Protection Did Not DO 1t.
From the New York Post Qnd).

Protection was not needed to build up
the cotton industry of the south. 1t came
to life in spite of the competition of New
England. No tariff ever helped it to the
extent of one farthing. Nor would it be
less prosperous if all tariffs were removed
to-day. 1t stands on bedrock and will
outlast all the protective tariffs magma

Notwithstanding the ruling of the treas

skins are not dutable as hides, the an
nouncement comes from New England
that shoes will not be cheaper. There
are other expenses, it is said, which will
cat up the difference between the cost of
free calfskin and dutiable calfskin. The
consumer, it may be remarked, always
gets the short end Of the rope.

The New York Commercial Advertiser
says: 1T is curious that South Carolina
has returned to a property qualification
for voting" 1t IS not so curious as the
Commercial Advertiser seems to think,
when the actual condition of affairs in that
state is understood. The educational and
property qualifications for voting were
adopted in South Carolina in order 10 get
rid Of the great majority of the black vot
ers. In that state fully half of the popu-
lation is black, and the ignorant black
voters were constant menace to good
government. If they and their white allies
should get control Of the state. or of any
county. ruin would follow their rule. If
the majority Of them had the right to vote
there would be vastly more corruption in
the politics of the state than there is be-
cause the contending white factions would
become the purchasers of their votes That
is the condition of affairs in nearly all the
cities in Georgia at the present time. At
the municipal elections held recently in
Augusta, Brunswick and other cities, the
black voters We're bought freely 1t would
be the condition in state elections if the
populist party were strong enough to put
the result in doubt. South Carolina could
not afford to have such large purchase
bic vote, and therefore by a constitutional
provision she practically eliminated it.
Mississippi has followed the example of
South Carolina, and the ignorant black
citizen in that state doesn't reach the bal
lot box. He is stopped on his way there
by the registration officer Louisiana has
called constitutional conven-
ton, and it is about certain
that she Will adopt the educational and
property qualifications for voting. She has
had all the experience with the ignorant
black voter she intends to have. and her
new constitution will practically eliminate
him from her political affairs He has kept
her people from dividing upon political
questions and has done her great harm in
other ways
1t would not be surprising if other south
ern states should follow South Carolina.
Mississippi and Louisiana in getting rid of
the ignorant black voter 1t is quite GER
tain that some Of them will, if he continues
to be a corrupt and disturbing factor in
their political affairs. The republican party
made great mistake when it gave the ne
gro the ballot before he was ready for it,
That mistake is being slowly corrected.

Mere money making seems not to nave
satisfied Barney Barnato. He wanted to
have the fun of spending money too, and
to enjoy every thing that it would buy.
His taste in this particular is in vivid con-
trast to that of the late Mr.. Joseph Rich
ardson of New York, who died Ju ne s.,
leaving fortune estimated at thirty mil
lions. He was about eighty-three years
old, and his long life had apparently been
passed very much to his satisfaction. He
was contractor of great energy and dill
gence, and laid the foundation of his for
tune in that calling. He was millionaire
when the civil war began, and as long as
he lived he kept on earning more money,
and investing his gains with excellent
judg ment. He built water works, rail
roads, and many great buildings, and was
very proud of some of his professional ex-
ploits but the work for which he was most
famous was the erection of a tours story
house on a five foot strip of land at the
northwest corner of Lexington Avenue and
Eighty second Street. He happened to
own that little strip of land A man who
had planned to build a block adjoining it
offered him 81, 900 for his holding. He
wanted $4,000, and failing to getit conclud-
ed to build himself house, which he did
very ingeniously, and lived in it for fifteen
years. He had summer place at Bridge
port, Connecticut, but the five-foot house
was his home for half the year.
Mr.. Richardson's ideas were somewhat
peculiar, and recall those of the late Mr.
Fayerweather, who left so much money to
colleges; but we cannot deny him the
measure of respect which is due to man
who lives out his life according to his own
preference instead of patterning after some
one else. He liked to make money, and he
made great deal; he liked to save money
and he saved nearly all he made; he did
not enjoy spending money, so he spent
little By his will he left $50, 600 to a
clergyman, $17,500 to the Central Park
Baptist church, and the rest OF his fortune
to his wife and two children. Harper s

Nature.

"No summer songs more sweet to hear,
Than notes from the woodland ringing
The SpaShing of Streamlet, hulnming of
bees,
And the song of the wild birds singing"
Gods beautiful flowers, birds, green
grass and trees, are all inexpressibly
grand and never failing source of COM
fort. In the glad spring time all the
world awakes from its slumber. The
trees that stood like tall sentinels with
their naked branches, again throw to the
breeze their beautiful banners of green,
and all the fragrant flowers and sweet
singing birds follow. Streams and brook
let's, which have been held in icy bounds,
are now flowing amid their banks with
glad ming song"
Those who know what the experiences
are of several long weary years of illness,
think would agree with me that now is
one of the times when it is hard to submit
to the inevitable and remain indoors.
There arises in memory thoughts OF the
time when we, too, went forth to gather
the earliest violets; but let us try to look
at the sunny side and remember that Tour
Affections will work for US far more ex-
ceeding and eternal weight of glory"
as it the Lord that shuts me in
Then I can bear TO wait!
No place so dark, no place so poor,
So strong and fast no prisOnlng door
Though walled by grievous fate,
But out of it goes fair and broad
An unseen pathway, straight to God,
By which | mount to Thee,
When the same Love that shut the door
Shall lift the heavy bar once more,
And set the prisoner free
We are glad that from our window we
can see some of the beauties of nature.
Let us take for our first picture, 4flel
some lovely day, the beautiful sunset,
just as its departing roseate rays are
cleaning among the dark green foliage
and the sky is changing from purple and
crimson to gold; and at last the sun sinks
down and the shadows lengthen across
the room, and in the twilight Mrs. Whit
ney's beautiful thought comes Ikea sweet
benediction:
"Bey0nd the sunset are the hills of God"
Time flies swiftly and after the intense
heat of summer we pass on to the beauti-
full days when autumn's holocaust
''burns gold and crimson over all the
hills" How essential it is that in the
spring time of our lives we cast along the
furrowed ground seed that will spring III
into everlasting life; for every day We are
one day nearer the Beautiful City. Goo
loves us with an everlasting love, and lei
us love Him and strive to live so thai
when at the golden portals we are stand
ing we may hear the sweet words, "Entel
thou in to the JOY of thy Lord
"Grander than oceans story,
Or songs of forest trees
Purer than breath OF morning,
Or evenings gentle breeze.
Clearer than mountain echoes
Ring ont from peaks above
Rolls on the glorious anthem
| OF Gods eternal love.

five-franc piece, 900 grains fine. The
silver dollar of Mexico, the United States.
Spain, Peru and Chile, circulate freely at

childless woman has missed the greatest
pleasure in the universe. She has missed the
vague, soft caresses of helpless, sweet little
hands that cling to her with blind love and
dependence. She has missed the miracle
OF motherhood She is not truly woman.
If she is to be mother, she must be
healthlly capable. A weak, sickly woman
is not to be expected to bear healthy child.
Bearing an unhealthy child is a crime-pun-
lshable by Nature infexible laws Punish
able with misery and remorse. The wonder
is that there should be unhealthy women
and unhealthy children. 1t is the fault of
the women. Their ill health is unnecessary
They may be perfect women, and bear per
feet children-easily and without pain if
they choose to do so.
