contention of some

The contention of some of the
organic republican journals that
the prosperity of the country can be
secured and the treasury replenished
by the simple expedient of restoring
Mckinley duties lacks a basis of fact
and experience. There were too many
panics and long periods of hard times
under the high tariffs to sustain the
paradox of taxing a nation into pros
perity. Besides, the national revenues
fell off forty million dollars under the
Mckinley tariff, as they would fall
now under increased duties. It is not
forgotten, furthermore, that the treas
ury went rapidly from a handsome
surplus to an impending deficit under
the law which the people twice con-
demned.-N. Y. World.

COTTON MILLS GOING SOUTH.
A Lame "Object Lesson" of High Tariff
Republicans.

A Lame "Object Lesson" of High Tariff
Republicans.
A republican journal can see nothing
in the proposed removal of Massachu.
sets cotton mills to the south except
IAN object lesson in protection" to the
southern people.
The cotton factories will go south in
obedience to natural laws. The change
has been inevitable since the abolition
of slavery, the advent of free labor at
the south, the creation there OF a COM
mercial and industrial spirit and the
building of adequate lines of transpor.
tation. The mills are being transplant-
ed, as one of their managers says, be-
cause their staple is grown there and
because labor and fuel are cheaper,
taxes lower and the climatic conditions
more favorable.
The treasurer of one of the Lowell
mills puts the matter clearly in these
words:
The fact is we can no longer make plain
sheettngs and drills at a profit in the north.
Against two dollars per ton for coal IN the
south we must pay four to four and a half dol
lars. The climate down there is milder. and it
does not require SO much. coal to heat the
mills. The manufacturers there can buy their
cotton off the market wagon. We must pay
freight and brokerage, giving them IN advan-
tage of one cent per pound on the raw cotton,
which by itself is o fair profit for o mill maxi
Ing coarse yarn goods. The labor, too, costs
sixty per cent of what it does here, and down
there the taxation is not quite one-half What
it is in Lowell"
So far as the "object lesson in pro-
lection" is concerned, the transfer
enc of the mills to the south renders
a high tariff more than ever necessary.
We have the authority of Secretary
Blaine and Of u consular reports
since his day for the statement that the
labor cost in cottons is less in the New
England mills than in Great Britain.
The cost of fuel and of living expenses
is greater in massachusetts than in
England. But now that this disadvan-
tage is to be overcome by a removal to
the south. and the mills can 'buy their
cotton from the market wagons" while
their foreign competitors must pay for
five thousand miles of transportation
the fibre, the American manufacture
ers no more need the forty-five per
cent. protection which the present
tariff gives them than the miners OF
need protection for their
coal.

hegira Of the mills.-N. Y. World.

Giants Causeway'' were carried for

with the energy and spirit that mark all
Of that gentleman's s undertakings.
The opening night, Dec. "a, found
the house well filled with an audience
which made favorable impression on
the venerable Mr.. Borders as he looked
out through the peephole in the curtain,
while behind the footlights feverish ex-
citement and anticipation prevailed.
As for Kitty, she had become so
wrought up over her role-the longest
one she had ever been intrusted with
that she seemed in danger of losing her

crammed into her small head. She was
standing in the first entrance, with her
hand clasped in that Of Mr.. Freelance,
when her cue came, and as she walked
out on the stage, the ideal Of childish
loveliness, murmur of delight ran
through every part of the crowded house.
They're going to foreclose the mort
gage on the old mill tomorrow night,
and if that child lives I am beggar, -
said the polished, cigarette smoking
villain, and then a youngster in the
parquet set up pitiful howl of despair,
which was followed by general ripple
of merriment that might have proved
fatal to the piece had not Kitty gone on
with her lines with the coolness and
gravity of the born and experienced
artist, which she was displaying there
by presence of mind which won for
her, on her exit, the first real applause
of the evening.
Kitty Sullivan was, as the eminent
dramatic critic had observed, an old
hand at the business, despite the fact
that she was but years of age, for she
had been born and brought up on the
stage and was as much at home in the
presence of great audience as an Or
dinary child is before nursery. As the
piece went OH she realized that she was
making hit-a far greater one than
she had ever made beforehand, young

kids knocked 'em good this time, sure,
for things got to be good if it gets

And as the audience dispersed that
night it seemed to Mr.. Freelance, as he
stood alert and watchful in the lobby,
that there was but one name on every
tongue, and that Kitty's sweet face and
infantile art had made their way into
the very heart of an always tickle public.
"You were right about her, Billy"
said Hardup.

She was looking forward to certain

had rehearsed with much delight, and
in which she firmly expected to make
great impression. Billy, who had been
waiting with some anxiety for the same
scene, came down and took seat in

in the wings waiting for her cue she
saw him SMILING encouragement to her.
The scene represented barren, wave
washed rock near the coast of Ireland,
and on this rock was standing the vir-
tuous heroine, just where she had been
left by the villain. The lights grew
dim, the moon arose from beyond the
scene, and the Philadelphia quartet,
stationed behind the scenes, warbled
plaintive Irish melodies.
"Must die here alone!" moaned the
heroine as the tide rose higher and
higher about the rock on which she
stood and heavy clouds began to gather
above her head And just at this mo-
ment, rowboat, propelled by childish
arms, came swiftly around the rocky
point at the left Of the stage, and Kitty

parents were later informed that she
had gone 10 America with

posed to her going to the United
States. They heard nothing from her
until they received letter on January

of absence on the plea that his throat
was affected, aud that his doctor had
ordered him to go away. Several weeks
later he returned to Oldbury, his home
in Worcestershire, five miles north
west OF birmingham. Since that time
ho has lectured on his experience in
America and he also referred to them

Mrs. Hall has in her possession letters
