Protection.


When speculation has run riot-when nominal values
have been unduly infated-when debts have oeen con-
tracted beyond the power of prompt payment Ii not o.
ana payment reaction must come just as surely Us 1e
day of settlement rolls around That much history ano
observation might have taught every one VINO mas any
senses at all and any reasoning powers 10 comohe the
facts which these senses report
We have had a crisis-not the first, by any means
ond 1n fear not the last At the close of each of these
nerodical yisations we hear the cry for protection
FIR HIGH duties-for discrimination in favor Of certain
interests at the expense of all other interests We hear
it now It resounds through Pennsylvania and the
States North and East Of that.
Now "protection as understood by those who clamor
for it. is partial in its operation 1t means protection
for manufacturers Itmeans higher prices for their goods
that all other classes must buy Is the agricultural IN
terest of the country so rich and ourshng that it can
afford to be thus taxed? Even now, under the low
tariff of the last Congress- consumption has fallen OIL
Indicating want of means to purchase-will raising
the price help matters?
But if the farmers would consent to pay higher prices
to the manufacturers the manufacturers would pay them
higher prices. Would they? and if they did, what
then? One thing would balance the other But they
would not. Everybody knows that, with prosperous
agriculture we could and would export produce. Ev
erybody knows that good crop with good return fol

position. Without foreign market the farmer would
be at the mercy Of the manufacturer.
1t is not that imports are now large, that interiors
with domestic manufactures. Imports arc small 1t Is
that consumption Of goods is reduced for the time being
Is this to be remedied by imposing fresh burdens on thu
consumer?

AnofIaar ERaJIoOn Inciflenf

On Friday last man named Wilson made an ascen-
sion from the fair grounds at Centralia Ill., in balloon
belonging to Brooks the 9rcnau He descended about
eighteen miles distant, at the farm of Mr.. Harvey
After the graphing irons had been made FAST Harvey
to his children, boy aged about four years,
and the other girl of eight years. placed them in the
basket and permitted them to ascend several times
as high as the rope would allow. Unexpectedly the
grappingron slipped from the fathers hand, and the
balloon, with its precious freight, was waited out of
sight The distress of the parent knew no bounds The
peril of the children he considered imminent for what
had he that they would not be borne into
dense forest where they would be overaken by hunger
before they would be found perhaps descend into
lake stream and be drowned? AS soon was posi-
ble an extra issued at Centraia, and the whole
neghbOrng country placed on the alert to watch for the
balloon and children
Saturday morning at day break, q farmer near New

discovered the baon suspended in the air. attached by
grapplng-rOpe to tree in his yard. lie Immediately
hauled the ballon down. and found the youngest child
awake in the bottom of the basket and the eldest
fully watching her little brother They had been
waited about by different currents of air throughout the
night, and had come to halt but little while before
| they were relieved
The story the girl told was that the balloon

She said she passed town where she great

of her voice. This was Centralia. The balloon was
to pass here but the people little imagined it
carried two persons in such danger Her little brother
cried with cold and the heroic girl took off her apron,
covered him and got him to sleep. In handling the
ropes she happened to pull which had the effect of
bringing the balloon down. and although not understand
ing the philosophy of the movement she quite con-
tent to keep the valve open, long by doing she
found she approached the earth.
The youthful aerial voyagers were in the balloon

that among the neghbors where they landed they were
the objects OF much curiosity and interest The girls

may we'll entitle her to remembrance while the incident
itself was of such remarkable character that opne
that it will not soon be forgotten in that section.
The boy and girl were conveyed home as soon as
practicable and it needless to say were received with
Outstretched arms.

writing this short paragraph we have been engaged in
terrific encounter with several specked fellows, looking
like Guincalow although not quite so arge-hence the
