Let us do our work In the United States
and there Will not be an idle man beneath
our flag.-From Maj. McKinley's Veranda
Speeches.
According TO Mulhall, the great Eng
lish statistician, the United States pro-
duces nearly one-third of all the manu-
featured products In the world. These
figures are undoubtedly approximately
correct. All our manufactures, or the
equivalent of them, we consume our
selves. That is, we consume one-third
as much in manufactures as all the rest
of the world. In other words, our home
market is one-third as great as the
markets of all the rest of the world, in
GLIDING both their imports and their
consumption of home manufactures.
The population of the world, leaving
ourselves out, is about 1 400, 100000. We
consume, then, in manufactures, as
much as nearly 500,000,000 of the other
people OF the earth. Before these facts
further proof of President McKinley's
statement, as given above, Is unneces-
sary. "Our work" Is equal TO what
would be required by half the popula-
ton OF the rest OF the world. That Is
enough to keep every man and woman
in the country busy. And II will keep
busy everyone who is willing TO work,
when we get the chance 10 do our own
work, as we will under Mckinley and
protection.

Pie CRUST.



An original way of making pic-crust
has been evolved by one woman who al
ways attends TO this part of the cook
ing herself and will not trust IL to any
servant. Her family are all fond OF
puff-paste, but the work OF making It'll
SO great and SO peculiar in its details
that IL cannot possibly be often under
taken by busy woman who has not
the time for fussing required. So this
particular cook made up" very. fair
substitute for the fialy crust, and yet
not so much bother as the ordinary
recipe for family pies" most in use.
She mixes one pint of -four with half
pint of lard by chopping the latter in
with the chopping knife till IL looks like
a fine dust. OF course her utensils are
all cold, and she does this in a cool
place, as far as she can get from the
kitchen range. She then adds one tea
spoon of baking-powder well though
lightly stirred in. This is followed by
enough ice water TO make "A not very
soft dough. IL Is turned out, hand
ling as little as possible. on a Toured
board, and bits Of butter stuck over the
dough once fOiIeu OUT. his Is tntH
lightly made into long roll with the
finger tips, and again pressed out with
the rolling pin. More bits of butter
are added and the roll again made.
Three times is enough for the process,
and then IL is best to set the dough
away inside the refrigerator, never,
MS Catherine Owen, the cooking teacher,
used to advise, upon the ice itself, for an
hour or two. The proportion Of but
ter used in all is one-quarter pint TO
the pint of flour. The crust may now
be rolled into shape and baked. IL
makes flaky, rich and delicious tart.
although, as will be noticed. il is eco
nomical, comparatively little butter
entering into its compositions. This
same cook prefers part lard to all but
ter, and will not use the suet or cot
ton-seed substitutes for the latter at
all in pie-crust, admirable as they prove
for other purposes. She says that
they make a tough crust, which hers
certainly Is 'not.--N. Y. Post.

FULFILLING ITS PROMISES.
The Republican Administration Ii
Acting Upon Honor.


The address of Gen. Grosvenor to the
republican convention at Toledo the
other day was pitched in the proper
key, and in fact the only key in which
il would have been wise to address that
body. He spoke not only for the re-
publicans of Ohio, but for the national
administration, and the coming falls
campaigns, wherever national ques-
tions enter into them, will be fought on
the lines he has laid down.
Before everything else, Gen. Grosve-
nor puts the facts that the republican
party has kept faith with the people.
About a return of prosperity he points
out that two things are TO be con-
sidered: There was an expression Of
opinion that prosperity would return
with a reinauguration of republican
policies; and that an upward tendency
in everything is observed as the result
OF republican success last November.
Prosperity is returning, though not as
rapidly as people for four years sunk
in distresses could wish. But the posi-
tive promise made last year, that GER
tain things would be done in the event
of republican success, is being kept to
the letter, and Gen. Grosvenor chall<s
off the list as accurately as n tally-clerk.
This being true, Gen. Grosvenor appeals
for an Endorsement of the people at the
polls, and the holding up of the partys
hand pending n fair trial of the meas
ures the party Is making itself RESPONSE
BILE for.
This puts the issue fairly and squarely
before the country. The question Is not
as to whether the party in power is
miracle worker. No responsible claim
to that power was ever advanced. But
this is the question: Can the party In
power be trusted to keep faith with the
people? Gen. Grosvenor replies in the
affirmative, and cites the st. Louis plat
form and the party's performances
since the 4th of March as proof of his
assertion. The party is fulfilling its
promises, and the results, he predicts,
will fully meet the general expectation.
This, then, is the point. The people
In November voted the republican party
into power 10 do certain things, and in
the belief that prosperity would grow
out of those things. The party is as
diligently as possible obeying It's In
structions. Ought not IL therefore 70
be sustained at least until the fruits of
its labors shall have had time 10 ripen?
II the party's policies will not work, the
party cannot hope TO keep it's place. But
they ought MOTTO be repudiated at the
polls until they have had fair trial.

