The Protecticnist.

One particular industrial establish
ment in Philadelphia has paid wages
in the past twenty-three wears
amounting to about s30,00O,O00. A
Republican tariff made this possible.
Without this home manufacture our
own workingmen would have at least
been out of pocket that much money
and been out Of that much constant
employment This same money has
found Its way into the pockets of our
farmers and into the treasury of our
mechanics, and is represented in
thousands of homes, owned by all
those who helped to circulate it. and
Is now counted as part of the perma-
nent wealth Of our city, State and
country. The sill answer TO this, as
made by freetraders, Is Yes, but
one or two individuals have or NAV
have larger share of this new wealth
than all the others" Granting that
the bold originator of an American
enterprise that mas proven a success
has retained S1,OO0,0OO out of $50
OOO,OO paid as wages, Is that any
reason why we should throw the
other S29,O00,0O0 away; let it go
50 that one or two abroad
may capture s5,OOO,OOO or perhaps
so, ,OO0,O00' If all the good that
comes from homework and home
wages brings with it little real or
supported evil, that is no reason why |
we should part with all the good. |
Save the good, and go to work IN a |
proper manner to correct what may
be wrong. The wealth that the |
wage-payer has accumulated is only |
wealth dependent upon the prosperi-
~ of those who received the wages.
The wealth may be in mills and ma
,hinery, added to which Is excellent
credit, credit that will in
sure the forthcoming of funds to paw
the hands every Saturday night. 1t
S wealth that is entirely dependent
lpon the active whirl of the machi-
lery, and the mills crowded with
thrifty, prosperous workers, who
when they leave the mills at night en-
.er their own homes, paid for out of

What Is Cider !!

In the case of commonwealth
against Reyburg, which was a crimi
nal prosecution against the defend
ant for selling cider without ,
hquor license, the supreme court
delivered an opinion reversin G
the quarter sessions of Warren Co
and sending back for decision bv a
Jury the question whether cider can
be freely included under any one of
the four kinds of liquor-malt, brew.
ed, ylnous or spiritous-for the sale
OF winch license is required.
1t being admittedly neither malt
or brewed, it does not call for a Ii
c'nse, unless it is either vinous or
splrltuous. The county court held
that the prosecution against Rev
burg would not lie because cider was
not an Intoxicating" liquor, but the
supreme court holds this to be er-
roneous. The question is not is not
Is not is 1t Intoxicating but is If
vlnous or spurious ! And this the
court declares Is not a question of
law for the court but one of fact for
the jury. I'm common acception /"
says Judge Williams, by whom the |
Supreme Court opinion is delivered |
CIDER Is not understood to be either
a vlnous or spirituous beverage. and
Vet when fermented, it doubtless
contains a percentage of alcohol suf-
hclent to bring it within the fair
meaning of the term svinous. and
although not the product of distiIla-
ton, 1t may when mixed with spir-
ltous liquor and sold in that condi-
ton under the name of cider. be re-
Sarded as the spurious within the
meaning of the prohibition. The
evidence on the trial was very weak
indeed. No skilled person having
S1nowledge of the composition of ci.
Ter was called, and there was no di-
rect evidence as to whether the Go-
lor sold as cider was vinous or spir-
tous liquor, but we do not know and
,ahnot say, as matter of law, that its
,haracter may not be so changed by
ermentation as to bring it within
he meaning of the term 'vinous.' OF

The discovery of gold-bearing
quartz IN the Buckland Hills of Mass
chusetts has excited the farmers and
land owners of that vicinity, snd some
predict regular old-fashioned Cali
fornia boom. The veins lie 1900 feet
above the sea level, and run through
blue slate rock in a northerly and
southerly direction, nearly parallel
with the glacial striae on the surface
rock The dip of the veins is very
nearly perpendicular and they in

No ASYLUM 70 re Built.

At the meeting or the Gloucester County
Board of Freeholders last week the ques-
tion OF building a county insane asylum
was brought up. Mr.. Dilkes advocated a
county institution as less expensive to the
taxpayers of the county than the present
method Of paying for the support OF the
county insane in the State Asylum. Free
holder Moore opposed the project. lie
believed that she county could save money
by having its own institution and running
it as other county asylums are managed,
but that the patients would not be as we'll
cared for as in the State Asylum. The
motion to build an asylum was lost.

The Philadelphia Ledger of Monday had
the following TO say in reference to the
shad season, just opening in the Delaware:
There are, as usual. varying opinions
among fishermen and dealers AS to the
prospects of the coming slad fishing sea-
son in the Delaware. Some contend that
the seasons alternate, and that last year
being a good one this year viii be a poor
one. Others say: ave know nothing,
ard cannot prophesy What will be the re-
sult OF this years shad season. 1t is gov
crned by circumstances" The opinion
seems to he general that the ''rnn' ofsbad
will besinearlier this year than usual, as
there are but little SNOW and ice in the up
per Delaware TO melt and come down.

proper temperature to tempt the shad ON
the journey to their spawning grounds.
The s'gillers'' all along the river are ready
to put their nets in the water at the earliest
moment, while down in the bay they are

1t has been but a few years since the
residents of the Northern States had TO
wait until the waters in their vicinity were
ready to yield their shad before they could
indulge in the fayorite ~piscatorial luxury.
Now, fresh shad are in the Northern mar
kets as early rs January. Florida begin
ming to send hers first by fast freight,
followed by the Savannah production;
then the North Carolina and Virginia sea-
son opens and continues until the Della
ware bag and river fish are in season.
