"Protection" and Wages.
The assertion that the workmen of
America are benefited by tariff monopo-
lies was met the other day by Congress-
man Hnril iu the following remarks made
to a newspaper correspondent m Wash-
ington:
"Protection operates as a robbery ot
the 'aboriug man and the man receiving
wages. The agriculturist has 11® protec-
tion except pretentiously on wool, while
lie lms to pay seventy-five to one hundred
per cent, on the woolen goods he must
needs have. The day-laborer receiving a
wage, or the mechanic, caipenter, shoe-
maker and men on a salary ad have no
protection, and all are compelled to pay
from twenty-five to sixty percent.ot what
they receive in the increased price of
goods which are protected, and which
they are obliged to buy. I visited the
house of a friend of mine in Toledo the
other day rclio had a family of seven chil-
dren. He had a wage ot $1.50 a day,
bringing him. in a year, an income of
$450. I asked him how much he paid for
the clothing ot his family. He said $100
at least. I told him he could have bought
those clothes in Canada for $75. I dem-
onstrated to him that he paid in a year
nearly $200 more for articles required by
himself and family than they could have
been purchased for in Canada. I told
him that this was the nefarious result of
a protective tariff. He said that this was
a new light to him, and that lie would tell
all his neighbors and lriends that the pro-
tective tariff was taking nearly one-half
their wages, which the Government did
not receive, because these goods were
manufactured in America, and therefore
paid no duty to the Govern men t, but
which went into the pockets of the home
manufacturer. The result of a protective
tariff for twenty years, has been the rob-
bery of all men on wages of from oue-
third to one-haif of what they have re-
ceived, with no advantages to compen-
sate lor.the loss to any, unless it be those
who are employ ed iu the manufacturing
industries whose products are protected.
But these men are out of employment a
great portion of the time, and for the
last ten years I will undertake to show
the average wages of the men in such
manufacturing industries have been less
daily than those of the same persons
similarly employed-for the ten years pre-
ceding 18G0 under a revenue tariff''
The Valley of the Teche.
The valley of the Teche in Louisiana
has been termed not inaptly the Italy of
America. Unlike other valleys, it is not
formed by its vicinage to the sloping base
of opposite mountains, leaving bat a nar-
row channel for the passage ot a stream.
The hurls ot the Teche, bordering the
bayou from which this valley takes its
name, form a gently declining area to its
waters, from a rising elevation, that can
hardly claim the dignity of a mountain.
The grassy shores of the bayou are shad-
ed with every variety ot forest trees,
which in many places dip their branches
into the water. The streams ot the bayou
are as clear as crystal,abonud with fish
and seem the favorite resort of both in-
land and sea-going birds, which may be
seen skimming over their surfaces at all
hours ot the day. Its sloping lawns, dot-
ted every few miles with pretty draw-
bridges facilitating neighborly intercourse
give it a quiet domestic atmosphere. The
prairies of the Teche are iuexpress'bly
beautiful, and form one of the most pleas-
ing features of the scenery. When the
south wind moves over the fielils of tall
rank grasses which cover their undulating
surface, they resemble the billows of som e
vast inland lake. These Prairies are sit-
uated west ot Bayou Teche and south of
Bayou Cocoprie. In the south they are
limited by an impassable sea marsh, and
in tiio west by the Calcasieu and Sabine.
The prairies of the States embrace up-
ward of 2,500,000 acres. Owing to the
richness of its soil and its wonderful adap-
tability to the culture of the cane, this
Don'i Pound Your Steak.
We heaivi great deal about that "abom-
ination called fried steak.'' I will tell you
how to make tough steak tender, and
how to fry it sojhat it will be juicy. Do
not pound it, either with a rolling-pin or
even with that jagged piece of metal or
crockery ware which house furnishing
dealers will try to delude yon into buying.
