Dodge started to run for a near by tree, but looking over his shoulder he saw that he could not make it. Then he stopped and faced the animal with a hunting knife, which at best could scarcely cut the hide. The bear hit him, knocked him down, and began to bite at his hips. To save himself the man put his right arm clear to the elbow between the bear's teeth and let him chew on that, calculating that the grizzly wouldn't last long with the wounds he had received. Loss of blood killed the bear and nearly killed Dodge, and in consequence he was in bed a good many more weeks than was comfortable for a plainsman.

There is reason no longer for hesitation to invest capital; before capitalists naturally shrank from putting money Into a country where a barometrical money value and rate of exchange existed. Now gold Is paid for In gold and the country's products are worked and realizod in gold; in fact, a money has been established which is of the same value to everyone whether payer or payee.

It is the belief that Ohrist died for us, that by His death on the cross, as an expiatory sacrifice. He paid the penalty of our sins, satisfied divine justice and rcoonciled us to God. It is an important doctrine and because of its importance we should know why we believe in it Taking its importance into consideration, it is a matter of satisfaction that there are so many and such positive proofs that the Bible teaches this doctrine. Upon these proofs our belief in this truth is founded. An Object Lesson from the Noted Text of the Lesson, I Kings i, 28-80. British Colony. ago.

"Then King David answered and Bald, Call me Batlisheba. And Bbe came Into the king'n presence and stood before the king." Batlisheba (daughter of an oath) was the mother of Solomon or Jedldlah (II Sam. xll, 24, 25).

Only one instance of prophecy need bo quoted—the fiftythird chapter of Isaiah, which undoubtedly refers to Christ's atoning death. "He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon Him and with His stripes we are healed" (verse 5). Language could not be more definite or plain. Christ's death for us is distinctly prophesied in this chapter. God fulfills prophecy, and this one was fulfilled by the death of Christ on the cross of Calvary. and the Chief Authority, Speaking of It, Say* : '• Unquestionably the Change Has Been so Far a Valuable I loon to CHAjfEB IL He walked into the toy tfbop with the uncertain air bred by unfumlltority. tie whs not old—perlmps 60; he may, indeed, have been younger.

Outside in the strict the sun beat down on the white sidewalk with a glare that reflected even toto tbe carefully shaded shop. Behind tbe counters tbe young women stood or sat in little groups.

Poleville Centre was the largest vil lage in the great fertile region of the newly discovered 4Duntry.

"And the king swore and said, As the Lord Hveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress." Although on his deathbed, he had no fear, for hu could sny, "Bless the Lord, O my soul, who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who redeemeth thy life from destructionI" (Ps clii, 4, 6.) His oorafort in his dying hour was not that he had been faithful, or lived a perfect life, but it was in the living God and His faithfulness, of whom ho said, "Although my house be not so with God, yet hath He made with me an everlasting covenant ordered in all things and sure" (II Sam. xxili, 6).

