Origin of our Protective Tariff.

On the third day of the first session
of the first Congress of the National
Constitution, James Madison of Vir-
ginia offered resolution reciting that
specific duties should be levied on all
importations of spirituOus liquors,
wines, teas, sugars, pepper, cocoa
and spices; and an ad valorem duty
on all other articles; and also a ton
mage duty on all American vessels in
which merchandise was imported,
and higher tonnage rate on all
foreign vessels. Accordingly the sec
ond act passed by this first Congress,
inspired by Madison, supported by
Hamilton, and approved by Wash
ington, was tariff act The pream-
BILE of this act declared that it was
necessary for the support of the
government, for the discharge of the
debt of the United States, and the
encouragement and protection of the
manufactures that duties be laid. !"
This act combined revenue with pro-
lection as every successful tariff act
must. 1t embodied every feature of
the protective doctrine 1t had a free
list, specific duties, and ad valorem
rates; some goods were taxed more
and some less, and it Disseminated
so as to encourage and protect our
own industries. Both inname and in
form it was a protective tariff.
We are often reminded that those
were the pure and patriotic days of
the republic when the founders of the
government were only intent on the
public good, and partisan greed of
office did not hinderlegIslation. tits
well, therefore, to remember that a
protective tariff originated with, and
was first applied by the fathers of the
Constitution, who may well be cred
tied with an understanding of it's
powers and purpose. Under the be-
nign influence of this protective tariff
our revenues were made ample to
meet the requirements of the treasury,
our manufacturing industries were
planted and fostered, our national
credit established, and our country
freed from the productive vassaIage
which had so persistently been en-
forced upon US as colonies, and from
which the Confederation was power
less to deliver us.-W. W. Curry.

Rule. for Young ArtI.t..

1t may aid our young artists 10 re-
member a few simple rules for pro-
portion while drawing the human
figure. Eight heads is the correct
height, according to the Greek
standards, for a full grown man or
woman. A line drawn from thigh
to thigh marks the exact half of the
figure. When the arms are fully ex-
tended the distance from tip to tip Of
the middle fingers ought TO be the
exact height of a well proportional
person. The knees should be exactly
half way between the thigh line and
the bottom of the heel.
Standing straight, the elbows
should just touch the hips; a hand
should be the length of chin level 10
the hair. A foot should be the
length of the head from the top 20
the chin level. The chest from one
armpit 10 the other should be one
fifth of the height Of the entire body.
and the distance from elbow 10
breast middle should be the same as
from elbow to finger tip. New York

blaine Tells a Story on his Health.

Mr.. Blaine told good story the
other day "to a prominent citizen
who, for certain reasons, does not
want his name mentioned" illustra-
tive of the sensational reports of his
sickness which are going about the
country, and which he declares are
and have been for years largely imagi-
nary.
q have told this story before, y
said Mr.. Blaine, "but not with the
present application. 1t is about a
man who was carrying something
across the Fulton street ferry in a
box. Every now and then he would
open the box curiOusly, peep in, and
then close it mysteriOusly. His action
excited the attention of a naturalist
who was seated near him, and who
finally touched him on the elbow and
said:
Il beg pardon, but | am curious to
know what you have gotinthat box.
What is it?'
"'Oh, l don't want to tell, replied
the man.
"'Well, let me look in said the
naturalist.
"'Tm afraid to, replied the stran-
ger; it might get all over the boat
''Is it a savage animal?'
"'Yes, kills everything Then the
man peeped i'll again. Growing more
curious the naturalist begged him
tell it's name.
"'It's a kil-ma-roo,' he said, from
Central Africa-a very savage beast;
eats men and everything
"'What do you feed it on inquired
the naturalist.
- Snakes, sir plain snakes.
"'But where do you get snakes
enough to feed such a ravenous mon
ster?' said the eager man of science.
"Well, sir, my brother in Brooklyn
has the deiirium tremens, and when
he sees snakes by the thousand we
just catch 'em and
"'Oh, that won't do interrupted
the naturalist; you can't feed Il
beast on imaginary snakes!
- Well, the fact is said the man,
opening the box and blowing in IL
don't give it away, but this is an
imaginary kil-ma-roo.'
"When the lid is taken off and the
box looked into" said Mr.. Blaine,
"the correspondent discovers that
my sickness is an imaginary kil-ma-
roo"

Tin Plates.

