no cheap commodities are permitted
to be landed here. Foreign imports
are taxed by our tariff and their
prices raised. We are doing well.
Suddenly all tariffs are taken off.
Infinite quantities of clothing,
leather, shoes, harness, glass and
queensware, matches, quinine, in
fact everything we are making and
selling here, is introduced at prices
80 very low that at one fell sweep
every factory and shop and mill
must close. Such revolution
might be tolerated if the causes were
slowly introduced. When labor
saving machinery was first intro
duced and the factory workmen
saw machines taking the places of
laborers, one machine often doing
the work of fifty or hundred men,
the workers knew well that they
were injured. All the cunning
arguments of politicians were of no
avail, when men saw blind mechan-
ism driving them by the thousand
from their places in factories. They
see the same effects in vast cargOes
Of goods introduced here at starva-
ton prices. Whatever may be the
ultimate good Of labor saving
machinery, or Of free trade low
prices, no one can deny that the
remedy, if remedy it be, is short,
sharp, severe, generally destructive
to the very lives of millions. And
therefore it is utter madness to
argue for such destructive reforms.
We tell you, free trader, that even if
your theory be ever so plausible and
its practice, in time, even if it shall
become benign and kindly, it is a
a robber and murderer

THE REDUCTION TRICK.

There are various ways of playing
the average reduction trick says the
Philadelphia Press. This is one of
them:
"My bill is not Il free trade bill, 1"
says Robert QuiXote Mills, prancing
around while making a speech; "it
provides for an average reduction of
only per cent"
"Will the gentleman allow me to
ask Il question:" said a quiet man in
the audience.
"Of course"
"Your salary as congressman, l
believe, is S5OOOa year," stated the
quiet man.
at is" replied the great orator.
"And the presidents is S50,0OO?"
Eyes, sir"
"Making together S55, ,OOO?"
"Of course" replied the great
orator emphatically.
"Now," continued the quiet man,
"if we put you on the free list with
out disturbing the presidents pay
just as you have done with wool
without disturbing rice-that would
be an average reduction of only Il
trine over per cent. How would
you stand that kind of average re-
duction?n
"Oh, you go home and soak yo'
head" fclicitously replied the great
orator.

Love-BIaISing In Holland.

A curious method prevails in Oud
Beirlaud, Holland. October is the au-
spicious month, and on the first Sunday,
known as review day, the lads and lasses,
attired in theirbest, promenade the village
separately, stare each other out of counte-
pance and then retire to make up their
minds on 'he second Sunday. which is
called Decision day. The young men go
up and pay their compliments to the fair
ones of their choice to learn If they are
regarded with favor. On the third Sun.
day, or day ofpurchase, the swain is ex-
pected to snatch the pocket handkerchief
OF his adored one, aud il she submits to it
with good grace, he understands that his
chances of winning her are hattering.
The captured pledge is restored to the fair
owner on the fourth Sunday, the "Sun.
day of Taking Possession" and it rarely
happens that the damsel refuses the lover
for whom she has indicated a preference.
On the Sunday following, the suitor, oc.
cording to custom, calls at the house of
his inamorata, where he is asked to tea.
IF piece of the crust of a gingerbread
loaf is handed to him, there Is nothing left
for him but to retire. IT, on the other

Learning TO Work.

Edward Everett when at Harvard Col.
iege went home every Sunday on foot,
carrying the soiled cotton Of the week,
and bringing back another bundle Of clean
clothes on the return trip The students
then swept their rooms, trimmed their
own lamps, carried their own water
buckets and sawed their own 6rewood.
An exchange noting these facts remarks:
"Slnce then the time has changed" And,
we may add, the men have changed still
more than the times. The boys Of fifty
years ago, who literally fought agalnste
poverty for an education and who after
wards loved labor and laughed at hard
ship, became mighty workmen in all pro-
fessions, a race of mental giants, meutes
sans in corporibus sanis, not afraid to use
their minds nor ashamed to work their
muscles. Cass was rocked in sugar
trough for lack OF a cradle, but he worked
hard for an education, and while yet boy,
in the first year of this century, walked
all the way from Exeter, New Hampshire,
to Marietta, Ohio, then a wilderness
where he studied law. He was afraid oi

Department-weere all alike to the bold
strong, great men who had learned to
work when a child and who loved work
all his noble life time through. And
while young Cass was carrying his peck

own and his brothers earnings in complet.
ing his term at Dartmouth. But he bad
been hard working lad and had fortified
his frame by toiling among stumps, rocks,
drifts and weeds on his fathers farm.
He never afterwards shrunk from work,
and the impress of his hand will never be
removed from the legal records and the
civil history of this country. The times
have surely changed since Everett, Cass
ard Webster were boys. There was
perpetual freshness, vitality and energy
about these sons of toll, spirit OF selfcon.

hardships and solving difficulties, for

lore of the corn field and threshIng floor,

FREE TRADE VS.. PROTECTION.

Every region ought to look out for
its own peculiar interests. Who
can dispute that? Well then! If
we were living i'm II barren, cold
region where naught but ice and
iron ore were the products, free trade
would be our policy, as any one can
see, provided there was a demand
for our ice and iron in foreign coun-
tries, In that case we need only to
load our ships or any ships with our
crude ore and ice to get back every
article we desire. We need only to
roll up the ice and iron to become
possessed of all the comforts and
mNurios of life in exchange. Ifany
one We're to propose to put pro-
tective tariff ON imports and thus
interfere with our ice and iron trade
we would hiss him out of our
country.
Far different il the case of II people

ceivable thing can easily be pro

The question is an absurdity,
Here we are, we may suppose, living

than lands elsewhere, and therefore
bread is cheap Even If farm pro
ducts are low the high production
per acre pays the farmer well, for
our agriculturists who get thirty
bushels per acre ON cheap lands have
infinite advantages over the

about it, because the work was let out on
contrac. to Mr.. Wilke. He agreed to
build the capitol for so much money,
which was paid to him, and We. had moth
ing to say atout the sort of labor he
should employ"
"Were there no. plenty of stonecutters
in America to do the work ?"
Not in Texas. All that were needed
would have to be brought from some
place outside of the state. The fact OF
the matter is, the original plan was to
build the capitol of limestone, but this
stone was found unsuitable, and the state
wanted the material changed to granite,
of which there is a very fine
grade on land granted to the syndicats.
The difference in the cost of quarrying
this granite and cutting it amounted
TO nearly 100000, which the syndicate
were not willing to expend. So, in order
to secure the stone for the capitol the
state agreed to furnish convict labor to
quarry it. This caused the stonecutters
to strike, or rather they refused to cut
stone quarried by the convicts, and Mr..
Wilke was therefore compelled to get
stonecutters from abroad"
