'The blues" the curse of family.
are but form of selfshness The ten
dency to them may be an inheritance,
but the INDUCING in gloom is the mean
est sort of seltishness, for no one can
be comfortable with such spirit in the
house. One can overcome the tendency
by using his will and not allowing him
self to think unpleasant things. The
duty which mankind owes to mankind
requires all humanity to strive for
eheerfulncss. Which is the sunshine to
cheer and warm all human hearts

The tariff measure pending in the SEN
ate at this time is one of the most dis
reputable pieces of patchwork iobbery
that ever disgraced any Legislative body
upon earth. In its present form it is the
work of trusts. The Sugar trust, the Iron
trust the Lead trust, the Coal trust and
the Oil trust, and the Southern, eX-rebel,
bourbon element will push this in
dustry destroyer through if possible.
The products of the South are well pro-
tected in it, rice, sugar, iron, coal, etc,
while northern products and industries
are left out in the cold.
