goods is only Is per cent. paid to all the

ries, and the difference between American

If our information is correct, tie Con-
gressiOnal Committee Of the Third District
has resolved on taking u very grave re-
sponsibility upon itself in annulliDg the
work done by many OF the counties of the
district, which have already held conVen-
tons and selected their delegates to the
district convention. Many other
counties have issued calls for
like conventions and the proposed order
OF the committee will not only occasion 3
serious disaTrangsment Of plans, but also
give rise to unfortunate suspicion regard
ing the motives of the committee in thus
Overstepping all prscedents and interfering
in a matter that should be left to the conn
ty committees alone. II is said that the
result OF the county conventions thus far
has not been satisfactory to some
of the candidates and by ordering change
the Congressional Committee will lay itself
open to the suspicion Of partiality, which
is at all hazards TO be avoided. The meth
cd by which the counties have heretofore
selected delegates has beeI left to the
counties themselves. The Third District
Committee can not safely assume 1
a power which is not warranted by pre-
cedent; it cannot or at least should not
dictate to the counties their mode Of pro-
cedurS.
Too much respect and consideration can
not be gwen to old and established pre-
cedents in regard to this matter. limo
vations should not be made without res
sons OF the greatest weight and after the
matuTest deliberatiOD. Any departure
from established Democratic usages is
dangerous.

ATE CROP REPORT.

The crop report of the New Jersey
weather service s ,ys that the week has
been unfavorble for farming. The
rain fall has been largely in excess of
the weekly September average, and af-
fected the fruit and crops, especially
peaches and sweet potatoes. The Sec
tional reports from Clayton and Moores-
town say that the wet weather has re-
tarded the ripening of corn and toma-
toes are rotting on the vines.
At Rancocas, Burlington county, the
late peaches are a total loss on account
of rot. At Trenton the tomatoes and
melons have rotted and little or no
wheat has been sown owing to the wet
condition of the ground. Near Egg
Harbor the late peaches are rotting on
the trees. The cranberry boys in the
vicinity of Marion are flooded, but the
crop will be all right.

PROTECTION.
Two of its Evil Result Carefully Point

ed out.
Prof. a. l.. Perry. OF Williams Col
lege, says: There are two z gantic
evils resulting from protection. The
first is that the scheme compels the peo-
pie to pay under color of national taxa
ton at least four times as much as the
treasury eve receives in actual tariff
taxes. The object Of this kind of tax
ing is not at all to get money with
which TO pay the debts and provide for
the common defense and the general
welfare of the United States. The Oh
ject is, III the other hand, to lift the
prices, ar~tifically, to the people of Ger
tain selected goods Of domestic manu-
factuIe. Many of these tariff taxes are
designedly put ST. high as to keep alto
gether cut of the country the class of
goods on which they are levied; in this
case, the treasury gets nothing in cOnse,
quence of the taxes but the people are
compelled to pay, in consequence of
them, an indefinite but enormous trib.
ute to their fellow citizens, the mono
polists. 1t will not do for these mono
polists to say, the tribute is only small,
if il he small, why was it put on at all:
And Why is it not taken off now? OH

Wheat reached S1.02 per bushel in
Chicago on Monday, which is % cents
a bushel higher than last year. This
will he better news to the farmers than
to those who buy flour. This rise IS
not because of the high tariff or at
tempted tariff reform, but because of
the shortage of the crop in Europe
where our surplus wheat is sold. The
price of the home market is regulated
by what the surplus will bring in Eu-
rope, where our higher priced farm la
bors compete with the cheapest labor
in the world.

In huge oak tree Ia forest grand,
In the heart of a ba lmly Southern land,
A pair Of mated lovers dwelt;
Aud they cooed and called, aud they often sang
I'LL the corridors OF the old woods rang;
Their blithesome spirits seemed to melt
With all the happiness they felt
They sang aud chirped in their innocent glee,
VI the peaceful home In the huge oak tree,
And the tiny oues In the nest,
TIL glistening snake crawled up one day
To where the tender nesting lay,
vandal. uninvlted guest,
With terror in his cree ping quest
" hsughty, wise aud consequential mien,
high up the tree n gray owl sat serene;
Sat safe upon a sturdy limb
And saw the anguish OF the parent pair,
With cold and careless, pity-bsrren stare;
SO self possessed, aud stern. aud grim,
Their misery Is nsught TO him.
busy, brown clad, hardy little bee,
Among the hoS ers underneath the tree,
Beheld the thrilling scene by chance,
Aud rising on his hone v-laden wing
Drove whiZZiug at the horrid, Kissing thing,
Til, writhing from the brown bees lance,
Death hecked the monsters dread advance.
IT'S often thus IN human life,
That lowly ones, I'm hard, unequel strife,
Are left 10 sorrows armei to kill,
While p0nd'rous W saOm chooses not to see;
