Tne New Orleans Mint Turning Ont q
Hundred thousand Day.
The New Orleans mint began coin
ing dimes Monday for the first time
since 1853, and will turn out lO0,-
600 dimes a day. 1t is said that
this order is due to the recent
ly introduced dime pocket savings
banks which have locked up SO
many of these coins that ought to be in
circulation as to render them scarce
and insufficient for business purposes.
The coinage of dimes at the mint will
require it to reduce the output of
standard dollars and has also caused an
increase in the force of men employed,
as the work is much heavier

EUROPEAN PROTECTION.
The Manufacturer Dances and the Farmer
Paws the Fiddler.

The Manufacturer Dances and the Farmer
Pays the Fiddler.
That is not a very pleasant piece of
news for our farmers which comes
from Europe to the effect that the gov
ernments of Germany, Austria, Italy,
Switzerland, Belgium, Holland and the
small states on the Danube are now
negotiating a gigantic customs union
for the purpose of bringing about
closer trade relations among them
selves. 1t is announced that our Nc
Kinleyism was one cause operating in
this movement; and it is also stated
that the products of American farms
will suffer in the markets of these
countries as the result of the measures
about to be adopted by them.
News of this kind ought to bring our
farmers to see the fallacy of our high
Mckinley tariff. The farmer must
have foreign market, and the bigger
the better. But if Blaine condemned
the Mckinley bill last year because it did
mot open a market for another bushel
of wheat or another barrel of pork, :"
what is to be said of that measure this
year when it is actually closing mar
| lxets to our farmers?
Making high tariffs is game that
two can play at; and when Mckinley
erected a tariff wall hostile to Europe
he simply invited European nations to
nav us back in our own Mckinley coin.
| Only there is one striking difference.
Our high tariff is for the protection
mainly of manufacturers; European
retaliation will strike the American
farmer, not the manufacturer. The
manufacturers dances at the pro-
tectionist frolic, but the farmer pays
| the fiddler.

OLD SONGS WITH NEW WORDS.

There was an old niger and his name
was Uncle Ned,
And he had twenty-four eyes for to see;
He turned round and most scared me TO
For he just straight looked at me.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, up above the
world so high;
Dull thy simmer, il means war, against
our ill-gotten pie.
IT'S the last rose of summer, left blooming
alone:
The might of my power lies scattered and
gone.
The moon was shining brightly, along the
battIe-plain;
Our wounds were exposed slightly, in
dread the coming pain
A little more cider for Miss Dinah a little
more cider too,
want my next hot springs in China, it's
cold I'm getting blue.
Make me no gaudy chaplet, weave it of
simple flowers,
My name is on the tablet, and fleeing are
my hours.
Then blow gentle winds DER the dark
blue sea,
The storm king holds my hand,
If just had my poor Paul free, I'd take
holder stand.
We are band of brothers, and boodlerS
of the soil,
Fighting for the property we made by
midnight toll,
And all the errors we have, we never did
conceal,
We are beyond the reach of law and not
supposed to steal.
Twas ever since my childhood hour, I've
seen my fondest hopes delay,
My sweetest friends are turning sour, and
one by one they Stea! away.
Ever of thee am fOndly dreaming, sweet
Rafael how dear | am to thee,
The world cen now thinks less of thy i'll
seeming, and how friend or foe ever
thought Of me.
