there is great abundance OF straw.

remarks in advocacy Of the cause.

Land Of the West: though passing brief
The Record of thine age,
Thou hast a name that darkens all
On History'S wide page;
Let all the blasts Of fame ring out
Thine shall be lOudest far:
Let others boast their satellites
Thou hast the morning star.
Thou hast name whose characters
OF light shall ne'er depart;
lis stamped upon the dullest brain,
And warns the coolest heart:
A war-cry hit for any land,
Where Freedom s 20 be Won;
Land of the West; it stands alone
II is thy Washington

Textile Workers In Europe.

A national congress of textile indus
tries was recently held at Roubaix,
France, at which was a delegation from
Burnley, England, representing 49,, 900
English textile workers. Avery interest
ing report has been issued, from which
we gather that the weavers of Manches-
ter earn $6.63 a week on the average
for Sc hours. The spinners average IS. 53,
and girls from IS to 30 years old, 81. 30 to
$3.50. Piecers earn $4.3S, and bobbin
boys, $1.76 to $1.95. In France, in Cam
bresis and the Department Of PAisne, the
weavers arm 49, cents to 194 cents a
day of IA hours. In Germany, in one
large weaving factory of 80, 900 spindles
employing over 1900 hands, which is a
fair example of the other mills, the girls
and women earn equal to $1.45 for the
week Of 66 hours.

The Other End.

An Irishman who served on board a
man-of-war was selected by n of the off
GERS to haul in a towline of considerable
length that was towing over the ~taffrail.
After pulling in 40 or SO fathoms, which
had put his patience severely to proof as
well as every muscle of his arms, he NUT
tered to himself:
"Surely, it's as long as today and to-
morrow! It's a good weeks work for any
five in the ship.
"Bad luck to the leg or the arm it'll
leave at last. What. more of it yet? Och,
murder! the sa's mighty deep, to be surel''
After continuing in a similar strain, and
conceiving there was little probability of
the completion of his labor, he suddenly
stopped short, and addressing the officer
of the watch exclaimed, bad manner
to me, sir, if 1 don't think somebody's cut
off the other end of it!'-London Punch.

A STORY WITHOUT WORDS.
Free Trade Education.


The Republican and the Democratic
voters are studying the lesson Of Demo-
cratic national finance with much more
personal and pecuniary interest than in
1892.
The lesson Of 1898 closes with this
handwriting On the blackboard:
May 4, 1898, to Oct. 3, 1898, with
drawn by the people from national
banks, $37S, 900, 900.
Loans called in by national banks,
$318, OOO, 900.
National banks and other banking in
situations suspending payment in 1893,
585.
Railroad property gone into hands Of
receivers, over 81. 200, 900, 900.
The money lost to thousands of men
and women, representing every form and
grade of labor, estimated by Mr.. David
Wells to be more than a thousand mill
lions of dollars, or more than one-third
the amount of the national debt at the
close of the war.
At no previous time in the history of
the United States have so many people
been out of work.
