Mrs H. exhibited the Gift, inquired If there was
any mark upon it by which it could be dstin-

replied that there was not. At her friends sugi

TARIFF ON LABOR,

Plan for Protecting American Worknen
Against Imported Laborers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-"Since we are going

"A very great deal. 1t amounts to fully as
much as the damage would be were sugar, or
rice, or lumber, or coal to be admitted free of

and the whole Pacific slope on account of con-

for men imported under contract to labor a GER

nothing short of slaves. Then, all people
brought here as experts, or for any reason, to do

contractors would discriminate in favor CT our
