SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT WAGES

II protection makes wages higher,
does any laboring man believe that
manufacturers would rush in hordes
to Congress TO plead for higher pro.
tection ?
Why do our McKinleyites never
try to explain the fact that wages
are much higher in "free trade Eng.
land" than highly protected France
and Germany
IL protection makes Wages higher
in the United States than in Eng
land, how il IL that wages were
higher hero than in England even
hundred years ago, when England
was protected country and we had
free trade?
II protection makes wages higher,
why is it that wages in our non
protected industries, requiring skill.
ed labor, are higher than in protec-
ted industries Of similar require.
ments.
II protection makes wages higher,
Why is il that farm labor, railroad
employees, carpenters, masous and
similar unprotected workers, get
much higher wages here than in
Europe !.

STRANGE AND ROMANTIC.
A Family Brought Together or the
Opening up or Oklahoma Territory.

CHANDLER, o. r., October le.
Many queer incidents have been
recorded concefning the events
which marked the opening OF this
new Territory to settlement, and
especially about the grand rush for
homos, but probably notie have
such an element Of strangeness and
romance rs the reu 1Ion OF n family
which has been separated for seven.
teen years.
John Reed lived in Newport, r.
l., in 1874, and had trouble in
his home affairs. He and his wife
agreed to separate, and as they had
two children they each took one.
They did not get divorce AS their
religious scruples stood in the way,
but went their own WAYS. the wife
taking tho boy, aged four, while
Reed took the girl, aged seven.
They gradually drifted apart, and
for the last ten years had heard
nothing Of each other.
One night, just before the open
ing of this town to settlement, a
young man came to the campfire of
Reed, and was among those waiting
for the opening, aud asked for some
tea for his mother, who was i'll from
the excitement of the rusl. Reed g

only gave him tho tea, but went
with him to see If she could be of
Nly assist n e t tie afflicted w,nal
During the visit the fact became
known that both parties bore the
same name, and Mrs. Reed began
asking questions and showed sdch
interest that the young woman
thought it strange; but as she had
no idea that her mother was in the
West she took no deep interest in
the matter. When she got back
to her fathers camp she told him
OF thu woman with their name and
spoke Of her curious questions.
Reed at once became deeply IN
terested and early in the morning
went to the camp. His wife and he
Immediately recognized each other
and u reconcili ltioa ut oHce took

and wife, who will re.ew their
youth with a honeymoon in seeking
