The United States Is the graadest
and most prosperous nation on the
face of the globe. 1t Is made so by
the policy of protection, which
taught the people that no section of
the United States could benefit with
out every other section deriving an
advantage. Free traders, on the
other hand, have invariably appealed
to sectional jealousies- Had they
continued to maintain their hold on
affairs the country would have been
in the same slough of industrial de-
spond out of which it was lifted by
the protective tariff of 1S61-Chron-

During the year 1887 there were in
the State of New York IA trades
and callings involved in disputes with
employers. The loss of wages ex-
ceeded $2,000,000. Fiftv-one thou
sand persons were engaged in these
strikes, which resulted in 5000 strikers
being refused employment after the
strikes were ended. The number of
establishments affected was 1904.
The successful strikes numbered 694
100 compromised, and 8 doubtful,
and Cos unsuccessful. twenty-five
are still pending. Some very pecu-
liar reasons are given for some of the
strikes, but by far the largest number
were based solely on sympathy. The
Bureau of Statistics and Labour of
the State give the figures, and they
may be accepted as official. This is
only one State, but it will serve as a
basis from which to make something
of a calculation Of the frightful dis
turbance to commerce and industry,
and the loss to both employers and
employees occasioned by this senseless,
brutal, violent method of warfare. Do
strikes pay, is not question any
longer to be answered by other than
an emphatic negative.

one exception, were present. Mr..
Thompson was former resident of this
town, residing on the farm now owned
by A. S. Kellogg, but removing to North
eastern Ohio in the year 1888, hence but

member him. He returned to Vermont
some ten or twelve years ago to visit the
scenes of his childhood and spent short
season in looking up old acquaintance
and viewing the hills and valleys with
which he was once so familiar.
