MY LITTLE MAID OF ACADIE.

KNEW you when your cheeks were fair
AS any rose that bloomed could be,
And your soft eyes were deep as were
The skies that bent Ter you and me.
How played the June winds with your hair,
How sought your lips the honey bee,
How 1.-the your form, how blithe your air,
My little maid OF Acadie.
You sang; and on the boughs that bent
Above our path the little birds
Would cease their songs-they seemed intent
To catch the meaning OF your words:
You laughed: the very flowers would smile
To hear a laugh so full OF glee:
IT'S pity they were dumb the while,
My little maid of Acadie.
My little maid Of Acade
or all Gods worlds the best is this:
So once you whispered, love, to me,
When overf1owed your heart with bliss.
Twas sweet world through which we went,
A sweeter I've no wish to see;
Thank God for all the Joys it's lent,
My little maid OF Acadie.
Your eyes grow misty at q thought
or what has been and yet may be:
How tears the years have often brought
And oft may bring to you and me;
BY no means wise are they who dream
That Heaven delights a wreck to see,
And Time, the thief, is not supreme,
My little maid OF Acadie.

where you will, defy you to find an
Irish woman who is otherwise than
naturally distinguished-the very bar
maids being superior in bearing
and speech to many English
Duchesses. The list of beauties
is a long one, and looking back
we can recall histories of the extraor-
binary loneliness of the three Miss
Cummings, who, when they came to
London. had actually to be escorted in
Hyde Park by guard of soldiers sent
by order OF the Secretary of State, so
overwhelmingly was the crowd press

VICIOUS PROTECTION.
Interesting Figures Compiled from Mr..
Schoenhof's Tariff Report.

SCHOeunOIb CepOrIs
The report of Mr.. Schoenhof, who
was delegated by the State Depart
ment to ascertain the difference be-
tween tho wages paid to labor en-
ployed in certain industries in the
United States and those paid in similar
Industries in other lands, reveals that
while the labor cost of producing
pair of shoes in Massachusetts, is IS
cents per pair, it is from 81 to 81 cents
in Germany, II cents in Austria and
81 cents in England. In other words,
the labor cost of producing shoes is al
most 50 per cent. less in the United
States than in Europe, yet for the
protested purpose of protecting" the
labor employed in this industry the
Senate proposes to increase the duty
on leather goods. Mr.. Schoenhofs
figures make it pretty clear that those
most in need of protection are not the
persons, laborers and capitalists. en-
gagged in making shoes in this coun-
try, but the owners and employees of
the shoe manufactures of Europe.
Mr.. Schoenhof also shows that while
the labor cost of making yard of wool
carpet is but 1892 cents in the United
States, it is 8.263 cents in England.
Yet the duty on this carpet is 40 per
cent. Why? To protect labor? Not
bit of it, for labor doesn't need the
protection. The tariff is imposed to
fleece the public and create colossal
fortunes for the favored manufacture
ers.
The Senate bill proposes the i'm
position of an average ad valorem
duty of about as per cent. on cotton
goods, or about four times the cost of
the labor involved in their produc-
ton. This proposition is also in the
interest of the manufacturers. Its
object is to further enrich the latter
without benefit to labor and by in
creasing the price of cotton goods to
consumers.
The present tariff law is in many re-
spects an outrage on the American
public, and if amended as the Senate
majority contemplates it would be
worse outrage still.-Dubuque (Ia.)
Telegraph.
