Protection for Wage Earners.

Protection for Wage Earners.
American Economist
Why need foreigners labor so zeal
ously and pay SO literally to have our
tariff reduced, it it be true, as alleged,
that they will be content to sell their
products to our people at present
prices less the duty? They now have
this privilege, as they are only require
to pay the tariff to bring their wares
into competition with the products Of
domestic industries. Their dissatis.
faction with this arrangement is proof
that they desire the substitution Of
some arrangement more favorable for
themselves. Their desire is to sell to
our people more goods than are now
bought abroad, and under this in
creased demand they hope for q
chance to increase prices, as they in.
variably have done whenever oppor-
tun.ty offered.
But inasmuch as the necessities Of
our people are provided for under
existing arrangements, All increased
sale Of foreign produ IS means a di-
minished market for home products.
This means less work for the thou.
sands Of workers now engaged in
making what foreigners propose to
supply. The people thus thrown out
of employment must either 60 hungry
and cold or find work in some other
business shan that 10 which they have
been trained, and in which by reason
Of skill acquired their services are
most valuable.
Right at this point the situation as
sumes especial interest for every citi-
zen of this country who is compelled
to earn living. Every man thrown
out of work to which he is best
adapted aud compelled to crowd the
lists of workers in some ether industry,
by SO much renders steady employ
ment for all workers the more precar.
ious and tho maintenance Of fair
wages the more difficult The more
work there is done in this country the
better will it prove for the workers,
by adding security to the tenure Of
their employ ment and keeping the
matter of wages more completely
under their control And the men
who work fur living cannot afford
to lose sight Of this fact, however
sweetly the siren Of free trade may
sing in their ears.

Kissed by Robert Emmett.

Grandma Hurleyis dead. She was 10
years old, and she will be buried to-day
from the little shanty, p Sherwood
place, where she had been living with
her grandchildren and great-grand child
rem, says the San Francisco Examiner.
She was born Aug. II, 1878, and her
name, before she married one Of the
Hurley boys, was Mary Sullivan. They
were neighbors near Bantry Bay in Ire
land, and young Hurley marched with
pike beside her own brothers when
General HOche came over from France
in 170S and led them in the fight for lib
erty.
She was a pretty girl Of Is then, and
she was never tired of telling how
she had watched the brave Irish boys
march away in their green uniforms
faced with white. The Sullivan boys
fell before the British soldiers, but
young Hurley got away, though desper-
ately wounded. They nursed him to
life back in the hills, for there was no
safety for the men who marched with
Hoche, and when the young Irishman
was we'll and strong again he married
his dead comrades pretty sister and
came to America.
She was one of the SullivanBeares,
whose names appear in every struggle
made by Ireland for freedom. There
were two things on which Mrs. Hurley
particularly prided herself. One was
that she belonged to this famous family,
and the olher was that she had been
kissed by Robert Emmett, who stopped
for all hour once at the Sullivan farm.

Cost of POSieS.

A few days ago I heard good story
about Jimmy Powers, now playing in
"a Straight Tip" He had minor
part in a comedy in Chicago few years
ago, and during the performance had to
do some "knock-about' business. The
second night that he appeared one OF
the ushers brought handsome big
bouquet of roses to him to the footlights.
Every night during the engagement he
received similar bouquet, and it was
not long before the other actors and
actresses in the company began haunting
him about his unknown admirer, who,
strange to relate, never sent a card or
note asking the pleasure of meeting
him. The comedy was billed for two
weeks, and on the last night, when the
bouquet was sent to him, Jimmy noticed
a neatly folded note among the roses.
He ran to his dressing-room, opening
the note on the way, and you can
imagine his surprise when he read the
following:
81 am wattor in q resterant, and the
boss gives me all the tiours what is on
the t&bulls when the resterant clozes.
Them is what sent 10 you every mite.

How Senator Reagan Gained Fame

The resignation of Senator Reagan, OF
Texas, recalls story of how he CHANGED
to remove to the state that is now his
home and which has so signally honored
him. He was living in Sewer County,
Tenn, in 1888, and was sent by his
father to grist mill to have sack of
wheat converted into -four. He was a
big raw-boned, strapping country boy.
According to custom he hitched his
horse at the mill, took the sack OF grain
upon the shoulders and toted it up three
flights of stairs and took his place IN
the line, as people are wont to DO still
at county post offices, waiting for his
turn to have his wheat ground. Half
an hour or SO after Reagan arrived at
the mill wellknown local character
came, bringing a sack of grain to be
ground also. This last character was a
terror, fond of brawls and fighting, and
keeping the community more or less
terrorized. He had to take his place in
line with the rest, but when it got to be
Reagan's turn to have his grain ground
''the terror" said: See here, Reagan,
I am in a hurry. You let me get in
your place and you come back here
where l am" Reagan demurred,
stating that he was in hurry, too; that
he was entitled to his place and meant
to keep it. This angered the brawler.
He cursed young Reagan, and said he
would fling him out through the widow,
and, suiting the action to the word,
made a rush for the future statesman.
Reagan, like all the rest of the people
IN the neighborhood, was more or less
terrorized by this desperate, and in
fear of his life rushed for him, met the
desperate halfway, butted him in the
stomach with his head, and literally
lifted him off his feet and threw him
through the window. When the despera-
do disappeared through the window the
consequence of his act flashed upon
young Reagan's mind. He instantly
supposed that he had killed man, that
he would be hanged for it, and, scared
almost to death, be rushed downstairs,
unhitched his horse, and lit out across
the country for Texas. The man was
not killed, but got good shaking up.
He soon moved to Texas and was a
friend to Reagan in after life.

