A POEM.

BY A RAILROAD MAN.
What's the use of kicking,
When your stomach's full of pie;
A big laugh you'd better tackle,
For tomorrow you may die.
But if your refrigerator's empty,
And your vest is getting loose,
Its time to fight, by thunder,
Or hold up the flag of truce.
Stop, my friend, there is way,
To fix your vest without-a krincle;
Go call upon your Uncle Jesse,
He'll put you on the wrinkle.
Uncle Jesse's a curious chap,
I've seen him stand and hOller,
With a solid silver watch and chain
And it only brought a dollar.
We trade with Uncle Jesse
AS we find him straight and square
If we really need a dollar
We are sure to get it there.
We often thought his business
Would fill man with gall;
But when Emerson finds us worthy
He's got cash enough for all.

An Industry Rnined.

Treasury rulings are as convenient for
free trade purposes as the Mills bill itself
would be, if it were law. Here is case
in point: Lobsters are free, and tin man
ufactured, is drtiable. When Republicans
controlled the government they interpreted
the laws favorably to the protective idea,
understanding that the country held to
the principles of protection. BY Repub-
lican officials Holsters were admitted free
when brought into ports in a natural con-
dition. When that condition was changed
for marketable purposes, and Holsters were
inclosed in cans, it was held that the cans
were to pay duty. This protected the
American canning industry, which in
Maine was large. When Democrats came
in they acted az though the people had
declared against protection, and in depart
mental decisions they strained every point
to reverse the Republican policy, and
ruled for free trade. Democratic treasury
officials dispensed with the duty on cans,
and allowed Holsters prepared in that way
to come in without payment. The conse-
quence has been, that Canada has received
the full benefit of that act, and the can
ming of Holsters in Maine has virtually
been destroyed. This instance shows the
animus of the free trade cabal now ir
power. 1t is directed against American
industry evsy time. Hartford Conn.
