NO WONDER HE IS A PROTECTIONIST '•1 will toll you why I believe in pro taction.' said Mr. ,T. F. Jones, niimufncturor of Columbus Grove, I'ntnnm county, Ohio, to a representative of the 1 nu'ru'dtt Economist sotno days ago. '•I can remember well when in lS3f! the campaign cry of the Democrats was 'Free Trade and Sailors" Kights.' Well, Free Trade came. Onr family then lived on a farm in Miami county, in the southwestern part of the State. I earried eggs to market for 2 cents a dozen, butter for 3 cents a pound. Dressed pnrk brought only 2.V to 3 cents f, pound and dressed beef to 2J cents a pound. Corn sold for 10 to 121 conts and wheat for 371 to 50 cents a bushel. The wages of hired men were 37i- to G2 cents a day. Whisky was 121 cents a gallon. At the same time, my mother's Sunday dress of oiled calico print, made in Franco, cost SI a yard. The largest iron mant I y?ory known to us was the 11x20 log blacksmith shop at the crofis roads, where the blacksmith used charcoal burned by himself in the adjacent woods, and hammered out by hand all implements used by the farmers, such as axes, hoes, mattocks, log chains, ploughs, horse shoes and nails. The largest and only woolen factory within a great many miles was one whore the wool was carded into rolls, which \?pre spun and woven by our mothers and sisters in their own homes. No weaving was done in the factory. When I was a boy ten years old, I can remember well that my Sunday suit was woven by my mother. These are some of the reasons why I am a Protectionist and an American, every inch of the six feet two and a half that I stand in mv stocking feet."

Jnixirxo from the campaign of personal defamation inaugurated by the Indianapolis Sentinel against W. P. Herod, the Republican candidate for Mayor of that city, the Democrats are beer.tiling badly demoralized. The Sentinel can always bo depended its share of the dirtiest kind work. Notwithstanding its boasted high toned independenev the -Vcirs is not a whit behind the Sentinel.

Forced to Hc*lffn.

IlTDtANAPOt.18, I ml., Sept. 20.—Rev. Dr. .lenckes, rector of St. Paul's cathedral, has found that it i£ not the popular thing to preach about the end of the world. When he declared three weeks ago his conviction that the millenium would come within ten years and announced that he would give his reasons for this belief in a series of sermons many of the parishioners remonstrated with him. Finding him immovable a number of them informed him that they would not attend services at the church until he had stopped preaching about the end of the world. The threats and remonstrances have not causcd the doctor to waver or falter in expounding his new doctrines, but in consequence of the objections of his displeased parishioners he has tendered his resignation to the vestry of the church. It is understood that ho has already been offered charge of tho American Aid association as state superintendent, having jurisdiction in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. He was in Chicago last week conferring with the ofticers of the association. Both the doctor and the vestrymen of his church refuse to talk about the matter. Dr. Jenckes is a native of Indiana, but has engaged in church work in Ohio and at Louisville, Ky. Ue has been pastor of St l'aul's church eight years and in that time has lifted a debt of 820,000 and made the church one of the most prosperous in the city. He is popular with all classes and his removal would be generally regretted. It is hardly necessary- to state that his sermons have caused a profound sensation and have had a marked effect upon people, especially those who are religiously ini clined.

Tho Bankers' Case Begin*.

IxniAN*Arous.Ind.,Sept29.—Tbjease of the state against Hanker Decker, of Evansville, to compel him to. make return of names of depositors and their several credits April was argued before Judge Taylor, of the superior court. Monday, a number of the bankers of the state being present and the greatest interest being manifested. The defense contended that there was no cause of complaint against the bank and no appeal from the board of review to the state tax commission, and the latter has no authority except where appeal is made or complaint lodged. The prosecution claimed that deposits were concealed from taxation by the refusal of the bankers to. submit the names of depositors, and that the law contemplated fair and equal taxation, which could not be secured except by reporting the deposits. The bankers were the custodians" of the funds and could not shield themselves by claiming that th6 reporting of the deposits wou\A "be a violation of confideno9 reposed in them by their customers. No decision was reached.

THE DANBURY NEWSMAN

JAMES MONTGOMERY BAILEY AND y/HIS GENIAL PERSONALITY.

The Well Known Hnninrl.t n.i lie A|poars »t lioute—Ho\r Ho ('niut* to Writ© S A

Almost the first thing yon see after coming out of the Danbury railway station is a plain red brick building which stands up the street on the other side, with "The Danbnry 5fows" in gilt letters across its face. If yon should cross tho muddy street, as I did, with the rain beating down in torrents, yon would be doubly glad to feel tl» kindly smile of welcome which Mr. r.iiley bestows on all newcomers. They tell mo in Danbury that when a tramp conies to town

He took 'Tne into liis back office, put me in hi&.own chainaud then sat/down by the t-kle ot tlwj dtsk and began to talk. tVlrile we werv thus occiipicd a. fnend/ came I'iiu'and Monto turned on. hiirv with tlr. ,kindly shafts of his wit. replying him .ilxmt ewrytbdng that came into his beaiV 'lliis gentleman told mo afterward/thaty Mr.'Bailey is always the same. "I. never enjoyed myself so much irvi nnvlifo as 1 have with Monte Bailey,.'"roe /said, "ami I must say that, whilcrlif has written,some mighty funny chy.igs, 1 like libn better than his books,." And yet, wheal 1 asked him. whjytie Uidn't'write any more, his reply was- "lam played out. If any one asks 'ou,(t/sll them that." He continued: "If theue/ia anything which 1 disbelieve in. it is /oca humorist to allow the machine to i^nter into his work, and the moment th it hp feels it he had,'better stop."

