that our puzzled contemporaries may be
able to see the point plainly.
The Record first remarks that under the
Dinglcy law the cotton schedule is entire
IS satisfactory to the manufacturers OF
cooton goods. IL IS not pretended that
any new adjustment OF duties would help
TO start the mills running at Fan River
at New Bedford. or at any other New
England town. And the Record then con-
cludes.
The workingmen OF the United States,
who are taught 10 believe that tariffs are
almost solely arranged for the purpose or
maintaining the rate OF wages at higher
level in this country than in other coun-
tries. will find the present situation OK
the cotton industry a most Instructive
study. Notwithstanding the cotton tarin
has been arranged 10 suit ana salsfy tho
cotton makers. Notwithstanding they
have the advantage OF access 10 the
cheapest and best untaxed raw material;
Notwithstanding the ACKNOWLEDGED enec-
.ireness and superiority OF their skilled
labor, and Notwithstanding the undisput-
cd possession OF the home market, they
are obliged 10 ask for reduction Of 10
per cent. in the wages paid TO their opera
tives. or what avail IS the tariff 20 tho
workingman n while it makes dear to
him the things with which he must feed
and shelter and clothe himself IL cannot
assure 10 him countervailinS advantage
IN the sale Of his labor?
Surely that il quite plain. Surely the
workingmen must understand from this
that high tariff does not guarantee
high wages as he has been time and again
assured by the protectionists. Surely all
esteemed contemporaries will see the
point that the Record makes.

QUEER PENSION LETTERS.

A good many queer letters are received

are tucked away in the files which con-
tain papers relating to !, 900, 600 cases.

worked hard to get a pension became

Is the letter she wrote the commissioner

Speaking of Fish Stories.

Sin our part of the states" said the
far wester, 1--WE have a salmon river
which is fed from some boiling springs.
AS the fish work up the river they en-
counter the warmer water, but SO grad
ually that they become acclimatized, as
it were, and feel no Inconvenience from
the increasing heat-so much SO, in fact,
that when we go fishing in the highest
reaches we catch them ready boiledV'
"You don't say Well, now, chimed
in the Canadian, 'fthat reminds me that
in III part of the world we have a salm-
on river which has its rise in some
tin mines. AS the fish work up they
meet the suspended ore in such gradual
ly increasing quantities that they get
quite used to it, and by the time they
get within a few miles of the head OF
the river we catch the salmon ready

and ship it. Hanging Done Here.

From the Populous East.

Thos. Westgard and wife arrived last
Monday from the east, to make "the
greatest silver Camp on earth" their fu-
ture home. Their wedding July II, at
Wesley, Me-, has previously been an
nounded in this paper. On their west
ward trip they stopped briefly in Bos-
ton, New York and Chicago, and tried
the dead swell grub at the toniest eating
shops. Mrs. Westgard, nee Miss Blake,
is a lovely lady of refined tastes and
pleasant manner. She seems pleased
with her residence IN the sequestered
mountain city and says such life has al
ways been her ideal. They went at
once to their home on East Main to be-
gin the joys of housekeeping, and the
husband is already preparing to write a
book on the aforesaid joys.
The numerous friends of Mr.. West
gard have all week been paying their
respects and meeting the bride. The
Big Seven boys, with whom Tom was a
great favorite, have presented the couple
with a handsome parlor suit, and many
other tokens of esteem have been tend
cred them.
Tuesday evening the Neihart band
marched to the residence and discoursed

was intended to illustrate in a most
practical way that all connubial bliss is
not unalloyed-that little squalls may
occasionally interrupt the placid mar.

cordially, Notwithstanding the lesson its
music taught, and all members met the
couple and extended their heartfelt con.
