HOW PROTICTION PROTECTS The summer tourist who goes out to Shirley Point, near Boston, to partake of Tait's fish dinners will riot fail to observe a certain extensive ruin there situate. It is a group of buildings, comprising, within a lofty enclosure, a set of copper smelting works, and a long row of dwellings and workshops in lact, a village of apparently 200 or 300 inhabitants, for whose labor the works, and for whose lodgment the dwellings, had been elaborately and systematically constructed. But not a single soul now tenants shop, factory or dwelling. All is as deserted as Goldsmith's "Auburn." The east wind whistles through the unglazed windows of thp cottages, bats fiit, through the doors, and owls hoot dismally in the deserted belfry of the factory. And as the "loveliest village of the plain" was depopulated by the oppression of a ty rannical monarch, so this village by the sea ban been despoiled through the workings of a law of Congress passed to "protect American Industry.
