His Legal Authority.

His Legal Authority
In the early days Of interior Missouri the
late Judge E. cut cordwood, cleared up
his homestead farm and was employed
upon one side nearly every case that came
Jap. being for some years the only lawyer in
the county.
He had no books except an old leather
covered Bible and an old volume or two Of
history similarly bound. but had read law
q short time in Kentucky in his youth. He
was very small and insignificant in appear
ance, but became before his death splen-
Ibid lawyer and an honored judge
| A young attorney from the east settled
in the little country town, with his library
of about half dozen new and handsomely
bound lawbooks, and on his first appear
ance in a case he brought most of his IL
brary to the Justices officein fine, beauti-
fully lowered carpet bag, popular in that
day. E. was engaged against him and
as usual had not a book.
When his adversary carefully drew his
books from his pretty carpet bag and laid
them on thetable, E looked astonished
but quickly recovered his ready resources
and asked the Justice to excuse him for Q
few moments He hurried to his home
stead, half mile or so away, and put hii
old leather bound Bible and histories into
a grain sack and brought them to court
initiating his opponent in laying them be
fose him on the table.
4 The evidence was introduced, and the
eastern man, being for the plaintiff, mad,
his opening argument and read at length
from his textbooks. EH- made his char
acteristic speech in reply, closing by read
ing law from his old Bible just the revers'
of that read by his opponent and took hi
lseat, putting his Bible on the table.
His adversary reached over and picked i
up, and seeing what it was eagerly nd
dressed the justice
Your homer" said he, this man is
humbug and pettifogger. Why, sir, thi
is the Bible from which he has pretended
to read law"
! The old justice looked indignant, and in
terrupting the young attorney said:
set down, durn ye. What better law cal
we git than the Biblet" He then decides

This term might well be styled a
mlsnomer. There is no industry in
our country that does not share In the
advantages arising from the protective
system. One class OF industries can
not be prosperous without all others
being benefited by that prosperity,
and none can be injured without all
other branches sympathizlng and SUI
fering with it. When factories are
erected and enlarged the masons,
brlcklnyers, carpenters and plasterers
are benefited, and the same may
be said in regard to the houses need
ed to accommodate the many thou
sands of operatives In the factories.
machine shops. founderles and other
Kindred establishments.
The machinists, farmers and day Ia
borers also come in for THAR share OF
the benefits, and such an assertion al
unprotected Industries. we say again,
may well be styled misnomer. Thu
country may be compared to a vel
that Is fed by THOUSAND
streams, which will perish through
the drying up of one OF them. ShoulC
the manufacturers OF our country be
Impoverished and the operatives EN-
ployed by them be forced to subsist oil
starvation wages. as they do in Eu'
rope, the fallacy of the reference t
unprotected industries would be ful
ly illustrated.
Such thing as one industry hein
prosperous and another depressed
