PROTECTION AND STRIKES

THE st. Louis Republican has an
admirable article upon the point that
when the eastern manufacturers go
before congress asking higher rates
oftariff on foreign imports similar to
what they produce, that they always
appeal for aid to laborers of this
country by opposing competition
from abroad. They argue that
American labor ought to be hber-
ally paid f; that American operatives
will not work as cheap as operatives
do in England, France and Ger
mnny, and they ought not to be re-
quired to that congress ought to so
adjust the tariff as to keep up the
price of home labor aud place it be-
yond the influence of foreign pau
per competition that high duty
ought to be levied on foreign manu-
factures to enable the employers to
pay high wages to workmen. 1t is
urged as a little singular that the
strikes of laboring classes for living
wages take place in the very manu-
featuring districts where this argu-
ment comes from. Manufacturing
capital and labor in New England
appear to be drifting into a condi-
tion of settled hostility. There Is no
sympathy between them. They are
almost necessarily at war. The COM
plant of the factory operatives is
that they are not paid living price
for their work. When they de-
mand an advance they are re-
fused and when they strike the very
first thing which these manufactu-
rers, who profess to be so anxious to
secure good wages for American
labor, do, is to import Canadians
and Italians to take their places at
cheap wages. The census of 1880
shows that manufacturing in the
Eastern states is a very profitable
business. The steel-rail makers
earn dividends OH their capital of
seventy-five per cent, and there are
few kinds of manufactures that do
not pay twenty-five per cent. Their
fabrics are protected against foreign
competition by duties of thirty-five
to one hundred per cent, the theory
being that this protection shall be
fairly divided between the manu-.
featuring capitalist and his opera
tives. But the capitalist puts the
whole protective element III his
pocket aud refuses to divide with his
operatives. The tariff enables him
to sell his fabrics for price thirty
five to 100 per cent higher than he
would be forced TO sell for without
the tariff. But instead of giving to
his workingmen their fair share of
this advantage in the shape of in
creased wages, he appropriates it all
TO himself and screws the laborer's
wages down to the lowest possible
notch. Every labor strike for higher
wages in the manufacturing districts
of the east supplies new proof that
the protected capitalist has no other
concern tor home labor than to Sc
cure IL at the cheapest price. And
these are the reasons why there is
this fierce cry against high protec-
tive tariffs. 1t is the work of the
Republican party, granting such
privileges to the manufacturer as
will enable him to add money to
election corruption funds that keeps
the Republican party in power. Can
the people of Texas assist in this
nefarious purpose?

[Tenderly inscribed to Georgia's dying
senator, by John w. Campitt, of Illinois,
| counsellor at law.
1 am weary OF my burden,
And fain would rest;
For the sombre winds are sighing,
And my fondest hopes are dying,
And like autumn leaves are lying
On earth's cold breast.
And hear the voices calling,
Sweet, soft and low;
And their painful tones are pleading,
While the day OF life is speeding,
And worldly scenes receding,
For me to go.
Come with us across the border-
Seek rest profound;
Where no sombre winds are signing,
Where no hopes and Joys are dying,
Where no dream of love is lying,
Dead upon the ground.
We will show a light bright burning,
Like golden star;
IT'S hope you one day buried,
In the busy world all hurried,
But became the resurrected,
To shine thus afar
We will show you Heavens morning,
A never-ending day;
w uCiC buC bOlbcbI rays hIt
And the blossoms sweet entwining-
Where the angels are divining
Every thought upon the way.
Every leaf upon Its shore-llnes
Is gem'
Not wi,nered one is dropping,
While the hand of love is looping
And into garlands grouping
All of them.
In that world there is no sorrow,
Not tear;
Never comes the broken-hearted
From whose eager life departed
The hopes that once had started
Fond and dear
Not storm-cloud ever gathers
On the air;
Only summer clouds are drifting
And summer breeZes sitting,
And sweetest perfume lifting,
From gardens fair.
Only music soft and melting
Soothes the soul;
And its billows mild and wooing,
With gentle hand undoing
All the cares that were bestrewing
Each earthly goal.
Lead me to that land OF beauty,
So 1 may abide;
Lead me where the flowers are blooming,
Where the music wild is wooing.
Where the hand of love Is moving
On every tide
Like little child I'll follow
Swift after thee;
To the land OF never weeping,
Where my fathers love IL keeping
Mortal souls who failed in reaping
Earthly ecstacy.
will take my burden for pillow,
And lie down TO rest;
Gods love shall dwell beside me,
And no clouds shall ever hide me
From the loving ones that guide me
To the portals of the blest.

