PROTECTION NEEDED.

We believe in the encouragement
and protection of home industries.
We believe in protection that will
make them self.supporting; that will
enable them TO stand on their feet. We
believe it would be better for the far
mer il he did not have to ship pound
of any of his products away for a mar
ket. When the balance between agrl-
culture and the various manufactures
possible in a community is thus nicely
adjusted only the excess produced
will be sent abroad. But while the
capitalist and the manufacturer are
Justly entitled to some sort of guaran-
tee and protection for their enterprise
and risk undertaken, for the good of
the public, the laborer himselfseems to
have been fogotten. Men are begin
ming to waken to this fact. Ignor-
ant and unskilled labor always tends to
cheaper the rewards of labor. For
years this "raw material" of the old
world has been pouring in upon US in a
steady stream without let or hinder
ance. As long as we had vast, unoccu-
pied and undeveloped territories of
rich land to absorb our surplus popula-
ton, little i'll effect Was felt, from this
source; but to-day it is recognized
and growing evil 0nr own lsi.h and
kin are crowded OUT or compelled to
meet and compete with it. If capital
may Justly ask and receive protection
why may not the creator qfthat capital,
labor, also demand the same recogni-
ton and solicitude.

Eight long months of mortal anguish,
Suffering daily did she languish
Far from friends OF former days;
Suffering there alone, all lonely.

By this friend, before her leaving
All OF those around her grieving
She message sweet did send
To each friend, she missed not any
Nor forgot, among the many,
Who sometimes had called her friend.
Though husbands tears would overflow.
She said his grief he must outgrow,
And talked OF children two;
Talked much when s'er her pains abated.I
And Of their futa-e meditated,
When they to manhood grew.
So she suffered accomplishing,

For the.spirit's brighter sphere.

Take her from her pain and worry
To the home Of spirits bright.

The gDund was measured and staked

walking plow and a fuirow run, the
committee taking the instrument in
charge and no one else being allowed
to touh it. The same experiment was
then tired with the Gllpln Sulkey under
precisely the same conditions. The

measued at ten points equally distant,

determine the result. This calculation
demonstrated that the draft in favor OF

that the Sulkey plow was not secured,
and that it was rigged for three horses
