These judgments were formed i'm.

them were originally written
therefrom, in private letters to
Secretary Stanton. 1t is safe ct
prophesy that whatever else they
may be, they are such as to leave
the reader in no doubt as to their
import. Mr.. Dana always called

at work. The people who were
idle under the Wilson tariff ofthe
Popocrats are employed. The peo.
pie who were employed under that
tariff are getting higher wages.
What caused the change! Faith,
Of business men, capitalists, EN-.
ployer. Of labor and money, in the
Republican party and its we'll tried

The tariff had nothing to do
with i,s It has everything to do
with it. Canadian eggs and
chickens are shut out on the north
and Mexican cattle on the south.
The American market for the
American farmer, is the Republic

it always has worked, Tor tae vel

The Kansas farmer gives away

VARIOUS NOTES.

Shoes For Children-Toilet Hiuts--Tailor
1St- Made Costumes. w." a..
Children should always wear Needless
boots and shoes with wide. square toes.
When young children show an inclination
to turn the ankles in walking, high laced
boots are preferable to low shoes or slip
pers, as boots give degree Of support to
the ankle joint. Fat, heavy children arc
slower in attempting to walk than are
small, delicate ones, and there ought never
to be any attempt to force or coax a child
to bear wei ght on its feet before 1t displays
tho natural impulse to do SO. When the
legs and feet arc strong enough to carry
tho body, the child will walk Of its own
accord.
After exercise of any sort which has
flushed tho face or caused it to perspire it
should never be bathed in cold water,
strong as the temptation Is to indulge in
such refreshing ablution. Warm or hot
water should be used, with fine soap, and
