The Farmers Barley.

Why do we advocate protection for
the American farmer? Simply that he
may continue to raise and market his
products at a living rate. If he could
live on what the Russian peasant does
no meat from one weeks end to
another, on the poorest and cheapest
quantity Of food; If he could clothe
himself and his family in the same
cheap way; II he could forget his duty
to educate his children; if he could
shirk, without disgrace, his share in
the expenses for a healthy, social life.
for neighborhood libraries and other
improvements, for the church of his
choice; If he could consent to live in
the kind of a cabin or howell in which
the same Russian wears out his exist
ence; then we might &c in for a system
that would bring him into direct COM
petition with Russia. 1t does not mat.
ter whether it Is called free trade or
Wilson bill or German bill, crowded
the result puts him on a level with the
present conditions Of Europe. The
new law, for example, reduces the TAR
if on barley 1892 per cent. The effect
will be either to kill off barley raising
or to put our farmers in such a COM
petition with the barley Of Russia that
their profit will be gone.-Farm. Field
and Fireside.

Its astOnishin'," remarked an old
Yankee forty-niner, as he nodded over
his glass to Il friend, what a coward a
man is at home-a reS'lar crawlin',

bit, and held up my head in most o. the
camps on the coast since 40. I've got
three bullets inside o me. I've shot and

that's goin'. But at home I'm Il kyote.
Afore I'd let the old woman know that

I'm likewise sweatin' fur fear the old
woman has been woke up by the upset.
1t didn't use to be So" sighed the poor
fellow, thoughtfully rubbing his shin
ing scalp. when we first hitched, I
thought I was superintendent; but, af-
ter a year or two of argyin' the pint,
l settled down to shown the car at low
wages. l kin lick any man O. my age

ing the saloon table with his wrinkled
fist. "I1l shoot, stand up, Or rough-and.

Nevertheless. the banker rose from his
bed of pine tufts the next morning in ex-
cellent condition. The wonderful purity
and healing properties of the air had al
ready begun to steady his nerves, and he
attacked the cold chicken which Kate
Caneff had provided with an appetite
that would have astoaished his chums of
the New York Club.
Burt was delighted with the vigor and
appetite Of his patron, and made the for
est ring with one of his hunting songs.
which he poured forth in an uncultivated
but magniAccntly full and round voice.
They reached Coy's Lake late in the
afternoon. and Burt ut once set to work
to repair the bower house and pitch the
fly tent. Norris looked after the traps.
collected the pine tips for the bedding and
gathered some dry wood for their first
campfire. After things had begun to
look quite shipshape, Tyler turned to the
banker and cried out pleasantly, "Good
enough, Mr.. Norris; we shall now be able
to pass a comfortable night. You must
be a little tagged out: so throw your blan-
ket down for a half hours nap, while l
step down to the lake for a couple of
trout"
II NlulA NuS luUS u q ~
what overtaxed his strength, and gladly
awaited himself of this opportunity to
"catch forty winks,' as he termed it.
Burt caught up his fishing tackle and
strobe off toward the lake, promising to
be back in a short half hour.
Norris had scarcely fallen into n doze
when a noise like the cracking of a dry
twig under a mans tread aroused him and
hn ol1nl n-t sI, <I,% ,o, Il,,v< ~
Receiving no answer, he sprang light
" to his feet, drew his pistol and passed
cautiously out of the bower house.
Neither man nor beast was visible.
The sun had set and the woods were al
ready wrapped in deep twilight. Norris
took half a dozen steps along the path
leading to the lake with the intention of
hailing Tyler.
Suddenly the sound of a step again fell
upon his ear, coming from the direction
of the bower house. AS he turned he
caught sight of a mans head and arm
house, which completely hid the mans
figure. Ere Norris could realize the stu.
alton the hand seized Burt's pistol belt,
which he had left hanging there, and drew
the revolver from it. In the next instant
tHc HuuA Steppeu Doluly out from DeLlnu
the bower house, and, as he raised the
pistol, growled out:
You or me. Mr.. Norris!"
Jack Caneff, you ~villain!."
The two pistols exploded almost Mt the
same instant. Caneff WINGED a little, but
nothing more. Norris raised himself on
his toes; his jaw fell; he gasped, groaned,
pitched heavily forward a step or two,
then went to the ground like a log.

So we start tomorrow for the woods, do
we, at the first streak Of daylight? Is
everything in readiness, Burty"
Eyes. SIR said Burt, Everything. and
il you don't get too tired we shall make
Coy's Lake the day after Tomorrow,
where / can promise you three-pound
trout pretty enough to patch 4 rainbow
with"
"Ah.' came from the banker as his
eyes frightened and a smile spread over
his palc face, II like that sort of talk,
Burt; it gives me new life, wakes my
sluggish blood up and sends a Jingle to
the very tips Of my fingers. How I do
long to feel that three-pounder on the end
of my line"
The banker had risen from his chair in
his excitement, and was now pacing the
floor with his hands thrus. into his pockets
and his head bent as if in deep thought.
Suddenly he halted in front of Tyler's
chair and broke out:
why Burt, I'm ashamed of myself. 1
forgot all about it, old fellow"
"What is it. Mr.. Norris"' inquired the
guide. with a somewhat puzzled air.
"Why l intended to see little Ann be-
fore we started" was the bankers reply.

