most valuable and easily mined deposits
of iron oro Our' forests for timber are

variety und richness. Our wool clip is
enormous and capable of still larger de

beats the world. And so ct every crude
material and fiber that enters into the
products of protected American indus
tries. They are here in rich and lavish
abundance. The earth is with mineral
wedth. Our vast forests are waving in
primeval majesty.
All that is needed to place these raw
materials at the doors of our mills, fac
toria, f rges, furnaces and workshops is
Ubor American la)-or. .
Why should we tro three thousand live
hundred miles across the sea to dig these
raw materials out of the earth, at enor
mous depths, at great labor tnd dilliculty
compared with the ease with which I hey
can be secured here, instead of mining
and cutting them here Why could we
s cute them cheaper thiity five hundred
miles away tha right here at home, at
our back doors! Come Free-Trader,
-peak up and tell us. Is it not because
the labor is so much cheaper than Amer
ican labor? Is there any other reason,
and, if so, what is it? Is the iron easier
to get at No, not half so easy. Is any
ore, or mineral, or raw material nearer
the surface, more accessible, on cheaper
laud? No, none of these. But the
pauper la or of Europe can dig it
out of the ground a mile doep, and then
seud it three thousand five huudrcd
miles across the sea, aud still place it at
ur furnace doors at a lower rate than
American labor can afford to produce it
ut.
It is purely a question of labor. What
A brum S. Hewitt said on this point over
f r y years ago, in a speech in this very
city, has never been improved upon. He
siM:
"The value of ev ry manufacture i
made up entirely of the wages paid to
produce it. Coal and iron in the mines
Cost nothing. They are t lie free gift ol
(b 1. But they are excavated by the
pick and shovel of the workman; by him
they are wheeled, carted and boated to
market; by the workman they are carried
to the mill, by the workman the furnace
is heated and charged; by him the iron
is .mddled, rolled, put up for market,
carried thither aud sold. It is labor,
labor, labor, that constitutes every addi

the man who bestows that labor who

We have raw materials in abundance

woald ra'her allow them to waste in the

What Am I To Do?
The symptoms of biliousness are un
u ippily but too well known. They differ
.-i d liferent individuals to some extent.
A bilious man isseldom a breakfast eater.
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
pp ;tite for liquids but noue for solids
of a morning. His tongue will hardly"
ear inspection at any time; if it is not
wh t and furred, it is rough, at all
events.
Th.- digestive system is wholly out of
order and diarrhea or constipation may
'e a symptom or the two may alternate.
There are often hemorrhoids or even loss
of blood. There may be giddiness and
often headache ind acidity or flatulence
nd tender-ess in the pit of the stomach

'Oh. Alan. Alan I cauna lat you go "
The cry was n full of bitter anguish
that it touched even the light and cal

"Never mind, lassie.' he said, cheerily

much better than 'fare well
"Ay, laddie, ay 'tis so You'll come

ou've gie'n mo word, Alan?"
The question was so eager, and yet so
leiuh-rly conliilentl
"Cotuo again to yon ami Oban?" be
asked, laughing "Now. could I stay
.way? There, they art" calling from the
boat; I must go. tiood-by, Margurlh.
bo true to the broken sixjeiH'e."
"True- to her troth plight." fcho thought,
'tho anirels in heaven could not be truer."
nd as he waved his hand to her in last
farewell, she (lid not know that he had
io more Intention of returning to her to
ceep his plighted faith, than ho had of
putting on a hist year's Tided garment,
hrown aside fr a ti(vver fancy
Hho watched him till the blinding tears
hid him from her bight A cracked and
querulous voice greeted her as she en
tered the little cottago.
"So 'ee's aye gane. the noo? An' 'twould
ha' been as weel had it been a mouth
a-gane. Ye've fashed mo hair, Margurth,
vvi' your loviu's and leavin's Gae to j our
wark. girl."
Margurth sighed It was so hard to
be forced to her regular routine of duties
while her heavy heart lunged for the
brooding" silence of tho beach and cliffs
She had yet to learn that grief is soonest
overcome by tiring labor
"I'd ne'er ha' seen him had 'ee gane a
mouth ago, aunt," she said, listlessly
"I'm thinkiu' 'twould ha' been as well
had ye no'."
"What mean ye, aunt?" Margurth cried,
indignantly "1 hao his faith surelio ye
cauna misdoot tho broken sixpencel"
"Ay, can I," replied her aunt, grimly,
'an' Lira as weel till I see him again."
The days went heavily by at the cot
tsge. The aunt was more ailing and com
plaining than usual, und Margurth's life
nt best was a hard one.
She had a soul above dusting and dish
washing, things that occupied her aunt's
whole attention when sho was able to
drag herself about her work "Ah, bonnie
laverock I" sighed Margurth, catching the
souud of his merry lilting as it dropped to
!ir through the blue air. "Could I but
wing wi you for a day, how quick I'd find
iiiui, an' nestle doou into his lovin' heart I"
But these longings she kept close locked
iu her bosom, and the winter passed iu
loneliness, but tinged with hope for the
coming spring.
When tho tsuow had melted enough for
her to reach the village again, to make
her simple purchases, hhe found that dur
ing the snows and storms evil rumor had
been busy also. On every hand sho met
with coldness and suspicious glances
where she had been accustomed to warm
ordiaiity from her Scotch neighbors. She
was vaguely troubled, but forgot all
tbont it in her bitter disappointment at
.hiding no letter as yet from Alan.
Sho was walking slowly, with bent
head, and was half way through the
town, when suddenly a young girl turned
the corner ahead of "her and was hurrying
swiftly away.
"Alice!" she called, joyfully Surely
uer dear friend, her playmate of so many
bygone years, would be glad to give he)
velcome.
The gir hesjtated, then turned slow)7

