TIGHT CLOTHING.

A young lady few weeks ago ap'
piled to a physician for treatment
She suffered from continual headache
and had done so for years, and she had
other troubles. The physician exam.
ined her thoroughly, and satisfied her
self (the physician was woman) as
to the causes of patients maladies.
"I cannot treat you," said the doc
tor, "unless you will follow my In
structions implicitly. But if you prom,
ise to do so, think your health will
improve Immediately, and will soon be
entirely restored" -.
The patient promised entire compli
ance with the instructions of the ply
sician.
"The first thing for you to do is to
take off your corsets, or wear them SO
loosely that the vital organs will moi
be at all compressed even when you
take full breath. Then suspend al
your clothing from your shoulders
and have nothing hang from your hips
Procure a pair of lowheeled shoes
about two sizes larger than you veal
now. Give up drinking tea or coffee
or take them very weak. At first you
may miss the stimulus, but only for 6
few days. Eat nourishing food at reg
ular intervals, and 20 to bed early
and get your sleep out. Walk to ano
from your place of business so as te
get all the exercise possible for you in
the open air."
A little medicine was given to the
patient for some local trouble, but
treatment was relied on for the main
difficulties. She did exactly as bel
physician told her. In few days
she was free from headache, and in
few weeks she was enjoying degree
of health up to that time entirely un
known to her. The heart was able
without check from tight clothing, tc
do it's work her lungs had full play
and could purify the Llood without hin
drance from corset laces the abdomi
nal organs, no longer crowded down
upon the delicate organs below them
performed their functions without in
terfering with any other organs of the
body; elasticity gradually came back
to the step of the young woman, colol
came to her face, light to her eye, and
the cheerfulness born of good health
to her heart.
The physician from whose mouth
this statement was received, averret
that the good results that this patient
enjoyed were directly from the treat
ment she received and gave herself
and not from the medicine.

but firm control being exercised.
Mules should be broken to the bride
and halter while very young, and be.
fore they get their teeth, that they
may be the easier handled. If this
plan is adopted there will be little
trouble with them as they develop, and
when strong enough to put to work
they will take it as naturally as does
a horse. Mule colts demand as much
care and warmth in the winter Us any
other animal, and the size and stamina
depend as much on food as does that
of the horse.

bishop of Rochester, England, was a
man of deep piety, he had a keen
sense of humor. The Church Review
says that on one occasion he was ask

school board. In the course of his
preliminary speech he gravely asked
the children, (which was the largest
island in the world before Australia

BRYAN'S KISS OF BETRAYAL.
New YORK sun.

New York sun.
We called attention yesterday to the appa-
rent origin of Mr.. Bryans favorite figure of
speech-that of the crown of thorns. The boy
orator was present in the House OF Representa-
tives ON January 26, 1894. when his Republi-
can associate, Mr.. Mccall of Massachusetts,,
closed speech on protection with an eloquent
peroratfon containing this passage:
Do you regard your bill with reference to iaborH
Ready you have ever been 10 betray 1t with a
kiss, scourge 1t to the very quick, and press q
crown of thorns upon ils brow.
This seems to have made great impression
upon Mr.. Bryan's mind He appropriated the
crown of thorns and has been pressing 1t upon
the brow of labor ever since. He waited, how
ever, for eleven months, or until Dece ber
IL, 1894, before he used Mr.. McCail's crown OF
thorns in the House of Representatives.
Not so, however, with the kiss OF be trayal.
Four days after Mr.. McCalPs speech of January
26, 1894, Mr. Bryan undertook 10 reply 10 the
Hon. Bourke Cochran on the subject OF the in
come tax. and he worked in the kiss OF be-
trayal thus:
Oh, sIrs: is 1t not enough to betray the cause Of
the poor-must IL be done with kiss lAppiauseI.
We should say that when the applause
sounded, Mr.. Mccall was the proper person to
stand up and make the bow.

FREE TRADE AND RUIN.

