BRIGHT YOUNG GIRL.
A WELLESLEY COLLEGE STU
DENT WHO TALKS TARIFF.
An Example to Be Encouraged Among
Students In Other Colleges
Should Understand What Involves the
Labor of the Men.

In the gymnasium of Wellesley col
Iege, March u, 1894, the debating
society called the Agora, which is
composed of select members of the
three upper classes, and of which Miss
Laughlin was president, held an open
meeting which was largely attended.
The society resolved itself into the
United States senate, the vice-presi-
dent. Miss Elva III. Young of Spring
field, Mass. in the chair, and trans.
acted business after the manner of
that dignified body Taking up house
report s,o64 (the Wilson tariff bill as
it then stood), it's provisions, and in
cidentaily the tariff question in gen.
eral were discussed by Miss Cecilia
Dickie. '95, of Truro. Nova Scotia,
who was recognized as 1.-The senator
from Wisconsin," and by Miss Bertha
G. jackson, "a, of Marlborough,
Mass, the senator from Indiana"
on the democratic side, and by
Miss Annie Hamblin Peaks, 30,
of Dover Maine, 'the senator
from Massachusetts,. and Miss
Gail Hill Laughlin. '94, of Portland,
Maine, 1.-THE senator from Rhode Is
land, on the republican side. All of
their speeches would have done credit
to the senators whom they assumed
to represent The speakers used no
manuscript and scarcely referred to
notes, and all of them spoke with
fine elocution.
The speech of Miss Laughlin at
tracted far more than local attention.
and won commentator from tariff
experts and distinguished men.
Miss Gail Fl. Laughlin was born in
Robbinston, Maine, May z, 1868, and
is of Scotch and Scotch-Irish descent.
In 1871 she moved to Penn broke, where
her father died when she was only z
years old.
In November, 1876, she moved to
St Stephen. N. B. Her stay there
was series of word. battles on be-
half of the advantages of her native
land. In August, 1880, she moved to
Portland, her present home. The
campaign of that year marked the be-
ginning of an intelligent interest in
politics and real nowledge of party
issues.
In 1886 Miss Laughlin graduated
from the Portland high school
with first honors. Within a week
after graduation she was at work
both for her living and for the
money to enable her to secure the col
1ege education for which she longed.
After four years, during the last year
of which she was head bookkeeper for
Charles E. Jose &c Co. of Portland
Miss Laughlin entered Wellesley
One of her first acts there was the
formation, in connection with her
friend, Miss Maud Thompson of New
York, of political club, now the
Agora, before which the following
speech was delivered. Of this society
Miss Laughlin has been president
throughout her college course. Dur

and then they saw he had something In

He came slowly to shore as he was
very tired. He had been down to the
very bottom Of the river and fished up
the doll which the little girl had in her
hand when she fell over, and now ne

good In Tray to save the doll as to
save the child, but the people laughed
at him, except the little girl Tray

Safe Sailing In Deep Waters.
For waters of considerable depth and
breadth, where the wind often raises Il
nasty sea-" 1t Is better to have boats
of considerable power and sea-going
qualities. 1t Is by no means necessary
to procure an expensive cutter, with
lead keel and elaborate rigging. A
boy who has not great deal Of money
to spare can get II good boat. For In
stance, there Is the famous BarncGat
sneak-boX This boat is suitable for
either shallow or deep water. She has
no depth to speak OF, but she Is broad
Of beam, and has, therefore. n large
amount of initial stability" as II Is
called. Initial stability Is always larg-
or In wide boats than In narrow ones.
The racing shell Of the oarsmen for
instance has hardly any initial stabili-
ty ut all. The sneak-boX has q spoon
shaped bow, and this causes her to
skim over the tops Of the waves in
stead Of cutting through them. She
makes Il great splaShing when she has
the sea against her, but she sails like Il
ghost. 1t was from this peculiar tyne
Of craft that the celebrated designer
Mr.. Nat Ierreshom got the idea of the
remarkable bow which he put on the
Gloriana. That form Of bow became
highly popular, and most of the racing
yachts built since the appearance Of
the Gloriana have Ii, or a modification
Of 1t. The extremely shallow fn-keeI

Little Archie Cowley of Dellwood,
Mimi, is probably the youngest rail
way manager in tho world. Archie
Is but seven years Old, but he controls
an entire electrical road. 1t Is true that
the road is but one-tcnth of a mile
In length, nevertheless 1t is fitted out
just as completely as any road that is
run by grown persons. Archie is presi-
dent, secretary, conductor, brakeman
and motorman, while his sisters and
playmates are the passeng 'rs. The road
was built for Archie by his father,
who Is st. Paul banker.
There are three cars on the road
one motor car and two passenger cars.

study law.
In the course of her remarks Miss
Laughlin said:

cratic party is dividing the people in
to consumers and producers. We are

Republican policy was crystalized
in the Mckinley bill. True to the
principles Of the protective tariff, this
bill admits free all products which
can not be produced in this country,
except luxuries, and puts duty suf-
ficent to measure the difference in
the cost of production on all articles
which are or can be produced to
this country. Nor is the Mckinley
bill a return to the old war tariff.
Those who claim it is are guilty of
the grossest ignorance or the most
culpable perversion of fact The
average rate of duty in the Mckinley
bill is lower than that of any other
protective tariff act in this century
except the compromise tariff of 1S33
lower than the free trade tariff of 1896
The Mckinley bill puts on the free list
SIS per cent of our imports, puts an
average tariff of As per cent on the re-
naming +5 per cent, making an aver

our imports, making an average duty

Against American Cheese.


