Tune will play his tricks on Love. Cupid, of his power reminded, Showed old Time what he could do; And, that though his eyes were blinded, Yet his heart would guide him true.

I had been JilS successful, and my camp of instruction contained fair m a - terial. It was a few ifiiies distant on Jersey soil. One afternoon, while I wa 3 resting in my quarters after the latigues of a hot day, an orderly brought me the un¬ pleasant tidings that my camp was in an uproar. The meu refused to obey or¬ ders, and open violence impended. The pay was in arrears through some red tape delay. The men were poor and their families were suffering. I dressed myself carefully in full un¬ iform, hastened over the ferry and soon reached the high board fence which eu- circled the encampment. From within came a confused rumble like the portend of a storm. I approached the wicket. It was locked. I peered through the lat¬ tice. There was the sentry, sure enough; but with what a difference! llis musket leaned against a post. He sullenly slouched up and down with hands in pockets, in uo wise heeding ray presence. I would like to have shot that man, but 1 was bound aud braced with self-control. “Attention!” I commanded sharply. The man stared, then straightened, seized his musket, presented, aud stood as a soldier. “Open that gate!” lie obeyed at once, and I passed through and marched quickly forward. All over the field were knots of men, shouting, gesticulating, fiercely ha- ranguing. Here and there were a few officers arguing and pleading in vain. The majority, however, sat dejected within llieir tents. It was a most dis¬ tressing sight for a true soldier. I approached the first group of about 200 frenzied men. A captain was just leaving them, pursued by taunts aud jeers. lie was an insignificant man, with a repulsive face; naturally pom¬ pous iu bearing, but now thoroughly cowed. Yet as he saw tne he assumed a ccitain uneasy bravado. “Captain Johnson, at your service, eir,” he answered, as he saluted. “What does this mean?” Iasked. “They are fiends incarnate. General,” lie exclaimed, as ho glanced over his shoulder. “They will murder us all and ravage tho town. Oh, what shall you do?” “I shall form the men.” “Impossible. Why, that’s just what 1’vc been trying; but—” “Silence, sir.” As 1 reached the mob I noticed one face alone which expressed respect or sympathy. All others bore a look of malevolence. A young soldier, well set up and scrupulously neat, seemed to be attempting to dissuade his comrades from some mad project, lie was a due- looking fellow, with a long, light mus¬ tache aud bright, blue eyes, from which, as I say, I caught a flash of admiration. I drew my sword and stood upright and motionless before the men. “Attention, men! Fall in!” I com- manded. There was a hesitation, a momentary huddling together, and then they ar¬ rayed tueuiseives. “Present arms! Carry arms! Order arms! Parade rest!” I ordered, aud they obeyed. Behind me stood a knot of wondering officers. “How do you dare?” I began. Then arose a growl from the ranks. ‘We want our right. We’ll get them, too. We demand our pay. We won't stand such treatment. Our wives, our children are starring.” “Silence!” I warned them. “Not another word. If you have grievances, if you have complaints, send them through the proper channel and they shall be heard aud allayed, I promise you. Men, I’m ashamed of you. While your comrades are in the field facing privation and danger and death for the glory of that old flag which you have only just sworn to defend, you, for a trifling delay which the throes of our Government should excuse, dare to mur¬ mur and revolt. Out upon such soldiers! Do you know what you risk? Do you appreciate that i have but to step to that telegraph and the regulars will surround you and rake your camp with an enfilad¬ ing tire? Do you long to serve your country at Dry Tortugas? Have a care, or there you shall be sent, weighed with the contempt of all loyal men. Officers, to your posts! There will be a review presently.” “Three cheers for the, General!” shouted the clear voice of the blue¬ eyed recruit as I turned away, aud they were given with a will. So I went through that camp, speak¬ ing as I never had spoken. Inwardly overwrought with excitement, but out¬ wardly the cold, distant personification of discipline. Within two hours I had that brigade formed in a hollow square, and from its centre I renewed my threats and my promises. They were effective. Reason returned to the men, and with it came