had made dinner OF the keeper, or else
crushed him with his great paws. He
crept round to the upper part of the cell,
and there, looking through the railing,
he saw the lion and William sleeping
side by side as contentedly as two little
brothers.
He was so astonished that he uttered a
loud cry. The llor, awakened by the
noise, stared at the carpenter with an
eye of fury, and then placing his paw on
the breast of his keeper, as il to say,
"Touch him if you dare" the heroic
beast lay down to sleep again. The
carpenter was dreadfully alarmed, and,
not knowing he could rouse William, he
ran out and related what he had seen.
Some people came, and, opening the
door OF the cell, contrived to awaken
the keeper, who, rubbing his eyes,
quietly looked about him, and expressed
himself very well satisfied with his nap.
He took the lions paw, shook it kindly,
and then retired uninjured from the cell.

THE LION.

The lion is often called the "king of
beasts" His height varies from three to
four feet, and he is from six to nine
feet long. His coat is OF yellow sh
brown or tawny color, and about his neck
is great shaggy name which gives his
head majestic appearance.
The strength OF the lion is so great
that he can easily crush the skulls of sue n
animals as the horse or OK with one
blow Of his paw. No one who has not
seen the teeth of full-grown lion taken
out OF their sockets can have any idea of
their real size; one of them forms a good
handful, and might easily be mistaken
for small elephants tooth.
The home of the lion is in the forests
of Asia and Africa, where he is a terror to
man and beast. He generally lies con-
cealed during the day, but as darkness
comes on he prowls about where other
animals are accustomed to go for food or
drink, and springs upon them unawares,
with a roar that sounds like the rumble
of thunder.
The lion sometimes lives to great age

London, in the year 1850, at the age of
seventy years. II taken " hen young the
lion can be tanned, and will even show
marks of kindness to his keeper.
In a menagerie at Brussels, there was a
cell where large lion, called Dance,
used to be kept. The cell happened to be
in need of repair, and the keeper, whose
name was William, desired carpenter to
come and mend it. The carpenter came,
but was so afraid of the lion, that he
would not go near the cell alone.
So William entered the cell, and led the
lion to the upper part of it, while the
other part was retitting. He played
with the lion for some time; but, at last,
being wearied, both he and the lion feii

class to become farmers or producers or
farm products.
. The year 1892 shows a record of mar
Vicious activity in the direction of secur-
ing a larger division of labor by en-
ploying more in our mechanical indus
tries. Our shops were filling up, new
enterprises were started, labor was in
demand at good prices in mechanical IN
'dustrieS. reciprocity was enlarging and
extending our markets and we seemed
in every way to be realizing for the
American farmer and artisan the full
value of that law of political economy
and creating wealth by division of la
bOr."
In 1892 the policy of protection was re-
versed and thus the labOrers from the
shops and factories were forced from
sheer necessity to go out upon the lands
and become producers instead of cOnsum-
erS. 1t has been estimated that over a
million laborers have sine the election of
1892 when compelled to seek employ
ment in farming in order to obtain sub
sistence for themselves and families;
many Of these have converted parcels
of ground near and arOun their homes
into corn and potato patches. thereby
enormously decreasing the demand for
the products of the regular farm. 1t
is easy to understand when the full effect
Of this shifting of labor from the mechan-
ttdi I III 10 iifiN ~
what the effect must be upon prices
of farm products.
In view of these facts. all of which can
be verified in the past history of our
country. it is plain hat our farmers are
directly interested in the employment OF
labor and that their prosperity depends
largely upon whether that labor is en-
plOyed as competitors in the production
of farm products. or as consumers EN-
plOyed in the mechanical industries of
the country. We are certainly learning
from a severe practical experience the
truth and value of the economic principle
already referred to that 'the greatest
creator of wealth is the greatest possible
division of labor" We are also learning
hat this division of labor may be
brought about by a wise policy of protec-
ton.
The effect of production upon the
products of the farm can be summed up
in Il few words. First. will it increase
or diminish the humble engaged in pro-
ducing the products of the farm? Sec
Ond, will it increase or diminish the num-
Der of consumers of farm products:
When you have answered these two
plain propositions you will be master of
the entire argument of protection and
free trade. so far as the farmer is con-
cerned. You need be concerned in no
way about the free coinage of silver

would lave the effect, as Mr.. Bryan
admits. of producing a panic and CON

iustries. forcing more labor to the farm
and thereby add to the number already
producing farm products.
The employment of labor in our me-
chac:cal industries and not the free
coinage of silver is the thing that inter-
asts the farmer and is to secure FOR him

Appropriate Quotation from Lincoln.
Il cannot omit here to make n quota
ton from Mr.. Lincoln. written to the
young men of Illinois on June %, 1S4S.
Mr.. Lincoln said: Now as to the young
men. You must not wait to he brought
forward by the older men. You young
men get together. form IA trough and
ready club" and have regular meetings
and speeches. Take in everybody you
can get. AS you go along gather up all
the shrewd, wild boys about town.
whether just of age or a little under
age. Let everyone play the part he can
play best. Some speak, some sing and
all hOller. Great laughter.) Your
meetings will be of evenings. The old
err men and women will go to hear you
and see you. 1t will not only contribute
to the election of Old Zach. but it will
be interesting pastime and improving
to the intellectual faculties of all en-
gagged. Do not fail to do this Great
applause.)
Il commend these homely words OF
Mr.. Lincoln to the young men of the
country Such organizations as he adj
vises will nave powerful influence in the
political contest which is now upon us.
They will not only inspire the young
men, but will cheer the hearts of the
old guards of the Republican party.
tApplause.) 1t is seldom given to the
first voters of this country to start Ill so
important a national contest. where so
much is involved. and where so many In
terests are at stake. 1t is a year, too,
when old party divisions count TOR lit
tie; when men of all parties are united
in the common object to save the coun-
try from dishonor and its currency
from degradation.
1T is always safe. young gentlemen,
to arrange yourself on the side of your
country. (Applause.) 1t is always wise
to stand against lawlessness and repudi-
