Advice to Young Women.

Dean Talbot of the Chicago univer-
sity as to the advice that she would give
to young woman just graduated says:
THAT would depend greatly on her
temperament, training, home and that
sort of thing. Nearly every one l find,
has an inclination toward some par
ticular work, with plans formulated by
the time she is ready to leave school.
Every young woman should set about
something that is certain, not neces-
sarily profession. 1t may be she Is
needed at home. In that case her duties
are clearly there. To my mind women
are much behind what they could be
and ought to be in their own special
field. Housekeeping is considered
drudgery when in reality it is one OF
the most complicated and difficult pro-
LESSONS. 1t often involves intricate
problems in economies. The proper
preparation of foods is chemical
problem, the principle OF which few
women understand in the least. They
have no conception of the value Of diff
ferent foods or the way in which they
| may be utilized to the best advantage
| The recent discoveries along that line
| have been made BY men when they
should have been made by women Ions
ago."

Apologists OF the Administration Rack
ing Their Brains for Excuses - The
Country's Tremendous Pressure for
Protection

One of the most noticeable things in
connection with the present political
situation is the unmistakable desire on
the part of the members OF the demo-
cratic party to get away from the tarin
issue in the coming political contest
and to fight out the battle on the finan-
ciai question. That some Importance
must be attached to the financial ana
money question generally no one Will
doubt. But republicans everywhere
will do well to note that the import
ance of that question has been very
largely augmented by the action OF the
members of the free trade party in
their frantic desire to get away from
the consequences which have naturally
resulted from their violent assault
upon the industries of the United
States.
1t will be remembered that the pres
ent free trade and prosperity running
administration was scarcely inaugur-
ated before its friends and apologizers
began to complain that the disaster and
devastation which promptly spread
over the country was not the result OIL
the threat of free trade, but was due Il
the unstable condition of the nationa
finances and the uncertainty respecting

Faith Cures.

DR.. James Martineau has this to say
of some faith cures" that came under
his personal observations: One case
came under the doctors own notice
that of an old woman who had been
bedridden for years with rheumatism.
Medicine had done her no good, but
on hearing of this woman's successful
cures she was anxious to see her. An
ALMOST instantaneous cure was erected,
the old woman leaving her bed and be-
coming quite active, well and free
from pain. Now it happened that
there was strong anti-Jewish feeling
at Berlin and one day it came out that
this young woman was a Jewess. The
result of this discovery was remark
able, for in nearly every case the NAL
ady returned. This rheumatic old
woman took to her bed instantly on
learning the news and the next day
was as bad as ever. DR.. Martineau
considered that this showed the double
working of a faith cure. He did not
doubt that the original cures of nerv-
Gus complaints were genuine but they
rested on the belief of the patient, and
when this belief was subsequently un'
dermined by the discovery that thu
| healer was q Jewess the disbelief tha
Jewess could achieve any good thing
proved stronger than the apparent fac
| that she had done so.

the money of the land. Every effort
has been made by the friends OF the ad-
ministration to foster that idea among
the people, and the penalty has been
paid for that folly by the unrest when
has prevailed among many of our peo-
ple concerning the financial question.
The disease went beyond the control OF
the uuack doctors of the administra-
ton. and they are now being repudi-
ated in the house of their friends.
But those who have held strictly to
the fact that the principal trouble with
our country at the present time. ana
the trouble that has upset Industrial
prosperity in the country, is the throw
ing down of the tariff barriers, which
have stood during republican admins
trations between the goods made by
foreign labor and those made by the
labor of this country, find no difficulty
in explaining the causes Of the present
conditions. The hundreds OF millions
of dollars worth of foreign manufac-
tured and manufactured goods which
have entered our markets during the
past two years have contributed much
to reduce the productive ability OF the
American workingmen, and also, by re-
ducing their wages, lessened their
mower TO consume either domestic OF
foreign products.
The tremendous pressure that Is be-
ing felt all over the country at this
time in favor of a return to protection
adequate protection that shall pre-
serve our own markets for our own
people. affords abundant evidence that
a vast majority of these people OF oui
own country understand what the rea
difficulty with American industrial con
d;tions is. and also that they are pre-
paring to vote to change these condi
tions. While it is important that oul
currency shall be OF sound and stable
character. it is of the greatest import
ance that those who toll shall have
opportunities to do so and earn goot
wages in our currency. The only wa!
to obtain these opportunities, and Il
restore the wage conditions which thu
workingmen of the country enjoyed be
fore the blight Of free trade settled
upon the industries of the land. is t
turn out the whole free trade GROVE
and restore the policy of protection.

The Mckinley Idea.

The free trade which England teaches
and cajoles us to follow she fails to
practice at home, and looks forward
with fond expectancy to the time when
that same freedom Of intercourse, that
close commercial union, shall exist In

maintained by the citizens of the

stricted trade among ourselves, no i'm

Wool is more stagnant than ever,
