Al the meeting OF the Home Mar
ket Club his evening, will Con
gressmen Ding'ey, Mark Hanna or
Senator Hosr answer the following
queslions2 Will they answer them
without fling or jest without claim
iog that they are tree trade argu-
ments, which they are not! VIII
they answer them as vital questions
bearing upon the welfare OF every
man, woman and child of this coun-
try? Failing TO answer them Will
thew give a valid reason for 10,
touching them?
Ii we are In the midst Of prosper
ity why IS it that the s OF living
has been 80 greatly increased:
Why are all the prime %necessaries
0: lite ana the priuci!a a staples so
much higher than a year ago?
Flour lie fully 80 per cent. higher
than at the lowest point a yea: ago
Corn is 8 to 10 per cent. higher
Granula ed sugar is over II per
cent. higher. Molasses is 7 pei
cent to 9 per cent higher.
Pork is over 33 Is per cent
higher.
Mutton i. over % per cent. higher
Potatoes are over 100 per cent
higher.
Apples are more than 100 pei
cent. higher.
Butter is more than Is per cent
higher. Eggs are over 10 per cent
higher.
Wool is from 50 per cent. TO loo
per cent. higher, aud the trade II
WOODEN goods is struggling to &c
the prices Of wooden cloths up to
lar with wool. Who is &c pay TO
this Increased cost OF wooden cloths
Hides are 10 per cent. higher, an.
boot and shoe manufacturers al,
trying hard TO get thus Increased
cost out Of boots aud shoes. Is TIL
OF supreme benefit to the great una
jorIly?
Ii We r extremely prosperon
and daily growing nor SO, how
does it happen that printing cloths
involving one OF our greatest manu-
featuring industries, have just reach
ed the lowest price ever recorded
VIZ, 2 5.l6 cents.
How does it happen that the cot
ton market has continued TO sag II
home marke, only is desirable ? An'
how does it happen that the cottoI
people are setting up the argumen
that the low price OF cotton Is large
ly due to the fact that Europe la
not been buying freely.
Ii a home market is the key not
to pro.perity, h"w does it happe'
that all the good that has CONE t
the farmers OF the West from nighe
wheat is due 10 the tremendous ex
port trade of the past tour or fv

The approaching commemoration oil
Queen Victoria's succession to the
throne in 1887 will bring to mind men
high In church and state whom she has
outlived. Americans will think of the
long line of Presidents who-e official
terms have been completed, or been in
terrupted by death, during the Queens
reign. Andrew Jackson closed his sec
ond term March 4, 1887, and was sue
ceeded by Martin Van Buren,. Then
Harrison, Tyler. Polk, Taylor, Fillmore,
Pierce, Buchanan, Lincoln, johnson.
Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Cleve-
land, Harrison and Cleveland again.
How the mere mention of these names
Of Presidents suggests the volume of
history the momentous years have writ
ten! All but two Of these men have
passed away, but the Queen, with re-
markable vigor and sagacity, still
reigns.

hanna Ambrosius by Lewis Fredericl
Starrett.)
A warm matched roof, a window YER,
small,
A sturdy vine that chambers mp the
wall,
A meadow plat with flowers OF many
kinds,
A narrow path that to the garden
winds,
A little field with fr grove hard by
Wherein full many happy dreams
dream /,
The nocks Of birds that know no fear
of man,
The quiet yard a step or two will span,
OF the blue heaven a glimpse and that
Ny little world. how poor It is. how
small!
Not the best places rich saloons deem
On marble tables where gold goblets
CLEAN,
Nor domes with Ginning bells; do not
crave
On the great world-sea any wonder
wave.
Though Fortunes gifts may elsewhere
more abound,
The sweetest rest Is in the cottage
fnnnd.
The morning the wind with perfume
laden blows.
In hidden hooks the sweetest fruitage
grows.
IF at my board God deign my guest to
be,
Ny little world is large enough for me.
Yet, when the evening bell its call hath
pealed,
And coming homeward, hungry from
the field,
I zee the light smoke from my chimney
rise,
And the sun. setting, paints the west
ern skies,
And my child greets me with his
bounding mirth,
And the bright fame doth sparkle on
the hearth,
And over all breathes evenings sweet
repose
As to the world outside my door /
close,
And stars and more stars come within
my ken,
How great, how beautiful, my world
Is then!
