narrowest hens possible, done with

THE TARIFF OUTLOOK.
Mckinley Law with Some Notifications
VIII be the Thing.

VIII Be the Thing.
Messrs Mckinley and Sherman at
the recent republican gathering at
Springfield, O., made some remarks on
the tariff question which are highly
significant. The governor said that
the future tariff legislation, the legis-
lation Of the republican party, will
provide adequate revenue for the gov
eminent, sustain American industries
and exalt American labor" and he
added that mo man can tell what the
schedules and rates may be, for these
must depend upon conditions existing
at the time" What we mean to do
when we regain power" said the sem
ator. lis to provide q tariff that will
yield sufficient revenues to support the
government and at the same time pro-
tect all home industries impartially
and effectually. The Mckinley law,
with such changes as time may make
necessary, will accomplish this pur-
pose" :,
All this vague and elastic, of
course, but it is about as specific rs
any promises of statesmen on either
side of any technical question ever is.
The central idea in each utterance is
that the republican tariff will afford
sufficient revenue and protection. The
question of rates and schedules is, of
course, q matter Of detail that no re-
publican can foreshadow with any sort
of confidence. All this will be attend
ed to by the republican congress whsn
it starts to work. 1t is these little
matters of detail, howcver-the articles
put on or left off the dutiable sched-
ules and the rates affixed to those
which are put on-that count" 1t
was the little matters Of detail in the
Mckinley act, for instance, which gave
the republican party in 1850 the worst
beating any party had ever got in a
congressional election along to that
time, and the same details made the
republican overthrow of 1892 almost Us
disastrous as was the democratic over
throw in 1872
Each speaker said that rates and
schedules will be determined by tho
conditions existing at the time. This
is safe position to take. No tariff,
however wisely drawn, unless it is
revenue tariff purely, as Ensland's is,
conld be safely allowed to run eight or
ten years without some alterations
The conditions are steadily changing,
and the protection that would be
reasonable to-day might be excessive

remark, that the republican tariff will

changes as time may make necessary"

Ohio's favorite son, who was present.
Translated into popular language.
this means that the new tariff will be
the Mckinley law, with notifications
that will make it radically different.
No epublican, not even its author,
ever wants tariff closely resembling

Cleveland AS a Financier.

Little by little the American people
are allowed to know the details of the
star-chamber bond dicker Of last win
ter. When that furtive deal was made
the Cleveland administration permitted
the impression to go abroad that in
lieu of the exorbitant t,a'ms under
which the new loan was hoated the
bond syndicate which took it was
pledged to keep the gold reserve at
one hundred million dollars until o.
tober ]. The statement now put forth
by these money lenders shows that the
Cleveland administration deliberately
deceived the public. In that state
ment it is explicitly asserted that the
bond syndicate fulfilled all it's obliga-
tions to the government in June last"
and that all the gold coin which it has
deposited with the treasury since that
time has been the result of voluntary
action on it's part. According to this
amazing confession the treasury to-day
is completely at the mercy of a hand
full of money changers. And yet
Grover Cleveland has the effrontcry to
pose as the champion Of sound finance!

CARE OF THE SKIN.
Painstaking Care Is Necessary to Remove
Seemingly Trining Troubles.

