History Repeats Itself.
WRITTEN FOR THE JOURNAL,

Benton in his ''Thirty years
View says: 1.-The revision Of the
tariff with a view to the protection
of home industry and the establish
ment of what was then called The
American System was one of the
large subjects before Congress at
the session of 1928 r. He further
says: 1.-The protection of domestic
industry was admitted by all at
that time and ever since the first
tariff act of 1889 to be an incident
to the revenue raising power and
IN incident to be regarded in the
exercise of that power. He fur
ther says: ''The revision and the
augmentation of duties which itcon-
templated turned, not so much on
the emptiness of the treasury and
the necessity of raising money to
fill it, as upon the distress of the
country the necessity of creating
a home demand for labor, provis-
ions and materials by turning a
larger proportion of our national
industry into the channel of do
mestic manufactures" and MIR.
Clay expressly placed the proposed
augmentation on this ground
and in his main speech dwelt upon
the state of the country and gave
a picture of the public distress,
which Benton says, deserves to be
reproduced in his book both as the
leading argument for the new
tariff and as an exhibition
of a national distress which
those who were not cotemporary
with the state of things which he
described, would find it different to
conceive or realize"
Clay said: ''In casting our eyes
around us, the most prominent cir
cumstance which fixes our attention
and challenges our deepest regret,
is the general distress which per.
vades the whole country. 1t is
forced upon US by numerous facts
of the most incontestible character
1t is indicated by the diminished ex
ports Of native produce; by the
depressed and reduced state of oul
foreign navigation; by our dimin
ished commerce; by successive I'm
threshcd crops Of grain perishins
in our barns for want of market
by the alarming diminution of th'
circulating medium; by the numcr
Gus bankruptcies; by a universe
complaint Of the want of employ
ment and a consequent reduction O
the wages Of labor; by the raven
oas pursuit after public situations
not for the sake of their honor
and the performance Of their pub
lie duties, but as a means of pri
vate substance: by the reluctan
resort to the perilous use of pape
money; by the Intervention Of leg
islation in the delicate relrtions O
debtor and creditor; and above all
by the low and depressed state o
the value Of almost every dcscrip
ton of the the whole mass ::of til
property of the nation which ha
on an average sunk not less thai
about so per cent in a few years
This distress pervadcs every par

\ EAST PROVIDENCE.

The blaze was n beacon, else the alarm
from box lS al 3 o'clock Sunday morning
would have been misleading. There was
no doubt about where the fire was. There
was considerable delay in sounding the
alarm, owing to Misunderstanding
by the keeper OF the key To box a. Mr.
Riley thought 1t was trick by boys to
get the key, and he acted her uncivilly.
The house that was burned was owned by
DIR. Thurber, and guns aud cartridges
stored there went of in the fire, making Il
dangerous to approach the premises.
The property was destroyed. IL was
insured for $1,000. The cause of the fire is
unknown.

Animal Calls.

The fowl call, chick! chick chickl and
its variation, kipl kipl kip! are as old as
the call to the cow, being the Sanskrit
kuk, the name of the domesticated fowl
whence cock and Xix or chick, together
with kip, chip and chuck-words all clear
ly initiated from the note of the bird
which in Sanslrit was kak, 20 crow, or to
laugh, whence cackle. The country house
wife who says shoe To the trespasScr upon
her kitchen garden or flower pot uses al
most the same exclamation that the an
cient Greeks used to scare away the fowls
in their day, which may be derived from
the Sanskrit su, to hurl or TO drive.
No study of animal calls can leave out
the calls to the cat and the dog, TO which
the child, like his primitive ancestor, gives
names initiative of their notes.-the meow
and the bowwow. The word puss is sup
posed 20 be an imitation of the splitting or

cat, for which the Hindoo word is phis
Kit is but variation of cat, of which kit.
ten or kitty is the diminutivc, and seat is
probably hist and cat compounded and
shortened, or il may be the Sanskrit skat,
TO scatter.
The dog, perhaps because of his always
having been given individual names, and
because Of his almost human intelligence,
has no general call nor particular word Of
command Many different words are con-
tanned In the dog vocabulary, of which
among us the ejaculatory sick 'em is tho

alike who have English speaking masters,

rived the fire had communicated to the
tannery next door, As well as
to the dwellings in front.

flee in their night robes. Before the fire.
men could get at work the postal
station at Nos. 7S9 and 79i
was on fire, and big Dold Pack
ing House across the street was
endangered. The material used in the
tannery made it hot fire, and 1t was
only by the utmost efforts OF the
fremen that the flames were
kept away from the packing house.
Beyond the postal station were the coal
yards and here agaiu the firemen made a
fierce battle. Several horses were burned

A Lesson In Dog Training.

A way of training dog TO answer its
masters call has been adopted by Head
Keeper Manlcy Of the Geological gardens,
which, while it may not be entirely new,
Is certainly effective. He possessed a valu-
able dog whose only fault was that of in
dependence, and, whistle and call as much
as he might, the dog refused 60 take the
slightest notice One day Mr.. Manley
caught tho dog in his cellar and tied a
clothesline about its body just behind It's
forelegs. The limo was several yards long,
snd with tight hold on his end Manicy
took the dog out for walk. Every once
In awhile he would whistle and when the
dog failed TO respond he drew in the ropp
band over hand with the startled animal
turning succession of sonCrsaults in the
dirt. a few sach lessons were enough,
and the dog Is now model Of obedience
