The Company You Seep.
A person is known by the company he
keeps , and frequently-as the humorist
puts it-by the company he keeps out
of.
of.Be
Be careful in choosing your asso-
ciates. Never make friends-acquaint-
ances would perhaps be the better word
I -with those whose language , habits , or
general conduct you would be ashamed
to see and hear in your own home. If
you do , you are sure to be the sufferer.
The person of low tastes and conduct is
much less likely to be beneflted by your
superior ways than you are to be degraded -
graded to his level. Such , unfortunately -
ly is the law of nature. Let fall a drop
of milk into a pail of water. It is lost
in a moment. But let fall a drop
of black ink into this same water and
its presence will soon be noticeable. A
rotten apple will finally taint a whole
barrel full of sound fruit , but who
would think of putting a good apple
Into a barrel of decayed fruit for the
purpose of making them sound again ?
This doesn't mean that virtue has no
leavening influence , but simply that it
is easier to go down hill than up. So
don't keep questionable company. If
you cannot find the right kind of associates -
sociates , the kind who will make you
better and nobler , be sufficient unto
yourself. Live with your books and the
worthies of all time , who are so willing -
ing to give you through their pages a
' --a
-
friendship greater and benigner than
that of kings. The world will surely
judge you by the company you keep.
"Tell me with whom you associate , "
said Goethe , "and I will tell you who
you are. If I know what your business
is , I know what can be made of you. "

Every Wrong Act Leaves a Scar.
11Iy boyhood home was not far south
of the great chain of North American
lakes , says J. B. DeMotte. Our fuel
was poles cut from a neighboring tamarack -
- - ' arack swamp , it was my business ,
after they had been brought to our
yard , to saw them to proper length for
the stoves. They were long and slick ,
and hard to hold. One morning , when
I was in a hurry to be off fishing , they
seemed to be especially aggravating.
Getting the saw fast , I jerked about
until finally I plunged the teeth some
distance into one of my feet , making an
ugly gash. My father saw the exhibition -
tion of my temper , but said nothing until -
til I had finished my work and my passion -
sion had subsided. Then he called mete
to him.
"John , " said he , very kindly , "I wish
you would get the hammer. "
"Yes , sir. "
"Now a nail and a piece of pine
board. "
' "Here they are. "
"Will you drive the nail into the
board ? "
It was done.
"Please pull it out again. "
" ' . "
"That's easy.
"Now , John , " and my father's voice
dropped to a lower , sadder key , "pull
out the nail hole. "
Ah ! boys and girls , every wrong act
leaves a scar. Even if the board were
a living tree , yea , a living soul , the
scars remain.
Oar Nation's Stumbling Block.
Religious Herald : The great cause of
divorces is the liberty of remarriage
after divorce. We say without the
slightest hesitation that this is the most
threatening evil of American life. Over
40,000 divorces were granted in this
country In 1594 , not one in ten of which
would have been granted had there not
been the liberty of marrying again. It
seems unjust to compel an innocent man
0r woman to remain unmarried after
divorce , but we are convinced that this
r' - is the teaching of the word of God , and
that its observance would prevent the
, ; great majority of divorce cases. It is
ry r better that there should now and then
' be a case of such suffering than that
the laws of God be broken and society
be endangered by taking away the safeguards -
guards of marriage.
-Tiny Republics of the , World.
A quaint little republic came to light
y only recently when the citizens of Andorra -
dorra boldly threw off the yoke of
' ' " tribute to the French. 'Tis true it was
only the sum of $200 which they re-
-.4 fused to pay ; but their action was suffi-
' dent to recall from obscurity for a moment -
ment the Liliputian realm nestling on
the heights of the Pyrenees. The vale
of Andorra measures less than eighteen
raP" ' ' miles in either direction , 'but it is the
' Home of one of the oldest republics in
the world , the constitution of which is
four years older than England's
IlIagna Charta. The Andorrese number
in all but 10,000 souls , and these and
their "ancestors have lived for one bun-
: - - dred years in the heart of Europe without -
word of its his-
out ! raving written one -
x. Tory.
But Andorra is only one of a score
of tiny republics-miniature nations ,
some of which are only to be found
marked on navigator's charts. Tava-
rola , for Instance. Is the smallest repub-
' lie on the , face of the globe. It occupies
an island off the northeast coast of
Sardinia. and comprises fifty-five peer -
' 2 r
pie. It enjoys , however , the distinction
of equal suffrage. Then there are
Goust , Franceville and San Marino ; all
smaller than Andorra. Truly one-half
of the world knows not the other half.

