houses, build schools and churches, and
raise the price and value of all real estate.
What would North Adams be without
these diversified industries? How small
and struggling our industries were before
the war and before the Morrill, tariff came
to establish them on stable foundations !?
North Adams owes all its growth progress
and prosperity 10 protection, that has
guarded and developed our industries and
shielded our labor against the pauper and
prison labor of Europe.
The Transcript closes its editorial
comment by pointing out that the Ia
borer even more than the manufacturer
benefits by the protective tariff, as
as when the immediate decentralization
following the removal of duties on for
eign competing manufactures had taken
place, the disused factories here might
be bought at low figures by capitalists
who might operate them on a reduced
scale, paying wages rs low as those
which prevail in Europe. This would
mean the lowering of the American
workingman's scale of living. But there
is no chance for the continuance OF
high wages in America except the re-
tention of the protective tariff WHICH
taxes the foreigner and keeps the
American market for the home pro-
Wisconsin.

THE GRANDE CANON.
A Pretty Piece of word Painting of Cali

A Pretty Piece of Word Painting of Cali
fornia's Wonder.
Charles Dudley Warner gives the
following beautiful description Of the
Grande Canon Of Colorado:
No one could be prepared for it,
The scene is one to strike dumb with
awe or to unstring the nerves. One
might stand in silent establishment;
another would burst into tears. There
are some experiences that cannot be
epeated-One's FIRST view of Rome
ones first view Of Jerusalem. But
these emotions are produced by asSo.
citation, by the sudden standing face
to face with the scenes most wrought
into our whole life and education by
tradition and religion.
This was without association, as it
was without parallel. 1t was Il shock
SO novel that the mind, dazed, quite
failed to comprehend it. All that we
could grasp was vast confusion of
amphitheaters and strange architect
ural forms, Respondent with color.
The vastness of the view amazed us
quite as much as its transcendent
beauty. We had expected canon
two lines Of perpendicular walls g.
600 feet high, with the ribbon of Il
river at the bottom; but the reader
may dismiss all his notions of canon,
indeed of any sort of mountain or
gorge with which he is familiar.
We had come into Il new world.
What we saw was not canon or a
chasm or Il gorge, but vast area,
which is break in the plateau. From
where we stood it was twelve miles
across to the opposite walls-a level
line of mesa on the Utah side. We
looked up and down for twenty to
thirty miles. This great space is filed
with gigantic architectural construc-
tions, with amph theaterS, gOrgeS,
psecipices, walls of masonry, fort
resSeS terraced up TO the level Of the
eye, temples mountain size, all bril-
liant with horizontal lines Of color
streaks a thousand feet in width
yeAlows, mingled white and gray,
orange, dull red, brown, blue, car
mine, green, all blending in the sun
light into one transcendent Suffusion
Of splendor.
Afar off we saw the river, in two
places Il mere thread, as motionless
and smooth as strip Of mirror, only
we knew it was turbid, boiling tor
rent. 5000 feet below us. Directly
opposite to the overhangipg ledge on
which we stood was mountain, the
sloping base OF which was an aShy
gray and BLUSH; it rose in series of
terraces to thousand-fOot wall of
dark red sandstone, receding upward,
with ranges Of columns and many
fantastic sculptures, to final row OF
gigantic opera glasses6 700 feet above
the river.
