The Farmers and Protection

The Farmers and Protection.
The America farmer, although he
cultivates the most -5sstlle soil in the
world and ought to be the most pros
porous member of the community, is
constantly engaged in a hard strug-
gle TO secure comfortable support
for his family and moderate edu-
cation for his children, and to pay
his taxes and keep out of debt.
This is all he can hope to accomplish;
in large majority of cases he fails
even to do this, and sooner or later
is compelled to sell or mortgage his
land and reduce his expenditures to
to the lowest possible figure. He
has paternal government which de-
termIned that certain classes of in
durtry ought to be maintained at
public expense, and for thirty years
he has been taxed for their support !;
and now after these favored indus
tries have become rich and powerful
they combine and confederate under
the name of trust, syndieates and
| pools, and dictate the terms upon
which the people may procure the
necessaries of life and carry on their
business. Under our system OF tax
alton the farmer is almost without
the sembIance of power to protect
his own interests. The manufaCtur-
ers can foresee with almost absolute
certainty what the quantity of their
product will be upon the employment
of any given number of hands, and
therefore they can combine whenever
they chose to limit production and
increase prices; but the farmer S
crop depends almost upon the char.
acter of the season he may have and
he cannot decide in advance bow
much he must plant in order to fur
nish supply that will not be in ex
cess of the demand. Notwithstand.

tages under which the farmer labors
and which no act of congress can re.

HIM than any one else, and he refer!

material welfare of the farming anC

opinion. "All TINS comfort ant

to protection. 1t would be far NOR

The Spelling Book.

Experience has confirmed my
belief in the use Of a good textbook
as necessity. While / would make
iudicious selections nom the his
tory, geography and reading book,
I would rely mainly upon the spell
ing book, since the vocabulary
furnished by the Others is too
meagre- -
There is, even now, conflict Of
opinion among authorities as 70 the
success Of our instruction In this
DEPARTMENT. The supervisors, who
examine the written work Of our
pupils al the close Of the year, pro-
nounce It very good; and they cite
results % prove II The high school
men, on the other hand, declare
that the spelling Of the pupils who
come 10 them, and they get q large
percentage Of the best scholars, Is
very unsatisfactory; and they pre-
seut facts which seem to justify
their opinions.

Can these diverse verdicts be ex
planned, and " 30 in what ways /
think they can.
The words used by pupils in their
diploma examinations are words in
eluded In the vocabulary with which
they have become familiar: urou
Them they secure good results.
When, however, the same boys and
girls go TO high schools or seek and
secure positions in store or office.
they are brought at once in contact
with a new class Of words which
are outside the range OF their drill,
anu on these they fail and the in
struction In spelling is condemned.
There are SssbUrn spellerso who
may need tut little instruction.
There are those who will perpetu-
ally remain miserable speliers'; re-
garliless Of any pains which may be
taken with them.
What shall be done with the great
majority who come between these
two extremes? Drill, drill, and
keep drilling from a textbook. Let
tue book be a good one and teach
1t well. The difference between
good and had teaching may be
shown in this branch, as well rs in
any other.
Many -eem to think, that If only
pupils are caused to see words fire.

recently came under my own OBJ
servation. i was siLtirg at the de.
of one OF my assistants, who
has cl - which had BEEN
about nine weeks in thel grammar
school Upon the desk lay a pile OF
geography examination papers, and
as / glanced over them was 50
struck with the great variety OF
combinations used in the attempt to

spelling the word. .-----.s.-

than'this, the word in question had

THE DOG AND TIE sHoEELAcR.

An English officer, who was in
Paris in ISIS, mentions the case OF
dog belonging to n shceblack,
which Irought customers to its
master. Tins Il did in n very in
genious, though scarcely honest,
manner. The officer, having &C.

over The Seine, hsd his boots, which
had been previously polished, dirtied
by poodle deg rubbing against
them He, in consequences, went 70
n man who was stationed on the
bridge and had them cleaned. The
same circumstances having occurred
more than once, his curiosity was
excited and he watched the dog.
He saw the dog roll himself in the
mud Of the river, and then watch
for a person with wellpolished boots,
against which he contrived to rub
himself. Finding that the shoe
black was the owner OF the dog, the
officer taxed him with the artifice;
and, after little hesitation, the
man confessed that he had taught
the dog The trick in order to procure
customers for himself. The officer,
being much struck with the dogs
sagaeity, purchased him at high
price and brought him to England.
he kept him tied up for some time
and then released him. The. dog
remained with Kim a day or two
and then made his escape. A fort
night aiterward he was found with
his former master, pursuing his old
trade Of dirtying gentlemen's boots |
on the bridge.

BRIEF STORIES AB0UTANIAALs

A clergyman travelling In Turkey,
having passed through a part OF the
country where the plague was rag
ing, was obliged to remain in vii
lage for come days. The place was
very wretched;time hung heavily on
his hands, and everybody kept at a
distance from him through fear OF
the Infection. One morning, while
at breakfast, woodpeeker flew In
at the window of his room, and soon
made itself quite. at home, hopping
on the table and picking up the
crumbs. Ii had belonged TO a little
girl; she was just buried, and by n
singular instinct it had left the
house OF the dead and flown into
his room. It's habits were so Curl
GUS, and Il was so familiar, that the
clergyman was quite pleased with
il. Ii climbed up the wall by any
stick or cord near it devouring
dies. 1t sometimes began at his
boot, and at one race would run up
his arm or leg, or round his neck
and down the other arm, and 50 10
the table. Ii would there. tap with
its bill as loud as hammer, when il
did 80, Il would look intenuy at the
place, and dart at any fly or insect
1t saw running.

his notes Obliged her often. to put
him outside the window among

THE IvpRrsoNED DUCK.

/. A young duck, by some accident,
had its leg broken, and tie Wounded
limb having been put In spiinis, the
duck was placed under small crate.
CT nailed coop, TO prevent it, for n
time, from running about. The
poor prisoner looked very forlorn In
the cage, and was evidently an Oh
ject Of pity to its brothers and sis
ters around. They tried 10 release
their companion by forcing their
necks under the crate and 50 lift 1t,
but the effort was beyond their
strength. Onascertaining this they
held a consultation and then they
marched away in a body. Present.
~ they resppeared With all
the ducks belonging to = the
fsrmyard, amounting 10 about forty.
After a great deal Of quacking, they
surrounded the crate, and every neck
Syas inserted under the lowest rail;
they then made a united effort TO
raise the crate, but alas. in vain,
their strength WIS not sufficient
Another consultation was now held,
and, after anothersterm Of qnacking,
the whole Of them came TO one side
Of the crate; as many as possibly
could now thrust their necks be-
meath the rail, the rest pushing them
forward from behind. This tine
they succeeded, the crate was RAISED,
their imprisoned friend was libcr-
ated, and nOigy were the greetings
she received as she limped, once
more free, into their midst.