shame. What had looked like a dangerous outbreak was quelled by moral force. AND PIEDMONT INDUSTRIAL JOURNAL. As I left the parade I met Captaia Johnson. is “By-the-yay, that bright-looking Captain” . I asked, soldier <4 young of yours who seemed to be resisting madness of the men?” The Captaia scowled quite unnecessarily. “That’s Thomas Browne,” he an- swered moodily. “lie doesn’t amount to much.” I am certain you don't, I reflected as I returned to the city. A month passed by. Discipline had done its perfect work. The mob had be¬ come a well-drilled brigade. The meu had received their arrears, and were eager to wipe out disgrace and to achieve renown in action. The order for their advance was expected daily. I sat in my quarters in this city, alone and idle, for my duty had been fulfilled, and I was about to report at Washington. The door opened, and a tall, slender young woman, neatly-dressed, stood before nte. Her face was pallid; her large black eyes shone intensely. “Oh, sir,” she exclaimed, “save my soldier I He said that you might,” and she sank in a chair by my side weeping and moaning and wringing her fragile hands m a manner most pitiable to be¬ hold. “But, my dear madam,” I expostula¬ ted sternly, “this won’t do at all. If you wish my aid you must be calm and sen¬ sible. Tell me who you are, who your soldier is, and what you want.” My severity succeeded as I intended it should. She was a stout-hearted little thing, and she gulped down her sob3, and in a moment sat upright aud tran¬ quil. “I beg your pardon,” she said gently, and I felt like a brute. “My name is Mary Graeme, and—and I’m engaged to Thomas Browne. He’s my soldier, you know; and he’s in the camp over in New Jersey.” “Thomas Browne!” Oh! I remem¬ bered. “Yes, my dear, I replied. A fine looking young fellow, with bright, blue eyes, I think.” “Oh, such bonny eyes, so tender, so true! And they speak his nature, be¬ lieve me. I know him so well; we were little children together. He nas been placed under arrest, sir, and is to be tried before the court-martial now. in session.” “For what offense?” “He wa3 a sentry, sir, and was found asleep on his post.” Phew! Here was a pretty mess in¬ deed for the young recruit. “My dear child, I responded gravely, this is a most serious matter. Asleep ou his poit of duty in the face of the en¬ emy! Why, it may cost him his life! And at the very time, too, when there has been a revolt in the camp and the court feels the necessity of a stern ex¬ ample.” As I spoke the poor child wavered like a rare pale lily in a storm. But she remembered nty warning, though her eyes streamed and her hands strained in their grasp. “Oh, sir, but he isu’t guilty, the poor boy. Think how tired he was. Up the whole night; ordered on duty again the moment he was relieved. It w r as in- human, No wonder lie dozed without knowing it.” “But—” “Oh, sir, I know what you would say: It couldn’t be. But it was. The Orderly Sergeant has always hated him. Ou the day before ho had ordered Tom— excuse me, sir, Thomas—when he was off duty to clean the equipments of an¬ other soldier, which Thomas refused to do.” “He was perfectly right there.” “So Thomas says. Besides he was expecting to see me. But that night when he came off his post, oh, so tired, the Sergeant ordered him right on again to take the place of the soldier whose arms he wouldn’t clean.” “If this is so, no court will punish him for falling asleep.” “I’m so delighted'. That’s what Thom¬ as said he knew you would say. But he didn’t mean to—oh, no, indeed. He’s so ashamed; whsn he has been so anxious 1 to distinguish himself for me.” And here a blush deepened through poor Mary’s cheeks. “He shall have the chance, never fear. But why didn't you go to his Captain? Does be know these facts?” Again Mary blushed and far Ie?3 tran¬ siently. Her fingers picked her dress uneasily. ‘‘Captain Johnson,” she faltered. “He doesn’t like Tom; he—he—likes me.” “Oh ho.” Here was a little drama. I recalled the Captain’s repulsive face aud sullen ways, and I recognized the villain’s part. “Besides,” she continued, “the Or¬ derly is his biother-in-law.” “And he tells a far different story, I suspect.” “Indeed, ye3- here is no hope for Thomas from either of them.” “Well, my dear, save your tears and keep a stout heart. I like your soldier, and I like you. I believe the story and you shall have ray aid. But be cautious and secret. The court is now in session, you say ?” “Yss, sir; all this week. But Thom¬ as's case was only reached