DOWN WITH BOBBERY LITERAL TRANSLATION of the term “PROTECTION." Ita Whole rlgnHli’*nCe 1* Cta** LeaI*l«tion Cuntredivtory Claim* Made b,lt. W..r.lii|«T» Plain Concerning W ugv* and the Tariff. Protection la Vn-Amvrlcaa, In a lalM»r.-l attempt tu convince an B<b<M«ie of Government bountie* on farm product* that the protection fraud benefit* the farmer, the New York Pre»» opixMH* the bounty system on the ground that It would be paternalism. Such a i».li<y. It declare*. -would aimply be taxing American citizen* to en- I able American farmer* to undersell | English farmer* In England." This I* | quite true, yet the Press does not oeem to net that it* logic condemn* the taxatlou <»f American citizen* in order to enable American manufacturers to ■ chn rg*» higher pri<i*M to AtwriCßß coo- i eunu ra That thia l» the objvct ami eff>-et of a protective tariff Ik an estabHalted fact. The declaration* of «uch eminent Republican* a* McKinley and Harrison against cheapness prove* tliat protectionists want to have goods dear. And the rang* of prices under various tariff* shows that Increased protection always results In higher prices. If taxing the whole people to l>enefit the fanner* would be |>aternalisin. the | Pros* would probably call the policy of i taxing everyl>ody to benefit a small I etas* of manufacturers patriotism. That paper ha* for years supported a aystem by which the farmer* were roblx-d through high taxation and high prices due to tariff monopoly. I Now that the farmers have discovered i the swindle which was steadily lmi*iv•risking them, and are demanding a t aha re of Government favor*, the protection organs shout -paternalism.” I ami say the demand is preposterous. i It 1* true that the proposition to take | money from one set of citizen* to give | ft to another ela«* Is paternalism, and that for that reason Democrats oppose ; the bounty system, on the same ground they condemn protection, which is the , assumption by the Government of the right to regulate production by compel- I ling the whole people to pay more for the goods of certain manufacturers. If 1 that is not paternalism of the rankest j kind, there I* no meaning in words. The Press knows well that the spirit ' •f free American Institutions is op-poto-d to paternalistic schemes. Hence, its deaire to show that bounties on ' farm products would be paternalism. I But in so doing it furnishes the best of i reason* for rejecting the unjust med- I dling system of protection which it daily advocates. Some Protection tie tie fit*. Believing that in the discussion of such important issues as the tariff tpies- < Gon both sides should be given a hearing. the following brief arguments in ' favor of protection are published: 1. Protection shuts out foreign goods and thereby prevents coini>etition and benefits manufacturers by raising the , price of their good*. 2. A high tariff stimulates competition j and thus cut* down prices of manufactured goods. 3. Under protection the burden of taxation fall* on the foreigner who sells , his products in our markets. 4. The tariff tax being always added i to tiie price which consumers must pay ' forimjs.rted goods, the domestic manu- I facturer is enabled to pay his employes higher wages if he wishes to do so. 5. As a protective tariff does not interfere with the free importation of labor, manufacturers can guard against excessive wages by employing foreign workingmen. C. The protective duties levied on raw materials serve as a check on the too rapid growth of domestic Industries. 7. Such raw materials as hides, which are largely produced by the American farmer, should be exempted from protective taxes and allowed to come in free. K Protection encourages manufacturers by cutting down the prices of food* and increasing the wages of their employes 9. A high tariff benefits workingmen by increasing the cost of all kinds of goods they buy, and liy attracting to this country the unemployed labor of the rest of the world. 10. The protective doctrine. If adopted by ail the commercial nations of the worhl, would enable each country to produce its own goods, and thus do away with all international commerce. 11. By its stimulation of home industry a high tariff will enable the American manufacturer to sell his products in all the market* of the world. For these reasons and numerous others equally logical, protection should be favored by all who are incapable of atudylog the question for themselves. Did Not Condemn the Administration. For the past six months the small-fry Republican organs have been shrieking against the iniquity of the bond sales b;< which this country was prevented from going onto the silver standard, and plunging again Into panic and business depression. In the bitterness of their assaults on the Integrity of the administration the Pennsylvania papers were esi>ecla)ly prominent, surpassing even the Western Populist;-; in their diatribes against "the men who Issueil bonds in a time of peace." When the Republican state Convention of Pennsylvania met at Harrisburg it was expected that the alleged public Indignation against the Democratic policy of maintaining the gold reserve would find vent in resolutions condemning the bond issues. But while the usual McKinley protest was made against the Wilson tariff, and the Democrats blamed for all the evil results of protection, the convention said not a word about the stile of bonds.

