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.

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

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

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

presently and smiled contemptuously;
nevertheless continued his route Ho do
sired to see for tho last liino the beiuge
and things familiar to him Ho salutwl
with the tips of his lingers the sentry who
presented arms, gave an amicablo good
day to the sous oflicer on guard, a man of
his own squadron, made the tour of tho
barracks without dismounting, threw a
glance into tho stables, directed the ofucer
of the day to remit some punishments
that ho had Inflicted tho evening before,
passed to the gate, leaped it and turned
aud swept the building with a gazo of
adieu.
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

ately there was a second shock that shook
him- from head "to foot a sensation' of