It is only of late yean that the practice of leaving money In trust for one's descendants has become common in tbe United Staates, but M is very com mon now; and its consequences, for good or for evil, are likely to be serious. Since tbe civil war, great private fortunes have rolled up in this country upon a scale unprecedented in the history of the world; and the same conditions which have made this possible in the post are almost certain to exist, perhaps even they will be Intensified, in tbe future. The governor of British Honduras, Sir Alfred Moloney, gives in The North American Review an interesting account of the experience of that colony under the silver standard and its successful passage to the gold standard, an experience full" of Instruction at this time. Honduras had naturally followed its neighbors in the use of silver money, but some four years ago the depreciation of the currency had reached such a point that credit was destroyed and trade and industry paralyzed. There prevailed "a constant worry and a bewildering uncertainty which resulted practically in the conversion of legitimate trade into speculative gambling; as can be appreciated when it is known that the value of- the Guatemalan silver dollar, the local standard, varied no less than 60 percent, within eighteen months." Honduras Is but a smaU country, yet the laws of value are of universal application and the evil effects of a depreciated currency and the good effects of a sound currency may be studied as woll on a small scale as on a large. The confusion from which Honduras has escaped was simply a small example of what the United States would suffer from an attempt to find a standard of value in silver. The escape was made by the adoption of the scientific . coinage system of the United States as it was before the silver agitators had destroyed its consistency and integrity by the Bland and Sherman experiments, and our own passage to financial security is to be effected by Imitating the good sense of the people of little Honduras. CHAPTER III. For ten days and nights did the fair maid stalk beside the sad, salt sea, throwing her searchlight across tbe thickly wooded shores of Greenland into Baffin Bay beyond, and wringing her soft, white bands, which had be come soaked in Arctic fog. No sail ahoy wa9 visible. At the end of the tenth day she went home to eat and help her mother make ice cream for the summer boarders. Signal lanternf were run to the top of the pole and a strolling German band was detailed to scatter along the beach and blow their horns at regular intervals. And the days chased one another onward ir their mad glee, and still no sail wae visible. 2. The Old Testament sacrifices were expiatory and pointed to Christ The names of these sacrifices prove their character. They were called sin offerings, trespass offerings—that is, offerings made by sinners on account of sin. They are said to bear the sins of offenders and to secure God's forgiveness by the shedding of blood by giving life for life. , These sacrifices were the type of the sacrifice of Christ who once offered Himself np, and if they were expiatory it necessarily follows that the sacrifice of C'hrist would possess the same character.80. "Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead." This was the Lord's appointment as fully statod in I Chron. xxii, 0, 10, and in ohapter xxvtli, 5, David says, "Of all my son*—for the Lord hath given me many sons—He hath chosen Solomon, my son, to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel." When the queen of Sheba oame to see Solomon, she said, "Blessed be the Lord thy God, which delighted In thee to set thee on His throue, to be king for the Lord thy God I" (II Chron. lx, 8.) No earthly throne was ever oalled tbe throne of the Lord, except that at Jerusalem, and Jerusalem shall yet be tbe throne of the Lord for the benefit of all nations, notwithstanding all anti-Christian hatred (Jer. Ui, 17, 18). For a moment he stood In the doorway. After the glare of the street the shop seemed almost tn darkness. Gradually the forms of the young women were outlined to his sight, and then he saw dimly the things on the counters. A Test Necessary.

