Stirring Patriotic Pulses

Noah NJ. Ludlow, the actor, who was
81 years old at the time OF his death
in St. Louis, a few days ago, used to
say that the most brilliant hit OF his
lie was made in New Orleans. The
theater was packed with keel -bOatmen
and fat-boatmen. He knew they were
hard to move, but determined to try
TO stir them. So he put on a suit OF
buckskin, took a rife, and capered
out before the stern men in linsey-
wooIsey suits and blanket coats.
They eyed him critically When he
began a song they listened. Then he
came to the second verse, which ran
thus:
"Blt Jackson he was vide awake, and
WASH scared at trifes.
For well he knew what aim We took with our
Kentucky rifles.
So he marched Us down to Cyprus Swamp,
the ground was low and mucky;
There stood John Bull in martial pomp,
but here was old Kentucky"
What followed was indescribable.
No words could do Justice 70 the howl
Of Joy that went up. The uprOar last
ed fully a minute. He sang the verse
again, and again the roof was lifted.
Three times did they make him sing
that verse, which, within two months,
could be heard along the rivers from
New Orleans TO PIrtuburg.

All His Work for Nothing.

A Boston auctioneer's play OF ex-
preston is singularly misleading, says
the Beacon. An old lady from Rox-
bury dropped into an auction parlor
on Bromfield Street the other day
Just as the auctiOneer was posing on a
high stool with an old china vase in
one hand, on which he threw the most
endearing glances, evidently recalling
tender "reminiscences in a foreign
tongue, or something OF that kind, as
not one word Of his discourse was un-
derstood by those present. Then he
draped himself in a small rug and
burst into a stream Of brilliant rhet-
oric in the Panic language; next he
seized a brass tray over which he be
came SO eloquent that those on the
back seat were awakened as by an
electric shock. Finally ne capped the
climax by holding alott small mar
bleClytie and shouting his first inteIli-
gible words: "Two-ten, who bids?"
As the crowd dispersed the old lady
remarked with tears in her eyes:
That's the most touching solOist I
ever heard. I'm glad | came. l can
always say now that I've been to a
symphony concert with the best OF
'em, and ! amt ashamed to say |

INFLUENCE OF \ rARIFr.

Aside from the questions Of preserving
the national existence, and protecting in
the full exercise of all their politica'
rights. every class of citizens WITHIN the
scope of the national authority, Mere
has never been presented to the American
people a question so vital to their inter
ests as the tariff question \ tarif-be
it high or low-for protection" or 'for

unfavorably, every individual None can

ufacturer, artisan and operative. all come
under the control Of its baneful or bene-
fetal effects.
SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD.
! A question Of such grave import ought
| 10 receive the most thorough and scruti-
nizing consideration, and be iutelligently
/ comprehended by every citizen. The
| fact, unfortunately is, that but few study
| the question, and less understand it. The
purpose of this article is to review as
/ briefly as NAV be, the history of taritfleg-
/ isIation, its operations and effects, and
learn from the indisputable facts Of his
tory, and by the light of the past expert
| ence and present condition of our busi-
ness affairs, see whether tariff for pro
! lection" OF one "for revenue only" is
| most conducive to the individual, and so
to the general prosperity.
1t is not our object to approve or criti-
cize the existing or any previous tariff
/ law. All have been more or less imper-
/ feet. and so unjust. It has batfled the
/ skill of the most sagacjous political
! economists, and surpassed the compre-
/ hension of the wisest craftsmanship to
/ prepare a tariff measure that should be
/ absolutely equitable in all its relations to
/ the intricate personal and business inter
ests of the country.
/ TIE PRINCIPLE OF PROTECTION.
/ The object here is 10 discuss the tyia-
rftIe of a tariff, and see whether it ought
/ TO be so adjusted as to be protective OF
/ domestic industries, or levied simply to
/ provide the public revenues. If pro-
tectiye tariff works only for the benefit
/ of favored manufacturers, fostering capi-
/ tai that it may build up unjust monopo-
/ lies, and thus enriching the few and i'm
/ poverishing the many-then it should not
be tolerated for day. If on the contrary,
it stimulates legitimate business; builds
up and makes permanent diversified in
/ dustries; increases our mills and shops
! and perfects and cheaPens their products
| by healthy competition; gives larger and
better markets to our farmers; in all
ways aids in the development of our vast
natural resources; making the nation
/ prosperous and independent; en,arging
and enriching the daily thought and life
/ Of the people, then should it be adopted
/ and sustained.
