lives abroad, to the liberty and prosperity
which these shores guarantee. They
come here to improve their condition
to get better pay for their work, and
they get it, else they would not come.
Had not our industries been properly
fostered and vastly diversified and ex-
tended by wise protective measures,
there would have been insufficient en-
ployment for those seeking it, and re-
duced wages and beggary would have
reigned where has been generous prices
and continued prosperity.
There Is but one side to his phase of
the tariff question. The facts that protec-
ton multiplies and extends our indus
tries-that increased industry makes
added demand for labor-lhat the greater
the demand for labor the higher are the
prices paid for It, are incontrovertible,
and easily apparent to the dullest com
prehension.
The interests of the workingmen then,
as we have already said, are clear. To
insist upon continued protection being
extended to American industry. This i.
practical politics that they ought easily
to understand. It is a business question
with them-a matter of sbreaL and but

everyday lives of themselves and fami-

No matter what his party affiliations
may have been, he should talk, and
work, and vote to secure the supremacy
of that party that guarantees to protect
his interests by developing and sustain

mand for his labor and ensuring him Iiv-
ing wages for it.

VALUE OF FARMING LANDS.

If farmers would study carefully the
official reports, and see how much more
valuable farm lands are in manufacturing
states than in states devoted more largely
to agriculture, they would appreciate
more fully than they now do the benefits OF
having the factory beside the farm--ot
securing a home market Every farmer,
if he will but stop to think, will realize
the advantages accruing to him by being
able TO market all the products near his
home. Why is farm near large city
worth more than one near smaller city {
Recause it has better market. Why is a
farm near a thrifty city more valuable than
one near a country village ? Because the
market is better Why is a farm near a
lively village worth more than one equally
ILL 70 or 20 miles away Because 1t is
nearer TO market. "Only this and moth
inq more" Going to distant markets is
what shears the profits from the farmers
products. Bring good market near him
and his profits are secure.
TRANSPORTATION CHARGES.
Farmers complain loudly, and often
irstlv. against the extortions of transPor-
+,tion companies. sMiddle men" are the
bane of the farmers business. The vast
army of people engaged in the work OF
Transportation, commission and exchange
are but the agents of the producers, and
the producers grow rich or poor precisely
as they are required to employ less OF
more people in making their exchanges
The farmer suffer just as much IN the
svtra prices he has to pay IN getting ms
,roduce into the hands of the consumer
as he does if he is compelled to pay un-
rsosonable wages for blowing his lana
,1onting his seed, or gathering his mar
.sts The remedy is to shorten the lIne'
~ transportation, to reduce the number
of middle men," to bring the marke'
,aarer the farm. This is done by building
m manufactures, and manufactures are
built up by protection" It is better ioi

PROTECTION IN WISCONSIN.
The need that the farmer has of pro-
lection is shown right here in Wiscon-
sin to-day. In several of the oldest and
most populous counties of the state the
farmers have found that grain raising
does not yield them satisfactory profits,
and so they have gone largely into the
growing of tobacco. The importation of
foreign leaf tobacco raised where labor is
cheaper than here, has so reduced prices
that the tobacco industry in our state is
greatly suffering and its early destruction
seriously threatened. And so our tobac-
co raisers are demanding an increase Of
the tariff are asking for what many of
them have heretofore opposed ''protec-
lection to American industry" Conven-
tions have been held, resolutions passed.
petitions circulated, asking the present
congress to increase the duty on tobacco,
and delegates have been employed to go
to Washington to urge the enactment OF
needed tariff legislation to protect the
Wisconsin farmer If the effort succeeds,
and it certainly deserves success, it will
stimulate an important industry, bring
relief to many farmers, enhance the
prices of land, and add materially to the
wealth and commercial importance of the
state

can be had for S cents per day.

India is diSplacing the old rude imple-
ments of agriculture with new and modern
ones, improving her lands by irrigation,
and pushing railroads into the wheat
growing sections of the country. A new
railroad line now constructing from Cal
cutta will open an outlet for from fifty to
eighty million bushels per year Another
proposed line would draw traffic from
27,oo square miles of cultivation, or more
than 1900, 900 acres, capable of produc-
ing 10000, 900 bushels per year, thus
increasing rapidly her growth and exports
of wheat.
1t is with this pauper labor we will
have to compete in our exports of grain
and at the rate they are increasing their
annual products we will not only be
compelled to give up the foreign market,
except in times offailure, but they will be
knocking very soon at the doors of our
ports with their cereal products. Then
you will find that the farmer will plead as
he has never pleaded before for protec-
ton, and instead of 20 cents per bushel
on wheat he will want perhaps three
times that amount. 1t is said that wheat
can be produced at profit in India for 80
cents a bushel.

SOCIETY OF CHRISTIAN EN-
DEAVOR.