Ignorance of the Bible.
A college president had this experience -
ence : He met , for the first time , a new
freshman class to start them in their
Bible lessons for the term. As a preliminary -
inary , that he might know something
of their advancement. "I want to
know , " he said , "how many of you
young gentlemen have read the Bible
through ? "
There were perhaps forty young fellows -
lows before him , six of them being sons
of preachers.
Imagine his surprise when it was
found that not one had read the Bible
through. Five had read the New Testament -
ment ; one had reached Proverbs in an
attempt to read it all. Few of them had
gone through the Pentateuch. All were
Ignorant of the Prophets. Not one could
tell so much as the names of the books.
Suppose our college people-why not
our pastors and Sunday school teachers -
ers , also-test their classes ? They might
be surprised ; also learn something ,

A Lighthouse Lesson.
A friend told 'is that he was visiting
a lighthouse lately , and he said to the
keeper : "Are you not afraid to live
here ? It Is a dreadful place to be constantly -
stantly in. "
"No , " replied the man , "I am not
afraid ; we never think of ourselves
here. "
"Never think of yourselves ! How is
that ? "
"We know that we are perfectly safe ,
and only think of having our lamps
brightly burning and keeping the reflectors -
flectors clear , so that those in danger
may be saved. "
That is what Christians ought to do.
They are safe in a house built on a rock
which cannot be moved by the wildest
storm ; and , in a spirit of holy unselfishness -
ness , they should let their light gleam
across the dark waters of sin , that they
who are imperiled may be guided into
the harbors of eternal safety.-The
Quiver.
Qalck Nit.
The jester attached to the court of
Peter the Great of Russia was remarkable -
able for his inOenuity in extricating
himself and others from trouble. A
cousin of his , on one occasion , had
fallen under the czar's displeasure and
was about to be executed. The jester
presented hhnself at court to petition
for a reprieve. On seeing him enter the
chamber of state , and divining his errand -
rand , the monarch shouted to him :
"It's of no use coming here ; I swear
that I will not grant you what you are
going to ask. "
Quick as thought the fool dropped on
his knees , and exclaimed : "I beseech
your imperial highness to put that
scamp of a cousin of mine to death. "
Peter , thus caught in his own trap ,
had no choice but to laugh and send a
pardon to the offender.
An Answer to Prayer.
One day a little son of Rev. T. Y.
Gardner of Ohio was playing with some
other little boys who had a cart. They
wanted a dog to draw the cart He
said , "Papa says we must pray for what
we want. " He kneeled down and said ,
" 0 Lord , send us a dog to draw our
cart. "
Pretty soon a big one came along that
frightened them , and they began to cry.
A second time he kneeled , saying , " 0
Lord , we don't want a bulldog. "
Many a grown person would be disagreeably -
agreeably surprised to see some of their
prayers answered.
Cheap MIrros.
A new application of cellulose has
been found in the manufacture of unbreakable -
breakable mirrors. Cotton stuffs ,
treated with nitric acid and camphor ,
give splendid smooth surfaces , which
can be easily silvered over and then
covered with a very thin layer of transparent -
sparent cellulose. It is said that excellent -
cellent and very durable mirrors are
obtained in this way , and it is promised -
ised that we shall thus soon have cheap
curved mirrors for astronomical instru-
ments. If so , they will be useful in
condensing the rays of the sun , and
in serving 'many other purposes.
A Source of Revenue.
Stamp collection has become such a
universal mania now that it is reported
on good authorities that many of the
smaller countries constantly change
their stamps and make new issues , in
order to derive a handsome income from
stamp collectors. Every new issue is in
immediate demand , and the government -
ment sells thousands of dollars' wo1'th
at once. Many of the South American
republics are said to derive handsome
incomes from this source. .
A Slight Misapprehension.
Some people seem to be rather unfamiliar -
familiar with the Bible , as the following -
ing anecdote goes to prove :
The teacher of a grammar school was
hearing a class in that study. She read
the sentence , "The wicked flee when no
man pursueth , " and sent a boy to the
blackboard to diagram it He looked at
her in an uncomprehending way , and
then wrote , "The wicked flea' Will no
man pursue it ! "

