SYMPHONY OF THE SEA.

Now the billow IS caracolling
Meath the cloudless summer sky
And upon the sand I'm rolling
That may not roast or fry,
And | note gentle pathoS on the throbbing
bobbing sea,
Where the devilIed clam and fishbalI are dis
porting fancy free,
And the white sail in the distance in the
sunshine brightly beams,
And the fairyland about me is the fairyland
of dreams;
Where the gull on happy winglet
At the ocean makes a dip,
While his dingaling linglet
Madly rippleS with a rip,
And he CLEANS the mapping fishlet down
his inner gull to slip.
Like the clumsy armadillo
| am dreaming on apace,
With my knuckles for pillow
At my brainlet's second base.
childish glee,
For these happy, golden moments will re-

They are feeting, they are fitting, to a
realm of yester-years,
Where the ghosts of youth are winging on a
sea of vanished beers;
And I'm in joys airy limbo,
Where l know a gracious host,
While the soft crab gloWS akimbo
On the bosom of the toast,
Which is just the sort Of background
that it beauties the most.
Oh, the shale is on the single,
And the shingles on the shale,
And the batherS troop and mingle
Where the pOrpoiSe wags his tail,
And I'm in a seventh heaven, on the sand so
blazing hot,
For the clam is in the chowder and the

And upon the sea of pleasure Fancy spreads
her rosy sail,
While the sea puss with q news On the

And my fingers like a rat trap

OF brindled stingaree.

A GIGANTIC STRIKE.
Scheme to Unite All Dock LaborerS
of the World in a Vast
Federation.
Copzrighted. 1886. bz the Associared Press

Copyrighted, 1885, by the Associated Press.
London, Sept. 5.-It is reported among
the delegates who are bound for the
trades union congress, which opens at
Edinburgh on Monday next, that all
the plans for a gigantic strike of the
dock laborers of the world at large
have been perfected in everything but
the minutest details and that the most
important labor movement yet con-
ceiyed may be commenced this autumn.
The trades union men who do the
work of the ports of the United King
dom have been working on this scheme
for a long time past and it is looked
upon as likely to be the signal for
new era, not only in the history of trade
unionism, but in the history of all Ia
Dor organizations or secret societies.
Since the year 1889 every strike for
better wages or shorter hours at any
port of the United Kingdom has prac-
tically come to nothing because when
the men went out at any particular
port the trade Of that place has been
transferred for the time being to some
other British continental port and the
strikers have been compelled to sur
render

CAUSE OF HARD TIMES,

Foreigners Withdrawing Money in Fear
OF Free Coinage and Popu1ism.
Financiers tell us that the vaults of
Europe are full of idle money and that
foreigners, who have more clearly per-
ceived the dangers of free coinage than
our own people, have been withdrawing
money from this country for years. The
older civilizations of the world do not
offer favorable opportunities of invest
ment and until our people show prom
Use of honesty this gold will continue to
be boarded in European banks and safe
ty deposit vaults.
Those who are attributing the hard
times to the present monetary system
of the United States have only theory
upon which to base their arguments.
The country never enjoyed a more pros
porous era than during the four years of
Harrisons administration under the
same sound money standard. In fact, all
through the SOS times were generally
good. The election of a man pledged to
destroy the protective feature of our
revenue system and the presence of an
overwhelming majority of revenue men
only" in both houses of Congress, max
ing certain the repeal of the Mckinley
tariff BILL first excited distrust and in
security among the manufacturers and
capitalists of the country. Nothing is
so timid as q million dollars except two
millions, is common phrase embodying
a great truth. The want of confidence
becoming general capital became scarce.
Foreign investors withdrew their funds.
Credit was hard to get. Failures fol-
lowed and down the toboggan slide we
went until the people were eager and
ready to accept any theory. no matter
how hair-brained or visionary. as a So
luton of the impending difficulties.
Then it was that those malcontents

1t is such men as Alteeld who have

perity than anything else. The people
must crush out now and forever the ele-
ment of society represented by the candi-

Ii HUNG CHANG IN CANADA
Will Hurry to the Pacific Coast and
Sail for China Without
Delay.

Niagara Falls, n. Y, Sept Iii
Hung Chang passed over into Canada
by way of the suspension bridge a little
after 9 O'Clock today. The distinguished
Chinaman travelled in a special Canadian
Pacific train, which had been brought to
this side (the first ever brought into the
United States. by the way, especially
for his convenience. The train will ar
rive in Toronto this afternoon, where an
attempt will be made to induce LII to
appear at the exposition, but as he avoids
crowds when he can, he is not likely to
accept the invitation. His purpose now
is to get to the Pacific coast as rapidly
as is consistent with safety and he will
take most of his inspection Of Canada
from the car windows.
He will embark at Vancouver on the
steamship Empress of China September
il, reaching Yokohama fourteen days
later. At Yokohama a Chinese Warship
will be in waiting for the yicerOy and
journey of six days to Shanghai will COM
plete his trip around the world.
1t is understood that Ii Hung Chang
is preparing autograph letters of thanks
to George w. Boyd, assistant general
passenger agent of the Pennsylvania rail-
way, and Gen. Ruger, the Presidents
representative on the tour. Both these
gentlemen have been tireless in their
efforts to make the visit of the distin-
guished visitor a pleasant one, and it is
because of their kindness that the vice
roy desires to write them personal letters
of thanks. He has also expressed his
intention of sending handsome presents
to Mr.. Boyd and Gen. Ruger when he
reaches his home.

around with his walking stick and finally

Want More of This ?

