ALWAYS FOR RETIREMENT.
Economic Interests of the Country
safe in Republican Hands.

SAFE In Republican Hands.
Ever since the day the Republican
party became the ruling power in poll
tics in America it has stood for revis-
ion of the Tariff when required and
betterment of the condition of the la
boring classes. 1t has likewise stood
for advanced ideas and supported add
vanced principles that have brought to
the nation at large the progress and
prosperity that have added to the
wealth and contributed TO the happi-
ness of all classes.
The platform adopted at Chicago and
the candidates for President and Vice
president will give a united pledge to
make such revision of the Tariff dur
ing the next four years as is demanded
by the business interests of the United
States to insure continued prosperity.
But the howlers for "Free-Trade"
might as well be given to understand
right now that the Republican party
Will not grant an "open door" for gen
eral Tariff revision or the indiscrimin-
ate removal of duties from foreign
made goods that are brought into COM
petition with American-made products.
No good can come from constant
tinkering with the Tariff. The Demo
cratic party has learned this to its sor-
row. If a revision of the Tariff is
necessary the country at large will
prefer to entrust the work to q Repub-
lican Congress rather than to a Demo
cratic law-making body. The manu-
facturers and the laboring classes of
the country have not yet forgotten the
disastrous results that followed Tariff
.tinkering during Grover Cleveland's ad-
minis IRA ton.
William III. Taft and other Republi-
can leaders have pledged themselves to
make such revision Of the Tariff as is
demanded by the business interests of
the country at large. But they have
not and neither will they pledge the
Republican party to make sweeping
changes in the Tariff lists. The coun-
try does not demand it, On the con-
trary, conditions are, generally speak
ing, satisfactory TO the manufacturer
and the laboring classes, so far as the
Tariff is concerned, and there is no de-
niand save among politicians who are
eager to ride into office on such an is
sue, for radical changes.
If changes are required I'm the Tariff
friends of American business interests
will bring about improved conditions
through wise aud wholesome legislation
by Republican Congress that will be
elected next November. The cardinal
principle of Protection to American in
dustries and American labor will not
be slaughtered by the hands of its
friends, and its enemies-Bryanism and
the Democratic party-will not be
strong enough to infllct any damage

4 Touching Incident.

A touching incident of the civil war
was related by one of group of old
soldiers who were recently talking over
old times, says the Washington Post
You will remember" said he, that
at one time during the war there was
little cavalry fight between Charles
town. now in West Virginia, and Ber
ryville, and for quite while there
were a series of skirmishes taking place
nearly every day. The women in
that neighborhood did everything they
possibly could in the nature of sue
corning the unfortunate soldiers who
were wounded many of them right in
front OF their homes. and their devo
ton was absolutely angelic in its char.
acter. They interested themselves in
getting the names Of those who fell in
the fights; did everything they possibly
could for them as they lay wounded in
their homes, and obtained the names
of the men who had fallen, and when
the wounded died sent word TO their
friends. and saw to it that the de
received Christian burial.

shot. and, as it proved. mortally wound

He lived just long enough to tell his
name and died on the porch with his
head In the lap of one Of the good
women. They had him buried in the
little graveyard at Charlestown in the
family lot of one of the women.
1T was twenty-five years after this
that the lady in whose lot the lad was

spent a good deal of her time attending
to her, and they became great friends
lone day the Abingdon lady related
while they were talking about the war
that she had son who was killed in
a fight somewhere In the valley of yir
ginia. and that she had never heard
anything of his body nor OF the details
concerning his death.
This freshencd the mind Of the 9TH
err woman, who went back to her home
as soon as she recovered from her in
juries and procured the address that
was still in her possession. She wrote
back to her good friend at Abingdon
and found that the boy who died with
his head in her lap was the son of
the good woman who had been caring
for her when she was i'll at Abingdon.
The mother. fully satisfied that the
dead soldier was her son, went to
Charlestown, got his dead body that
had been buried for many years. and
took it back to her home, where the
remains were reinterred In the family
lot at Abingdon"

The Incon.istent pryan.

