LIE NALhALLA SChOOL.
The total improvements reported fol
the Walhalla school amount in round
numbers to $1,000. This, of course
would place the Walhalla school in posi-
ton to receive the first honor flag. II
was decided, however, that this school
would not enter the contest, as the con.
ditions were all in her favor and left nc
room for q contest. She gracefully stood
aside and left the contest to the schools
of less populous communities. This being
noted in the report to The Youths Com.
panion, and that worthy paper com
mended the spirit shown and awarded
the Walhalla school special honor flag
which will be presented at the meeting
on December 9. Suitable exercises are
being arranged for and it is expected
that the State Superintendent of Educa-
ton and other prominent men will be
present. 1t is earnestly hoped that all
trustees, teachers and others interested
will make every effort to be present or
this occasion.

Habits of the RObiu

Let us hide behind that clump of
blackberry bushes and watch the
parent birds as they come to feed
their young. There comes the
father robin now; you can distin-
guish him from the mother by his
darker plumage. You will notice
that in coming with the food he
alights on a particular twig, hops
along a particular branch and alights
on a particular side of the nest If
you watched him for week you
would probably see him approach
the nest in precisely the same way
each time. Now, here comes the
mother-a lighter-colored bird. with
gray on the back of her head. You
see that she reaches the nest by
quite a different route and afights
upon the other side of it, and She
will do this over and over again.
Like men and women. birds acquire
habits which they rigidly adhere to
unless something happens TO prevent
them. - Ernest Harold Baynes in
Woman's Home Companion.

and other products which are export
ed from the United States in large
quantities and never imported. If the
farmers could form huge trust and
limit production they could force up
the prices of agricultural products and
get wealthy at the expense of all ether
classes. The tariff would then be q
protection from outside interference
and would make it easier to control
the market. ust as the tariff on meat
and animals helped the meat trust to
hold up the consumers of meat. The
farmers have never been able TO form
successful trust, SO the tariff as yet
has not helped them any i'll forcing
up the prices of food products.
There is another result of the tariff
however that affects the farmer di-
rectly. as well as the laborers. The
protection granted to manufacturers
enables them to charge from p to
100 per cent more at home than abroad
for the same commodities. When the
American farmer goes to market he
is treated like prince. He is privi-
legged to pay the United States steel
trust $50 Wholesale a keg for wire
nails. which are knocked down to the
despised aud impoverished foreigner
for $l.30. In the same way he pays
$3.75 (retaiD for a coil of barbed wire
which the foreigner buys for about
81 20 He pays twice the foreign price
for axle grease, twice as much for a
dashboard, 80 per cent. more for a
shovel, 10 per cent. more for sugar
and 90 per cent. more for glass fruit
Jars. When he buys sewing ma
chine for his wife he pays $50 for the
same kind of machine that is sold the
foreign purchaser for S17.
Who will dare assert that the Amer
lean farmer is not benefited by protec-
ton? He is allowed to pay great
deal more than English, German and
Russian farmers for exactly the same
goods. This raises him far above the
ignorant European peasants. If there
were no protective tariff. it would cost
the American farmer about one-half
as much to live as it now does. This
would be a great calamity. for. as
Barnum expressed il, nothing delights
the true American so much as TO be
| humbugged.

The protectionists never weary of

the benefit of the farmers and labor
