The experiment we baSy' made IN this
direction, and If Germany should adopt
a distinctively protective tariff the frst
result would probably be to compel a
very large migration Of her people to
this country 10 escape burdens too heavy
to be endured. Our own people have,
after prolonged stagnation Of industry
and great suffering, discovered the true
remedy for that glut Of home markets
and over-production In favored or pro-
tected branches of industry which Is one
of the results of protection. There has
been for the last three years notable
removal from the cities and manufactur-
isg centres to the land, which.is restora-
tion OF the disturbed equilibrium be-
tween agriculture and manufactures
This is one of the chief causes OF the re-
turn of better times upon which we are
now congratulating ourselves. Bn
European nations have no such remedy
at hand they lack the great areas o
cheap lands which are such a blessing
and safeguard to our people. Afte
all, the real difficulty Of old countrle
like England and Germany is that the!

Generals Scott and Taylor.

In recent lecture in New York,
Majr General James Shields presented
the following picture of Generals Scott
and Taylor during the war with Mexico,
in 1S46 and 1S47. "I'll never forget the
first time | saw the first cornmander-in-
chief of the American forces. i Giving
his cane a gallant twist) was u brave
young fop IN those days, aud as had to
report to the general l thought it was
right that shllld deck myself out in
the best uniform 1 could get, suppose
l spent my whole fortune, which wasn't
at that time and isn't now sufficient to
pay the national debt, in gold lace and
such like. Then marched to the Gen.
erals tent. Out came a man to meet
me. l shall never forget him. Il never
passed for handsome man myself, but
tell you | was beauty compared to
him. He had on an old linen tuster as
black as your hat, no vest and he wore
on his feet pair of shoes, that, like the
lrishman's brogans, he could never have
danced in. was for pushing him one
side, when he held out his hand and
said he was glad to see me! This was
old Rough and Ready General Zacha-
ry Taylor, as brave man as went into
battle and as honest a man as. ever sat
in the Viii e House. aF -
Now Scott was just the opposite of old
Rough and Ready in appearance, but q
kinder heart than his never beat in q
human breast. And he was a great gen.
eral. L remember how few Of us
younger officers planned to take the city
of Mexico. There was General Twiggs
and Beaurregard, who was then q
colonel, and myself and some
others, and we drew up plans. Now
Shields they said, you go up and SUBJ
NIT 1t to the General. So L took the
plan to Scott. He looked at it for a few
moments and then said sYes, you can
get the city Of Mexico according to the
plan, but after you have got it what are
you going.to do? You will be in prison.
You will have lost one thousand men
and the remainder of you will be pris-
oners to the enemy And then he took
the map and showed me just how neces-
sary it wonld be to hold Chepultepec be-
fore the capture of the city of Mexico
would do lis any good. L tell you this
anecdote to show you how much greater
a man Scott was than of us.

many years ago, . whole band of horses
were slain by his warriors. But here

the time allowed for the sacrifice was
rapidly passing, the old chief, in order
not to be defeated, selected a three year
old papoose, which he took from its
mother, and buried it in the grave Of the
deceased. The head Of the child was
left projecting aboveA the ground so
