Young Carpenters first professional
engagement, after returning from West
Point, was made early in 1876, when
he was between II aud % years of aye.
The opposing counsel was NJ less than
George f. Edmunds, then living at
Richmond, something like 20 miles
down the Winooski river. The two
fledglings, each afraid of the other,
met in little gray wooden school
house in the town of Bolton, in a gap
of the Green mountains, and halfway
from Waterbury to Richmond. The
suit, small as it really was, attracted
no little attention from the peasants nf
the neighborhood, and the artless but
attentive audience was present, until
far into the night, to listen to the for
ensic efforts, the sharp retorts, and the
crude legerdemaiu of the young Black
stones.

Australians position as wool growing
country. Ii is well known that The
quality of wool grown in the States
cannot compete with that grown in this
country. And, what is more, it never
will. Anyone knowing the nature of
the woo-growing country in America
would dismiss the fear of its ever be-
coming a dangerous rival of Australia
in that respect. For the characteristics
of all the soil in all the States except
ing a few in the New England district,
such as Vermont and Connecticut and
in the west, California are so much
more arabic than pastoral, that it would
not pay the Americans to turn their at
tention to wool-growing in place of
cultivation of cereals. This fact in it's
self should be complete answer to
those "uld men of the sea" who see
such imminent danger in Americas
rivalry. But, in order to drive home
our contention cOnclusively, we will
quote some American statistics just to
hand. That the homegrown wool of
the States had risen from 100 900, 600
pounds in 1870 TO 200,000,00O pounds
in 1880 certainly seems very large in
crease. But taken in comparison with
the other leading productions of Amer
lea, and considering its importance,
wool does not show anything like the
increase it should; which fact corro-
borates our argument, that the increase
in this staple can only proceed at a
certain ratio, and not by the leaps and
bounds which marks the progress of
the country in other directions.
In the return for the ninth and tenth
census (1S7O and 1SS0) the yield OF the
following staples are given below:

We have cited the above products
because they are the principal sta
piles of the United States, and because
they unitedly cover a superficial area
of 200, 900 acres of land Consider
ing that Australia and America are
nearly alike in superficial area, and the
Irapidity with which the latter country's
territory is being alienated for cereal
and cotton products, while the whole
of this cOntinent-or such portion of it
is settled-is nothing but a huge sheep
walk, the force of the following para
graph must strike the reader as posses
sing much more humor than fact: "ln
less than ten years there will not be a
pound of foreign wool imported by
America. In twenty years, or less, she
will have out of her abundance large
surplus for export" 1t is quite likely
that this is intended for tacetious eff
fort on the part of the writer; and if so,
he is fairly successful. But if it be
meant for serious writing, it is simply
another groan from one of the pessimis-
tic class whose vagaries we have been
describing.

THE TARIFF AND THE FARMERS.

A protective tariff policy cannot be justly
benefit of all. If it only helps a favored class
at the cost of others, it should not live a day;
but if it helps all, it should be maintained.
Our American policy Of so framing our tariffs
that our industry is protected and encouraged,
while our needed revenues are raised has been
and is a mighty help to our national prosperi-
ty and great benefit to the people. Free
trade demagogues try to delude our farmers
into the false belief that our tariffs, framed by
shrewd and selfish manufacturers, as it is al
legged, neglect the farming interest and make
the farmer poor that others may fatten on his
there is free trade III farm products, while the
crafty manufacturer takes care to protect him
self This is contrary to plain facts. Wool
portable, and therefore, most exposed to for
eign competition-has tariff of from two and
half cents to ten and twelve cents per pound
the average duty on the qualities most ex-
posed to this competition being ten cents
Butter and cheese pay four cents per pound
duty when imported; beef and
pork, one cent; hay So per ton;
wheat twenty cents per bushel; rye,
oats, corn and barley, ten cents; wheat flour,
20 per cent; rice, two and one-quarter cents
per pound etc. The bulk and abundance of
some of these articles prevent their large i'm
portation, and the duty does not affect the
price; yet quite revenue comes from these
duties, and they are useful to farmers near
our borders 1t will be noticed that the farm
products which need it most-like wo0Nhave
most tariff for protection. Thus it is clear
that farmers are not kept "out in the cold' in
this matter.
The near market and variety of occupations
growing out of the growth of manufactures
are the great benefits realized by the farmer
and are results of our protective tariffs, with
out which these great home manufactures
never could have grown up. The story is told
of an old farmer on the Wabash who used to
brag about his big boots, saying, II carry a
hundred bushels of corn on each foot and
well he might say so whom that corn only
brought him eight or twelve cents at the fat
boat, where it was loaded for New Orleans
Since then boots have grown cheaper and
corn has risen in price, because we make

animal But the most fendish crime
was that perpetrated by man of fifty years
of age, at New Orleans, who criminally as
saulted his two yearold babe before the eyes
of his wife and grown-up daughter Some
object to the publication Of such revolving
crimes. But is it not well enough to know
the worst and to realize the duty that lies be-
fore society in dealing with offenders of the
law? Any and all of these crimes, culled
from the days reports, call for instant and ad-
equate punishment. Moral suasion and i'm
prisOnment seem to be of no avail. 1t is
time that sentimentalists and theorists
stand aside and let justice have its way. 1t is
a dreadful duty to hang a man, but it is be-
come dangerous thing to fail to do so in so
many instances wherein lustful and brutal
hends have richly merited death on the scat
fold. Without any sentiment of revenge, but
with high sense of duty toward society and
humanity the authorities and courts of the
land should be severe in the administration of
even-handed justice. When a man deliber
ately leaves the right way to wade in crime
until he deserves death, let death be his por-
ton This is the law of nature and of re-
vealed religion. 1t is safe to adopt it by so
ciety. The need of better enforcement of law
is felt more than ever all over the land.

PHILADELPHIA reporters are driven to the
verge of desperation by the very simple fact
that the Times, of that city, has seen fit to
employ certain colored man to assist in col
lecting news about the city. Bnt while their
indignation knows no bounds they don't seem
to know what to do about it, though it has
been informally agreed to boycott Kim, though
it does not appear how they are to accomplish
much in that way. Aleck Davis the colored
reporter in question, is graduate of the How
ard colored school at Washington, is thirty
seven years of age, and of stalwart proper
lions. He is probably able to take care of
himself, and his career would be watched with
interest did the furry involve any question of
abiding interest. The matter will probably
provoke few days wonder and then be
dropped, as it should be.

The kind of man for you and me!
He faces the world unfinchingly
And smites, as long as the wrong resists,
With a knuckled faith and force like fists
He lives the life he is preaching of,
And loves where most is the need of love; .t II
His voice is clear to the deaf man ears
And his face sublime through the blind mans tears
The light shines out where the clouds dim,
And the widows prayer goes up for him
The latch is clicked at the hovel door,
And the sick man sees the more,
And out DER the barren fields he sees
Sprnging blossoms and waving trees
Feeling, only the dying may,
That Gods own servant has come that way
Smoothing the path as it still winds ON
Through the golden gate where his loved have gone
The kind of a man for and youl
However little of worth we do
He credits full and abides in trust
That time will teach us how more is just
He walks abroad and he meets all kinds
OF queruous and uneasy minds
And synpathizng he shares the pain
Of the doubts that rack us, heart and braR
And, knowing this grasp his hand.
We are surely coming to understand!
He looks sin with pitying eyes
Fen as the Lord, since Paradise
Else should we read. though our sins should glow
As scarlet, they shall be white as snowl-
And feeling still, with grief half glad.
That the bad good as the good are bad,
He strikes straight out for the Right-and he
Is the kind of a man for you and me!
