WmM S school I went to in the far West , out
V * on the edge of the woods , and a couple
K f of miles from the village a long
B 5 stretch for short legs , and too long a
fk , walk for the teacher. Miss Mills , who

M --J donkey King Edward. Most donkeys
W w\ \ , , -are called Neddie , you know , and Miss :
LW | \ , Mills' pet had a finer name , you see ,
M J \ j and he wouldn't answer to any other.
f ' . \ He nad the- loudest bray and the long-
HH < . / tst ears of any donkey that ever lived.
H \ , Lucky that for us. as it turned out
B x\ It was a queer school room you would
B Y fiay. The desks were slabs at angles ,
j | ' and the boys had all cut their names
H B-f ° Q them In one corner there was a
ISK 7 shallow box full of fine white sand. The
| jlU little ones began to write by making
l\l H the letters in the sand witn skewers.
Bl When the lesson was over Miss Mill : :
*
IjH it smoothed the sand with a rolling pin ,
HI Tk and there it was again. I learned to
H B f ' write that way ; slate came next , paper

H Ry * Miss Mills did the best she could with

B C \ Tne next moment the girls were shriek-

1 f \ x It was a cold winter and the bears

Bffir • dangerous beast , and we all know it
i
W * / This was a gaunt , wide-mouthed , red-
B \ \ . eyed critter , and he glared at us furi-
ously.
E \
Rv 4 None of us dared to run for the win-
W f 1 dews , for they were on the same side
E \ \ as the door , not very big either. Miss
Bj | I Mills couldn't have got through one of
Bj J { them. The bear was doing very queer
I F\\ things , moving his head round and
Ww If .round , but never taking his eyes off of
W3 V . .Qet behind the stove and and say

nB j truly the bear , whose appetite had only
( m ) \ teen whetted by Miss Mills' lunch , was
V # ' < oow rising on Uis hind legs with his
Bfi \ torepaws lifted and his paws open ,
MM I j -showing all his sharp nails. He had
BA his eye on little Pannie Sandfor < 3 , the
B fcbr e ! the schaol , but Miss Mills put
her behind her and stood fiat against
the wall , trying to protect us.
"God help you children , " said she
"Good-bye. "
The bear growled again and took a
step towards us , and at that moment
in at the open window tame the queer
est thing King Edward's head , hia
long ears thrust through the holes In
the sunbonnet , the ribbons tied in a
bow under his chin , his mouth opened ,
staring at the bear through his white
eyelashes and braying as he had never
brayed before. The white cape of the
sunbonnet flapped and rustled , the roar
of his voice filled the room , and that
bear ! Well , children , anything an ani
mal has never seen before is sure to
scare it , and such a sight as Ned was
at that minute , nothing to be seen of
him but his head , and such a voice as
the Lord gave him for that occasion ,
no bear surely ever heard before. There
have been folks that have said I exag
gerated this story , but I'm giving you
facts , children , when I tell you that
when King Edward brayed that bear
dropped down on his forelegs , turned
tail and waddled out of the door as fast
as his feet could carry him , and off to
the woods. King Edward , in his sun
bonnet , kicking up his heels and bray
ing over the fence at him all the way.
As for Miss Mills , as soon as she
could get hr breath again she made
us all go down on our knees and say
our prayers , and then gave us a half
holiday and got the nearest farmer to
take us all home in his great wagon.
Little Fannie told her mother that
an angel with white wings looked into
the window and told the bear to go
home , and we couldn't laugh at her ,
for if that donkey wasn't an angel he
had been one to us , and after that we
were all fonder of him than ever.
'Raising Chickens by the Incubator.
"I wonder if neighbor K. is baking
eggs this year , as he did last , " said one
man to another as they met on the
public highway one afternoon. "I
suppose you know about his incubator
experieuce. Ke invested in one that
held about six hundred eggs , filled the
trays with what he confidently hoped
would prove to be broilers and roasters
of the most delicious description. Af
ter wat. 'hing the ih-jrnnnieter with the
utmost care for five or six days , he got
a little tired of it , as he seems to tire
of everything , and , consoling himself
with the reflection that the incubator
would probably get along all right , he
went out driving and stayed away.for
several hours. When he returned the
heat had run up to a cooking point ,
rnd most of the poor little possibilities
were beautifully -cooked and done.
And the most astonishing part of the
entire performance was that he treat
ed the accident more like a huge joke
than anything else. Three times last
spring he filled that incubator , and
each time the heat ran up until al
most all of the eggs were spoiled. Out
of eighteen hundred eggs there were
less than one hundred chickens that
grew to broiler age. It is just such
management as this that gives so
many small industries a bad reputa
tion. To succeed requires vigilance
and care. "
Porcine Curiosity.
The ugly animal , the wart hog , is a
rare curiosity in this part of the world ,
but in East Africa and Somaliland ,
where his foot is on its native heath ,
he is thought as worthy an object of
the chase as is the good gray boar of
India.
Those who have hunted him with
the spear say he gives as good a run ,
answers to the spear with a charge
as reckless and fights as gamely when
brought to bay as his relative , the
boar. Unlike other members of the
pig family , the female is endowed with
tusks as formidable as those of her
mate.

