was mined here on large scale at one
time and shipped to parts of this coun-
Try and Europe. During Cleveland's
former administration they put it on
the free list, and our mines were closed
up, as we could not compete with the
cheap labor 90 cents per day. of India
During Harrison s administration it was
put at So per cent duty, but before it
took effect they laid in heavy supplies
to last for some time, and now congress
has put it on the free list again. AS it
is, we are in hot water, and nobody is

republican versus Democratic Wages.
Twenty-six Republican states pay an
average of 81. 80 per day in farm wages.
Eighteen Democratic states pay an aver
age Of 81 cents per day in farm wages
This is from report of the department
of agriculture in 1890. Could the south
see their folly in remaining Democratic,
could they only put aside the old Sec
tional feeling, become Republicans,
adopt protection and develop their re-
sources, wages of farm hands would be
as high as in the north, and wages Of
laborers in other industries would be
much higher than now There are vast
opportunities in the south as soon as
they throw off the shackles Of Democ-
racy and free trade. The farm

the other, and when factories are run

hands good wages for their toll

is to the effect that the house we are about

in 1647 by the grandfather of it's pres

in stones throw of the ruins of an old
abbey, and it is from this very abbey that
all the trouble comes. It is reported to be
haunted by the ghost of an old monk, and
its career of crime is laid on the shaved
head of this early and long departed Chris
tian. The part cannot reconcile is why
an old monk who died few hundred
years ago should turn up now to trouble
well behaved people at the end of the nine

-,!Y DEAR FR1END-MeeJ me tonight, Black
Ees.th station, II O'clock sharp. Bring your re-
volyer-may want it. Don't disappoint In
haste, MAX MARKHAM.
This strange epistlc arrived by special
messenger one evening just as I was pre-
pairing to join some friends at theater
party at the Garrick. In one way it was
disappointing, in another pleasant. Mark
esting, and as the drama of life is more
fascinating than the stage of art the prom
ises Of an exciting evening were fairly
good.
The few words in his letter meant to
me another of the many ghost hunts that
we had been so often engaged in together
The command, Bring your revolver, was
not in the least startling or surprising. 1t
was in keeping with the mans character
That was all. He always hunted ghosts
with revolver. 1t was as necessary to
him as holy water would be to a priest
However, obeying Instructions, I slipped
my British bulldog and some cartridges
into my pocket and started for the train.
My friend Markham was one of the most
active members of the Society For Psychic
al Research. He devoted his entire time
to examining the tricks Of pretended me-
'diums, ghosts or noises of any kind in
any part of the country, and yet at heart
he was a spiritualist. He firmly believed
in the communion between the living and
the spirits of the dead. He was a self
elected censor, and in his censorship, al
though he excited the enmity of the spir-
itualists, he was in reality their friend by
his expose of fraud and the relentless way
in which he pulled up weeds of imposture
by the roots. ''There is no subject that
lays itself so open to deception" he used
to say. Because we have proved fraud in
many cases, that does not prove it in all.
1t is my duty to destroy the weeds, lest
they, getting too strong, destroy the
flowers of TRUTH
Max considered me sensitive-a clair
oyant-although only once did I show
him any evidence in that direction, and
that was when he went without me to
