The Protective System.

In previous articles upon this subject
we have shown that the adoption OF the
protective system in the legislation of this
country was justified by its original sd-
vocates as measure of attracting and pro-
tecting the capital employed in manutac-
turing industry rather than the labor thus
employ d. We also pointed out that this
protection as demanded was essentially
temporary in its nature, and that for de
cade and half previous to the civil war
the original promoters of the protective
system had conceded that the period OF
paternal protection to the capital thus
employed was passed and that the public
sentiment Of the country had repealed the
protective system and reduced the tariff
duties to strictly revenue basis. We re-
viewed, also, the fact that the commence
ment of the civil war necessited very
large increase in tariff taxation as means
of raising war revenue and that 1t was
only since the war, when the diminishing
expenses of the government demanded
diminishing rate of taxation that the pro-
tective system has been justified exclusive
ly as measure of protecting the labor en-
ployed in manufacturing industries.
| 1t being, therefore, conceded by the orr
ginal, as " ell as the latter day champions
of the protective system that no element
o. protection to the capital of this country
by taxation Of the masses is necessary OF
iusti6aole at the present day, the inquiry
remains, what amount of protection by
taxation, if any, is necessary for the PEG
pie engaged in manufacturing labor in
order to preserve the better rate of wages
paid to such labor in this country ovel
that paid to such laborers in Europe.
Preliminary to this inquiry, of course
would be whether it is reasonable and lie
gitimate for Republican government Il
tax all its citizens to increase the wagese

Democrats Not Boilers.

What can be the idea of journals
in the 7th district urging Democrats
to vote for Hutton, we can't exactly
understand II they are true and
loyal to their principle nothing is
clearer than their duty to support the
nominee Of the party. But il they
are net Democrats, why there is some
reason in trying to convince them our
way. We do not see the necessity
Of overly urging man to take his
meals or perform other inevitable
duties. Col. Hutton was not the
choice Of Rails county nor did he
have any very considerable following
here, but one thing is certain, the
Democracy of Rails is as well organ
lied and as much to be relied upon
as that Of any other county in the
district, and will give Hutton and the
ticket 1920 majority.-Ralls County

A Boy Overgrown With Hair.

Theodor, alias Yo-Yo, the dog boy,
arrived on Saturday by the City Of
Chicago, and, with his guardian,
Nicholas Foster, has engaged apart
ments at the Astor House. Yo-Yo
was visited yesterday by many per-
sons, and seemed in no wise discon-
certed by the curiosity of which he
was the object. Yo-Yo's appearance
certainly bears strong resemblance
TO that of Skye terrier. His face is
completely covered by thick growth
of silky yellow hair, which Is specially
abundant ON each side of tue nose.
Here there are two little tufts, like a
terriers whiskers, while his mild,
hazel eyes have a remarkable canine
expression. On his upper lip the
hair does not grow, which proves that
Yo-Yo's hair is not the result of an
exaggeration of the ordinary hair,
producing capacity of human beings.
The luxuriance of his hair is Offset
by the scarcity of his teeth. Of
these he has only four, two in the up
per jaw and two in the lower. AL
though the hair is most abundant on
his face, his whole body is covered
with scattered growth. He was
found with his father twelve years
ago in the forests of Kostroma, in
Central Russia. He was then only
four years old and his face showed
only slight down, The father had
the same peculiarities as the son, but
was savage and ignorant of language.
Nothing could be learned Of the his
tory of the remarkable creatures,
nor of the mother of the child. The
father was exhibited as a curiosity
until his death and the son was cared
for by the town Of Kostroma
Nicholas Foster, Russian, obtain
ed permission to exhibit Yo-Yo, a
the same time charging himself witt
the chlld's education. Forster ha!
made the tour of the European capi
tails. Yo-Yo is said to be of goot
intelligence and of excellent disposi
ton. He speaks only Russian, al
though in his travels he has picket
up few words of German. He i
especially fond Of writing his name
Theodor, on the back of his photo
graphs, and will probably learn t.
make his autograph source ofprofit
