TALKS ON THE TARIFF.
We Are the Greatest Nation of Con-
sumers in the World.

Edward Atkinson. eminent political
economist and freetrader, estimates that
with a population estimated at per cent.
of the world total, the United States uses
more than rs per cent of the entire pro-
duct of iron and steel in the world. In
other words. we are the greatest nation
of consumers in the world
Why? Because the wage-workers. the
biggest part and the foundation of the
pyramid of our population, are the best
paid in the world. Their standard of liv-
ing is higher. They get, because they
can get, more for their wages. This is
not only because they get more wages in
money. 1t is also because they find more
right at hand waiting to be bought and
for sale at the low prices arising
from the competition of thousand arti-
ticial wants than anywhere else in the
world.
Protection produces the higher wages
by establishing two industries where
there was one before. when two bos-
ses run after one man. wages are going
to be higher
Protection produces the greater variety
of articles suggesting and supplying arti-
fetal wants and competing for the priv
ilege of being purchased by the wages,
by diversifylng industries
Thus protection benefits labor both
ways. 1t benefits capital. too. when capi-
tai is far sighted enough to pay good
wages and make the laborer good con-
sumer, a money saver. home owner.
What is a producer without consumer!
Labor is a very important consumer.

Different Varieties OF the Bird and Where
They Come From.

As a reporter entered q bird fancier'i
establishment 4 few days ago he wa,
greeted with a series Of yells and
~screeches, a discordant welcome from
the parrots of all sizes and colors which
were ranged round the room and ap-
peared to vie with each other in max
ing the greatest racket.
1--WE have just received a fresh i'm
portation of parrots" said the bird
man, appearing from the menagerie-
room in the rear of the store, land
from all prospects there are a good
many fine takers among them
What varieties have your asked
the reporter.
Eat the present we have but three
varieties--the double-yellow head, the
Cuban and the African gray"
(Which variety leads in intelligence?"
asked the reporter.
81 prefer the African gray parrot"
replied the bird man, "yet the Cuban
and yellow heads make excellent talk
ers."
Where does the gray parrot come
from?"
'He comes from the west coast of
Africa. The colored men take the
young birds from their nests and sell
them TO captains or sailors of trading
vessels. The best birds come from
vessels plying between Africa and Bos-
ton"
How does the trip across tho ocean
agree with themp"
VERY well. They seem to get ac-
climated in their voyage and general
ly know how 10 talk some when they
arrive"
"How do you teach parrots to talk
and how long does il take one to
learn?"
That's a hard question to answer
Different birds vary in intelligence. A
bird will get accustomed to a place in
about two months, and il given a les
son every day can talk fairly we'll in
that time"
"How do you give a l~esson?"
1.-The morning hours are the best for
teaching. Cover the cage with a cloth.
and then in a clear voice say a word
or short sentence until the bird re-
peats it. Then commence with anoth-
err, and so on. When once it begins
to talk it is only a matter of time and
patience before it improves. Object
teaching is a good PLAN" continued
the bird man. The parrot needs
only to see and hear a barking dog,
a growing rooster or a mewing cat a
few times before an exact imitation is
given"
Suppose you have a bird hat can
talk and won't talk, is there any way
10 make it talk?"
There is no method that l am ac-
quainted with, unless it be that Of
starvation, but that's cruel, aud should
not be resorted TO-" Washington
