WHEN they lind how rapidly hotiltU
is restored by taking Ayer's Snr
saparillu. The reason i.a that tin*
preparation contains only tho purest
and most powerful ■llniHiUsM and
tonics. To thousands yearly it proves »
veritable elixir ol life.
Mrs. Jos. Lake, Brockwav CVutro,
Mien., writes; "Liver complaint and
indigestion made my life a burden
and eauie near ending mv existence.
For more than four years I suffered un
told agouy. I was reduced almost to
a skeleton, anil harillv had strength to
drag myself about. All kinds of food
distressed me, ami only tho most deli
cate could be digested at all. Within
the time mentioned several physicians
treated me without giving relief." Noth
ing that I took seemed to do any per
manent good until I began the use of
Ayer's barsaparilla, which has pro
duced wonderful results. Soon after
commencing to take the Sarsaparilla I
could see an
Improvement
in my condition, my appetite began to
return and with it came the ability to
digest all the food taken, my strength
improved each day, and after a few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, I found myself a well
woman, able to attend toall household
duties. The medicine has given me a
new lease of life, and I cannot thank
you too much."

" My brother, in England, was, for a
long time, unable to attend to bis occu
pation, by reason of sores on his foot.
I sent him Ayer's Almanac and the tes
timonials it contained induced him to
try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. After using it
a little while, he was cured, and is now
a well man, working in a sugar mill
at Brisbane, Queensland, Australia." —

MARY'S mistake:.
Mary had a little lamb,
lis lleece was white as enow ;
It slruvi d away one summer day
Where lambs should never go.
Then Mary sat her quickly down
Anil tears streamed down her eyes ;
She never found the lamb, because
Bbc did not advertise.
And Mary had a brother John,
Who kept a village store ;
He sat him down and smoked his pipe
Aud watched the opeu door.
And as the people passed alon-r
And did not stop to buy,
Jchn still sat down and smoked his pipe,
And blinked his sleepy eye.
And so the sheriff closed him ou!
But still he lingered near.
And Mary came to drop wit h him
A sympathetic rear.
"How is its sister, can you UU
Why other merchants here
Sell all their goods so readily
And thrive from yoar to year."
Remembering her own bad luck
The little maid replies :
"Thoseother fellows get there, John,
Because they advertise."

FARMERS AND WAGE-EARNERS.
How a High Protective Tar ill Is Eating:
TTp the Farmers.
SPEECH
or
HOX. DANIEL W. VOORHEES,
of Indiana.
In Ibe Senate of the United States,
Wednesday, March 19, 1890.
The resolution submitted by Mr. Voob
nEES on the 17th of March was read,as fol
fows:—
Whereas the deep and widespread depression
and decay of the agricultural interests of
the American people, the enormous and
appalling amount of mortgage indebted
ness on ngricultural lands, tbe total
failure of home markets to furnish remu
nerative prices for farm products, the
palpable scarcity and insufficiency of money
in circulation in the bands of the people with
which to transact tne business of the country
and effect exchanges of property and labor at
fair rales, are circumstances of the most over
whelming importance to the safety and the
well-being: of the Government: Therefore,
Be it resolved. That it Is the highest duty of
Congress in the present crisis to lay aside all
discussion and consideration of mere parly is
sues and to give prompt and immediate atten
tion to the preparation nnd adoption of such
measures as are required for the relief of tbe
farmers and o'ber overtaxed and underpaid
laborers of the United States.
Mr. VOORHEES. Mr. President, there
is trouble at this time in the hearts and
minds of the farmers of this country.—
There is a deep, strong current of discon
tent, anxiety, and alarm prevailing in all
the farming regions of the United States,
and that current ie growing swifter, strong
er, and more threatening every hour. The
spirit of unrest, irritation, and reproach is
abraoarljurinjiiTgtUhe tillers of the soil to an
extent never before koowD—4& -AE&rfßaiT
history. The millions who plow and sow
and reap are being moved by a mighty and
concerted impulse to inquire into the causes
which have led to their present calamitous
and oppressed condition.
I propose, on this occasion, to aid them
to the extent of my ability in pushing this
most natural and Decessary inquiry, and in
securing an honest and truthful answer.—
The farmer is the progenitor of the human
race, and was the first to stand in the pres
ence of th' Creator and to receive from
Him the decree oi the divine mind on the
question of labor. From the farmer's loins
has descended the human family, with all
its widespread and far-reaching branches,
and wherever his dignity, honor and pros
perity have bee I ignored or trampled under
foot, there the worst forms of government
and the daikest scenes'of barbarism have
been found. God created a farmer to begin
with, and in all the ages since His blessings
have been most abundant and His civiliza
tion most glorious in the histoiy of the
nations and peoples where the farmer has
ranked highest, 31 d where his comfort, and
prosperity have been t..e greatest care and
chief concern of g vernmput.
