__ PEOPLE'S OURNAL. PICKEN187 ONE OLLAR A EAR. TARIFF MESSAGE OF PRESIDENT McKINLEY PLAIN, DIlilCF AN I) POINTIC). Congross is Asked to Increaso th Tariifl'iiimi(llately-Tli Conditior 4 of tbe Revenue Demands Prompi Action. Tho following messago from P1rcsi dent McKinley was sent to Congret upon its piuping :n To tihe Congress of tho Unitod States: Reo-gretting the nocessit.y which hit required 11i0 to call you together, I feel t hat your asembling in extraordinary session Is indispensable because of the condition in which wo find the revenues of tho government. It is conceded that, its current .oxpenditures are greater than its rcoipts and that such a condition has existed for now inore than three years. With uniluited means at our command, we are pre scutiig the remarkable spectacle of increasing our puolto- debt by boriow ing loney to moot the ordinary out lays incident upon even an economical and prudent administration of the government. An exatuination of the subject discloses this fact in every detail and leads incvitably to the con clusion that the condition of the rov onue which allows it is unjustitiable and should be corrected. We find by tihe reports of the Secre tary of the Treasury that the reveu-s for the fiscal year, ending Juno 30, 1892, f rom aWl surec 4 were $425,808,2J. 22,and the expenditures for all purpose.s were $415,953,80 5(, l-aving an exues of recuipts Over vX peniditures of *9,914, 453.6. During that fiscal year $10,570, 467.98 were paid upon the public debt, which had been reduced since March 1, 1889, $250,o76,890, and the annual interest charge decreased $11,t1,576. 60. The receipti of the government from all sources, during the fiscal year, endi ing ,liune :10, 1893, amounted to $461,716.51, and its expenditures to $159,371,887, showing an excess of rc cecipts over e xpenditu res of $2,341,07-1. Since that time the receipts of no fiscal year, and with but few excep tions of no month of any fiscal year, have exceeded the expenditures. The reccipts of the government from all sources, during the fiscal year, ending June 30, 1 84, were $372,802,4198, and its expenditures $ll2,005.758, leaving a delicit, the fitst siuco the reumption of specio payments. of 't69,803,2i0. Not vithstanding there was a decrease of $1 (;,7 69. 128 in the ordinary expenses of the government as compared with the previous 'liscal year, its income was still not sullicient to provide for its daily necessities, and the gold reserve in the treasury for the redemption of greenbacks was drawn upon to mcet them. Butdhhis did not sutice, and the government, then resorted to loans to replenish the reserve. In lebruiry, IS911,*50 000,000 in bonds were issuei, a d in Novembher follow ing a sceond issue of $50,000,000 wab deemd necess3ary. T1he sum of $1li, 171,795 was realized by the sale of these bonds, but the reserve wasstead ily decreased until, on February 8, 189.5, a third sale of $62,3 15,400 in bonds far *G,5116,24-1 was announced to Con gress. The receipts of tile government for the fical yer ending June 30, 1895, wer $390,:173 203, and the expenditures $43:,, 78,120, showing a deficit of $42, 805,22:. A further loan of $100,000,000 was no gotiate-d by the government in l0'ebru ary, 1896, the sale netting $111,10,216, and swelling the aggregate of bonds issuied within three years to $2(;2.3l5, It0). For the fiscal year ending Julne 30, .891;, the revenues of the governmnent fromu all sources amouinted to $109, 175, -11)8, wvhinle its expenditures wvere $131 ,(78,(;5 I, or an1 ecess of ex penidi. tures over receipts of $25,203,2-I5. In other words, the total receiplts for the three fiscal years, entding Juino 30. I189fi, were lisufllcient by $137,811,729 to meet tho total expenditures. Nor has this cond(1ition since 1imp~rov ed. F'or the~ fi rst half of tihe present fiscal year, the ree ipts of the govern ment1, exclusIve oif postal revenues, were *157,5t07.t;03, and0 its ex lpend ituires exdusive of posta1l service $195,410,000, or 'an excess of expenditures over re clplts (if $37,902,39(i. in .1lanuary of thiis year, tihe receipts exclusive of postal revenues wer-e $2-1,31 t,199I and the e xp enditu11res exel usivye of piostal ser~vice 30,2;9,3M9, a deficit oif $5.952, 3953 for the'. mionitb.

