That you love him, ere life's evening
Tinge hla brow with HuuBetKlow.
Why should good words ne'er he rhIi!
Of a friend-till lie is dead?
If you hear a song that thrills you.
8nng by any child of song,
Praise It. Do not lot the singer
Wait deserved praises long.
Why should one who thrills your hwirt
Lack the joy you may impart?
If you hear a prayer that moves you
By its humble, pleading tone,
Join it. Do not let the seeker
Bow before his God alone.
Why should not your brother share
The strength of 'tvo or three" in prayer?
If you see the hot tears falling
From a brother's weeping eyes,
Stop them, and, by kindly sharing,
Own our kinship with the skies.
Why Bhould anyone be glad
When a brother's heart is sad?
If a silvery iaugh goes rippling

Share it. 'Tis the wise man's saying
"For both grief and Joy a place."
There's health and goodness iu the mirth
In which an honest lau$h has birth.

Capital Invested ill Manufacturing Doubled ju
tho Laat Deoaile.
Albany, N. Y., Journal.
The wool industry boing under disans.
siou in the house, some interesting facts
and figures on that subject have been
taken from the census repoita. The im
portance of this industry is perhaps more
clearly shown at a glance by the fact
that the manufacturing of wool and
woolen goods in the United States em
ploy 223.0UO people, payiug wages
amounting to a quarter of a million dol
lars a day, using material smouuting to
$209,000,000 a year, end turning out
products valued at ?34!,0O0,OO0 annual
ly. The number of establishments is
2867 and the capital employed 8;!25,000,
000. It will thus be seen that the wool man
ufacturing industry is no small one. A
line of business which pays 878,GW,000
a year in wages alone and adds 8137,
000,000 of value to the material which it
passes through its machinery annually
with au investment of $325,000,000 is no
small one.
This industry is confined mostly to the
New England states, Pennsylvania, New
York and New Jersey. Pennsylvania
has by far the largest number of estab
lishments, the total number in that state
being 771 against 391 in New York, 360
in Massachusetts and Ithode Island, 111!
in Connecticut and 102 in New Hamp
shire. Ohio is the only Western state
which has any considerable number, ber
total number being 13G. Tbe growth of
tbe industry in the past decade is shown
by tbe fact that the capital invested ten
years ago was only $150,000,000, or just
about ooe-bult that of today,
The fact that tho wool manufacturing
industry is following tbe general trend
whioh seems to govern in all industries,
the concentrating of tbe business into
large establishments, is shown by tbe
fact that while tbe oauital has been
doubled in the past deoade and tbe val
ue of products increased largely, the
number of working establishments bave
been reduced.
The number of establishments in actu
al operation now is 2503 as against 2689
ten years ago, yet the oepiial invested in
those ot today is double that invested in
tbe larger number ten years ago, tbe
number of people employed is 40 per
cent greater than ten years ago and the
value of produce 35 per cent greater than
in 1HK0, Even these figures do Dot show
tbe increase in the production during tbe
deoade, because there has been a general
reduction in tbe market value ot goods
produced, and therefore the quantity is
even greater in proportion than indicated
by tbe figures which show values only.
The most striking inarease in any branch
of woolen industry in the decade is that
of knit goods which shows an advance of
132 per cent in tbe ten years just ended.
The field that is open to the farmers of
tbe United States and others desiring to
enter the wool producing industry under
tbe protection now afforded is showD by
the fact that out of the 373,000,000 pounds
of wool used by these establishments in
the year 1890, 114,000,000 was of foreign
production, so that over one-fourtb of the
wool used in the manufacturing indus
tries of this oountry is still brought in
from abroad.
Therk is oue class of people that is
eternally making us tired. It is tbe
boasters. Peripatetic Falstaffs, who
have never been taught FalstBff's lesson
of humiliation. The votaries of this class
are becoming more numerous every day.
Boaster in business, in politics, in relig
ion, and, pitiable as it may seem, boast
ers among the disciples of learning,
though the wiser most men become, tbe
more cbarv they are of assumption. It
is a relief to meet occasionally a man
who doesn't know everything in the en
oyclopiedia of kuowledge aDd who is sat
isfied to converse with some people as
equals.
NKW YORK THK DANGER SPOT.
I The Minneapolis convention over, purj-
lie interest turns toward Chicago. Tiiere,
s at Minneapolis, we shall see a hot
I light over a contested delegation. In
I this contest republicans huve an tutere9t
j second only to that in their own conven
tion. If Hill should be the nominee, the
republicans would bave to fight against
tremendous odds in New York. The
trickster who oounted out the republi
cans iu the last election, and who sprung
the "snap" convention upon his own
party, is not a man to scruple at desper
ate methods when they otter tho tempt
ing prize of the presidency. If cunning
brain oould oonirive a method for the
counting out of the republican, electors,
tbe state of New York would oertainly be
stolen from tbe republicans, no matter by
what plurality it might be carried by Mr.
HarrisoD.
The republicans, therefore, have rea
son to fear tbe nomination of Hill. With
Cleveland as tbe nominee it is not likely
that Hill would resort to such audacious
and desperate ineiisuaes as ho would if
bis own ambition were at stake.
Herein lies Mr. Harrison's greatest per
il. The election machinery of the pivot
al state is under the partial oontrol of
Hill. The man is bold to madness, am
bitious to criminality, and with the
tempting prize of the presidency before
him he would halt at nothing thut could
oe employed to prevent on honest ballot
and a fair oount. Spokane Keview.
RAKING POWDKH WAH.
The envy shown to other baking pow
uci luuijuiauiiirers or rue great prestitre
of the Koyal Bakitig Powder is not at all
surprising.
For thirty years the Koyal has been the
standard for purity and strength in bak
ing powders, and has been plnoed at the
bead by everv board of official exBmin
ers whother state or national.
lhe Koyal Baking Powder Company
controls i)s own cream of tartar factory
and the processes for making tbe onl
chemically pure oream of tartar. It sends
its product to millions of homes all ove
the world, supplies tbe Army and Navy
the great transatlantic steamnrH. the
finest hotels and restaurants, and is rec
ommended by the best chefs aud author
lties on cuisine in every land. Its sale
is larger than that of all other cream of
tartar baking powders combined; it baa
more friends among housekeepers thai
any other similar article.
These facts are doubtless bitterness to
the makers of the inferior linking pow
ders.
HOW IT WOItKH.
The Mckinley law is doiug more to
build np industries and give employment
to labor than nny other system that could
be adopted; it is depopulating manufac
turing distriots in Europe, but populat
ing our own; it is transferring oauital,
manufactures und skilled laborers from
other lands to ours ; it is developing tho
talent of our inventors, and multiplying
labor saving machinery; it is adding to
our population, enterprises, wealth and
demand for capital and labor; it is en
larging the product of our mines, of coal
and iron and oopper and cinnabar aud
zino and our quarries of stone, nnd is
opening up our mines of tin. It is sup
plying needed revenue, and compelling
foreign manufacturers to pay a good part
of it. The "tin-plate liar" is in full re
treat. It baa oompelled the "robber"
Free Trader to pause in his oaroer of
plundering Amerioan oilizeus for the
benefit of foreigners. Free traders are
being repudiated by tbe people. Hill is
rebuked in tbe great Btate of New York,
where republicans have been robbed of
power by frnud and corruption. Judge
William Lawrence, of Ohio.
Acrowi ills Deep, Ui the Fur West,
On steamboats, oars nnd stage-coaches,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is carried as
the most important item in the materia
medioa of the traveling public. It de
prives vitiated, brackish water of its
hurtful properties and execrable llavor,
Counteracts the pernicious effects upon
stomach of bad or indigestible food, rem
edies oramps, heartburn and wind upon
the stomach. It is a fine defense against
malarial disorders, nullifies the effects
of exoessive heat, oold and damp, relieves
sick headaches, and is an incomparable
onre for costiveness and biliousness.
The fatigue of travel often tells most dis
astrously upon invalids and conval
escents, occasionally to such an extent
as to jeopardize life. Persons in feeble
health, apprehensive of bud effects from
travel, will, if provided with tbe Bitters,
be far less likely to have their fears re
alized. Di'.i'iiw, iu bis speech seconding Har
rison's nomination, said, "The campaign
will be won or lost upon the policv of
foreign, domestio and industrial meas
ures and administrative acts of the ad
ministration of Benjamin Harrison."
Stanley critic ised and ridiculed the
work of Kniin Pasha, as an explorer. But
now that tbe great Prussian-Egyptian is
dead, it may be developed from bis notes
and scientific writings that' his unique
career was as valuable to the world an
that of his mors noted oo-worker.
A DinrATcn announcis that David