The foundations of all human progress
are in the hands of the farmer, and are laid
by him as he asserts dominion by his daily
toil over the tremendous forces and illimi
table resouices cf nature. Who fails to be
fascinated by a contemplation of the com
merce of the seas? The thought is a most
inspiring one that at this moment tbe
richly-freighted ships of all the nations of
the earth are moving through all the oceans,
and swarming on all the coasts and into all
the harbors known to civ lizad man; and
yet all this mighty system of commerce,
traffic, and exchange is as dependent upon
the corn-fielda and wheat-fields of the
farmer as the fields themselves are upon
tbe dews and rains and sunshine of heaven.
How brilliant, wonderful, and awe-inspir
ing appear tbe great cities of the world to
the casual glanco of the unreflecting mind.
The ordinary traveler speeds on and on,
thousands of miles through farm lands,
gazing listlessly at farm houses and farm
productions, thinking nothing of the vast
fundamental lessons they teach, but look
ing eagerly forward to the problems, mys
teries, and wealth contrivances of the
crowded, Epeculating, stock-gambling city
which he is rapidly appronchicp; aud
tbat city would withe? and perish, shrivel'
back to a barren, naked beach; its wharfs
would rot, and its swollen corporations and
haughty millionaires would dwindle into
poverty-stricken skeletons, no better fed
than Pharaoh's lean kine, were it not tbat
the fountains of all its wealth, suppoit,
and grandeur are kept open and iuuning,
day and night, by the cultivation of the
soil in the great domain of agriculture.
Gilded palaces, baronial castles, marble
halls, colossal estates outrivaling in value
the richest dukedoms of the O d World, all
draw their sustenance from the bosom of
mother earth; their roots strike di:ep into
the mold that is turned by tbe plow, and
the farmer at last is made to pay for all. It
is estimated that over twenty millions of
tbe present population c-f tho United States,
counting all ages and both sexes, are en
gaged in the cultivation of the soil, and on
their productive labor, not only the Gov
ernment itself leans for support, bnt also
all other classes of citizens derive from the
same source their prosperity, their wealth,
aud too often their profuse and criminal
luxuries. Is it not well, therefore, iv the
present juncture of affairs, to turn away
from less importaut questions and lcok
carefully into the condition of Ihe agricul
tural masses, who bear the burdens and
constitute tho strength and glory of the
Republic.
Sir, it is now nearly thirty years since
the crisis of a terrible war gave to unhal
lowed avarice &n opportunity to prey upon
the self-sacrificing patriotism of tho coun
try and to plunder the laboring people of
their hard and hones', earnings, such as
was never before in the history of nations
presented to the basest passion and most
sordid and odious vice in the fallen nature
of man. In all the financial counsels of
the Government at tbat time, Mammon,
the demon of riches for the favored few,
seemed to presk'e and control.
Mammon, the least erected spirit that fell
From heaven; for e'tn iv heaven his looks and
thoughts
Were always downward bent, admiring more
The riches of heaven's pavement, trodden gold,
Than anght divine or holy else enjoyed
In vision beatiflo.
Nor (lid this evil god of il! gotten wealth,
this fallen angel of gie.id and lust for gold,
once a dweller in heaven, but now an in
habitant of hell, for a moment fall short of
bis delineation by Milton when, in his base,
hard, grinding, and oppressive spirit, our
j.. »Eot fii ~ncial system, with its many
i and widespread branches and its far-reach
STAUNTON, VA.. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1890.
ing and destructive consequences, was
organized aod enacted during the war. No
"vision beatific" of an unselfish patriotism,
of mighty, mustering multitudes, compris
ing ihe flower of the land marching to the
altar of self-sacrifice, and treading with
high heroic step and mien the wir.e-pro-3
of tbe battle-field; no vision of a TJnitp ro
Btored, a country united, and a flag fl.oatirjg
in the sunlight of peace ever for an instant
allured the thoughts or diverted the gaze cf
the American Mammon and his ignoble
conclave wheu they were engaged in laying
deep and strong the foundations of tho
plutocracy, the giant money power, wbich
now governs and curses this couutry and
its laboring people.