Cabbages and Sauerkraut.

The demand for cabbages constantly
increases in this country, while the sup
ply is diminishing. A few years ago
many farmers raised cabbages as II field
crop for supplying their cattle, sheep,
hogs and poultry with fresh food during
the winter season. They were very
cheap, as the seasons were very favora-
BILE to their growth, and there were few
insects that troubled them. They were
often sold in the vicinity of this city for
one dollar per hundred in the fields and
gardens where they were raised. But
recently the seasons have been unfavor-
able to the growth of cabbages. and the
imported cabbage-worm has made sad
havoc with those that were raised.
Cabbages have sold as high as ten dol
lars per hundred in this market during
the present season. During the past
week sauerkraut imported from Ger
many has been sold on the market.
Both eabbages and sauerkraut from the
same country have been sold in eastern
cities. The large increase of German
population, the number of our native
population that have learned to eat
sauerkraut, and the amount of cabbages
required to supply oyster saloons have
increased the demand for the vegetable
that was at one time so abundantly pro-
ddced. The demand for them is large
and promises 10 remain so. Cabbages
can be shipped as easily as potatoes,
and can be kept over the winter with
less trouble. Sauerkraut is as much an
article of commerce as canped fruit, and
can be manufactured 10y farmers and
shipped to cities to most excellent ad-
vantage. 49, CHICAGO Iinles-

Ancient and Modern Luxury.


Some startling Instances of extrava-
gance and prodigality are given by the
writer of an article on "Ancient and
Modern Luxury" which appears in the
new quarterly. sFrom the days when
Lucullus spent FL 400 on a supper, and
Caligula swallowed jewels, to modern
times, when a certain Chinese lady is
said to have rented an island for the
special supply of birds nests for her
soup, the story is the same. Alcibiades
gave f250 for a dog; and Augustus
states, as a title to gratitude, that he had
exhibited 5000 gladiators and given
$500 beasts to be killed. Lolita Paulina
wore a set of Jewels valued at f400,0 900
and Nero's diadem cost half a million.
The Due de Bourbon sold his coat for
5000 gold crowns. A chateau for Nine.
de Montespan was only erected for p
SOL, 728 livres. The Due de la Torres
gave $4,000 crowns for a horse. The
household expenses of Louis \VI. were
enormous; his sisters were said to have
burned candles costing 2l5,06S livres in
year. The outfit for an eight days
visit to the Compiegne Court of Napo-
leon III. was l2,000f. In England the

moderation. 1t is true that f3, 900 may
be spent on flowers for a dinner; but
still their exhibition gratifies taste. The
conclusion at which the writer arrives is
that if the fancy and sense of beauty are
never to be advanced the higher facul-
ties will become torpid. Grace without
wants, race without ideas. Who thinks
of Sparta when we speak of Greece "A
thing of beauty is a joy forever and the
creations of the age of Pericles are a

Rather Enti,usiastic.

The Wilmington (Del) Daily Repabiica,.
lately contained the following item of popular
Interest," DR.. j. +. Speck, who is connected
with the Wilmington Every Evening, speaks
rather enthusiastically of St. Jacobs Oil. DIR.
Speck states that he uses the Oil in his family
as a household remedy, a sort of universal
panacea for all aches and pains, and has al
ways found it to act most happily. His atten-
tion was called to it by the many testimonials
in its favor, and he one day used it upon him
self for sore throat. Two applications were
sufficient to effect a cure. He also used it on
his little girl for sore throat with gratifying
success. The same child had scarlet fever this
winter which left the tendons of one leg much
contracted. The little prattler couldn't walk
without assistance and suffered much incon-
venience and pain. Several applications of
st. Jacobs Oil restored her limb to its normal
condition and she has not experienced any
trouble since. DR.. Speck states that he has
also seen the Oil act charmingly in toothache.
He thinks st. Jacobs Oil is a sterling remedy,
and does not hesitate to recommend it for
rheumatism, etc.