I handed him one of, his books, which vas dying on his desk.uuid asked him if he wiuuld indicate those sketches which had /been the most popular. He stood thertD with tho book in his hand ai started on a train of reminiscences. Both of !JS forgot the object of my visit, and for more than an hour he ran on. 'You are too young," ho said, "to appt* jciate how we used to live in the old ,ys iu New England when 1 was a boy. S ow that sketch of tho boy carrying iu .-ood. Of course, 1 was that boy. I was the eldest of a family, and it seemed to me as if we were always moving. My stepfather had the kindest heart in tile world, but a terrible temper. I remember myself standing in the kitchen ono day while he was trying to move tho stove. Although 1 was but it child, it was so extremely funny to me to see the varying expressions on his face that every once in a while 1 was obliged to run out in the back yard and roll over, all doubled up with laughter."

Theso early impressions evidently clung to Mr. Bailey with great tenacity and gave a peculiar vividness to his sketches. One of his associates at tho time when ho was writing them said that when Monte was writing in his den ho could always tell when a happy thought struck him by a peculiar chuckle that came through the cracks of the door, and when he heard this ho would say to himself, "There, Monte's getting off a good thing." I asked Mr. Bailey ibout his experience as a lecturer. He laid down his book on tho desk and standing up with his hands in his pockets and swaying gently backward and forward, he replied: "That's where I made a big mistake: but, the fact is, 1 never thought I could Jo it. At ono time 1 was offered $25,000 for a course of lectures, but 1 never had much experience with an audience, and 1 was afraid that what 1 said would fall flat. Some time afterward Bret Harte gave a lecture here, anil I introduced him to the audience. I felt keenly tho solemnity of the occasion, and suppose 1 had some diffidence about it. and perhaps this very thing is what* caught them and then 1 felt rather abashed in the presence of such a great writer aa

Bret Harte. When I got through speaking Harte turned to me and whispered, 'D you, Bailey, you have taken all the wind out of my sails.'

In 1374 he visited England, Scotland, Ireland and France, and on his return lectured on "England from a Back Window." While ho was traveling in England ono day on the train his wifo wanted to buy a book to read. Tho boy handed him ono and he said, as he gave it to her, "Here, my dear, is a book that I think you will be much interested in." It was a copy cf "Life in Danbury."

This book, by the way, is the first Mr. Bailey published, and was compiled from tho sketches which appeared in The News. Tho principal events in Mr. Bailey's lifo aro as follows: He was born Sept. 25, 18-11, in Albany, his people afterward moving to Rome. N. Y., where ho receive, a common school education and learned the carpenter's trade. At eighteen he went to Danbnry, where ho worked at his trade for two years, and in 1802 enlisted in tho Seventeenth Connecticut volunteers, serving three years, until tho end of tho war. His first literary work was done on tho New York Mercury, iu I860.

Bailey's, face is one of those towhich a photograph cannot do justice., because in the photograph you miss thehumorous and, kindly cordiality that illuminates it. Then there is a peculiar twinkle of th-eye, accompanied by tin faintest suggestion of a movement of. the body, as if in imagination he poked, you in the ribs and had to hold himself in from doing( it in reality. This happens when 51r. Bailey says something which might be called!a Baileyism. Ir. is a genial kind of limner that ho haeand because it is_ unst-iuGied it is good and never flat.

spomleil with tho Danbury Times. In 1SG5 lie bought this paper, and in 1870 consolidated it with The JefFersonian. calling the now paper The News. It was in 1SGS-0 that his paragraphs were copied in other papers, hut it was not until 1S73 that the circulation of The News was affected. January of that year tilt' circulation was 1,920. On tho 1st of September following tho edition was over 80,000. In addition to "Life in Danbury" ho has published "Tho Danbury News Alan's Almanac" (1871), "England from a Back Window" (1S78), "They All Do It" (1S73). "Mr. Phillips' Goneness" (1879) and "Tho Danbury Boom" (1SS0). "Whenever saw anything that struck me as funny," continued Mr. Bailey, "1 would write it down just as it occurred to me. One of tho most widely quoted things I ever wrote was 'The" Wheelbarrow.' 1 waa looking out of ray office window one day when a man went by with a wheelbarrow. He slipped somehow and fell, and the way ho and that wheelbarrow got tangled up was ono of the funniest things 1 over saw. I laughed till I cried, and then I sat down and wrote the sketch." Ho called my attention also to the Italian peanut vender, who is still j.tying hiB trade across tho street from Tho News office, just as he was when Mr. Bailey wrote about him.
