TOM WATSON WINS.

stung to the quick by his keen and truthful ed-
torials and magazine articles; they used Protest
ant" TOOLS or fools, usual, to bring charge
against him, which they hoped would put him in
felOns cell and deprive him of his personal lib
erty; but the instruments Of torture and punish
ment OF heretlcs" are not readily found in
America, as when the Spanish Inqusition in
it's glory
We may assume however that these hell-bent
scoundrels will not relax their efforts to silence
Tom Watson; and we should redouble
vigilance, if possible. to protect this warrior, and
the principles for which he stands and suffers.
The sting in the above is, its truth.
The Romanists were able to use Protestant
tools in their determined efforts to brand me
as felon, for having told the truth about
the priests and their speak-easy confessional
At the early dawn of life, when mere
shaver, [ was immersed by Baptist
preacher, taken into the membership of
Baptist church where my membership has
ever since remained.
For 81 years, / have been a contributor in
money to the support of that church and to
other Baptist institutions, not to mention
what [ have donated to other Protestant
causes.
But when Anthony Matre, of ST.. Louis,
Secretary of the American Federation of the
Pope's Treason Societies, began to take his
measures to ''put Watson out of business" he
found his most useful allies among the Pro
teStants.
And when at length the Indictment which
accused me of crime in that [ had published,
en- Latin, the lewd, lascivious and obscene
questions which priests employ, in secret, to
pane the acay for their seduction of eoomoen,
1t was Baptist preacher who cast the decid-
ing vote against me, and enabled the District
Attorney to obtain "True bill"

bachelor priests DEBAUCH WOMEN
UNDER TIE CLOAK OF RELIGION, as
the duty of every honest american WHO
KNOWS THE SECRET.
To keep the hideous secret concealed, is to
become, morally, q parity to the seduction.
TO give aid to the seducers, In their efforts
to degrade and ruin the man who exposed
than, is to become an accessory to the foulest
crime against pure womanhood.
Yet, this Baptist preacher was fooled into
believing that he was doing his sworn duty,
q0hen he did all IN his poo0er to send life
long Baptist to the pendteratiary, because the
Pope's seducers Of women had determined
upon Watsons destruction.
If there is any one sect on Gods earth that
ought to hate popery and all it's works, that
sect is the Baptists.
No other sect has been more relentlessly
prosecuted by the Popes.
At the stake, Baptists have been burned to
ashes-by popery.
On the rack, Baptists have been torn limb
from limb-by popery.
In the dungeons, Baptists have been left
to starve and to become the food of rats-by
popery.
In the blaze of their dwellings, Baptists
families have been consigned to fiery death
by popery.
With my mothers milk, drew into my
system the undying hatred of popery,

Floating Farms of China.

Like the wood merchants Of north
ern Russia, who carry their wood on
great RATS to Mini Novgorod, Kazan
and Astrakhan, the farmers of the
upper and central regions along the
Yang-ste-Kiang construct RATS COW
ering as much as two acres of sur
face, and on the RATS they establish
farms where produce grows. On these
great floating farms are habitations
for the men and stables for the ami
mails, pig-pens, feed-barns and store
houses well stocked with provisions.
The voyage to market Is often 1000
miles, and to employ their time on
the slow journey the jewellers on the
RATS make baskets and many objects
of household use. Arrived at their
destination, they sell their produce,
take apart and sell the RATS, and re-
turn to their homes by the ways used
by ordinary travellers. - Harper

THE STOCK EXCHANGE.

kkTTHE Stock Exchange from

- with the imprint of Double

announcement that it is not an apol-
ogy for Wall Streets great institu-
ton, yet it's very character seems to
indicate that its author, William G.
Van Antwerp, was inspired to write
the book with a view of pleading the
cause of the exchange with those who
would eliminate it altogether as u
medium of trade, or so reform and
restrict it as to take away altogether
its distinctive character.
This is the authors statement:
"In the many quotations from the
writings of the worlds foremost econ
omists, and in the various legal
ana historical precedents cited, per-
haps it is not too much to hope that
the book possesses some slight value
as a contribution to the vexed and
vexing discussion of the stock eX-
change, and that it may serve in
some degree both to dull the sharp
edge of uniformed criticism and
to strengthen the hands and hearts
of loyal friends of greatly misun-
derstood institution"

When fond recollections present

And never a journey but what 1 did

In making a living as grown up
