He worked for half al hour, and then
he was fed. After he had finished he
said to the farmer:
"Now, give me quarter for chopping
wood, and we'll be square,"
"But I gave you your dinner" said
tho farmer.
II don't work for my victuals. I
work for money when work, and tho
victuals Is bonus"
"WeIl, I won't pay YOU"

I know the law. Work means money,

of time; but I'll havo you before the
courts, If you don't fork 0ver."
The farmer at length paid the quarter,
but he angrily protested that he would

cred his faculties. Over 20 years of his
life were a complete blank, but al reason
resumed her sway recollections OF the
past began to dawn on him.
short time ago he remembered
his brother in Wilmington, and
wrote to him. The letter was great sur

WAS dead. Henry at once came on to
Lexington to see his brother. The meet

The canning of fruits and vegetables
in Pennsy lvania, New Jersey, Mary and, ,
Delaware and many other portions of tie
country, both for home consumption and
export, is increasing enormously. The
business accordingly requires large In
crease in the supply OF tin plates for
manufacture into cans. But as the plates
can not be manufactured in this country
as oheaply as they can be imported, it is
proposed to put upon them heavy pre-
tective duty. By this method
foreign competition in the manu-
facture of tin plates will be
arrested and the price of cans will rise.
IL is true that the farmers can charge the
consumers OF the canued fruits and
vegetables for the enhanced cost of the
cans. The effect of a high tax, however,
is to check consumption, aud thus pre-
iucers are injured as we'll as consumers.
In order that three or four manufacture
of tin plates may re established III L .
country fifty millions of people must I've
taxed for their supplies Of wholesome
fruits and vegetables which the farmers
are busily putting into cans. But this is
an example of what is called "Proteotion
to American Industry"
