HIGHEST SCALE OF WAGES.
Mckinley Wants Ia Advance Pros
perity That VIII Give ThA.

Advance always that prosperity which
enables the employer 10 pay the highest
scale Of wages TO the workingmen or Amer
lea, not tho lowest. Exalt the character
OF your labor; never degrade it.-From
Maj. McKinley's Veranda Speeches.
The maxim of the free traders is:
"Buy where you can buy the cheapest"
This applies to labor as well as to
everything else. The free traders be-
lieve in cheap labor. They recognize
the fact that the foreign manufacturers
can produce cheap goods because they
employ cheap labor, and only because
of their cheap labor. And il is this
system Of pauper labor which they
would perpetuate by their system of
free trade; and not only perpetuate.
but introduce into this country. They
would cheaper products by cheapen-
ing men" And IL is that they may
subject American workmen to unre-
stricted competition with that cheap
labor that they are striving for free
trade. The commodity which they
most Of all want TO be cheap is labor.
No laboring man should lose sight of
that fact for a moment. The doctrine
OF protection, on the other hand, is to
make everything cheap but labor, and
10 make nothing cheap nc the ex-
pense OF labor. And our whole
Industrial history has proved that
the system OF protection, while IL
exalted the character of American
labor, has, in addition, invariably Sc
cured the greatest ultimate cheapness,
because 1t has elevated men and by so
doing secured from them their high
est degree OF skill, has stimulated their
inventive genius and so has reaped the
benefit OF improved methods Of pro-
duction. III the issue between
protection and free trade were
only a question OF cheapness, still pro-
lection would bear the palm. But the
question is broader one than that,
viz; the elevation or the degradation of
American labor. The voters made their
choice on November third, when they
elected 20 the presidency the man
whose policy Is In line with his words:
"Exalt the character Of your labor;
never degrade t."

TREATING BAeY's HAIR.
washing and Care Required to Make
Fine Locks.

In caring for an infant from it's
earliest moments until grown large
enough to care for its own needs, the
hair should receive the most careful
attention.
Many mothers think that the heads
of infants, whether covered early by n
thick growth of hair of a fine, almost
invisible down, need little washing,
consequently thick coating as white
as the scalp at first, but gradually
darkening with age, until of an ugly,
brown color.
Through this growth the hair must
force itself IL il grows at all, and often
the weak little hirsute arrangements
become discouraged and send out only
q few struggling hairs, where a thick.
short down should appear.
To encourage a healthy growth tho
infants head should be washed daily
just as the infants body Is by hath
ering gently with CASTLE soap and
rinsing in warm water.
This keeps the head clean and free
from the peculiar growth. II, however.
IL has made its appearance, very gentle
but decided means should be employed
TO eradicate IL.
Mix together n teaspoonful OF borax,
powdered, and tablespoonful of white
vaseline, and with the mixture and the
finger ends rub gently but thoroughly
the head. Let IL stand half an hour or
less, and then wash with plenty of cas-
tile soap and warm water.
Al a - T.. =
first application, renew IL next morn
ing until the head Is perfectly clean.
When children's hair is trashy" or
unruly, locking life and gloss, this
treatment will be beneficial also.
Rub the mixture in thoroughly and
then wash out, brushing the hair thor
oughly when dry. Never use a wet
brush on the children's heads to keep
them in order; rather brush them aud
wash them until they become silken and
pliable, remaining as arranged by tho
natural life and oil of the hair itself
Never use oils or dressing on n child's
hair. Perfect cleanliness Is more 20 be
desired than the sickness oils impart;
then head well CREASED will catch and
hold dust that settles upon the scalp,
injuring the growth and vigor Of the
hair materially.
Clipping the ends of the hair when
they have become frayed and split
stimulates new life and causes the
hair to thicken, which. with perfect
cleanliness, and persistent brushing,
will soon repay in silken luxuriance
the care bestowed upon them.
And what is prettier than baby with
fine head of curly locks ?-St. Louis
Republic.

Among the handsome cuffs and col
lars for tailor costumes are those made
OF white sntjn, embroidered in dull
shades of yellow. blue and gray. They
are adjustable, and may be worn with
any costume. They are specially styl-

a dash OF style to a simple costume.
A stylish hat has rather wide brim

Among the novelties is what might
be called n crazy-quilt hat. It Is COM

red braid and dark blue chiffon. A
scarf of chiffon Is wound around the
high crown and looped and pulled into
a large rosette at one side. Lace fans
stand up above this rosette and form
the only other upright trimming.
A novelty in sleeves shows n sec
ton fitting rather snugly around the
arms at the elbows. From this there
are three or five long points that fasten
TO the shoulder where the sleeve Is
sewed into the waist.
There Is a fancy for red millinery,
and this caprice is quite extensively
carried out. Red with black is very
pretty, and red with French gray is

store It's Prosperity.
"Farming docs npt pay as It once
did" is the first line of letter from a
correspondent of the American Econo-
mist, who also thinks that under pres
emit conditions the outlook for better
times Is anything but fattering. His
summary of existing conditions is as
follows:
The prices now obtainable for farm
products. except for hay and for wheat
during the present season, do not pay
the expense of production. The pres
ent price of wheat is caused by the fail
IRE of the crop in many wheat produc-
ing countries. notably in India and in
Australia, and hence the price now pre-
vailing is likely to be only temporary.
Free wool killed the wool industry of
the country as a money-maker. Corn is
now selling In central Ohio for from
10 to IS cents per bushel, and oats at
IS cents per bushel. These prices will
not pay the cost of production II Is
not much better IN live stock. The use
of electricity as a motive power has done
away with the use OF many thousands
of horses, and good horse does not
now bring in the market enough TO
pay for his raising. Cattle and hogs
are better. but they are low in price
II is evident that the American farmer
must produce something in addition to
his usual crops.
What can be produced on American
farms other than the crops now pro-
duced? Over 100000 900 worth of prod
ucts OF the soil are now annually inn
ported, all of which might be produced
at home, and that money be kept at
home. Not n pound of sugar, nor a
pound Of wool need be imported, nor
yard OF linen, nor of hemp cloth, nor
of cordage, nor of silk, nor an egg, nor a
pound OF butter, nor ton Of hay, nor
any except few kinds Of fruits. En-
courage by bounty or by duty. the pro-
ducton of these articles ana others not
named; turn a deaf ear TO false cries
of the free traders; provide employ
nrent to hundreds of thousands of our
own citizens in the production Of these
articles, and American farms will soon
pay again. The free traders would lift
up their voices and cry aloud, but they
should not be listened TO, the expert
ence of the past three or four years is
sufficient answer TO all they may say.
We should import mo articles from
other countries which we can produce
in sufficient quantities on American
farms. The writer lives in a splendid
agricultural section, but the farmers
are not making money. nor can they at
present prices for the kinds Of prod
ucts they raise. If the incoming con-
gress and administration will da what
is expected. and pass some good, whole
some American laws, full of protection
for American industries and American
labor, once more the farm and the shop
will pay. and the hideous figure Of hard
times will disappear from our land.

ACCORDING to government estimates
the amount of submerged land from
the Mississippi overflow on April o was
about 1880 square miles, the region
containing n population of about $780,
600. Tho flooded districts comprised
about 40,0 farms, OF which is, 500
were In Mississippi, 10, 900 In Arkansas
and the rest about equally divided be-
tween Missouri and Tennessee. The
total value of the farms, according 70
the last census, was about s65, 900, 600,
and the live stock on hand January 1,
1897, Is estimated at 81, 500. 900.
