A Bachelor of Maine.
From St. Nicholas,


Hezekiah BEETLE was a bachelor of Maine.
But one morning he departed by a very early
train,
For fuel is so costly" said the frugal Heze-
kiah
Il am forced to find a dwelling where need
not pay for fire"
He took a Decline southwark till to Mexico he
came,
He found there volcano with a most eccen.
trio name,
Ana he built him there a cottage, did this
Hezekiah Bette.
He built it near the summit of Mount Popo-
Catapetl.
Whenever he desired to cook a mutton chop
lie hang it by lengthy string right over
from the top;
From the top of the volcano he would hang it
by a string.
And there, until twas nicely cooked he'd let
his dinner swing.
To get his boiling water he would lower down
a Kettle
Right down into the crater of Mount Popoca-
tapetl;
From the ashes of the mountain he would
light his meerschaum pipe
And he felt as truly happy as a Jolly little
snipe.
But one evening, as it happened, there came
by grizzly bear
And he was much astOnished to see Hezeliab
there;
So he tapped him on the shoulder, this poor
Hezektah Bette,
Who straightway did fall over into Popoca-
tapetl.

Where the Markets Are.

The protection journals, in their bitter
fight against the Wilson bill, are not dis
playing a great deal of judgment. They
resort TO all kinds Of misstatements to de-
ceive those who may not be well informed
in respect to the various features Of the
tariff question. For instance, the New
York Press, in its issue of Thursday, has
the following in reference to Mr.. Cleve-
lands statement that free raw materials
would make it possible for our manufac-
turers to find market for their products
in other countries:
Contention is made that with free raw
materials American manufacturers, ''now
confined, as Mr.. Cleveland observes ito
our own borders" will so expand their
operations as 10 reach foreign markets.
and thus give larger employment to all
laborers. But where are the foreign
markets which may thus be inVadedl
Mr.. Cleveland avoids naming them. He
and his friends have been talking vaguely
about them for several years, but no
specific iuformatio has been supplied up
TO date.
The Bureau of American Republics has
just issued bulletin No 81. II deals
with the republic of Uruguay Under
the head Of commerce and navigation"
it is stated that Uruguay, although she
has a population of only 100000, has a
foreign trade of $4,000, 900 per annum.
OF her exports in 1891, Great Britain took
1887 per cent; France, 1927 per cent
Germany, 5.45 per cent; Spain, 0.s4 per
cent; and the United States, 6.s5 per
cent. OF her imports, 1855 per cent.
came from Great Britain; 1905 from
France; 9.72 from Germany 963 from
Spain, and 4S9 from the United States.
The value OF the merchandise sent
from this country in 1887 to Uruguay was
81, 393,715; in 1888, 81 1887 ,43O; in 1889, So
or, 1888; in 1890, S3,2lO, 1l2, and in 1891,
81, 032, 937.
The value of the exports to Uruguay
from Great Britain was, in 1897 $S,516,-
483; in 1883, s., 62l, $50; in 1889, 81, 72O,-
425; in 1890, 50, 942 ,775, and in 1891 s., $685.
726.
The foregoing is a complete answer to
the protection papers. Uruguay is the
smallest of the South American states.
Nearly all of her imports are from the
countries of Europe-England, France
and Germany. Why should they not be
from the United States2 The most of
them are such manufactured goods as
are produced in the United States. And
what is true respecting the imports of
Uruguay is true of the imports of all the
other South American states, and also of
the states OF Cen raj America.
There is vast commerce in South
America, the greater part of which we
ought to have. We don't get it because
European manufacturers undersell us.
Owing to the fact that England admits
raw materials free her manufacturers
produce articles cheaper than our manu-
facturers. The protection papers should
study the trade statistics of Central and
South America.

Democrats and Their putv.

Congress reassembled on Wednesday,
but neither on that day nor on Thursday
was the House able to transact any bust
ness. The reason was the democra is
lacked quorum and the republicans re-
fused to help them make one, because
they wanted Boutelles Hawaiian resolu-
ton taken up for consideration, and the
were opposed to allowing them
to dictate the subjects for consideration.
1t was expected that the Wilson tariff
bill would be taken up, and it would have
been had the democratic majority been in
a position to control legislation. Being
without quorum they could do nothing,
and two days were lost
The Democratic party is on trial and
democratic congressman must do their
duty if they expect their party to retain
the favor of the people. Democratic men,
bers should not be away from their post
of duty when their presence is necessary.
The opposition is vigilant and active, and
is quick to take advantage of any mis-
takes, or to demonstrate that the demo-
cratic majority are not as careful of the
public interests as they should be.
On Wednesday and Thursday the re-
publicans made a point that win not be
lost upon the people. They got before
the country the fact that two legislative
days were lost because enough democrats
were not attending to their duties to en-
able the House to transact business. The
democratic congressman must do better
than that. They should have been in
their places in the House on Wednesday
when congress reassembled. They may
think the people do not notice such neg
lect of duty. If so, they are mistaken
