The Injustice Of Protection.

A conversation with a shop-girl is
recorded. She made 1920 year. It
cost her for board $10S. SO and to dress
$111.50. Asked why she spent so
much money on her clothes, the reply
was: 1.-THE bosses make us dress nice
and it costs half our wages. hope
you will help us AMI that the Govern.
ment will make the price of dress
goods come down." Mr. Meriwether's
apt remarks are: "This salesgirl prob
ably does not understand ten lines OF
political economy, but, forced by the
nature of her occupation to spend
large portion of her meager earnings
on dress, she wants the Government to
help her by making the price of dress
goods come down Tie principal way
for the Government to accomplish this
is to abolish the high-tarif taxes.
That is the first step that is being de-
manded by the wage learners, both
men and women, the more they reaec.
on the way protection protects them
by raising prices on all the neces-
carries of life." Lee Neriwether's

The Colt at WEAVING Time and After.

Mr. Seymour Brooks, of Wisconsin,
in a paper before recent Wisconsin
Farmers Institute, gave the following
valuable suggestions as to the proper
method of handling the trotting- bred
colt at weaving time and after:
Atweaning time tie the mare in a
box-stall, put halter on the colt and
tie him by her side. That will be sat
isfactory to both of them. Let loose
the colt three times a day to nurse. for
few days. Do not give the dam
much water; it will help to dry her
milk. Keep a pail of water before the
colt, also bran and oats. In about
four days take the mare away and put
her to work. Let us aim to keep the
colt thriving. 1t can be done with
feed. Different colts will need differ
emit amounts. Do not be afraid of feed
ing too much; it will not hurt him.
American Eclipse was fed six quarts
of oats the first year and it did not
hurt him.

PERSONAL PARTICULARS.

WASHINGTON was an enormous eater. his
usual dinner, one commentator says, would
have made three ordinary men sick.
GLADSTONE is said to have no memory Of
faces, but facts and principles with him
have tho adhesive force Of . sticking
plaster.
NJ. DE LEssEPs, says q Paris letter, is
rarely seen in society nowadays, and his
name is seldom quoted in tho papers. Not
many months ago De Lesseps was name
to conjure with.
BR1GADIER-GENERAL DRUM lately placed
on the retired list, is believed to be the first
private soldier that ever attained the rank
Of q Brigadier- General in tho regular army
of the United States.
B. r. SH1LLABER, better known as Mr.
Darlington, who has been for the last seve-
or eight years confined with rheumatism,
has made an alliterative joke about his
truly pitiable condition. "Here sit from
years end to years end. armed with pen,
paper, pipe, pills and patience"

MRS HARRISON is a very busy woman.
Her correspondence is something enormous
and demands great share Of her time. She
receives letters from all sorts Of cranks,
most of whom beg some sort OF favor at her
hands. Many Of the letters are impertinent,
rude or malicious, and these are tossed into
waste basket at once. All OF the re.
mainder are answered, if possible.
LoNDoN's famous preacher, Rev. G. b.
Spurgeon, says thathe is always preparing
his sermons, reading and thinking, but the
specific preparation begins at six o'clockon
Saturday evening. His great difficulty is
to find q text, he having preached so many
sermons in the course of his life. His pub
lished sermons fill thirty-three volumes,
and these he keeps on shelf near at hand,
SO that he may look back and sec that he
does not repeat himself.
PRESIDENT HARRIsoN is becoming q fam.
Gus tramp He is generally accompanied
by his private secretary or ono of the MEN,
bers Of his Cabinet, and he talks business
as he walks, but he gets the air and exer-
else all tho same. TO some one who was
speaking to him on this subject tho other
day, the President said: I must have
exercise and must have air. would just
as soon think Of going without my dinner,
or of sitting up all night without sleep, as
would Of losing my daily exercise"
SPEAKING of Mrs. Alice ]. Shaw, the
American whistler, an English critic re-
marks that mary people have been asked
out to hear her in London regarding tho
whole thing as joke, and have come away
in simple wonder ct the unlooked-for dis.
play of her powers. They have found her
q sound musician and subtle mistress of
herparticular art They have concluded that,
through her special medium, ..shc could fill
Covent Garden with ecstatic trills or sink
into the softest whispered notes, the execu-
ton Of which only years of rehearsal could
achieve"

1t Is estimated by the Treasury De-
partment that at the present rate of
payments the bill for pensions for the
fiscal year will amount to over han
drcd millions. l. this rate Of increase
would be maintained for the next ten
years the disbursements for pensions
at the end of that time would be about
$3.50, 100000.
The receipts from customs taxes last
year amounted to about $219, 900. 900
and from internal revenue to about
1924, 900, 000-a total of $343, 600, 600.
II the disbursements for general pur-
poses-and these do not include those
for the reduction of the public debt
should not increase at all in the
next decade and the present
rate of increase in the disburse-
ments for pensions should be main
tanned, there would be call for $7O,-
100000 more than the present revenue
afforcs. 1t naturally follows that if
the expenditures for pensions increase
at such pace as that set by the new
commissioner there must be no cutting
down of the revenue. This seems a
strange statement in view of the state
ments that have been made concern
ing the injurious existence of the sur
plus.
Now, while there can be no honest
objection to granting deserving vet
Grams of the late war public support
and without questioning the propriety
Of the present Pension Commissioners
policy, it is evident that the people
must pay not only as heavy taxes as
they are now paying but heavier.
Within the next ten years there will
necessarily be great change in the
popular policy OF the Government.
The pension roll will have to be made
