THE WORKING men Of the West, not that
anomaly ina free country, the workingman's
party. hu; the men who really labor for
t:ieir support, the toilers for bread and
meat. are at length learning the true lesson
that protection doesn't protcct--docsn't
protcc hem At least. They sec ~
the cen-us returns that though the pre-
tcctioni7;. have had full sway for
for the last ten years, during that time the
price OF labor has fallen, but that there has
been no corresponding fall in the price of
the neccssaries Of life. They also know that
the protected manufacturers who were rich
enough III become monopolists have greatly
increased their wealth, and are enabled 10
keep high salaried agents at Washington TO
lobby for 4 continuance Of the present tariff,
and with authority to drawn Oh them for
money that may tie placed where il will do
the mos, good in the furtherance Of their
object. They see that while they have not
d. much money for Christmas now as they
had ten years ago, the manufacturers for
whom they have worked during that time
have grown wealthy, and the idea has at
last penetrated their brains that while pre-
tecticn may br conducive to the individual
prosperity rf the protected monopolist, il is
just the reverse with the hands he employs,
who. with The same or less wages than they
received ten years nSo, have, by reason of
this protection, to pay the same or higher
prices iur every thing they consume.

THE USELESS MISSION.

We are said to be on the very best terms
with England; but when Mr.. Lowell meek
ly asked the reason why several respecta
BILE Irish-American citizens had been i'm
prisoned nearly year without hearing
of any kind Lord Granville snubbed him
with the curt and contemptuous answer
that in no case could information be given
beyond the statements of the warrant OF
arrest"
Now, these citizens may be held wholly
on charges of perjured infermers or of
hired spies, without an opportunity of de-
fence or relief, and with not the least pros
pect of redress SO long as the government
refuses to bring them to trial. While Lord
Granville insultingly declined to give any
satisfaction to our Minister, and while Mr.
Lowell complacently poeketed the affront
and officially declared il to be sufficient for
him against any further application on be-
half of our citizens, the outraged prisoners
from their cells denounced the allegations
in the warrants as false and fabricated.
This very unpleasant experience illus
trates the absurdity of maintaining mis-
sions merely to crafty the vanity of per-
sons whose first ambition is to gain favor
at the courts where they may reside. An
American Minister who is unwilling to dis
turb social relations by the least assertion
of American manhood or By any defence of
American citizenship ought to be called
home.-Nesc York San.

Then she remembered that an express

high bridge over the Des Moines River had
to be crossed on the ties-an easy thing to
do in calm daylight, but perilous in stormy
darkness Hates light was blown out, and
the wind was so violent that she could not
stand. So she crawled across the bridge,