"I thocht ye didna see me," said Mar

To her surprise, the girl did not move

"What is't, then?" she exclaimed im
patiently, "what ails the folk?''
"1 ciaurna, Margurth, said Alice, sadly.
"Hither forbid that I should spt-ak wi'
ye, even 1 cauna bide to talli.
Alice saw two Iriemis coming and tried
to hasten away, but Margurth caught her
dress and so held her
"Ye shall na gae," she cried, "till ye
liae telled me a'!"
"Gudo company, 'tis ye'ro keepin'.Mis

" 1 is my lover ye re Epeirin after; tis

cried Margurth, with blazing tjes.
"Na na, spitfire," cried one; " 'ti3 not
j'our lover we care abou'. 'tis that he hae
'gotten an' gane.' as the saj in' rins. He'll
uo' come again to marry."
Alice had shrunk tack at this last
speech, but now s'le looked inquiringly at
ilarrurth and waited for her answer. As
for .Margurth she seemed like one stricken i
to stono. Then tLo tore Ler broken kin
penco from her bosom, where it had rest j
ci for so many mouths, and held it out to '
them. !
"L'j e see thai?" she cried, her breast

They ran away laughing, carrying Alice
with them, though sua looked bk and
evidently would have spoken. Dat liar
gurth had turned c way, and was walking
sadly homeward. So this was what it ail
meant, and unless Aln was thera beforo
fuir night she shuddered to think what
her liio would ba after that, until he
should -come, with pointing fingers anj
cruel sneers folio whig her wherever sho
went. And if he should never code!

Margurth "
It was dusk when 6ho reached the little
cottago How long she had wandered in
her crushing grief sho did not know The
door stood open, and as she crossed the
threshold her foot touched a prostrate
figure. It moaned as she bent over it,
and Margurth cried tn sudden horror,
"Aunt, aunt!"
I5y great exertion she succeeded In get
ting her on tho bed. aud then she threw
her little shawl over her head and started
for tho village. Tho way had never been
so loug before, yet she had never gono so
last. At la-st fche stood before tho houso
of tho English doctor. io had recently
come there, and hurriedTy rang the bell.
She could not go to fr Makenzie. who
bad dosed her aunt with harm less pills
for years. Tho doctor was at home, and,;
looked sharply at her as she iiuide known
her errand.
"You are cold and tired, my girl," he
naid, "come in and rest.
"Na, na, I canna." sho cried, breath
lessly. "Haste, gudo mon, oh, make
haste sho's like to dee!" It seemed to
her almost as though bhe wa.s hi some
way to blame for her aunt's seizure.
The doctor shook his head wheu he saw
tho patient. Sho might live a month, ho
said, and she might live only till morn
ing. Ho gave Margurth some medicino
for her and then went away, promising to
look in again the next day
i One week, two weeks passed ami then
the stern soul was forever at rest. It
was not until after the funeral that Mar
gurth had time to think of herself and
her own future Tho events of that af
ternoon had no faded beforo the tragedy
that followed . that it was not until now
that sho remembered how near fair night
had come. Her mind was in an agony of
hope and feor, belief and foreboding Her
i days were full of waking terrors, her
i nights, of fearsome dreams Tho min
1 ister called to advise with h.-r as to her
future, and was willing enough to receive
her into his own faruilj', her aunt having
i left her all the little wealth accumulated
by years of toil, but Margurth seemed
scarcely to L".ar him. and only said,
"Wait a wee, sir, an let me speir wi' my
sol' afore I say 'ay' or 'na.'"
"I am fcarfu', Margurth, that what tho
evil tongues say has sumo foumlut ion o'
truth. 1 will return to you when j-ou
are acfpicnt wi' your own mind," said the
good man, half angrily, as ho took hit
leave. "I shall send my sister to bo wi
you till j'ou hao decidit."
'Twas fair day fast sinking into night.
All day long knots of girls had gathered
among tho gay booths or under tho trees
at tho edgo of tho groimds. discussing
some project which seemed to cause mirth
for all, and to which one fair haired girl
cried "shame!" a cry which was drowned
in laughter. As the dusk deepened they
stealthily loft the place and in tho early
dark gathered around a little cottago in
the outskirts of the village. At first there
was laughing and rapping at tho doors,
and cries of "Margurthl" then one or
two stooped und threw Landfuls of mud
at. the shluing windows; und tinally one,
more bold than tho rest, pushed open the
door and led them in to wreak their chas
tisement on the unhappy girl within.
But Margurth was not there.
It was a beautiful night soft and dark,
lit only by the stars, that winked merrily
at the dark river flowing beavily by.
Two forms were outlined against tho star
lit skj', sitting band in hand on the bal
cony above; a third crouched stealthily
below. The man was epeakinfr and there
was no mistaking tho love that quivered
tliroufrh Ids earnest tones. The li&teuor
helow shivered with mortal cold.
"There is one incident in my life, Ethel,
that 1 have been ashamed to tell you,."
His companion turned her soft cjes on
him ia wondering surprise "But now
that our wedding day i.j to near." ho con
iiuued. "I fec-1 that I must tell you and

custom of Lreaking a sixpence w ith her

."But you love me best. Alan?" she mur
mured. "Ay. love, better than life itselfl" he
said, and the crouching figure moaned as

away.
"Then I forgive j-ou. you bad boy!" she
said, tenderly "And no doubt your
