Begging your pardon, but it was not written
from high protection standpoint. We have not
spoken in favor of any higher protection than is
actually necessary to protect American indus
tries from the ruinous competition Of starvation
wages paid to laborers in Europe. But we did
say that the greatest difficulty in frequently and
properly adjusting the tariff to meet the emer-
gencies of the times, arose from the fact that

SUPERsTITIoS-Nueh Is said and written Of
superstition and supersiitions people. There
are those who profess to he free from all such
foolishness, aud express a contempt for those
who are superstitious. OF course, there are de-
grees and extremes in this matter, as in all 9TH
ers; but We have long been quietly making OBJ
seryations, and believe we can safely hazard the
assertion that there is not a person living, or
who ever did live, that is OF was wholly free
from superstition. lau may take the whole
range Of humanity, from Bob lngersoll down TO
the most ignorant Youdoo sorcerer. There is no
person but at times is influenced by some feeling
that he cannot explain or account for. and
which he would publicly repudiate, bat that
has hold upon him. nevertheless. The man
who actually and totally disbelieves ip ghosts,
yet feels queer sensation when passing through
a graveyard at night, is tinctured with super
stiton. So is he who hestates about nndcrtak-
ing something on particular day, for fear of
bad luck; or notes how he happens first to
the new moon; or is impressed by some coinei-
dence, or sign, omen; or believes that a GER
tain way of beginning or doing a thing brings
luck; or sets store by some trinket or bauble, as
possessing some mysterious influence; or is dis
turbed or elGted by a dream; or hesitates about
doing something, because it would have been
displeasing to a dead relative-in short, there
are thousand little incidents and instances, in
which there is reason common sense, by
which every person is more or less Influenced
affected, and all Of which is superstition. We
say that no man living is without some supersti-
tion. Let him who thinks he is. watch himself
closely, and if he doesn't catch himself doing
