PROTECTION ANDLABOR SAVING MA.
CHINERY

There is hardly an argument brought
against the protection of home industry
by high duties that cannot be brought
against the use of labor saving ma
chinery
Protection operates to give larger
market tothe Ameican producer, than to
the foreign producer. So does the pos
session of labor saving machine give
a larger market to the man who has it
than to his rival because he can under
sell his rival by cheaper production.
Protection causes temporary and in
dental disadvantages to flew. SO does
Dor saving machinery.
In spite of these charges against labor
wing machinery it is generally agreed
the intelligent that labor saving ma
linery is so good a thing that these
fguments are not to be thought of for
moment, except as governing humane
Employers of labor, in its gradual INTRO
Iction. But why is its value so univer-
lily conceded ? Because the greatest
lmber of those interested, the consum-
S. present and future, get the greatest
pod out of the cheapening of produc-
pm which the enlarged market brings
tn it by action and reaction.
Exactly the same truth holds good of
objection. The case in favor of labor
wing machinery would not be i'm
ired but strengthened if it's introduce
pm gave employment to people instead
throwing them out of employment;
i'd the benefits of it would, in one sense,
much more widely distributed if
tents were granted, not to individuals,
bit simply to the American public as
,ainst all foreigners. Yet that is ex-
Wy the case with protection and the
larged market which it gives to the
oducers who are its benefciaries.
If the argument for labor saving ma
inery is good the argument for protec-
pm is better. The benefit to labor is
mediate, and the benefit to the con-
mer is fastened by free domestic COM
titiOn.

A LIVING CURIOSITY.

There was in it rage, disappointment,

The rich mans hopes fell, and there
was choking sensation in his throat,
but with an effort he recovered himself.
May L ask you one more question,

voice.

RESOURCES OF VERMONT.

The Board of Agriculture proposes to
issue pamphlet the present season
which will be largely devoted to adver-
tising Vermont property.
1t is expected that about 10000 copies
will be published and circulated. Farms,
mills, water powers, quarries and sum-
mer resorts will be given place in the
work, and especially cheap farms, or
farms adapted for summer homes, and
mills, etc., that need building up and
added capital, that are now for sale at a
low price. High priced farms and enter
priseS that are now doing a profitable
business are not within the scope of our
work.
Persons owning property of the classes
mentioned, which they wish to dispose
of, are requested to send description to
the Board previous to April 10Th. Those
desiring to advertise farms will, on ap-
plication, be furnished with blank for
making description. All advertisements
must contain price of property and
terms of payment. A charge of two
cents per word will be made on all ad-
vertisements and this must accompany
the description. No advertisement sha all
contain over 200 words, and none will be
inserted for less than ST. This charge
is necessary in order to supplement the
limited fund at the disposal of the
Board, to carry out the plan. 1t covers
about one-third of the actual expense
A limited number of short descriptive
articles of localities possessing peculiar
advantages for any industry, will be in
serted.
The Board will reserve the right to re-
ject any matter furnished and if rejected
will return fee. The Board will not I'M
dertake to conduct sales and no commits
sion or fee will be charged except for in
sorting advertisement.
Persons desiring to make use of this
opportunity will please attend to it at
once as this notice will not appear
again.

THE OLD MANS COUP.

The two souls with but single
thought and hearts that beat as one had
been in executive session in the front
parlor since 8 o'clock and it was now
fast verging on the witching hour OF II.
Possibly it was the fiction of magma
ton, but it seemed to Harold as if
large body stirred uneasily in the room
above them. Harold was not an athletic
young man, and he listened in great con-
sternation for confirmation of his
fears. 1t came. The large body fell
over a chair and swore.
"Letitia," called voice which Harold
instinctively associated with the move
ments and the profanity overhead.
Eyes, papa"
The brave girl strove not to betray IN
her voice the fact, patent to the most
casual observer, that she was almost
scared TO death

HE CALLED DOWN THE YANKEE.

Some years ago an English engineer,
now prominent in the official manage
ment of one of our great railroads, was
experimenting the construction of new
road in Pennsylvania. After supper one
evening he stroled into the ''settin'
room" of the country tavern, where
some twenty men were seated around
the stove, smoking and chatting. A
regular Down East Yankee was expOund-
ing the remarkable strength of the arch
its use and application in mechanics, and
illustrating his remarks by paving a half
bushel measure.
"You amt no idee," said he, chow
strong the arch is if we set it right-if We
know how. Now there's the egg
nothin's got prettier arch than the
egg, and if you set it right it's mighty
strong. Why, kin set an egg on this
floor in SIGH shape that We can't break it
with this half bushel measure"
A general murmur of sneenng disbelief
ran around the room; but the Yankee
was game.
II said l kin, and l kin, and I'll bet
the drinks for the crowd on it,"
The engineer hated Yankee, and
though a reserved man, he could not per-
NIT Yankee to bluff whole party with
such an arrogant and preposterous state
ment, so he quietly said.
II will take that bet"
An egg was brougt in from the kitchen
and handed to the Yankee. He took it
and stood it upon the floor in the corner
of the roam where the measure couldn't
reach it.
Tie engineer did not even attempt to
fill a square corner with round meas
ure, but paid for the drinks and retired,
sadder and wiser. -CdSsier'S Magazine.

Before the passage of the Mckinley

in the United States, none of which
were very busily employed or turning

To-day there are II factories, all of which
are running on full time and are croweb
with orders. This is what is what Pro-
lection has done for the pearl button in