This society has become quite an in
stitution in this city. A brief notice of
one of its meetings, held last week, on
Thursday evening, at the residence of
Mr.. Nathan Allen and his sisters, the
Misses Allen. will give general idea of
it's social gatherings. The design of
the society is for the benefit of the
younger classes Of christians, as well
as those Of that class who are inclined
to lead a religious life. All young
persons who are in sympathy with
these purposes are invited to become
members. The regular meetings of
the society are held weekly, at which
topics of religious interest are consider
ed. Once month the society holds
soclable, by invitation, at the residence
of member, which partakes more of
the literary than religious character,
and designed more especially to enter
tain strangers and afford an opportuni-
ty to make acquaintance. Such was
the character of the society meeting
here noticed. 1t is usual OH these oc-
casions to have programme of exer.
cises; that on the evening referred to
consisted Of an amusing play or COL
loquy, in which parts were taken by
Mr.. III. Baldwin, Mr.. N. Allen, Miss
Martha Farr and Miss Alice Bray.
DR.. Will Farr gave reading, which
would have been creditable to a profess
sional on the platform. Miss Jennie
Blinn furnished some excellent music.
The spacious and handsomely furnished
rooms of the Aliens were thronged
by the large number in attendance, and
all were made happy by social inter-
changes of friendship. The company
were supplied with an abundance of
ice cream, strawberries and other
delicacies. All went home full of
praises of the pleasant entertainment.

Rev. E. Savage preached at the Plank
road church on Sunday to a full house.
His text was, Earnestly contend for
the faith once for all delivered to the
SAINTS" Here was fine opportunity
to contend for congregationism, and to
show that all other isms were never
delivered to the saints. But he did not
improve his chance, but just said the
faith meant the system of truth given
in the Bible. He gave several reasons
why it should be contended for, and
then went on to show that to be able
to contend for it we must understand
it and make ourselves acquainted with
it. Here he had some of us in tight
place. The Bible may be read per.
functorily. but not studied much. We
trust to the minister telling us on
Sunday what is Bible and what is not
Well it is to be hoped that we shall
take the advice given and take to seek
ing what the faith is for which we are
tC contend.

EGYPTIAN LOTUS.

1t is said there is but one locality in
Wisconsin where this rare Towering
plant has been seen, and no where else
in any of the western or middle states.
1t has been found in some instances in
New England. A visit to the bed of
lotus plants found on the margin of
Fox river, in Fox lake, a few miles
south of Wilmot, was described in the
TELEGRAPH several years ago. 1t is
now referred to again, as it is under
stood a company who regard the lotus
in Fox lake as of the same family of
the old Egyptian lotus. whose beauties
have been the theme of poets in days
of old, intend to visit Fox lake this
season. The home of the lotus flowers
was easily accessi BILE a half dozen
years ago, when the little steamer
Athlete piled on Fox river between
Wilmot and Elgin; that craft was
hauled off years ago, probably for the
want of patronage. The only method
of reaching the place now is by row
boats.

the 10th volume of the paper closes.
Forty-six years is long life for Wis

is now the oldest newspaper printed in
the state. This fact is not mentioned
exultingly, but as a matter Of history.
The paper has lived near half GEN.

county willed to have it so. While we
receive continued assurances that the
TELEGRAPH, politically and otherwise,
is giving satisfaction, no effort will be
spared to render it worthy of support.

PRAIRIE FLOWERS.

The whole surface of the prairies in
Wisconsin has undergone radical
change in appearance since the earlier
years of settlement. The prairies and
oak openings once during the summer
months presented scene of floral
beauty. 1t used to be deemed rare
pleasure to ride over the old road track
across the open prairie from Kenosha
to Burlington, On Fox river, at certain
seasons of the year, while the air was
perfumed with wild roses and the
odors of various Towering plants were
grateful to tie senses. In many
places the wild strawberries were
abundant. tempting the traveller to dis
mount from his horse or carriage, and
enjoy these delicious Injuries. Or if
he had passion for brilliant flowers,
he could not resist gathering bouquet
to carry home to his wife, daughter or
friends. The recollections of these
many-years-ago beauties of the prairies
almost impart a feeling of sadness be-
cause they have passed away, especial
ly in this portion of the west, never
more to return. He who saw the
prairies in their primitive robes in this
part of the country less than fifty years
ago has seen what his children nor his
children's children to the latest of time
will not behold. Should the great west
become deserted of its inhabitants, its
population swept clean from the land
by war. pestilence or famine. and all
the cleared and improved lands allowed
to grow up to wild forests or tall grass,
the coun try would never again show
the finished work Of nature it once did.
A thousand years of quiet and solitude
would not remove the traces of mans
work. Whether the prairie flowers,
once familiar, would ever appear again
in the lapse of ages, or be succeeded by
new varieties, is only vague conjec-
ture.

PRIVATE RIGHTS.

There is now and always has been
recognized under our form of govern
ment such principle as private rights.
If the time shall ever come when this
fundamental right is no longer respect
ed, then free government will have
come to an end. To work is an obi
CATION resting on man by law divine.
If man desires to engage in lawful
work, there is no law on the statute
book to hinder him. If another man
steps in, telling him he shall not work,
it is an unlawful interference which
merits condemnation. This vital prin-
ciple of private rights has been unlaw-
fully violated in the late labor strikes.

WAR ON THE ANARCHISTS.

1t is an indication of a wholesome
public sentiment when it is understood
that war is to be waged on the anar-
chists-war in which only legal weap-
ons areto be employed. The anarchists
and their co-workers, the communists,
have been permitted to run at large,
appealing to the idlers and mischief
plotters, until they cannot with safety
be longer tolerated. In st. Louis,
where anarchists have been known to
hold meetings and make incendiary
speeches without int rference of the
authorities. resolutions have been
adopted instructing the police to dis
perse unlawful meetings, and arrest
all who are uttering incendiary speech
es. The example in st. Louis will be
followed by other cities.
