* \ Whj He Knew It W»» Good.
Okie of tfae principal men in the
bureau of engraving and printing had
a somewhat peculiar experience .in New
York recently.
He had tx casion to visit the metropo
lis on business, and after a stay of
several days at one of the chief hotels,
he called for his bill. When it was
given him. he tendered in payment a
brand now $20 silver certificate The
clerk looked at it for a moment, and
then passed it back.
‘•What’s the matter,'” asked the
official.
"I can’t take that,” replied the clerk.
“I don’t think It’s good.”
“Not good,” exclaimed the official.
“Not good! Why, man, 1 know it’s
good. 1 made it myself.”
“Yes.” said the clerk, “that's just
what I thought ’’—Washington Post
4 Her Philosophy*
Of course deceit is an abomination,
i and yet it has its uses. It's very like
• poison—something to be shunned in
everyday life, but extremely valuable
:i at certain crises. They are mainly
social crises. When good temper can
be preserved and harsh feeling escaped
f by a little deceit then it should be used
—or. at least, so says the social philos
opher.
The greatest joy one can give one’s
| enemies is to let them see that their
arrows have struck home. Unless one
wishes to engage in the work of afford
ing pleasure to onets foes it is there
l fore wise to show no anger at their
rr*blo\vs and to be'entirely unaware of
’ A their attitude.
y Put np trust in unexpressed affection.
There is only one thing which will pre
vent a man from giving voice to his de
votion as soon as he is sure of it and as
long us it lasts. That is a total dumb
ness.
Broke the Tobacco Trust*
St. Louis, Mo., (Special)—Col. Wm.
A. Kirchhoff, general western manager
of. the American Tobacco Cp., baa
startled his numerous friends by stop
' ping the use of tobacco. For years he
had smoked twenty strong cigars daily,
' and a lees quantity would leave him
nervous and ill. The habit was under
mining his health, and he tried to quit,
but could not, until he took No-To
Bac, the medical miracle that has cured ;
so many thousands of tobacco-users.
Col. Kirchhoff’s craving for tobacco has
entirely gone, and he feels better than
ever before. He is a great No-To-Bac
enthusiast now. Over 300,000 bad to
bacco-users have been cured by No
To-Bac, and the loss to tobacco manu
facturers is easily over $10,000,000 a

He Worked Barnato,
The English papers hdve been telling
a story about an alleged country person
who recently got the best of Barney
Barnato. He wrote to the king of the
Kaffirs asking for relief from embar
rassment on account pf an overindnl
gence in Kaffirs. “My aim,” he wrote,
"has always keen investment—not spec
ulation. When your bank came, 1 re
garded its shares as an investment and
purchased 400 of them at £4, sinking
my little all in them and a good deal
more. They have now fallen to £3,
and 1 am undone. 1 cannot face my
-parish as a bankrupt, and what am I to
do? I throw myself upon your mercy.”
Mr. Barnato was deeply moved by the
appeal and replied that he would buy
back the shares at £4. On receipt of
this reply the guileless parson wired to
his brokers to “buy 400 shares of Bar
nato stock at £3 and send them around
to Barnato Bros., who will give you £4
for them.”