Many a genius has passed through life with his talent undeveloped; simply because the requisite circumstances hare not presented themselves. The individual himself, or herself, certain environments, lack of means, ill health, or others of a hundred and one things, may be the cause of this, but our principle remains the same in all cases. Many an obscure Individual has worried through an uncongenial and uneventful life, who possessed the genius of a poet Innumerable old scraps of scribbled up paper may bear silent witness to this undeveloped or hidden talent, and perchance the file of some country newspaper may show to what extent his gendus was brought to public attention, when for the absence of the descernlng eye of a fair critic, U was wholly unappreciated, insofar as its future promises for greatness to Ha author were concerned.chusetts Man. In 1891 the purchasing power of the "sol" equalled 72 rents, gold; In October, lt#H, at the time of the establishment of the new standard, it was represented by 50 cents, net, above which it has not been quoted since. Down in Beverly there is a man who has three of the most singular pets in the world. He takes great care of them, bnt so far as the fear of any one stealing them goes, there is not the slightest need of it. for the pets air nothing lees than snakes of the most venomous species, two of them copper heads, and one a water moccasin. They are in full possession of their poisonous qualities; yet their owner fondles them and handles them as if they were stuffed. He keeps them in his bed room, in a light box, bat has not tht slightest fear of sleeping there with them, as he knows that they would never touch him. He is a manufacturer of snake oil liniment, and he uses snakes in the manufacture of the oil These three he keeps as pets, and says that he would not sell them for a thousand dollars each if he could not replace them with others as good. William J, Bryan and the Bussing of the Drone. 3. The New Testament declares positively that Christ's death was expiatory. In Rom. iii, 25 Paul says Christ is set as "a propitiation (an expiatory sacrifice) through faith in His blood." In Gal. i, 4 he says that Christ4 'gave Himself for our sins." The writer of Hebrews *ays that were "sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." John says that Jesus Christ "is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the world." Peter speaks of Christ as He "who His own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree." "The farmers should stand together," says William Jennings Bryan, "and protect themselves from the drones of society, who produce nothing but laws." An officious and obsequious young man came forward nibbing bis lum/hi Within a minute the man was in charge of a cool-looking young woman, with a pretty smile and a gracious manner. Almost before be knew It the man was talking with her and explaining things that needed no explanation.CHAPTER IV, Governor Moloney says Now, it so happened that in Polevllle Centre lived a young doctor who was also a suitor for the fair Trilbena't hand, but he didn't suit her. He had watched her through all her great sor row, longing yet fearing to offer hex words of love and condolence. Then he was missing for several days. No one skating along the main thoroughfare had seen his familiar figure for some time, and people feared he might have been borne away in the night on a departing ice berg. Not he. "Witjh no direct cable connection and with an exchange rate continually varying, calculations as to prices were conjectural; goods had to 1*: figured capriciously in anticipation of a fall, whether one occurred or not, or at a rate ruling at the time of importation; and when sold, as was frequently the case, at a credit of six months or more, serious loss was often experienced. Consequently, traders were dazed, imports decreased, selling prices had to be constantly readjusted and greatly advanced and the main burden fell upon the consumers, whose income, wheter fixed or as wages, had not core respondingly Increased. These became discontented and irritated with the exporters, who were the few persons who really made money during the period, as they worked with the depreciating and realized in the appreciating money. Enterprise was discouraged. Sales of property were suspended. As material had chiefly to be imported, builders fought shy oi contracts, as they never could tell how they would come out. The shrinkage of the value of the "sol" meant corresponding loss to most and had a most demoralizing effect, tending to destroy prudence and thrift. Progress under such circumstances was impossible." In professional life Mr. Bryan, we believe, Is a lawyer, and in public life he ha9 been for two terms a representative in congress from the state of Nebraska. 81. "Let my Lord King David live forever." Thus sold Bathsheba. Compare I Sam. *, 24, and margin, and also Neh. il, 3; Dan. il, 4, eta David still lives with Christ In glory, awaiting the resurrection of his body, unless be rose froin the dead In the company of Math, xxvil, 68, 53, which does not seem probable from Acts 11, 20, 84. Our great oomfort as belleven. Is that He who once died for us on Calvary is alive forevermore, having all power in heaven and on earth, and because He lives we live also (Rev. 1, 18; John xiv, 10). It was as a congressman that he became known to the country at large, and yet in congress, according to his own social classification, he was simply one of "the drones of society, who produce nothing but laws." "I want to get a er-er-er, a toy, you know," he said. She forgave him, and wept for Joy when informed that her Joseph was her own again and that she could go home with him. "Yes, sir," said the young woman. "Here Is a very pretty dolL How would that do?" and she brought out a wonderful creation with eyes that opened and shot, and long blond curls. It was dressed in a pale blus silk gown. THE SPIRIT THAT WINS. In his speech at Dover, in Delaware, on Monday Mr. Bryan warned the farmers to be on their guard against these drones. "Just as long as the non-producers make the laws," he told them, "it will be more 4. No other theory will explain the death of Christ God would not have given Christ to pay a debt to satan, or to teach us by example to live a life of sacrifice, or to show His idea of the majesty of the law.

"How do you Mke that?" asked the young woman, holding the doll up for inspection. Then she pressed a hidden spring. Patient industry always wins a measure of success, but nearly always takes the best part of a man's life to reach the goal to which he aspires. Enterprise, ability and a trained Judgment of human nature puts a man to the front In rapid strides. These are the qualities that make the wealthy and influential citizen out of the poor boy. The people call it luck. One day he suddenly appeared before the maid who had so many times repulsed him. 82. "And King David said: Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benalah the son of Jeholada. And they oame before the king." All are at bis bidding, whether wife or offloers or servants, for any manner of servloe whollj at his oommandment (I Chron. xxviii, 81). The kingdom was well represented by those now assembled, the king, priest and prophet and one of the leading mighty men (11 Sam. xxlll, 80). Our Lord Jesus Christ is all in one. profitable to be a non-producer of wealth." In this way he has himself been a lawmaker instead of a farmer, a drone of society, according to his own definition, Instead of a wealth producing worker? A Boston Transcript reporter saw the pet snakes at Beverly a short time ago and can vouch for the fact that they are genuine creatures and not those elusive visions which come from toying too freely with strong waters. The snake man took the reporter ap to his bed room, and opening a light wooden box. with a wire window in the side, dove his hand into it with as much uncon earn as if he were taking an egg out of a basket, and brought it out again with a snake seven feet long writhing in it. "Tribena," said he, "your lover it false." "Mamma, mamma, papa, papa!" said the doll A Leiaon from Nature.

