Plan (State Chronicle.) We published yesterday au ex tracr. from Senator Vance'd speech in advocacy of his bill to give a re hate of Tariff duties on all who ex changed their products for any goodt?, wares and merchandize, ims ported into this country. In that speech he showed that such rcbdtf and advantages eie yiven t all Other iuteieats l.rotdes agticulf uie, and argued that every claim of jus tice demanded that the same favor I e showu to the farmers. From the same speech we make the fol lown.g extracts, which show exact y hw the farmers could take ad vantage of the proposed measuie, andbereiuit would briug direct relief. Be says: This amendment is intended and will operate directly iu the way of redressing to a very greit extent the grievances under which the ag ricultural classes have suffered. It is the simplest, speediest and most effective remedy I can devise, short of repeal of the tariff iuiquities, of which there seems to be uo present hope, lu the first place, it would equalize the wages which the farm er has to pay for labor with the wages which his rivals ali over the world pay for labor. There has been no pretense of doing thi8 heretofore. The great argument support of protection has been the difference iu wages be tween this country and the old countries. We have been told that it is absolutely necessary in order to maintain the high wages of this couutry that we should keep this tariff up and make it higher. But nobody has ever made any refer ence whatsoever, that I can remem ber, to the difference between the wages which the farmer in this country ba3 to pay and the wages which are paid all over the world in the production of his rival products. I venture to say that the wages which the farmers of America pay their hands is as much greater than the wages which are paid for the production of cotton and wheat and meat in other portions of the world as the wages which the American- manufacturer pays are greater thau the wages which the Euiopean manufacturer pays. Therefore, I say that this ameud nieut would tend to equalize the wages which the American farmer pays with the wages which are paid to those who produce rival products. If would increase large, ly the export of his products aud the demand for them. It would reduce the cost of his uecessary supplies to the extent of the rebate of the import duties which are here in proposed. It would reduce the taxation of the people and it woald increase the value of all farming lands in the United States and wouid give au impetus to all agri. cultural interests whatsoever. Groups of small farmers could com bine to ship their cotton, wheat or whatever product they had, abroad, and uu ihe bill of ladiug they could realize a premium iustead of bor rowing at 80 per cut. ot its face I value, as is nroDOsed iu a bill in troduced lor their benefit here sometime ago. That bill of ladiog would be worth more than gold by the difference in the duty on a car go purchashed by it and a cargo purchased with gold. There is no qaestioh of its constitutionality, no question of its practicability, there cau be no question ot its justice. Out of S45,293,b2S worth of ex poits which went abroad from our couutry in 1890, 629.785,917 worth were products of agriculture alone, leaviag for mining, forest, manufac turers, fisheries, aud all the other industries only $215,507,000. Now as agriculture pays 52 per cent, du ty on 488,644,000 of dutiable mer chandise, and as it pays its full share and more of the enhanced protected prices on at least hve times that amount of the domestic articles, all for the benefit of manu facturts, why not allow these far mers this advantage from the sale of their proaucts ! I challenge the production of single suggestion of bad policy that would prevent it. We give the manufacturers a market of 64,000,000 people by hih pioteetive duties, and we have aid- j ed them in every conceivable aud ) yc.o naj LV luc market. Now, why not permit the farmer with hi own products to win all ot theioreigu markets that he can by his own unaided compe titiou simpiy by withholding a part ouly of the bounty which is exten ded t manufacturers? This pro v'.siou tor h:a ticijrU inquires noth ing Ut be taken Iroui tue treasury On the contrary it will put more money iu the Treasury thau the preseut tauff bill. It ouly requires that you should withhold that much for him. It is useless to deceive him or tr to deceive him any longer with protective duties on eggs and split beans and cabbage heads end dried apples. It is useless to bait him any longer with free fiddle strings, skeletoue, accrns, saited guts, nut megs aud Zante currants. Temp ting as this bait if, the farmer prex fers to have cheap ties for his cot ton aud twine for the eheaves of plenty which he reaps from the eaith, cheap trace chains to pull his plow aud fence wire to enclose his fields, cheap blankets, cheap bagging for his cotton ceaptinwaie for household aud cheap windcWN glass for his house. Look over the fiee list Mr. Presi dent, and no impartial mind can a siugle solitary article which is ; largely imported of any particulrr benefit lo the farmer iu his busis ness. He will see every one of them either for the benefit of the! manafacturer. That is not right sir; it is not just, sir; it is almost, I was going to say, impiety itself to oppress men who, as the instru ments of the Almighty, answer tor us the prayer He taught us to utter: 4Giye us this day our daily bread." The Certainty of Immortality To my mind this is great proof of Immortality: Thy fact is that it is written iu human nature; written there so plain that the rudest nations have not failed to find it; writteu just as much as form is written on the circle, and exten sion on matter in general. It comes to our couciousness as naturally as the notions of Time and Space. We feel it as a desire; we feel it as a fact. What is thus in Man is writ there ot God, who writes no lies. To suppose that this uuiversal de sire has no corresponding gratifica. tion is to represent Him, not as the Father of all, but only as a deceiv er. I feel the longiug after Immor- tality a desire essential to my na ture, deep as the foundation of my Being. I find the same desire in all men. 1 feel conscious of Im- mnrtalitv: that I am not to die no; never to die, though often to j change. I cannot believe this de sire and consciousness are felt only to mislead, to beguile, to deceive me. Can the Almighty deceive His children ? For my own part 1 cau couceive of nothing which shall make me more certain of my Im mortality; 1 am no argumeut trom learned lips. No miracle could mate me more sure; uo, not it the sheeted burst cerement and shroud, aud rising forth from their honored toinbf, stood here before me, the diseuchauted dust ouce more en chanted with that fiery life; no, not if the souls of all my iies since time began came thronging round, and with miraculous speech told me they lived aud I should also live. I could only say, 'I knew all this before; why waste your heav- euly speech ? I have now indubi table certainty of eternal life. Death, removing me to the next state, can give me infallible cer tainty. There are a great many thines so true that nothiug can make them plainer, or more plain ly true. Ithiukitisso with this doctrine, and, therefore, lor myself ask no argument. With my views of Man,ot God, of their relations I want no proof, satisfied with pay own consciousness of Immortality.

