An HlstorICal Fact.

The historical fact stands all the time
that during the periods Of the highest
tariff this country has prospered most,
and under even approaches to free
trade have come periods OF unusual
depression. This is not merely state
ment for effect, but is borne out by his
tory. This reminds us OF what Lin
coin said about the tariff: 81 do not
know much about tariff, but it strikes
me that II you buy ton OF steel OF
England you get your steel; hut II YOU
buy 1t OF an American, you get your
steel and keep your money."-Dallas

ABOUT MARRIAGE.

Now, if matrimony is to become
more and more difficult, and such
seems to be the case, who will
suffer the more by such a state of
things2 1t must be the woman.
For, try to make her into a man,
as some may, it is impossible; she
is his equal, but she is not man.
The grapevine and oak are equal,
but not the same. Whoever builds
his ship with the grapevine will
come to grief; whoever makes wine
with the acorn will have bitter
mouth, Woman needs the strength
and courage of man, and he needs
her chcertulness, her sympathy,
her consolation. If man does not
marry her, he will use her and
trample upon her; he does it now
in Paris, and in London, and in
New York, She will be his mis-
tress, if she is not his wife. And
then, when she is sick or ill-tem-
pered, or stupid, he will throw
her away. If she is his wife, the
mother of his children, the part
ner OF his successes, and the con-
soler of his failures, and then only
as such, will he cherish, defend
and sustain her,
Time was when woman was de-
scribed as the helpmeet OF man,
Was it only a phrase, and mean
ingless2 Possibly; but then, words
in the Bible mostly did mean
something The time, too, was,
and yet is in some quarters of the
world, when a woman was a help
meet, and accepted and worked up
to her position as such. She did
not demand everything and do
nothing. Why is marriage easy
and universal in such a country as
lapan1 Lie there, is simple; two
or three small rooms, a few dishes,
mat upon which to sleep, one
dress, little rice and some fruit
these suffice for all, rich and
poor alike, in great city like
Yeddo, which has o civilization as
perfect and as old as ours. And
il is not life Of stupidity or bar
barism; all can read and write;
manners are good; books and
pictures are plenty; thealers
abound; professions and festival
days enliven life. 1t is easy to
see, therefore, why marriage is not
q fearful thing in that far land;
and by contrast, it is easy to un-
derstsnd why few have the courage
to dare it here