A system of finance has been fastened on
the American people with more hands than
the fabled Briarius, and eaoh one with an
itching palm to clutch the fruits of honest
industry for the enrichment of those wl o
toil not, uud yei outvie in splendor many of
ihe crowned hfads of Europe. Of this op
pressive system there are many pirts and
contrivances, all skillfully woven together
like a great network, and having all the
time the same object in view, tho taxation
of one class of citizens for the enrichment of
another class. It is sometimes said that
certain old sins of the Government r\ raid
not be recalled at this late day; that they
have tbe sanction of time, wear a venerable
aspect, and should be condoned.
When ministers of the Christian religion
cease to denounce tbe smsand crimes of the
human race because they are old, "hoary
and white with eld,"then, and not till then,
will tbe fraudulent manner in which our
bonded debt was doubled on the taxpayer
be forgotten; then, and not till then, will
tbe demonetization of silver be forgiven, and
then, and not till then, will a high protec
tive tariff, existing not for revenue, but as
a machine witb which to gorge, glut, and
cram the privileged few at the expense of
tbe many, cease to exasperate and inflame
the indignation of the intelligent laborers of
tbo world.
The tariff, with all its overwhelming pro
minence and its overwhelming oppression
at this time, is but a part of tbe vast system
devised more than a quarter of a ctntury
ago, whereby a moneyed aristocracy has
been created, labor degraded and deprived
of Its earnings, and the Government itself
revolutionised in substance and in form. It
is true that while the tariff ia only a part of
tho money-power system of Government,
yet its place and agency in that system are
of the most vital and commanding influence
in its execution. To take toll from all the
laboring met, women, and children of tbe
United States on all their wants and neces
sities, not for Government revenue, hut for
the protec'ion of the millionaire manufac
turers, powerfpl corporations, trusts, and
syndicates, is the base function of the tariff
laws now on our statute books.
Wbo has the hardihood to rise and say
that such laws are now or evei bave been
or ever will be a blessing to the farmer?
On the one band behold the present con
dition of the farmer, and on the other be
hold the towering peaks of tbe highest pro
tective tariff ever known, with perhaps, tbe
exception of the Chinese wall. Will you
dare go before the distressed farmers cf the
country in the approaching political canvass
with the old, stale, worn-out falsehood that
a high protective tariff is for them an ad
veut of joy, a rich benefaction, a reason of
prosperity, and of home markets at good
prices? Such ai4&4aUiia.veariDf 1890, like
H. rnilrderer's prayer, will stick in taraT^ErTTiii' 1
of him who triea to utter it. When yon
again push the tariff, witb its enormous and '
unnecessary taxation on every article of '■
farming life, into the farmer's weather
beaten and care-worn face as a wise policy 1
for him, will he not exclaim in indignation '
at your fraudulent pretense—
Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of
thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good
mil; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil
fruit.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit;
neither can a corrupt tree bring forth gooJ
frnlt.
Every tree that bringetb not for'h good fruit
Is hewn down and cast Into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know
them.
Ate you willing to have yonr tariff tree'
your protective policy, tried by this high
and immortal standard? The able and dis
tinguished Secretary of Btaie under the pre
sent Administration, in a recent magazine
article in reply to Mr. Gladstone, has point
ed out certain periods in American affairs,
when, as he claims, tbere was general pros
perity in connection with a protective tar
iff, and that therefore by virtue of the un
repeatable laws of cause and effect, prosper
ity was begotten by protection, and tbe la
boring people, tho farmers especially, were
blessed in their homes aod at their firesides
by being forced to buy what tbey needed in
a high-priced market protected from com
petition, and to sell 'heir products, what
ever they might be, according to the cheap
prices prevailing in the London markets
and in the other maiketa of the civilized
world where no protective policy is known,
and where the wheat and other great staples
of the United States are brought face to
face in competition for sale with the produc
lions of the serf labor of Russia, the Sepoy
servitude of the Ind.es, and the practica
slavery of other portions of tbe giobe
1 will not stop to controvert, as others
have successfully done, tbe Secretary's ac
curacy in his statement of historical facts;
I need not dwell on the past for the support
of my contention tbat a protective tariff is
a curso and cot a blessing. lam not deal
ing with a theory, but with a condition on
which even a blind man, by brief, primary
instruction, can look with unclouded vision
and reach an unerring conclusion. What
is the issue this day between tbe farmer and
the restrictions, repressions, and extortions
of a protective tariff? Tbat is the question
to consider; that is the question in wriicf./
American farmers are now everywhere
meat vitally interested. Are they gather
ing tig?, are they plucking good fnrts from
the po icy of their Government? I chal
lenge he advocates of tbo present system
ot protection to answer on this floor or any
where else.
