Morn after ’morn the artisan Has watched with longing eye ' To see the grimy smoke In wreaths Swirl up Into the sky; He listened for the whistle shrill— Its echoes came not back— And cold and black and deaolate Still stood the chimney stack. He heaved a sigh for days gone by When early r rising day Found him with face to fac t t’ry turned. 'Light hearted on the way. ■- Ana now straight on before his eyes, While on his Journey bent, ' Behold the Bmoke-crowned chimney stack, Industry’s monument. ' The shouts of men give him good cheer When he has reached his goal; ' The hissing steam the fact’ry roar Are music to his soul. The grimy Titans of the shop— Waifs of the wizard’s brain— * With deft and skillful hand he leads - Submissive in his train; • Or with uplifted arm he rains Such sturdy, ringing blows As fashion forms of usefulness. And thrift and wealth bestows; He laughs and sings from morn till night Like the miller of the Dee; His fireside is his sweet delight: Itich in content is he. Ho hears again the tuneful ring That melds the hammered steel. He hears again the whirring din Of swiftly turning wheel: Ther? are the bustling ranks, of men— Our nation’s stalwart prop; Tiio fires are lit and there, above, is the nomking chimney top. Akron, Ohio, —Josiah Hartnell. RETAIL STORE TRADE. BeueUtH Accruing to All Claude* of Worker* Cutler the Diitglejr ]:■;!. The free trade papers of New York city are doing excellent work in popu larizing the Dlngley tariff. By the aid of illustrations, showing the examina tion of the baggage of passengers who arrive from Europe, they point out .clearly to American dressmakers, .jewelers and tailors, to the dry goods, stores, to men’3 clothiers,^ and to all whom they employ, that the patriotic policy of protection will check whole sale smuggling on the part of tourists. The former policy of promoting the in dustry of the smugglers also stim ulated the robbery of the United States treasury and encouraged the Tobbery of American wage-earners. .Speaking of the “unpratriotic American citizens who go to Europe for their boots and clothing," the Daily Telegraph of Syd ney, Australia, said: The swarm of these people has been Increasing of late to such an extent that American tailors and bootmakers have been agitating on the subject. So have American milliners and dress makers. Women are .among the wont offenders. They not only pay the cost of a trip to Europe out of what they save on the purchase of a year’s dresses and personal fixings, but they make a trifle out of the deal by bring ing across cargoes of things on com misssion for their female friends and enemies. Such of these things as could be classified as personal garments had to be worn In order to admitted free of duty. The elastic female conscience used to get over this difflculty, while the owner of it at the same derived a certain amount of satisfaction, by try ing on all the frippery during the trip across. Thousands of tourists, jnen and women, brought over enough clothing to last them for several sea sons. The Dingley bill is going to put a stop to this as far as legislation can stand against the ingenuity t>f lawless ness. While this statement may be some what overdrawn, it is important to note the interest in the subject that is taken by a free trade paper in a free trade British colony. At any rate the "ingenuity of lawlessness” is being checked, the robbery of the United States is being stopped and the em ployment of American labor is being increased, to the great delight of both male and female American wage earners, also to the benefit of our home store trade. The Baying of Food. Retaliation will be next in order, and it is almost certain that means will be found to discourage the importation of our breadstuffs and meat products and petroleum into European countries that will find the markets of the United States closed to their manufacture by the new Republican tariff bill.—Spring field, 111., Register. . Europeans are not going ta cut off their noses to spite their faces. If they arc in need of food, and know they can buy it from the United States, they will buy it here. If they don't need it,- not all the free-trade calamity howlers in the world will make them buy it. True to Their Record. Once more the Republican party has proven itself the greatest political or ganization in constructive ability which the nation has known. Another Republican promise has been grandly performed, and the prosperity which has been absent for many years will soon be restored to the country.—Kit ;aning (Pa.) Press. , ’Twas ever thus. But the best of It is that the people, having had their "object lesson,” have realized the full force of Republican teachings, thus as-, suring the maintenance of Republican prosperity for many years to come.