As Grandma was getting Teddy ready
for church she told him he must be able
to tell her the text after he came home.
The minister , preached from , "Quit you
like men , be strong. "
After reaching home his grandmother
said , "Well , Teddy , you can't remember
the test. "
"Oh , yes , I can , grandma , " replied
Teddy , "it was 'Quit your fooling and I
be men. ' "
Champagne-Its Use.
A prominent clergyman of the Presbyterian -
byterian church , while attending a reception -
ception at the home of a wealthy merchant -
chant , was asked if he would take cham
pagne.
Turning a grieved face upon his host
he replied , "It has been said , 'give I
champagne to your real friends and real
pain to your sham friends ; but I confess -
fess it' gives me real pain to be offered
champagne in , the house of a real
friend. "

TRUTHS OF REPUCLICAN
DOCTRINES.
The Ruin and Disaster Wrought by
Clevelanu and HIS Congress-Like'
Direct Legislation for England-Some
Plain Figures , ,
Toward the close of last year statements -
ments were published by free trade papers -
pers showing how great an improvement -
ment there was in our exports of manufactured -
ufactured goods , the inference being
that we were reaching the markets of
the world under the reform tariff. This
was a half truth infinitely more dangerous -
ous than a naked lie. Total values
were not given in support of the statement -
ment ; only percentages of values , and
as there hail been such an enormous
shrinkage in the export value of our
agricultural products , naturally enough
there was a gain in the percentage of
our exports of manufactured goods.
This free trade argument can best be
exposed by taking our exports of Amer-
lean manufactures during January
and February of this and last year ,
showing their actual values , as also
the percentages of these values to our
total exports in each month. Thus :
Exports of Manufactures.
Values- Per ct of total.
Jan. Feb. Jan. Feb.
1894.$14,313,285 $12,283,168 16.97 19.31
1895. . 14,100,978 12,221,895 17.55 22.13
Loss $212,307 $61,273 * 0.58 * 2.82
* Galn.
It is clearly seen that there has been
a slight decline in the value of our exports -
ports of manufactures during each of
the two months of the present year ,
but the percentages are larger because
our exports of agricultural and forestry
products were of so much less value
this year , thus making the proportion
or percentage of our manufactured exports -
ports appear larger while the values
were really less. This was a very
smooth trick and it has been worked
for all it was worth. But the foregoing
are the bald facts , and instead of our
exports of manufactures "creeping
steadily" down , even though the wall
of protection has been blasted out of
sight.
The detailed statement of our exports
of domestic merchandise during February -
ruary enables one to see in what lines
our people are reaching out into the
markets of the world. During February -
ary our manufacturers of agricultural
implements sold $82,000 worth less of
their goods to foreign countries than
in February , 1894. Our sales of bricks
fell off by $6,265 ; of candles we sold $7-
000 less ; of carriages , street cars and
their parts , $24,700 less ; of copper and
its manufactures , $480,000 less ; of cotton -
ton cloths , $272,000 less ; of fish , $91,700
less ; of flax manufactures , $26,000 less ;
of furs and skins , $137,000 less ; of
hides , $130,000 less ; of hay , $43,400 less ;
of hardware , $15,400 less ; of nails and
spikes , $10,000 less ; of oil cake and
meal , $250,000 less ; of animal oils , $13-
000 less ; of oleomargarine , $280,000 less ;
of butter , $189,500 less ; of cheese , $54.-
000 less ; of seeds , $273,000 less ; of soap ,
$52,000 less ; of distilled spirits , $368-
000 less ; of starch , $12,000 less ; of refined -
fined sugar , $27,000 less ; of tobacco leaf ,
$118,000 less ; of manufactured tobacco ,
$75,000 less ; of vegetables , $43,000 less ;
of timber , $74,000 less , and of lumber ,
$235,000 less. These show some of the
smaller values of American products
and manufactures in one month's sales
to other countries when the markets
of the world were wide open to us.
This is how we are "letting ourselves
out" ,
Free Trade in Louisiana.
A Louisiana correspondent tells us
that "some remarkably fine chickens
have come home to roost this year. "
The free trade policy is now bearing
fruit of the heaviest kind in Louisiana.
Wages have been cut down from 30 to
40 per cent ; sugar has sold at prices
below the cost of production. No money -
ey can be obtained for the expenses incidental -
cidental to the cultivation of the next
crop. Sheriffs and marshals have been
busy selling out plantations at unheard
of prices. .
A few cases in point are the Rosehill
plantation of 1,200 acres. with a central -
tral factory which was erected during
the last bounty year at a cost of over
$100,000 for the new machinery alone ,
the whole property , including factory ,
mules and tools , being disposed of at
a forced sale for $15,000. Another
plantation , the Marshfield , of two thousand -
sand acres , with its large crop , with
mules , tools , sugar house , dwellings , la-
borers' houses and numerous other
buildings , were all sacrificed on the
altar of free trade for the sum of $5,500.
At recent sales by the United States
Marshal in Ne'v Orleans 108 farms and
plantations have been sold , most of
them improved homes , at prices ranging -
ing from $30 to $2 per acre , several 40-
acre farms being sold for $25.
Each day adds to the long record of
ruin , and very many are now feeling
the effect of what they themselves have °
helped to bring about. Surely this terrible -
rible state of affairs will arouse the
people of Louisiana to shake off those
fetters that have bound them to the
i
party of free trade , which is directly i
responsible for all their woes.

