Democratic journalists aol stump speakers often ask why it is that if the tariff is good iu the Uuited States, it is no good iu the other countries which have a protective system. Mr. Mill, who points with pride to the fact that in f.-ee-trade Eagland wages are higher than in protectionist Germany, evidently thinks that lie has, by this illustration, settled the whole controversy n to ll. merits ol the respective industrial system-, and settled it in favor of the free traders If wages are higher in England than in Germany and protectionists concede that, on the whole tiny are high er then according to Mr. Mid' logic, free trade has proven its superiority over its rival scheme, and ought to le adoj t ed in the United States. There are many flaws iu the reasoning of free traders with respect to England and Germany. The tariff system has been in operation iu Germany nine years only. Preyious to 1879 there has been a long period of virtual free trade in that country. When the tariff was adopted in that year, however, industries of all sorts throughout the country were im mediately and wonderfully invigorated and extended, and a new era of business expansion wasu.herad in. In the past nine years, while the rate of wages Las leen declining in England, it has in creased from 10 to 50 per cent ia Ger many. The iorn worker in Germany get 32 per cent more for his work than he did in 187$, while the iron worker in England gets 10 per cent less now than lie did then. The average increase in Germany under its protective tariff has bCv-n about 15 or SO per cent, taking all occupations together. - England his had several important ad vantages over Germany as well as oyer every other country. Capital is more abundant, in proportion to population. and the interest rate is lower in Great Britain than in any other part of the world. As compared with Germany, Eu- ltnd is marvelously rich in natural re sources, while the supriuiicy which it holds in many industries gives its people special aptitude not possessed by aiy other Europeans. The loss in productive power caued by standing armies is far greater in Germany than iu Great Britain. And yet, iu spite of ail these drawbacks, reraiany has expanded its industries in be past few years in a higher ratio than England lias, while Wages in Germany Jiave risen and in England have fallen. tempt to extract aid and comfort for his side by instituting any industrial com parisons between Germany and Great Britain. Globe Democrat. WE'RE UOINU TO WIN. Fellow Republicans, we're going to win this fight. Why do we say so Be cause we have the best men tor our nom inees. Because we plead for protection to American homes. Because we are the progressive party. Because the people know that the Re publican party, just as soon as it can overcome Democratic oppression, always carries out its promises. But why are we bo certain about win ning? Because we have it direct from men who ought to know men who have the vantage ground to view the situation on all sides men trained by experience in past campaign and know what to expect in this one men who hold facts in their hands; facts not always wise to publish at once, but upon which they can give a (ip to their sentinels. It is on the strength of this tip that we say: We're going to win. One more point, fellow republicans Dou't stop work yet. There s no fear of that on M;e Prt of the leaders; but we are speaking now to the lank and file in fie party. Just you go and And some w.v ering soul, tell him we're going to win and ask him to come in out of the weL Ten to one he'll come, if you ask him cordially Tljw?, V"11' the wavering souls in, we'll give Democracy such a thrashing that it won't dare attack our ho-ne? with free trade agtin in our gen- ration. Let's make Noyember 6th the Appo mattox of free trade. Our German friends and citizens, who think all Germans are democrats will be irpried to ktow thsl jn the cast the rat jority of Germans are republicans, and that the republicans of New York City irive nominated Col. Ebrhart, who is a Gcrrnaa, izt mayor of their city. The Cleveland men say that Hill will run 43,000 behind the national ticket in New York, and the Hill men say that Cleveland will run 80,000 behind the t t ite ticket, AH that is cercain in these wrangles is that Harrison aud Ifliller will carry New York by good, safe majorities. "She's Much Older Than Her Hus band." We heard a young girl make the above remark the other day about a lady with whom we are slightly acquainted. It was not true, yet the lady in question actually does look five years older than her husband, although she is really sever al years his junior. She is prematurely t:ged, and functional derangement is the cause. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription would cure her, and should be recom mended to her, and to all others who are in the same conditon. If the reader of this chances to be a similar sufferer, let hr get the ''Prescription." It will bring b ick her lost beauty, and, better still, it will remove all those distressing symp toms which have made life a burden to h.?r so long. Money refunded if it don't give satisfaction.

