the next season that will be 81 hens; and
as each will raise 90 more chicks, that

CHAPTER VII.

a number of the stable attendants
who had witnessed the alteration ran
to the spot and assisted the officer to
rise. His nose was bleeding profusely
from the blow. and il obedience to his
command Z guard was summoned and
Brown was marched away to the guard
house.
Seated on bunk il gloomy cell his
anger cooled cad he awolle to a real
ling sense of what he had done In
civil life he would have been cpolacded
for so promptly resenting an irten-
tional insult, but in the army it was
different. Violence offered by n pri-
vate soldier to an officer is 4 most
serious o1fense, and one which under
army rules demands severe punish
ment. While it is true that the officers
conduct toward him was highly repre-
hcnsible and such as would lay him
liable to official investigation, that
fact did not in the least mitigate his
offense. Had he quietly submitted to
Wanderers abuse he would have been
justified in seeking redress in the

Hoped unceremoniously' away. leaving
him biting his lips in confusion.
He rode to the stable and. dismount-
ing, threw the rein to an attendant
and started to his quarters in a far
from pleasant frame Of mind. AS he
hastily turned corner of the stables
he ran into Private Brown, who was
fastening thithor on some GRAND. The
shock threw the lieutenant to the
ground. and instantly recognizing in
the soldier the man in whose company
he had often seen Alice Sanford, his
rage was great. Springing to his feet
he hoarsely shouted:
What do YOU mean, sir? How dare
you run against me IN that manner"
Brown respectfully saluted him and
replied:
Il beg your pardon, sir. You turned
the corner in such haste that you ran
into me before could get out Of your
way"
You lie. sir, when you say I ran
into you. 1t was your damnable care
lessness that caused the collision. !
am not sure that you did not purpose
ly run against me-
Browns blood boiled at the epithct
applied to him, and the expression OF
anger on his face increased the officers
rage.
Lieutenant, your words are harsh
ones even for superior to use toward
an inferior in rank. I am not a liar,
sir, and my manhood revolts when
such term is applied to me when am
powerless to resent it."
Don't you dare talk back to me, you
scoundrel. How dare you hint at re-
sentiment to your superior officer, you
mental cur?"
Human endurance coulo stand no
more. Browns face paled with right
eous rage. and, losing all control of his
temper. he sent a well-directed blow
into the lieutenant face, knocking him
from his feet.

LESSONS FOR M'kINLEYiTES.
An Illustration OF the Folly of tho Pro,
lection Poficy::

These are times when those of the
Mckinley tariff school should be in
high feather. Their congratulations
should be cabled to France and the
ties of amity between the two nations
should be declared stronger than ever.
The fraternal hand should also be ex-
tended to Germany, and the little ma
jor who Is the high priest of protection
here should at least be given the hom-
age of patron saint there. The doc
trines which have been preached to our
farmers, our stockraisers, and all the
other producers in this country of I'M
limited resources, are being practically
applied by our sister governments OF
the eastern continent. They are erect
ing barriers against our commerce just
as we erected barriers against theirs
during the greater part of century,
and the republican party must applaud,
or, by opposition, make the acknOwl-
edgment of it's own political heresies
France is now saying to her millions
of people that they must be content
with poorer quality of beef and pay
more for it, in order to protect the
stock-growers of their own country,
dustry. All must suffer that few may
prosper. There is no advance in wages,
no compensation of any kind for the
additional burden thus imposed. The
masses are forced by the strong arm of
the law to pay tribute to the few. 1t
is intimated that there is to follow
this blow to American trade and to the
vast ma jority of the French people an
other equally telling upon both. There
is a movement to exclude American
wheat and to still further restrict
market in which it has fallen to the
value of hog feed. The policy of Ger
many is along the same lines of high
protection and calls for the plaudits of
the Mckinleyites.
In the light of such procedure the
scales should fall from the eyes of those
who have held to the delusion that
nation like this can tax itself into the
highest attainable state of prosperity.
No greater folly is conceive BILE than that
the country which should be the gran
airy of the world: which. in the extent
and the wealth of its resources is with
out rival, which has the genius, the
Intelligence and the enterprise that en-
title it to supremacy, should set the
example of barring the commerce of
the outside world in which it should
find market for it's own surplusage.
The greatest producer for years closed
its doors against those who came to
trade with it; and now that its oppor-
tunities for foreign sales are being sys-
tematically curtailed those responsible
for our own error must approve protec-
ton abroad or renounce their own
faith Germany and France afford OBJ
iect lessons in high protection that the
disciples of Mckinley would do well to

Receipts Are Larger Than Under the Nc

Receipts Are Larger Than Under the NC
K1nley Measure-To Stop Gold Exports.
Figures concerning the operation of
the new tariff law during the first
six months of its operation are now
availa BILE. They justify those friends
of the new law who have stood firm in
its defense amid all the storm of criti-
cism aimed against it. it is well I'M
derstood by everyone that a great
diminution of receipts from internal
revenue sources was inevita BILE after
the enactment of the new law. This
could not have been averted. for manu-
facturers always anticipated any addi-
ton to the tax on spirits and other in
ternal revenue articles, and loss of re-
ceipts are sure to follow. This loss is
temporary, however. and in this case
the receipts will soon be up to and in
excess of the old mark. In the most
important customs feature of the
operation of the new law, the figures
give great satisfaction to the friends
of the measure. The new law went
into effect August %, 1894. and by com
pairing the receipts of September. Oc-
tober. November and December, 1894.
and January and February of this
year with the corresponding six months
of the preceding years it is easy to de-
termine whether the new law has
given an increase or decrease of Gus
toms receipts. The following figures
show the customs receipts for the six
months in question, month by month,
under the new law, and during the
corresponding months of the proceed
ing wear under the Mckinley law:
z Y

Feb. 1850 69l Feb, ls94--.-. lo,:S,528
Total. So. $50 45sI Total ss4 7ss.541
1t will be seen that the customs re-
ceipts during the last half year, under
the new law, were greater in every
month than the old. and in the aggre-
gate were nearly 25 per cent greater
than those of the corresponding months
of the previous year under the Nc
kinley law. The figures showing the ex-
act quantity OF dutiablc and free inn
portations for the half year have not
been com Dleted, but those obtainab bic
at this time indicate that the dutiable
importations for the first half year
under the law will be from S35 900, 900
to 0,O0O, 900 greater in value than
those under the corresponding months
of the last year under the Mckinley
law. while there is also an increase in
importations of non-dutiable articles.
Thus it is apparent that the new law
is increasing free importations, in
creasing dutiable importations, in
creaslng customs receipts, and will in
crease the internal revenue receipts
when operations under it assume nor
NAL condition.-Chicago Herald.