The editorial staff of the New York
Herald has begun to write school bow
essays on the tariff, brought about by
the possibility of the editors being un-
able to enjoy such luxuries as English
Cheshire cheese or choice Duth Edams
as cheaply as they can buy wholesome
American cheese. Their lament is
that the specific duty together with
the transatlantic freight in one OF
the foreign steamship lines, for
which Mr.. James Gordon Bennett
is always endeavoring to secure
freight at the expense of American
shipping, will prevent the general con.
sumption of English Cheshire cheese
and choice Dutch Edams, because
they will be far too high for the
pocketbooks of most Americans"
This very fact. preventing their
general consumption here. will
naturally create a greater demand for
American cheese among cheese eaters.
Consequently, while it is true that "the
government will derive but a trifiing
revenue" it is not true that 'the
American farmer will derive no bene.
fit" Any tariff that prohibits the
importation of foreign goods increases
the demand for similar American
goods, and this is the aim and object
of protective tariff. The theories of
the Herald's schoolboy economist are
not as good us his appetite for English
Cheshire cheese and Dutch Edams.
We can hardly blame them for this
appetite for foreign delicacies, as it is
the result of the teachings promul-
gated by Mr.. James Gordon Bennett
in his anti American paper.

Industrial Progress of chin.

Through the bureau of American re-
publics of the department of state we
learn that the Chilean government has
vigorously taken up the question of
industrial progress and seeks the CO.
operation of the local agricultural,
mining and manufacturing societies.
In order to augment the productive
manufacturing power of Chilli, the
Society for the Promotion of Manu-
features has suggested to the govern
ment that the sum of 5000, 600 be dis
bursed annually, for number of
years as premiums for the establish
ment of certain industries, to be di-
vided as follows:

Each car is five feet long and two feet
wide. 1t is not trolley road. In
stead of n trolley wire there Is a long
strip of iron, which lies between the
tracks and supplies the electricity which
makes the cars move along On the
motor car is the rheoStat, which Is an
arrangement for controlling the cleo
trio current. BY using 1t Archie can
make his cars move rs fast or as slow
as he pleases. On this car also are
the motor and the brake, and also the
reversing switch which makes the cars
move backward.
At one end of the road Is the power
house where the electricity is produced.
The electric current comes from Il
small dynamo, which Is driven by PEE
troleum engine. There Is also shed
where the cars are stored ut night
and in winter time. In the power-house

The electricity pulls you up. Archie
is very proud of his road, and spends
the day carrying his sisters and their
dolls along the road. He can stop any

are several stations, and his sisters get
out Then he takes them up again
when he comes back, and collects make

have very good time riding on the

deal about electricity.

"TRE DEMOCRATIC SURRENDER ,

After triumphs everywhere else the
Republicans have carried the Demo-
cratic House of Representatives.
Their victory there recently involved
some of the most significant of the
long list of confessions which the
Democracy has been compelled to
make. 1t was a confession of many
things that their furious de-
nunciations of Mr.. Reed and the Last
Congress were a gross indignity and
wrong; that the outcries they made
against Mr.. Reeds decisions were
false and insincere; that the principle
he so splendidly proclaimed and vim
dicated lay at the very heart and root
of popular government; that the doc
trine they preached Of the right to
flibuster was dishonest, and that in
arousing prejudice and public clamor
by their protests and appeals they
were partisan demagogues and not
fair minded politicians. They con-
fess, too, that in all their subsequent
opposition to the Reed rules they have
been resisting their true convictions
because they had not the manly cour-
age to avOW an error and to offer
amends. And they confess that they
have been forced into all these con-
fessions by the shameless absenteeism
of their members, who, though they
are forty more than a quorum, are
never present in Washington in suf-
fcient strength to pass contested leg
islation. They have owned the saw
ing grace, not of truth, but Of neces-
sity. Tribune.

Representative Hines of Pennsyl-

persing Coxey's army after it's arriv-
al at Washington. He intends to in
troduce bill appropriating $4,000 to
be expended in improving some of
the country roads in the District of
Columbia. He predicts that less than
$500 of the appropriation will be re-
quired, and that the army will get out
of town so fast that all the rest of the
money will be covered back into the
treasury. Wherever this expedient
of providing work has been tried, it's
effect has been very marked. If there
is one thing that the professional un-
employed who go tramping about the
country do not desire, it is a chance
to work The common sense plan of,
providing not unnecessary work to
offer to them at least is the logical as
well as the quick way to get rid of
them.
