STRAY SHOTS FOR PROTECTION.

Reduce the surplus, but not the
tariff
Protect our indus tries and you
protect the wage.earners.
The whisky ring or the tariff
must fall. Which shall it be?
Protection "inspires labor with
hope, and crowns it with dignity"
A lower tariff means heavier i'm
portations and less home produc.
ton.
A nations industries belong to
labor, and they must be fostered
by tariff.
We'll keep our own wage stand
ard, Mr.. Free. Trader. If you
want the pauper pay of Europe,
better emigrate across the Atlantic.
A quarter of a million people
walk the streets of London to-day
IN idIeness. Free trade would put
double that number on the streets
of New York.
The foreign raid has begun, and
the storm signal flies from every
factory mill in the land. Working.
men should be prepared to resist
the invasion.
A tariff puts the burden of tax
upon the foreigner; the internal
revenue comes wholly from the
pockets of the people. Which of
the two systems can we best DO
withontg
The wool.grower is to be the
first victim of the tarlff.tinker, ac-
cording to Mills. How does he
like the prospect of competing
with the shepherds OF Australia
and South America a?
Protection has lowered the price
of every manufactured product, re-
duced taxation lower than in any
other country, and kept wages
fully fifty per cent. higher. Is
there anything wrong about such
a system
Free trade would make three
million men now employed in
manufacturing, competing pro-
ducers of food instead of consum-
ers. They would bave to get their
living on the farms, for there would
be nothing else for them to do.
The 100000 people in Rhode
Island have Sj2, 100000 deposited

Little "Rhody's" industries are
protected by tariff.
When free-trader tells you OF
the "iniquities' OF the tariff, ask
him for definition of the wOrd.-
For instance, does it mean that
talIors can earn $50 per week
here and only $3.50 in London
That iron puddlers can earn 81 a
day here and S1.0G in Belgium.
Here is the problem: It is bet.
ter for the farmer to transport his
produce across the continent, ship
it TO Europe, and compete there in
price with the rates fixed by IndiaE
Or should he aid 10 the maintain

consume all bis lands would yield :
If the former is correct, then favor
free trade il the latter, stand up
firmly for protection to all Ameri-
can industries.

THURMAN AND THE NUMBER I3,

THURMAN AND THE NUMBER I3.
Itis rathera singular coincidence,
in the minds OF superstitiOus people
at any rate, that Vice Presidential
candidate Thurman should have
been born on the 18th of NOvem.
Der, 1913. The number Is is uni.
versally considered unlucky, and
some of the sharpest, shrewdest
men in the world are influenced by it
to the extent ofbaving nothing to do
with a man born on that day, or in
the year ending with that number.
Captain Williams, the celebrated
New York policeman, has prepared
and published a list of casualties
occurring on the 18th, which is ln-
teresting, to say the least.
For example, Bishop Cranmer
was burnt at the stake in 1856 on
March 13. Captain Cook, the ex-
plOrer, was killed by the savages
in 1879 on February l3. Fort Sum.
ter was captured in 1861 on April
13. The battle Of Fredericksburg,
in 1862, occurred on December 13.
The famous steamer President was
last seen in 1S41 on March 13. The
riot in Ottawa in 1878 was on Au.
gust 13. Professor Wise, the ero-
naut, was last seen in 1876, on Oc-
tobcr 13. The Black Friday panic
of 1866 was a doubly unlucky day.
1t was Friday, and it came on the
one hundred and thirty. first day of
the year. 1t had thirteen in it.
The Doodle aldermen of New York
numbered thirteen; they held Sc
cret meetings, by some chance. on
the 18th of the month, and one or
two were conYicted on that date in
the calendar. eThe great Boston
fire in 1872, took place on the three
hundred and thirteenth day of the
year. Shakespeare died an un-
timely death on the one hundred
and thirteenth day of the year 1916.
Curran, the great Irish orator, died
in 1917 on November 13. Robert
Toombs, the Southern agitatOr,
died in 1885 on December ID.
The famous Thirteen Club, OF
New York, has a curious expe-
rience. 1t was originally compos.
ed of thirteen persons, and was or
ganized to fight this superstition.
Now, President Cleveland, Gov.
ernor Hill and many other distin.
guished personages are honorary
members. At their annual dim er
they always have thirteen tables,
thirteen candles, and thirtee n
courses. The day before the last
annual dinner the building where
it was to be held was ser iOusly
damaged by the caying in OF the
structure next to it, and that same
day one OF the original thirteen or.
ganizers of the club died, and on
hearing this gloomy intelligence,
Judge McAdam, who usually pre-.
sides at the dinner, said he be-
lieved he would not be well enough
to play his usual part. Other MEM
bers of the club were so frightened
that they refused to attend the ill.,
bodlng banquet. All Of Cleyeland's
misbaps have occurred since he
Joined it. And az Thurman was
born on the thirteenth day OF the
month in year that had thirteen
in it, the superstitious say he will
not be elected.