triumph in ugliness. His head sur
prisingly resembles that of the hippo

Pet or the Great In Trance.
When Peter the Great visited France.
Louis XIV. , then a mere lad , sent a
gorgeous coach and six to meet the
Russian Czar at Calais. For some rea
son or other , Peter got tired of this
method of traveling. At the first inn
at which he stopped and Peter was
just the man to stop at the first Inn he
came to he spied the body of an old
carriage lying like so much lumber In
the court-yard. He there and then
ordered ihis to be slung from a pole ,
each end of which was carried by a ser
vant on horseback , and in this palan
quin he was conveyed throughout the
rest of his journey , much to his own
gratification and the amusement of the
spectators who crowded at various
points to see this remarkable man. , |
AS TO THE COST OP IT.
FORTY BILLIONS OF BUSINESS
LOST UNDER DEMOCRACY.
Transfer of Prosperity to London
Shrinkage In American Volume of
Uuslnens The "Deadly * might' ' of
Tree Trade.
Well may the people of the United
States thank God that we have at
length seen the end of the Democratic
experiment with free-trade , or "tariff
reform , " as the Mugwumps called it.
For two years and eleven months , less
four days , the "deadly blight" of indus
trial stagnation for which Grover
Cleveland was immediately and directly
responsible has been forced upon us.
For nearly two years prior to the en
actment of the law of "perfidy and dis
honor" its baneful effects were felt.
Since the close of 1892 , when it was
known that a Democratic congress and
a Democratic president had been elec
ted , and that their threat of free-trade
would be put into execution , the indus
trial enterpripes of the United States
have been paralyzed with fear. The
banks foresaw the impending danger to
American manufacturers through the
contemplated influx of cheap foreign
goods and , " foreseeing the danger , the
banks promptly locked up their capital
so that the e ils'of the free-trade policy
were felt long before the free-trade
tariff law wan placed upon our statutes.
And the evil did not end last week
with the substitution of the Dingley
tariff for protection in place of the law
of "perfidy and dishonor" of the Demo
cratic party. Anticipating the most na
tural idea of protection for American
interests , the foreign manufacturing
and producing interests have _ taken
every advantage of the miserable "rag
bag production" that emanated from
the Democratic party , and have flooded
our markets with foreign goods that ,
in some instances , cannot be consumed
within a twelvemonth. Thus the "dead
ly blight" of Democratic "perfidy and
dishonor" has spread its work of ruin
and wreckage over a period of almost
five years , blasting the hopes of our
people , ruining thousands , bringing
idleness , hunger and starvation in its
trail , compelling the natural accom
paniments of free-trade such as free
soup , free bread and free clothing.
Meanwhile , the American people have
suffered and waited.
Of their sufferings history can never
tell. But their patience has been bright
ened by the more recent knowledge
that a Republican congress would bring
relief as speedily as the Democratic and
Popocratic obstructionists in the United
States senate would permit. That relief
"
lief has come , partially only for the
present , but it will be permanent and
profitable , we hope , as soon as the last
remnants of the rags and shoddy prod
ucts of cheap European labor have dis
appeared from our markets. And what
has been the cost of this experiment
with free-trade , of the practical work
ings of the Democratic doctrine of free
raw material ? Its actual cost , in dollars
lars and cents , no man caa ever esti
mate , but we can show how the busi
ness of the city of New York was trans
ferred to London , as follows :

