but there is another, and more serious
desecration countenanced year after
year, namely: the use of the flag as a
means Of extortion, and the everlast-
ing activity of the lobby which works
in the interests of the only concern in
America which prints bunting.
To divest Of a sacred character, or
Office, by making prominent the COM
mercial side of the flag to divert from
a sacred purpose, by using it as
means of extortion and greed; to vio-
late the sanctity Of, by forcing it's
purchase by law, that it may float
from every school house in the land,
emblematic of the special privileges
given the industry which created it;
to put to an unworthy use, by associ-
ating it with greed for gain, instead
of loyalty and patriotism to profane,
by making it the means of enriching
favored institution, which, by virtue
of a prohibitive tariff, avoids foreign,
and throttles domestic, competition.
When the flag no longer flutters for
greed, rapacity and special privileges
for the favored ones when a whining
lobby no longer pleads for laws to
boom the output of an unreasonably
protected industry; then we may turn
our attention to the hams and bacon,
beer and suspenders, liniments and
nostrums, Of which complaint is

Before securing to ourselves Porto

might term a talking interest" in
Cuba, negotiations were commenced
with Denmark for the purchase of
these barren and commercially worth

tions for the navy; but now that the

less, but burdensome? r.'
The situation is reversal of the
predicament of the man whose new
trousers were too long; which fact
was noted by his sister, his wife, his
mother, and his grandmother; so each
good lady found time that evening to
slyly cut off a few inches and turn up
the hem, the result being that when
the object of their solicitude arose the

1.-THE main products of the world
are produced in too many different
countries, under too many different in

ing grades Of civilization, for any abso-
lutte combination into a single hand.
A trust may, indeed, easily come to
dominate a single market. The
remedy for any oppressive raising of
prices, is, then, to abolish the customs
tariff, and to call in the foreign pro-
ducer.'
But the present republican protec-

called in a Daniel to interpret the

with the humbug of reciprocity.
which is an acceptance of the prin-
ciple, but in practice, contradiction
of free trade.
Upwards of a million free trade or
tariff reform voters, mostly of demo-
cratic, but many of republican tend
encies, have of late years favored the
republican party only because they
feared the socialistic assaults of the
democratic party upon legitimate
property interests and business organ
izations. AS the panic recedes in the
distance these independents are get

will be ready to cooperate with the
radicals rather than see great combi-

bers of voters along conservative po-
litical lines. These countless con-

WOMEN ARE SUPREME
IN THIS WELSH TOWN
Men There Have Resigned All Their
Rights and Privileges.

Away in a SeQueStered little nook
on the Pembrokeshire coast of Wales
there is a little village managed entire
ly by women. In Langun-for such is
the hamlets name-Woman reigns SUI
preme. She is the dominating force of
the mart of trade, the household f1nan-
cier, the family accountant, and, in
fact, fills all the positions which in any
other community, whether civilized or
not, are by established precedent vot-
ed to man.
Langum has race apart from the
world in it's laws, in it's exclusion of
the stranger and its utter disregard
of the vast area of world and things
lying beyond it's borders. It's quiet life
is dominated by two all-powerful fac
tions-womankind and oysters. There
are men in Langum, but they exert lit
tie or no influence upon the affairs of
the quiet little Welsh village.
The Langum man neither is nor pre-
tends to be. He recognizes the right
of womankind to own and rule, and is
perfectly satisfied to be described as
Annie Jones' man or Mary Williams
man.
He neither requires nor appreciates
compassion. Sitting of an evening at
his cottage door with his faithful
brood playing around him. his wife and
daughter busy reckoning the gains of
the days work, he is vexe by no men
tai anxieties or perplexities; Invested
of all responsibilities of life, he is as
pleased as the oyster for which his ma
tive place is famed.-Exchange