I like to work when I feel like it, but my wife likes for ie to work when she feelk like it, and s,) between tho two I have to work nearly all the time. Yesterday I was gruntinr around with rheumatism, but she took a notion that it was a good day to take the ve randali trellis down and clean away all the old dead vines, and thought it would help t me to get warmed up by exercise-and it did. She knows-she has heard me try to play ofT on gripp atd rheumatics before-you can't fool tho woman you have been living with fortL-eight years-so I got the ladder and climbed u) to the top and cut away the tangled web and trimmed the running rosovines and the wisteria and Virginia creeper and then tore a-ay the old caneq and cleaned up all the trash and burned it. 1' was a big jl)b for the verandah Is fifty feet long and I had to move the old rickety lad detr a dozz-n times-soveral times I got sorter 'dizzy.and liked to have fatlen, but my folks don't believe I am as old as I atm, and they never will be lieve it untl 1 break my arm, or my leg, or my neck. Then I reckon they will be sorry. A man never grows old to his own fainily ; no man is a hero to his own servant. The servant knows hi m too well, and just so my wife won't admit that I am too old to be useful, and she keeps me trott ing around. She gives me )recepts and examples, for she is never idlen-makes up tho bed, cleans up her room, Puts out the washing and dis tributes it when it comes in, monds my clothes, darns my stockings, sows on the missing buttons, hides my best panIts to keep ie from working in them and scolds ie ever and anon about amy carelessness. She keeps on making little garments for the grand children and still finds time to boss me in the flower garden and go to the mn issionary meeting, and writs letters to the boys. She never reads until almost bedtime, but next morning can tell us all the news worth knowing, and has her Opinions about Cleveland aind MeKinlty and Lyman Abbott and Dr. Broughton and female suffrage. I read to her the repent vote in parlia ment about that and asked hem' what she thought of it. " Well," said she, " I don't care to vote, of course 1 don't, but if female su1ffrage will lessen female ' suflerage.' I hope it will pass. tt makes my heart bleed to read about these heartless men deceiving and be traying foolish young girls who trusted then---what a pitiful scene it was that ruined girl following that man and his bride into tle parior cars in Atlanta, and in her presence upbraid ing him with his infamy. And just look around all over this country at the young married Women who have been abandoned by their unprincipled husbands, and now have to work and toil and almost beg for a living for themselves and their litlte ones. If a jury of women (could try these deceiv ers and these faithless 1s1banlds they would be sent to the chaingang, where they belong. If a young man embezh' zies seine rich mann's money and( runms away, thte judge and the gr'and1 jury and the newsp~aper's make an aw ful fuss about it and send telegrams all over the c:amntry to catch him, but if he ruins a woman and breaks hter heart and makes a wreck of her life it is hushed up and nothing is (lone. I amU not a wvoman's-irighits woman. She hais rights enough, but there ought to be sonmc way of avenging her wrongs." T1hat is a fact, anld my opinion is that her wvrongs never' will be avenged until she is niot only empowered to vote, but also to hold ollice in school rooms and in'the government of the towns and villages. The age of gal lantry and chivalry toward wvomen has passedC. ThIiis is the unfeeling ago, and woman has to shift f~r herself. Thitt y years ago she worked at sevetten occupations, and now at 130, and gets ab iout hal f piriee for' her' labor-half t he price that the men :ret who (1o it no better. I am ashamued of my sex, and I never buiy a sh ir for' 50 cents buit w hat I remember tihat a poor1 wo mani miaile it-mattd( it in some0 ganret - wo~rkedl all (lay andl part of the night. " W ith lin geris wearty ati twtorn W ith eyelidus lieavy andt red."

