THE New York World gives this ad-
mirsbIe and complete definition OF Pro-
lection:
Protection, by a perversioD OF the
taxing power, rohs the great body OF
consumers for the profit Of few favor
ed producers. The cole object OF Pro-
teclion is to create artificial high
prices. The pig iron people want Pro-
lection in order that they may get a
higher price tor their iron, and 90 OF
the other monopo lists. The one sole
thing against which they ask to be
protected is-losO prices That is, they
want the community to pay them more
for articles than they would sell for in
a tree market. In other words, the
power OF taxation Is perverted TO put
money into the pockets OF few indl-
vidusls. Z.

A Long Farewell 90 ShslIsbsrger.


From the Columbus Journal.
The Springfield Republican says Shell
labarger's name was mentioned tor
United States Senator without his con-
sent, and that he is net an aspirant for
any office. We regret to say, also, that
the Republican was misied, and it misled
the r. pu olican press, into supposing
that Mr.. Shellabsrger had not drawn
the back salary. He has drawn 1t.
This case is peculiarly unpleasant, not
to say distressing-ss it places all Mr..
Sneilabarger friends iu the position OF
having based high toned moral senti
ments upon a talse foundation. We
tender shame faced apologies to all the
honorable salary grabbers whom we
have sought to humiIiate by holding up
the bright and shining example OF Mr..
Shrllabsrg-r. After this brief engage
ment in the moral lecture field, we
retire.

DO We Know for What We Pray!

1t was the Week of Prayer, and Jennie
Mason had gone to the little chapel where
met the faithful to miDgle their devotions.
"Oh." she sadly sighed, as she looked about
her at husbands by the side of their wives,
If only Robert were here if he only
sympathized with me in this" As prayer
after prayer rose, there was breathed from
the full heart of this wife, the earnest roti-
ton that this year her husband might con-
secrate himself to God.
That night there were hurried steps and
trembling anxiety Ia the home of the Ma
sons, for their one darling, little Bessie, lay
gasping with Group. In vain the agonzed
cry from the mothers heart to heaven for
its life On the third day, with little
waxen hands crossed on liieless bosom,
she lay before them broken idol. Itwere
useless to attempt to portray the grief Of
the fond but unbelieying father, the crushed
but believing mother. They laid away
their darling in the tomb; little robes and
toys were sacredly stored, and with aching
hearts they awoke that first Sabbath, after
their heavy sorrow. For the FIRST time in
many months, Robert Mason went once,
and again, to the house Of God, aud from
that day he sought and found the pearl of
great price.
No more sits Jennie alone at the place
Of prayer, or at the sacramental board.
But oh, at what price was this great joy
gained let those estimate who have laid
down their only child in the grave. Yet

A Child's Sacrifice.

My little children, let US not love in
word, neither in tongue-but in deed and
truth"
A child had beautiful canary, which
sung to him from early morning. The
mother Of the child was ill--so i'll that the
song of the little bird, which to the little
boy wss delicious, disturbed and distressed
her so that she could scarcely bear to hear
It.
He put it in a room far away, but the
birds notes reached the sick bed, aud caus-
ed pain to her long feverish days.
One morning, as the child stood holding
his mothers hard he saw that when his
pet sung an expression Of pain passed over
her dear face. She had never yet told him
that she could not bear the noise, but she
did so now.
ut is no music to me-" she said, as he
asked her if the notes were not pretty. He
looked at her in wonder,
"And do you really dislike the sound %
Indeed do" she said.
The child full of love to his mother, left
the room. The golden feathers of the pret-
ty canary were gistening in the sunshine,
and he was telling forth his loveliest notes,
but they had ceased to please the boy,
They were no longer pretty or soothing to
him, and taking the cage in his hand, he
left the house, When he returned, he told
his mother that the bird would disturb her
rest no more, forhe had givenit to his little
cousin.
"But you loved it so," she said, chow
could you part with the canary 2"

"but l loved you more. ! could not
