Labor in the United States is waiting
for a chance to earn wages. That
chance was taken from it when the
German Wilson bill was passed and
the shelves of the merchants in this
country were stocked with the cheap
wage productions of the old world,
and the markets of the country also
lowered to meet the raw productions OF
the countries employing coolie and 9TH
er cheap labor. The Dingley bill pro-
poses to reverse this condition by shut
ting out the foreign goods produced by
low wages from unrighteous COMPETE
ton with American high priced labor.
OF the beneficial results there are no
doubts, except in the minds of the I'M
American free traders. Protection to
raw and manufactured products is the
only American salvation.

Japan is turning her nose up at the
United States in the matter of Ha-
wall and making believe to a great de-
sire to increase her trade with the
United States. Inasmuch as Japan
sells us in round numbers s22,0O0.0 900 Of
goods every year, of which so per cent.
is admitted free and buys Of US only A.
100000. She may want to increase her
trade. Not content with this Japan
wants to sell us more goods and buy
less. There is nothing, to be lost by
this country growing in the Hawaiian
islands much of the production that
she now buys from Japan, and the
Japs are not unmindful of the this fact
Uncle Sam will have to run his own
farms and counting houses.

The changes were formerly run on
the words high tariff and low tariff,
but the present catchword is neither
but tariff that protects, whether it be
high or low. The question now is pure
ly and simply one Of protection. What
ever does that is acceptable. so long
as it rases the necessary revenue, and
even If it does not this country can
better afford to raise revenue by direct
taxation Of the people than to destroy
the labor Of the people in order to raise
revenue. Protection first, after that
revenue, this is the policy of the Re
publican party, and every time that 1t
has come into power prosperity has
followed.

HAM AND EGGS.
CHARMING MUSIC.


A man with an eye for the odd went
in, took seat and was waited upon by a
young woman.
"You have music here?" he asked.
From eight a. m. until II, and from
four p. m. to SIX" she said.
"Why not all day?"
"From about 1880 a. m. to one p. m. Is
the rush. We have to keep the custom
ers moving. If we had music then the
customers at the tables would linger
and we wouldn't do as much business"
"Your sign indicates that music is
furnished with ham and eggs only. If 1
should order bean soup would get amy
music with it?"
The young woman became confused,
but the customer assured her that he
was not trying to be funny.
"Does it make any difference how the
eggs are ordered?" he asked, "as to the
music that is furnished? / know that
when you speak of ham and eggs you
think of the eggs in that state which is
described as turned over or sunny side
up But in my own case should not
want them that way. Iwant my eggs
aard-boiled. In that case what would
the orchestra play?"
'1t amt an orchestra"
swell, what is the music which you
furnish-it makes no difference to ne.
| like even jew's-harp."
do you want ham with your hard
boiled eggs?" she asked. evading the
customers query.
THAT is what wish to know. Your
sign conveys the information that your
ham and eggs and music go together. II
there is anything in the meat line
abhor it is ham. If do not order the
ham suppose do not have the music
OF course, 1 could order the ham and not
eat it, but that would not be fair. You
certainly do not wish me 10 pay you fol-
anything 1 do not want"
'The music plays just the same, nc
matter what you eat" said the young
woman, having got asecond hold on hel
spunk. "You don't have to have ham il
YOU don't want it."
"But the sign says ham and eggs and
charming music"
swell, l just told you that you didn''
have to have ham if you don'twant it."
Then the sign does not mean what il
.says?"
"You can't get no music, nohow, thi'
time o. day." she said. mo difference
what you order. 'Tain't the time O. day
for music. If it's music you're looking
for you'll have to come in later
"Then you have deceived me. shall
have to so to the opera for my music ant
get my hard-boiled eggs elsewhere. d
you know that your place is obtaining
money under false pretenses%'
And this is why there was a sign I
is not there now. The proprietor re
moved it after he had heard of the funn,
mans idiotic remarks--N. Y. World

More and more of the secret history
of the late war is coming to view. but
it adds nothing to the fact so well
known, that the Confederat army had
spies in every northern city and in al
most every northern camp and that
the Confederates were kept well posted
concerning the Federal movements at
every stage of the game. This was
well known at the time, but what was
not known was who the spies were and
how their communications were kept
up.
