received the article the
price is debited against his credit. The
QUICKER then relapses TO the nearest bar
rel or box and waits until some other
needed article shall occur to his mind
He then makes the new demand upon
the merchant has a new debt placed
against his credit and again sinks back
into the gloom.
After fully two hours of this sort of
thing those who wish the balance of
their credit paid in cash receive their
dues, and everybody cautiously repairs
to hollow tree hard by, where moon
sinners from over the North Carolina
line are waiting with fiery article of
untaxed liquor, and the heart of the
QUICKER is made glad. Philadelphia

We wonder if free trade congressman
ever attend divine service. If so, do they
ever listen to the reading of the Scrip
tures2 1t is certain that they do not heed
them. Let us refresh the free trade
memory by quotation from Matthew,
chapter II, beginning with the twenty
fourth verse:
And when they were come to Capernaum
they that received tribute money came to Pc
ter and said, Doth not your Master pay trib-
ute2''
He saith, YES" And when he was come
into the house Jesus prevented him, saying:
What thinkest thou, Simon? OF whom do
the kings of the earth take custom or tribute
of their own children or of strangers?'
Peter saith unto him, ''Of strangers"
Jesus saith unto him, ''Then are the children
free"
Thus did Jesus determine in favor of
protection. Only by the taking of cas-
toms duties or tribute from the strangers
were ''the children free. The inference
is that the direct taxation incidental to
free trade or "a tariff for revenue only"
rendered ''the children" slaves 1t will
be the duty of the people to prevent
those who favor such system fro.l COM
ing ''into the house" of representatives
after the next election. Under protec-
ton only 'are the children free"

apparent that it has become an ''object
lesson" to the people that is equally
instructive as the mischievous and de-
structive free trade Wilson bill.
Men are asking everywhere through
out the country if this can be the party
that is in charge of the national admin
istration-a party that with so large
majority is unable to govern itself.
What then can be expected of its ma
tional administration? Setting aside all
questions of free trade or protection,
there are thousands Of men who voted
in 1892 to elect those who are now in
power who are now positively afraid for
their country.
They reason, and they reason rightly,
that if the leaders of this party, which
has SO large majority, are unable to af-
ford protection for itself, into what de-
plorable condition must the country fall
when left in such hands. These good
people forget, however, that the MAORI
ty does not represent party of protec-
ton, but that it is against protection and
in favor of a policy of prostration.
Hence its maladministration in congress
is but natural part Of such policy

81. 75s. 4s7. nos $50, me, 7o6, 57e

Totals $44 75S, 49,, Jos $50, T76 796, $40
Under the present administration the
country has sustained a loss exceeding
81 200, 100000 during each and every
month, and the greater is the monthly
loss the more we have of the free trad
ers. During February it amounted to
almost g, 900, 900, 900, whereas 10 months
ago the loss of trade was represented
only by an insignificant, comparatively,
800 900 900. This total loss of $12 000,
600 900 in II months represents loss of
$40 for every one of 70,000,00 persons.
1t covers the shrinkage in the buying
and selling of goods, the shrinkage in
quantity, the shrinkage in values. 1t
represents the great loss to labor through
the absence of the manufacture and han
ding of goods. 1t represents the great
loss to transportation companies and
their employees. 1t represents the loss
to farmers for the products they have
sold.
But this loss of $12, 00O, 900, 900 does not
by any means represent the aggregate of
loss. 1t does not represent the shrinkage
in the value of real estate, nor the shrink
age in the value of stocks and other in
vestments, nor the shrinkage in the value
of corn, wheat, wool, oats and other crops
that farmers have on hand and unsold and
which have not yet passed through the
ordinary channels of trade. 1t does not
represent the decrease in the value of
iron, silver or other mines. 1t does not
represent last years loss of $81s, 1885,
495 in the value of the live stock on
the farms. 1t does not represent the
nonpayment of interest on mortgages,
the foreclosures, the anxiety, worry
or vexation of spirit to the poor
strugglers who have been ruined.
1t does not represent the agony of those
who have been unemployed nor the hard
ships of their families, and it does not
represent the terrible modification that
has been experienced by many who have
been brought face to face with starva-
ton.
These things are incidental to the
$12, 000, 900, 900 loss of trade. The men
tai suffering cannot be estimated by a
money value, although it is direct con-
sequence thereof and direct result of
the mere existence of the present free
trade administration and its policy Of
prostration. Surely the United States
senate win not permit such conditions
to be prolonged. America Economist.

Something serious doth remain.