"I was making the doQ talk," replied the girl. Narture performs her simple experiments in miracles. Examine the structure of a leaf.

SENATOB SHERMAN, 1868: * "No single measure will tend in this direction more than the adoption of a fixed international standard of value, by which all product* may be measured, and in conformity with which the ooln of a country may go with its Hag into every sea and buy the products of every nation without being discounted by the money changers." "I'veseen them." "Them* WhoT" "Why—er—he and the woman." "Woman? Woman? What woman?"83. "Cause Solomon, my son, to ride upon mine own mule and bring him down to Gihon." It was foretold of David's greater Son that He should ride upon a colt, the foal of an ass (Zoch. lx, 9), and this He actually did. It Is foretold of Him that He will oome upon a white horse, aoooinpanlcd by all the armies In heaven, to overthrow His enemies and establish HI* kingdom upon the throne of David, and this He will surely do (Rev. xlx, 11-16, Isa. lx, 6, 7; Luke 1, 82, 33). "Do they make doUs that talk?" asked the man. We see a young man whose qualities and prospects would be called ordinary, Just starting In life. He it peculiar in being of a reserved, modest and seemingly diffident character jdoes not communicate his motives and aspirations to associates; rather Inclined to ignore sport and merriment, but withal harmless and unobtrusive. He engages in some line of business that not one person In fifty would think of doing, and presently makes some show of accumulating. It is soon found that he has interests in various investments, notes, stocks,  and lands. People open their eyes in amazement, and wonder—and call it luck. They know little of his methods or maneuvers.for they view him superficially as a magician, the touch of whose hand turns every tiling to money. They see not the channel of deeper thought that courses through his mind. The extent of his knowledge, reaching and intuitive, is not even a matter of conjecture. To neighbors and friends he is an enigma, his life comes and goes In epochs. Five years pass and he Is unusually prosperous; ten years and he is well-to-do; fifteen years and he Is wealthy; twenty years and be is rich, the pride of his birthplace, the Joy of his family, and the real but fabled prince of many a fairy story that Is told of his life work. The reality is not known, but fabulous tales are on every tongue and he is the hero, who alone can see the secret of his success. He leads a life of ease, comfort and luxury, wtib earth's best fruits at bis command. Individual Effort. "Why," said the girl, with a pitying smile, "they did that ten years ago." When John Williams, the martyr missionary of Eromanga, went to the south sea islands, he took with him a single banana tree from an English nobleman's conservatory, says The Irish Congregational Magazine. And now from that single banana tree bananas are to be found throughout the whole group of islands. "Did they?" said the man; "well, you see it's a good many years since I've seen any toys." "Oh—er—one of the Bowery girls." "I don't believe it You are cruelly deceiving me." "This," he said, as he hung the fear fol creature round his neck, "is a cop perhead; the most deadly snake in thi» country, if not in the world. This*" an 9ther dive and another snake equally large, "is a water mocassin, which if next in venom to a copperhead, and this," he concluded proudly, bringing out a snake larger than either of the other two, "is a female copperhead. She is nine and a half feet long, and the only one I have ever heard of as being successfully kept in captivity." Tht creatures twined themselves about his body, poking under his clothing, and finally all three reared ap their head* against his face, robbing against it, and running their forked red tongues in and oat against his flesh. This picture would apply to auy country attempting to do business on a silver basis at the present time. "Shall I send It home?" asked the young woman. "Well, will you believe your own eyes?" Am I Wrong? "No," said the man; "I don't think that would do at all. I suppose you think I'm a pretty old man to be buying toys," be continued, irrelevantly, "but, you see, I've been so busy trying bo get rich that I never had time to think about getting married till about two years ago. Been out West all the time," he continued, half sadly, "and. somehow, I didn't see things like that out there." "Yes, I will," she replied, in tones that woold have turned cold the blood of an Esquimau. Honduras sought and found a remedy. With tho consent of the crown a coinage ordinance was enacted, which demonetized the then existing currency; provided for its redemption within a specified time at a prescribed rate, which was fifty cents to the dollar, determined by a committee of experts and representing the ratio of the new to the old currency which ruled at the date of the change, and erected the gold dollar of the United States of America into the standard coin of British Honduras. If a dollar worth a dollar—honest coin— without deceit—one may melt it, one may smelt It, but its value won't retreat. Melt ten dollars—silver dollars—In unbiased melting pot, and the sliver "slug" resulting only mils for "five the lot" 84. "And let Kndok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him their king over Israel and blow ye with the trumpet and say, God save King Solomon 1" The anointed of the Lord from the first urn of the phrase In 1 Sam. II, 10, 36, points to Him who is truly the Lord's anointed, and of whim, all anointed priests and kings are but foreshadowings. Before the negro slaves in the West Indies were emancipated a regiment of British soldiers was stationed near one of the plantations; A soldier offered to teach a slave to read on condition that he would teach a second, and that second a third, and so on. "Then come at once to my laboratory."Guarding the Batik at England. On the way he explained to her how he had been at work upon a wonderful machine, and that at last it was completed.The bank of England is watched nightly by a guard of about fifty men from the Household troops, under the command of an officer, who usually march from Wellington or St. George's barracks. They patrol the spacious quadrangles of the bank and do sentry duty over allotted spaces tin the morning, when they are relieved on the arrival of some members of the bank's staff. Tbe officer in command is allowed dinner for himself and a friend, including tbe provision of a bottle of tbe bank's special old port. Tbe men are also supplied with the needful refection. Melt gold dollars—melt an eagle la aforesaid melting pot—and the golden slug quickly sells for "ten the lot." This he faithfully carried oat, though severely flogged by the master of the plantation. Being sent to another plantation, he repeated the same thing there, and wben at length liberty was proclaimed throughout the island and the Bible society oflered a New Testament to every negro who oould read, the number taught through this slave's instrumentality was no less than 600. Will you tell me—kindly tell me—how these dollars equal are—if a little glowing furnace puts on only one a scarf "It is called the new triple X ray long distance telescope," he said, "and now look.