The election Of the Bryan ticket would
mean four years more of the industry
wrecking, labor-robbing, business killing

enues and increasing deficits. 1t would
mean four years more of what we have
had during the past three years.
Have not the people had enough of
this kind of experience? How is it with
the farmers? What is the Wilson Cor
man law doing for them?
Let US briefly cite: 1t knocks the

1t knocks off. Z. cents on every pound
of his hops, and cents on every Dushel
of his corn.
It knocks off 50 on every ton of his
hay.
1t does more knocking off than this,
but this is enough to show that it is
time for the farmers, as we'll as the
representatives of all other American
industries to go to the polls and knock
out the party that proposes to continue
in force the Wilson German tariff law.
The knocking off figures here given
show the difference in the duties on
im~orts under the Republican protec-
tive tariff and the present non-protec-
tive tariff. They show that the farmer
is hard hit by the Wilson-Gorman law.

THE PRICE OF WHEAT.
Its Decline is Due to the Introduction of
Labor-Saving Machines.

Labor-Saving Machines.
The advocates of the free coinage of
silver have made many disciples in the
West because they have told the farmers
that the demOnetiZatiOn of silver was
the cause of the fall in the price of
wheat. and they have said that if silver
were restored to it's rightful place Ill our
monetary system the price of wheat
would rise to 81 a bushel or thereabouts.
The prevalence of belief in this argu-
ment is a curious illustration of the will
ingneSS of men to accept theories which
promise to them what they want even
when they have the proof of the fallacy
of those theories at their doors. All the
Western farmer has to do if he wants
to learn why the price of wheat has
fallen is to go into his barns and look at
his reaping and threshing machines. 1t
is not many years since the first reaper
was put on the market. 1t would do
the work of several men and it reduced
the cost to the farmer of raising his crop
of wheat Then the reaper and binder
was invented and soon came the combi-
nation reaper, binder and thresher, which
still further reduces the cost of raising
his product. In 1888 wheat could be
produced on the big Dakota farms for
Is cents a bushel. There is a para
graph going the rounds of the newspa-
pers this summer describing combina-
ton harvester and threSher that has
recently been shipped to a farm at va
kima, Wash, to be used in harvesting
big crop of wheat. The machine will
cut swath twenty feet wide, will thresh
the grain and put it in sacks ready for
the market as it moves over the field. AS
the labor cost of product fixes its price
it was inevitable that the price of wheat
should fall when labor saving machinery
was used in its cultivation. The West
ern farmers have welcomed every inven-
ton that reduced their labor. They have
not been backward in buying the reapers
and binders and threShing machines
They have used steam engines for power
and have burned the straw for fuel to
make the steam, utilizing every particle
of the product; but they have forgotten
that all these things have forced the
price of their product down. They seek
a remedy now in the free coinage of sill
YER, which they are told would double
which would certainly cut the value of
every dollar in two and leave them~in a
worse position than that in which they
find themselves today. They are just as
mistaken as the saWyers of England who
burned the first sawmill run by water
power that was set UP and hanged the
proprietor. These men did not seek de-
basement Of the currency. They object
ed to the introduction of labor saving ma
chinery because they did not know that it
would ultimately increase their wages
and improve their condition. The West
ernerS have accepted the labor saving ma
chinery which has been the making of
that region and they want to keep their

LITTLE CHILDREN SACRIFICED.

Ardor Led to Their Death.


Ardor Led to Their Death.
Chadron, Neb., Sept. 5.-The tragedy
which resulted in the death of two chill
dren Of Assistant Postmaster Danley
and nearly killed himself and wife has
simmered down to the fact that the fire
was started from the inside and that all
the doors of the house were locked; that
the lamp was burning, and that it did
not explode
The coroner's jury convened at 1
o'clock p. M. Nearly thirty witnesses
have been subpoenaed, including Mr.. and
Mrs. Danley.
Mrs Danley has been for a long time
firm believer in the Christian Science
faith and the fact that Priest Stutzke
of New York city has been for some time
predicting the end of the world on
Wednesday, the day of this tragedy,
leads many persons to believe that Mrs.
Danley had been so far carried away
with her religious zeal that she had de-
termined to take all her loved ones with
her to the heavenly home.
The scientists here are greatly worked
up over the affair, four leading members
of the society being at the trial today
sitting around the coroner and giving
him advice. The citizens are much ex-
aSperated.
