more than any other one thing to weaken
and destroy the race. 1t keeps the parent
from telling the child those things which
for its safety the child has a right to know,
and it keeps many afflicted persons, with
diseases of a delicate nature, from consult
ing physicians until 1t Is too late for help.

After three days tarry the camp meeting prohibltionists folded their tent, shook the dust from their sandals, and left for Columbia, more fruitful feld for la- bor than Spring Hill In this town no one desires to sell liquors, and no one wants to have them sold iu town, and the matter of license has not been brought before the town for several years. If any in town wish to indulge in the flowing bowl they can be easily gratified by stepping over the line into Willimantic The prohibitionists have started on their pilgrimage campaign two months too early, as their efforts will nearly be forgotten through the excitement of the campaign of the two leading parties. They seem to be in earnest 1n their en- deavors to suppress the rum traffic, but 1t will be a tiresome journey before they elci thu desired objec. .

MT. Radclyffe, secretary of the Home Market Club of Boston, says: sProtec- tionists have to meet the tendency on the part of some very intelligent people who take mp the cry for free raw materials l With free raw materials we are told, our manufacturers would capture foreign markets, and unlimited prosperity would prevail. There is no doubt that thousands of manufacturers believe this; they do not understand the difference in wages, which senters so largely into the cost of manufacturing.
 'tAs an example of the absurdity of this claim I need only cite the boot and shoe industry, which Is so largely centered in l New England. Our boot and shoe manu- facsurers have free raw materials that is to say, hides, from which leather is made, are admitted free of duty. Thus boot and shoe manufacturers have cheap raw ma terials. In addition to this they have also the very best machinery in the world, I American boot and shoe machinery being exported to foreign countries, and being a powerful illustration of what protection has done for the developments of American ingenuity and mechanical science. There is not another industry so we'll equipped for foreign trade as that of boots and shoes, but how many boots and shoes do l we export? Why, for the last fiscal year | 1t only amounted to $648, ,000 worth, and, as everybody knows, that would not be an average product for one fair sized boot and shoe manufactory in New England.
 In free trade countries boots and shoes are made by hand, and an immense per centage of the wage earners have to go barefooted, while our own people-thanks to protection-can afford to buy covering for their feet. This free raw material cry is shallow fraud to humbug the manu- lecturers of the country, but I hardly | think 1t will work, because any critical ex- animation. into the claim, must show its shallowness. Let us remember, while an- swering the free wool cry, that the last la- bor, as congressman, which the late James A. Garfield performed, was a report favoring the retention of the duty on wool. It occupied him up to the very hour of leaving his Washington home for Chicago, where he was nominated for president. In that report, May 24, 188O, he said:
 !" Should it (the removal of the wool tariff) become a law it will be impossible l for our farmers to compete in the market with the metiza wools of South America and it will be equally impossible for our manufacturers to compete with those of France and England. Of course any leg islation that destroys the woolen manufac- turers is equally destructive to sheep hus- bandry, for the farmer would no longer have a market for his wool. The nation can hardly be called independent which does not possess the materials and the skill to clothe its own people,

 THOSE who wore the blue, and those who wore the gray, have this week, beginning on Sunday, been fraternally observing the 18th anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg, on the field. Gems.

The field Is now well dotted with monuments of brave men who fell there, and of regiments having a part in the battle. Several of these were un- yelled this week, and more are contemplated. The field of battle has been made a national park.
