my Life is Thine"

IA
hear once more the grating oil a
prison key behind me. cutting me off
rom Notwithstanding on me the
1oor of hope! For some moments the
misery OF it overwhelms me; it wrlncs
ny strings, and l am fain to
groan aloud as l lean against the wall,
All is dark before my eyes, whilst nv
anguished soul cries, Lost. Lost.
God-forsaken!"s
Suddenly l feel a rough hand grasp
my shoulder. l am swung forward
and find myself the centre of a score
Of faces all grinning and peering into
nine. l am taken so completely by
surprise that for a few moments | stare
stupidity from n to the other. | had
thought myself alone. and behold I
am surrounded by a herd of hooking
devils! On every visage, young and
Ola. The father OF lies has set his vile
stamp.
My looks fall on a short broad,
powerfully built man, in the black
sheepskin cap of a Cossack, under
which a pair of bold. black eyes glitter
and dance like wild-fire. His enor-
nous mouth is stretched until its cor
ners almost meet his big, prominent
ears. He stands before me now, with
his big. broad hands on his sides, his
body thrown back, and both attitude
and mein %bespeaking insolent de-
6ance.
'Confound your i]mpudence! What
mean you?' | roar.
Il merely wish to look at YOU,
brother" he replies, with cool de-
liberation. Il am interested. we are
all interested in our brother in af1ic-
ton"
You insolent presuming houndn'
l gnash my teeth in fury. The laugh
that goes round makes it blaze I'D like
Oil on flames. l make a rush so yio-
lently and unexpectedly on the Cos.
sack that he staggers back. and but
for those behind him would have
fallen. ':By -. you shall also feel
mo- l gasp.
A hubbub of voices is raised. go
on! At him! Show your mettle, little
father! Embrace, brothers! At him!
At him."
The Cossack has regained his BAL
ance. His huge nostrils swell out
his breath PUSHES through them with
q snorting noise like a horse. He
bends his head forward as does a bison
preparing for an attack. In another
moment he has darted on me, and his
~prematurely long arms encircle nv
middle like bars of iron.
'Coward!" | hiss. and deal him .
blow on the head that makes it. ,e-
sound like the cracking of a cocoan1+
against the floor.
His limbs relax. a deep oroan
escapes his breast and l am free to
rise. I do SO and stand gasping for
breath and looking down on nv pros
trate foe. His jaw drops, and his
black eyes roll up exhibiting the
whites. giving him the ghastlv SEM
blance of death. And now that nv
passion has spent itsolf, I sh,1dder
with disgust at my own folly and deg
radiation.

Senator Harris of Kansas claims to

New England is much concerned
about free hides. Some of her biggest
industries, especially that Of boots and
shoes, have been built up during our
quarter of century Of free hides. She
now sells boots and shoes in all parts of
the world. Taxed hides would cripple
this and other industries. Her leading
senators pretend to represent her and to
put up a fight for free hides. In reality
they will, if necessary, sacrifice free
hides to obtain high duties on sug-
ar with plenty of margin for trust prof

"a License to steal.. /.

That must have been embarrassing
information TO the United States senate
which Statistician Carroll d. Wright fur
nished that body last week concerning
the labor cost of lumber in this country
and in Canada. His figures showed that,
while the average wages in Canadian
sawmills is $l.4l and $l.7l per day
here, the average labor cost OF 1000
feet of lumber is 81. 90 in Canada and
only 81 cents here The decreased cost
of production in this country is attrib-
uted TO the superior machinery used.
OF course the figures prove the free
trade contention that the rate of wages
paid does not indicate the cost of pro-
duction-that low wages are very often
more expensive to employers, and vice
versa. But these hard facts furnished
by an officer Of the government will not
dissuade the lumber barons from their
purpose to get a tariff on Canadian lum-
Der so that they can the more effeotually
rob American consumers. Protectionists

prlces of Llnens 90 rn.

When the tariff bill was about to be
framed, the Republican leaders stated
that they desired to be moderate and to
avoid anything like excessive rates. Mr..
Aldrich, when introducing the amended
measure into the senate, claimed that
his rates were generally lower than
those OF the house bill. The linen
schedule, however, is a notable one of
many exceptions. In it the senate rates
are higher than those Of the house and
much higher than anything ever before
known.
Under the Mckinley bill of 1870 lin
ems were assessed SO per cent, with "a
few exceptions as high as 80 per cent
ad valorem. Under the rates proposed
by the senate large proportion of the
goods in everyday use will be assessed
from 60 to 50 per cent and in some
cases over 100 per cent. The following
table shows some Of the changes in the
cost of medium and low grade linens:

The domestic manufacturers in whose
interests these changes are supposed to
be made have stated that they do not
deserve over 90 per cent duty on linen
goods, and one of the principal manu-
facturers of linen and cotton handker-
chiefs in America tof Acheson, Harden
& Co., Passaic, n. J. states that he does
not desire any advance Of duty on his
goods.
The gross injustice of these duties
can be appreciated when it is remem-
bered that, owing to climatic condi-
tions, good fiber fax cannot be grown

this country, and when 1t is further re-
