F. P. VINCENT, I Clifiirman. I U li> I /\»«« ai I'roieclioiilfct. Henry K. Thurber, the great New York merchant, tells why he is a pro'eetionist in the following words: I am a protectionist because hrift follows the enactment of wise laws. Because I love my own country better than I do foreign countries. Because protection builds up our i towns into cities and enhances the ' yalue of our houses and lands. Because every dollar sent abroad , to purchase 7 goods that"we can pro duce at home makes us a dollar the poorer. Because protection in this coun try gives labor better wages than free trade. Becanse.it is botter for this coun try to feed, clotlie and house our own labor in this country, than to support foreign labor iu other coun tries with our money. Because it it true, as Peter Cooper well said: "No good eoods pur chased abroad are cheap that take the place of our own labor and our own raw material." Hound Ko To He UNed. The following is from the Oska loosa Herald. It illustrates the mulish obstinacy of some men and reveals a fact that is to count tre mendousli' in the next Presidential campaign: One of our farmer friends, whose only fault is that he is a Democrat— and he is not to be blamed for that, for his father before him was dyed fn the wool, and tie never reads the newspapers—came to town one day this week to buy some pugar. llis good wife was putting up fruit and i vended about fifteen pounds of sweetness. The dialogue iu grocery ran abotit, as follows : Farmer—"What are you doing, yutng man ?" Clerk—"Waiting on you. Weigh ing out your sugar." Farmer—"How much are you giving me ?" Clerk—"A dollar's worth." Farmer-—"Yes I know; but how mnny pounds ?'' (Hers—"Twenty four." Farmer—"Twenty-four! Why it used to be only fourteen." Clerk—"Yes but HcKinley did it." Farmer—"Well, run her back and give her only fourteen pounds. If 1 took home twenty-four pounds of sugar for a dollar the old woman would make me vote the Republican ticket, and I'll be hanged if I'll do that." 1t has been found that there are six hundred buildings recorded on the books of the New York Fire Department as insecure and under condemnation, but nothing is being done to strengthen them, and the department seems to be waiting for them to fall aud prove its judgment correct. It is explained that the process of condemnation and repair or removal is a long one, and may be so complicated by the obstacles interposed by the owner as to make it practically impossible to do any thing. So, then, the owners of six hundred buildings in New York are so indifferent to their own interests and the lives of their tenants that they will not do anything to keep the buildings from falling down, even when the danger is imminent. These cannot be classed as good citizens, but what is to be done with them ? The city can scarcely afford to let them alone, and when their buildings tumble, one by one, into 'the street, calmly remove the debris and wait for the next victim. That would be objectionable on the score >of expense, to say nothing of the municipal reputation, ,-but as the law is said to stand it is about all that can be doue at present. There have been communities in which the {State would not permit a citizen to hold property that he did not make good use of, but that would be con* trary to the American idea of per sonal liberty, and some other way of dealing with the obnoxious citi zens must be found. The easiest way will be to let them alone and let the buildings tumble, and that is the one that will probably be adopted. Kva 'lan'* Failure. Mrs. "Josh" Mann, whom a com bination of unscrupulous theatrical people were dragging before the public in the character of a woman slinging mud at a family name famous in American history, has come to grief. No one will regret it, and the general wish of the peo ple of all kinds and conditions will be, doubtless, that those responsible for her appearance 011 the stage will ! suffer ten-fold more than she.
