THE PROTECTION THAT DOES NOT
PRGkTECT.

The present condition OF the labor market
is causing very troublesome questions to be
put to that disinterested portion of the gen.
eral public who are so patriotic as to make
the protection of American labor" the car
dinal plank OF their platform. High prices
have made higher wages necessary to the
workingman; yet, while this is the case, he
finds lower wages in prospect. We build
railroads and construct steamships, that
transportation may be cheap; we invent
machinery and introduce chemical and
electrical improvements, that merchandise
of all kinds may be put on the market at
prices that shall enable all TO be customers.
Then, having done all these things to make
commodities cheap, we put heavy taxes on
great proportion of them TO make them dear!
Our policy proves successful. Prices go up.
High prices stimulate production, and ware
houses and stores are filed with goods
goods held at glorious high prices. But
high prices stop the laboring classes from
being lively customers, and high prices in
duce the great mass, the Comfortably
well-oi" people, to be sparing in their pur-
chases, and the result is a scarcity of custom
ers for the high-priced goods. The New York
Post correctly remarks that the monopoizing
protectionists shave refused to take account
of more than one-half the problem. They
have assumed that the mere making of the
articles was the end of the business. They
have left out of the question the selling of
those articles. Our policy encourages US 10
make, but it does not help us to SELL" Evil
IDENTIFY not, for buyers look out for cheapness
and the very basis of monopoly is dearness.
Here, then, is the position into which these
self-styled projectors of American labor"
have brought the working man, they have
assisted the drouth Of last year to make goods
dear, the dearness decreases sales, decreased
sales involve decreased demand for labor,
and this involves decreased pay for labor at
the time that higher prices demand higher
wages. To those who can reason, and who
have the independence of mind to do their
own thinking and form their own conclu-
sions, the present aspect of trade is demon
strative of the utter fallacY OF the protective
system. The very fact that that system is
built upon a plan Of making those commodi-
ties dear that mans skill, invention, capital
and industry have been employed to make
cheap, is evidence that the system is false
and therefore injurious. Every freedom
American has right to buy where he can
buy cheapest and sell where he can sell
dearest; half this right is denied by the pro-
tective policy, therefore American labor is
not protected by protection, therefore the
workingman suffers and complaints and
strikes are the consequence.

Of propriety find entrance, and the youth or

new WAYS and changed sentiments OF the

EAGERLY desirous that their children also may
be favored with similar training. l. it posi-

estate" If exercised years ago would have
saved our country's history some OF its
blacklist pages, and have left the American
name free of the dark deeds there recorded?
If so, let the slight beginnings of to-day be
extended. Let the money that is spent for
gunpowder and bullets go for school books
and training in the ways Of civilization. Let
the Indian have his personal property and
his personal right to appeal to the law for
protection, and let the influences Of civilized
life and christian principle be substituted
for those savage proceedings that the white
man has so extensively practiced while pro-
Tossing to abhor.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,

The object of the law in executing great
criminals is as much to shield the community
from the contamination of their existence as
il is to furnish warning to evil-doers gener-
ally. The common air is sweeter when MUIR
derers and assassins cease to breathe 1t. But
the torture and pain inflicted upon condemned
criminals subserves no good purpose, and
is not in harmony with the civilization OF the
age. 1t is strange that the world still cilngs
TO the barbarous custom Of putting men to
death by hanging. The scenes enacted on
such occasions are often disgrace to our
civilization. W. w. Rea was hanged at Pu-
laski on the 10th instant, and the execution
was a bungled and horrible job. 1t was sick
ening and revolving to read the telegraph re-
ports of the hanging of this man. He was
subjected to the most excruciating torture,
shocking to the immense crowd of
sPetS'ors. Three attempts were made be-
loAs 'Ne lob was accomplished. The victim