These words "In my stead," found also In verse 80, along with the words in verse 88, "ride upon mine own mule," emphasize very strongly that David's place was to be taken by Solomon. The words In Gen. zx 11, 13, "In the stoad of his son," show how truly the ram took Isaao's place as a sacrifice, and just as truly the Lord Jesus Christ took our place to suffer in our stead. He took our place that we might take His (II Cor. v, 31).

There was never yet equation that demanded legislation to establish right to be—an equation Is equation—else it ia a fallacy? It is instructive to observe, while Mr. Bryan is proposing to introduce tht Spanish-American silver dollar as the standard coin of the United States instead of the gold dollar, that a progressive state which has had experience with the silver dollar has found relief from its financial troubles by udopting our gold dollar as its standard, and with it the other well tried features of our metallic monetary system act confirmed in the famous act of 1878. The Honduras ordinance made the gold coins of the United States mint legal tender for the amounts of their denominations in dollars, as well as the British sovereign and half sovereign for the amounts of $4,867 and SJ.45SI respectively, and established for domestic circulation a subsidiary coinage, at pur with gold, comprising fifty cants, twenty-live cents, teu cents and five cents silver pieces and the bronze cent piece, fixing $10 as the limit of legal tender iii silver and fifty cents for mixed metal or nickel coins. A separate ordinance authorized the issue, against gold, of a colonial paper currency, in notes of tl, 18, $5. 110 and $100. and any multiple of one hundred, fully secured, being in effect gold certificates for the more convenient transfer of gold actually on deposit.

This Is a proper attitude of a servant to a king, saying amen to what the king says, heartily ono with him In all he says and does. What happy people Christians would be if as in tho days of David "whatsoever the king did pleased all the people" (II Sam. Hi, 80). As believers It is our prlvl lege to think God's thoughts, eat His words •tnd be heartily one with Him In everything. Otherwise we oannot walk with Him (Amos ill, 8). We have heard from Ningpo, China, through Rev. H. E. Shoemaker, of a district in which there iB no paid Christian worker, and which has been wonderfully quickened through the zeal of five or six delegates to the Christian Endeavor convention at Ningpo. Genuine Christian Endeavor conventions always make missionaries of their delegates. —Exchange. Confidence, Not Money. The free silverlte will tell you that all this country needs Is an abundance of money—and then good times will follow. These men very well know that they are stating an untruth. Money Is locked up in the banks awaiting Investment, and the only obstacles to a free circulation of money are the uproar and consequent distrust that these repudlatlonists have created. There is ample money in the United States for all business necessities. But there Is no confidence among those who own it, and until this confidence is restored by the defeat of tho Bryan ticket we can expect little business activity.—Shenandoah Herald.