President McrxinIey's plan Il n safe

OmEs
The announcement that President
Mckinley, instead OF recommending
congress TO provide for q monetary
commission, as he had contemplated,
has decided to wait until December, and
at that time present a plan Of currency
reform and urge it's adoption Is well
come news.
This is the true, practical method.
and conforms precisely to the idea q
an administration elected by the peo-
pie 10 carry out particular political
policy. IL is the method observed in
Great Britain and in France, and it. is
the only way in which the popular will
can be given complete effect. The most
successful of our own administrations
in the past have been those which
adopted this policy.
Whatever might be hoped from the
labors of n commission, if made up of
practical flnanciers, in the way of
satisfying all classes Of the people, the
more the political complexion of the
senate as now constituted is studied
the more hopeless the realization OF
such a scheme becomes. Even IL the
senate would agree to n commission,
which is doubtful, its appointment
would be so hemmed about with condi-
tons and IL members be taken from
such diverse elements that all expectn-
ton of concord and uniformity would
have To be abandoned. There would be
at least two and perhaps a half dozen
reports, so that after the commission
had done wrangling the dispute would
simply be transferred to congress,
where the battle has to be fought out Mt
the last. The discussions before such
a commission would only have the eff
feet of prematurely stirrig up the coun-
try without accomplishing the least
good.
Secretary Gage, who is equipped for
this work as few of our secretaries
have ever been, and in whose mastery
of the subject the nation has every con-
fidence, aided by those whom he will
call into consultation, will formulate
plan of currency reform that will be
both simple and adequate. Among his
advisers and aids will doubtless be the
committee on banking and currency
of the house and the finance committee
OF the senate, so that the measure
agreed upon may be favorably re-
ported.
The plan itself will embody the con-
illusions of the indianapolis confer
ence, which already have the assent of
the business interests Of the country.
What the people demand is an inyiol-
able currency, safe banking system,
and a monetary standard good the
world over.
These the administration of Presi-
dent Mckinley will give them at the
earliest practicable day.-Chicago
Times-Herald.

ABOUT LETTER WRITING.
some Points for the Consideration OF
Correspondents.

Begin your letter to n woman friend

pointment to her Majesty Mrs. Grundy.
For, with a logical severity reasons this
not-to-be-contradicted authority, IL is
henceforth to be considered vulgar and
impertinent TO call a mere friend or
acquaintance your dear" The letter
writer directs his pupils TO begin their
notes or epistles with easy, friendly SEN
fences and conclude with the words, es-
TEEN, respect, or new cut-and-dried
phrases: "In hopes of an early meeting.
1 am yours, etc." or, lin pleasant antici-
patton of seeing you soon, / ain yours,
etc" IL Is dstressingly 'inelegant to

ever took place was that OF 22 men in
the Lake shore shops at Buffalo, who
refused TO obey the request asking
them TO wash their hands and faces on
quitting work at noon hour. The
master mechanic says they were not
ordered TO wash, but requested TO do
so, and that they left of their own ac-
cord. The men, however, assert that
IL was an imperative order, aud that
they refused To obey II because too
many were required To use the same
water, and they were afraid OF couta-

ing duty of 2H cents per pound on all
imported cotton uncleaned, is but sim
pie justice to the south. If you decline
TO accept my amendment for duty on
raw cotton, then you should i'm JUS
tice strike out from this bill all duties
on the manufactured article.
In my opinion, this idea of cheap
ness is all wrong. and is rapidly lead
ing our people into great difficulties.
Cheap products mean cheap men, and
cheap men mean national decay and
retrogression. Cheap products is but
another term for poorly-paid labor,
which in turn Is sure TO bring want,
rags and Indebtedness. Hard times
and cheap products always walk hand
in hand, while good times and higher
prices always run together. This has
been true in the past, and no doubt
will continue true in the future. The
products of labor for years have been
gradually cheapened, and both debt
and financial disaster have followed
closely in it's path. The argument for
free raw material in order TO cheaper
the manufactured article cannot en-
terrain. 1t Is IA theoretical assump-
ton based upon the false idea that
man who sells bale of cotton for five
cents per pound can buy more cloth
than he could with cotton at ten cents
per pound