INDIANS AT SCHOOL


The Indian once held all the vast
country we now call ours. We have not
only taken from him his lands, and butchered
and scattered the game upon which he sub
sisted, but we have destroyed him with our
muskets and poisoned him with our whisky.
Those who now remain are confined to the
distant West, and daily they are crowded
tions, their NJ - of existence are annually
restricted, and when oppression and injustice
drive them to resistance the quick bullet
silenoes the sufferer, and the wrong-doer tri-
umphs. So the unchecked system of wrong
has gone on, so it goes on still. Solemn
semblies pass solemn censure on dancing and
listening TO operas, but Indian-killing ex-
cites comparatively little attention. The
degree between them is well marked by one
of them being spoken of as a thing you
should not do, while the other is a thing you
must not do. But better late than never" and
some christian hearts, especially among those
admirable people, the Quakers, have at length
aoitated until an effort is now making to try
whether civilizing and educating the In
dian may not be better and even cheaper than
shooting him. At the Hampton, Va, normal
school. a number of Indian children have
beeu submitted to the civilizing and edu-
eating process. The experiment Is a
snceess, of course, for Indians are human be-
invs like the rest of US. Take them out
from unfavorable surroundings; place them
,vbere civilizing influences bear upon them
from morning to night; teach them what the
earth is upon which, they live and what the
stars that look down upon them; let them
l-nov of the love of the Father of all, and
learn the divine lessons taught by His mes
senger to man; and let them feel real, warm,
unaffected sympathy yelling up toward them
from kindly human bosOms, and the Indian
is transformed. Like the epileptic who
dwelt among the tombs, arrested by the di-
vine voice of compassion, touched by the
iSFssistible outflow from loving hearts, he

School Commandments Abundant
CrOps-The State Debt settlement
The County Convention.

Special Correspondence of the Appeal
JACKSON, May 27.-Examination in the
various schools in this city is now the order
of the day. The closing EXERCISES of the
city public schools took place at Kings
Operahouse Thursday night, the 18th in
slant. The house was filed TO OVERLOOKING
with citizens Of the town and visitors from
abroad. The closing exercises of the South
western Baptist University takes place next
week. The week after the closing exercises
will come of at the Memphis Conference Fe-
male Institute. A great many visitors from
abroad are expected TO be present. Monday
night, the 29th instant, literary treat will
take place at the Baptist church. The an
nual celebration Of the Apollonian Literary
Society comes off on that occasion.
Farmers are cutting wheat all over the
county. We learn that the yield will be
larger than any year since the war. Our
people will all be blessed with plenty Of
cake.
Spring chickens, candidates and flowers
are plentiful at this time. The prospect for
an abundant fruit crop was never better in
the history of the State.
There is no little talk among the people Of
this county about the last settlement Of the
State debt. Nineteen out of every twenty
Democrats are bitterly opposed to the settle
ment, and think the people were outrageously
betrayed by their representatives.
A county Democratic convention will be
held in this city on Monday next, the 18th

mnIGkArIoS AND GOLD.

The New York Tribune is not Hurried by
the export of gold TO balance our trade ac-
count with Europe, in view of the immense
and increasing immigration, and thinks that
in the long run we made money by shipping
100000 in gold and importing 100000
sturdy workers in the month of April, for the
industry of the workers is worth TO the coun-
try many times more than the interest on
500 each every year. In fact, the CONNER
cial value of an able bodied working man or
woman cannot be easily estimated in a coun-
try like this, where incalculable resources are
undeveloped, and rich land can be had for
the asking. A thrifty couple, opening new
tarm at the West, may add to the wealth OF
the United States in a single year more than
any economist has ever estimated as the av-
erage commercial value OF a laboring man
and his wife Many of those who are COM
ing hither, especially this year, are skilled
workers in branches of manufacture compar-
atively undeveloped here, and few persons
who establish and build up new industry in
the country may easily be worth to it in cash
profits more than 8, 100000.

DOMESTIC ASPECTS
OF the Existing Tariff as Discovered by
the InfnifabIe Sunset Cox.

Mr.. S. S. Cox, Of New York, in the course
of speech in the House of Representatives
recently, brought out in detail some of the
more absurd points of the existing tariff
laws. He said: The little girl cannot play
with her doll, nor the boy with his top, nor
the mother wash her offspring with soap, ex
cept at an expense of from one-third to one
half of the cost for the domestic privilege.
[Laughter.l If the mother gives her child
castor oil, she pours down 143 per cent. dd
ualorenl laughter; if the child does not en-
joy the dose, there is a twenty-five per cent.
bowl as the recipient of the contents Of its
tender stomach. And though she wash it
with inter and take to it much soap, yet the
inquiry is marked before me, saith the Lord,
for the soap is taxed forty per centuml God

candy?
Mr.. Cox, of New York; am coming 10
that in a moment, my honey. Great laugh

bleached cotton night shirt, it has a night
mare of five and one-half cents per

the child awakes IN the morning she combs
its little head at thirty-fve cents dd uaIorenl,

it over Brussels carpet at ninety cents per

Pennsylvania (Mr. Kelley sews them up

its value. Laughter.l Why, if she used a
single to bring the little "toddling wee

man can recall, the cost would be enhanced
at the rate of seventeen per cent. taxation.

If the youngster has patriot inclination
