One of Their Papers Tells Them What
Party to support.
The working-men should not forget
that they must choose between free
trade and protection, which insures
them higher wages and develops
American industries. If they vote
with the Democratic party they vote
for free trade, and consequently for
lower wages. The votes of the Ger
man working-men form the bala nee of
political power between the two par
ties If the "feshpots" of America
have caused them to forget their pow
erty in the past, let them remember
the toilerS whom they have left behind
in Germany, who toll and strug-
gle day after day, yet scarcely
earn the necessaries of life for
wife and children. and, in ad.
dition, are oppressed and taxed to
the utmost extent of their meager
wages. Theirs is a hard and bitter lot.
We can not alter the condi.
ton Of affairs in Europe, but we can
keep them from our shores. America
shall remain an asylum for the OPP
pressed wOrking-man, where he can
call his hearth his own. and where he
can become a well-to-do, honored and
free citizen. The German working
man of America must now do his part
to secure these blessings. He must
understand the handwriting on the
wall now, before events have become
irrevocable. He must vote with the
right party if he desires to improve his
condition (and in this opulent country
his condition can be improved). That
party is the Republican party, the
party that liberated 4. 900, 900 of slaves.
and who are now again to the fore
with the battle cry of protection.
Again we say the working-man has the
choice; Democracy and free trade or

DAKOTA'S ADMISSION.

A dispatch from Washington says
that nothing is 10 be done for Dakota

Delaware 21.0OO.

great States of the South, where the
colored vote is suppressed Georgia,
with 102. 900 votes At the last election,
has ten members of Congress. Missis-
sippi. with 10000 votes. has seven
members of Congress-but Mississippi
is no guide as to population and rep

ed on the Mississippi plan. Perhaps

value as commonwealth, or it should

Since the dispatch was issued saying
that Dakota would not be admitted in
time to affect the next Presidential
election. the Democrats in Congress
have proposed. by one act, to admit
four Territories as States-Dakota,
New Mexico. Montana and Washing

but they should be admitted separate

CABBAGE AND TARIFF.

What Would BE the Result II Free
Traders Were to Have Their Way.
Twenty cents head for cabbage,
and small head at that, is just now
Pittsburgh experience. The cab
bage comes from Germany, nature hav-
ing left America with short crop last
year. This is not an important mat:
ter, this thing of paying four or five
times the ordinary price of cabbage,
but it affords an excellent indication
and illustration of what would be the
result were the ULTRA revenue re-
formers " to have their way. Suppose
that instead of nature spelling the
output of an article of necessity, or
partial necessity, the artifice of the
false political economists were to do
this. Suppose that the free-trader
kills the output of rails, for instance,
what price, think you, would Ameri-
cans be compelled to pay for rails?
Four or five times the present price, as
for cabbage, or only double? 1t would
not matter to the seller whether nat
ure or some other cause were back of
the reduction of production, there
would be as high price exacted as could
be got.
Take wool. The higher tariff on
wool built up agricultural districts.
Washington County. Pa. and North.
western Ohio were thus built; but
with the wool crop failure

and prices at or below the cost of
production, the farmers of these two

CRUELTY TO INSECTS.
A Bird In Florida That InpsIes Bugs and
Snakes on Thorns.


OF all the birds in this section there
is one that will afford an idler lots
of amusement if he will spend an
occasional hour watching closely. 1t
is the shrike or butcher bird. A few
days ago was in an orange grove q
few rods from the house. where an old
darby, with the assistance of mule,
was blowing. and 4 butcher bird was
flying from tree to tree, following up
the newly-plowed furrow, looking for
insects. Every few minutes he would
go to pick up beetle or insect, and
for some time he simply swallowed his
victims. After little he seemed to
have had enough to eat and just then
4 little flock of larks were seen run
ming along in the newly turned fur
row. at times almost touching the old
darky's heels. Now and then they
would come across an insect too large
for them to easily manage, and then
would begin little scuffle. Then the
butcher bird would swoop down in
the center of the little flock, snatch
up the insect and fly off with it before
the larks knew what had happened.
The butcher bird had eaten all he
wanted, and so, with the beetle In his
5eak. he flew to the nearest orange
tree, and. selecting a long. sharp thorn,
he impaled the insect upon it.
watched this bird put at least ten in
Sects on different thornS. During an
hour. besides numerous large insects,
the butcher bird captured two snakes,
the largest of which was two feet long
and very lively. These snakes, al
though they squirmed and twisted.
were taken with difficulty to1sn orange
tree. and after good bit of hard tug
cling. they were left with a thorn
through their bodies.
When the butcher bird is not looking
for food or for victims to stick on
thorns. he is generally looking for
other birds for the purpose of fight
ing them. and so he keeps busy from
daylight till dark.--Florida Cor. NJ T.

SOME of the sheep growers have
been holding conventions and pass
ing resolutions against the PROPOSE
ton to abolish or lessen the tax on
wool. They have resolved that the
tariff of 1883 reduced the number Of
sheep in the country to G,000, 200,
and the price of wool one half, and
produced such panic that herds
were turned loose as no longer prof.
liable. Coleman's Ra1ui Ijorld at
tributes the decrease IN the number
of sheep to the severe winter in the
West and Southwest of late years
in which more than 80 per cent of
many large herds froze to death, and
then gives tabular statement Of the
number of sheep reported in Iowa
in 1867, when the highest protective
tariff was placed on wool
at 1854 ,698, which decreas-
ed annually under that policy till
1888, when there were only 401, ,429
sheep there. In all these years
they were operating under protec-
tive tariff, which was not reduced
till 1883. These wool resolutions
seem to lack something on the part
of their authors.
