William H. Orndorff, living near this city,
has fine crops of oats this season, of the Hull
less variety He has three fields in oats, as
fine as any ever raised in the county, a
sample of which he brought to this office on
Wednesday, The stalks were five feet six
inches, and the heads large and well-filled.
Mr.. Orndorff sowed one field the last week
in May, and some of his neighbors were
laughing in their sleeves at him, but the oats
are fine. and he believes will be as good as
any of them will have.
6. T. Mering brought us a sample of oats
ON Tuesday, from the field of his neighbor,
Samuel Stoner, at Trevanion. The stalks
measured six feet, six and three quarter
inches, and the whole field will average five
and a half feet 1t is estimated the yield will
be sixty bushels to the acre.

How Protection Helps the Work
 ingmen.

We have recently shown the dan, gers to our agricultural interest that is to say, to half of our people, and through them to all the rest with which we are now threatened as the consequence of our protec' tive tariff system. To our agricul' tnral producers the danger is di- rect and immediate. To our man .ulacturing producers, because II is less direct and less immediately ob. viouS, it seems toboless worthy of consideration. The instinct of self.n.terest is universal it is the one fact in political economy on which all other iacts and conclu' sions depend. Consequently, while one part oi community IS be- ing helped to wealth by burden. some taxation drawn chiefly from the pockets of another class. the
 former is apt to take the prospect of misfortune to the latter witli great calmuess. 1t is safe to say that manufacturers will never be able to see tie dangers of protec- ton. Workipgmen are not d whit different from their employers ln their instinct of selt.iuterest. II workingmen think protective tariffs beneficial to themselves, they will be protectionists like their employ CTS. Tire misfortune is that work iugmen who are sufficiently seusi- tive to their class interests in oth
 eI respects have been 80 thorough iy hoodwinked by statements made in the interest of their employers
 that many of them actually believe protective tariffs to be beneficial to themselves. There could he no greater mistake. In tue long run, and not so long a run either; it is
 the simple truth that protective

 the working people have wondered
 why it was that protection did not protect them from such misfortune. They have not complained, how. ever They have been simple enough to suppose that their em- ploye CTS W ere losing money all the time, and that their own want was Il consequence of their employers Posses. They have been fooled to the top of their bent. The ein- ployers have been making money all the time. The Hon. Wm. l.. Scottt, Democratic epresentatiye from the Erie district of Pennsyl- vania., in a recent speech told the following anecdote:
 Less than year ago was talk ing with q friend of mine on this question of steel rails. He prob ably purchases more steel rails than any man in the United States. Said he:'.lou know how the iron industries have been for the past lew years -appareutly hardly alive. But do you Know one thing?" and then, calling certain iron and steel companies in Pennsylvania by name, he said; That company represents capital of slO,00O,O0O. You know how the iron and steel industries have been depressed, and yet know that the principal bone Of contention in the board of directors of that company for some time has been. whether or not they should make an extra dividend of s2O,000, ,0O0.r
 That is exactly how protection helps the workingman. It floods tie market with the products of his labor, and then 1t makes Sl0,- COO 900 of extra product out of it, without paying him one capper! So far as the worklnsman is cen cerned, proteetion- does not protect to any great exteii-St. Lotus Re- publican. 83 '.fn.

were found guilty OF criminal conduct.
He reformed sixty OF these. We give
his story Of the way he reformed a
confirmed drunkard, "master work

into the shops, disgracing himself and
disgusting everybody. When sober.