the nomination, at the baudr of the Chi
cago convention, to be used whenever,
at tbe discretion of his hsckcni, it msy

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
Walla Walla Uuiou Journal : White
law Keid is tbe first newspaper man ever
nominated for au office as great as that
of vice president.
Oregon City Enterprise: The people's
party didn't get a single office and it
member's are looking straight down their
noses. But cheer up; tbere'l be some
other party along next year that willgivi
you a cbtinoe to keep out of the beaten
rat of plodding common sense. Here's
to cheer tbe disconsolate hip, hip, hoo-ra-ay
!
Iteferrring to the indicting of bis tariil
message Mr. Cleveland is quoted as say
ing: "When I picked up the pen I Bad
but one man in my mind from the time
I wrote th first word until I signed my
nBme, and that was the American
farmer, but be did not nnuerHtund me."
Mr. Cleveland is greatly mistaken. The
Ameriran farmer understood him alto
gether too well. That's the rub. Eoon
otnist.
Democratic newspapers are just now
busy hunting up Wbitelaw Reid's faults
aud shortcomings. They find tbe great
est charge against him to ba that he has
always uutil two weeks ago, employed
non-nuiou printers, paying them the
union soale of wages. For this, some of
these papers are labeling him "Kat"
Keid. To our notion this is a poor way
to make votes for the democratic candi
dates. If nothing worse oan be said of
Mr. Ecd ho is surely a man of virtue.