Nothing More Patriotic Than Protection
to American Industrie*—Centre** Will
Let's late for More Revenue anti In- I
cldental Protection—Revenue Wanted.
By command of the people a customs
revenue system, designed for the pro
tection and benefit of favored classes
at the expense of the great mass of our
countrymen, and which, while inef
ficient for the purpose of revenue, cur
tailed our trade relations and impeded
our entrance to the markets of the
world, has been superseded by a tariff
policy which in principle is based upon
a denial of the right of the government
to obstruct the avenues to our people’s
cheap living or lessen their comfort
and contentment, for the sake of ac
cording special advantages to favorites,
and which, while encouraging our in
tercourse and trade with other nations,
recognizes the fact that American self
reliance, thrift and ingenuity can build
up our country’s industries and develop
its resources more surely than enervat
ing paternalism. — President Cleve
land’s message, December 3, 1895.
Whether the president is wofully ig
norant, or deliberately misrepresenta
tive, it is not our business to Inquire.
But he must be either one or the other
when he speaks of a protective tariff
being "inefficient for the purpose of
revenue,” and as having “curtailed
enue sufficient tor the r.ceds of the gov*
ernment. The existing law does not do
this. It should either be repealed or
amended. It is impossible to repeal it
at present. That will come later. But
we believe that it can be amended;
A tariff upon wool and a change trom
ad valorem to specific rates of duty on
woolens, should add at least $10,000,
000 to the revenue. The restoration of
the McKinley tariff lumber duties
would add, approximately, $1,000,000.
A duty of 5 cents a pound on foreign
cotton would furnish $5,000,000 If im
ports continued as at present. Flax,
hemp, Jute and their manufactures,
now admitted free of duty, would con
tribute to the revenue. Earthenware,
pottery, hides and skins, glass and
glassware, fruits and manufactures of
iron and steel, provisions, tin plate and
many other articles have all afforded
more revenue under a protective tariff
than they do now. To- check the large
imports of such goods, as we are now
receiving, would also stimulate “that
American self-reliance, thrift and in
genuity” which, as Mr. Cleveland tru
ly says, “can build up our country’s in
dustries and develop its resources.” In
such a “patriotic endeavor” the presi
dent "will gladly labor.” It would
“further the Interests and guard the
welfare of our countrymen.” Moreover,
it would supply a sufficiency, not a de
ficiency, of revenue. This is what is
needed.
Dfmnmtio Trade Revival.
The condition of the New York
stock market is said to be invariably
the precursor of trade conditions. What
business men may expect, therefore,
is outlined by the following quotation
from the Wall Street Dally News:
"There seems to be no' legitimate
buying power. Nb matter how much
stocks decline they offer no temptation
to the public; hence, the dry goods plan
of marking goods down to figures that
will create buying must be followed.
Until a genuine absorption of securities
takes place, it is, idle to expect any
permanent improvement-in prices. For
the moment, the uncertainties in the
situation will undoubtedly prevent any
general or large buying for long ac
count. Aside from the fact that farm

our trade relations and impeded our
entrance to the markets of the world.”
He has but to consult the trade and rev
enue statistics of the United States to
learn that such statements are false in
every particular. Hoping that some
congressman will publicly present the
facts so that they may be published
the Congressional Record, we turn to
what we deem to be the policy of the
friends of protection in the -fifty-fourth
congress.
The idea of creating “renewed ac
tivity and enterprise in all business
circles” by an “increase of our bonded
debt” is so absurd that it has suggest
ed questions as to the president’s san
ity. Of course, such a proposition wil*.
not receive a moment’s serious con
sideration, but the friends of protec-,
tion should set themselves to work to ;
devise means for increasing the reve- 1
nue so as to meet our expenditures.
The Republicans have always done this j
heretofore and they will not hesitate J
again. Their duty is too plain. Reve- !
nue must be furnished, and the presi- ■
dent offered his co-operation in the'
following closing words of his mess
age:
“I desire, however, to assure the
congress that I am prepared to co-op
erate with them in perfecting any other
measure (than ‘increase of our bonded
debt”), promising thorough and prac
tical relief, and that I will gladly labor
with them in every patriotic endeavor
to further the interests and guard the
welfare of our countrymen whom in
our respective places of duty we have
undertaken to serve.”
There can be no more “patriotic en
deavor to further the interests and
guard the welfare of our eountrymen”
than by the reenactment of a protect
ive tariff policy. The complexion of the
senate, however, prevents this being
done at once. Meantime there need be
no further necessity for a deficient rev
enue such as we have experienced un
der the Gorman tariff. The protect
ionists must prepare a bill for revenue
purposes.
To do this will require the exercise
of much care and judgment. But there
aro members of the house of represen
tatives who are fully equal to the occa
sion, and it is the prime duty of the
house of representatives to furnish rev
products are at starvation prices and
that there Is a halt In Industrial activ
ity, is the coming meeting ol congress
and its unsettling consequences. There
is also the question of gold exports,
which are likely to take place at al
most any moment.”
Reports from all hands on the gen
eral condition of trade in every line of
business, and from all authorities, are
indicative rather of the nature of a
wake. Perhaps this is the free-trade
notion of revival.
The Duty of CongreM*
Free trade and no foreign policy ad
vocates appear to be without a leader.
The man who poses to be better than
his people appears to be without a
party. Old and tried officials in fi
nance and government are talking to
more earnest listeners, and will likely
again be called upon to reinstate confi
dence, business and stability In Amer
ican enterprises still sorely embar
rassed. The 64th congress will place
the responsibility of the additional
public debt and the chronic deficiency
in treasury funds .exactly where it be
longs.—Clapp’s Weekly Market Letter.
Pulitzer’* Tex on Labor.
There is no necessity whatever for
attacking American labor by increasing
the tariff on raw material used in our
manufactures of woolens. A gentle in
crease in the beer tax will supply all
needed revenue.—The World, N. Y.
Would not this be “attacking Amer
ican labor” by increasing the cost,
lessenirg the quantity or deteriorating
the quality of “American labor’s” dai
ly refreshment? Can this be from the
pen of that Pulitzer who poses as the
friend of labor and forces the people
to such a condition that they must ac
cept his free bread charity, or starve?
VTlUon Not In Congre**.
The next tariff will be made by the
party of protection. It will be an
American tariff, framed with a view
to give American industry the first
chance in the t, merican market It will
lack the sweet simplicity of ad valorem
duties, which hold out the largest re
wards to the exporters and importers
who do the tallest swearing.—The In- 1

