Abou Ben Harrison, may his vote increase,
Awoke one night from deep dream of peace
And saw by the moonlight in his room,
Making it fair and like lily in bloom,
An angel writing in a book of gold.
Exceeding peace had made Ben Harrison
bold,
And 10 the angel in the room he said:
"What writest thou:" The vision raised its
head
And with sweet look. quick the answer sent:
"The names of those who may be president"
Sand is mine one:" said Abou.
"Nay, not so," replied the angel.
Abou spoke more low but cheerily then,
"Write me as one who loves the Cinnamon"
The angel wrote and vanished, and the next
night
He came again with great awakening light,
He showed the names of those who knew
Salt River best,
And 10. Ben Harrison's name led all the rest.
1t might a. Ben Hur.

How Labor is Protected.

Governor Hill of New York made a
telling point when he showed that a
leading cause of the higher wages OF
this country is not the high taxes
which we place upon the things which
vorkingmen consume and pay for. but
rather the workingman's combinations
like the knights of Labor, which OPP
pose the strength of united men to the
strength of united capital.
If American workingmen did not
protect themselves by combination,
would the war taxes protect them? II
high taxes on consumption can protect
labor, why do not our high taxes do 1t
more effectua1ly? IF they do protect
labor. where is the need of labor COM
binations?
The workingmen understand very
well that they do need to combine for
self-profection. The logic of that fact
is that the war tariff on the things
they consume fails to protect them.
The workiDgmen have had for sever

1t is too hot to talk politics. 1t is now the
cool of the morning and I have enough
energy to remark that the Republicans will
find that when they broke the power of Ros-
coe Conkling in New York they destroyed
the party and that the Democracy will find
that American politics viii never recover
fIom the effects of the fact that New York's
big 3 U. S. Grant, Samuel j. Tllden and
Roscoe Conkling struck hands in 1884. 1t is
true they are all there dead but

In thoughts, not breath;
In feeling: not in figures on a dial.
We should count time by heart throbs.

When q man can see over the whole field
and is not an office-seeker it is amusing to

The Fitness of Things.

We hasten to announce for the benefit of
our bucolic contemporary, that the st. Louis
Republic, than which there is no more con-
sistent nor able Democratic journal in the
west to-day, has not placed the Democratic
national ticket, which was nominated in the
city in which this paper is published at its
mast head.-Citizen.
Our neighbor in drawing a parallel
between itself and the ST. Louis Re-
pu6lic,is about as funny as Bro. Crumb
saying the Republic had stolen the
name OF his paper. 1t looks to us like
our neighbor would get 1t nearer right
by making his parallel between the
Poplar Bluff Citizen and Poplar Bluff
Republic-Butler County AdUocate.

at Dan vile, Pennsylvania, announced
last week a reduction in the pudding
department to 1925 per ton. This is
10 cents per ton less than is paid for
the same work in the cheapest iron
mills in England. And yet this same
company, paying less than is paid to
the pauper labor of Europe, is receiv-
ing the benefit of a protective tariff and
claims that it is for the advantage of
the Iahorinp man.
