THANKSGIVING DAY.
Market Full Of Delic cacies and Substantial
Atornmsnis for Groaning Boards.

The secular side OF Thanksgiving day
always was, and probably always will be
observed by eating extraordinary. Then
it Is that we literally live to eat, and not
in our American haste an thrift eat to
live.
Perhaps at few times in the life of the
American citizen does he show more down
right recklessness and absolute abandon
in his purchases CT things edible than for
the few days preceding the day of the
Thanksgiving festival. The patriotic
father, about the first Of July, it is true
attains great extravaganza in furnishing
his even more, oftentimes, patriotic son,
with fire and noise devices Of every kind,
but even this is not to be compared with
the complete scattering to the winds OF all
semblance of economy, the free hand and
loose purse strings Of the Thapsk giving
dinner purchaser.
ue enters his market store for once in
his life as if squandering money were his
chief aim in life. The grocer, for once in
his life, feels himself resident of Easy
street" sticks his thumbs in his vest, and
with We'll, what, today?", announces
to the buyer that he is open to PROPOSE
tions.
What's your price for turkeys, sir?'
inquiries the buyer,
Twenty cents"
Can you give me a good one?
Il will see what can do Yes seeing
t's you, old man. I'll give you good one
And the turkeys are all right, this year.
They have arrived in good shape, and are
at that, lower in price by about Q cents
| than last year The native turkeys are
best, like native strawberries and most
every other kind of native production.
"Ch:ckens-was that what you said !
Oh chickens are about normal at II cents;
goose and ducks stand at about IS. But,
of course, the turkey is the bird for the
occasion, and although the other kinds
| meet quite large demand as side dishes,
the provcrbial bird is clear in the van.
celery is fairly plentiful this year, and
the flowery plumes are selling at 10 to Is
| cents bunch.
| For meats the prices run about the
same as usual, with pork at from to 10
cents, and beef all the way up to 25 cents
a pound.
"The nuts are good, and fresh, A
quality sell from 12 to Is cents, according
to the kind. A good mixture can be
made up to sell at Is cents.
Apples, Greetings, Baldwips, North
ern Spies and other frst-class caters bring
all the way up to So. 80 a barrel.
Candy is about the same as usual. The
sugary broken assortments look as tempt
ing as ever, and, with the other various
kinds, are meeting with good success.
DAIRY butter is worth 90 to 23 cents.
That which sells for % cents is nice enough
for any man. Fresh eggs, absolutely and
strictly fresh, are worth from 25 to 30 cents
a dozen"
The seller has finished, and with little
thought for any day but the coming NOR
row, l'hcmmc de famile takes some of
this, that and the other, and with a light
heart wends his way along, picturing to
himself feast of plenty and heart full
of thanksgiving for provided and proyider.
And if this man is thoughtful. perhaps
who knows?- he will do his little for
some one else less fortunate and make
the world bright for some poor family, for
one day, at least

The Toes Should Have Free Play,

Elasticity is imperative to grace of mo-
ton, and foot crowded into too narrow
shoe, with toes cramped and turned out of
their natural angles, cannot possibly afford
spring and elasticity to the walk. For
graceful walk the toe must have free play.
A small foot is not necessarily u beautiful
foot. Walking, dancing and running well
are accomplishments largely dependent
upon the spread and spring of the toes.

THAT BUSINESS REVIVAL.

The country has been experiencing
the severest panic in its history and the
end is not yet. Serious injury has of.
fected all classes save the immense.
ly rich. BY their W peculiar despot-
ism of usury and extortion they have
been adding unneeded millions 10
countless wealth, whilst women and
children begged crusts and fshed a
stay of life out of garbage barrels;
w%orkingmen, driven from factories and
shops, have thronged the highways
pleading in vain for employment. The
enforced idleness and vagabondism of
willing labor; the silence of desolation
reigning where should have been heard
industry's unceasing song of laboring
engines, whirring spindles and hum
ming wheels; the price of farm pro.
ducts at the lowest level; the tillers of
the soil, the only source and mainstay
of the nations power and prosperity,
staggering under a most g~rievous bur.
den of debt and taxation; paralysis of
trade in every locality; the money of
the country boarded up in the vaults
OF the Shylocks, idle, useless, and safe
from the hands of the starving and
poor;' the issues of bonds to pay cur
rent expenses; our national treasuryin
the grip of a foreign syndicate that has
impoverished Egypt and Turkey and is
the ruling power of Europe; and our
financial policy dictated by a conspira-
cy OF home and foreign bankers.
This has been the situation for long,
weary and gloomy months, and if the
present shows q material and lasting
change for the better it is not apparent
to the closest observer.
They say" that within the last few
weeks there has been a marvellous i'm

All by themselves and for want of
an Issue" the Democrats are making
all the racket and raising all the sand
over silver. From the housetops, on
the streets, in the exchanges, from the
highways, byways and hedges they
are proclaiming day and night that
the redeemer of silver is dead and that
the white metal is the most dangerous
enemy the American people have to
encounter. They have buckled on the
sword and loaded their Winchesters to
exterminate the vicious hordes who are
dumping silver bullion on our hapless
and paralyzed Nation by the million
tons.
In the meantime the Republican
party is calm, happy aud serene. With
unwearied fidelity it sticks to its text
all forms Of currency of interchange
able and equal purchasing power
and a tariff adjustment that affords
ample revenue and protects every
American workingman in his right to
an ample competency. This is the Re.
publican platform mo more and no less.
All other issues are mere incidentals.
The destines of this Nation are not in
the hands Of the gold bugs nor the
owners Of silver mines. There is an
oyerruling Providence in our affairs
that will not allow this land to be
completely impoverished by the grind
ing exactions Of the rich o overrun
by the lawless exlravagances of the
mob. The people are the power, and
when the Republican party is the ex-
ponent of that power there is peace,
plenty and a currency "the best the
world v saw"

THE REAL GA USES.

cent of the sufferings, Impeachment
and restitution of the masses. The
primary u of these troubles and
disasters was the Democratic expert.
ment of substituting the nearest thing
possible to free trade for a protective
tariff. This threat of a~bolishing i'm
post duties and forcing the American
manufacturer to come into his own
markets in competition with the pro.
duct OF the pauper labor of foreign
countries. terrified capital and caused Il
to abandon its enterprises and to hide
itself from the sight and grasp of men.
Another prolific cause of our financial
troubles has been the gross and con.
tinual violation of that natural law of
finance which says that the value of
an article shall be solely determined
by supply and demand. The trusts
favored by legislation have nullifed
tnis governing principle of honest and
legitimate trade and have made a law
TO enrich themselves at everybody
else's expense and ruin. Hence it is
ina what the masses have to sell will
not command a price covering the cost
OF production, and they are forced to
buy what they can not do without at
prices fixed by constituencies robbers.
Silver is not the culprit.
