THE New York importers object 70 the
nsssage Of the Mckinley bill because, in
their own language, 1T retards the pro-
gress of the nation What utter and
ridiculous nonsense What nation IN
the history Of the world progressed as
has the United States in the last twenty
Eve years under what these importers
and other free traders are pleased 10
designate "a war tariff The nation
has increased in power and wealth and
population AZ rate that has astounded
the world anl tina. is bringing millions
for investment from across the water.
Does any one suppose that these mil
lions would come ifthe United States were
not prospering, and does any one suppose
that the millions would not stop coming
ifthe owners thought it possible TO de-
stroy the American tariff system If
the American tariff could be broken
down the English millions could be used
prodtably on the other side and America
would buy with their cheaper cereals"
the product Of the English mills and fac
tories. Money will go where it is most
certain of a return for its use, and that is
why English money is now coming TO
the United States.
And again, during the past few years
the immigration of labor from Europe
assisted and unassisted- been greater
than at any time in the history of the
nation. Docs this show that the tariff is
retarding the progress Of the nation? La
Dor is like money, it goes where it gets
the best pay And it is just now coming
10 the United States by the thousands
and tens Of thousands because the United
States is the most prosperous nation on
the face Of the earth, and because labor
receives a larger proportion Of its product
than il does in any other nation of the
earth.
No, the New York importers do not
need to exercise themselves about the
progress Of the nation being retarded by
the Mckinley bill. The principle in that
bill is just what is attracting the capital
and labor of the world.-H Harrisburg Tcle-

A Cat With a Wooden Leg.


WooDFoED, Ky, June 5.-Pat McGrath
possesses a remarkable feline. His cat was
born with only three legs, and as soon as
the kitten became large enough 10 leave lis
mother Pat constructed wooden leg and
successfully adjusted it to the little stump
that grew out where pussy's fourth leg
ought TO have been. Pussy now trots along
on four legs with as much ease and comfort
apparently as though the wooden limb had
been placed there by nature. But here is
the wonderful part of the story Instead Of
killing rats and mice with her claws, as cats
usually do, pussy has learned to use her club
leg for this purpose, aud it is said to be a
very amusing sight to see her run up to
rat and knock him into insensibility with
her wooden leg.

The New England Farmer Lives Bet

Robert b Roe in the n Y. Press
our free trade friends make great cry
about the poor taxed farmers Of New Eng
land. Now, seven farmers out often in New
England are Republicans and strong pr9tec-
tionis,s. Do our free trade n-iencs thiuk
that seven tenths Of the New England farm
ers arc f3ols and don't know what they are
about? Ifthey do they are mistaken. As a
matter Of fact the farmers OF New England
live BY Ear better to-day than they ever did
before aud they can readily see that if the
misunderstanding interests flourish, they will
flourish, for if the manufacturing interests
flourish the mechanics and laborers will get
higher wages, and if they get higher wages
they will eat more potatoes and use more
tobacco. which is great Connecticut crop.
Not till we hear protests against the Mckin-
ley bill and protection from the great manu-
featuring districts OF New Eagland and else
where viii we believe that protection is not
for the best interests Of this county. ! say,