There are many difficulties to be
successfully COPIED with before they
g the Americans can manufacture
tin plates with commercial success in
competition with this country, even
with the help of the present import
duty, which is equal to a bounty of
from 20 to so per cent. on the price
OF the manufactured article in the
country of production. The question
of labor in the United States is the
most difficult to be dealt with sue
cessfully. In Wales the adult work
people have been engaged in the trade
from childhood, and their children,
as soon as capable, assist in the mills
1t is, indeed, not an uncommon Oc-
curance to find whole families work
ing together. The making of tin
plates as the children grow to men
and women becomes a habit, and
acquire great dexterity, saving much
time and labor, and the wages of the
female laborers and children are but
a 1.-THE of what American skilled
workmen would demand.
The American laborer will still be
faithful to the mother and children.
Womanhood in the United States
must not be degraded, neither can
American childhood be dwarfed to
satisfy the old slave owner Of this
country or the greed of Englishmen
in Europe.-Iron and Steel Trades

1t Pays to Keep Poultry.

Can poultry be kept with a profit
on the farms of New England? was a
question that was answered in the
affirmative by A. C. Hopkins of Lam
caster in a paper on poultry culture
at the farmers meeting in the John
| Hancock building the other day. He
said there was a great and growing
demand for eggs and chickens grow
ing on the farm, and they bring a
much higher price than those that
come from a distance and are of I'M
certain age. Methods to be observed
in the breeding and care of poultry
were described, and it was said that
the profits from intelligent cultiva-
ton are large, a good hen producing
on an average 50 per annum in eggs
and chickens. Stimulating foods
should be used sparingIy, and it is
well to change the kind of grain fed
frequently. Lots of exercise is nee
essarv to keep the fouls IN a healthy
condition. Plymouth rock is the
most profitable foul to raise. and
dark-colored eggs sell the best in the
Boston markets. Water should not
be given to young chickens until they
are three weeks old, the moisture
necessary being supplied in their food
when properly prepared. A hen
should not have the care of more
than twelve or fifteen chickens, as
that numberis all she can completely
cover on cold nights.
A rambling discussion followed,
which disclosed the fact that the per-
centage of chickens produced by an
incubator is about sixty-siX of the
eggs set. The brooder should be
kept at temperature of about 90,
and there should be thorough venti-
lation.-BOstOn Transcript.

How Jewish Meat is Killed.

One of the largest abattoirs in the
city, covering an ample block, owned
and operated by men of Jewish race
and faith, is remarkable for it's
smooth and effective working and
admirable distribution of parts. An
average of eight hundred cattle, be-
tween three and five years old, pass
through it in each of the business
days of the year. Arriving from
the West at the river-front, they as
cend one by one to the fateful en-
closure, where an adept employee
tastens a chain around the leg OF
each. Hoisted by machinery, the bo-
vine falls gently upon one shoulder,
and IN most instances without cry.

maddened by sight and smell ofblood

The Home Record of 1891.

The year just closed has been, per-
haps, the most prosperous in the his
tory of this country. So far from
being plunged into all the CONNER
cial and financial disasters which the
opponents of the Mckinley bill pre-
dicted all branches of business have
been in a fiourishing condition, and
everybody has had plenty to eat,
plenty to wear, and sufficient for 9th
er purposes. OF course much of this
prosperity was due to the very album
dant harvests which were gathered,
and for the surplus of which there was
an active demand from Europe. Both
our exports and our imports were
greatly increased, and there was a
greater demand for labor in cOnse-
quence of the increased demand for
products of mills, which demand was
in turn due to increased tariff on the
s.-Independent.

The Pernicious Dating Ahead

One of the disadvantages of dating
a publication in advance of The time
OF issuing it has been brought to the
front in England.
A weekly Illustrated newspaper. in
an article on Cardinal Manning.
commended to his notice a phila0-
thropic object which he might help.
though on the date which the paper
bore the Cardinals body was living
in state at his home, where he had
died two days before. Another paper
dated two days after the death of
the Duke Of Clarence had no mention
of his death, but devoted several ar
tlcles to the subject Of his expected
marriage. Punch on one occasion
made fippant allusion to an emf
nent statesman who figured in it's
pages often, and who had died three
days previous to the date borne bv
the paper. Whatever advantaDes
there may be in this practice if
would seem that the results in the
above instances were rather stupid.

TROUBLE WITH THE CHINEsE.-Tba
Chinese minister at Washington has
complained to the secretary of state
of the treatment of Chinese residents
at Butte, Montana. The complaint
is to the effect that various citizens
OF Butte have been obstructino in
their lawful business and outrageous
ly treating the Chinese subjects resi-
dent in that place. For some time a
boycott has been in force at Butte
against all persons who employ the
Chinese. The Chinese stores have
been watched by Americans, and so
tar as possible people prevented from
trading at them. On the other hand
laboring men of Butte claim that the
situation is alarming from the fact
that they are deprived of the oppor-
tunity to earn a living on account of
the large numbers of Chinese, and q
petition is to be presented to Con-
gress asking for the enactment of
laws restricting immigration and ex-
Guiding the Chinese.