The farmers of the United States are this
hour realizing, upoo a general average, not
mote than 10 cents per bushel for corn, 50
cents per bushel far wheat, 2j to 3 cents a
pouorl for hugs, a cent and a half to 2 cents
for fat cattle, aud ovon this low and almost
nominal rato of pricf I would be reduced to
nothing at n'.!, and tbe farmers would be
brought in debt if the expeuses of produc
tion as well as of transportation were taken
into tho acciunt. The compensation to
the farmer for the enormous and infernal
tax he has to pay under the tariff on all he
nteds aud all he uses has always baen the
loud, prolonged, and vehemeut promise of
an eagor, remunerative home market for all
be raised and wanted to sell. Where is
that home markei? The farmer is looking
for it, aud mourning because it is not to be
found. Home market! What lies have
been told in its name!
Tho ignorant charlatan and the design
ing kuave h»ve alike poured falsehoods iuto
the ears of the peop'o, assuring the uns'is
pecting.acd those of easy faith in the direc
tion especially cf their party ties,that home
markets are c eared and sustained by a
protective tariff, nntil now, after all these
years of deception and lucrative mendacity
ou the part of the money power and its ad
vocates, thousands of farmers, in different
parts of the country, owning aod tilling
lauds richer far than tbe Delta of the Nile,
are pointing in derison and scorn of all tar
iff protection to their st»ves and hre-places
as their o ly home market for corn. The
rich contents of corn cribs, the fruits of tbe
year's toil, have become cheaper as fuel
than wood or coal, aod as they mourafally
gaze on this great staple breadstuff turning
to ashes for want of a market in this laud
of railroads, rivers, and lakes, it would
seem as if all their hopes of relief at tbe
hand of the party now in power would per
ish i.. tbe same way.

"No, I do not think there has been a very
rapid change in public sentiment in favor of
women physicians," said Dr. Emily Black
well, as she talked with me about, the dif
ficulties which she and her sister, Dr. Eliza
beth Blackwell, had to contend with when
they established themselves in New York
nearly forty yoars ago
"The-chance has nos been a rapid one;
it has been very slow, very reiuctant, and it
ia yet far fiom complete.
"Yes, we did have trouble, much of it, in
establishing ourselves here. My sister, Dr.
Elizabeth Blackwell. preoeded me by sev
eral years. She spent two or three years
reading under the direction of physioians
and then applied for admission to the mcdi
oil colleges in New York, Boston and Phil
adelphia. But her application was denied
in every instance on the ground that there
was no precedent for such an action and
that it would be an improper innovation up
on established custom. But at. last a medi
cal school at Geneva, in this State, admitted
her, and she took her degree tbere in 1849
—the first degree in medicine granted to
any woman in the United States. She con
tinued ber studies in Paris aud London, and
after I had received my degree from the
school iv Cleveland we came here to New
York.
SOCIAL OSTRACISM.
"Did we meet with much opposition?
Well, we found it impossible to rent an of
fice, so strong was the opposition to the idea
of women practising medicine We had to
buy a house in order to get any place io
wbich to open an office.
' 'But there was never any unpleasant per
sonal experience. There was social ostra
cism, of course, and that was very unpleas
ant, and for a long time none but a few men
physicians would hold consultations with
with us. From the beginning a few emi
nent men, foremost among whom was Dr.
Willard Parker, rose above the prevailing
prejudice aDd consulted witb us aud advis
ed us just as with any young physician.
For the most part, however, the men physi
cians refused to recogmzsus, fought agaiust
us, sod a large number of the medical so
cieties threatened to expel any member who
oonsulted with a woman physician."
"And yet you say, Dr. Blackwell, that
all the change wbich bss come about since
public sentiment was like that has not been
a rapid out? Rather it it not wonderful that
it has been so great';"'
"No," and Dr. Blackwell's strong, kind
ly face, framed in its soft, white hair, took
a more positive expression, "No, there is
so much more that ought to come about,
that what has been seems almost small in
comparison. What women have gained has
been not by grace of popular favor, but by
virtue of hard work, persistent effort and
proved ability. And tbey '?g ,
■aSeTVsMHreaxiy air-that' their work ought to
have gained for tbem. The popular preju
dice against women physicians is still very
strong. You know that yourself."
