' llave you been at Grandpa's since I

"'''hey are all well," ho said, an-1
swering the thought which he know
was in her mind, "but something has
happened, I'olly, of course, or I
would not have interfered with your
purchase."
"()h! tell me, tell me," said the
girl in an agitated voice. "Why do
' you keep me in suspense?"
? "What a blunderer 1 am," thought
her companion. "If 1 tell, her out

"That hill' means a oood deal more

Paul Mcllwaine, impatiently; "it

Iio stopped, and Polly said quickly,
feeling the tin^o of contempt in
his tone: "Never mind about me, but
I see how bad it will be; poor Grandpa!
Mr. Me.Ilwaino does must
will anybody else lose by Grandpa's]
failure?"
"it is too soon to say positively,''.
ho replied,."but 1 think not. i think
lie has quit business in time to leave
his creclitois any appreciable loss."
Polly's head was up now, and her
i?, ""eyes shining. "Dear old Grandpa,''
she said, "bless his heart; i am ashamB
ed that 1 asked the question; 1 might:
V have known. But, ohl I'm so muol.

I haoK von, she said, simply; r

"Bless me!" said the voiiiix lawyer,
as lie walked oiT. "hut the <_^iil
has pluck! It was very pretty. ifnd
entirely womanly, too, the way she
thought of others, her grandfather
and t he creditors. I didn't think lit-,
tie I 'oily had it in her.''
If he had seen little Polly at this
minute, he mij/ht not have thought
she had so much in her; she hud slip|?e
1 noiselessly into the jrreat liandsome
front parlor and dropped down
on one of the low cushioned divans,
"all in a heap," as the jnrls say. Kor
two whole hours she kept herself hid
in the parlor, nobody knowing she
was in the house, and in that lone",
silent time, when she heard only the
tinkhno little hronzt: < !?*<*k. and I it
own irregular hreatliine", something
happened to Polly, almost like what
happens to the moth when if comes

outside Polly!
When she went to find her mother
and trrnndfather, it was with a brio-lit
face and steady voice.
A few days after this, Pol I y brought
up a dainty litt'e breakfast to her
mother, wlio vat unit ? ovreome by
their disaster, as yv.,s the po??r old
grandfather.
"Uonio, inithor,1' Polly said blithely,
ktl made lh< -?? biscuit, ami vqjib'
rot to eat tyvo. What a mood lliino
it yvas that you had that hobby about
teachino1 me to dfl things; don't it lit |

answered the mother, in a depressed
lone; l-l promised him yvhen you
yyere a yvec baby in lono clothes that
1 would have you tanoht to do every!
thiuo that yvomen can do, and of
.
course, after his death, I felt (lie more I
i.,. i ; u.o i i... I
why you should make so much of it
now; yon can't support yourself by
ma kino biscuits."
"I don't know," said Polly, carwIcssslv;
"1 don't know,'* she repented
more earnestly, sprin?rin?r up and}
walking about the room as if her
mind were not following her footStops.
In a few weeks the 1 'utherfonU!
had moved into a small down-town I
house, with nil the available rooms
"let," and poor old Mr. Rutherford j
was trying to discharge the duties of
a smalI salaried otliee into which his
friends had put liirn.
Polly's mother seemed quite crushed
at first, but the oirl herself was
1 n
buoyant with hope, as every ;drl has
a right to be, no matter what her
style of living is or is not.
Thanks to .Mr. Mcllwaine, she iiad I
her hundred dollars now to invest, in
an enterpeise on which she had set
her heart far more than it had ever
been set on the pearls. And along
with the hundred dollars she had also
to invest in it youth, health, good
sense, a brave spirit, and a proud independence.
What else needed she
for a nappy and successful life'/
Her enterprise be trail with a visit,
I
basket in hand, to seven or eight of
the best city hotels, and as many of
the restaurants; to all of them she offered
a daily, weekly, or tri-weekly
supply* of her dainty little beaten bis
cuit, such as she had learned to make
down iu eastern ? . . >a, from a famous
old cook, who had in slave <lavs
belonged to her fath -r's family. Sim
was successful almost up to her own
expectations, and far beyond her
mother's, and her elation could not
but infuse some hope into that lady's
weak spirit.
"We must have a now name for
your biscut, miss,'' said one wise old
restaurant keeper: "what shall wo
call them?" *
"Call them," said Polly, hesitating I
uind laughing, "call them tho Polly- I

