THEMIG TIMS " DAY, E 9, 1691, The Progress of Plutocracy. Our Financial System Controlled b; Gamblers and Robbers-The Struggi of the People Against 'Their Oppress ers, Mrro MAwmeo Tnma-You will oblig me by publishing the enclosed article, "Th Progress of Plutocracy." I have read i with interest, and I hope your subscriber will all read it carefully, as I think there i much food for thought in what it teaches. Very truly, J. II. KErExs St. Paul, December 1st, 1891. It is all very well to look on the brigh side, and take an optomistic view of the fu ture, but the situation promises no chang for the better, As The New York World puts it, the mid dIe clas is struggling vainly against its fate Under the piesent system it is doomed t death. The pathetic appeals of the farmer for justice and equity, the protest of th laboring classes against the tyranny of capi tal, and the revolt of every section of the re publicagainst the domination of Wall street show the threatening nature of the oppres sion fastened upon us by plutocratic rule. Heretofore the great middle class has bee the hope and mainstay of our country 'From its ranks have come the men whoe ability, patriotism, and clean methods hav, givea tone to our society and strength t our government. The prosperity of thi class was at one time such a potential facto of our civilization that Charles Dickens, oi his rst visit to the United States, looke< about in vain for beggars and tramps. E found everybody well-fed, well-dressed, an( eoafortably housed. Within the past thirty years a new powe has grown up among us, and for want of i better name it is called a plutocracy. Thi controls our legislation and shape destinies of political parties. It abso lutely owns the government and manipu Waes our financial system in the interest o a-favored few. Slowly but surely the mid die ela is disappearing, and we are ap g 4.the time when our people will b ' into only two classes-the very riel and very poor. The small producer, or tho man who goes into any industry or line 0 ba "ness with limited capital, is pushed t the wall, and forced to beoome a hireling o: -a trampi .