"Who are you, and what do you

"But what do you want here -

RelladOnna.

Beuadonna, says a doctor, is said to
have taken its name from the use pretty
women make of it to improve their
complexions and make themselves
prettier still. There is great danger at
tending it's use for that purpose, greater
even than with arsenic, which is more
freouentIv used with similar intent. A
belladonna fend is not often met with,
but I have had some to treat, and the
work is far from pleasant, owing to the
terrible smell the breath acquires when
the system becomes impregnated with
the drug. The homeopaths use bella
donna quite freely, but only IN in
finitesimal doses, when itseems to have
a decided effect. AS is the case with all
drugs, it becomes necessary to
increase the dose after the sys-
tenn has become habltuated to
it's use. and many fiend will
take more belladonna in day than a
discinIe of Hahnemann would prescribe
in month. Before the inevitable and
horrible final result of the habit the
fiend suffers untold agonies and becomes
nervous to a degree bordering on IN
sanity, besides perspiring in the coolest
weather like man who has been run
ming up a steep hill in August. | never
met man who was addicted to the
habit and most of the fiends are women
who have lost what decency they had
when they first acquired taste for the

A Mental Tonic.

When Shakespeare wrote Of music
that it has power to soothe the savage ear
he stated a great scientific fact. Music
as medicine is now coming into play.
Says the Lancetapropos: "Itisasa men
tai tonic that music acts. Accordingly We
may naturally expect it to exert its
powers chiefly in those diseases, or
aspects Of diseases, which are due to
morbid nervous action. The evidence
of it's utility on occasions where fatigue
or worry has disturbed the proper
balance and relation between the mind
and body of the so-called healthy will
explain it's action in disease. We can
readily understand how pleasing and
lively melody can awake in jaded
brain the strong emotion Of hope, and
energizing by It's means the languld
nerve control of the whole circulation,
strengthen the heart and refresh the
yascuarity of every organ. We can
picture the same brain in forced irrita-
ton fretfullv stimulating the service Of
the vaso-motor nerves and starving the
tissues of their blood supply. Here,
again, it is easy to comprehend the reg
ulatlng effect Of quieter harmony, which
brings at once rest and diversion to
the fretting mind. Even aches are
soothed for a time by a transference of
attention, and why, then, should not
pain be lulled by music? That it is
sometimes relieved we cannot doubt.
It is especially in the graver nervous
malades, however, that we should look
for benefit from this remedy. Definite
statistics on the subject may not be
Forthcoming, but all that we have said
goes to show that states OF insanity,
which are largely influenced by the con-
I I i
dition of the sympathetic system, should
find some part of their treatment in the
hands of the musician. tits, therefore,
for such cases especially that we would
enlist his services"

An Indian jug.

There was found in Florida near Lake
Tohopekaliga, day or two ago, a per-
feet specimen of Indian pottery in the
shape of what might be termed Jug,
though without handle. 1t was found
about two feet under ground, and
evidently had in time past been washed
up from the lake, where it had perhaps
been lost by the Indians. The piece is
twenty-five inches III height and eleven
inches wide, with three-inch opening
at the top. 1t is made of red clay and
very thin. The Indians evidently used
it as vessel in which to carry water.
1t is probably the largest perfect speci-
men of Indian pottery ever unearthed
in the state, and will prove a valuable

Cute Mr.. LO!

Ex-Gov. J. Sterling Morton, of
Nebraska, was telling some Indian
stories at the capital the other day,
apropos ofthe present troubles in South
Dakota and Nebraska
"The Indian" said he, "has an idea
that the white man lives in luxury off
the work of others, and yet the agents
in the Northwest are constantly telling
him that the white man gets his living
by labor. One of our agents lectured
old Spotted Tail very roughly for the
idleness of his people. He told the
old warrior that the white man got his
fine clothes, elegant home and choice
victuas by hard work; that the white
man worked from morning till night in
the field, Office or shop. Old Spet
listened with great profoundness till
the agent was done, then said that
that he had heard something like that
from the other agents, but nothing had
ever so deeply moved him. The advice
had gone deep into his heart and
wrought great conviction. I am con-
WINGED that what on say is true said
the old chief, and | shall advise NV
people to go to work. But we must
have tools with which to work. We
want the Great Father at WASHINGTON
to send us tools, and the same kind of
tools that his people work with You
go and tell him to send us lot of those
green-covered tables, with sticks and
red and white balls, and We will work
from early sun-up until midnight. as
the men out here do, meaning the sol
diers who work on the billiard tables
around the military posts. [ should
like to hear better irony from a white
man. "-IodianopoHs Journal.
