Camille
The evening prayers which the neigh
Dor used regularly with her children, were
another enigma for the girl. She knelt
with her friends, and Joined her hands
without knowing wherefore. The Chevalier

deaf mute. A religious procession, a coarse,
gaudily bedizened image of the Virgin, a
choir boy in a shabby surplice, whose voice
was all unheard by Camille-who knows
what simple means will serve to raise the
ewes of a child? And what matters it, so

the true spirit of protection. He fearlessly
proclaims that so long as the products of
the mill receive the benefits of protective
duties, the farmer should demand SINH
lar protection for their own products. He
gives the wool manufacturers fair warning
that the abolition of duties on manufacture
ed wool must either accompany, or soon
follow, the placing of wool upon the free
list. The wool growers will, he tells us,
see to that part of the program. We ex-
tract from the address as follows;
Just as far as we import from foreign
countries the products OF focks, fields,
forests, mines or shops, just to that extent
do we destroy our own market tors them,
and deprive labor of employments and
their rewards. So far as We import for
eign wool and mutton we destroy our own
market and by competition reduce the re-
wards which we may receive for any we
may produce The people of the United
States annually consume 600 100000
pounds of wool on the unwashed basis,
v hich will require all that can be grown
upon 100, 900. 0G0 sheep. OF these one half
80, 900 00O' should be Merlnos, producing
00,000.0p0 pounds of wool; 25,00O,000
should De Southdowns, ShropshIres, Cots
wolds and other long-wooied mutton sheep,
producing Us, 600 900 pounds, and 50OO,-
900 should be native coarse and quarter
blood sheep, producing lbs, 1000 600
pounds. This distribution eff sheep would
supply every pound of every kind of wool
needed in the country, and would be
adapted to our different soils, climates and
conditions. The older states would pro-
duce Merinos and long-wooled mutton
sheep, the common AMI quarter blood
sheep adapted to arid plains and with a
capacity to rustic" for subsistence, and
thrive where others would not, and pro-
duce lambs where others would not, would
employ grazing lands in Texas, some OF
the territories and hill and mountain re-
gions in all the states and territories thus
our people could utilize lands adapted to
cultivation in crops, alternated and kept
fertile by grazing sheep, and utilize other
lands which eaunot be made available for
any other purpose than sheep husbandry'

Superiority of American Machinery

This is rather significant statement,
says the Boston Jouranl, that appears in
London industries relative TO the superior
character of American machinery. 1t is
calculated to give as little to free trade of
the United as to the manufacturers of
England, The London Journal, describ'
ing large company that has been formed
in Brazil for manufacturing purposes, de-
cared that "a representative of the con-
earn Is in the United States buying ma
chinery (which includes paper making
plant saw mill and a steam laundry APP
piances He has visited Germany, France.
Belgium and England, and is reported to
have declared that American machinery
is superior to anything made in Europe.
The price Of European machinery was,
he said, a little lower, but the American
machines are much more labor saving
This is a striking confederation, from an
unfriendly European source, OF business
truth for which American protection
lists have always coniented This IS I'M
questionabIy a large market for our
machinery in the Litin-American repub-
lic., and all that Is required is for our
merchants to show the same enterprise
and energy in pushing their goods as THEN
European rivals do, and for our govern
ment to aid in providing the same means
of swift and regular communication.