throiicrii tin* mists which the suhsi-|
di/.ed organs of Protection have raised
up before the eyes of the fanners.'
The truth that the present war tariff
is robbinjr the people to enrich the
pampered inannf.neturers i- becoming'
more and more oenerallv received
and believed. The falsity of the
claim that the tariff is for the protee- i
tion of the laboring classes has been
so often and so clearly shown that it;
is now useless to appeal to free la
borers to Maud op for any political
party that bases it hopes of victory
t !w- ...I..,......... ,.r' O... O ' ,
iff. The working man living in a
hovel and burdened with debt can
not be aroused to auv ^reit enthusiasm
over a tariff that keeps him
where lis is. but enables his employ*
er t? live in a mansion and clip eon-j
pons from sheets of oilt-ed?red securities.
The farmer now sees that
there is not much protection for him
in a tariff that ret pi ires him to pay!
fifty per cent above the value of articles
of (lav household consumption,
in order that certain manufacturer*
may make bi^ profits.
A convention ?>f the farmers of the
Northwest has recently been held at
Minneapolis. Delegates were present
from six States. A resolution '
was umiiiimousW adopted, demanding
unci) revision of lite existing tariff
as would Lfivc the country, aun>n</ (
other things, "ehean salt." Tito du'
1
tv now placed oil foreign ?:i11 i> <Sd
per < *nt. The onoriiioiis tax han
stimulated the manufacture of salt in
the i nitad States, ami as a result of
tin; competition amon<r tiio tin- various
factories the price has been reduced.
This ha* been of real benefit
to the unprotected people; but the
protected manufacturers have become
n!armc;d, ami have organized a
' Trust11 for the still further protection
of their "infant industry,'1 At the
tim* of the organization of this Trust,
which in reality is a pool of the leading
manufacturers of salt. The \>
nn<i < showed that, it was one
of the legitimate results of a protective
tai'ilf. its avowed object is to'
control the production of salt, and to
regulate it* price. There is no reason
to expect that the price of this
household necessity will be further
reduced. The Lfreat reduction already
obtained, as the re.-, dt of home
competition, shows, however, what
we could expect if the present hi#h
rate of duty were removed and tin*
coin|>etitioii was extended to the
world.
The farmers of the Xor'hwext rw
ali/o their situation and have spoken 1
out plainly, demanding a revision of 1
the present robber tariff. It. is cheap,
every day necessities that the people
want, and not free whiskey and to
banco. The sooner ('onimissmen reco#hi/.e
this fact the better it will be
for the oou..?ry. The people want
cheap salt, for one thin#, and the
way for(theui to #et it is for Congivss

to .Macon and his personal relations

an estrangement between these two

may run in the streets of her priucicipill
cities, and < icoreia, an I perhaps
no other State, would be involved
except so far as it voluntarily operated
to the protection of New York.
"It is my conviction, therefore, as
it has always been, that, when the solution
of the problem of human government
is found it will be found in
a lodgment of local sovereignties in
local commonwealths. It was the t ri umph
of this principle of which I
spoke in mv address. It was for this
principle that Mr. I >avis fought, and
against this principle that Mr. Iancoin
fought. Mr. Davis represented
State sovcri_pity, Mr. Lincoln stood
for a centralized nation. When mv

discussion is not local to Ainericn. It
is as wide as human civilization and

land as it has heen fought in America
for more than a century."
"You insisted in your speech that
the South did not light to protect
slavery."
1 did, and t!ii.? is concurrent with
what 1 have just said. It was for
the principle of State sovereignty
that the South fought. She imperiled
slavery when she began the war.
She could easily have perpetuated
slavery if she hud been willing to
sacrifice the principle of State sovereignty.
She put both to the gungo
of battle, knowing perfectly, wh.itnv.
er tho issi < r tho war may liavo
I>coii, slavery would have suffered.
Suppose we hud conquered. We
would have siplv moved the Canada
line to tho borders of the Southern
Confederacy, and would have changed
the line of lakes to the ()hio Kiver.

a oovei omental principle, the wisdom
of which t\ ill he demonstrated in
Knolamh and the lack of which has
mailt times plunoed France into
causeless and irresponsible revolution,
the South deliberately put in
jeopardy an institution involving its
entire labor system and over *100,.

this fact, clear that much of my speech

Lord iMncuif lay'* History.
Macau lav's histdrv is the host ethical
study i'or form.no the. mind and
character of a young man, for it is I
replete with maxims of the highest
practical value. It holds up in every
page to hatred and scorn all the vices
which can stain, and to admiration
and emulation all the virtues which
can adorn a public career. It is impossible
for any one to study that
threat work wi'out sentiments of profound
admiration for the lessons it
inculcates, and those who become
thoroughly iinbu :d with its spirit, no
matter whether they coincide or not
with his opi .u us, will be strengthened
in a profound v iteration for truth
and justice, for public, and private
integrity and honor, and in a jronuine
patrioti in and desire for the freedom,
prosperity and jjdorv of t'ny country.

Prudence.
If 1 may so say, there are two
kinds of prudence, tho little, clever,
timid mousey prudence that heeps
out and draws l>ack, and blesses itself
because it makes no mistakes.
That is not prudence in my view. It
is sh irt-sighted selfishness, which
generally ends in showing its own
shallowness and trickery. There is also
prudence which believes in (*od, that
practices the audacity of faith, that
takes in a wide view, that is telescopic
rather than microscopic; that prudence
that asks to be vindicated by
clear and impartial time. 1 h\ l\irL'(
