THE TARIFF REFoRMER DEFINED.
10 adopt, then, the Technology
of the scientists, tariff reformer is
! rudimentary free trader, the germ
from which the free trader grows,
the egg from which the free trader is
hatched. What the acorn is to the
oak, what the mountain spring is to
the rushing river, what the sucking
colt is to the proud war horse, what
the child is to the man, so is the
nascent tariff reformer to the virile
and thoroughgoing free trader. They
are headed for the same point. The
tariff reformer is not certain of his
footing and keeps his eyes on the
ground in search of the path leading
to commercial independence and
financial freedom, while the free
trader, with the goal in full sight,
walks forward without hesitation,
and without side-tracking in the full
fillment of his beneficent and patri.
otic mission.
He has the advantage of knowing
what he wants and ofpossessing un-
wavering faith that he will get it.
He may be destroyed apparently,
but he comes up smiling after every
encounter. for he knows that time is
on his side, that all the forces of
nature are his allies and that the very
stars in their courses fight for him.
Revolutions do not move backward.
They go forward with the resistless
force of the car of juggernaut, and
those who don't want to be ground
to powder had better get out of the
path of progress. [Applause,
At this time there are millions of
tariff reformers and thousands of
free traders in this Republic. Ma
poleon said that every French SOL
dier carried Marshall's baton in
his knapsack, and every tariff re-
former is a possible, aye, a probable
free trader. The Republicans and
assistant Republicans are acting in
the capacity of incubators and are
Matching radical free traders from
tariff reform eggs so fast that light
ming calculator is needed to count
up the chickens. Laughter.
FAIR WARNING.
Some Of these days when tariff
barons are shorn of their power to
fleece the people and are compelled
to make an honest living, to the mis-
guided Congressional opponents of
this bill they will say: ''We for
give you, for you did not know what
you were doing" Laughter. The
tariff men are preparing club, big
as that of Hercules, for the cracking
lof their own heads and if they per-
sist in their present course there will
be such popping of protected skulls
as will startle the man in the moon
as he sails over Homestead, Johns
town and sparrows Point. Laugh
ter ] In that day of righteous wrath
Andrew Carnegie and his partners
in sin will be in a worse condition
than the foxes when Samson set
their tails on fire. [Applause.
A good thingis offered them now,
better than will be offered again SO
long as grass grows or water runs,
and they would be exercising both
prudence and wisdom by accepting
it without delay and with as much
grace as they can muster.
The pillows of the ocean would
not recede at the command of old
King Canute, nor will the rising tid'
of popular Indignation, caused by 3(
years of legalized robbery, be stayed
| at the behest of the tariff barons.

OUR PRAYERS.
By EMILY VAIL

By EMILY VAIL.
We sit beside the cheerful blaze,
Our room as warm as summer days,
Our hearts are filled with prayer and praise.
'Tis well. but there are some we know
Whose homes know not this genial glow.
No fault of theirs hath made it so.
And there are some who lack for bread
We send no loaf, but prayers instead,
Kneeiing beside downy bed.
A sick girl pines in her lone room,
For lovely flower we have in bloom,
'Twouid help dispel the gathering gloom.
Her slender hands so white and thin.
Remind us of lily 5 rim,
The sweet blue eyes must soon grow dim.
But the way is long. the air is chill.
Slowly we climb the wind swept hill.
Slowly We do the Fathers will.
A lone, deserted wife we know,
Her heart Is pure as the winters snow,
But this the world scarce cares to know
She needs the aid of some kind heart,
Some hand to smoothe sharp sorrow s smart
Some friend to act a true friend 3 part.
Do we put the world behind our back
And squarely walk in duty track,
Saying, Aught we have, she shall not laeks
Go we to her relief Oh. no;
The cold world frowns, we dare not go,
But pray God to assuage her woe.
4 little one comes to our door,
The threshold stone she Chambers o 'er,
An orphan child and very poor.
We part away the golden hair,
How sweet the face SO very fair:
A dainty lily needing care
Bat she is coldly sent away.
We fear our care she II not repay;
That God will help the child We pray.
Much do we pray; do we pray well'
The future life will surely tell.
Are praying souls e 'er sent to helly
The time will be when kindly deeds
viii avail US more than all our ereeds,
Too much we lean on broken reeds.

other similar doings, supported by con-

latest victims are Capt. Vesey and two
privates Of the Shropshire regiment,
who caught the dread disease while en-
gagged in sanitary duties in the Chinese
quarter. All three wee strong men,
but despite the efforts of the doctors
they were carried off in a few hours.
No treatment that has yet been dis

upon the disease. The death of these
men conclusively proves that the plague
is lot curse which falls upon Chi
nese alone. as was at first thought but
is ntagious disorder, if it is not
highly infectious.