The natural Inference I* that the Republican leader* who controlled tit* convention realize that the action of the . administration I* not unpopular, el* ' they would have sought to gain vote*, by declaring against It. When Repub ' Ih-an convention* do not find it wise to disapprove of Deiu«*'rn e action in, avoiding a disastrous panic. It I* *nf* I to assume that there Is nothing to apol- j oglre for in connection with the recent issue of bond*. Down, Calamity Howler. Increase In wage* Is one of the moat I reliable sign* of a reviving businea*. I and judging from that *tand|*dnt there i .-an l>e little doubt that we have reached the dawn of prosperity. Since the latter i>art of March. accordIng to the New York Time*. 230 employ-I er* of labor, whether as individuals or | ■ forming firm* or corporations- have in- j . creased the wages of their employes I ami these employes reach the very reI Hpactable total of 128.D"*. To sulwtatitlate its assertion or rathI er to afford an opportunity to all to, ! prove its accuracy, the Times publishes i ’ a list of the individuals, firms and com- j panics which have increased wages,, ami a great variety of industries these represent Among those benefited by these increases in w ages we note those who work in silk. woolen, cotton, linen. ’ paper, flannel and knit goods mills;, those engaged In coke, iron and steel industries; employes in tube mills and | boiler works rolling mill*, foundries, j , tanneries, puddlers. coat-makers, gar- ‘ 1 ment workers and those following the j oil well business in Pennsylvania. Km-: ployes in the cotton mills of Fall River, I j Mas*., to the number of 25,000. have re-i telved an Increase of 12% per cent.; I 25.<«** cotten textile workers In New I Bedford have got an increase of 5 per i cent; 15.000 men in the Western Penn-, ; sylvania coke district are benefited 15 ; I per cent; 5.000 employes in the Nation- ■ al Tube Works and Rolling Mills at McKeesport Pa., lit per cent.; 2.2t)0 employe* of the Riverside Iron Company, Wheeling, W. Va.. 10 per cent; 5.000 ■ , garment workers in Philadelphia: and ■ I during last week 10.000 workers in the I vicinity of Pittsburg received an ad-1 | vance In wages. This is only a partial i list, but it lays low the calamity bowler Still Trying to Deceive. With rhe undeniable facts of business I prosperity and higher wages under the i Wilson tariff making Democratic votes | dally, the despairing New York Tribune I resorts to the device of deliberate false- ' Ikmhl* about the condition of trade. I Ixroking tearfully through blue ruin i glasses at the country's industries, that jtaper whines that perhaps things are I not so very prosperous after aiL and as i proof of the sad state of affairs it re- : fer* to "the great strikes in woolen i and carjs-t mills which have failed." The Tribune does not give the names of the woolen and carpet mills where i great strikes have failed. And for the very good reason that there were no j 'itch mills. Since the Wilson bill went ' in force there is not one single instance of a strike in any important woolen or carpet mill which has failed to win substantial concession from employers. Many of the leading woolen mills voluntarily advanced wages from 5 to 25 I*-r cent., a noticeable instance being , the woolen and worsted factories of i Rhode Island, which increased the wages of all their employes 7’a per I rent on Aug. 1. In some parts of the I country there have been strikes, but they | have practically ail lavn successful. I i The great strike in the carpet industry of Philadelphia, where B.<*oo operatives | demanded higher wages, was won by the strikers, the last of the mills signing the increased wage scale last week. These facts were, of course, well known to the Tribune, but it would not have suited Its partisan objects to have told the truth. But if that paper had any fair-minded readers they must be ashametl of it* w ilful refusal to publish the truth when it hurts the Republicans. Every Housewife Knows the Truth. There 1* not a housewife in the land who has not felt by experience the advantages of the Wilson law in the reduced cost of 25 per cent on woolen goods alone, and the Republican Congress that attempts to restore the McKinley duties of 33 per cent on rawwool and 97 per cent on woolen fabrics will only evoke ridicule and disgust. The Wilson law removed the tax one-half on woolen goods and altogether on raw wool. The compensatory bal- ! ance in favor of the wool growers has been so remarkable in better prices and i demand as to make even the flockmas- | ters advocates of the new tariff. Re- I iluced prices to purchasers who use I about $800,000,000 worth of woolen goods a year, an average of sl2 per capita for the whole country, cannot be restored to the McKinley figures, I and the party that advocates it simply flirts with dissolution.—Philadelphia Times. Yet McKinley's Star Ha* Set. Recent reports from Fall River, Mass., show that 30 corporations, operating tH mill* ami representing an aggregate of $21,000,0000f capital, have paid out $532,875 In dividends for the last quarter, this being an average of more than 2% per cent. Also It is stated that these dividends do not represent the phenomenal prosperity of those and other mills at the present time. “Nearly every corporation In town I* so far freed from debt that Its paper has an Al rating in financial circles,” and a new record Is b Ing mail" In the erection of cotton mills while several Important additions are made or In process of being made to mills already in operation.

