Protection Does not Protect.

Protection Does not Protect
One of the greatest arguments used in
behalf of protective tariff is that it increases
the wages of the laboring man. We propose
TO show the tallacy of this assertion and prove
that Instead Of receiving higher wages they
actually get lower under the system OF pro-
lection.
The best way to do this is by comparison,
ard, by way of illustration, we will assume
that Grcenbrier COUNTY is small republic
like Switzerland, independent of the rest OF
the world. She makes her own laws and
shapes her own policy, having at heart the
best interests and happiness OF her citizens
suppose our County Court is the National
Legislature OF this little republic and cnacts
all the laws. Smith, one Of her citizens, is en-
gagged in the manufacture OF wagons. lie
cannot compete %itk those OF foreign MAKE
and asks the government for protection, which
is granted. 4 tariff of ;35 is levied on every
wagon OF foreign make that comes INTO the
republic. Smith Immediately raises the wages
Of his employees IS per nonth--the other
$50 he adds to the prices OF his wagons. His
EMPLOYEES are delighted. They think pro.
lection is glorious ,hing-so II would DC Il
wagons were the only thing protected.
By and by. pay day rolls around, and al! OF
Smiths employees draw their wages aud HE

THE LATEST CRANK.

He MdpS OHt a Terrible Time for This
Part Of the Ulicerse-FUL Your Cis-
terms.
A Cincinnati lunatic writes: The prob
abilities are so great that terrible
drought will be upon US this summer that
1 cannot refrain from urging everybody
throughout the land that have cisterrs to
fill them Immediately. My only object in
urging this is to help to mitigate the suf-
ferings of the people as much as possible.
All this misery comes from the wrath of
satan, who knowing his time is short and
that his reign is coming to a close, goes
forth to wreck and ruin the world before
Christ comes to set up his kingdom.
Springs, wells, creeks and rivers will be
dried up. The ocean food will be partly
evaporated by the intense heat, and will
afterward be precipitated on the United
States in the form of rain, hail and snow,
covering the whole land nearly with an aw-
full flood.
1 get these facts from a multitude of
scripture passages, which it would be i'm
possible to refer to in short article. One
or two must suffice: Amos vii, 4, says:
Behold, the Lord God called to contend
by fire, and it devoured the great deep,
and did eat up part"
Revelation xii, 14-16, shows that this
water Will be afterward precipitated upon
the United States in the form of a great
food. This is the. only place in the New
Testament where the United States is men
toned. 1t is referred to in this passage,
under the symbol of ''two wings of the
great eagle" An eagle with outspread
wings is our national emblem as all know.
Our lands referred to in several places in
the Old Testament under the name of
Tarshish. A dreadful time of evil is rap
idly setting in upon our country, as well
as upon the rest of the world. All who de-
sire to receive the help and protection OF
the Almighty in the perilous times of the
immediate future must live holy lives.

But if there is picture of desolatiop, it
is an oil town that has been left; that has

had cruelty put out the eyes of the old
town lest it should follow. The doors hang
IN crippled fashion on psralyzed hinges;
they have forgotten their old hospitality of
the flush times;" there is neither welcome
nor rejection in their half-open attitude.
but they look as though they stood aiar to
save the ghosts the trouble of hunting for
the keyhole. The dismal creak of the
walking-beam is succeeded by a Quiet in
fnitely more dismal. The merry SONG of
the rigger has ceased, and the voice of the
nomadic slugger mingles no longer with
the defiant shout of the rustler. The DIN.

forty years the mercury in Alaska had by
Russian record only twice gone below
zero.
An experimental barn has been COM
pleted at Amherst college. The large
stables have cement floors and sides, in
which cattle are to be kept while expert
ments in feeding are going on. The &C.
ment is to prevent any loss in manure.
Space is reserved for capacious silo, and
in an annex are an engine and machinery
for cutting and cooking feed. In wing
is piggery, consisting of twenty apart
ments, each with door opening into the
alley, and the porkers who are being tried
with various kinds of food will be invited
to stand upon portable platform scale
every day.
Among the many wreaths of flowers
placed upon the coffin of the late John
Brown were two contributed by the queen
and the Empress Eugene. To the MEM
orial wreath from the queen there was
affixed large mourning card bearing the
following words in her own handwriting:
ga tribute of loving, grateful, and ever
lasting friendship and affection from his
truest, best, and most faithful friend,
Victoria, R. II 1t is noted that the wreath
she sent for Lord Beaconsfeld bore the
words, "a mark of true affection, friend
ship and regret that for Dean Stanley,
"a mark of sincere affection and high
esteem"
4 number of men were carousing in
Candelaria, New, lately, when a doctor
named Martin interrupted the half-drunk
en- revelry by assuming grave tone, and
telling his audience how he might become
somebody if he could conquer his mania
for drink, but how he had tried in vain.
"Ah," he said, 'I'll leave the world; but,
boys, as a last favor, let me do so to the
sound of music" His friends summoned
some italian musicians, and while they
played the doctor took morphine. His
friends, who did not believe Martin was in
earnest, gradually left the saloon, and the
saloon keeper, seeing him so sound asleep,
locked up the house and retired. In the
morning the doctor was found dead.

Mr.. Cooper was always careful and
prudent business man. He was always op-
posed to the methods of many merchants,
who launched out into extravagant enter
prises on borrowed money for which they
paid exorbitant rates of interest. Once,
while talking about a project with an &C.
quaintance, the latter said he would have
to borrow the money for six months, pay
ing interest at the rate of per cent. per
month. "Why do you borrow for so short
a timer" Mr.. Cooper asked. Because
the brokers will not negotiate bills for
longer" ''Well, if you WISH" said Mr..
Cooper, II will discount your note at that
rate for three years" ''Are you in earn

Certainly 1 am. I will discount your
note for $4,000 for three years at
that rate. Will you do it?' "Of
course WILL" said the merchant. every

for $4,000, payable in three years, and
give me your check for $500, and the trans
action is complete" But where is the
money for me?" asked the astonished
merchant. You don't get any money
was the reply. Your interest for thirty
six months at 3 per centum per month
amounts to 108 per centum, or S1O,8OO
therefore your check for $500 just makes

orbitant price for the use of money was
such that the merchant determined never
to borrow at such ruinous rates, and
he frequently used to say that nothing
could have so fully Convinced him as this
rather humorous proposal by Mr.. Cooper
