Wherein Labor Protected?

Philadelphia Call (Reformed Republican,
The workingmen are reading and think,
ing for themselves, and one OF the ques-
tons which they want the defenders Ct
war taxes in time Of peace to answer is
whether these taxes, unnecessary for rev.
eLue, have any effect in raising wages.
Comparatively few, in fact, much less
than 10 per cent, Of those that are earn
ing their living in this country
are engaged IN occupations subject
to foreign competition, and the
greater number of these are employed
in cotton and wooden mills and in iron
mining and smelling. Indeed, the whole
number Of protect workers is about
equsl to that of the domestic servants or
the railway employees. II ws- taxes
really protect the wage workers, the men
employed in these so-called protected in
dustries should be psid higher wages
than is paid to men employed in the non
protected industries. Is it sc? Accord
ing to the census OF 1880, the average
wages Of the unprotected railway
employees was $3.50 a year, while the
protected iron workers averaged only
S312. Do miners and smelters get higher
wages THIN the oricklsyers? Do skilled
workers in cotton and wooden mills re-
ceive more than carpenters? Everyone
knows that they do not; but that, On the
contrary, their earnings are much less.
How, then, 90 those nigh taxes benefit
labor? 1t is an undisputed fact that
workers in silver mines are much better
paid than the men who delve for iron,
yet on iron there is a high protective tar
if, while ia silver there is absolutely
free trade.

Common Sense and the Tariff.


The man who would say that his neigh
Dor must patronlze any especial clothing
or dry goods store or grocery in this city
would be called fool. The man who
would undertake to compel the employ
ment Of any particular person would be
called an idiot. Yet this is precisely what
the prohioitive tariff contemplates. In
operation it does this very thing. In conse-
quence those whom it compels to patronize
become d.sproportionately wealthy. This
creates monopoly, snd makes fair plsy q
mockery. The big tariff is only an appli-
cstion of methods pointed out above to
which people would rot submit in private
transactions Neither should they sub
NIT to the Discriminating laws OF the gov
eminent. They should make resistance
with their ballots in such manner as TO
force 8 change, 8 rignt-about in the in
terest Of fsir play and honesty.

Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, April 14,-Esrly this
m rning four young boys, ranging from
thirteen to sixteen Yesrs OF age, went up
the river in boSt to spend the day fish
ing. In the evening, having reached the
mouth Of the Bosque, they sailed up it q
little way, and sll then went in bathing,
and Willie Parker, attempting to swim
Scross the stream, got frightened and was
drowned. His companions, who were
smaller than he was, could give
no assistance. The body has not
yet been found. Willie Parker WAS
about sixteen years old and has wild
owed mother living In Shreveport. He
was here attending school and living with
his uncle, DR.. Williamson.
Some seven or eight miles above on the

similar tragedy WAS enscted. A crowd
OF young folks, attended by some lsdies
and gentlemen, went out on the

little boys slipped of up the creek to go
swimming. Three OF them could swim,
out Walter Knapp had never lesrned the
art, and though appealed to BY his COM
psnions not TO risk coming in, he pulled
eff his clothes and jumped in and was
Immediately drowned. He was about
fourteen years old and WAS an only child.
Night came on before they could find the
body and the search had to be given up.
Walter was one Of the Fort Worth GA

little fellow.
These two sad and tragical deaths have
cast gloom over the city. Further
search will be made for the bodies to-
morrow.
Report came to the city tonight that
negro boy had been drowned in the
Bosque late this evening. Particulars

The Advisabllity Of Feeding Roots [
DAIRY Cows.

The Advisabliity Of Feeding Roots to
DAIRY Cows.
The main reliance of the majority Of
dairymen for feed during the winter is
on grain and hay. These are more
conveniently handled during the win
ter, they think. than roots, but this is =
mistake. When preparations are made
during the previous fall to store the
roots in cellar near the dairy stable.
SO they can be conveniently carried
to the fccd-room and cut up. 1t will be
found an easy job to prepare them II
wanted. There are various roots that
make excellent food for d airy cows; in
fact all roots arc good for the health Of
the cow, and for quantity of milk, burt
turnips give an unpleasant flavor 10
the milk and butter. The sugar beet
and the carrot give good flavor to
the milk, and arc the best adapted
to mich cows. The mangold is also
raised for dairy cows. but is not Of rs
good flavor rs the sugar beet or tho
carrot. The mangold produces the
largest crop per acre. and will answer
q very good purpose when moderately
fed to dairy cows. Tulnips may be
raised to feed cows. When dry, they
are very conducive to health. Some
even feed turnips to cows in milk, and
say they can avoid the turnip flavor by
feeding them just after milking. Others
dispute this, and say that turnips will
always communicate more or less disa-
grccable flavor to milk. Sugar beets are
in high favor rs food for milk. and it
is claimed that they can be raised for
six cents per busllel This is cheap
enough. and at that price dairymen can
we'll afford to lay in bountiful sup
ply. But it must be remembered that
roots arc not heterogeneous enough to he
fed alone for milk. Not more than
one-half bushel should be given TO a
cow per day, and the balance of the
food must be richer in albuminoids. al
milk is q very heterogeneous product.
Clover hay makes good ration for
milk in addition to sugar bcets or car.
