Mt the present day. 1t might be worth

psrisUn to look bst k to the earlier days
OF our history before the benefits of a
protective tariff were experienced. In
recent lecture before the Harvard
University students, Professor Thomp.
son gave some facts tou ching wages in
good old times. Ia 1898 the Susque-
hanna Canal Company advertise for
workmen 81 Eve dollars per month In
winter and six In summer with board.
In Congress the next winter Vermont

at els ht cents a pound and its rise to
ten cents for short time almost set
farmers' wives crszy. Matthew Cary,
In his letters on the charities OF Phila-
delphia, In 1929, told of men leaving
the city to find work at sixty cents a
day, women were working for twenty
i've cents day while q multitude OF
unemployed persons had to struggle
with poverty and many met death from
cold and want. The goods which PEG.
pie were compelled to buy with these
Low wages were much higher than they
now are. Since these days home manu-
facturers OF various kinds have been
developed and have prospered under
the protection OF our tariff policy, and
while necessities may be purchased at
even lower figures than then, wages
have universally improved.

No Third Party,

and as much In favor Of prohibition Of
those who have gone out on the third

working TO accomplish prohibition In
their own parties. A call signed by

MYSTERIOUS SHOWERS OF STONE

MYSTERIOUS SHOWERS OF SToNE.-A
Louisville Courier Journal special gives the
following, which was vouched for by reli-
able parties: The Inhabitants of Mundy's
Landing on the Kentucky river, in this,
Woodford county, are considerably non
plussed and worked up over the discharge
of showers of stones decending in their
midst Several persons have baeu severely
hurt, and roofs of houses made to rattle ike
musketry The scene aud location of these
mysterious visitations are u. and near the
house of Mrs. Lucretia Mundy, widow OF
Lowry Mundy. who died from the effects OF
poison administered, as charged, BY his wife
and Mr. Davis, the latter now serving life
sentence in the penitentary for pelng guilty
OF the poisoning, and Mrs. Mundy, now un-
der indictment as accessory to the murder
The people of the neighborhood, OF course,
are stirred up. Some think it the work OF
some malicious individual or individuals
who are creating the sensation. Others
think it of the supernatural order. But
whether from natural or unnatural causes,
all are or the opinion that it is Il very strange
affair. Several houses besides the Davis
Mundy mansion have been struck, and the
stones descend perpendicularly. and not
horizontally, as if they came down by the
hand Of an individual.
