Madame De Boushaw is no clariavoi

Busy American Nursery Stock.

Dutch nursery stock is being imported
at New York and is finding its way in
TO many a suburban garden to the injury
Of the American nurseryman. What for
c.gn insect pests and fungoid diseases
are being scattered about New York,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey we don t
know. But we do know that the buyers
of this free trade stuff ought to be
ashamed of themselves, especially those
who pretend to be protectionists and
shout and squeal directly any attempt is
made to remove protection from their
own interests. These shoddy protection
lists are the kind who buy British shoddy
clothing and wonder why there is less
demand for their own goods when they
are patronizing foreign labor.

Reed on Wages.

The truth is that this very question
of rising wages is what makes good
many men free traders. People with
fixed incomes think that anything
which rises wages is inimical to them.
Manufacturers who have foreign mar
kets are naturally anxious to have wages
OH the foreign standard, and when q
great cocoa manufacturer in Boston and
q great agricultural toolmaker in Phil
adelphia proclaim themselves on the
side of free trade, we find in both cases
large foreign trade and along with it a
desire for foreign wages for their work
inpmen. Hon. Thomas B. Reed.

Senator Thurston's Argument.

We feel that it is no longer necessary
to make an argument for protection in
the United States. That argument is
being made by the silent water wheel,
by the still spindles, by the smokeless
chimneys; that story is i'll every Amer

mind, and now the American people

they are burning to act, and they are
going to act at the st. Louis convention
and at the polls in next November. -

Protection, Reciprocity and Prosperity

political sentiment is unstable, but
principles are eternal. If our party was
right in holding to its principles when in
power, it must be right in contending for
such principles when out of power. In the
defeat OF the republican party our national
prosperity has been defeated also, but let
us remember that the boys in blue met de
feat at Bull Run, but their cup of glory was
filed at Appomattox. Our defeat will be
but temporary, and in four years from now
the party which has just won so signal a
victory will find its Appomattox, and the
republican banner will again be thrown to
the breeze and upon its fold will still be
found these words, Protection, Reciprocity,
Prosperity. '"-lntervew with William Nc

SALTFlElDS HURT.
New York State Industry Demoralized by
Democracy.

Democracy.
The western New York saltfield, en-
braced in the counties of Genessee, Llv-
ingston and Wyoming, extends over ten
townships, with an aggregate population
of 90, 1913. The amount of wages dis
tributed in the salt industry i'll those
ten townships in 1891 was in round
numbers $3.50, 600; the freights paid on
salt, coal, cooperage, ETC., $1,000. 900;
the amount paid for cooperage, box
shocks, bagging, etc., was 5000, 900; a
total distribution of money to the
amount of So, 400, 900 in % single year.
That was under the Mckinley tariff,
with protection to salt.
In 1895, under the German tariff,
with salt on the free list, the distribu-
ton of money in this same section
through the salt industry was as fol-
lows: Wages, $165, 900; freights, ETC.,
$500, 900; cooperage, bagging, etc.,
1915, 900, total of $3.50, 600, or a re-
duction of about 6S per cent traceable
directly to free trade. The immediate
localities suffered to the extent of 1885,
900 year-a distribution of wages de-
creased by about $17 per capita for the
entire population in the region affected,
Of whom less than 10 per cent were en-
gagged directly in the salt industry. The
number Of persons engaged in the in
dustry fell off from 1900, earning
$458.33 a year, to 500. earning $3.50
each.
In addition to this loss to labor in the
locality and its resultant effect on local
trade and every industry and pursuit
there carried on, there is the item of
$500, 900 loss to the railroads in freights
paid. nearly all Of which is labor
item. Then there is the loss of $485,
900 in the amount of cooperage and
bagging used, the major part of which
was a loss to labor affecting the lumber
men in Michigan, the cotton operatives
in the east and sewing girls in New
York city, where the bulk Of the bagging
has been made up.
The manufacturers Of cotton in the
New England states, and the lumber
men of the north and west, are as much
affected by the placing of salt on the
free list as are the saltmakers in the
western New York saltfield--and the
great railroad corporations are affected
as much as both'put together.

 President Cleveland and Speaker Reed are now good friends. Until a few months ago they were at swords points. They used to hate each other with a cordial hatred, President Cleveland cursed Speaker Reed for his course with reference to the bond bill in the last congress, and year ago, when the pres- ident, by special message, asked con gress to sit through the holidays to con slider financial legislation, Speaker Reed cursed him as all old triekster. But last spring the two big men were brought together. They had a joke or two and then tacitly dropped their old animosity and became fast friends.

Ill their condemnaJ10n or the innovation as an invention of the evil one.
 At length the stove party triumphed in so far that they were permitted to place stove and pipe in the church on trial, and one Saturday afternoon i'll November tho stove was put in place. It was set we'll into the room, very near to the tenor gallery. The members of the stove committee were early at church on the following day to see how the much hated, new fangled production was received.
 As the congregation came i'll the an- tistoveites noticeably turned their steps as far away as possible, and one of their number, elderly Mrs. Peck, as soon as she reached her pew, fiirted open large fan and began using it vigorously, de- claring that the heart of the stove made her faint. At length she created consid- erable commotion ill the church by throwing up her hands and apparently swooning. She recovered Then Deacon Thomas Trowbridge came in. He was very venerable and one of the simplest and most worthy of men, who had been induced not to oppose the introduction of the stove. He walked up past the of lending article ill question, shaking his head doubtingly as he reached out his hand and felt the heat from it, and he gathered up tho skirts of his greatcoat tremblingly as he took his seat at the head of the broad aisle. Next entered "Uncle" Noah Stowe, wealthy farmer of the west end, who was rank anti stoveite, and seowled at the detested stove which he had been bitterly de- nouncing for weeks Hezekiah Marsh, another farmer and also an antistove man, advanced nearly half way into the room before he saw the stove, and then he turned on his heel and walked out, the maddest man in Litchfeld.
 All this seemed to strike the stove committee as ridiculous, and when they saw Editor Bunce of the village news 1 paper come i'll and, walking up to the stove, warm his hands over 1t i'll thor oughly satisfied manner, rubbing them in evident enjoyment. they came near bringing down a reproof upon them selves ill consequence of their unseemly levity.
 But the climax came when Mrs. Peck,
 who had been apparently overcome by the heat from the sinful stove, was forced to go out in the middle of the service, wiping her face with her hand kerchief and unable to bear up longer under her suffering. Then it was that the stove committee fell over backward out of sight ill the bass gallery, where they had been sitting, in paroxysms of
 laughter.
 As matter of fact. no fire had been placed in the stove for the day, the
 weather being too warm to warrant 1t.
 It was the knowledge of this and the
 actions of the members of the congrega-
 tion who were so oppressed by the heat that convulsed tho committee. The bit
 terness engendered by the purchase of
 the stove was a long time ill passing out of the church.

 stove to historical society. New York Sun.
