Protection to Sugar Producers.

We condemn the present administra-
ton for not keeping faith with the
sugar producers Of this country. The
Republican party favors such protec-

American soil OF all the sugar the
American people use, and for which
they pay other countries more than

The cry goes up constantly from the
free silver men that they expect by the
free coinage Of silver to keep England
from ruling our currency" That
would be all very well if it were true.
or if they had control OF our money
which they have not. But our free sill
yer friends should be able to see that
free silver would give to London alb
solute power over the value Of every
dollar of money in the United States.
The value of coin depends on the mar
ket price of bullion of which it is COM
posed. The value OF the silver dollar
would follow every fluctuation in the
market price OF silver. London is the
worlds market for silver, because she
does the bulk of the trading with China
and India, which two countries are
well named the sink Of silver" The
price there depends upon the supply OF
silver bars, and the demand for them.
The price of silver all over the world
follows the London price-that is, goes
up or down as it does. Hence, with
free coinage, and no gold in circulation
in this country, all our money would
go up and down with the price Of sill
yer bullion in London. We would have
to look at the price in the London ca
bles each morning to see what a dollar
would be worth, the same as merchants
during the war, looked g: the >',w

greenbacks were worth; and whether 10

monetary system at the mercy Of the
spectators in silver in London.

what Il rare one that was she did not con
ceive. Had it been a piece of cut glass she
would as readily have taken If for dia-
mond, and worn it a Il her life with as much
pride.
A week later all of Willow Tree court
knew that she had found a valuable ring
that is. they were sure it must have been
valuable, but no one who saw il was able
10 tell by merely looking at it.
II was current talk in the court and
alley for months afterward Of how the
owner OF the ring traced il to the dump.
She advertised il the newspapers. Mary
could not read, but there are n few people
in tie alley who can. One Of them saw
| the ad. and told Mary of 1t a month
| aftcrward. The woman had been wearing
the jewel all the time while She worked
in the washlub or gathered Goals from the
dump.

had lost the ring OF course there was
JOY on the lady's part. After she had
heard Mary's story several times over
she thought her very honest and said a
reward must be coming.
The reward did come and it was sub
stantial one After presenting her with
big sum Of money, veritable fortune
for Willow Tree alley, she gave her place
among her servants.
Mary worked hard and saved Some of
the money her benefactress had given her
/ fact, 1T was the last of that money that
bought the plain coffin in which she lay
when the story was told. If 1t did take q
whole week for the finding of the stone
to be known throughout the alley it only
required a day for the inhabitants of the
place bo learn of the second chapter OF
Mary's fortunes. Immediately some one
called her The Qqueen of the Dump and
the name stuck To her. Even the minister

QUEEN OF THE DUMP.
True Tale of Denizen Of Willow
Tree Alley.


Tree Alley.
Mary was her name, but people down
IN Willow Tree court, e.swell section Of
Willow Tree alley. where she lived, knew
her better as the queen OF tile Dump.
She was oolured, old and ugly.
She died a few DAYS ago. OF course there
was n funeral. People always tell things
.t funerals. Many of the things they say
are good and should have been told Willie
the person was living. on the other hand,
many of the things that are told While one
is alive should be left, If they are told at
all. uIhil after death.
sotne story was related while the mourn
ers sat about aud waited for the minister
to come and say something over the PLAIN
coffin. Mary was once like many Of her
ncishbors. she was compelled To 60 out
on the rubbish pileS and the dump 10
gather what Providence chose to give her.
She did it for years.
IL was one cold fall evening not so very
lon. ago. on her arm she carried a basket,
md now ana then she would lean wearlly
over and pick up piece of coal. The eN-
erctSe VISA painfully slow, and the basket
was not more than half full when the sun
began to fan below the roof tops that had
all afternoon been stretching and stretching
their shadows.
Most of the time Mary walked IN the
shadows Now and then though she would
come To light spot where the sun was
still visible. She stopped and gazed on
the ground before her 1t was one OF the
light spots and the rays of the red
supcame through anentryway- between two
tail buildings and lighted up the west
slope of an unusually tall pile of rubbish.
Ono of the rays kissed something and n
star spa led there. The old woman leaned
over in order To see the better. II seemed
that another ray Joined the first. and the
thing on the dump sparklcd more.
womanlike, the first thing that Mary did
after she picked the object up and found
II WAS a ring, was to try it on. She walked
away fumbling the thing ncrvously as she
went. Then she went back and got the

Inquiries about bicycles revealed the
fact that "our uncle" will have none of
them. They are like women's clothes--go
out of st yle; and while there is hope that
the evolution Of styles will sometimes
stop and glance back to Anticipated fash
ions. there is no prospect of return to the
ice-wagon pattern of wheel. There are few
people so far cured Of the bicycle mama
that they will part with their steel steeds
for a time; and the fact that wheels are
valueless as pledges works no great hard
ship.