GreenilleN~w HOUSEHOLD NOTES. MEs. S. A. IETTUS. THE LITTLE rOLEs ARE, as a rule, much more deeply interested in Christmas and all that pertains to it than their elders, not only because of the gifts and goodies which they hope Santa Claus will bring them, but also because they have their little presents to make and their mysteri ous secrets to be carefully kept until the happy Christmas morning. For many weeks past the little folks have been veritable little misers, hoarding every penny to swell the contents of the Christmas box; and although the amount of these savings may not seem very large, much can be done with a very little by the exercise of proper t judgment in selecting and industry in making up the various presents. Be low are described a number of pretty Articles suitable for holiday gifts that may readily be constructed by any little girl of average ability. Snivr.-BA.n.-Any shade of tissue paper may be chosen, although light colors always seem most appropriate to the season. Even pure-white pa per, with white ribbon for hanging the ball, produces a very charming effect. Eight sheets of tissue paper and a yard of inch-wide ribbon are D the materials needed: Make a pat tern of thick paper, shaping it by means of a plate or saucer that meas i ures seven inches across. Fold each I sheet of tissue paper so it will make as many circles as possible, lay the pattern in position, and cut the circles. r When all the paper is. cut point or jag the edges neatly. Fold each cir cle twice, thus mking a point at the center; and, taking each folded see tion by the point, draw it thiough the other hand, crushing it into a roll, that will stand up like a little tent when opened at the edge. Thread a needle with strong linen thread, and string all the sections together, run ning the needle though the folded point and through all four thicknesses of each section. When all have been strung in this way, draw them together as tightly as possible, lay the middle of the yard of ribbon across the thread, and tie the two ends of the thread. Shape the paper into a ball, and tie the ends of the ribbon in a pretty bow by which to hang the ball. Sometimes the paper is cut in twelve inch squares and strung in the same way. When arranged thus each piece may be pulled out as needed without disturbing the others. If different colors or shades are used, care should be taken to arrange the lightest at the top, gradually shading to the darkest at the bottom. SPECrAcLE-WVzPs.-A dainty pres ent for grandpapa must first be con sidered, and nothing will please him better than a pair of spectacle-wipers, for they take up little room in his pocket and are always at hand when he wishes to polish his glasses. Cut two perfectly round pieces of fine cha mois-skin each two inches in diame ter. It is advisable to first cut a pat tern from stiff paper so there will be no possibility of wasting the material. Bind the pieces with narrow ribbon in any preferred color, and fasten them together with a small bow of similar ribbon. This gift will involve a very triffing expenditure. 1Lsar PEi-WIPE.-This will make an ornament for papa's desk at the office or in the library. For a pattern, lay a geranium leaf on stiff paper or card board, follow its edges carefully with a sharp pencil, and cut out the leaf with a pair of scissors. Duplicate this pattern as often as desired in black cloth, and string these cloth leaves together, running the thread through the stem part of each. For the outside, cut the same shape from dark brown felt cloth, and fasten all the sections securely together. Add a many-colored bow of baby-ribbon to the stem end, and a very pretty pen-wiper is completed. PPRa WEIG'r.-This will make an appropriate gift for a teacher or older friend. Take twelve inches of ribbon two inches and a-hall wide, fold the edges together, and sew across the end and six inches up the side. Fill the narrow bag thus formed with coarse shot; fold back the ribbon at the top of the bag, tuck the end into the bag at the finish of the side sew ing, and tie the whole tightly with silk thread. This will form a loop of ribbon at the top, making a very pret ty finish. FERYa BAG.-Mamma's old emery bag is almost worn out, so it would be a good idea to make her a new one for Christmas. Cut a two-inch square of chamois, and make a bag of it by firmly sewing the bottom and sides. Cut the top edges in small points, fill the bag two-thirds full with emery powder, and tie it at the top with strong linen thread, concealing the thread with a bright ribbon tied in a bow. SDECour.AED NEEDLE-BooE.-Cut two circular pieces of cardboard and cov er both sides of each with silk, velvet, or any material preferred, neatly sew ing the edges together. On one side embroider a spray of flowers, or orna ment it in any way to suit the fancy. Betwen the covered pieces insert three or four circular pieces of white flannel the size of the cover, and held in position by a bow or rosette of narrow ribbon. A similar rosette is placed at the lower right hand side. BoDxrs HoLDa -This pretty holder may ornament the sewing table or basket. It is made of a section of silk 5x9 inches. The long edges of the sections are joined; and the sec tion is softly filled with cotton to within about two inches of the end where it is closely shirred in and ties about with satin-edged ribbon, which Sis prettily bowed and left long enough to suspend the holder. Five rows of cat stitches decorate the roll and serve tohold the bodkins. A strip of silk isi deeply ravelled and then rolled to form a tassel, which is fastened in each end and finishes the roll prettily. Chamois, cloth, velvet, or any prefer red material may be used instead aof silk. iPHO-OrooaP-FRA2E.-The foundation consists of a front and back section of cardboard cut in heart shape, and out of the front is cut a piece large enough to accommodate the size and style of the photograph. The front is smoothly covered with corded silk, upon which silk dogwood blossoms Sare appliqueed. Figured China silk tor any of the pretty Pompadour silks Imay be used in this way or the blos .1soms may be done in embroidery or watercolors, as preferred. Rtibbons are bowed and tacked to the upper corners and are left long euongh to form suspension ties, which are bowed at the point of snspension. If an easel frame be preferred, a slit may be made in the back and a piece of cardboard pasted to the opening and bent to form a stand. Iroin the Goldslnoo (N. C.) Headlight. ATTESTED One of the nost POPULARITY. honest and reliable houses we have ever dealt with is the Swift's Specific Company, cf Atlanta, Ga., the well known founders and manufacturers of the so very popular blood remedy, S. S. S., which to our personal knowl edge has cured many people through out this section of terrible blood dis eases. Our druggists inform us that in the past six months they have sold more of S. S. S. than any other pre paration for the blood on their shelves. The success achieved by that firm is mainly due to their extensive adver tising and the purity of their medi cine, which does everything claimed for it.

But there is no excuse hereafter for falling ceilin!'s, crumbling walls, broken and defaced decorations.

Any mason can apply it: bursting pipes or leaky roofs will not effect it. It's the best known fire resisting material in the world, and it is impervious to disease germs.