For ■t»te occasions she wears capes of cloaks of very rich black silk, while for ordinary use she selects plain black broadcloth.

"Rottegun Edison," she cried, spring ing up, "I am yours I" Then he folded her to his bosom and would have wept for joy but for the danger of the formation of icicles on his face.

The secret of auy success of David was that, "the Lord was with him" (II Sam. v, 10; vll, 8; viii, 0, 14). It was even so of Motfcri aud Joshua and Gideon and Jeremiah (Ex. Ill, 12; Joshua 1, 5; Judg. vl, 16; Jer. 1, 8), and as If It Included all else, It was one of our Lord's parting words before He ascended, 'Lo, I am with you all the days" (Math, xxvill, Sjp, R. V., margin). I often think that it is the greatest of all the promises for this present life. "The factory Christian Endeavor societies will soon be able to have a conference at the international conventions, the same as the seamen and travelers." Thus prophecies Miss Sara L. Oiler, an earnest worker in this new and auspicious branch of Christian Endeavor. We look for tho fulfillment of her prophecy.

Dear reader, I will not pain or shock you with the details of the awful scene which our heroine was able to witness by the means of the doctor's wonderful instrument Suffice to say, she saw distinctly the sidewalks of Boston, and an the Bowery, once known as Commonwealth avenue, she beheld her wayward lover waltzing to hand organ mu jic with a horrid looking female, clad in more horrid looking bloomers and a sweater.

It is said that the health of the brunette type of eye is, as a rule, superior to that of a blonde type. Black eyes usually indicate good powers of physical endurance. Dark blue eyes are most common in persons of delicate, refined or effeminate nature, and generally show weak health. Light blue, and, much more, gray eyes, are most common in the hardy and active. With regard to diseases of the eye, brown or dark colored are weaker or more susceptible of Injury, from various causes, than gray or blue eyes. Light blue eyes are generally the most powerful, and next to those are gray. Tbe lighter tbe pupil the greater and longer continued is tbe degree of tension the eye can sustain. The majority of tlrst-class shots are men whose eyes are either blue or gray in color. The Eye aa a Test of Strength. Endeavor Notes. The Floating Society of Christian Endeavor at Portland, Me., makes a noble six months' report. Forty new members were secured, 1,600 tracts and 2,602 papers were distributed on vessels and at the Marine hospital. Six hundred and twenty visits were made to vessels and 75 to the seamen's boarding house. Thirteen services weie held at the Marine hospital. Fifty-six comfort bags wefe given to seamen. Seven persons asked prayer in the services. The requisite amount of gold, notes and silver in the new coins having been Imported, the time for the redemption of the demonetized silver dollar was fixed from Oct 15 to Oct 27, 1894, during which period the old money tendered in sums of $50 and under was exehangod at the prescribed rate for the new currency; for larger amounts deposit receipts were given and casheu within one month from their date. The demonetized "sols" were shipped out of the colony and sold for what they were worth, the amount realized being used to pay for the money that was substituted for them. Only about one-third of the number of the dollars demonetized has so far had to be replaced by the oolonial tokon money, the difference baing made up by notes which, being convertible on demand into gold, serve all the purposes of currency. 88.

Bonhenr's only piece of sculpture is a little marble figure of a ram, of which the design and workmanship are quite good enough to provoke the wish that she had been able to pursue two arts instead of having confined her energies to.one. Although Mile.

The men who vote to bring their work into competition with the work of foreign laborers must expect to bring their wages to a level with the labor of that foreign competition. They must not expect that American manufacturers can pay higher wages than are paid by foreign manufacturers, if the American product is sold for the same price as the foreign product is sold. To get up a strike for higher wages, murder "scab workmen" and destroy property, and then go to the polls and vote for admitting the products of foreign "scab labor" Is a species of lunacy which has no equal. We say to the men who so violently oppose the use of the army to put down riots: "Put them down yourselves." Tote to reserve American markets for American products, and there will be no cause for strikes to raise wages.
