American houses who were previously

every reason to hope that the advan-

branch of trade. Despite the severity

Speaking broadly, it may be said
that nearly every branch of English
manufacture suitable for the American
markets will either directly or indi-
rectly receive stimulus from the new
tariff. The metal trades have already
greatly improved since the tariff be-
came law, and makers of tinplates, of
which America is our largest customer,
are looking forward to brisk business
in the near future.-London Fame.

Have the teakettle boiling for you at
certain hour. Take a newspaper,
fold down the middle, pin two of the
ends behind and put it over your head
like a big hood, letting it come well
over your face in front.
Rub your face thoroughly with any
good cold cream, sit down by the
kitchen range. your paper bag over
your head andyour nose as close to the
spout of the boiling kettle as you dare
to. Don't tempt fate too far, or you
may burn your face. Keep turning
first one check and then the other, so
that all parts of the face may be
steamed equally. Keep this up for
fifteen or twenty minutes or until you
have perspired freely. Now don't rub
this grease and perspiration off with a
towel, but take a silver-bladed knife
and gently scrape the debris away,
even as a man scrapes whislxers from
his features.
After every bit is removed battle the
face with warm water in which few
drops of sweet-scented benzoin have
been poured. If you are going out
doors dash the face with cold water to
prevent chapping, but if you are going
to remain at home rub little cold
cream under the eyes, over the eye

are the quarters in which the telltale

Democratic Legislation Ruins an Impar-
tnnt Industry.

tant Industry.
A remarkable circular has been Is
sued giving the status of the sheep
production of Missouri for about a
dozen years past, which contains fig
ures of vital interest to every resident
of the state. This document shows
that there was a steady increase in
the number of sheep owned in the
state on to 1882, when the number
reached its highest point, and then a
reduction set in. In 1880 there were
l 1856, $50 sheep owned in Missouri, and
| 1.T9s.625 in 1882. At that point the
downward movement began. The num-
Der in 1884 was 1,542. 514, and in 1859
the total had shrunk to 1900 Then
turn upward took place, and there
had been a steady growth in the num-
Der afterward to 1893 That is, there
was an increase to 1882, then a de-
crease to 1889, and afterward an in
crease again to the close of 1898, the
latest date given.
What were the causes of these f1uc-
tuations? They were due to changes in
the rates of duties on wool. Under

ample for protection, there was a
steady and marked increase in sheep,
and this duty continued on to 1888,
when it was reduced in the tariff re-
vision of that year. That cut was re-
sponsible for the shrinkage in the num-
Der of sheep which.has been mentioned.
In 1890, in the Mckinley law, the wool
duties were increased, and that ex-
plains the growth in sheep afterward
unto and including 1892. This connec-
ton beween adequate duties and de-
crease in sheep has been SO close and
persistent that it must be more than a
mere coincidence. The former in each
case must stand to the latter in the
relation of cause to effect.
The figures which have been given
are obtained from the auditors report,
and are therefore trustworthy as well
as official. They are not partisan ex-
cept in the sense that truth and logic
are partisan. They will make hosts of
votes all over the state f.r the repub-
lican party. If the 10 per cent re-
ductlon of the wool duties in 1883 dealt
such a serious blow to the sheep farm
ers of Missouri as the figures show
that is. it reduced the number of sheep

the value 81, 500, 695-what will the to-

COMING TO POSSESS THE LAND.
London Paper Says British VIII Take Our
Market Under the Wilson Bill.


Market Under the Wilson Bill.
We would specially urge our readers
who lay themselves out for foreign
trade to turn their attention to the
new tariff bill just passed by the United
States. which has already become
operative. The fact that McKinle yism
has hit British manufacturers and ex-
porters very hard indeed, and in some
instances, where the United States
has been their only market, has vir-
tually ruined them. cannot be denied;
but this is no reason why manufac-
turers who are still prepared to do a
considerable business with the United
States should allow cold water to be
thrown upon their anticipations of the
future. 1t has become the fashion of
late for n certain class of critics to
deride American business and all
things American, presumably. be-
cause we have been afflicted for
a time with Mckinleyism. Now
McKinleyism has completed its reign
OF tinllering, at least for the present,
there is an opportunity once more to
go in ard possess the land. Disap-
pointment exists, there is no doubt,
that the intentions of the promoters
of the Wilson bill should have been so
ruthlessly set on one side, but Eng
lishmen trading with the states will
lind 1t proftless task to discuss the
political morality of American legis-
lators. On the principle. therefore
that half loaf is better than none,
we would advise them to examine the
tariff for themselves, and see that
they use every opportunity in their
power to secure the business which
undoubtedly awaits them in certain
branches of the trade. New markets
are not quite so easily discovered as
they were during the easy-going days
of our fathers, and we cannot afford
to be so Independent or impatient as
they were accustomed to be when OBJ
stacles were thrown across their path.
1t should be borne in mind that, after
all. the new tariff is somewhat re-
marlxa BILE for such a cold-blooded pro-
tectionist country as America. 1t is
noteworthy that the Wilson tariff
shows reduction all around.
Few English firms will benefit more
from the new tariff than those engaged
in the Sheffield trades, and. although
they have been under a cloud for a
long time past in connection with
American trade. they are preparing

TENTED FACTS.
Press Notes on the Effects Of the German
lied Wilson Bill.

Press Notes on the Effects of the German
lied Wilson Bill.
The average decrease in the number
of hands employed in the whole
United States for the first six months
of 1894 was 80 per cent; the decrease
in the amount of wages earned As per
cent; the decrease in the output Of fac
torieS44 per cent
The lumber dealers of Leslie county,
KY, are said to have lost at least $780,
600 owing to the German tariff. Farm
hands in the same state who used to
receive Sl.50 per foot for sawn logs de-
livered at Frankfort are now getting
from 75 cents to 81.
The Wilson tariff promises to cut
down the profits of the California fig
growers. The foreign crop is heavy
and the reduced duty is causing heavy
importations. Receipts to date show a
marked increase as compared with the
same time last year. and prices are
rapidly falling.
The Ohio Falls iron works at Louis
vile have reduced wages from 25 to so
per cent. Puddlers who received s24
per week in 1892 now receive about
$40 for the same work. The New
Albany wooden mills are working a
small force on a scale of wages re-
duced from % to 35 per cent
The farmers of eastern Michigan are
complaining that under the new tariff
Canadian farmers can bring cabbages
across the line without duty and sell
in competition with themselves, while
the Michigan farmers find duty of %
per cent confronting them if they
choose to take their cabbages into
Canada.
The closing of eastern manufacto-
ries and the general depression of bust
ness due to tariff tinkering have large
ly reduced the consumption of Califor-
MIA fruits and other luxuries of the
Pacific coast, and with a reduced con-
sumption there has been a great re-
duction in the prices of California
prunes, almonds, dried, preserved and
canned fruits.
In North Carolina the payroll of
large manufacturing companies is SO
per cent less than in 1892. A factory
in Carthage has done no work since
the passage of the new tariff bill. A
lumber firm has discharged 25 per cent
of its hands and expects to close.
Wages are being cut everywhere. The
price of farming products is lower
than ever before known.

There the sheep-shed, long and wide,
There the creek that tossed It's foam

There the sohooihouse by the lane
Where learned my A b C's:
There the clearing where the grain
Nodded to the summer breeze.

Many years have fallen deep,
And 1 only see him now,
Only hear him, in my sleep
And the old home does not seem

Only when 1 sleep and dream
Dreams of JOY, to wake in tears.
When upon the bed of death

And my slowly ebbing breath
Comes with labored sob and sigh

That my last days work is done,