AN INSECT DUEL. Fitht to Deoth Botw»on • W«*p ond • Spldor. “I saw * wonderful exhibition of the i bravery of io*ecW while I w*' ® H ,l *y cation thi* Mimtucr," »aid the professor, after the toffee had l* «n brought ou and tiie cigar* had liecn lighted. "1 »peut my , holiday campingout," be continue I, I the ►ight to which 1 refer wa» a tight to | the death Itetween a wasp and a «pider. | "Sam afu-r my tint was pitched I awoke one morning and heard a buxxlug sound in the peak of my <»nv*« bouse, i D*»king up while alill lying on my tm- ; 1 provised bed, 1 saw a wasp building bia ! mud house on the tent pole. Several time* be went out and returned a few I minute* later with hi* load of clay, which ■ very soon formed another net lion of bls abode. “The next morning at ju*t about *unI rise. 1 beard the buwlng again, but It seemed to have increased in volume. Glancing up again 1 »<*>n saw the reason, j A big spider liad spun a web conqfietely , across the corner of the tent, abultiqg the ’ baif-flnished home of the wasp sotkat I it could not l*e reached except by pawing through the weK The spider was an uglv-looking black fellow, and he stood on guard watching tl>e movement* <»f the 1 wa p. The latter flew backward and forward looking for an opening to bi* i domicile. Then be remained still in the ' i air for a tecond or two, aa if taking a ■ general view of the situation. Finally lie , alighted on the tent pole within an inch or so of tl*e edge of tiie web. and seemed i to be making up bi* mind what to do ' next. "By thi* time 1 bad become interested ■ and wondered what bia plan of action i would be. While 1 was still contemplating the two foes, the wasp flew off the ; pole and directly toward tiie spider. I which had been keenly watching him. ; and wa» evidently ready for the fray, if i there was to be one. As the w a<p flew ! [asst bis enemy he curled the un ler part j of bis body up so that the part containing i the stinger would come in close proximity to tiie spider. "The latter was evidently accustomed to such warfare, however, because he got ; out of the way in a twinkling. Maddened ; at his defeat, the wasp took a turn and , i went back again. Once more the spider i eluded bi* venomous stinger, but at the ; same time be appeared to be trying to bite the wasp. The spider might have retreated so far away from his web fort that bis enemy could not have touched him uutU the obstruction was broken down, but be evidently did not intend to have his carefully constructed flytrap destroyed without a struggle. "There were several skirmishes of the kind already described, and then the j wasp again alighted on the tent pole,' as I though reconnoitering and getting breath • for a grand onslaught That this was exactly what he was doing was proved by what followed. After remaining on the pole for a few seconds, he flew off and poised himself in the air a foot or so below the web. Then be darted directly for the spiiler and went completely through the web at the exact spot which ■ had been occupied by the spider a second before. "For an instant both combatanU were ) lost to view and I beard the battle raging in the peak ot the tent Before 1 bad scarcely bad a chance to wonder which was getting the better of it, both insects drop;**! to the ground close to me. Tiie spider was bolding fast to the wasp’s bead ■ with bis small but effective mouth, and i the wasp was running his stinger in and out of tiie spider's body with lightninglike rapidity. There was a short struggle on the ground, when both insects began to grow weak, and their movements were | less rapid. Finally they fell apart, but , neither moved. 1 examined them both after watching them for a few seconds. I The poison of each had done the work for tiie other, and both were dead." Raising Prize Cats. A new word and a new- industry have been created by a clever young Chicago ■ girl. Miss Nellie Wheatley. It is the I breeding of prize Angora cats. These beautiful animals are extremely rare the ' world over, and for many years have commanded from >SO to *2 0 apiece according to their beauty and the other mysterious points with which only cat fanciers are familiar. Miss Wheatley, w ith characteristic Chicago thrift, started Angora cat raising. It was very difficult to tret tiie start. She found Angora cats here and there, but they were few in number and were ■ always household pets, which their owner* would not dispose of under any circumstances. From these she turned to , animal dealers and animal brokers, and < finally managed to get a pair of prize An- I I goras after more tiian six months waiting, 1 • for the low price of $l5O for Hie pair. ' ! This was her start several years ago. I The business prospered from tiie first, and I from the time that her industry became I | known she has been behind her orders. A few ot her stock in trade are domestic favorites which are permitted the run of the house. Tiie rest, however, are kept on tiie top tloer of tiie house, where every arrangement has been made for their comfort and ease, including cat baths, where they are washed; cat plates, from which t they are fed; cat combs and eat brushes, witii which their coats are treated everyday: a cat gymnasium, where they can disport themselves; cat medicine when they- are ill. and cat beds where they rest at night. 