Tie cry protect our infant industries

the east, is now threadbare and worn, but
SO long as the Americans are led by the
nose by every politician, the manufactur-
ers will continue to have their own way
in and out of Congress, and the working
class of the country will have to foot the
bill as usual. In the present state Of poll
itics nothing but blOodshed and revoiu-
ton will, apparently, rectify the universal
and damnable ,reachery of those sent
year after year TO represent the people
The late Tariff Bill was farce, a sop to

The Workipgman.

A cartoon in the \. Y. Graplic repre-
sents the workingmsn as he really is.
The nonopolist Senator snd bondh lding
Representative picture him sitting in q
home surrounded with every luxury and
where every prospect pleases-or words
to that effect, varying the monoicny of
listening to the piano and reading the
papers By going to the hank TO make q
deposit, or cut off cupans as the case u,ay
be. In point Of fact the workingman is
chained to treadmill, and makes his
weary round, day IN and dsy out, wearirg
the collar OF ser,itude. while he ploi-
dinghy but uninteruittiaely grinds out
dollars for the mnnnpolists. Into the
hopper are dumped life, liberty and the
pursui. of happiness. and out of it comes
more millions for the men who do not
need them-more misery for tie men

When completed, together with CON

trac,ed to be built, grading has been com
pleted $50 miles. Iron has been lad t. a
point within sixty-ons Of the Sissatche-
wan river. 4 portion of the last sixty
five miles has been graded, and reduced
crews have been Left at different points
along the ruclmpllte1 sections, so thai
work has not altogether been suspended.
The line is open for traffic west f'um
Winnipeg 935 miles. On the Thunder
B.y division, the road is operated from
Winnipeg to Rat Portage, i55 miles east
of Winnipeg The remainder OF tie dis
tsnce, about SO miles, 10 Thunder bay,
is being operated by the Canadian Gov
ernment contractors, trains passing over
the entire road tao times weekly. Con
tracts have been let upon tn Lake Super
ior section east from Prince Arihur's
Landing, and work Will bs continued
sin ultaneOusly along the whole section.
This eastern line is near the shores OF
Lake Superior, maxim, more costly
road, perhaps. than if the builders had
sought easier paths, but the facilities foT
getting supplies along the numerous
rivers which the road viii cross so helps
them in their Construction work rhat this
route vas considered the most feasible.
On the west the proposed point Of cross

Going down the great jackson route from
Grenada, Miss.,s regular old homespun native
of the State entered the sleeping car and
paid for berth. He had never been inside
of car o. the kind, and everything aston
ished him. When the porter came to make
up the beds l saw that the native was
greatly perplexed, bat as he made
no direct appeal it wasn't mr.
duty to post him. He was the frs
one 20 make preparations for bed. II
glanced aDxiously around, pulled off ont
boot. and then took a rest for five minutes
When the other boot came off he had solve(
the problem. Pushing his boots under the
berth he started for the rear platform, and
nothing was heard from him for about ten
minutes. Then he put his head into the
door and called out: "All you 'uns in thar,
look out, for Pm comingl' And come he
did. He had disrobed while standing on
the platform, made a bundle of his coat,
vest and pants, and as he shot into bed after
a run up the aisle, ne gurgled out: "Old
Mississip may be little slow, but she allus
