THE PILLAR OF SUCCESS.
Protection Is the Only Sure Foundation
for Home and Nation


Republicanism and prosperity are.re-
turning hand in hand. Agnostics and
unbelievers are often heard to urge and
argue that Christianity followed in the
steps of civilization and did not lead
Where one believes this there are
thousand who believe that Christianity
led in the march of civilization, be-
cause they know that the principles
and precepts of Christianity if fol-
lowed cannot help but lead onward
and upward to a higher and better de-
veIopment in every sphere and activity
of life. So it is with republicanism
! in government. While the field for
argument is wider, and the unbelievers
are many, yet the history of this gov
eminent demonstrates that with and
following republican principles and
precepts come prosperity and con-
tentment. History not only demon
strates this, but we know that the re-
publican doctrines, if followed, will
lead into wider and greater prosperity
and cOntentment.
One of the cardinal principles of re.
publicanism is neutrality-suspicious.
What a beautiful word protection isl
Considered in any light the word is
fraught with meaning which is dear to
the hearts of all men. Life might very
well be called race for protection.
We are ever seeking it. From all
things untOward, unkind, cruel, de-
basing, degrading, we seek protection.
1t IS what the strong give to the weak.
1t IS the highest of loves gifts from
the parent TO the child, and it IS the
highest evidence of love and gratitude
that the stfong and prospecting child
can grant the parent in years of feeble
ness and age. There can be no home

ing into it and there can be no loving
without seeking after it.
Governments aye founded to afford
protection-Ours for the protection OF
its citizens in the enjoyment of life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness
Conditions exist elsewhere on the
globe which are not in accord with
life as we would have it, with liberty
as we conceive IL, or with happiness as
it has been beneicently bestowed upon
us IN the past. 1t is natural TO protect
ourselves against these conditions
Protection in its political and tech
meal sense, and as exercised by the
republican party, accomplishes this
The doctrine cannot be wisely fol-
lowed and bring about any other re-
suit than protection from these cOndi-
tions any more than can the doctrines
of Christianity be followed and result
in anything but wholesome moral de-

ton inspires confidence. We see on all
sides unmistakable evidence of return

more disposed to regard comfort ana
freedom of action of the limbs.
There is no good reason indeed why
the female riders should not wear the
abbreviated skirt, all classes of them.
The Chippendale class can easily
enough place themselves upon the same
footing with their more favored sisters
by the skillful use of padding. Sym
metry of all sorts can now be procured
at the shops. If it be allowable for n
less favored sister to conceal the raw
ages of time by the appliances of art
and to compensate for the cruel indif
ference of nature by the skill of the
chemists and cunning artificers, if she
can go to the studios where female
beauty is compounded for sale and pur-
chase hair, eyebrows, complexion,
checks, neck, bust, arms and fingers,
which vie with the highest efforts OF
nature. why should she not purchase
also the requisites of symmetry for the
motive power OF the treadles and thus
enjoy all the pleasure of the most
favored class? 1t may be averred that
she is a flying figure of deceit, impos-
ing upon the public as she speeds along
the park or the boulevard, but that is
matter between herself and her con-
science, and if the spectator is, none the
wiser, as most certainly he will not be,
the conscience will find it difficult to
rise superior to innocent vanity.
Therefore there is no reason why the
entire world of female cyclers, young
and old, shapely and unshapely, lean
and fat, handsome and ugly, should
not adopt the abbreviated skirt and
have as good time as the male pa
irons of the bike" who are grossly in
different as to their looks. The COM
ing woman in her competition with
man will surrender many of her pre-
but it may be assumed she
will never abandon her pride in her
natural or artificial charms, as the case
may be. She will never be content to
make as ridiculous an appearance as
most men do on the bicycle, and she
never should, for it is every woman's
duty to be as beautiful as nature or
money viii allow, whether on or off
the flying wheel. In a word, let wom-
en- dress as they please for this health
giving exercise.

WOMAN AND HOME.
BICYCLING COSTUMES.
An Entertaining and Important Subject
Instructively discussed.

An Entertaining and Important Subject
InstructiveIy discussed.
The interesting discussion which is
going on in the newspapers as to the
most convenient and becoming style of
bicycle costume for adult female -iders,
during the progress of the fad Illus
trates peculiar weakness of the sex,
or to put it more correctly, pardona-
BILE vanity. Time was when there
would have been no discussion of this
kind. In the old days girl or woman
found riding a bicycle, if bicycles had
been known in those days, whether in
met with dire punishment at the hands
of the elders, while short skirt would
have provoked as stern an outburst of
anger as did the display of limbs before
that redoubtable old Knickerbocker
governor of New Amsterdam. But the
world has progressed since those days
and the display of those members with
which, according to the poet the devil
baiteth his hook, no longer occasions
surprise, unless it happens that they
are unshapely.
Hence the discussion of this problem
has, according to the Chicago Tribune,
taken exactly the shape which might
have been anticipated 1t will be OBJ
served that all the girls, married wom-
en- and widows who have symmetrical
lower limbs are inclined to favor the
short skirt which Will not obscurethat
symmetry. On the other hand, all
those who have spindling or the Chip
pendale style of combinations are firmly
set upon having the long skirts. Be
tween these two classes there is still
another which is neutral as to sym
metry. Il is conscious that it has no
occasion for vanity and at the same
time it knows it is not a subject for
ridiculc. This class is in profound
doubt about the skirt and how far it
should conc DOWN. Again it is notice
able that the girls arc more particular
about these aspects of the case than
the married or older women. The
former are actuated by the aforemen-
toned vanity. which is entirely par
dOnablc. which is condoned by every
poet from Shakespeare to Swinburne,
and which is limited at even by sanity

KIcYcles OF Rare Beauty.

Queen Margharita of Italy is an ex-
pert rider of the fascinating wheel, and
recently the Cycle club of Milan pre-
scented her with gold wheel, which is,
probably, the most beautiful and valua-
BILE cycle ever made. With English
women, who are extremely fond of
cycling, it has become a fad to have
wheels quite out of the ordinary. Lady
Dudley has a white enameled wheel,
with handles of beautiful ivory.

A RECORD BREAKER.
What Ten Months OF the Wilson Law.
Have Done.

Have Done.
On June % ended the tenth month of
the work of the new tariff law. And
its record is indeed a sorry one. Al
though it went into operation with the
whole country waiting to buy goods
which it was expected to bring in
lower rates, it shows for ten months
smaller treasury receipts than did the
Mckinley law in the corresponding
ten months of last year, and infinitely
less than did the Mckinley law in its
first ten months As a record break
er" the Wilson law stands triumphant,
but it is a record of badness, of an
enormous deficiency. And this, too,
in the face of smaller expenditures by
the treasury than in the same period
for many years
Not for years have the expenditures
been SO low as during the months, in
which the Wilson law has been in OPP
GRAFTON, yet it presents, as the net re-
suits of the ten months,a deficit of S52,-
OF, 131, besides emitting to make the
usual payment of S4s, 100000 on the
sinking fund. No month in the his
tory of the treasury for a quarter of a
century has shown such small receipts
as did many of the months since the
new law went into effect. Had it been
compelled to meet the demands made
upon the treasury under former tariff
laws, the deficiency would have been
many millions greater. Toledo Blade.
