The Peoples Verdict.

President Mckinley treats the tariff
question as one upon which the people
have decided. No other president ever
had clearer authority for any state
ment than exists for the strong words
which the inaugural contains: Moth
ing has ever been made palmer at a
general election than that the controll-
ing principle in the raising of revenues
from duties on imports is jealous care
for American interests and American
labor. The people have declared that
such legislation will be had as will
give ample protection and encourage
ment 10 the industries and the develop
ment of,our country" IL is significant
that he appeals TO democrats as we'll rs
to republicans in this matter: ITO this
policy we are all, of whatever party,
firmly bound by the voice OF the people
IA power vastly more potential than
the expression OF any political plat
FORM" Those who consider that YER
dict OF the people is only to be respected
and obeyed when IL is their own YER
dict, but 10 be houted and resisted
otherwise as long as possible, may find
that the new president does not appeal
in vain 20 loyal and patriotic spirit
which WAS shown exceptionally in the
November election.--N. Y. Tribune.

homemade Bread IL tho Best fsr
Children.

In the first place do not feed the chill
iren on bakers bread IL you can possibly
manage TO give them good homemade
loaf; the -four used in the ordinary ba-
ker's loaf does not compare favorably
with that used In making bread at
home, as TO the amount of nutriment
contained in II, and the extraordinary
bakers loaf has had the fermenting
process so extended that not n little of
the proportion OF nutriment which IL
originally possessed has been destroyed
before IL is baked. Andagain; the baking
OF the bakers loaf is very frequently SO
indifferently performed as to make of
IL a dangerous article OF food, when
fresh, and no one Graves II stale, except
for toast. And still again; all bakers
are not so superior to the temptation
presented by successfully manipulated
adulterants as TO place their breads be-
yond suspicion.
Then, do not attempt To feed and
nourish children-nor anyone else for
that matter-on the beautiful, white
Loaf of which, in the ignorance of our
hearts, we have been prone TO boast-
AS "staff of life," and that is what our
bread, and, again, especially our chill
dren's bread. is supposed to be, the
beautiful white loaf" is fraud. AS
starch food il Is an eminent success and,
undoubtedly. very delicious, and may
be used occasionally to vary the mo-
notony OF the usual bill of fare. But IL
gives to us little except heat and fat,
while the brown breads give food to all
parts OF the body and constitute u
true, complete food. j sincerely wish
that / could persuade all housemothers
TO take this matter TO heart. Our chill
dren are fed so largely on bread and con-
sumo, comparatively speaking, SO small
proportion of meat that IL is of first
Importance that we should give 10 them
in their bread all the necessary ma
terials for the proper building of their
bodies; and that we should deliberately
give TO them only part OF their proper
food and deliberately throw away't the
rest because OF the foolish prejudice in
favor of white loaf is most rcmarla-
BILE and most ccnsurable. Certainly
there is some choice between the two
kinds Of bread as TO taste, but the diff
ference is so slight and preference
for one or the other so largely matter
OF habit. that this side OF the question
is Of but little moment. And particu-
larly il need not be considered where
the children are concerned, except as
ain argument in its favor, for / have

coNsUMPTIoN.

Busy mills increase the demand for

corn and cotton, which reached their
highest points from 1890 to 1893. during
the last republican administration. The
subsequent decline under democracy
has been serious blow TO farmers. The
check to our industrial progress under
the policy of protection has resulted
in loss 10 farmers through the de-
creased demand for upward of 0,O00.-
600 bushels OF wheat a year since 1893.

cleveland. Tarin reform Policy.

Everyone who has studied the effect
from cause in the last four years cannot
but be convinced that Clevland's policy
of free trade was the cause Of the null
titude OF evils which have afflicted us as
a people, and that an opposite policy
will be the natural remedy to apply 10
the cure. Four years ago MIR. W. j.
Bryan put In his time just as faithfully
and conscientiously. so far as we can
judge, in the cause OF free trade as he
has in the year OF 1896 for free silver,
but with far different results. Then
the principle was involved as TO whether
this country could adopt a policy Of
free trade and still compete with Great
Britain in the markets of the world.
After four years Of trial we have not
only lost the worlds market but our
own likewise, and our workmen are on
the borders OF starvation with treas
ury good many millions short.-The

WEI DRESSING.
How to Prepare and Apply the Damp
Compress.


a wet dressing, or compress, as IL is
the skin, a slightly larger piece of oiled
paper or macintosh above the wet
cloth, and two or three thicknesses of a
still larger piece of flannel above this.
the whole bandaged sufficiently tight TO
exclude the air.
The object of wet dressing is TO re-
lax and soften the skin and the flesh I'M
mediately underneath, and to act as 10
local sedative TO the nerves. It's use
tends TO relieve congestion and infam-
nation. IL also ats as a counter-irri-
tant, drawing organic and deep-seated
Inflammation to the surface.
The wet dressing corresponds 10
warm bath at 0S TO 100 degrees Fahren-
heit. To be OF service IL should be con-
tinued for a considerable time.
This form OF treatment is applicable
to chronic stiffening OF the joints,
sprains and bruises OF all kinds. The
heat and swelling rapidly disappear.
though the stiffness may require prop
er manipulation after the removal OF
the bandage.
BY using IL as counter-irritant, APP
piled to the feet, il is possible to con-
troll the circulation OF the blood in the
brain. A convenient method is 90 wiring
n pair of cotton socks out of warm wa
terri, put them on the feet and cover
them with two pairs OF knitted wooden
socks. A compress may be made for
the hands by using gloves in the same
manner.
Wet dressings applied to the pit of
the stomach arc of great value In in
fiarhmatory conditions of the digestive
tract. In these cases we may simply
use n towel wrung out OF hot water.
The towel is kept in position by two or
three folds OF flannel wrapped around
the body, and should he changed every
hour or two.
BY moistening the compress with lin
iments, mustard or antiseptic solutions
such various effects may be obtained as
the particular nature OF the case seems
