may be gathered from few detached
verses which We quote. The conclrd-
ing stanza Of Alice" reads:
20 true are the vows Of maid.
And strong are the vows of a man:
But pledges were better ne'er made,
If not framed to the Christian plan"
And here are lines from "Hortense":
Il send thee love- the hawthorne.
With a spray of wild moss-rose:.
They bear within their fragrant
bourne
The sweetest hope that blows"
"Hortensel lay them on thy breast; &;
Caress them with thy hand;
Treat not my love as Jest;
1t seemeth "A circling band.
Thy fair young bud OF love
Opening upon the spray,
Doth raise my hope above
Pleasures without allay.
Mr.. shockley does not shun the
homely things Of life. but like Burns
and Riley finds in them play for his
fancy as witness this stanza from
THE Ploughman":
HE feeds his team six ears OF corn.
And lifts an extra fork;
Then leads them out beneath the thorn

missing industry, would stand silently

Russia is so jealous of her fey cot

of the domination of this Government

craftsmanship toward the expansion
of the American cotton market There
are in China, South America, and
Oceania nearly seven hundred mil
lions of people who are anxiously
awaiting an opportunity to consume
our great surplus, and were our
statesmen liberal enough to nego-
tiate reciprocity treaties, removing
all tariff distractions between these
peoples and our cotton fields, never
again would we hear of over-produc-
ton and, too, this condition could
be greatly improved if our states
men were to go one step further and
grant every American citizen desiring
to send his products to these far
away people the right to hoist the
American flag over his ship pur-
chased in any quarter of the globe
for this purpose How could such a
concessions at this, fraught with so
much good to the Southern people, in
jure any legitimate American indus
try?
81 dare Say there is not a member
of this House who does not know
that any policy that closes any mar
ket to the cotton grower impairs his
well-beiing and progress. Unlike any
other American industry, two-thirds
of the cotton, if so sold at all must
be to foreigners, and. hence, above all
things, he needs an, unfettered mar

thrive is dependent on his privilege to

only would the cry of over-production
have been hushed, but increasing
prosperity would have blessed all
other legitimate industries.
I'VE are annually losing millions of
profit from our cotton crops, because
more of it is not manufactured at
home. Our factories are producing
S32,ooo,ooo worth more than
is consumed by the American market,
and it is absolutely impossible for
them to enter into competition in the
foreign markets with the manufac-
turers of Germany, England and 9TH
ers, since the later have behind them
the powerful influence of their home
governments, and have had fifty
years experience in exploring and in
Producing their products into every
quarter of the globe.
'Not only are the manufacturers of
these countries aided by the trade
treaties and every agent or consul
sent out at public expense but they
have ships, flying their national flags
in which to transfer their products.
Has this Government ever sent
a commercial agent to China to show
the advantages of American-made cot
ton goods ?Has it ever authorized an
American manufacturer to go out on
the high seas and buy a Workmanship
and hoist the Stars and Stripes over
it in order that he might cary his pro-
ducts to the people of other countries |
Nay, not so, but, on the other hand, |
it has not only not aided him in the |
introduction of his products, but it |
says to him that if he purchases ship
not made by the shipbuilders trust it
cannot leave our shores under the
protection of the American flag. AS
a result of this policy we find that
the manufacturing of cotton goods in
America has not increased as rapidly |
as many other of our great staple
products"

A very interesting and forceful
speech on the cotton situation in the
South was delivered this afternoon
in the House by Representative Adam
Byrd, of Mississippi He was severe
in his arraignment of the Republican
Party for its neglect of the cotton
industry, and argued that sufficient
markets would be afforded for the
consumption of the surplus Ameri-
can cotton, giving the grower just
price for his staple, if the Admins
tration would negotiate treaties of
reciprocity with foreign Govern
ments. Mr.. Byrd said in part;

When they reached the pasture

were met by the bull, and the
animal refused to let them pass.
Allen was within 80 yards of the

on a horse.
When the bull got within &c