There is criticism of Bryan for his
inconsistency. Emerson stigmatized a
foolish consistency as the hobgoblin Of
little minds If consistency is a marx
Of greatness, surely Bryan is great.
Here is the record of some Of Bryan's
inconsistencies as compiled by the New
York Globe:
Bryan has considered any man clean
and any money clean that was obedient
to him he has attacked as unclean any
man or money that was in his way. He
denounced Roger c Sullivan Of Illinois
as train robber. as political corrup-
ZIONIST and tool of selfish financial in
terests. aId then went into partnership
with Sulliran when the latter agreed to
give him the Illinois delegation. Bryan
denounced Croker and Tammany poll
tics, and then rode around the streets
of New York in carriage with Croker
shouting Great is Tamn1any and Croker
Is its prophet Bryan denounced
Thomas f. Ryan, yet Bryan's brother
in-law and his national committeeman
received Ryan money to be used to
carry Nebraska that Bryan might have
chance to come to the Senate. Pre-
tending to be an opponent of the trusts,
he has VIGOROUSLY been Il pensioler on
the bounty of Wetmore, the tobacco
magnate of St Louis. Bryan has sup
ported the cause of free trade and abon-
doned it; supported free silver and
abandoned it; supported Imperialism
and abandoned it-and In each case his
support or abandonment has been con-
nected with what he thought was his
selfish political interest"
When Bryan was building his elegant
house at Lincoln he gladly accepted a
present of stained glass windows from
Col. Guffey of Pennsylvania. Col. Cuff
fey was twice for Bryan as the Demo-
cratic candidate for the Presidency. He
is not for Bryan now because he be-
lieves a third Bryan candidacy would
invite another Democratic defeat Cuff
fey Is now in the bad books of Bryan,
who calls him vicious and denounces
him as q corporation man; but he is
no more corporation man than when
he supported Bryan for the Presidency
and when he gave Bryan the present Of
the stained glass windows.
So far as inconsistency can be de-
pended upon as q demonstration of
greatness, Bryan is entitled to praise
as the greatest man the Democratic
party has Observation-Disclosures Even

conditions Of women's work at home.
says the New York Sun. Some extracts
from it which have been published in
dictate extreme misery, especially among
seamstresses These conditions, the re-
port states have grown worse instead
of better in recent years. The factory
laws requiring ventilation, toilet ac-
commodations, safety devices on ma
chinery and shorter hours of labor have
closed a great number of small factories
and workshops. The result is that the
work is now done in garrets and tene-
ment rooms through contractors and
sub-contractors. The competition among
these and the consequent price cutting
has become 50 acute that they can hard
ly make a living themselves and those
whom they employ are cut literally to
starvation wages.
One example quoted is that of an old
woman. a widow of GO, who has sup
ported herself as seamstress for twen-
ty-five years. Sometimes she makes
pillow cases. sometimes she sews the
buckle on garters and suspen1ers. She
is able to earn about a cent and a fifth
an hour and last year made only 139
francs, or $26. This, with $24 from the
Assistance Publique, was all she had
to live on.
!, No doubt this womRn's age was one
cause of her extremely low earnings.
but the case of shirt-waist maker, 40
years old and skilled workwoman, is
given as typical. This woman. whb is
described as Nine. F., WORKS at her
trade seventeen hours a day. She
spends besides two hours on her house
hold duties, sleeping only five hours.
Her net earnings, after she had paid
for thread, needles and the like, is Jos
francs or $101.60 year.
Another woman of the same age.
Nine. T., who sleeps only four hours
and gives seventeen of her working
ones to sewing on shirt waists, petit
coats and aprons, earned in the twelve
months for which her record was taken
SS7.
The case Of young woman. Nine. l.,
% years old, is also illustrative. She
makes corset covers, which come to
her from a sub-contractor. She has a
sewing machine and is paying for it
at the rate of $40 a month. She works
fourteen and a half hours a day and
earns SO francs or Sc month. Until
her machine is paid for she has to be
content with two meals day and goes
to bed at midnight supperless- Another
young woman, who makes underwear
for the dry goods stores, earned S61.2O
in a year. Still another, 81 years old,
says that in twelve years she has never
been able to make more than 500 a
year by seventeen hours work day.
In the 700 pages Of the government
report there are said to be at least
10000 cases equally distressing. No
remedy for the evil is suggested.

The recipe for this delicate dessert
has been handed down in my family
for many generations: Into each indi-
vidual custard cup put the yolk of one
egg, add one heaping teaspoonful Of
sugar, two gratings of nutmeg and five
tablespoonfuls of sweet milk. Incorpo-
rate thoroughly and set the cups in a
pan Of hot water. Bake in a moderate
over until firm When cool, cover with
meringue, using the whites Of the
eggs for this purpose. and allow one
tablespoonful of powdered sugar to the
white Of each egg. Through the very
tiptop Of each snowy mound drop
teaspoonful of orange marmalade.-De-