1 bia part of her house she calls her cattery, which word lias been approved and adopted by her friends and acquaintance*. At present tiie runs to. ward yellow and white Angora, but in the future proposes to cultivate darker colored types, (she raises them on scientific diet, and thus far has been exceeding- s ly successful in her undertaking. She claims that she has the only Angora I cattery in the world. Periwinkles Good to Eat. "Most paaple know what periwinkles are,” said an oysterman the otiier day. "Some remember the old conchshell that used to call them to dinner, and know that it was made by a periwinkle; but few know them >as an article of food. Some people eat them, and we always save all we can get, especially if they are young. Nou know, they are enemies of the

Speed of the Bicycle. The great di.tance covered by bicyclist* with ease shows conclusively that the human walking apparatus, although it may be the best contrivance for all the uses for which it was designed, is not to be compared with wheel* for the one purpose of getting over the ground. A single observation of a wheelman going at a moderate speed shows that with an effort which in walking would result in two step* of. say two , feet each, or a total advance m >vement of four feet, with the wheel the advance movement would be two bicycle steps, or downward pressure, of the feet, each re.ulting in a for-1 ward movement of seven and onehalf feet, or fifteen feet for one entire revolution of the pedal shaft, and thi. with less exertion th.n is required to take two steps. In fact, it would be easier for the cyclist to make the fifteen feet on a ; level with one pressure of the foot than to take two steps. Now, in view of these magnified steps made by the bicyclist, it would be interesting to know what the stature of the man must be to make in walking the same distance made by the bicyclist, with the same number of mevement* of the feet. In a Trance Seven Days. A strange story comes from Braye. Allegan County. Mich. A week ago Friday a Mr. Condon, of Bravo, j went to work on the State road ditch between that place and Fennville. I After working all day he started home, going across the fields. After going about I'KJ rods he became so j weak from what he supposed was heart disease that hi fell in tiie weeds and brush, where he lav for seven days unconscious. He states that he came to himself once, but was unable to cry for help , or help himself. On the seventh day I a party started to hunt for the miss- I ing man, but on thut morning lie i came to and got home and was some- ‘ what surprised when he was informed that he had lain there for seven days, he supposing that he had been there just over night. The parties that were hunting for him found where he had lain, and they said that he had dug a hole, they supposed for water, as deep as .he could reach with his arm. It is said that men working on the ditch I knew all the time that Condon was there somewhere, but did not try to find him. Arrested the Whole Audience. A good theatrical story is told of Herr Woltersdorf, the German manager and actor. One Sunday, in the winter, he left the Stadt theater and ; drove to his little playhouse. "Auf den Hausen,” outside the town. The | play announced on the bills was Kabale und Liebe.” The audience consisted of one solitary p<-rson. Nevertheless Woltersdorf insisted on beginning the play, to the chagrin of his company, who expected that the . empty playhouse meant a holiday i for the actors. They took the wildj est liberty with the text, and scarceIly a word reached the audience. Hereupon the solitary audience stood up and demanded thut the play should be duly rendered according to the playbill. "Arrest the public!” said the grim manager to a policeman who lurked behind one of the pillars The officer seized the audience, saying, "I arrest you for disturbing the course of a public entertainment.” To the great relief of the actors, the whole "public’' was then marched off to the watch-house, and the play came to an end. A Miniature World. Four leading French scientists— Villard, Cotard, Seyrig and Tissandler—have succeeded in making a wonderful model of the earth. It is a huge sphere, forty-two feet in diameter, and has painted upon its outside all details of the earth’s geography. At Paris, where the pigmy world is being exhibited, an iron und glass dome has been erected over the globe. The building isei-ht sided, und is well provided with elevators and stairways, which make it an easy task for the visitor to examine "all parts of the world.” The globe weighs eighteen tons, but is so nicely balanced that it can be easily rotated by a small hand wheel. The entire surface area is 325 feet, which insufficient to exhibit all the mountains, rivers, islands and cities even i to the principal thoroughfares of the I latter