London Eveuing News: No assem-
uiy in toe uiaiory oi lauer-iiay American
politics has been ot equal interest in
England to tho Chicago democrat io con
vention. The candidate Bcleoted will
stand as tbe exponent of proleotion
which by its latest engine the Mi Kic-
ley taritl blocks the American markets
against British manufacturers. A re
publican victory iu the ooming election
would retard for a long time the prog
ress of the sound c.imimeioiul doctrines
that underlie the ciinimeicial greatness
of Great Britain and alono maintain
British nsoendenoy.
The wonderful success of tbe reci
procity policy of the United States has
not failed to invito the jealousy of Great
Britain. It must be admitted, too, that
(or that jealoiiHy there is ample reason.
The control of their own markot already
threatened by the very nations of whose
manufacturing interests England wished
to be master, British mannfuoturers now
find themselves deprived of tbe few neu
tral markets remaining open to them by
this policy, participation in the benefits
of which their free trade system has ren
dered impossible. Economist.

New York Tribune: Oregon hus re
peated the augury of republican success
which cheered the national convention
four years ago. Now, as then, tho lie
liberations of the grand party council
have opened with news of victory from
the distant Pacific state. Tho republi
cans have carried the election of both
members of congress by sweeping plu
ralities, and they huve both branches of
be legislature. Under reapportionment
two members are now elected in place of
one, tint their joint pluralities exceed
that of Hermann obtained four veins
ago. Tbe plurality on tho state ticket is
about what it was iu the June eleolions
of the hint presidential year. It has res
ponded vigorously to the call of Klioile
Island in the Mast, anil has recorded in
unmistakable terms its approval of that
broad and enlightened republican policy
which protects the products of its formts

THAT LITTLE "IF:
Now comes the Portland Telegram with
the assurance that Oregon is still in the
doubtful list, and shows as evidence of
it that the oumbined vote of the demo
cratic aud people'a party would defeat the
republicans. So it would. So would
tho combined vote of the people's party
and the republicans carry every man
from president to constable, iu the whole
United States. But that little "if" is in
tbe road.
The democratic party ia no more in
accord with the doctrines of the people'a
party than the republican foroes, so what
is the use of indulging in the pastime of
building air castles out of imbossibili
ties. The people's party is at present
opposed to fusion, but as soon as it
throws to the swine this feature of the
party, will it soon lose its individuality
and fall back into the ranks of the old
parties, as did the greenback party of
some years ago? Fusion means death
to the weaker of the two political parties,
with nothing to be gained in return for
the sacrifice.
It is said that the people's party sup
ported George E. Chamberlain, aud this
is oited by our exohange as being the
proper thing to do. If followed up,
would it place our statu iu the list of
democratic strongholds? Will the peo
ple's party ever dv this for the simple
pleasure of throwing power to democra
cy? Many people's party men anil inde
pendent thinking republicans, oted for
Geo. E. Chamberlain, not because he
was a democrat, but for the more no
ble purpose of placing in the office of
attorney general, an able and honest
man. Purtizau ends were lost sight of
in the choice of the man.
It makes oue wratliy to read this rub
ble 'about what may be expected in the
future "if," "if," People will vote for
the man, more or less, but they will not
do it to please or displease a lot of par
tiznuH. From a democratic standpoint,
such organs as the Portland Telegrntn do
their cause more harm tiinu good, be
cause they haven't political sagacity
enough to hide the real ends to he hc.
ooihplishcd.
The people will vote for "tho man,''
but not to please oue party or the other.
All of them must put up their host men,
even iu a republican state, or expect to
be eternally snowed under.
RECIPROCITY WINS.

This gives a balance iu our favor of

The excess iu the shipments of bread-

LOUISIANA LEVEES.
Tho New Orleans Picayune gives inter
esting information as to tbe building of
levees and every word tells ot the exoess
ive difficulty and expetiHiveuess of the
levee system. State lines are iuterfer
ferenoes, between Arkansus and Louis
iana especially. In a word Louisiana
has to be protected by levees iu Arkan
sas. Within two years iu Louisiana and
part of ArkauHus there were constructed
18,811,151 cubic yards of new levee, of
which 1 ,452,024 were in Arkansas and
tho remainder of 19,028,127 cubic yards
were built in Louisiana. This work was
a total cost of 8,'l132,1051 of which 8279,
000 waH spent in Arkansas. O! this fund
tbe United States contributed 88u7,l8li
and the state of Arkansas gave $25,545.