I know womient whosa unprincipled husbands have boetn br'eak ing their mnaririago vows ever~ si nce ithy mnade them, and still they pass( autJ repatss int the community as gent lemenu. I hi, this Is the same old1 story-w ho ca res. Now It Is said that although the wo man's su tfrage bill has passedl the house of commnons by a large majority, it will be ignonimnously killed int the house of lords--why I should like to k now ? The herds arc nt a senaite whose age and dignity might, correct hasty or unwise legislation, but, they arc a pampnleredl putrse-proud noility,' T1he most of them are and many of thern havc as many wives as Brilgham Young ever did(. lIut the time is near at hand whetn wotmen wvill he enfranchis ed in mor'e wanys than one. The laws of mlarr'iage anmd divorce arto bet' in l'ngland now thtan otrs. Thecy are governed by the church--by the ec eliaatina courts. it ae nolitl time to get married. The mattet'r is considered and discussed openly and freely beforo an engagement is made. It must be a union that Is fit to be itdo and the bans must be published and announced fr'omii tie PUlpit for' so many Sabbaths ptrevious to the ceremiony. Consetiuently there are n1o clopements -n1o runaIlLwaIys, and of course not so Ilany divorces. Ilconsiderato youngr people used to runaway to Gretna Green, in Scotland, ar.d be married by an (H Scotch blacksmith, but thoso marriages were declared illegal about forty years ago, ani-. now it is a crimo to be married anywhere save in the chu ch after the bans have been pub lished. Great eolemnity is attached to the ceremony. But, here anybody can run away with anybody's daughter and be married by anybody in any sort, of fashion and get loose whenever they take a notioo. The whole business of marriage and divorce should be re modelled by Cong.-css and mado uni forimi in all the States. It makes mio sick to read those divorce advertise monts of lawyers in Chicago: " D! vorces obtained without attracting attention." But the devil is now Un chained and the thousand yeurs are out. BiLIj, Am,. MISSE1D A CROWN. An literesting Chapter o' South Carolina History. Bloston Education Magazine. South Carolina has had one pr'omi nent man of whom it may be said, "Ile missed a crown." An account of him and his family forms a chapter of in terest In the annalh of the historic ['al mfeLnO State. The Middletons are not only one of the most distinguished, but also one of the oldest. of the Carolina families. An account of them and their estates reads almost like the history of some noble family of EIngland. Before the English had been permanently settled in the colony a dozen years, we find Edward Midddleton a mnember of the collicil under the Lords 1'roprietors. H1e was horn in lngland and inherited a large property. IIis son, Arthur iMiddleton. headed the revolution which threw of the rule of the Lords I lroprieto's and placed the province directly under the protection of the l'nplish crown, Ile was afterwards Governor of the prov ince. Henry Middleton, son of Arthur, was president. of the Continental Con ress in 1775. The most famous of the Middletons was Arthur, who was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. le was he son of Henry (just mentionea), and vas born at the family seat in 174:. le received his education in England. In 177) lie took the fie'd in defense of Dliarleston, and the following year h was made a prisoner, but was after wvards3 exchanged. At one time during 1he revolution he declined the Govern Wslip of hIs St to. H lied in I 77. lis home, the Middleton Place (which was in the low country of South Caro lina) has been destroyed, but the fol owing "pen picture" of the grounds, oublished in 188, will give the readcr in idea of what a line place it must have been: "The od gates with their mIssive pilhars stand intact, but of the home stead itself only the chimneysand parts .f the walls remain. At Middleton 'lace, an Englishman would feel at home evel to-dav. Many of the old ktrraces and hedges remain as they were a century ago, and the am ple grounds, which tre tolerably well kept, have a decidedly English air. This place is still i. po-scession of the Mid dleton family." DuLrintr the present century this family hus furnished one gover-nor to Sou th Cr ton a; that wa1- lien ry MI id dlieton . son oif the '"'i gner :" he tilled the ollie' I18It 12, after which he served in Cong r'ss, and wats al-o, for iseveral years, minister to ltussia. When a young man, lie traveled a good (deal in IEurlopo, ando fot' some time11 during the French revel ution was in lera'nce, IIis deoath occur'red in 18 hi. Governor idd(((leton and the late Goy. lienjamin I". l'erriy were both miemnbers of the Un ion party duiiring the stirrintg timeils of null11 icetion, ando GJov er'nor l.err'y, in lhis dielightful '' ltem i niscences" (which can well he reaid with pleaLsure and prohi t by many others besides South Carolinians), has gIven us a pleasant sketch (of Governor Mid dleton, with whtom lie was wvell ac rjuainted.