"Yes," I admitted "I know numbers of
people whose aversion to the idea of a wo
man doctor is so strong that they would al
ways prefer any young and untried man
physician to a successful woman of recog
nized ability and reputation."
PUBLIC OPINIOW.
"And as long as that is the case," said
Dr. Blackwell, "we oan'c feel very com
placent aboat the change in public opinion.
Tne admission of women to medical socie
ties has come about so slowly, too. I think
tbo first was when I was admitted to the
old Journal Association, then tbe County
Medical Society, twenty-five years ago or
more, when Dr. Isaac Taylor was president.
Now women are admitted, I think, iuto
nearly if uot quite all the county associations
and to most of the medioal societies. But
it is only very recently tbat the doora have
been opened for them in those of Boston
and Philadelphia.
"Public hospitals are not open to women
physicians. They cannot hold positions in
them, tfcey cannot study as interns, they
cannot attend tbe clinics bold in connection
witb tbem, they are debarred from from all
of the many arid important benefits that
men physicians gain from these large pub
lic institutions. Iv private hospitals, par
ticularly those founded or supported partly
or entirely by women, tbey have all of these
advantages, but their exclusion from the
others is not only a handicap upon the ad
vanced work which they might accomplish
if they had the opportunity, but it is the re
sult and the proof of that large body of
hostile public sentiment which still exists
against them.
''This opportunity for advan.ced work in
medicine is the thing which 1 would most
like to soe women gain. They have dove
a littie, it is true —written a few books and
articles whioh have attracted attention,
done a little original work in extending the
bounds or medical knowledge. But they
could and would do much more if they hkd
the necessary opportunities for such work.
What tbey most need now is to be able to
prosecute post graduate studies in medicine.
There are many who have the ability and
tbe dosire to do this, aud when larger oppor
tunities bave been granted them tbey will
bo able to help in the woik of extending the
boundaries of medical science and throwing
light upon its dark corners."
A GOOD TIME COMINO.
"But do yon not think all this will come
about in time?"
"Yes, certainly, all io good time. We
cannot expect the world to change very
rapidly, after all. Il is going ou more rapid
ly now, sicca so many avenues have been
opened for tho higher education of women.
Thete movements are all linked together,
of course, and each shares in whatever ad
vance another makes. Tbe change his been
as rapid and as general as could be expect
ed, although it has been so Blow, and all ihe
rest that we wish for will come in time."
"What is the thing tbat is most needed
just now by women physicians?" I asked
Dr. Mary Put«am Jacobi.
"Unqualifiedly, admission to publio hos
pitals. It is an absurdity and a crying in
justice that I hey aro excluded from these
institutions that are supported by public
fuiids."
A RELIC OF PREJUDICE.
"Why are they excluded?"
"Simply as n relic of the old prejudice
agai'.st admitting them to the study and
praotice of medicine at all. Prejudices die
hard, aud this one has kept its life to the
very point wbere now it is of the utmost
importance that it should pass away. It is
impossible to keep women out of the mcdi
cal profession. There is a demand for their
services, and that demand must be supplied.
There are now several thousand women
physicians in tbe United States, and their
number is constantly increasing. It is
theiefore of the greatest importance that
they should have every facility for getting
tbe best medical education possible.
"But as matters are now, a woman can
not get an adequate medical education io
this country. If sbe wants to feel herself
properly prepared for the practice of her
profession she will haye 1 to go abroad.
There, of course, she oan get whatever she
wants. It is absurd tbat the United States,
wbich considers itself tbe most advanced
country in the world, should be so far be
hind the Old World nations io this matter.
If women could be admitted as interns by
competitive examination with men appli
cants to tha public hospitals where they
would have the inestimable advantage of
the large hospital practice the effect would
be very bp**efieial npon the standard of
, medical rducation for women.
j "Why, women cannot have positions «▼»•*
in the Woman's Hospital, simply because
the men physicians wbo are in charge will
not admit tbem. I believe two or three
have been admitted to tbe Blockley Hospi
tal in Philadelphia, but women students in
medicine have always been treated more
liberally in tbat city than anywhere else iv
the United States."
''And what would you say about the pos
sibility of advanced study and investigation
in medical science by women?"
"It is impossible iv this country," Dr.