Bismarck's Lower Lip.
It is said that Prince Bismarck is par
ticularly well pleased with the truthful
way in which 1‘fretzschner, the sculp1
tor, has treated his lower lip in the re
lief medallion for his monument being
erected on the Iludelsburg. "The art
ists,” he says, "have always made my
busts without giving me justice as far
as my lower lip is concerned, and that
is wrong. It is there, and it is there
very much—but not too much, for that
would indicate willfulness That was
} never one of my qualities, and I have
; always been amenable to argument if
I better opinions than mine were given.
; But a well formed lower lip indicates
; perseverence. Upon the completion of
j the artist’s work the prince took the
i modeling spitula into his own hand
and engraved personally his well
known "V. B.,” giving the medallion a
signature which no other Bismarck por
trait has ever received.

The Literature of Crime.
Buffalo Express: Those persons who
like to fancy that published accounts of
crime tend to incite people to commit
similar crimes can amuse themselves
by discussing the possible responsibility
of Mary E. Wilkins for a recent murder
in Albany, Ore. Miss Wilkins' detec
tive story, published in the Express,
told of a woman who dressed in man’s
clothes to commit a murder. Very
soon after its publication this Oregon
woman actually donned male garb and
committed a murder. To be sure, she
may never have heard of Mary E.
Wilkins or her story. Then, again, it
is usually the true stories of crime as
published in the newspapers which
meet objection • from these critics.
They may be as ready to argue that
literature ought to be suppressed as
that news should be. But perhaps
they can induce an argument to show
that no person should be allowed to
learn to read.

- There are two kinds of sarsaparilla: The best—and the
rest. The trouble is they look alike. And when the rest
dress like the best who’s to tell them apart? Well, “the tree
is known by Its fruit.” That’s an old test and a safe one.
And the taller the tree’ the deeper the root. That's another
.test. What's the root,—the record of these sorsaparillas ? The
one with the deepest root is Ayer’s. The one with the richest
fruit; that, too, is Ayer’s. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has a record of
half a century of cures; a rocord of many medals and awards —
culminating in the medal of the Chicago World’s Fair, which,
admitting Ayer’s Sarsaparilla as tho best—shut its doors against
the rest. That was greater honor than tho medal, to bo the only
Sarsaparilla admitted as an exhibit at tho World’s Fair. If you