this afternoon just before adjournment.” “Then I must act at once. Good-bye now; you may rely on me.” And with a God bless you, whi;h it seems as if I could feel even now, the girl withdrew. Yet with a sudden inspiration I called atter her, “what is the name of the sol¬ dier whose place Thomas took?” “Joseph Brant.” Here surely was a difficult situation. The Sergeant hostile, the Captain vin- dictive, what hope gleamed for Mary's soldier? Yet I followed the inspiration. The proof, if I only could get the proof! It existed, unless cunning had destroyed it. Again I arrayed myself in full fig. Again I Hastened over the ferry to tho camp. I sought the Sergeant’s tent and I-found hitn within and alone. “Too stupid to be provident,” was pay mental glance. “Sergeant, your detail book, at once" I commanded. The man and gaped, and then handed it to without a word. TOCCOA. GEORGIA, SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 10, 1892. I went to a retired spot. I turned the pages with trembling fingers. Ah, fate had favored me. There was the record for the night in question, and among the reliefs I didn’t find the name of Thomas Browne, but I did find that of Joseph Brant. Then I visited the Judge Advocate, a friend of mine, a fine fellow, now a Supreme Court Judge of this State. “What sort of a man is Captaia John¬ son?” I a3ked. My friend shrugged his broad, shoul¬ ders. “Hum!” he replied. “With all there is back of him he ought to get the single star in six months.” “Influence, hey?” “Great. But why do you ask?” “You needn’t go any further, old fel¬ low; your scruples reveal more than they conceal. But to change the subject. I am going to put a hypothetical case to you, and I want you to tell me just liow you would act regarding it.” And I de¬ tailed the facts of Mary’s soldier’s troubles, using, of course, assumed names. The Judge Advocate deliberated. “A difficult and delicate matter,” he said. “The man is innocent, but lie would be condemned. The sentence would be commuted ou review; still his career would be ruined. I think I should do this: I should lay these inside facts con¬ fidentially before the President of tine court. Then, if he approved, at the next session I should announce that the main witness, the Officer of the Day, was ab¬ sent—and he would be, too. And in view of the stress of other business, and of grave doubts of the defendant’s cul¬ pability, I should ask that the case be dismissed.” “You would surely do this?” •“Certainly. It would be the quickest and most prudent way out of a nasty rush.” “Then listen, old fellow.” And I ex- tne plained proof,” my parable I said, in to conclusion, him. “Aud and here's I showed him the Sergeant’s detail book. “The villains I” he exclaimed. “I’ll stick to my word, never fear. It's the wisest course, too. At this present cri¬ sis the friends of that Captaia must not be offended. His time may come. But that Sergeant should be punished in some way.” “Leave that to me. He shall lose his chevrons, I promise you.” “Verv well. I’m off to see the Presi¬ dent.” The next morning came, the court convened. Mary was present, anxious yet hopeful, with her gaze fixed ou the erect, manly form of her soldier, So, too, were the Captaia and the Sergeant in attendance, the former exultant, the latter secretly worried. But I looked in vain for the Officer of the Day. The Judge Advocate was faithful to his rehearsal aud letter-perfect in his part. “I do, therefore, suggest,” he said in conclusion, “that this charge against Private Thomas Browne be dismissed,” “This seems a proper disposition,” said the President. “I think so,” said each officer, from the junior to the senior; and Thomas Browne left the courtroom a free man, with the devoted Mary clinging to his arm. I caught Captaia Johnson as he was sneaking away with a white, scared face. “Captain,” I said, “I learned the truth of this matter, and I am responsible for this ending. You’ve had a lucky escape. Now, maik my words. You will reduce that Orderly Sergeant to the ranks forth¬ with. He won’t appeal to the Colonel, nor will the Colonel question the act.” “I will do so, sir,” he murmured, as he hung his head and went to his quarters. I never saw him again, but after tho war, at Washington, I met Mary, a happy bride, with her soldier, and ou his broad shoulders shone the insignia of a Major.