Out of Meat.

The republican household seems
to be out Of meat. This is evident
from the effort now made by some
republican politicians and newspa
pers to revive the tariff issue. That
the Mckinley tariff checked trade
and stopped the mills is fact that
has gone into history. The tariff
law of the democratic congress
which supplanted the Mckinley
law, brought such Improvement i'll
business that every workingman
and investor ssgrrtts tthhsste Ii it did not
effect a wider departure from the
Mckinley &5ctrine than it did. If
it were not for the faults of our
currency system, which will pres
entity be cured, the people of the
United States would be to-day en-
tering an aera of prosperity and Of
matchmaking, the like Of which
they have never known. The re-
publlcans may make whatever
charge they choose against the dem
ocratic administration Of the gov
ernment, but if they undertake to
induce the people to consent to the
re-onactment Of high protective
tariff they will merely subject them
selves to ridicuie, That doctrine
has beer so completely repudiated
and its economic falsity so
thoroughly demonstrated, that no
argument in its support will be
patiently hoard by intelligent vot-
ers. The protective tariff is dead
issue. The republican congress to
meet next winter will not attempt
to resuscitate it. Whatever revi-
sion may be made must be on the
lines of the Wilson bill and in the
direction of still freer commerce, If
the republican managers, however,
see fit to propose the re-enactment
Of the Mckinley tariff, the demo
Gratis will most cheerfully meet them
on that ground, but it is hard to be-
lieve the republicans would be
guilty of such political folly. The
Mckinley tariff brought to the peo-
pie only distress. 1t bred trusts
and monopolies. It caused conges-

MISS ANNIE's SCHOOL.

While Johnnie searches Asia Ger
To find the Tloang Ho,
shu' my eyes and see once more
That school Of long ago.
1t was no kindergarten shoot,
That child ST modern rule,
Academy nor institute,
But Just Miss Annie's school,
Miss Annie's face was round and fair
Her eyes we're big and blue
And everything, We did declare,
In all the world, she knew.
She always tired to make it clear,
With gentle word or kiss:
what country south of Turkey, dear::'
Oh, Polly Ann will miss
But no. Miss Annie smiled. "Wha. 'ha
Lies under in the pan
When mother roasts the turkey fat?''
"'Tis Greece" laughed Polly Ann.
Such grand excursions as we had
On Continent and seq,
The while we held, with hearts so glad
That charmed geography.

For voyage cf to-day"
Each pencil sought Itasca lake,
And then we sailed away,
One bh5stul hour We journeyed sodth
No craft so swift could run,
And then we landed q. the mouth,
And lesson time was done.
But in that hour what things we saw,
What people strange We met.
The painted warrior and his squaw,
The black-robed Jesuit.
All passed Ike figures in dream,
With bufaloes and deer.
And left beside that mighty stream

We heard the slave n rice-delds speak
And felt his plant was true:
The tears rolled down Miss Annia'S chez
And we-yes, We cried, too.
Oh, shade of old DeSote grave,

And stern La alle-who else SC brave

But as in thought once more view