The student of practical politics will
find much to interest him in THE CALL s
third article on the wool industry in to-
days issue. The salient point brought out
by the historical sketch of wool under the
Bryan-Wilson policy is that William Jen-
nings Bryan is hardly a kindergarten
graduate in the science of economics.
In his defense of the Wilson bill the
boy Orator of the Platte" predicted that
free trade would enable American manu-
facturers of wooden goods to build up an
export trade that would call for more
workmen at higher wages. Let us see
what the cold facts say.
In every department of the wool in
dustry, from the sheep-grower to the GIRL
who attends the weaving-machine, there
is general paralysis. Sixty per cent of the
American mills are idle, and American
wools are to-day 80 per cent under the
London market, with slow sale. Under
the Mckinley bill they were "A per cent
above the London market, and sales were
active.
The loss to American woolen-miIl en-
ployes and Others engaged in the wool
industries of the country amounts to a
third OF a million dollars each day. AT
Lawrence, Mass, so 900 employees are idle
and hungry. How do these facts comport
with William Jennings Bryan's prediction
that more people would be employed than
under protection and at increased wages ?
The reports show that the Wilson Bryan

policy has greatly helped the English
wooden industry; that English mills are
busy making 500. 600, 900 of cheap shoddies

men were happy and a million fiockmas-
ters were prosperous. They dispensed
$24000,000 annually in wages, but they
have now become mere producers of
mutton.
More startling still is the showing that
the entire saving for all this destruction is
but SO cents on each suit of clothes of the
finest quality and less on the working
mems clothing.
We commend the reading of the story of
the ruin wrought by free trade to all i'm
partial students of the signs of the times.

REEDS POINTED QUESTION.

Speaker Reed has opened the can paign
for the party in Maine and sounded new
keynote for the party in every State. Re-
ferring TO the plight the Democrats had
thrust the country into he said: "If they
blundered in business with their best men
present, are they going to be a success on
finance with their best men absent2"
Here is a question that every voter in the
country should feel was put to him per-
sonalfy. If such men as Cleveland, Hill,
Villas, Vest, Voorhees, and Palmer proved
themselves unequal to the task of giving
the country business administration,
what is to be expected from such men as
Bryan, Altgeld, Debs and Sovereign? To
answer that question correctly is to vote
correctly, or for Mckinley, which is the
same thing.
Mr.. Reed is quite right in holding Dem
ocratic incompetency as well as foolish
legislation responsible for the terrible
financial panic of the last three years.
Times were good and business active
until Democratic tinkering with the GUS
toms revenue created the suspicion in
business circles that there was likely to be
great deal of blundering, and after that
1t did not take long for confidence to
withdraw from commercial circles. 1t
could not be otherwise than that a disas-
trous panic should follow such conditions.
The administration forfeited the conf
dence of the public in its ability TO man.
age the affairs cf the country on business
principles. and naturally enough capital
| and industry were driven into hiding.
Now, if the greatest men of the party
failed to see what the needs of commerce
were, what would be the consequence OF
Democrats of the smallest caliber getting
possession of the government Cleve-
land and his advisers forget more every
day about the science of government than
Bryan would know in a lifetime. and yet
nothing but commercial and industrial
wreck and ruin is sure in their path. "If
| this nation has thrice at the polls con-
demned this party when it was better, are
We going DOW to place 1t in power when it

it declared for sound money. In eachcase the
declaration was one of principle and not for
the voters of any class nor the support OF any
body of men does the Republican party repu-
dlate its principles
The Republicans of this country will insist
upon their voters deciding the result OF the
coming election on the question OF free trade,
wi h repudia ton of the debts that free trade
brings TO every man, or OF protection with
WORK and trade for everybody, and the pay
ment of wages, debts and all oblig atoms in
where. These are the living principles of the
Republican party. We should have declared
them If there had been no Democratic party.
no Free Silver party, no PopuitSt party, no
other party under the sun. and TO these prin-
ciples we shall adhere as long as good faith
and honor prevail among men. If the Repub-
lcan party abandoned the principle of protec-
tion it would cease to have a reason for exist
ence. 1t demanded the restoration of pro-
tectiye duties on the day that the Wilson law
went into effect. Since the election of Grover
Cleveland in 1892 the country has Endorsed
this Republican demand at every State and
Congress district election.