There are hundreds of women to- jaav WDo bave never inarrui caU6e ot omfc special missiou in li(e L ther in their own families, or to the world at large, which they felt that they could better accomplish if untrammelled by domestic cares. By their self-sacrifice, these woman are hereoines; and the very last persona on God's footstool of whom jt-st should be made. Two of the sweetest women who hae ever honored me with their friendship, and with whom to come in coutact is like a benediction of goodness and grace, are addressed by the ti t'eMiifS."

Should such women be ridiculed ? Ah, uo! let us ruths er be the scholars of their ttach iugs, adapting the lessons they can often give us to our own lives. You and 1 may believe that it is tor the greatest happiness of all women that they should marry; but that is no reason why we should not res pect those who by their lives show that they have decided otherwise. Some of the noblest women of the past, whose very names recall the greatest tiiumphs in the world's history, uever married, and it needs no stretch of the imagination to be. heve that as good aud great women are living right amoug us to day as have ever figured in history.

H'oniaua .she Is at Thirty. Balzac has said that at thirty a woman is at her most fascinating and dangerous age daugerous to the hearts ot men. Peihaps no writer understood so well his own countrywomen as Balxac, aud uo one has contiibuted quite no mauy cynical allusions to the Hex iu geneial. But Balzac's criticisms would apply to a ceiUiu typo of woman, more seen iu France, let Ud hope, than in our own Amer ica. To the Uase man of the worhJ, the blu.-hiug dtbutante is peculiarly attractive. But it is the wo iau of thirty who whirls him iu a vortex of emotions. She has lived aud ex perienced, and she is alert to every fceusibility. She revels iu the part ot heroine; and thedisturbauces and agitatiuus ot which she is the cauie. She looks, upon the dainty creatuie of twenty as milk aud rosebuds so simple. She goes on indefatigably play lug her part, lu perfect kuowledge ot her uiianns, unlike the "young thing" by her side, she uses each to advautage. She kuows, through her well trained iutuitiou, the par ticular weakness qrandc yaasion, so to speak, ot each victim. Atd with great finesse, she becomes for the time, an enthusiast upon the saide subject, pursued, with well-. feigned sincerity, the same "fad," whether politic- or atbleiics, theos ophy or music from Beethoven lo Strauss she will always be found a devotee to each. Flattery iu its sweetest subtlety, satire in its keel est flashes are well at her tommand. For alas ! for her the time is rapidly approaching wheu she must range amoug the lookers-on; when he chill of autumn will usher in thi Indian summer.