In the year 1892 , when the United
States was at the height of its pros
perity under the McKinley policy of
protection , the volume of business tran
sacted in the city of New York , as rep
resented by the bank clearings of our
commercial metropolis , aggregated
nearly thirty-seven billions of dollars.
But the "deadly blight" of free-trade
threw its destructive blast upon us and
the business of New York city de
creased by more than five billions of
dollars during the first year of the
Democratic administration. In the next
year , 1894 , it decreased by almost seven
billions of dollars more , making a
total loss of business , in the one city ,
exceeding over twelve billions of dollars
lars within two short years. In 1895 j
and in 189G there was some slight im
provement , yet the volume of business
transacted In New York last year , un
der fr6e-trade , was almost eight billions
less than in 1892 under protection.
But study the effect of our Demo
cratic fiscal policy upon the London
market , upon British trade and upon
English enterprise. With practically
no change in 1892 and 1893 , followed by
a decline in 1894 when our business was
paralyzed and millions of our people
were idle , the business of London grew
to nearly thirty-seven billions of dollars
lars in 1895 and in 1896 , its volume
then equaling the extent of our business
in 1892 when we had protection. In
other words , there was a complete
transfer of prosperity from the United
States to the United Kingdom under
the Democratic policy of free-trade.
Following are the entire bank clear
ings of the United States , both at New
York and outside of New York , from
1892 to 1896 , inclusive :

1S97 (4 months ) 7,258,09C,9S4 9,271.331.814
Comparing the figures for 1894 with
those of 1892 we find that the amount
of business transacted in the United
States , as represented by our bank
clearings , declined at the rate of fifteen
and a half billions of dollars a year
within two years under the Democratic
administration. In the year 1896 our
loss of business had been almost eleven
billions as compared with 1892. In 1895
the loss was almost nine billions. In
1893 it was more than seven billions.
So that since the Republican adminis
tration of the United States , under
President Harrison , and during the
Democratic administration of the coun
try under President Cleveland , there
has been a total loss of business , as
compared with 1892 , aggregating the
enormous sum of forty-two billions of
dollars in the four Democratic years !
I It is impossible to realize the full

meaning of this stupendous loss. But
we are determined to face the evil
bravely , to buckle to our strength for
a fight for the restoration of prosperity
under the Dingley tariff for protection
that was signed by President McKin
ley on Saturday , July 24 , 1897. This
will remain in American history as the
date of the dawn of a new and bright
industrial era ir , the United States.

A Wool Grower's Loss.
I wish to state the actual facts of
what free wool did for me , and it is
fair to assume that it did the same
for every farmer in Oregon who raised
sheep.
In April , 1897 , I arranged with Dr.
Elgen , living in this state and countj- ,
who is agent for the great American
tailoring house of ew York city , for
two woolen suits for two boys thirteen
years old , each suit costing me $8.50
C3sh in advance , which was the price
of fifty-nine pounds of wool at 11
cents per pound. This was the price
I received for my wool in 1S96.
In June , 1890 , I bought a suit of
woolen clothes for a boy thirteen years
of age , paying $6.50 in cash for the
suit in Rosebury , Douglass county.
This cost me the price of only twenty-
six pounds of wool , for I got 25 cents
per pound for my wool in 1890. There
was a difference of thirty-three pounds
of v * * i < to me in the cost of one suit of
Loy's clones.
That is what free wool did for me ,
and for every farmer that raises woolen
on this coast. And lurthermore , the
suit I bought in 1890 was at least ten
per cent better goods in all respects
in material and in the make. Now
somebody got this 33 pounds of wool. I
know that I did not