—New York Times. Apples. For those who use their brains the apple is an especially proper article of diet, and for nervous people and those suffering from any weakness of the spine for apples contain more phosphorus than any other known fruit or vegetable, and this phosphorus is admirably adapted for renewing the essential nervous matter of the brain and spinal cord. The acids of the apple are also ot signal use for those persons of sedentary habits whose livers are sluggish in action, these acids serv¬ ing to eliminate from the bony noxious matters which, if retained, render the brain heavy and dull, or fetch eruptions to the surface of the skin, bring on jau- dice or like troubles. When eating meats richly cooked, one should accompany such dishe3 with plenty of apple sauce, as it will neutral¬ ize any excess of chalky matter engen¬ dered by eating too much meat, For sour stomach, too, the apples should be eaten, as its salt and juices are converted into alkaline carbonates, which tend to counteract acidity.—American Farmer. Frightful Skulls. There are in the National Museum at Washington several skulls of the Fiat- head Indians of the Northwest, which are the most extraordinary objects in that line ever seen. These Indians pro¬ duce the peculiar deformity which gives them a name by tying flat boards on the heads of their children, and to such an extent is the pressure carried that the skull just above the eyebrows is the most promiuent aud highest part of the head. The effect must have been fright¬ fully savage, for the skulls more nearly resemble those of apes than of human beings, the whole of the brain being ' compressed into the back portion while th ere is no forehead worth mentioning, and the skull is so broad as to be shocs- ingly out of proportion. Nevertheless, it does not appear, from what travelers say of these people, that their minds are in any way affected by the distortion of their skulls, for in most respects they are said to be equal or superior to other In¬ dians.—Boston Transcript.

CANDIDATE STKVENSON’S ADDRESS At BLOOMINGTON, ILL.—THE WAU TARIFF AND THE FORCE BILL. Vice-Presidential candidate, Adlai E. Stevenson, spoke before a great gather¬ ing of Democrats at Bloomington, Ill. Mr. Stevenson’s speech, which was re¬ ceived with tremendous enthusiasm, in substance was as follows: “The responsibility of determining what line of public policy shall be pur¬ sued, and who shall be selected as Chief Magistrate, is again upon us. Upon the correct determination of these ques¬ tions through the peaceful methods pre¬ scribed by law, will depend the welfare of the people. “It will be my endeavor to suggest some of the reasons why Mr. Cleveland should be elected President and the Democratic Party restored to power. The four years’ administration of Presi¬ dent Cleveland was confessedly an honest administration. Those who pre¬ dicted evil from Mr. Cleveland’s election proved false prophets. The Democratic administration ending March 4,’ 1889, has gone into history as an economical and able administration of the Govern¬ ment. No scandals attached to any of its appointments to office. “At the close of President Cleveland’s Administration the surplus in the Treas¬ ury, exclusive of the gold reserve, was, iu round numbers, eighty-three millions of dollars. “What is the condition that now con¬ fronts us at the end of three and a half years of Republican administration? On the basis of revenues to the Government, as estimated by the Secretary of the Treasury, for the present fiscal year, and of the liabilities of the Government on account of the annual and permanent appropriations for the same period, there will be a deficit of fifty-two millions of dollars. The bankruptcy which now threatens the Treasury is the result, first, of the enactment of the McKinley Tariff law, and, secondly, ot the lavish appro¬ priations of the Fifty-first Congress. THE TARIFF. “The tariff is the all important issue of the campaign. The position of the two leading political parties upon that question cannot be misunderstood. The Republican Party, as illustrated by its recent enactment of the McKinley law, stands for a high protective—in other words, a prohibitory tariff. The Dem¬ ocratic Party, as emphasized by its ut¬ terances and its acts, is the advocate of tariff reform. “The argument advanced by the early advocates of a protective system was the necessity of protecting our “infant in¬ dustries.” Yet Mr. Clay, the author of the famous tariff bill with which his name is inseparably associated, declared sucti protection to be only temporary, and that so soon as such industries were able to stand alone, tariff duties should