A SONG OF THE PAST.

There is a land-far. very far away
Beyond the hills-beyond the dying day
1t is a silent swift realm, | trow,
The dim forgotten land of long ago.
Oft hand in hand with sorrow,
/ wander there aghaSt
Where there is no tomorrow,
The Dreamland of the PaSti
For me both gold and silvern keys there
are
To the barred portals of that region far;
My golden key-a tress OF golden hair
Unlocks d gate that guards garden fair.
There. amid phantom flowers,
My love roamS, / know,
And dreams in ruined bowers
OF days dead long ago.
I see her as / saw her here of old,
A chaplet bound about her locks of gold !;
But 10. a pensive sadness in her gaze,
And in her eyes the light of other days.
BY dusizy blooms half hidden
She smiles amid her tears,
And then arise unbidden
The ghosts of buried years.
A severed coin l call my silvern key,
And that is now my open, sesame"
To yet another scene upon the shore
OF that mysterious realm of Never
more,
A deep lane in the cleaning,
In long-vanisned June.
Where two are slowly roaming
Beneath a pale golden moon.
Another key 1 have-a faded glove
But 1T is ilalloWed by the kiss of love;
That little palm it once 50 softly pressed
Crosses its sister now on Elias breast.
This opes an ivfed wicket
In that forgotten land,
Where, in a mrytle thicket,
She leaves it in my hand.
More blest than earthly potentate, 1 sway
This realm of old which is so far away;
Armed with these precious passports l
am free
OF twilit gardens where my lost ones be!
Where faded phantom flowers
That never more shall blow
Enwreatl dim ruined bowers
The Land of Long Ago.

ALIEN LABOR LAWS AT HOME
AND ABROAD.

Very recently the legislature of Penn
sylvania passed a law imposing a tax
on alien laborers. It is about to be
may or may not be sustained Prob
ably the most important thing about
it is the sentiment back of it, which
may be summed up in the phrase,
America for the Americans a proper
enough sentiment when properly ap-
piled. It appears that our Canadian
neighbors are liable to be seized with
the sentiment, Canada for the Cana
dams" and enact, through the parlia-
ment at Ottawa, an alien labor law
of their own as the result of the dis
covery of vastly rich gold fields on the
Klondyke. Commenting on the sub
ject, the San Francisco Chronicle says:
There are no definite signs of inter
national trouble as yet in the new gold
fields, but it will require caution on the
part of the Dominion government to
avoid measures which might cause bit
terness there between the English and
American miners. At present the lat
ter are working peacefully side by side,
as they did in the California gulches in
the early days, and they will continue
TO do so as long as they are let alone
in the use of the privileges and facili-
ties they now have. But if Canada at
tempts to enforce alien labor laws
against Americans or to invalidate
their property claims on the Klondyke
the United States will, of course, close
the Yukon and other routes of ingress
and egress through Alaska to the Brit
ish, with the general result that both
sides viii get beyond control When
the question is one Of picking UP gold
and getting it to a safe place, miners
stop at nothing. If interfered with.
they take matters in their own hands.
as they tried to do in the Tfansvaal.
About the easiest possible way, there
fore, for Canada to lose the new placer
country altogether is to give the fight
ing men now and soon to be encamped
in the far northwest no other alterna-
tive than to make a republic of their
auriferous district. 1t will be remem-
bered that the miners in one of the
AuSIId0dn COlOuleS lOOh ludt course
when nagged too far by government
officials, and were only won back by
a grant of the rights they stood ready
to fight for. There could be no use in
repeating this performance on the
Klondyke. The business world wants
the gold which is there as soon as pos
sible, and so long as no restrictions are
put upon mining it will get the treas
ure speedily. In the long run, quite as
much of the yellow metal will find its
way into English pockets as could be
the case if the way to the gold fields
were barred to all but British subjects"
Why is it not as legitimate and pat
riotic for Canada to enact and enforce
alien labor laws as for states of the
American Union. and the Union itself
for that matter to enact them? If the
principle is good and sound in one

TIE NEW TARIFF.


