1t will be remembered that. at the Presl-
dental election In November. 1892. Benjamin
Harrison. the candidate OF the Republican
party. was defeated by Grover Cleveland, who
had been nominated by the Democracy on q
platform the principal feature OF which was a
tariff for revenue only. Mr.. Harrison accepted
the result as q demonstration that the people
desired a new fiscal policy. In his fourth an
nual message he said: We must assume that
tho present tariff. constructed uron the lines
Of protection. Is to be repealed. and that there
is to be substituted for It n tariff law con-
structed solely with reference to revenue that
no duty is to be higher merely because the in
crease will keep open an American mill or keep
up the wages of m American workman.
but that in every case such a rate
OF duty Is to be imposed as will bring
to the Treasury OF the United States
the largest returns of revenue. The conten-
ton has not been between schedules. but be-
tween principles. and 1t would be offensive to
suggest that the pre- vailing party will not carry
into Legislation the principles advocated by II
and the pledges given to the people" We
scarcely need remind the reader that. as a
matter OF fact. tho Wilson Tariff bill. which
was carried though the House of Representa-
tives In Mr.. Cleveland's second term. was so

we have just quoted Mr.. Harrison. although
defeated. did not hesitate to reaf1rm his W
faith in a protective policy. Il believe" he
said. that the protective system. which has
now. for something more than thirty years.

With one exception. to which we shall pres
entity refer. the messages and papers peuned
by Grover Cleveland during his second term
are not OF much historical value. They are Of
negative rather than positive significance.
They are notable chiefly for the omission to
carry out a patriotic act recommended by his
predecessor. and to adhere to the fscal pro-
gramme advocated by himself during the can
yass preceding his second election TO the Pres
idency. In his inaugural address he distinctly
regfirmed that programme In the following

quick glances from side to side at
the houses that lined the street.

would be led to think that oil was
worth it's weight in gold. Four
out of every five houses are black
IN the face. What a cheerful ap-
pearance the streets would pre-
ST Mt it every body lived more in
their front rooms. Here is our
house, too, dark and gloomy in
front and only blur of a light at
the side windows. l've been
thinking of this for some time"
She entered the front door and
walked the length of the dark
hall that opened into the sitting
room.
''Mrs. Moore is better,' she
said, IN answer to the general
look of inquiry. 1.-THE custard l
made for her was the only thing
she had relished today"
Coming in from the delicious
air, the room seemed hot and
stuffy. The family was crowded
about the one lamp on the table.
Her husband was reading; Stella,
a girl of twelve, bent over her
grammar with a look of despera-
ton IN her face; Frank, almost a
man, was craning his neck
towards the light, engrossed
with his beloved stud -the die
tionary. He was a type-setter
in his fathers office, and in one
pocket he carried a book on
punctuation, In the other a die
tionary. '"The Dic," he was
wont to say, "will tell you almost
everything. 1t gives you the
word you want. the synonyms,
and all the trimmings of t-l-o-n,
ton, ly, ly." A small boy and
girl were playing dominoes, car
rylng on the game in whispers
and pantomime, while Robert,
aged four, was drawing slate
full of big engines with the
screechiest of slate pencils. Mrs.
Davis seated herself with her
mending basket, taking mental
notes meanwhile. Frequently
her husband read a bit of news
aloud to her, which drew a sigh
of despair from Stella and an i'm
patient change Of posture from
Frank.
ooh, dearp' thought Stella,
"Pll have to get a hammer and
pound this old grammar lesson
into my head. Common school
grammar, indeed! with it's rules
and five hundred or so exceptions.
My head throbs so l can t remem-
Der thing.!" Presently she got
up and put on her wraps.
"Mother, Pm going over to
study with Myrtle. If she asks
me, may l stay all night?"
Mrs. Davis reluctantly gave
her consent. She knew Stella
preferred sleeping at home, but
she felt that it would be quite I'M
possible for herself to concen-
trate her own mind on any study
under existing circumstances
Myrtle had small stove up
stairs fh her room, where the
girls could study undisturbed.
Roberts pencil agonized around
smokestacks and wheels as if IN
excrutiating pain. Suppressed
giggles and frequent bursts of
excitement came from the domi-
no players. Frank, after shifting
his position several times, quietly
closed his book, put it into his
pocket, and left the room. His
mother, with senses alert, heard
the back door close, then the
gate shut, and she knew he had
gone up town.

81 don't 20 into Saloons" said
Frank, pausing and looking at
the door.
"Pooh! Neither do l, as a
rule. We won't touch any of
their snaky stuff, but it is light
and warm in there, with a read
ing room at the back, and maya
zines to look at for nothing"
Sam opened the door and
Frank followed. Although feel
ing much out of place, the two
boys sat down, and while Sam
looked over the literature on the
table, Frank got out his we'll
thumbed dictionary and said he
would e'hush another covey of
synonyms" He thought of the
crowd around the table at home,
and settled back comfortably in
his chair.
When the younger children
were abed, Mrs. Davis had talk
with her husband.
"Who's coming?" was the ques-
ton the following evening, when
the parlor door was thrown open,
revealing a glowing fire.
"The junior Davises are COM
ing to study" said the mother,
laughing.
els it really for US? Oh, how
lovely! I'll clean the lamp and
keep the room as neat as wax"
exclaimed Stella. =
"And l will make that wood
pile think Dewey has arrived with
all his guns primed," said Frank,
waving his books above his head.
AS he drew up chair he thought
in self-disgust:
"Think of me sitting in that
saloon as uncOncerned as any old
bum! Because they saw me
there I've had to snub half doz-
en- rowdies today who tried, to be
chummy with me.'
The experiment worked like a
charm. However trying the
daily task, the knowledge that a
cozy evening awaited them acted
like a tonic to tired nerves. A
week later Frank looked up from
his book and said:
"Sam wonders why some be-
nevolent gentleman doesn't fit up
a place where boys can spend
their evenings harmlessly, but
I've been thinking that benevo-
lence, like charity, begins at
home. Instead of saddling it all
on to one man, it could be cut up
in pieces, say the size of an yeast
cake, and piece dropped Into
every home, where it would fer
ment and expand until home
scenes the brightest spot on
earth. This afternoon when
was Singing type, this pretty
room rose up before me, so to
speak, and l got so hungry for
supper that 1 felt like eating up
all the p's, upper and lower case,
and drinking up the It's, dltto.''
Stella laughed, then said, 81
used to envy Myrtle, but don't
any more. l haven't failed in a
single recitation since we have
had this room to study in. It's
a kind OF anchor to my memory"
Mrs. Davis overheard this con-
versation, and thought to her
self:
"Some talk big about benefit
ing the world, while the little
homework, over which we pre-
side grows comfortless and cheer
less. Once out of it's protecting
walls they are in an unknown
where the Objectionable
is met on every hand. I'll intro

with their horses. The heat and dust
had been very trying and all were

mining camps are located. So forward
they toiled. through the fine borax

sank TO the hubs. At IL o'clock in the
forenoon their horses were unable TO
