The farmers of the country will prob
ably be interested in the fact that the
August QS9O importations of wool
under the new protective tariff were
but a little more than half those of
August, 1896, under the free-trade tar
if then in operation, and that the i'm
portatlon of manufactures of wool in
August, 1887, were less than one-sixth
those of August, 1896, in value.
Wheat has again dropped below the
dollar mark, to the great delight of the
silverites, who cannot bear to see a
bushel Of wheat worth two ounces of
silver, when only year ago an ounce
of silver and bushel of wheat were at
the same price. The fluctuations of
the white metal during the year are
sufficient to prove the danger of at
tempting TO make it money metal on
the plan of the Democrats of 1896.
X
At the risk of causing pain to the
free-trade advocates who have insisted
that the adoption of a protective sys-
TEN would destroy our foreign market
for American manufactures, their at
tention is called to the fact that the ex-
portation of domestic manufactures
from the United States in the first
month under the Dingley law was near
ly two million dollars more than in the
corresponding month of the preceding
year under the Wilson law. When to
this is added the fact that the Septem-
Der expectations of domestic merchan-
disc of all kinds were twenty millions
greater under the Dingley law than
those of September, 1896, under the
Wilson law, it will be seen that the
dismal predictions of the loss of our
foreign market by the enactment of a
protective tariff are not being rapidly
realized.

Brute Instinct.

Natural laws pertain to all things,
and certain laws govern the conduct of
brute society. But that the actions of
the lower animals are ever prompted
by sense of duty is not only extreme
ly hypothetical but altogether doubt
full The hen has strong maternal affec-
tion, but that she has the least idea of
the virtue of that affection any more
than of the virtue of doing good for
evil is i'll the extreme conjectural. 1t is
often hard and even impossible to ac-
count for the likes and dislikes of ami
mails The hen will sometimes destroy
certain of her brood and the sow de
vour her own offspring. Much of the
cruelty is practiced upon the brutes for
the lack of thought that they are not
morally responsible They are treated
as if they are conscious OF wickedly
selfish acts l once saw some men look
ing at u drowning mouse in pail of
water lrebuked them, and one of them
IA man perhaps 40 years old-turned
to me and said, "The mouse deserves
it" Why deserved it? Pray tell us
Shall we say it was conscious of the sin
of thieying? Others may try to view it
i'll that way. l do not knew another
man who would hold rats with tongs
and roast them alive In tho fire If he
could not prove that they deserved
their torture he certainly wished to be-
lieyo they did. If we recognize Crea-
tor, is it not most rational to suppose
that he has created the brutes morally
irresponsible and would have us thus
regard them, that our inclination to tor
ture them would be held in restraint

New Mexico Shepherd Rows,

When going up the valley of the Rio
Grande i'll New Mexico, my attention
was drawn to the focks of sheep and
goats and their pastores or shepherd
boys. These little shepherds wore
neither hats nor shoes. Their only gar
ment was tunic, reaching little be-
low the knee and confined by girdle,
from which depended small pouch
or scrip. A quiver, with bow and ar
rows, hung athwart the shoulders. and
the right hand held sling. Presently
a stone from the scrip was hurled for
ward toward the right or left to make
the flock swerve to the left or right. 1t
was impossible not TO recognize little
David, the son of jesse" and one
might have almost expected to behold
Goliath, the Philistine, coming to defy
the children Of Israel.
The portraiture Of the scene described
in the book of Samuel was too exact to
be ascribed TO accident, and for the first
time it occurred TO me that David bore
a sling, not for the purpose of Staying
bears or lions-or even Philistines-but
TO guide and control the flock, and that
these little shepherds of kindred race,
dwelling in country not unlike the
pastoral regions of Judea, very natural
ly continued to re-enact tho scenes de-
scribed in sacred history, - Catholic

Pertinent Reply.
1t is reported that Mr.. Tyler, from
the time Of his election to the vice
presidency of the United States until
the death OF General Harrison, kept
no carriage, owing to the insufficiency
OF his salary. When, however, he
found himself elevated to the chief
magistracy of the country, the finan-
cial difficulty being removed, he de-
termined to set up an equipage. He
bought a fine pair Of horses, engaged
an Irish coachman, and proceeded to
look about for vehicle to suit his
tastes. He heard of one which was
for sale by q gentleman residing in
Washington, and went to look at it. 1t
had been driven only few miles, and
was in excellent condition, SO that the
president, after careful examination,
felt satisfied with 1t. Before finally
deciding the matter, he took his Hiber-
nian coachman to have a look at the
carriage and give his opinion of it. cts

led Mr.. Tyler whimslcally, do you

HER SOUL UNBURDENED.


Charley Wheeler and Lucille Sprock-
EFT had been married nearly three weeks,
and they had just returned from their
wedding trip. They were supremely
happy in each others love, and the
honeymoon so far had been to them as
one long, blissful dream. Within tho
next day or two however, the bride
grew slightly depressed in spirits, and
an uneasy feeling seemed to take pos
session of her. The young husband no
tieed the change, but attributed IL to
fatigue from the recent travels But his
bride grew more nervous and took ON
such II troubled expression that he said
TO her.
You have something ON your mind,
darling that is troubling you. Tell me
what IL is -
At first she tried to persuade him
that he was mistaken, that nothing
worried her
You are wrong, Charley, dear, ="
she would say. Really, / am not wor-
rying over anything ] am just as
happy as l can be. "
The day following, however, the
young wife wore such troubled look
that her husband said to her:
Lucille, you must toll me what is
troubling you. l will not be put off any
longer. As your husband have a right
to know.
Seeing that further concealment was
impossible, she broke down and sobbetl
bitterly:
"Oh, Charley, | am so unhappy
she walled IL ave-deceived-you. +"
a sickening sensation swept over the
young husband, Surely there must be
some mistake. She, whom he had looked
upon ms the personifcation of innocent
omanhood--deceivo himi 1t must not
be. 1t would destroy his Happiness and
blight his life. And then, when he
caught II sudden vision of tho horrible
possibilities of tho situation, he became
sick ut heart and almost fell to the
floor. Then, with great effort, he
controlled his feelings
Tell mo, he said IL am prepared
for the worst "
"Oh. Charley, | am so sorryl"
You should have thought of this be-
fore

Tell me first that you will forgive