The country has a new tariff law,
the Dingley-Aidrich bill. and the VIII
son-Gorman law. ceases to be. The
country is but too used to these tariff
changes. and is surely destined to an
other in a few years. AS it condemned
the Mckinley bill, so will it condemn
the Dingley bill.
The new tariff law imposes the high
est rates that have ever been imposed
in this country. Tt is interesting to
note that while the high rates in the
Wilson-Gorman bill were imposed by
the senate, the senate attempted TO
make the rates of the Dingley bill
lower, but was thwarted in its purpose
by the house. The house was thwarted
in its purpose to make the rates of the
Wilson bill low by the senate.
It is a matter of congratulation that
the new tariff law has been placed on
the statute books so soon after the
advent of the new administration, for
it was bound to be, and so long as
the tinkering was going on nothing
could be settled, in fact. all was antic-
ipation and apprehension. Now the
people will know what the tariff will
be for the next four years, and will
govern themselves accordingly. AS
the result of the passage of the tariff
law and the settling of the question,
and not because of the schedules of the
new law, there will most probably be
some improvement in business, scarcely
so much as many expect.
At this time no one can say definitely
what the effect of the new law viii be-
The importations in anticipation of iS
enactment can hardly fail to affect it
as a revenue producer for some time,
and not until the stock of importations
is exhausted and new ones are made
can it prove itself. Its high rates may
be such as to shut off importations; If
they do, there can be no revenue from
that source. The law viii have ample
opportunity TO prove itself before an
other one can possibly take its place
But if it does not produce great and
permanent prosperity it slay be re-
garded as the end of the high protec-
ton bobbin.

AMERICAN GOODS CHEAP TO
FOREIGNERS.

Fifteen per cent tax upon hides. and
full rebate on exported sole leather
This means that we are to furnish
cheaper leather to the English, French
and Germans than our people can buy,
and hence enable them to undersell our
boot and shoe manufacturers in South
and Central American markets. says
the Boston Herald. That is the way
tariff works generally, especially where
there exists the drawback system.
Why should a man who uses foreign
hides, or foreign anything else, be
given a drawback equal to the tariff
on the goods he exports, being made
from imported material, any more than
the man who makes the same class of
goods from domestic material should
have bounty paid him equal to the
tariff on the materials he uses? He
is supposed to get his slice off the
people Of the country, and he gener-
ally does; but doesn't the other fellow
get his slice" off the hated foreigner?
The theory of it all is plain enough
Il is that the American manufacturer
who would enter the worlds markets
must meet the conditions which exist
there, and this he cannot do unless
given free raw material or drawback
on his taxed material when exported
in the form of manufactured goods.
But why should the manufacturer be
favored as TO his markets and not the
consumer? Why make fish of one and
fowl of the other? That is question
that viii be asked again by the peo-
pie as surely as the sun rises in the
east. Foreigners get American goods
cheaper than the Americans them
selves do. There will be a change
some day.

Alabama not only voted with the Repub-

a striking speech, which leaked out to
t'he public in spite of the supposed Sc

the color of the candidates skim he add
ed: Il was a candidate on the Demo-

Thomas Tracey of st. Louis, last
Thursday found a $50 bill which he
had lost 90 years ago. 1t found a hid
ing place between the folds of his nat
uralization papers, which have lain IN
opened in his desk since 1867, Tracy
has no recollection of having placed
the money there, and considers his
windfall a great streak of luck. In re-
lating the circumstance he said it was
like finding money in last winters
clothes-but gave a keener pleasure
because of its long loss. When the $50
bill disappeared Tracey resided in New
York. He hunted high and low for
the money, but was unable to locate
It. A thorough ransacking of the house
failed to disclose its wherea bouts, and
Tracey gave it up for good. Thursday
he happened TO be rummaging through
his desk when ne came across his nat
uralization papers. What was his
amazement when, upon opening the
package, the $50 bill fell out.
