A PREDICTION VERIFIED.
Facts Which Prove Beyond Doubt Tha
Protection Protects.

Protection Protects.
| 1t is fact perfectly well known to
! ordinarily well-informed people-among
| whom. as a matter Of course, those
| unfortunate beings who are afflicted
, with a mania for British free trade are
| not to be classed = that Alexander
! Hamilton, when Secretary of the Treas
| ury, foretold one of the great benefits Of
the protective system in his declaration
| that the ultimate effect Of a protective
| tariff would be the cheapehing of the
| products of American ind astries to the
/ consumer. r.. r..r.4f
All propositions of that sort are at
once combatted with vociferous fury by
| the free traders, whose pet theory 1t is
| that the tariff raises the price on pro-
I tected articles to the consumer by pre-
| cisely the duty paid. Nevertheless,
their entire truth has been a hundred
times proven and has of late been most
conspieuously shown by the ruling
prices in the iron and steel markets of
England and the United States
Repeatedly within the past few
months English and American makers

the same prices for their wares, although
the American tariff on steel rails is a
heavy one. I'D. .....R .ys4
How do our free-trade friends propose
to. account for this fact, which knocks
their theory into innocuous desuetude?
How do they propose to account for
the fact that the American workman,
producing steel rails under the protect
i've tariff, receives far higher wages, is
far better clothed. fed and housed than
the laborers who are enjoying the (theO-
reticaI) blessings of free trade across the
seas2' sif'

AMERICAN COMMERCE.
The Only Basis on Which Our Foreign
Trade Can BE Restored.

Trade Can BE Restored.
Senator Frye has introduced two bills
intended to promote the postal and
commercial interests of the United
States, and for the encouragement of
commerce, the protection of navigation,
and the improvement of the merchant
marine and the foreign trade. The first
bill authorizes the Unconstitutional
to contract for the carrying of mails be-
tween the United States and foreign
ports in American built and owned
steamships, TO be constructed on models
approved by the Secretary OF the Navy,
and with sufficient strength to be armed
in emergencies, and to be used as Gov
eminent transports or cruisers in the
event of war. Compensation for mail
service by first-class shils Of this char
acter is not to exceed six dollars per
mile on outward voyages, and for the
second-class not more than four dollars
per mile. Provisions ara also made for
the shipping of American-born boys as
cadets or apprentices on such vessels,

And how often have l formed back
ground for scenes of love and scenes of
hate!-but all that was in the dim long
ago.
This train of thought was started by
hearing an unusual amount of noise
outside; finally the rusty lock was
turned, and our dismal gloom was
Enlightened by party of American tour
lists. 1t was so delightful to once more
look down on jolly company that
fairly shook with pleasure and excite

and exclaimed with little scream:
<Oh! ! know there must be skeleton
or ghost behind that lovely old tap

This drew general attention to me,

charming companion, tired of gazing at

the graceful Cupids which were repre-

"Why, these cherubs remind me that

called to join the party. and in the con-
fusion of departure the valentine to

The old gallery seemed like dismal
den after the departure of the pict-
uresque girls, but a day or two later the
rusty lock again announced visitors.
This time young man was in the COM
pany. whose ohservant eye soon fell
upon the sketch in the window-seat, and
the valentine verse beginning dearest

amusement; and his own name being

LITTLE BIRDS AT SEA.
The Vague and Casual ROamers of the
Mighty Ocean.

The Vague and Casual ROamers OF tho
Mighty Ocean.
Every day we see playing around the
ship, and slsinming up aud down the
wave hollows companies of little terms
and sea swallows. the latter no larger
than thrusfiRs. These fearless people of
the air have. not by any means followed
us from the land living, as gulls often
sci. They are vague and casual roamers
of the ocean. who, spying the great
steamship from afar, have sailed close
up to see if we are rock or an island,
and will then skim away again on their
own free and boundless business.
Yonder tiny bird, with purple and
green plunage, his little breast and
neck laced with silver, is distant one
thousand miles at this moment from a
drop of fresh water, and yet cares no
more for that fact than did the Irish
squire who Lived twelve miles from a
lemon If his wings every grow weary
it is but to settle quietly on the bosom
of a great billow and suffer it
for a time to rock and roll him amid the
Kissing spindrift, the milky flying foam
and the broken sealace which forms and
CLEANS and disappears again upon the
dark slopes. When he pleases, a stroke
of the small red foot and beat of the
wonderful wing launch him off from the
Jagged edge of his billow, and he fits
past US at one hundred knots an hour,
laughing steam and canvas TO scorn, and
steering for some nameless crag in Lab
rador or Fundy, or bound, it may be,
homeward for some island or marsh of
the far-away Irish coast.
Marvelously expressive Of power as is
our untiring engine, which all day and
all night throbs and pants and pulses in
noisy rhythm under the deck, what a
clumsy, imperfect affair it is compared
to the dainty plumes and delicate mus
cles which will carry that pretty, fear
less sea swallow back to his roOst!-Sir
Edwin Arnold.
