PROTRCTToN AND SAVINGS.

The free traders busily assert that pro lection instead of helping the men who work for wages has really hurt them. Of course they know better, but that makes no differ ence. A fact or two will assist in showing what protection has done for the working men, The savings bank is the best index of the thrift and wealth of the poor. In 1869 the amount of deposits in the savings banks of New England was $9O, Ar, ,083. In 1883, after twenty-one years of Republican rule and high tariff, the amount of deposits had increased to $453, ,890, ,090, while the number of depositors had grown from 438, ,539 to 1 ; 298, 799- It is we'll asked: Whence did these savings come, if not chiefly from wages earned in mills and factories protected by the tariff from the competition of European pauper labor? And if large proportion represented the earnings of agriculture and of mercantile and mechanical pursuits, whence did the profits of these callings come if not from the opportunities afforded by the existence of protected manufactures? And this statement of savings does not include the sums, vast in the aggregate, sent by working people here to their friends and relatives abroad.
 Let us see how free trade England com pares as to savings, not with the United States, but with New England only. Great Britain, with a population of over S5, ,O00, 900, had a total in the savings banks in 1882 of s41s, ,252, ,01o less by $35, 5,638, ,0s0 than the de- posits in the savings banks of New England with & total population in 1880 of only 4, ,010, 36s. These figures speak impressively for themselves

Biennial Sessions. Tr..-. 4I.o AT,-,r Tora,, 7InioY,

From the New Haven Union.
 The question upon which the electors of Connecticut will be called upon to pronounce by their ballots next month is of much great ef importance to the people of the common wealth than any matter they will have to de- eide by their ballots in the State election of November Upon their verdict in October depends question which if rightly decided will reduce State taxation, give us fewer and better laws and save the expense and disturb anc9 of an unnecessary election. If the voters shall ratify the biennial sessions amendment, the Legislature instead of meet ing every year, will meet but once in two years, unless some pressing emergency need ing immediate legislation should arise, in which event the Governor will still retain tIle power he now has to summon the Gene raj Assembly to hold a special session. The saving to be effected by the ratification of the proposed amendment to the constitution will amount to at least fifty thousand dollars annually, but this, important as it is, is by no means the most important reform which its ratification will bring about. Legislation will be much better considered when laws must last at least two years, and 1t may be hoped that the gentlemen of the lobby will lose much of the power they sometimes abuse. When a similar amendment was rejected by the popular vote few years ago, the issue was not tried solely on it's merits The amendment then offered proposed that the Representatives, if the amendment was adopted, should hold over and constitute the new Legislature This feature of the pro posed amendment caused dissatisfaction in many of the towns, as it seemed like grasp ing after power upon 5he part of Representa- tiyes, some of whom could not have been re elected. It was, if not exactly back-pay arrangement, something in the nature of one, as it proposed to give the Representatives the salary for a term without subjeeting them to the ordeal of an election by their constituents This feature of the proposed amendment had undoubtedly, much ts do with its failure at the polls. But no such objection can be raised against the amend ment as now proposed. It does not propose to prolong the term for which any of the members of the last legislature was elected. Reasonable objection to the proposed amend ment there can be none, and so far as we have seen, the press of both parties is unani- nous in recommending it's ratification. Con necticut is one of the very few States which continues to hold annual legislative sessions. No State that has adopted the biennial sys- tenn would consent to return to the former practice. Of the adoption of the proposed reform we should have no doubt were the vote upon it to be taken at the November election, but as the town elections do not draw out a full vote we feel the necessity of urging the friends of the amendment not to { allow it to be defeated by neglect.

THE FARMER PROTECTED.

A pamphlet issued by the benevolent En- glish Golden club has been extensively cir culated throughout the United States, more particularly in the western portion, with the purpose of influencing the vote of the agri- cultural classes in favor of free trade This pamphlet claims that the farmer has never asked for and does not receive protection for his products, when the fact is the agrieul- turist is the most favored class affected by tariff enactment. There is nothing which a farmer produces or breeds which is not pro- tected. The duty on wheat Is 20 cents per bushel;' oats, 10 cents; rye, 15 cents; .pota- toes, 15 cents; butter, cents per pound; live stock, except for breeding purposes, 20 per cent. ad valorem. In fact, with the single exception of sauerkraut, which is admitted free, every article raised in the United States, whether in the raw state or in process of being manufactured, is protected, while En- gland, claiming to be free trade country, 1evies large import duty upon tobacco, which affects Virginia, Maryland, North Car olina, Pennsylvania, Kentucky and Missouri most disastrous1y

The Tfred WOther.

A little elbow leans upon your knee;
 Your tired knee that has so much to bear; A child1s dear eyes are looking lovingly
 From underneath thatch of golden hair; Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
 Of warm, moist fingers holding yours so tight, You do not prize this blessing overmuch,
 You almost are too tired to pray tonight But it is blessedness. A year ago
 did not see it as do to-day. We are so dull and thankleSs and too slow
 To catch the sunshine till itslips away. And now it seems surprising strange to me
 That while wore the badge of motherhood I did not kiss more oft and tenderly
 The little child that brought me only good. And if some night when you sit down to rest
 You miss the elbow from your tired knee, The restless curly head from of your breast,
 The Gsping tongue that chattered constantly; If from your own the dimpled hands had slipped
 And ne'er would nestle in your palm again, If the white feet into the grave had tripped
 I could not blame you for your heartache then wonder so that mothers ever fret
 At little children clinging to their gown; Or that the footprints when the days are wet
 Are black enough to make them frown. IT could Ind little muddy boot, or cap or jacket my chamber floor; If could kiss rosy, restless foot
 And near 1t batter in my house once more If could mend Q broken cart to-day.
 Tomorrow make kite to reach the sky, There is woman in Gods world could say She was more blissfully content than [ But ohl the dainty pillow next my own
 Is never rumpled by shining head: My singing birding from his nest hsS. flown