Only then did his heart sink, and, fear ing the trouble that invaded him. ho put his mare to tho trot, sooking to fly hi weakness. He had resumed tho way to the forest; before long ho was iu the woods. Kays of sunlight Gltered through out the leaves, designing tho shadows ff the trees and branches upon tho browuijft earth. Drops of the night ": rain still pearled upon the grasses. Capt. Itandon brought his ft&rr.s to A walk. "There is plenty of tin?." ho thought, and allowed himself to go di eam Ing idly, soothed by the freshness of the morning breeze. In tbe meantime he had passed into a wide, sandy alley "tho training nlley." as he remembered, of tho b::rrac!;s; ho had traveled two kilometers nt a jump. He dropped the relns ujon Nini'.-he's neck, and the head and shoulders of l ho man balanced to the right and balanced to 1 h left with thjo regularity of a pendulum. Kandou was absolutely content content with tho pcide of a resolution well ani firmly taken. IIo was happy even to lind himself calm and proud of Lis bravery. At the end of the alley ho traversed a wide clearing, and a hundred meters fur ther stopped. Behind a tall hedge near by, a stone's throw from the highway, not more, tho lino of tho railway ran; tho descent that led to it was perpendicular and covered with pebbles and jagged points of stone. Pale as a corpse, Kan don observed it, a strange emotion hold ing him, his legs weakening beneath him. Ue made a half turn, threw his animal upon her haunches and advanced again, but at a walk. Thero was plenty of time. Niniche was afraid of a trco that had fallen across her route, and plunged vio lently. A littlo more and Kandon had been dismounted. It was a painful sur prise to him. "Chutl" ho cried, "what Is tho matter with tne? Can I rido no more?" And. afraid of being afraid, bo stiffened him sal anew and began to pet and soothe her less to calm his animal, perhaps, thau to reassure himself. "Gently, Mamie, gently; no precipita tion. Easy, my girl. easy. Thou thalfc have thy gallop by and by." Again, he stopped and made a half turn; again hesitated; for tho desire to wheel, the desiro to fly and turn uo moro had come upon him strongly; but only for an instant. Theq quiekly unwilling to allow himself a moment to reflect, a mo ment to re ,et ho roso in his stirrups, bent his body forward, and-the race began! The wind cut his face, tears wet his eyelashes, hut still he went with dizzying rapidity, tho trunks of tho treoa passing" him liko specters. Nothing was clear or distinct nothing but a vague, confused impression that it was his life thus flying from him In fragments. But still he went, and now it was tho noiso of a horse that ho believed he hcarojPw' pursuing him. He turned in tho saddle nothing tbe noise was nothing but tho noise of tho pebbles that Ninicho's flying feet cast behind her. But this Idea that a horso pursued him pleased his fancy, set it goiug, and immediately ho Imagined himself upon the "track" and making tho last grand round. Uo hurried the pace of his mount. The circuit of the clearing had twieo been passed; the gait was frightful, but tho hedge was before him; behind the hedgoEe divined it without soelug it the precipice, with Its jagged, rocky hlde&l Then be felt himself at the end of his breath tho air he swallowed came from his panting lungs in shrill whistlings! In the twinkling of an eye he Lad a vision, a dim realization of that which was to be his death a fall Into space, a complete failure of respiration, a crushing blow upon the head! The Idea pf stopping his, mare croswd his mind. He bore the re-ins too late! Already be was upon tho edge! Ue closed his eyes; he abandoned himself, but-instinctively loosening tbe reins and lock ing his legs according to his habit when leaping obstacles. He had a half consciousness of tho mo ment when Niniche arose in tho air. He experienced a sense of relief; it was fin ished! He forced himself neither to hear, to see nor to breathe, but ho bent his spine as ono who awaits a volley of blows from a cudgel! Ho fell, he bounded, he rolled! How long it was. that bounding and roll ing; and then that dull noise of a shock opoa hard ground that he heard! "1 am swooning." he thought. mV a cruel pain iu his head recalled him. "Up hid broken it.' Had ha" " But immedi ately there was a second shock that shook him- from head "to foot a sensation' of rending and tearing throughout his body.