be reduced. The compromise tariff law of 1833, of which Mr. Clay was the author, provided that at the end of ten years there should begin a rapid reduc¬ tion of duties, until the average rate should not exceed twenty per cent. In view of the fact that protection to the “infant industries” has more than trebled since the passage of the bill of which Mr. Clay was the author, Clay would himself, if living, be now de¬ nounced as a free trader by the protec¬ tionists. “The average tariff tax at the begin¬ ning of the Civil War in 1861-was but niuetesu per cent. To purchase muni¬ tions of war, to arm and equip soldiers and meet all of the expenses incident to the great struggle, required large sums of money. Tariff taxes were largely in¬ creased. Our Government was in the throes of war, struggling for its exist¬ ence, and but little heed was given by the people to the fact that duties undei the new tariff law were not only highly protective to manufacturers but some to the people. But this was all. By subsequent increase by sive Republican Congresses the average rate of duties reached four-seventh cent. This was the average rate of taxes when the McKinley bill became law. “In the early days of the war a system of taxation was devised by Con¬ gress known as the Internal Revenue system, by which enormous sums into the Treasury. With the war closed, a Republican Congress relieved the manufacturers from this taxation, and added to their profits and to the burdens of tho people by increased duties. grant the necessity of repealing these in¬ ternal war taxes when the evidences of war no longer demanded their con- tinuauce. But why did not the Repub¬ lican Congress repeal the war taxes— tariff taxes—which bore so heavily upon the farmer, upon the mechanic, upon the laborer, upon the great mass of people? Why was not the war tax re¬ duced upon the necessaries of life? “Why remove from the manufacturer the tax of less than five per cent, and leave him the power to tax the consumer forty-seven, sixty, eighty per cent, upon hats, upon shoes, upon blankets, upon clothing? “But this is not all. The protected classes growing year by year stronger and more powerful with the protection afforded them, demanded of the Fifty- first Congress yet higher duties. In 1890 their demand was in substance for a prohibitory tariff. The response to tins dem&nu was the passage by a Re¬ publican Congress of the McKinley bill. The avowed object of this bill was to check importation. Its purpose so to ncrease the rate of duties, as in many nstances to exclude absolutely foreign goods from our markets, and thus by cutting off competition, enable the home manufacturer without let or hindrance to fix the price of his wares. In a word, he McKinley law, by its prohibitory atures gave its beneficiaries a prac- al monopoly, and enabled them in •: to levy an additional tax upon the ■uner. to the extent that the duty had been increased, Was this not class legislation of the most odious character? The American people unmistakably set their seal of condemnation upon this bill. Slowly but surely they have be¬ come convinced that ‘protection does not protect” them. “It is worse than idle to speak of its benefits to the American farmer. It is mockery to tell him he is protected against the corn and wheat products of the old world. While he is compelled to sell iu the open markets of the world he should be allowed the poor privilege of buying what his necessities require without paying high tribute to the pro¬ tected classes of his own country. To the mechanic and laborer no less than to tiie farmer, protection has proved a de¬ lusion and a snare- In no instance has it opened up* ^ to the farmer ‘additional market for a pound of meat or a bushel of grain.’ Has it in a single instance given to the mechanic or laborer in¬ creased wages? The present high taritl adds largely to the cost of articles nec¬ essary to the comfort of the wage earner. How has he been benefited? Has it in¬ creased his wages? Has it any manner benefited his condition? “Recent events connected with the most highly protected establishments of this country sadly attest the fact that a high protective tariff affords no protection to those who earn their bread by daily toil. It was never intended to benefit them. If the claim of the protectionist is well founded, why have not wages in¬ creased, as tariffs have increased? Why constant reduction of wages in the most highly protected establishments in the land? “To the toiler the McKinley bill has ‘kept the word of promise to the ear, but broken it to the hope.’ “My fellow-citizens. To you the tariff is the all-importaut question. The question is not how much of your ear n- ings shall be given to the support of the Government, but how much shall under the forms of law be seized by the favored —the “protected” classes. Are vout interests safe in the hands of a party controlled by the protected monopolists of this country? This is the important question for your determination at the polls. The Democratic Party believes that the burdens of taxation should be equally distributed. We oppose all leg¬ islation that enriches the few by taxing the many. “Shall high tariff, con unually increas¬ ing with the demands of the classes, be the settled policy of our Gov¬ ernment, or shall there be relief to people from the burdens of unjust ation? THE FORCE BILL. “Another issue of great moment the pending contest is the Force bill. The magnitude of this issue cannot overstated. It may mean the control the election of Representatives in Con¬ gress by the bayonet. “The Republican Party, by its sets in the Fifty-first Congress, and by its platform, in its late National Conven¬ tion, stands pledged to the passage of the Force bill. That it will pass this bill, when it has the power, no sane man can doubt. To all of the people, all who desire the peace and prosperity of our common country, this question important. To the people of the South¬ ern States it is one of transcendent im¬ portance. Shall they still have and the protection of the law, or the horrors with which they are meuace 1 find their counterpart only in those the darkest hours of the reconstruction period?” The Tin Plate Infant. According to the report of Agent Ira Ayres for the fiscal year ing June 30th last, just published the Treasury Department, the of works in operation been and the by quarters ha^e as follows: Works. Pounds. First quarter..... 5 826 , Second quarter.... 11 3 , Third quarter..... , ....... 20 3 , Fourth quarter............26 8 , 20.0 Total Of these twenty-six works nine duce their own black plates, while teen do the tinning only. The produced 5,197,028 pounds of tin terne plates during the last quarter, and the seventeen produced pounds. Protectionists everywhere are loudly and think this the brightest in¬ fant yet born by the aid of and some are making almost as promises for its future as did and Allison, who prophesied in that it would be born in six months, and that in a year or two it would its growth and be producing ail of tin plate. It is to be expected that Republicans will crow about something during a Presidential campaign, but if there is nothing better lor them to crow over than this tin plate industry in its present condition, the party is indeed lacking for campaign material. Not only is the infant as yet small, but it is feeble. At present are manufacturing only about five cent, of our total consumption, and New York Daily Commercial Rulletiu, which has made an analysis of the lishments making tin plate, comes the conclusion that “as long as remain high such works as do the ning, merely buying the black p ares ready for this process, they may along, but the industry can never firmly established here on this basis. The large manufacturers of sheet iron and steel whose works are well situated, and who are in the best position to the tin plate industry a success, have not yet shown any inclination to take up the new industry. The tin plat* industry can be established only when shall be established on a large scaie, which will make a specialty of tin plates and carry on the production from steel and iron in the form of billets bars. As yet but few such works are iu operation or are projected.” Grant that in a few years we shall be makiLg all of our own tin and terne plates, what then? The industry would probably be more of a curse than a bless- mg to us. Saying nothing about expect¬ ing or hoping to get back the $30,000,- 300 duriug the last three years, or tbs more than $100,000,000 during the last twenty years, which the attempt to es¬ tablish this industry has cost us, this artificially supported industry, like that of the manufacture of rails, of refined sugar, and of hundreds of others, would continue in its old age to take dollars from consumers that it might restore cents to wage earners, If prices of tin should remain about two cents per pound above the foreign prices, as it undoubt¬ edly will, as long as the manufacturers of steel sheets, of