Letting the Other Fellows In.
During February , on the other hand , 1
our imports of foreign goods were
much larger in almost every line of
trade , notably so of barley , brushes ,
buttons , potash , clocks and watches ,
raw cotton , cotton manufactures , earth-
m and china ware , eggs (467,000 dozen e
more in a month ) , glass and glass ware , c
hay , hides and skins , hops , leather and s
its manufactures , paper , meat products , f
cheese , rice , seeds , silk manufactures ,
bags and bagging , tin and wool and its c
manufactures. The gain In the latter , I :

During the two months of January
and February we have bought nearly
$8,500,000 worth more of foreign woolen
goods than in the corresponding months
a year earlier. The importance of the
lower tariff on woolens will be best apprecIated -
precIated , or otherwise , by those who
gain their livelihood working in the
woolen mills when they understand
that we bought over 160,000 square
yards more of carpets in two months
and must consequently make that much
less. We also bought , In two months ,
5,800,000 pounds more woolen cloths ,
besides the larger quantities of readymade -
made clothing , dress and knit goods.
These larger quantities will be sold In
our markets , and every yard of them
will supplant a yard made in an American -
ican mill by an American laborer. The
competition in the woolen trade is both
enormous and unnatural. The result
must be as disastrous as the tariff reformers -
formers intended it should be , It is
the outsome of breaking down our wall
of protection and giving the other fellows -
lows a chance to get in. ,
Tariff Reform's Great Yield.
It has yielded a 16 per cent increase
in the importation of foreign goods ,
made by foreign labor , and displacing
a like amount of American labor.
It has yielded a nearly 10 per cent
decrease in the exports of American
products and merchandise , thus cutting
off so much more work and wages for
Americans.
It has yielded a great flood of foreign
grown wools , and destroyed the sheep
raising industry on American farms
and ranches. Incidentally it has helped
to yield a shorter supply of sheep for
slaughter and assisted the Chicago
meat ring to put up the price of mut-
ton.
ton.It
It has yielded more foreign imports
by a hundred million dollars' worth
and yet it has yielded a decrease of 10
per cent in the amount of importations
free of duty. McKinley's act even had
a more liberal free list.
It has yielded more taxation and revenue -
enue on imported foods , necessaries of
life-such as sugar , tea , coffee , fruits ,
rice , fish , vegetables and provisions
generally-than the old 1890 tariff by
about two dollars to one.-N. Y. Recorder -
corder , April 15 , 1895.
Timc Increase in Wages.
It is amusing to observe how lustily
the free traders crow over the few increases -
creases in wages which have taken
place since the "tariff reform" congress -
gress adjourned.
Wages are going up in spite of the
tariff. After the election of last November -
vember the country began to take hope.
It saw the beginning of the end of
Democratic rule. Still there was no
visible improvement in wages-no upward -
ward movement in wages. It required
the result of the spring elections to
confrrnt the people in the belief that
the reaction had come to stay. There
are few who do not now believe that
the Republican party will be fully returned -
turned to power next year. There i ,
