The Nottingham Rewarded.

The fact that American laborers are
more intelligent, better cared for and
happier than the laborers of any
other country, is largely due to the
fact that they receive better wages
than do the laborers of any other
country, or in other words they can get
more Of HE hecessaries and luxuries
of life for II days work here than the V
can III any other country on earth, and
the reason why this is so, is not be-
cause this country is newer than all
other countries, for that is not true
but 1t Is because it is better country
possessing better conditions, and these
conditions have been WISELY pro-
tected from foreign kings and their
pauperized subjects; and reserved fol
the enjoyment of Americans. True
the price of living in this country AS
well as be price of wages is higher
than 1t Is in England, and this is as il
should be, Americans rich and poor
live chiefly upon the products OF
American labor; dignfied and re-
warded labor; made SO by American
protection. Ours is not a policy that
protects the laborer who is working in
the mines, the mills and the camps
and leaves unprotected the laborer
who feeds and clothes them.
Ours is the broad, American, and
purely REPUBLICAN policy that gives
equal protection to all American in
dustries. America is good enough for
Republicans and all they ask is the
privilege of enjoying it without being
Interferred with by pauperized Europe,
heather Africa or rat-tailed Asia.
We prefer to pay twenty-five per cent.
more Tor the things we consume and
receive e per cent more for the SER
vices that we render; for then the
difference between our wages and the
cost of living, which is our savings,
viii! be jq2t % per cent larger. and so
SAID the Intelligent laborers of this
nation two years ago.-W. H. X.

Bismarck and the Maine Girls


A Berlin letter to the Lewiston Jour
nal says: "a few weeks ago COM
pany of young ladies from Maine made
a vow that they would not only see Bis
marck, but shake hands with him. And
they accomplished their VOW in the
most easy and natural manner. The oc-
casion was bazaar given at Bismarck S
palace in Berlin for the benefit of
for the aid of the poor. The Maine girls
repaired to the palace at 1:3O D. NJ, and
found the apartments crowded with
people buying goods, much as is done
in our New England bazaars.
Presently the young ladies saw that
the worshipe S of Bismarck began to
be aware of his presence, and half a
dozen bouquets were placed in his
hands.
"What lovely flowers the Prince
hasu' said one of the girls in English.
Bismarck overheard the remark. and
turning to the young lady and shaking
her hand, said also in English:
But do you not think there are more
bestowed ON me than | deServe"
IF | had more | would add them to
your stock" she retorted.
Bismarck laughed, and ADDED: II am
very glad to see tnaL you Americans
take interest enough in the bazaar to
come here"
The Maine girls again found it con-
venient to speak in somewhat enthusi-
astic terms in English of what they saw
and heard.
What a magnificent man Prince Bis
marck iSr' remarked one.
The prince turned and smiled and eX-
tended his hand to each of the Maine
girls and said:
"And you, too, are Americans. And
you think the palace is magnificent, do
you. l am glad it pleases you. | am
happy to welcome you as Americans"
The happy way in which the chancel'
lor misunderstood the compliment to
himself and appropriated it to his pal
ace, shows that his intellect is not i'm
paired by years.
