4 SHORT COLD WINTER.
HsRBOr'S Latest Prediction Concern
ing the Present Season.

The Cincinnati Commercial pub
fishes the following letter from the
famour Canadian prognostcator:
Montreal, Canada, Dec. II, 1882.
Since June last 1 have steadily ad-
hered to my belief that December
of 1882 would give intense cold and
wintry weather in America, Britain
and Europe and 1 am proved
right. When the fine, warm October
was experienced my impressions re-
specting December were turned into
a certainty while all ether prognosti-
Gators Gncluding your Washington
Weather Service) continued their
open weather forecasts. Now, you
will find that there will be very
stormy ending to 1882 egey5Uhe,e.
Snow blockades will probably occur
in Great Britain and France as well
as In other quarters Of the. globe
Intensely cold weather travel to re.
mote southerly points, and in the
far West and Northwest. Lowei
thermometer reading will yet be re.
corded for 1882 than for any prev
Gus year in a long period of time
But winter, on the whole, will
be short, being all condensed int,
its fore portion. There will be Q
great "break up" in January before
the middle of the month, and prob
ably after the first week of thai
month.
At the time Of writing we ars
having cold weather and heavy snow
falls here, with good sleighing, whilt
last season our first sleighing dated
from the 5th of January. We ha,
very similar weather during tn,
autumn of 1875. Waters closed a
the end of November, and December
continued very cold up to its middle
after which mild weather and rain,
set in over the continent, and we hat
spring weather in January. Tn,
present weather is acting that Of 1875
over again almost to a day. l Sc,
nothing unusual respecting the Marcl
storms. Yours faithfully,

To husband out hfe's taper at the close,

I still had hopes, for pride attends us still

The STRENGTH OF The PR0TEC-
TIVE SYSTEM.

Professor Perry, the great writer
ON political economy, recently de-
liyered Il lecture on the tariff, at Des
Moiues, Iowa. In the course OF his
remarks he spoke Of the strength OF
the protective system as follows:
If you will tell me what const-
tutcd the strength of the river and
harbor bill | will tell who what is
the strength of Il protective tariff.
Logically its strength lies in this in
tcrcst here and that interest there.
Because it is not repealed is no indi-
cation that it is right. The country
is steeled against great steals the
voice of the people was solid against
the passage of that Ubiquitous meas
ure appropriating SO many millions
to be mostly squandered on small
creeks; vet it became a law. Was
it right because it passed? Public
opinion does not sanction a protec-
tive tariff any more than it does the
river and harbor bill. There is Nc
intelligent candid public opinion IN
favor of the tariff in this country
/ There are those who would, if they
could like to see is go, but there
are none who dare stand up and de
fend it in public debate. Congress
does not reflect public opinion. The
average member has to gauge his
public action to conform to the ap
