How q Live I.lEzard Did Up n Rubber

How q Live I.lE1ard Did Up Rubber
Among the thousands Of people who
thronged the Glendale park yesterday
afternoon, says the Louisville Courier
Journal, to seek relief from the heat md
dust of the city was a boy who had cap
tured a large striped lizard, of the variety
generally known by the boys as "scori-
pins" and having tied cord about its
neck, led it around with him through
the park, much to the amusement OF
other small boys, though rather discon-
certing to nervous ladies. Another
youngster had in his pocket n rat made
Of India rubber, and very much like the
genuine rodent. He would walk up to
some gentleman reclining on the grass,
and suddenly pull the seemingly wriG-
Cling rat from his pocket and hold him
a few inches from the gentleman's face
to his dismay, and greatly to the boys
edification. Finally the two cratic
youths met, and proposition was made
10 have the striped lizard fight the rub
Der rat. Half dozen people gathered
round, having nothing else to do, and
around this nucleus n hundred quick
" formed. One boy placed his rat on
the ground and pulled his tail to make
him wiggle, when the other boy led
the reptile to the scratch. The lizard at
once sprang upon his adversary and
fastened his teeth in his nose, and
when time was called for the first round
refused to let 50 his hold. The owner y. o OF
pulled bis string, lifting his lizzardship
from the ground, still holding the rat by
the nose, and starter of with both. The
other sport objected to this proceeding
and after q sharp tussel, to the amuse'
ment OF the multitude, he secured his
rat. The "scoripin" was declared q
fighter and the winner, and was carried
away with pride by its owner, who pro-
posed to keep him for another battle.

DON'T STOP DRINKING.

From the Clinton Democrat. August. 9th.
The saloon men have abandoned the
effort to secure license. We don't see
that il makes the liquor drinking amy
less. On last Saturday five kegs OF
beer were shipped mp from Mexico to
private parties and drank. One keg
was ordered and drank by Young boys
ranging in age from IA to 10 years. Ii
this state of things continues we shall
have Just aust to say "saVc the boys"
We are not publishing this merely tor
effect, the truth of the above is we'll
known.-Centralia Guard.
No saloons are running in Clinton,
vet drunkenness has seemed for sOilc-
time to be on the increase. Remarks
to that effect are frequently made
Perhaps not so many people drink reg
ularly as when there were saloons, but
apparently more drink TO excess. The
purchase of beer by the keg and case,
| the drinking of the same by boys and
| their consequent early debauchery.
seems to be II of the crying evils Of
the present state OF affairs. Thls
was not known to any extent when
licensed saloons were held under stricl
surveillance of the law, and whether 8
return to the old form of evil would
abolish the new ones that have sprung
mp, we know not, but that the present
social condition OF affairs needs chang
ing for the better, there CAN be no sor
of question.
There are those among us who
strongly favored local option who now
say a strict accountability of salOOn
under the license system is far rrefer
able to the practice now in vogue il
Clinton, to cure the evils of which TIN
laws are painfully deficient.

THE DEGREE OF PROTECTION
from Harper's Weekly.I

The question which tho election of
this year submits to the country is not
a question of protection and free trade,
but OF the degree of protection. One
platform declares distinctly that,
rather than diminish the surplus by
moderating the tariff, the national tax
OH whisky should be repealed. The
other platform proposes to cheaper tho
necessaries of life, to stimulate industry
and to extend trade by freeing the raw
materials of manufacture. 1t ssumes
that the prosperity of the country is not
due to high taxes in the form of an i'm
moderate tariff, but TO the superior
skill, enterprise, thrift and energy OF
the people. BY freeing lumber il
cheapens houses for the farmers. by
freeing salt it supplies cheaply "A uni
versal necessity aud disturbs a grasping
monopoly. BY freeing wool il cheap.
ems clothes for everybody. Six hun
dred million pounds OF wool are re-
quired TO make our clothes in this
| country, and we do not raise half that
quantity. More than $l4 600 900 worth
OF WOODEN goods are imported annually
at an average duty of So per cent.
Free import OF wool would permit the
manufacture of these goods in this
country SO cheaply that The import
would cease. The demand for labor
would increase enormously, with con.
sequent increase of wages and exien-
ion of trade, with cheaper clothing and
carpets.

TARIFF LEAGUE TAKE NOTICE.
From the Labor Echo.

thS A<NDN AN~-
Tariff league newspapers are trying
to appealto the prejudices OF their read
ers by attacking all efforts to reduce
the tariff as being in the interest OF
English manufacturers and arlstocrats
always citing the Golden club as be-
ing the author of free trade and low
tariff literature; and claiming that this
club is furnished money by English
manufacturers. This misrepresentation
Tor ignorancc) should be corrected.
The English manufacturers n arlsto
Gratis are all protectiOnists, while the
Golden club is composed of the hber-
ais and reformers. The New York
Press is the accepted organ of the tariff
league and its editor, Robert Z. Porter,
was boru and educated among English
a~ristOcrats, and was no doubt sent TO
this country to cripple IL by advocating
| English interests. "BlOody Ballour''
| and his, associates are all advocates OF
"protection." The high tariff daily
published in st. Paul is edited by a
| citizen of English aristocracy, who will
not take out naturalization papers be-
cause he expects to inherit a dukes
| title. Such an editor by his education
and associations cannot possibly view
a question from the standpoint OF an
American producer. Educated with
money taken from producers by special
privileges, granted by unjust laws, he
becomes al advocate of u government
granting special privileges for the ben
eft of a class.
Owing their whole existence to a
selfish class, it is impossible for them
to accept liberal and broad minded
principles, and so they II sec no good
in anything that does not appeal direct
ly TO the selfish interests OF men.

FREE TRADE.


&c. Irwin, in The Truth Seeker
Does the past teach us anythingf
This free trade question might easily be
settled if we will think a little over
history's lessons. PrOtectiOnists talk
as if there had never been any expert
ments made to test the matter. They
also say that we cannOt manufacture
without protection. Now, | will stand
or fall by the truth or ialsity of these
two statements: ,
First, that history gives us several
examples of states trying protection
and then resorting to very low revenue
tariff, or free trade, by general laws or
by treaties;
Second, that the prosperity of mama
facturers and the people was greater in
every case under the very low tariff or
free trade experiment.
From 1S47 up to lS6l the United
States had a nominal tariff. That era
is denounced by the pr~otectionists as
the ruinous time of tree trade. From
lS47 to 1861 this nation prOspered as
never before. The word ''tramp' was
unknown, IL word that became well
known to England under her tariffs
| from 1900 up to 1915, a word that be-
| came familiar to us under protection
from 1873 to 1873. Factories and ioun-
dries were established all through the
middle and western states. Old men
will recall the wondrous progress made
during that period. But if any ono
shall question this, let him refer to the
census of the United States for 1880,
vol. ii, PIP. ops. 93l. See the figures
for totals al ION of columns for 1850,
go, 20, 80. See how many manu-.
featuring establishments existed IN
1850, and then in 1860. You will find
that the increase in the ten years was
over 17,4OO. Now look at 1870, and
then 1880, and you will find about LOO
to be the increase-abOut as many hun
dreds as thousands during the free
trade era.
