that the doctrine of protection to American
industry, was the safe guard of the wages o
the werkingmen of the country.

Aurora BOrealis which has been most bril-

Geographic business. During the early por-

experienced upon the Northern and Eastern
wires, 'but later these wires became relieved
and the trouble was transferred to lines run

with electricity was the atmosphere that one
