THE ARKANSAS HOG.

II Can Oufrun q Greyhound and

An esteemed contemporary gave
from a subscriber on The American
Hog"
{ ARKANSAS has greater variety of
hogs and less pork and lard than any

In Arkansas weighs about fourteen
pounds dressed with its head on and
about six pounds and a half with its
head off. It can outrun greyhound,
fump a rail fence, climb like parrot

Not Yet.

The Dingley tariff has been in effect
for ten years. In that time our in
FAINT industries have had all the pro-
lection they need, in many cases too
much protection for the good Of the
people.-Chicago Journal
Is that so? And how about the
Journals subscription and advertising
patronage? Both have been the bene-
fciaries of the era of prosperity that
exists in this country on account of the
Dingley tariff. Does the Journal think
it has got to point where it can get
along without prosperity? Has 1t u no
ton that American industries can go
on paying the highest waASs ever
known and employing full quotas OF
worknen In competition with the cheap
labor of Europe: II 1t does, 1t is la
boring under a delusion. The removal
of the protective principles Of the tar
if would instantly expose the indus
tries of this country to the inroads of
foreign goods made at starvation wages
and no matter how strong and pros
porous an institution is, IL cannot long
withstand such corroding influence
on its business. Wages would have to
be lowered, quality of articles cheap
ened and money withdrawn from in,
vestment in Improbable concerns. Any
one with common sense can figure out
the ultimate result of such a condition.
With all due respect TO the Journal for
a most excellent but misguided. news
paper. the intelligent people OF the
country do not propose TO do away with
the protective tariff and let down the
bars to panic and business stagnation.

With the rights of the lives Of our fellows

The newborn are stihed for lack OF Gods
Where the feeble unfortunate, ground bs

When the cousin from the Middle

Every year for long time the Fourth
of July has been celebrated by GAINESVILLE
(wis.) citizens in unique manner. In
place of the old time games, with speeches
and fireworks in the evening, burlesque
circus is given, known as the Circus of
the Nonesuch Bros. Everything is a
"takeof" on regular circus parade, and
clubraen, golfers, society leaders, bust
ness men, laborers and mechanics unite
for the one day in making the circus a
success. A fund known as the Nonesuch
Bros circus fund is raised and turned
over to a committee to expend. Bands
from all over the State are hired, and
the press committee bills the circus as
is done with the genuine article.

THE FOURTH OF JULY.
Stop and Consider What Inde

pendence Means To-day.
The signing of the Declaration of indie
pendence was a deed TO commemorate,
without doubt.
But is it not well to stop and consider
just what independence means to-day?
Every boy who helps to make the
Fourth of July hideous with noise can
tell you that he is celebrating the birth
of liberty.
But is he not also accenting the growth
Of license? Why should he awaken his
neighbors at 3 in the morning with
sounds of the Inferno because he dwells
in a free country?
If he's free TO celebrate, why should
not his neighbors be free to sleep until
a reasonable hour in the morning?
1t was this forgetfulness of the rights
of others which made King George of
England a tyrant from whose persecu-
tions America declared its Independence
on the original Fourth of July.
We talk much of our glorious liberty
in America. but we are rapidly develop
ing tendency toward a tyranny as great
as that which once compelled us to rebel
against a king.
ask himself on the birthday Of American
liberty just what he is doing to make
liberty a universal possession.
American independence is becoming a
good deal like American business enter
prises--N thing of trusts and monopolies.
Before<you decorate your house with
flags and send off your fireworks upon
this Fourth of July. like good American
citizens, you would better make a little
mental analysis of your motives, habits
and methods of life, and find out just
what you are daily contributing toward
the freedom of all Americans
Are you doing everything you can in
your social. business and political orbit
to give wider liberty, leisure and pros
perity 20 humanity at large?
Are you thinking how to lessen the
hours of labor for the hordes of people
who toll twelve and fourteen hours out of
the twenty-four in this glorious land of
liberty? Or are you planning ways TO
get more work out of them, and TO in
crease your own fortune and leisure?
Are you helping II teach the law of
brotherhood. or are you widening the
breach between the employer and en-
ploye by your arrogance and selfshness?
You have no right to celebrate the
birth of American independence or to
talk of the beauties of freedom until
you are ready TO aid by thought, word
and deed all mankind to the benefits of
liberty.-Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
