FaIlacy ofHfgh Protection.

A prominent citizen of Birmirg-
ham, Ala, who at one time was a
practical iron worker, shows the
fallacy of high protection theory in
the following statement of his ex.
perience, says he: al was once an
iron worker and under high tariff
l was paid SO per day. Later on,
under the same tariff law, L was
paid s. per day; still later So per
day, and under the high water mark
of "protection to American indus
tries" for the same work L was paid
$3.50 per day. 1t is true that dur
ing this period iron and steel goods
were greatly reduced in price, Mr.,
Carnegie, the great ironmaster, in
creased his wealth during this
period from 100000 to sl2,OOO,OOO
and 1 am still a young man. I"
This gentleman further declares his
belief to be that should the Demo
cratic party continue to manage
this government and the sea gates
be opened and the tariff laws be
hold down to "revenue only" basis
the workingman ofthis country will
be greatly benefited and the whole
country blossom a as rose.

The Grammar school.

OF the different entertainments given
in connection with the school during
the past week, by no means the least
was that given by the grammar room at
the Opera House last night. Space will
not permit us to give detailed report
of the exercises, and it is with regret
that we say this, for surely the efforts
of these young people deserve special
mention. OF course, the most interest
ing part of the program was the pretty
operetta "Bonnybell." In this every one
carried out his part well, and the audi
ence watched closely the varying for
tunes of the pretty heroine.
Much credit should be given to the
teacher, Mr. Herbert More, and to the
pianist, Mrs. Ida Hudson, for the sue.
cessful manner in which the entertain.
ment was carried out.
The decorations were artistic and
the music excellent.
During the exercises the class pre-.
sentcd their teacher two volumes OF

tinue I'm their school work and i'm four
years go forth, finished.