The daily customs collections Of the
government are now about twice as large
as the internal revenue receipts, or S14,-
100000 of customs and S7,OOO,OW in
ternal revenue for twenty-four days Of
this month.-The Journal of Commerce
and Commercial Bulletin.
This is Il directly opposite condition
to that which existed last summer when
the internal revenue receipts, during
ninety days, We're more than S61 1000
600. with customs receipts amounting
to only $29,OOO.OOO. Since the new tar
if went into effect, however, as the
above authority states. 1.-THE custom re-
ceipts have been more than $50, 100000,
as compared with $35,OOO,OOO of inter-
nal revenue. OF course these very
large custom receipts mean very large
imports Of foreign goods, and the $14.-
100000 received through the custom
house during twenty-four days of Junu-
airy is due to the large Withdrawals and,
imports of WOODEN goods, every pound,
of which checks the output of the,
American wooden mills and the en-
plOyment of labor therein, besides be-
ing a direct loss to the sheep farmer
through the lesser demand for Amcri-
can wool. all of which objects the free.
traders had in view when they voted
for the German tariff bill.

CATCH AS CATCH CAN.
DEMOCRATS WOULD SCORE A
POINT WITH AN OLD TRICK.
Now Call Upon PrOtectiOnists to Ont
line Some Specific Measure That Will
Be Passed in Place of the German
Bi1l-What Free Trade Did.
A Shrewd Game.

1t is a very shrewd game that the
free-traders have been playing since
the November elections in calling upon
prOtectionist members to outline some
specific bill that will be passed In place
of the German bill. 1t is a sort of
'heads l win tails you lose game.
Whatever the answer on the part OF
protectionists, the free-traders hope 10
score a point.
If protectionist leaders should We
beguiled into suggesting possible de-
tails. the free-traders would at once
seize upon these suggested possibili-
ties as a pledge of party action. If. rs
would undoubtedly be the case. protec-
ZIONIST leaders should disagree in re-
gard to some Of the details. the free
traders would cry out that the party
was disunited and the leaders at odds
with one another. If, on the other
hand, the protectionists should refuse
to enter into details, the fr%ee-traders
would be ready with a plausible inter
probation of such refusal.
For such Interpretation there has
been abundant opportunity. Protec-
ZIONIST leaders have in almost every
a S refused to enter upon Il question
of details. They have deemed it quite
sufficient to state that, whatever the
details of a new bill that should he
passed, it should be Il bill which should
have for its fundamental principle the
protection Of American industries.
p1f tho frxAn- .,x1Ory I'm v,r ,>VNfnScC1
to see, in this refusal of protectionists
to give details. Il confession on their
part that they have nothing better than
the German bill to offer. Absurd lis
such a claim is, since there would be
difficulty in passing Il worse bill, it is
we'll, nevertheless, for protectionists
to permit not the slightest chance Tor
doubt in regard to their position. If
the recent elections meant anything.
they meant denunciation Of the Cor
man bill and disgust with the whole
free trade administration.
1t is well. then. for protectionists 10
make it very clear that they will have
something better than the German bill
to offer, and that they intend to enact Il
bill which shall protect American in
dustries Al o % as they possibly can.
Let them, too. not cease to emphasize
the fact that the present disaster and
depression are due to the baneful CT
fects Of tariff reform, and that they
have no intention Of letting the coun-
try rest In the midst of such evils. but
that they mean to place it again in the
midst of such prosperity as it enjoyed
under the Mckinley tariff. Let them.
above all, beware of all overtures and
all proposals coming from the free
trade enemy's camp.

The American HOG.

While very general attention has
been drawn to the losses Of those Amer.
lean farmers who raised wool under
protection, and who have been COM
PEELED to sell their sheep under free
trade, which has lowered the price o.
wool to such an extent as to make it
unremunerative to the farmers to con-
tinuc producing 1t, the condition of the
hog market seems to have escaped at.
tentiOn. Let us look at it.
The Chicago stock yards report quot
ed the price of hogs on Jan. 10, 1895, at
$4.D per hundred pounds. Two years
earlier, on Jan. 10, 1893, hogs of the
same grade were quoted at $7.91 per
hundred pounds. The 1893 quotation
was q little less than two months be-
fore the present administration as
sumed control of our affairs. The 1895
price was almost two years after they
