ALL DUE TO PROTECTION.
Prosperity in the Past Has Had But
One Source.

In an address at Marshfield, Mass,
August %, Congressman Mccall said:
We are pretty near the edge of a
financial setback. Economically an in
dustrial crisis at this time would be
senseless and wanton, but we should
already have had one if our prosperity
had not been well nigh invulnerable.' -
What was it that in the past ten
years has made our prosperity well
nigh invulnerable?
Production at the maximum and
consumption keeping pace with pro-
duction.
Abundance of employment at the
highest wages ever known.
Liberal buying by wage earners at
prices remunerative to both manufac-
turer and merchant.
A money market kept steady by IA
vorable trade balances averaging
close to half a billion dollars a year.
These were the prime factors of our
rock-rooted prosperity
What has shaken the foundations of
that prosperity?
An insane rage for the disturbance
Of sound economic laws and ideal Geo.
nomic conditions, coupled with i'll
judged Nominations against "preda-
tory wealth" and no word of reproach
for predatory political wreckers Of
business stability.
Foolish and probably unlawful
trade agreements" designed to take
work and wages away from American
labor and hand them over to foreign
ers.

Ancient PLAYING Cards.

The ancient Tarot packs were the
earliest playing cards known to our
forefathers. They consisted of seven
ty-two, seyenty-seven or seventy-eight

Switzerland and are made in Florence,
the designs being handed down from
generation to generation.