Quick Tariff Work.
The quick work done by congress on
the Dingley tariff Is hardly appre
ciated as it should be. Congress was
called together in extraordinary ses
sion on March 15. In fourth months
and nine days the bill had passed both
the United States senate and the house
of representatives , was acted upon in
conference , finally passed by the sen
ate , and was signed by the President
This covered a period of 131 days. In
1890 the McKinley tariff bill , reported
on April 16 , passed the house on May
21 , but was delayed in the senate till
September , and again still further de
layed In conference , not being signed
by the President till October 1 , 1890.
It was in all 168 days before congress.
When the Democratic party was in
ccntrol the Mills bill dragged along in
1888 and 1889 for nearly 300 days , and
then failed to pass. The Gorman-Wil
son bill was reported to the house by
the ways and means committee on De
cember 19 , 1893 , and reported to the
stnate on February 20 , 1894. It did
not become law till August 28 , 1894 ,
and was then such a "ragbag produc
tion" of "perfidy and dishonor , " that
even the Democratic President refused
to sign it.
The difference between the Repub
licans and Democrats in enacting tarlfl
legislation in congress is very marked.
The Republicans passed the McKinley
bill in 168 days , and the Dingle7 bill
in 131 days , each bill receiving the signature -
nature of the Republican President.
The Democrats , on the other hand ,
wasted some 300 days over the Mills
bill , which never became a law , and
they wasted * os days over the Gorman-
Wilson bill , which proved to be such
an abortion that even President Cleve
land refused to sign it
Not a. Sectional Tariff.
That the new tariff is not perfect its
authors admit. But it will produce
adequate revenue and protect our in
dustries under normal conditions.
Among its chief glories and one
which was acknowledged even by
some oi cuose rrno did not favor it , and
who doubt that it will meet the ex
pectations of its friends is that it is
not a sectional bill. It protects the people
ple in all parts of the country , and tc
the producers of materials which * enter
into the manufacture it gives protec
tion , aa well as to the producers of the
finished product. It is a matter of re
gret among leading protectionists in.
'congress that the conference commit
tee struck off the duty on raw cotton.
That duty would have been an import
ant entering wedge in the old free-
trade sections of the south , and it
would _ ave proved most beneficial to
the southern people. But it should be
remembered by those southern men
who voted for and urged the adoption
of the raw cotton duty , that the prin
ciple of protection is not sectional , and
the southern man who votes for pro
tection on cotton or sugar , rice or lum
ber aiding to put such protective
duties into a tariff bill and then votes
against the whole bill , thereby deny
ing to other industries in the north and
south the measure of protection which
he proposed for the products of the
south , is entitled to little considera
tion at the hands of protectionists who
arc honestly striving to give protection
to all the industries of the country.
Return of Prosperity ,
Like sunrise , prosperity cannot be
expected to reach all parts of the con
tinent at once , though its occurrence
in one quarter may be considered as
fair evidence that it will not be long
in reaching all. Syracuse , N. Y. ,
Post , June 26 , 1897.
The check to the immediate and uni
versal return of prosperity consists in
the enormous stocks of foreign good3
that are now in our markets , all of
which must be consumed before there
can be an active demand for American
goods made by American labor.
Against the Sugar Trusts.
Nothing that the Republican party
can gain by the passage of the bill is
to be compared to what it will lose if
it gets the credit of having bowed to
the wishes of the sugar trust. Stand
ard , New Bedford , Mass.
But it has not done so. It has re
duced the amount of protection to the
sugar trust from 0.281 cents under the
Wilson bill down to 0.139 cents under
the Dingley bill , a reduction of 50 per
cent
Thanks 3IV. Dlnjjley.
"e Hon. Nelson
/gggzSBr Dingley , Jr. , of
Maine , deserves the
S thanks of every
American citizen
for his continuous
f and untiring ef
forts , during the
last seven months ,
to substitute the
American policy of
Protection on our
statutes in place of
the policy of "perfidy and dishonor" of
the Free-Traders. Blaine , Reed , Ding
ley are all Maine products of whom
we can well feel proud. Mr. Dingley
has earned his summer vacation. May
he enjoy it.
The recent publication
by that re
liable and conservative paper , the New
York Journal of Commerce , shows that
the present silver coinage of the world
to be $4,053,000,000 , of which amount
$3,433,000,000 is full legal tender. Of
thi3 enormous total , no less than $2 , -
498,000,000 has been coined since 1873.
and of this increase all but 15 per cent
is full legal tender. It thus appears
that the silver money of the world has
more than doubled since the "crime , "
and that 85 per cent of the enormous in
crease in silver coinage since that time

the refusal was that the sentry had H

been ordered to admit no carriage to |
