ter graphically presents exactly what

and protection works at home and
abroad, in the field and the Workshop
He shows how agriculture, commerce
and manufacturing in the United States,
Great Britain, Germany and Holland
have been affected by these two econo-
mic policies. Mr. Porter's work will be
appreciated by business men, farmers
and artisans who have no time TO read a
volume ON the subject, but who want a
clear exposition of the condition OF labor
here and in European countries. The

Eaton for 20 years, and when he died
was the oldest man in the county. He
united with the. Christian church under
the preaching of Ed. Peter Banta, some

a spirit of gentleness and forbearance.
He firmly believed that Everything
worketh together for good to them that
love God" He was affable in his fami-
