A staunch republican has a democrat wife who had an idea that during the last administration a reduction of the tariff would greatly benefit the working classes, while her husband argued that the election of Harrison and the triumph of the protection idea would have the same result.

One day recently tno wife said to the husband: “There isn’t a thing in the house to eat.” “I know it,” replied the husband, “but what can I do? t have had no work for weeks, and I have been trying every place but can fiud none, and am totally discouraged.” “Well,” said she, “go to the closet and get me that protection to ‘Ara-rican labor’ banner you carried during the last campaign. I’ll cut it up and boil it, and may lie it’ll do for soup. ” Rushville Jacksonian.
