Can't Fool 'em Again.

Four years ago the Democratic
party promised the workingmen If
they would vote for free trade every
thing they wanted to buy would be
cheap, and there would be plenty OF
work at good wages-an absurd
proposition on the face of it, be-
cause what the workingman wants
to buy is produced by the labor
of other workingmen, and II
it is cheap the labor which produced
il must be cheap. The workingmen
understand this now and the Demo
Gratis are not saying anything about
free trade this fall They say in ef-
feet, "Our free trade policy does
not work as we expected. 1t has
shut up the mills and factories all
over the country and there has been
little work and poor pay. Now let
us give you cheap money and see
what the effect of that will be. y
Isn't the workingman having a
hard enough time of it now with
scanty employment and low wages,
without cutting the purchasing
power of the little money he does
earn in two? If the workingmen
are wise they will vote for McKi. =
ley and protection, plenty of work
at good wages paid in good money

This was the remark of q saleslady
in one of the large shopping stores,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer, and, on
being asked for an explanation, she
said:
1T is quite a customary thing TO-
so-called ladies to go shopping with
their maids, not with the remotest in
tention of buying anything, but with
the purpose of seeing the latest
fashions and copying them at home

Nelvets and other materials needed, and
dish up exact counterparts Of the
models they have seen.
when il is considered that for Paris
models leading firms often pay a big
price for each gown, it will be seen
that direct infringement of the copy
right, so to speak, is most disastrous
TO them. 1t is the custom of firms who
have been taken in in this way to keep
what they call their exclusive models
strictly secret. These are never shown
in the windows, and are only brought
forward to customers who are well
known and trusted

hand side of the car? have frequently
wondered at it, and a solution of the
mystery did not occur to me until
few nights ago. / boarded a Girard

and sat down in the forward left-hand
corner. At the next crossing woman
got aboard and sat down opposite me.
Az the next street two more women
got in and took seats alongside of the

women in the car, all sitting in row,
leaving me to enjoy alone the comforts
Of the left-hand seats. Then three men
jumped aboard and sat down on my
side. Finally another woman joined
rear the door on the ladies' side she
walked the entire length of the car
and sat down alongside of me. This
eccentricity on her part impellcd me
to watch her more closely than good
manners possibly warranted, but 1
solved the mystery to my satisfaction.

Iron and steel
1t is difficult, says Belgian journal,
to distinguish between iron and steel
tools. They have the same polish and
workmanship; use will commonly
show the difference. To make the dis
tinction quickly place the tool upon N
stone, and drop upon it some diluted
nitric acid flour parts of water to ono
of acid. II the tool remains clean it
is of iron; II of steel, it will show a
black spot where touched with the
acid. These spots can be easily rubbed
off.

BLAINE FOR SILVER.

A few days since we reproduced a
few sentences from Hon. Jas. G..
Blaine, which showed he was for
free silver coinage. We learn that
some Republicans hereabouts deny
that he favored it. In 1878 while
in Congress, Mr.. Blaine used the
following language:
81 believe the struggle now going
on in this country and in other
countries for a single gold standard
would, if successful, produce wide
spread disaster in and throughout
the commercial world. The destruc-
tion of silver and establishing gold
as a sole unit of value must have a
ruinous effect upon all forms of
property except those improve
ments which yield fixed return in
money. 1t is impossible tc strike
silver out of existence as money
without results which will prove
distressing to millions and disas-
trous to tens of thousands. / be-
lieve gold and silver coin to be the
money of the constitution; indeed
the money of the American people
anterior to the constitution, which
the great organic law recognized as
quite independent of its own exis.
tence. No power was conferred on
Congress to declare either metal
should not be money. Congress has
in my judgement no power to de-
nonetize silver any more than to
demonetize gold,

The old man who looks out at the
world with clear and healthy eyes
cannot help feeling great gratifica-
tion at the thought that his chill
dren have inherited from him no
weakness nor tendency to disease.
The healthy old man is the man
who has throughout his life kept
his digestion good and his blood
pure. Not one in a thousand does
do it. Germs go through the
healthy body without effect. Let
them once find lodgment or let
them find weak spot, they will de-
velop bv the million and the blood
will be full of them, Instead Of
giving strength to the tissues, it
will force upon them innutritious
matter, and the man will lose flesh
and the more susceptible he is to
disease. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery is the only medicine
that absolutely and infalllbly cures
all blood diseases, and almost all
diseases are blood diseases. 1t isn't
a medicine for some one particular
so-called disease. 1t is a medicine
for the whole body. 1t forces out
all the germs of disease, and re-
places impurities with rich, red
blood.

An exciting race out of here was
had on Tuesday evening, we learn,
One of the T. & P. switch engines,
by some means, got loose and start
ed toward the Junction unattended
and was making good speed when it
got on the main track The repor-
ter was told that Alderman Bill
Kelley, who is one of the yard men
took in the situation and mounting
another locomotive, gave chase and
overtaking the fugative at or near
the T. c. Junction five miles out
and brought it back to the city.
These iron horses do break away
sometime and do sight of damage
especially if they are turned into a
yard and find some open switch
where is kept empty and other cars,
and it has been known where these
loosened engines running on the
main track have dashed into trains
and caused serious loss of life and
property.

BY a MEMBER.

Or ten lumbermen went into a
hotel in one of our Western
cities, and engaged a private
parlor. They were jolly, well~
TODD fellows, and met to settle
up years business over a social
glass, having had a successful
speculation together. Summon
ing the gentleinanly clerk of the
house, they ordered him to
bring in the choicest liquor to
be Misunderstanding bat the
purest and finest article"
The table was spread. glasses
brought out, and inirth and jollty
prevailed. Presently III came
the clerk with silver pitcher of
ice water, aud, as he filled each
goblet, with quiet dignity, lie
remarked: Gentlemen, l have
done the best l could to obey
your order, and here is the purest
article to be found in the United
States"
All looked in dumb amaze>
Inent, SO unexpected and SO
ludlcrous was their position,
But they were equal to the oc-
caslon. Not a word was said
till each had his glass before
him, filled with the sparkling
fluid. Almost simultaneously
they all raised their glasses, and
pledging each others health,
made the addit' onal pledge not
to drink anything stronger for
the year to come. Nearly twelve
months have passed, and they
have been loyal to their VOW.
May we not hope that the pledge
may be renewed for life.-Zion S

A PICTURE BY LADY SoMER-
SET.-In her farewell address III
New York on"The New English
Woman" Lady Henry Somerset
drew a striking picture of the
degradation caused among the
women in England cities by the
habit of strong drink. 1t is the
practice of women to frequent
the drink shops in England, as
they do not in America, a prac,
tlce which adds greatly to the
demorallz:ng results Of the drink
traffic. It is not All uncommon
sight, said Lady Somerset, to
see public bar room in London
half filled with women of the
poorer class, some with babies
i'll their arms, whose cries are
kushed with the stupefying dress
OF the beer mugs and 1nblers
of gin. The employment of
young girls as barmaids was
spoken of as another agency Of
corruption aud ruin in connec-
ton with the liquor business in
England. 1t was her personal
observation of such scenes and
practlses as these, said Lady
Henry Somerset, that had made
her what some were pleased to
call a temperance "tanatic." If
a determination to do what laid
III her power to overcome these
agencies Of evil which were
! bringing such fearful burden
of woe and misery upon the
homes of England, made her q
fanatic" she gloried in the title.

members of the Legislature that
they will uot vote for PritcIlard.