Painstaking Care Is Necessary to Remove
Seemingly Trining Troubles.
There are many little skin troubles
which are both persistent and trouble
some, and vex ones very soul by ap-
pearing on the face. A greasy skin
may arise from various causes, but gen.
orally from lack OF cleanliness or de-
bility of the skin. Only an astringent
has any effect upon it, and very sim
pie, entirely harmless one may be made
from one pint of rosewater, half pint
of vinegar and few drops of essence
Of rose. This lotion may be applied
with q piece Of soft linen or q very fine
sponge.
Blackheads are very difficult to get
rid of, and are caused by the clogging
of the pores of the skin by dust or for
eign matter. Alcohol, ninety per cent,
applied by the means Of a piece of
chamois skin, will give tC1e to the skin
and remove unsupported dirt and dust,
at the same time stimulating the small
glands and removing, by constant use,
the blackheads.
Tan and freclsles may be removed by
the use Of the following lotion: Two
drachms of powered sal ammoniac,
four fluid drachms of eau de cologne,
ono quart of distilled water. Lemon
juice and borax are both very eftica-
cious, and are home remedies.
Many skins will not stand constant
washing, but need to be cleaned after
a dusty ride or walk by other means
than soap and water. Lait Virginia. is
a delicious preparation, and can be
made as follows: Ono pint of rose,
orange-hower or elder-flower water,
half an ounce Of simple tincture Of
benzoin, and ten drops of tincture Of
myrrh.
After being exposed to harsh or
chilling winds, it is good plan upon
retiring to rub q quantity Of fresh
cream on the face, removing after five
or ten minutes, to be applied again, fol-
lowed by generous putting Of rice
powder.-Housekeep

hot as the first. Everyone knows that
inuch heat is lost by the removal of q
cory even for moment. The mate
rails consist of two contrasting SHADES,
two ounces each, of double Berlin
zephyr wool. Sage green with either
very pale sky blue or salmon pink looks
well, or else golden brown with prim-
rose yellow, keeping oil cases the pale
color for the lining and frill. Some
cibbon for bow and twist around the
base Of the frill is required for finish;
this should match the frill in color.
Take knitting needles No. 4, and
with the darker shade for the out
side cast on so stitches; work one row
plain. Then the rest is carried out in
what is sometimes known as briache
stitch; this is worked by making one,
slipping one and taking up two, in
every row the same. The cozy is
worked in four sections, two for the
outside and two for the lining. For
each section use up one ounce Of wool,
rcscrving just enough to join up the.
sides when finished. For the lining
cast on 30 stitches instead of 80; this
will give it additional length sufficient
FOR the frill at the top. In joining up
leave slit on each side large enough
Sor the handle and spout to pass
through, as shown in the illustration.
Nothing simpler than this mode of
making tea coy can well be imagined.
The finished effect, though plain, is
dainty and pretty, while the thickness
of the wool and the close stitch en-
ploycd make it practical and useful

THE MILK WILL NOT BOIL OVER.

Philadelphia Record. 1t is a simply
constructed rim, which must tightly 1T
the pot in which the milk is to be
boiled. Upon the inside of it is another
rim in which holes are cut even dis
tances apart. This pot needs no watch
ing, and if it does boil over no harm can
be done, as the overflow returns to the
pot through the small holes provided in
the rim sufficiently cooled off to pre-
vent it from boiling over any more. A
benefit of this system is that milk can
be kept boiling for long time, and
thereby sterilized milk, forming nu-
tritious and healthy food for babies, can
be obtained.

Buying from Europe,

. This is the way we have captured
the markets of the world, with our
wheat: For the first year under the
German tariff We exported all told
7s,s3l,63 bushels of wheat; while dur
ing the preceding year, under the Nc
Kinley law, we exported s7,05s, $50. In
the meantime we had fulfilled the con-
dition prescribed by ex-Gov. Boies and
other free trade speakers, that is, we
had been buying heavily in Europe.
They used to tell us that il we bought
OF them they would buy of us. We
were told the ships had to be loaded
both ways But it seems that they
have been heaviest loaded coming to
America, bringing us foreign made
goods to be sold in competition with
the products of our own people. And
we fulfilled still another condition
cheapness. During the year under the
German bill wheat went down to FORTY
cents bushel Surely Europe ought
to have been willing to buy at such
low rates But it seems she BOUGHT
more high priced wheat under the Nc.
klnley law than low priced wheat
under the Gorman law. There is some.
thing wrong here. In fact, the whole
theory and the whole practice are
wrong.-lowa State Register.
