A Reasoning Sheep.

A New York paper relates the following
story, which certainly goes far to prove
that sheep can do some close thinking:
"a H. Clark has a sheep which, during tho
summer, was pastured with some calves in
an apple orchard adjoining the house.
There were several trees in the orchard
well loaded with early fruit, the trees be-
ing about six inches in diameter. Ono
evening Mr.. Clark heard considerable noiso
in the orchard, and upon investigation,
found the sheep and calves quietly eating
apples under one of the trees. In few
minutes all the apples were eaten, when to
his surprise, he saw the sheep back off sew
eral yards and then butt the tree with full
force, bringing down a quantity of irnit.
This the animals proceeded to eat as before,
and when the supply gave out the sheep
replenished it again. So persistent was the
sheep in his novel mode of tree-shaBing
that Mr.. Clark was obliged to protect tho
tree, lest the continued butting of the bark
should cause permanent injury.

Free trade means putting all tho
laboring men of the world upon a
level of competition. Protection
means restricting the competition
among laborers to those living in our
own country, and the consequence
of such restriction is that the wages
remain at high level; whereas, if
the competition of all the laborers in
the world were allowed to operate
here, they would steadily fall to the
lowest level. That is the reason why
the wordingmen of this country are
better paid, are more prosperous, live
in better manner, are better educated,
and bring up their children with
more hope and amition than belongs
to workingmen in any other country.
This is why. the workingmen of the
United States like the American
system of protection, and dislike the
British system of free trade. The
republican party is for protection;
the democratic for free trade.-New

"rhis copy of our paper" writes
Dakota editor, sis not issued from
Scrip City, our new county seat, as
we hope it would be, but about four
mules from there, near Hank Potter's
place. That is owing to the fact
that in moving our office on the
wagon, where we have had it for the
last two years so that we might keep
1t as near the county seat as possible,
one of our horses became frightened
at the running of job press as we
were running off some posters, rear
cd up, and fell and broke his neck,
thus compelling us to stop on the