Jacobt replied, as she quietly went on with
a chemical experiment upon which she was
busy, the intensity of her feeling upon the
subject she was talking about made mani
fest only by an occasional quick turn of her
small, compact and agile frame, or the ex
pression of her alert face aud the gleam in
her black eyes as she looked up from her
bottles and liquids and precipitates. "It is
impossible, no matter how well a woman
may be fitted for it by study, experience
and natural aptitude. At one time I was
in the faculty of the Post Graduate School
of Medicine, and Dr. barah J. McNutt was
associated with me for a abort time. Tbat
is lie only instance, 1 think, in which wo
men have been given any recognition what
ever in advanced medical study. But there
were no women students there. Neither
are they admitted at Johns Hopkins or the
Polyclinic.
AGAINST SEPARATE SCHOOLS.
"For my part, I do not believe in sepa
rate medical schools for men and women.
They may be taught in separate claeses, if
thought best, bring them together in the
same institution, rich enough to furnish
the best instructors, tbe best apparatus, tbe
best facilities of every kind, and tbey will
receive better training than if they are
taught, as they are now, in separate institu
tions, many of which are too poor to give
adequate instruction."
The Child or a Modern "Rocker."—
One of the great wants of the age is the
right kind of a oradle and the right kind of
a foot to rock it with. We are opposed to
the usurpation of "patented self-rockers."
When I hear a small boy calling his grand
father ''old daddy," and see the youngster
try to slap his mother across the face be
cause she will not let him have ice-cream
aud lemonade in the same stomach, and
holding his breath till he gets black in the
face, so that, to save the child from fits, the
mother is compelled to give him another
dumpling, and he afterwards goes out into
the world stubborn, willful, selfish and in
tractible, I say that boy wai brought up in
a "patented selfrnckor." The old time
mother would have put him down in the
old-fashioned cradle, and sung to bim
"Hush, my dear, lie still and slumber.
Holy angels guard thy bed;"
and if that did not take the spunk out of
him B*l6 would have laid him io an invert
ed positi n across ber lap, witb his face
downward, and with a rousing spank make
bim more susee tible to the music.—T. De

that since the fall of 1889 the world's de

ether countries to produce it, so that the
only result of our high tariff is to obstruct
our outrance iuto the foreign market. "We
alone of all countries are ia a position to in

indefinitely. With free trade in raw mate

South American Reciprocity.
If the report be true tint the deldgates
ftom the United States to the Pin-Ameri
can Congress are negotiating with the
South Arnortcan delegates for absolute rec
iprocity, it. is a matter of the first impor
tance to this country; and if the negotia
tions are successful, it will indeed mark a
new era in the commercial history of the
United States.
Owing to the uawiw aud vicious -tariff
laws which have prevailed in this country
for more than a quarter of a century past,
tbe rich trade of the Republics to the south
of us has been diverted from its natural
and legitimate channel, and instead of ad
ding the wealth and commercial importance
of tha United Slates, has been poured into
the lap of Great Britian. While we here
have been constructing a wall to protect us
from trade with the outside world. Groat
Britian bas, more wisaly, been utilizing the
advantages which such protection has giv
en her, and has been heaping up wealth
from sources which, by all the laws of na
ture and political economy, should have
contributed to the prosperity of this Repub
lic.
The trade of South America is a rich
plum, which the most thoughtful and long
headed of the business men and business
organizations in the United States have
long sought to gather, and it ia encourag
ing to see that substantial efforts iv that
direction are at last being made. If abso
lute reciprocity between the United States
and the Southern Republics be tbe outcome
of the Pan American Congress, neither sec
tion of this great American continent of
ours will have any cause for regret that it
assembled.— Richmond Times.
Man's Flattery of Woman.—l would
also advise young women not to depend
for happiness upon the flatteries of men.—
It is a poor compliment to your sex that so
many men feel obliged in your presence to
offer unmean"'ng compliments. Men capa
ble of elegant and elaborate conversation
elsewhere sometimes feel called upon at the
door of the drawing-room to drop their
common sense and to dole out sickening
fl i tenet. Tbey say things about yonr
dress, and about your appearance that you
know, and they know, are false. They say
you are an angel. You know you are not.
They tell you that "you are looking
singularly beautiful this evening," when
you know very well that the remark is
only a commonplace one. Some men think
that a conversation with a woman is in
teresting only as it is dotted and spiced
with flatteries and meaningless compli
ments. Determined to tell tbe truth in
office, and store, and shop, they consider it
honorable to lie to a woman. Tbe same
thing that tbey told you on this side of the
drawing-room, three minutes ago tbey said
to some one on tbe other side of the draw
ing-room. Oh, let no one trample on your
self-respect. The meanest thing on which
a woman cau build her happiness is the
flatteries of men —Rev. T. De Wilt Tal
