THE LABORES PROTEST.
From every section of the
country the representatives oi
labor enter strong protest against
the expansion scheme of the
present administration.
The hard-handed sons of toil
have a right to be heard, for with
the tillers of the soil they consti
tute the backbone of prosperity.
Prices for labor are not only
unprecedentedly, but ruinously
low now. There is something
radically wrong when an able
bodied, willing and competent
working man cannot tor his labor
provide a base means of support
for his family. And underlying
this condition of things there
smoulders a political volcano
which will one dav break forth
and produce such an upheaval as
will shake to atoms our political,
social and civil institutions !
France at one time in her his
tory failed to give heed to the
plaintive cry of distressed, des
pairing and hungry laborers, and
in the hey-day of what she vainly
imagined was the flower and full
ness of Imperial pomp and splen
dor, the great explosion came,
and the French Revolution stands
out to-day as one of the most ap
palling facts in the history of na
tions! And it ought to prove a
warning to her sister nations who,
flushed with victory and blinded
by the glitter of Imperialism are
about to commit a like mistake
with like results.
These laboring people think
and not without reason, that they
see in this un-American and es
pecially un-democratic move
ment, danger to themselves and
families. The open door policy
means to open the door for the
flocking to this country thousands
of cheap laborers, and therefore
the lowering of their already low
wages, they believe, and thus be
lieving they, by 7 the commories
and yet the strongest, sacredest
instincts of humanity stand
against it!
If their fears are well-groundt d
and these far off, foreign compet
itors shall come, the employer
will be benefitted but the employee
Most women approach
the critical period of
motherhood fur the first
time with a sense of
_ jC\ dread and foreboding
/S. \ lest the ruth
\ x, \ O-V l ess hand of
death should
snatch them
" away and leave
expectant
y Wr ’Ti?" little darling
/ motherless. But
rj no woman who
fortifies herself
Ica with the strength
jru® el ?' n £ power of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription need feel
one instant’s misgiving about either her
self or the prospective little one.
This matchless “Prescription” will give
her exactly the kind of healthy vitality
she needs and at the time she needs it
most. It will give elastic endurance t»
the entire delicate organism involved in
motherhood. It will make the coming of
baby absolutly free from danger and nearly
free from pain.
It will insure the baby’s start in life bv
imparting, through its influence upon the
mother, that sturdy infantile vigor which
gladdens a mother’s heart. It is the only
medicine which can be implicitly relied
upon for this purpose ; and the only rem
edy expressly di signed by an educated, ex
perienced physician to give perfect health
■nd strength to the delicate, special organ
ism of women.
Mr. Joseph Ramsey, of Williams. Colleton
a C., writes: “I have been using your medi
cines for some time and am happy to say that
they have done all that you claim for them I
think they have no equal in the world. I would
advise all women while in a delicate state
to use Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription It
shortens the time of birth ami makes the labor
easier. My wife is the mother of five children
and she suffered almost death in the birth of
them until this last one ; the time of birth was
short, and labor easy, from the use of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.,’
Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Ad
viser used to set! for $1.50, now it is free.
It tells all about the home-treatment of
ordinary diseases. Several chapters are
devoted to the diseases of women. For a

PROOFREADING AS AN ART.
The One Successful at It Must Have
Many Accomplishments.
s
A recent issue of a Boston
daily paper contains the follow
ing advertisement:
“Any lady of fair education
can learn to read proof under
personal instruction of one of the
world’s foremost proofreaders;
a genteel occupation, easily
learned ; pays £ls to S3O weekly.
First class ever formed in Boston
now being organized ; member
ship limited; immediate applica
tion necessary to enter class.
Terms very reasonable.”
We heartily favor the proposi
tion that every woman should be
the mistress of a remunerative oc
cupation, by which she can con
tribute something to the industry
and movement of the world, as
well as to her own support when
necessary, and we sincerely sym
pathize with the efforts of women
to extend this field of useful and
honorable employment and to
gain access to new vocations.
Proofreading is certainly one of
those vocations. But no mistake
could be greater than to think of
proofreading as something that
“any lady can learn.”
Proofreading is more than a
trade. It is worthy of being called
| a profession. It is capable of be
ing made a fine art. The true
proofreader is the “finisher” of
the “product.” And there is this
paradox about his work—when
it is well done there is a sense in
which it does not show; we re
member the proofreader only
when he is careless or neglectful.
But so it is in truth with much
good work; it is often the not
doing or the missdoing rather
than the doing that enforces at-

[ tention.
The mere mechanics of proof
reading anybody can learn who
can master the differences of let-
■ ters and fonts, who has a quick
and accurate eye and who can
. order types and leads and spaces
! and punctuation marks out of
disorder and set each in its proper
place and relation.
But the mechanics of proof-
■ reading are simply its primary
. elements. To be able to spell
and write the English language
p correctly, to know something in
these days of other languages, at
least the modern, to have some
general knowledge of history
and biography, to have a memo
ry for names and dates, to be
able to catch an author when he
slips and check him when he
goes astray, to remove the stains
and smooth out the creases which
sometimes disfigure the best of
writing, to be able to suggest the
last touch of polish for the page
in type before it goes to become
the page in print—all this belongs
to the work of the true and truly
efficient proofreader and demands
a combination of qualities which
it is rare indeed to find in one
person. The first principles of
proofreading “any lady can
learn,” but to be a proofreader in
the 1 rge and distinguished sense
is the growth of years of experi
ence and may call into exercise
almost as wide resources of schol
arship and almost as great ver
satility of talent as authorship it
self. It is a position to which any
man or woman of brains and gifts
might well aspire. Proofreaders
like the late William Nichols of
Cambridge and like Mr. A. W.
Stevens of Lexington exemplify
what we mean. Many an author
of fame owes more to the pains
taking and ceaseless fidelity 01
his proofreader than he would
himself perhaps be willing to ac
knowledge, and the feat of riding
I several mental horses at once is
ny no means the least of the
many forms of skill in waich the
proofreader must be an adept.
All success, then, to learners
• of the ancient and honorable ai
of proofreading, but let t
make the mistake of su
’ that proficiency in it is to
