You used to tell us that the tariff was going to protect us against foreign labor. It did not seem to work in Jo's case or mine. I held it down for three months at Beaver Falls, but it is just the same there. Those mills are full of foreigners. I only made $31 in twenty-six days, and seldom got in over seven days in the week. I paid $4.25 board, so you see how I came out. Protection didn’t seem to do me any good there so I lit out for the “wild West.” The first place I struck was a big farm owned by an old fellow named Staples. I walked from the station to this place with two Swedes; one just over could not speak a word of English. Staples seemed like a nice sort of a man, asked me where I was from and of- fered me my dinner, but he hired both Swedes and let me move on. The next place I tried for work was at the Elgin farm. The boss, a fel- low named Todd, told me he had nothing but Polanders on his place. I heard about him afterward that he was aregular old crank and when he wanted a hand he would drive all over the country hunting a Pole. Well, then I went to the Park farm about 7,000 acres, they gave me my dinner but I couldn’t get a job. There were twenty-eight men at the table, and all but four were Scandi- navians. I am told that all the big farmers out here would rather hire Norwegians or Swedes than Ameri- cans, and some of the big farmers seud over and bring gangs of them. They say the foreigners work for lower wages, and are easier suited with regard to board and other ac- commodations. Now if the tariff is to help the like of me. there should be a duty of $500 a head an foreign laborers. One Swede where I am working now seenas like a rather de- cent chap. He came over with his uncle a year ago last spring. His uncle has a farm in Minnesota, and loaned this young man $60 and told him to buy clothes enough with it tolast him five years He showed me a woolen shirt he said cost him $1.25 in our money. I paid $2.50 for the one I tried to trade for his. Now, pap, how in thunder amI helped by the tariff? I have to pay more for that shirt, all the way from Pittsburg to Dakota I have to buck against these forgeigners that if not exactly paupers, can doas this young man, bring enough clothes to do five years. If they protect one Ameri- can manufacturer, they ought to protect all of them, but as soon as these fellows who hire laborors find out that I was manufactured in this country, they tell me to take a walk and run in the foreign article. Sc now you know why I've gone back on the old party as you say. If I'm off my base let me know,. Your affectionate son, S. D. Rosrssos. —Owen county, (Ind.,) Democrat. A CRUSADER’S CROSS.

A Plan That Has Its Disadvantages as Well as Its Advantages. The State of Indiana is trying a very x ent in the way of secur ing books fo e public se’ As we have before pointed out, the actual cost of a school-t and binding ifa large number of copie cost of each copy is but slight sold the The s fact and has made a contract with a single syndicate to supply all the books for its 7 In this way a reduction of sixty per cent. in the price of books has been effected. This action of the Legislature was precipitated by the pub- lic sentiment against the alleged owner- ship of the school boards by a publish- ing firm. and its popularity has been in- creased by the fact that a school-book trust has been formed among the pub- lishers. It is the public against the publishers. We have the people adopt- ing the methods of a trust in order to defeat a trust. A trust is generally a combination of producers to raise prices; here we have a combination of con- sumers to reduce prices. The consumers in this case are the general public, and act through the one organization which can represent them—the State Legisla- ture. This is not the first time an American State has taken ac- tion in this matter. California has for the past five or six years taken the entire publication of the school- books into its own hands. This experi- ment, however, seems to have been a rash one, for the State now owns a cost- ly plant for the publishing of certain books. Minnesota has gone at the ques- tion ina more conservative way. The State makes contracts with different publishers to supply the books which the State Board deems the best. The publisher who disposes of, say, 50,000 books ina single sale, without the in- tervention of agents or retailers, can of course afford to grant a great rebate from the usual prices. In Indiana, the State contract, instead of being made with the best-known firms in the coun- try, is made with an entirely new com- pany organized for the purpose of ob- taining these books. The plan has, then, its disadvantages as well as its advantages. The quality of the books is stated by publishers to be inferior to that of those which the school would. use under the old system. Besides this, the action of the Legislature entirely pre- vents the publishers from canvassing the State of Indiana, suggesting to teachers new books and new methods of educa- tion. There are a great many school- book agents in the country whose visits are an undeniable educational advan- tage to the teachers, and the driving of these out of the State is possibly as much of a loss as the driving out of the agents whose work consists in the bribing of school boards isa gain.—Christian Union. A TWO-CENT SWINDLE. Unique Method of Cheating Uncle Sam Out of Postal Dues. “A man who would beat the Govern- ment out of postage is pretty small. But the fact that it is comparatively easy to avoid the payment of sucha nominal postal tax by taking advantage of a department regulation has led to such swindling where you would hardly expect it,” said Frank T. Smith, a well- known down-town clerk, who used to be in the postal service. “Each year,” he continued, “the num- ber of letters dropped into the pockets at the post-office without the necessary stamp affixed is surprisingly large, and every succeeding postmaster has en- deavored to devise some way of pre- venting such accumulations. Much de- lay has been caused by this seeming negligence or carelessness, and the serv- ices of several clerks have been em- ployed in ascertaining the names of the senders of this mail. The department rule is to return all such letters for postage, and where business addresses are not printed on the envelopes the seal has to be broken to get such names. The fact that such is the rule has de- veloped a picayune style of swindling. Two down-town brokers, it is said, have carried on a correspondence for several months without investing a cent in postage. Their method of mulcting the Government is unique. For instance, Mr. John Smith wishes to communicate with Mr. James Jones. The address on the envelope will rea i If not delivered in { ten days return to : James Jones, —James street, New York City. z JOHN Dor, —Broadwa: Cc o stamp is affixed, and when the clerks in sorting the mail discover this letter, they toss it to one side, after first stamping itinred ink: ‘Returned for postage.’ Naturally the postal clerks believe that Mr. Jones is the sender, and the letter reaches him. The address, John Doe, is, of course, fictitious. In this way they have kept up acorrespondence for months, and Uncle Sam’s gray :oats have been performing messenger service gratis.”—N. Y. Star. The Cruiser San Francisco. A rather curious illustration of the superstitious belief in signs and omens is just seen in the opposition to the name given the new cruiser launched the other day at the San Francisco navy yard. In honor of that city it had been decided to call the ship San Francisco, but nosooner was the name announced than the Navy Department began to get letters by the bushel, declaring that it was an omen of bad luck, and the vessel thus named would inevitably go to the bottom with all on board. The source of this superstition nobody appears to know. There are no records of naval disasters on which it might have been based. Whatever it was founded on, it had noinfluence with Secretary Tracy, who threw the letters into the waste basket, and telegraphed the officials at Mare’s Island to stick to the name San Francisco. The cutter is now afloat un- der that name, and the cranks are prob- ably on the lookout for the news ofa great marine disaster.—N. Y. Herald. —A citizen of North Hampton, N.