galvanized iron and steel and of tin plate maintain their com¬ bine and are protected by a duty of two and two-fifths cents per pound, this in¬ dustry will take §10 from the consumer, not §5 of which will be paid to the wage will earners and not fifty cents of which represent a gain to wage earners over what they could have earned in other industries. By virtue of the duty, which the American Economist says should be retained “forever,” the tin plate trust would continue to rob us of $12,000,000 or $15,000,000 a year that $6,000,000 or $7,000,000 might go as wages to 10,000 or 12,000 'men, who could earn almost as much in a self-supporting in¬ dustry. This is on the supposition that American laborers will get the benefit of wages paid iu this industry. As a mat¬ ter of fact, a large proportion of the workmen in this, as iu most other indus¬ tries brought here by protection, are foreign born—brought here to reduce wages by competing with American workmen. So long as this infant mus# have pio- tection pap to keep it alive here so long will it be a curse to us—yes, and if it should ever become so hardy that it could live without this pap and it should not be weaned by radical fre» traders, it would still curse us as does th$ fifty-year- old and still unweaned imjpstfies of making steel rails and sugar, which take millions from us every year, though we could make as many tons of steel rails and pounds of sugar, and pay just as high wage3, as if there were no duty at all. The Costliest President. The Harrison administration is the costliest the county has ever had. It has cost the people of the country $7 a head, or $35 a family, annually, as against an average annual cost of only $6.12 for Cleveland and $6.43 for the Garfield-Arthur administration, Even when compared with the Garfield- Arthur administration, which was % uo means as economical as it might have been, t'nc cost of Harrison appears in its true light as unprecedented, Here are official figures giving the average annual expenditure, including sinking fund and postal service, and the average ex- penditure per capita Rader two Re¬ publican administration: Per Canifca. Per Year. Garfield-Arthur .....16'. 43 $349,611,000 Harrison....... ...... 7.01 449,453,103 Here is an increase for Harrison over the last preceding Republican adminis¬ tration amounting to fifty-eight $190,- cents per capita per year, or a round 090,000 a year. We give the figures of increase for every head of population because some Republicans endeavor to evade re¬ sponsibility for Harrison’s extravagance by saying that “this is growing country.” The figures per capita show that his expendit" 3s have increased much above the increase in population. He has made an increase of nine per cent. over the per capita expenditures and of over thirty per cent, over the total expend- tures of the Garfield-Arthur administra¬ tion. That is,he costs the people nine per cent, a head more than Garfield and Ar¬ thur cost them, and in the total per year this increase makes $100,000,000, or nearly a third of the total sum expended annually under Garfield and Arthur. We have made this comparison of two Republican administrations that Repub¬ licans may the better understand how costly are Harrison’s incompetency and radicalism. Here is a similar compari¬ son for three administrations: Per Capita.

He will notice also that while Arthur’s per capita expenditure is con¬ siderably above Cleveland’s, Harrison’s is much higher than Arthur’s. The plea that the increase of Har¬ rison’s total is due to increase of popula¬ tion being thus disposed of, no defense remains for Harrison. He stands con¬ fessed on his record the costliest as well as the smallest President the country ever had.—St. Louis Republic. Stockings. Under the law which was repealed by the passage of the McKinley act the tariff tax on ordinary stockings was 40 per cent. The McKinley act has made the tax, according to value, 54.59 per cent., 70.41 per cent., 69.57 per cent, and 58.99 per cent. In 1891 the people of this country bought foreign $3,380,724. stockings that cost on the other side The tariff $3,380,724 tax on them was $2,349,196, so that for worth of stockings the im¬ porters paid $5,729,920, and those who wore the stockings paid this enhanced price and the profits of the wholesaler and retailer reckoned on the whole. This is what the McKinley law has done for the wearers of stockings. Home very caused eminent phyncttins grief, anxiety hold that Msacer is by or disappointment.
