 It is supposed that we have no men nowadays who could compete on even terms with the old archers. A man named Uri Bailey recently died in Pennsylvania who was worthy of q place with the old-time soldiers, His skill in throwing stones was said to be marvellous. Ho was mentally def cieat, but a giant physically. His aim with stones at any ..-ark or game was unerring as Snnt of the most skillful handler of the rifle Hs annually bag ged scores of small game, )heasants, rabbits, quails and squirrels, which he killed with stones He could kill a bird on the wing or a rabbit at full speed almost es easily as he could kill it at rest He had a large leather pouch attached to one side of his coat, in which he on all occasions carried a good supply of carefully selected stones An exhibition of his skill which was al- ways Q favorite with him was to set up a scythe blade, edge toward him, and at the distance of 100 feet cut apples in halves by throwing them against the edge of the blade. He could almost exactly halye two out of every three ap- pies he threw. Robin Hoods great feat of skill was to set up peeled sap ling at a considerable distance and split it with an arrow. We do not see that thls is moro difficult than splitting the apple on the scvthe blade.

In their efforts to return that distin-
guished corporation attorney and "polit-
ical" greaser, John g. Spooner, to the
United States senate, the Republicans of
Wisconsin are apparently determined to
Mexicanize that hitherto peaceful and
orderly commonwealth. Ever since
Spooner's involuntary retirement to pri-
vate life, little more than year ago,
the earth has been, in the opinion of the
average Wisconsin Republican, out of
its orbit. The wind has blown steadily

The Infant Industry and the workingman.


The benefits of protection are some
thing like the sea serpent-they are al
ways somewhere else. The average pro-
tectionist believes that the tariff raises
wages. If you ask him how it raises his
wages he will reply that it does so in an
indirect way by improving the condition
of some other person. Now there is a
widely accepted principle to the effect
that the tail cannot wag the dog. II
the persons whose wages are directly
affected by the tariff very greatly out
number those who have nothing to do
with tariff taxes, except to pay them,
they may set the standard for the whole
community; but If the direct protected
classes form an insignificant minority of
the total population it is clearly impos-
sible for them to fix the rate of wages
for the majority. It is Of the first i'm
portance, therefore, to know how many
people are engaged in producing the
things that are supposed to be protected
by the tariff as compared to the number
of people whom the tariff does not and
cannot affect except to their injury

A CONVINCING ARGUMENT.
The Tariff Lesson at Homestead Mus

The Tariff Lesson at Homestead Must
Open the Eyes of WOrkingmen.
The Homestead affair is the most pow
erful and convincing argument that can
he made to disprove the assertion that
there is no relation whatever between
tariffs and wages. The Homestead ar
gument is so plain that he who runs can
read and readily discover that the tariff
tax enables the manufacturer to receive
higher price for his product, ostensi-
bly, for the purpose of paying high
wages to employees. Having had the
price of his articles increased by legis-
lation, does the manufacturer sit down
to figure out his excess of profits by
reason of this special legislation, and
then divide it with his workmen? No,
of course not. The manufacturer goes
into the market and employs his labor
at the Lowest possible price. That price
is fixed by the law of supply and de-
mand and labor unions, without any re-
gard to the tariff, and every employer
of labor in this country does the same
thing because it is good business man
agement. When men offer to work for
two dollars per day, what manufacturer
pays them three dollars because he is
receiving special benefits? The spectacle
of mass meeting of workingmen, such
as was held at the east front of the cap
itol, passing unanimously set Of reso-
lutions calling attention to the fact that
in the face of an increasing tariff tax
the wages of employees have been re
duced 80 per cent, shows plainly that
many workingmen are opening their
eyes and ready to condemn what they
heretofore accepted as blessing.-Co-
