Honesty Pays.

Honesty pays not only from a Chris
tan, but from a business standpoint as
well. A gentleman tells the following:
l was acquainted with a young man IN
New York. His employer once asked
him to engage in some crooked trans
action. The young man said: Il re-
fuse" His employer never again asked
him to commit IN unprincipled act. A
FEW weeks later the young man was
promoted, then he was made manager
of a branch house. AT last he decided
sterling Christian character had won
for him a friend who loaned him the
necessary money without security, n
today, at q, he is the owner Of a large
establishment in New York, with
branches in Boston and Philadelphia.
His former employer is one of his clerks.
Christianity helped that young man In
business.
A Christian merchant had a Chris
tan young man in his employ. He de-
cided to test his principles. One day
he sale to him: Il want you to go out
and buy a quantity Of butterine. we
can sell it for butter. There's lots OF
money in it,"
Sell butterine for butter! No, sir!
You can get someone else to do that
for you. 1 am receiving $1,000 per year,
out I'll lose my position before III
do it."
The subject was dropped. The young
man was not discharged.

ROYALTY on the Rails.

1T may not be generally known that a
telegraphist always travels by royal
trains" In case of any mishap a lad
der is placed against the nearest tele-
graph post and a wire tied or connected
with an instrument which the telegraph
clerk works while sitting on the bank.
by this means words can be at once
sent to the nearest railway station, Civ
ing instructions that assistance must
be sent at once to such and such a spot.
When a train with the sovereign on
board is travelling all the men in re-
sponsible positions all along the line
are forewarned. Once Oh the Brighton
line a trial was made. The royal train
was stopped and the t~elegraphist sent
word in the way just described. The
result was most satisfactory and the
royal parsonage was well pleased at

country what 1t has to expect when the
people put free-traders in power.
1t is noteworthy also that what Mr..
Letter says in regard to coal applies to
other products that the Wilson bill
would have admitted free. When for
eign materials are allowed to displace
home products in Il markets then we
are fastening that widespread ruin"
TO which Mr.. Letter refers.

Some Interesting Figures Presented by
the Department of Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE secre-
tary of agriculture has issued a supple
ment to the publications of reviews on
foreign markets.
1t shows that Notwithstanding the
depression of business in 1894, the
United States exported $3.50, s43, 600,
against SS47, 665, 1874 in 1o93. Three
fourths Of the amount came from
farms.
The English speaking people of
Europe bought of American exports
SAL ,000, 900 worth and, taking the
British possessions all together, they
took S523, O00. 900 worth.
The United States imported from
Great Britain Sl07, 600, 900 in 1894, or
sixteen per cent of our entire imports.
Almost ninety per ent of the total
United States exports were to the
United Kingdom and British posses
sions, Germany, Canada, France, Meth
erlands and Belgium. OF imports af-
ter the first place held by the United
Kingdom and British possessions, fol-
lows Germany, with a valuation of
S96, 900. 600; Spanish West Indies. $S2,-

pared tables of our exports and i'm

a Democrat on Protection.

Mr.. L. Il. Letter, the retired merchant
who amassed so much wealth in trade
at Chicago, says, like Senator David B..
Hill: Il am a democrat" But he is
at the same time a firm protectionist,
and one who recently expressed some
home truths that we recommend to the
careful consideration of his fellow-dem-
ocrats. He has not a high opinion of
Congressman, now General
Wilson. But who has? MIR. Letter OBJ
served:
81 look upon Mr.. Wilson as foolish. A
nan must be foolish to have made such
a tariff bill as ne originally passed
and which the president approved of.
It would have made widespread ruin.
No public enemy could have done us
more harm than the Wilson tariff bill
if passed"
This is strong language from a demo-
crat and ought to cause concern to the
congressman, now mostly ex-congress-
men. who voted for the Wilson tariff
bill. There were among them men who
knew. as well as Mr.. Letter, the per-
nicious character of that measure. But
from lack of moral courage they voted
for it. expecting that the senate would
amend it in the interests Of home in
dustries. Mr.. Letter thus explains why
Fir. Wilson is foolish
Mr.. Wilson wanted coal made free,
and Mr.. Cleveland would not sign the
bill from vexation that coal was not
made free. Now coal in West Virginia
is worth five cents a ton. The Goa is
worth here in New York $3.50. What
makes the difference? Labor. The
transportation is labor, too. Therefore
the employment of labor enough to
make the vast aggregate of the sale of
coal Mr.. Cleveland proposed to transfer
to Nova Scotia, where coal is almost
at the watersiGe and labor is so little
employed, or so poorly paid, that in
evitably our army of miners and trans
porters would have lost their last pro-
