IT is astonishing how highly the Amer
lean laborer is esteemed in this country.
He is forced to form organizations to
protect himself; he is often thrown out
of employment when the desire for gain
suggests limitation of production; his
wages never permit him to accumulate
property sufficient to make him independ-
ent, while his employer grows wealthy;
and in the division of labor he becomes a
machine subject to the will of his master
Still this country is taxed, ostensibly for
his support, to an extent which if direct
would cause an instruction If no other
remedy could be applied. What mass
of hypocrisy is bound up IN that ex-
preston Protection to American laborr'
and how willingly the laborer is duped
when little reflection would teach him
that the money kings never yet granted
him real privilege that was not wrung
from them by fear!

HENRY WATTERsoN in his article on
The Tariff in Harper for January, pre-
sents phase of the protection doctrine
which may well challenge attention. The
growth of communistic ideas in this
country is encouraged by the policy of
taxing the people generally for the bene-
fit of favored class. He quotes John
G.. Carlisle's arguments showing that a
paternal government is based upon the
same principle which is the corner stone
of the communistic doctrine: A mans
property may be taken from him and
distributed among those who had no
share in the labor through which it was
acquired.
A little reflection will show how per-
feet is the analogy in what at first sight
would appear to be extremes. The COM
munist demands that property be taken
from its present possessors and distrib-
uted generally. The protectionist de-
mands that large portion of the property
of the people be taken from them and
have special distribution. Whatever
difference there is in the systems, the
more equitable distribution must be
credited to the communists.
Watterson might have still further
traced parity of reasoning. Henry
Georges unearned increment as an argu-
ment against private property in land
has an exact counterpart in the protect
ionists' argument that manufacturing
industries make agricultural pursuits
more profitable, and therefore the farmer
should be willing to pay a bounty to the
manufacturer. George argues that the
subsidy should go to the people; the
protectionist, that it should go to class.
The only difference is as to the bene-
fciaries; George would confscate lands
for the benefit of the people; the pro-
tectionists confscate the products of the
soil for the benefit of the manufacturers.

WHEN it is remembered how the
supreme court of the United States
was packed to secure a reversal OF a
former decision on the legal tender char
acter of the greenback, and how member
of that body was appointed at the die
tation of Jay Gould in return for a
liberal campaign subscription, the OBJ
jections to Lamar appear to rest on very
insufficient grounds. When it is an
of the supreme court decline to take
advantage of the law permitting them to
retire on full salary because they wish to
prevent democrats from being appointed,
one is inclined to express the wish that a
man still more Objectionable to repub-
icans should be appointed. When ones
memory travels back few years to the
time it was predicted that the election of
a democratic president would be followed
by disruption of the union, there is
fresh amusement in the pretended alarm
of the republicans that the fruits of the
war will be endangered by placing Lamar
on the bench. When it is remembered
how the supreme court was prostituted
in 1877 to count Hayes in, the wonder
increases that the appointment of any
man would lower the standing of that
court for honesty or intelligence.

THE protectionists should hold con-
vention and agree on some line OF argu-
ment In their present bushwhacking
tactics they are running afoul OF one
another and furnishing infinite amuse-
ment to free traders. One insists that
protection keeps up prices and thus in
creases the wages of the laborer; another
argues that protection lessons prices and
the inference is that wages are lowered.
One holds that protection is to be con-
tinued only until the 'infant industries"
are able to stand alone; another that such
a benefcent system should be continued
without end. Here is an advocate who
thinks our industries would be swamped
if protection was removed; and here is
another eulogist of the system who says
our manufacturers do now sell in the
markets of the world cheaper than do
those of any other nation.
The only thing on which they appear
to be united is that tobacco is necessity.
Jim Blaine should have himself inter-
viewed again and state whether protect
ion lessons or increases prices; whether
we sell cheaper than other nations in
foreign markets or not. All would fall
in with his ideas and we would not be
harassed by these conflicting arguments.

she would remain perfectly quiet and
seem contented. No cause could be
assigned for her strange conduct, al
though on several occasions she was
closely watched. Racently the water
in tho pond became low. scarcely reach
ing to the cows knees. She made her
usual daily trip, however, and took up
her old position. One day recently she
was watched very closely, and it was
discovered that when she ceased call
ing a large catfish would come to the
surface Of the water and suck milk un.
til It's appetite was satisfied. The fish
was caught by Mr.. Croft in the Sac

the pond.
