That is why over two-thirds of the democrats in the house voted for it. A FEW years ago wire nails were no dear farmers could not afford to use them, but now, under protec tion, they have fallen in price until they are fold for less than the tariff on the imported article, and con sumers get home-made nails which are not only low in price, but the best in quality of any made in the world. TnE public debt of he United States has been paid during the last ten years at the rate of $100,000, 000 per year. The greatest propor tion has been paid during Presi dent Harrison's term, the surplus revenues being used to buy bonds of the government in the open mar kets. During President Cleveland's term this was allowed to accumu late in the hands of favored banks and made a bugaboo of to help pass the Mills bill reducing the tariff. Indiauola (la.) Herald. Representative Hariek of Ohio, who al.o boldly saj-s: "I am a dem ocrat," has other fears than free sil ver and a protective tariff. Listen to him: "The great danger to the democratic party is that she will ri!' -v .- lit-i self to a few individuals, i v of them like Nr. Hill, utterly r'.hy to be consorted with, . . . ihc will divorce herself from eternal principles of liberty and political equality, and equal frights for all men with special privileges for none." THE democratic free binding twine bill was too great a sham and swindle even for the tariff reform stomach of the New York Times. That muwump journal usually hails with joy each and every redcu tion of protective duties, but the so called free binding-twine bill was such a transparent piece of elec tioneering humbug that it had to draw the line on it. The bill repre sented stupidit' that was not to be applauded even in the name of tariff reform. The Times was compelled to say: "The removal of the insig nificant duty on binding twine could be of no service to the western farmers, whom the majorit' of the members are supposed to have in mind. That duty is only seven tenths of a cent per pound. The re moval of it would not perceptibly reduce the price of binding twine." THE MISSISSIPPI FLOODS. "The Maker of the Universe never created but one thing which he could not control," said the distin guished orator, SergeantJL. Prentiss, "and that was the Mississippi river. He made it, turned it loose, and let it rip." This graptc view is practic ally confirmed by the annual floods like the one that is now devastating ths southern portion of the country. The situation is worse in some re spects than has been known for sev eral years, and the result must be a loss of property and an interruption of industry that will seriously re tard the prosperity and welfare of thousands of citizens. It seems to be impossible to provide adequate and reliable means of protection against these terrible disasters. The great river has a way f turning the calculations of science to mockery, and brushing aside the most formid able defenses that engineering skill has yet been able to devise. There are contingences in its scheme of operations that can not be foreseen. The experience of one year is not al ways a sa fe guide for the next one, owing to the intervention of new sources of danger and new methods of attack and destruction. Those who lire in the districts subject to overflow are never certain that they be permitted to raise a crop or to re main in their homes. They are at the mercy of a force that may ruin them in a day, and their efforts to avert the calamity count for little or nothing as a general rule. It is insisted by those who are bent acquainted with the condition of the problem that the levee sys tem is the only feasible plan of protection; but it proves to be a disappointment when put to a severe test. New breaks occur every year it points where perfect security had previously been felt, and it is by no means sure that any form of embankment will resist the flood under all circumstances. A large amount of money has been expended in the construction of such works, and competent engi neers have declared the most im portant of them to be impregnable, but the river still repeats its disas ters year after year in spite of all such appliances. Possibly the system would be effective if the ex penditure had been larger. There is a good deal of force in the sug gestion that it is not to be expected that defenses erected at a few points will stand the strain of such a volume of water as the Missis sippi now contains when other points are left unprotected. That is to say, a levee system of a local sort does not give assurance of safety because it takes account only of immediate tacts, when in reality the distant considerations are the governing ones. If the whole country adjoining the river from St. Louis to New Orleans could be provided with levees, these annual inundations would probably be prevented. The cost of such a system would be enor mous, of course, but the interests involved are also enormous, and the necessary outlay could be justi fied as easily as some others that have been made from time to time under the general welfare clause of the constitution. It is certain, at any rate, that the task of protecting the fertile and valuable lands along the river against the floods that are now so damaging to their owners should be assumed by the government, and that the work should be done in a comprehensive and practical manner.

When I came to New York to work for a living, a door plate was as essential an insignia of gen tility as a bank account, and shops where they were sold were to be found everywhere. On the residence streets of the better class, at a certain hour every morning, you would see a servant on every stoop, polishing the plate up before its owner had his breakfast. The doorplate was with us what the marble front step is to a Philadelphian. Phila delphia's front steps are there yet. Our doorplates have become things of the past, found only on old fashioned houses without pretensions to style. Their places have probably been taken by the coats of arms which fashionable New York now pays a Frenchman to invent or borrow for it, and which make the titled visiting foreigner rub his eyes when he finds his own crest over the door of a Wall street man of unknown origin or a railroad magnate of no ori gin at all.

"What be you after now, Samu'l Pay son?" inquired a brisk and thrifty Ver mont farmer of a thiftless neighbor, who came shuffling across the barnyard one morning with as mnch of a business like air as he was able to assume. "I jest wanted t' know," replied the amiable Samu'l, with bis usual vac illating smile; "I'mtryin f fix tb place up a little, 'gainst some vis'tors we've got comin, an I jest wanted t' know if so be 't you c'd give me an empty barr'l o' flour t' make a hencoop f put a pig in; for 1 ain't got nothing at all t put notbin at all into!"
