Indiana. For each of the %, 600 houses
annually erected, the average cost OF
glass win be not less than $40, upon
which the tax is fifty-eight per cent. The
average cost for locks, bolts, hinges.
sash-locks, sash-weights and nails will
be $40. These articles are taxed thirty
five per cent. The cost of white lead
and paints viii average per house, $50:
These are taxed fifty -four per cent. And
the tin required for each house will
average SIS, and this is taxed twenty
four per cent. And the average cost of
galvanized iron per house is estimated
at $40, which is taxed thirty-five per
cent. To enable our readers to compre-
bend the amount of tariff tax paid
annually by the people of Indiana on
the houses erected. we introduce the
following tabulated recapitulation:
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1882-01-19

Here we have for articles which cost
$3.50, tariff tax of $568 a tax which,
when laid upon the 25, 900 houses annu-
ally built in the State of Indiana,
amounts to the sum of 81, 421, $50 q
year. In these estimates we have stud
iously kept largely within the limit of
fact-indeed we have omitted such ar
ticles as nantes and chande.iers-as
also all references to repairs and build
ing. We have also omitted the expen-
diture annually for plate-glass, which
reaches in Indiana about $780, 900
year, upon which the tax ranges from
60 to Ill per cent. Were these
items included, the annual tariff tax
paid by the people of Indiana in the one
item of building houses would come well
up to $2,OOO,OOO. Protectionists and
are in favor of perpetuating
this enormous burden of taxation, which
goes to enrich the few. The demand is
that this burden shall be reduced; that
the tax collected shall go into the
Treasury, and not into the pockets of
The people of Indiana are
becoming earnest in their protests.
Those who want protection viii be re-
quired to come out boldly with their
scheme. They viii be required to state
the character of the monopoly they pro-
pose to protect. Glitering generalities
won't do; quoting from ancient history
won't answer the demand. The Con-
provides for tariff for revenue,
not for protection, and the time has
come for facts; fiction has had its day.

How to Roast q Turkey.

The secret in having good roast tur-
ker is to stuff it palatably, to haste it
often, and to cook it long enough. A
small turkey of seven or eight pounds
should be roasted or baked three hours
at least. A very large turkey should be
cooked an hour longer. After the tur-
key is dressed, season it well, sprinkling
pepper and salt on the inside; stuff it
and tie it well in shape; either lard the
top Or lay slices of bacon over it; wet
the skin, and sprinkle it well with pep
per, salt and flour. It is well to allow
turkey to remain some time stuffed
before cooking. Pour a little boiling
water into the bottom of the dripping
pan. just before taking it out Of the
oven put on more melted butter, and
sprinkle over more -four; this will make
the skin more crisp and brown. While
the turkey is cooking boil the giblets
well; chop them fine and mash the liver.
When the turkey is done, put it on a
hot platter. Put the baking pan on the
fire, dredge in little flour, and when
cooked stir in little boiling water or
stock; strain it, skim off every particle
of fat, add the giblets; season with salt
and pepper.

The Yawp Of an Ohio Ham.

As bear robbed of her whelps, so is
an Ohio man after be has been torn from
an Office, except that he then proceeds
to act, not like bear, but like an ass.
One Alfred E. Lee, for his merits and
qualifications as Private Secretary to
Governor Hayes, of Ohio, and as aman-
uensis during the campaign when that
gentleman was candidate for the Pres
idency, was made Consul General to
Frankfort. There was not the slightest
pretense that he had any other special
claims or qualifications for the place.
He knew little, if anything, of the Ian
guage; he had little, if any knowledge
of business, and there was not the slight
est assumption that he in any way served
as an example or witness to the Civil
Service Reform that Hayes pretended to
coddle and finally strangled.
At the end of the four years another
Ohio man wanted the Office, and Gar
field, with equal disregard of Civil-Serv-
ice Reform, gave it to him. By that
time Lee, SO he says, had learned the
language and become acquainted with
the duties of the office. Doubtless the
service would have been benefited by
keeping him, and for that reason he
ought to have been kept. But the good
of the service and the welfare of the
country are not the tests of appointment.
His successor was appointed for the
same reasons that Lee was-because he
was an Ohio man and because he want
ed the Office.
At this, Lee, having come home,
whines like baby; barks out in the
papers that he has been badly used;
hints that Garfield in removing him
must have been :" crazy;" even as Gui-
teau claims that he was, in removing
Garfield; that Garfield already showed
signs of not being himself when his doc
tors ordered him to take that journey to
the White Mountains, which Guiteau
cut short. In no other way can Lee ac-
count for the displacement of so useful
an Ohio man as he was by another Ohio
man who hadn't learned the German
language by living four years in Frank
fort, but took to it naturally by virtue
of his being born of German parents.
Moreover, fifty of the leading men of
Frankfort gave Lee, on leaving. a silver
service, which q bad man in the New
York Custom House seized and still
keeps in default of $3.50 unpaid duties,
which leads the bounced Ohio man
to cry out: "When my country lays a
tax on testimonial of respect, feel
that this is hardship to me and an in
suit to the givers." Hereafter, perhaps,
we may count the removed Consul
among the free traders.
The amount of noise and discussion
he has contrive6to make over the whole
affair recalls the anecdote of the rene
gade Hebrew, who was standing in the
door of restaurant where he had just
dined off spare-rib, when crash came
a. bolt of lightning and a peal of thunder
ure at his betrayal of his faith, he ex-
claimed: "My, what fuss about a
little piece of porkr'
If Lee had only taken as elevated and
public-spirited view of the Civil
Service four years ago as he does now,
he would not have asked for the Con-
sulship at Frankort.-DetroI Free

THE OLD FIREPLACE.

To sit in the old, old fireplace,
And while there sitting gaze
Gas we muse on the things departed)
On the rudy, sparkling blaze!
What treasures held the ashes
Where the corn popped forth so white;
Or the chestnuts burst their jackets
With cracklings of delight.
How the steaming, bubbHng candy
Its waves of sweetness rolled,
And gladdened eager watchers
With its skeins of hand spun gold.
Twas there the red checked apples
Would get quite up tree,
Or sang melodiously.
Then the lead in the shovel melted
Could furnish cheap made toys,
To draw forth youthful fancies;
How dear the homely joys!
In the red and crumbling embers
Who could discern q face,
Or trace out bridges, castles,
In their ever-changing grace;
Or list to stories of fairies,
Till the little elves before us
Seemed all alive again.
Talk of your stoves and ranges!
The children know not now
To watch the firelight's changes
And the silhouette shadow show.
oh, the joys OF times departed
Were not the present joys!
Then the good and simple hearted
Long time were girls and boys!
Now the crowd of youthful faces
Wear mems and women's airs!
And the rosy, artess graces
Now the costly playthings furnish
Scarce a thrill of the old delight
