Providing for the Girls In Siam,

Every Siamese girl who reaches a
certain age without marrying is tick
eted anG labeled and placed in a priv
ileged class. under the special care of
the king, who binds himself to find
husband for them all. His method is
delightfully."- simple. A prisoner in any
of the Siamese jails may gain lis
pardon and release by marrying one
of the ineligible class Whether he is
already married or not is not of great
consequence, for in Siam it is not nee
essary to draw the line at one wife.

An Active Propaganda.

Referring to the recent bulletin OF
the Massachusetts, bureau of labor sta
tistics, which shows a marked advance
in the rate of wages for 1898 paid in
Boston and in twelve other cities of
the United States as compared with
the wage rate of 1870, and which draws
a contrast between the American and
British standard of living, the Des
Moines Register remarks:
knowing all of these things, it is
strange how an American laborer can
be induced to vote for free trade"
And yet the entire fraternity of free
trade editors and writer's were never
more insistent than now upon what
they characterize as the evils of pro-
lection and the blessings of unrestrict-
ed competition alike in labor, in the
products of labor, and in the kind of
money that labor shall be paid. If the
American laborer shall refuse to re-
peat the horrible mistake of 1892, it
will not be because the lessons of that
mistake remain fresh in his mind to
the exclusion of the senseleSs sophis-
tries of free-trade advocates. 1t will
not be for lack of strenuous efforts on
the part of these false guides to lead
him into another political pitfall.

DEMOCRATIC RELIGION,

In order to do right, it is necessary
to be right.
The pulpit rail may become a wall
of partition.
Some Christians do more whining
than shining.
Keeping your eye on Christ keeps it
off the world.
Kind words, like fragrant flowers ARE
admired by all.
The wings of riches are poor aids to
heavenly flight.
The dews of grace fall during the
night of sorrow.
More souls are saved through service
than by sermons.
While the saloon exists, your own
son is never safe.
An iceberg in the pulpit cannot kin
die fire in the pews.
Faith gives unlimited backing for
the business of living.
Policy sits on the fence while prin-
ciple fights the battle.
Those who know when to speak,
know when to be silent.

sprung back again to its old unrivaled
prosperity. There has been no lack Of
money in the country ever since Amer
lean factories have been reopened and
American workmen have been again
employed at good wages. There have
been no bank failures because of an
"unelastic currency" since American
products have supplied the Amer
lean market and have gone out
to the markets of the world, thus roll
ing up a big balance of trade in our
favor Surely it has been proved to
the satisfaction of all in the country
that a change in our financial system
was not a necessary preliminary to the
return of prosperity.
Whether or not any change in our
financial system is desirable, or, if
any, what change is desirable. we do
not attempt to say; but we do hold
that it has been proved beyond the
shadow of a doubt that while pros
perity is possible without any change
in our financial system, prosperity is
impossible without protective tariff.

ACHE vement of Protection.

A prominent manufacturer in a re-
cent speech said: The United States
is no longer in the worlds market-the
whole world is now our salesroom. a"
Every one who has even glanced at
the figures OF our foreign trade for 1898
and for the first month of 1899, and who
has noticed, as every one must have
noticed. the comparative extent of our
import and our export trade. must feel
the truth of this remark. And recog-
nizing its truth, they must surely adj
nit, if not blinded by prejudice, that
the protective tariff policy has been
justified by its fruits. The remark
quoted above puts in a nutshell the
achievements of protection. Through
it we have secured to the American
producer the American market, the
best market in the world; we have
given employment to American labor;
we have developed our home indus
tries and have cheapened the cost of
production until now We can, in a large
and constantly growing number of
cases, undersell all competitors and
are in fair way to capture the mar
kets of the world.

Tariff Issue in 1900?
During the last presidential cam

made by many to make the currency
question the test issue of the cam
paign, We pointed out, without enter
ing into the mefits of the currency
question in any way, that the real is
sue was still the old question of pro-
lection or free trade, and We drew at
tention to the fact that under the Nc
Kinley law and under the protective
tariff law in force previous to the en-
actment of that law, our financial pol
icy had been the same as that which
then existed in conjunction with the
free-trade WilsonGorman law, yet
that the country had enjoyed immeas-
11rable prosperity. The present admin

untouched, but it has repealed the
