talk about the first week in July. but
they have been making promises Of
that sort from the beginning. as every

UZThe dissensions and divisions in
the late democratic party grow more
complicated as the days pass. Not con-
tent with the loss of the most influential
element of the party by the advocacy
of free silver last fall, the fragment
which still claims the name of democ-
racy is again dividing-this time on
protection. Numbers of democrats
from all sections of the country who
voted for high protection in the pend
ing tariff bill are now being read out
OF the party in the senate of the United
States by such erratic representatives
of the popocracy as Senators Mills,
Vest, Jones, and others. II this thing
keeps on there will be no democratic
party left.

MIR. Topper's Drive and the influence
OF the Scot.
G. D. KING.


Of the Scot.
"Now some men are made golfers"
said Mr.. Foozle, land some are born
so. l am not. But the very worst
golfer 1 ever heard of was Topper, OF
this club. I've seen that man slice the
ball so that il would fly in a circle; and
once-only once-I saw e fall on the
tee from which he'd driven it, But
this, as / say, was exceptional-really a
remarkable piece Of luck, l think.
offered to bet he couldn't do it again,
but he wouldn't take me up. Topper
had no sporting blood.
"The fact that the Scotch had so
much TO do with the game of golf," con-
tinued Mr.. Foozle, accounts undoubt-
edly for the lack of humor and fun con-
nected with the game. Now, they laid
out these links on the hill back o me
recently-part on the hill, most OH the
hillside and some in the ditch. They
called one hole the high hole, one the
valley hole and another the hill hole.
The green committee was composed OF
two Scotchmen and an American. 1
happened to know, sir, that the Ameri-
can did everything but go on his knees
to those Scots to get 'em to call the
holes high, low and jack. Any Ameri-
can could see that they ought to be
called high, low, jack; and the ninth
hole-they were the sixth, seventh
and eighth holes-should naturally be
the game hole.
"But those Scotchmen voted him
down; they'd never heard o calling
holes by such names; Badminton said
'nothin' 'Baout it, so the American
was defeated and the thistle waved
triumphantly over Scotland and Amer
ica."-N. Y. Sun.

HOW LABOR is INJURED.
Each Days Delay In Passing Tarfn
Costs 81, 900, 900 20 Americans.

When the imports of foreign goods
into the United States exceed $l00,ooo,-
600 in a single month, as was the case
in April Of this year, il is time to can
hnlt. We find no record of such heavy
receipts Of foreign goods in any month
of this decade since 1890, the largest
previous total being $751; 75, 100 in April,
iso1-just $40, 900, 900 less than now. But
this in no measure makes fair com
parison of the real meaning of such inn
ports. In 1891, in 1892 and in the early
months of 1893 we were highly prosper
Gus, because our people were wen EN-
ployed; they were earning good wages
and had money TO spend for foreign lux
uries over and above their requirements
or necessities which the Mckinley pro-
tective tariff enabled us TO produce at
home in our factories, by our people and
for our people.
But now things arc different. The
deadly blight OF the democratic party's
free trade policy still hangs over us.
| Hundreds OF thousands of our people
are still idle and the wages of those
who are fortunate enough 70 be at work
are below their earnings in 1891, in 1892
and in the early months OF 1893. 1t is
now hard work for the masses of Amer
lean citizens TO furnish even the neces-
saries OF life for themselves and their
families. They have not the means
wherewith TO buy any foreign Injuries.
And the bulk of the foreign goods that
are now entering this country mt the
rate Of 500 ,O00, 900 month are not lux
uries, but goods that. under the policy
of protection, would for the most part
be prevented from entering into COM
petition with our own products, made
by our own people at our own mills.
The S20,O00.000 more foreign goods
imported last April over and above the
value imported In April, 1891; the s4o,-
600 900 imported more than in April,
1896. means what2 II means sec. 100000
more work taken from our people than
they had when they were busy, and S40,-
600 900 more taken from them when
idle. IT means even more thnn this II
we consider the delivery. and sale OF the
Foods, with their incidental charges, &c
the credit of labor. AS compared with
April of 1894 IL means that we are i'm
porting foreign goods at the rate OF
. 81 SOC, 900 day for every working ano
business day OF the month, and IL means
that American wnge-earners are losing

This is made apparent by the discus

putting into their opposition the energy
