Walks in Childhood.
ny MRS. SIGoURNEY.

The years of my childhood passed away in
humble and graceful simplicity, loved the
shadow Of high rocks, and the free music of the
brooks in the summer. My heart was full of
gladness, though it scarcely knew why. then
found compnionship among the beautiful anil
tuneful things of nature, and was happy all the
day. But when evening darkened the landscape,
sat down mournlully. There was no brother
into whose hands might put my own and say,
"Lead me forth to look at the solemn stars, and
tell me of their Names" Sometimes, too,
wept in my bed, because there never must be a
sister to lay her gentle head upon the same pill

Often at twilight before the lamp was lighted,

RAILROAD TO THE PACIFIC.

The following are the resolutions adoptsd
by the meeting at Chicargo, held immediate
Iy after the adjournment of the River and Har-
Dor Convention:
Resolved; That we believe a Railroad
from the States to the Pacific TO be practical
BILE, and ultimately calculated to be of I'M
meuse benefit TO the United States and lis
citizens; thct with these convictions We recon-
mend an early SURVEY of the entire line by the
General Government, and that its final con-
struction and control be confined 10 swo,n
commissioners, selected by the State Legs
latures, or elected by the people Of the va
rious States, whose equitable distribution
Of the benefits and patronage Of the work
among the citizens aud laborers of the whole
country, may prevent it from becoming po-
litical engine or speculting monster.
Resolved. That we father recommend that
the said railroad may commence at som,
poin! on the line Of 'he Missouri nver
and thence run westward to the Pacific, over
territories under the jurisdiction OF the Cen
eral Government; and that one Of the earliest
measures iu connection with the said work

THE TWO IFFS-PROTECTION AS
IMPORTANT AS EVER.

Because we have made il a point of dirty an
editor to speak encouragingly of the price Ofwool
to prevent growers from parting with it at too re-
duced rate, we find the Woodstock Age, and
other loco papers, Selling upon the circumstance
to show the fllsity of Wing predictions in relation
to the tariff of 1916 and the uselessness Of any
tariff for protection whatever
There has, doubtless, been a time when high
tariff on wool WAS vastly r:orc important than The
present. When, asnow, fine wool in Europe could
be purchased at from IS to 80 cents and here ct
about the same, high duties were Of much les,
Importance as protection than when, as previous
to that period the domestic fleece WAS command
ing from forty to fifty cents. Still Us protective
tariff, that of 1912 was altogether more eiicent
than is that of 1916, and had it continued from
the confidence which it would have inspired III the
perlnanence of the law as then stood, would have
surprisingly multiplied factories and advanced tbs
price of wool much beyond the present value.
But to limit the benefits of the tariff to the du
ties on the raw material Is taking very naTroF
view of the subject The most efficient protection
to the wool grower is TO prevent the introduction
of the wooden goods which come in competioa
with those which might be manufactured At home
from our own raw material This annhilates The
home market where wool can be sold one-thri
higher than when sent to Europe. And ii DESTROYS
the market, not merely for the raw material but
for millions value Of breadStufls and other produce
which goes into the consumption of the tens OF
thousands employed i'll the Factories. For few
months past it is true the foreign market has been
even more than satisfactory to the largest expec
tations of the American farmer But the charm
is rapidly dissipating. With the prospect Of an
abundant harvest in Europe, and good one Il
home, breadstuffs are rapidly declining EVER
thing is assuming its natural condition, when IL
rope will furnish herself with her own eatabes' .
from proximity to the only market England VIII
compete us ont oft. The day is rapidly approa'h
ing when no other market will be LETT us but our
own. and when those who might be employed IL
the manufacture of the millions of E'brieks WHICH,
under the reduced tariff of 1876 will be lmpor@

And now, as proof of the rapid increase oil I'M