hope for the future , and advances in
wages are the fruits of that hope. The
real turning point in the great depres-
tion was the final adjournment or the
congress that passed the Wilson tar-
iff. The Democratic party had done its
worst and had been repudiated by the
country. The nation has returned to
its senses and business is once more on
the up grade. From this time on we
may look for gradual advances in
wages , and as they come they will be
hailed with gladness and satisfaction.
It will take some time before they are
restored to the high water mark of
1892.-Pittsburgh , Pa. , Commercial
Gazette , April 9 , 1895.
It Is Good Srnse.
English newspapers are urging the
farmers of that country to practice intensive -
tensive farming to lessen the importations -
tions of cereals and meats from America -
ica and Australia. It is a sensible policy -
icy and shows what practical business
sense will do for any country. It is
the fundamental principle advocated by
the Republican party for the development -
ment of the home intere : tr of the people -
ple of the United States. It is wholly
a mistaken idea that the Republican
party is committed to a policy having
special interests. Thorough protection -
tion will care for every general interest -
est of the country.-Burlington , Ia.
Hawk-Eye , April 3 , 1895.
The Democratic I'oliey.
The policy of the administration at
home has been one of distrust and dis-
ppointment. It has diminished the
revenues of the government and decreased -
creased the occupations of the people.
TJuder the pretext of reducing the tar-
if that it might reduce the cost of living -

ARGENTINA GAINING GROUND ,
L'caccfnl Negotiations With Brazil and
Chile.
Washington , May 24.-rears of trouble -
ble between Chile and the Argentine
Republic over the boundary line appear
to be overcome by the annual message
of President Uribari of Argentina ,
which has just been received here. It
was sent to the congress , which met
Nay 2 , and speaks of the satisfactory
progress of negotiations with Chile.
The president also refers to the settlement -
ment of the trouble vlth Brazil over
the missions territory through the arbitration -
bitration of President Cleveland , and
says that the arrangement promises to
bring about a renewal of the strong alliance -
liance formerly existing with Brazil.
President Unbar ! reports that in the
midst of the world's depression Argen-
tina's revenues largely increased last

$102,000,000 or $9,000,000 in excess of the
imports , showing that the balance of
trade remains on the side of Argen-

MORTON DOESN'T LIKE IT.
Objects to Having His Meat Inspection
Methods Criticised.
Washington , May 24.-Secretary of
Agriculture Morton _ and Dr. Salmon ,
chief of the bureau f animal industry ,
are very much exercised over the attack - '
tack made upon the effectlvene is of the
meat inspection now carried on under
the act of 1890. The inspection provided
for under the act was to meet the demands -
mands of foreign governments to which
American meat was exported , but the
authority given the secretary was insufficient -
sufficient and Mr. Morton has tried in
every way to induce congress to cure
the defects. While the inspection separated -
rated the healthy from the diseased
meat and prevented the export of the
latter , the secretary was not clothed
with the power to compel the destruction -
tion of condemned meat , and this could
be sold in the domestic markets.