If you do pouuil it. you will only batter
its fibers and let out all its juices. Pour
into the bottom of a dish three tablespoon
fuls each of vinegar and salad-oil,sprinkle
on then half a salt-spoonful of pepper,
(and a table-spoonlul of chopped parsley,
if you have it.) l)o not use any salt. The
action of the oil and vinegar will be to
soften and disintegrate the tough fibers
ot the meat without drawing out its juices.
The salt would do that most effectually
and harden the fibers besides. I'ou may
add a tea-spoonful of chopped onion, if
you like its flavor. Lay the steak on the
oil and vinegar for three or four hours,
turning it over every half-hour, and then
saute, or half-try it quickly; season it with
salt after it is cooked, and serve it with a
very little fresh buttc-r, or with the gravy
from the frying-pan. If you follow these
directions and do not try to improve upon
thein, you can have tender steaks here-
after at will.—Golden Eule.
A party of forty-six immigration, compris-
ing a number of families, all from Pickers
county, Georgia, arrived in the city some
Jays ago, en route to Erath comity, in this
State. They purchased wagons, teams, pro-
visions, etc.. and left yesterday inorniLg on
the* trip overland. They claim to be the ad-
vance party of a large number that contem-
plate soon moving to Texas from Georgia
and Alabama. In conversation with our rn-
portcr, they stated that the Texas fever was
aging there to an extent heretofore un-
known, and that North Texas Geemed to be
he objective point, with most of those deli-
ng to come west.—These parties intend di-
gging at agricultural pursuits in Erath coun-
ty.—Ft. Worth Advance, 9th.
Essex Pigs-
The Farmer's Tteview tells its readers
that "tiio improved Essex is one of the
best of the smaller breeds of swine," but
that the breed has never been :i general
favorito, except for crossing and improv-
ing coarser breeds. ''They are entirely
black, fine boned, with a shortish face,
small, erect ears, body of good length
hams usually very good, the coating of
hair usually rather thin. They mature
early, fatten very easily, and have
large proportion o£ fat meat; are quiet in
disposition not especially prolific." The
Suffolk "resembles the Essex in a num-
ber of respects, but is pure white iu color
Early maturity, unusual readiness to fat
ten at almost any age; a quiet disposition
a well formed carcass are points all con
ceded to the Snffolks, and it is also to be
admitted that a cross between this breed
and any ot the larger and coarser breeds
will often produce pigs which are scarcely
to be improved."
Another Famous Jersey Cow.
Last week a report of the butter yield of
Ellin's ''Belle of Scitcate" was give! ■ It show
d a total of 705 pounds of butter in one year
But the Xew York Herald gives an account
f Darling's "Eurotas" who, from November,
18?!), to November, 1880, gave 778 pounds of
butter. The l ariod of trial was 344 days, or a
little less than a year, and the milk for that
time weighed 7,."25 pounds. As regards treat-
ment it is said: In winter she hid all the liay-
she wanted and in addition a pail of gruel or
bran and catmeal, thin enough to dsink, three
times a day. When grass came to stimulate
the milk-secreting organs, she was fed three
quarts of cornmeal daily in two teeds, corn
having previously been found to tend rapidly
to ileali. Iu hoc weather she was stabled from
midday sun, and fed green fodder while up,
with the choicest pasture while turned out.—

Decatur Ala., Feb. 4.—a bloody-
tragedy occurred here to-day. Two men
named Dawson and Tickings while go-
ing through a lane to the woods were
halted by a man named Letson, who
claimed that Davidson had slandered his
daughter and demanded a retraction ol
the language used, which Davidson re-
fused. Letson at once drew a revolver
and shot at Davidson and was about to
oot again when Pickings knocked tlu-
weapon out of his hand with an axe helve.
They then clenched. During the desper-
ate struggle which ensued Letson got his-
revoi er out and sen' two bullets inti
Pickings'body. Pickings at einpted ti
run, when Letson shot him twice, killing
him instantly. They had au old grudge
against each other, and, while Pickings
only intended to prevent the shooting ot
Davidson, it is thought Letson believed
Lis life was in jeopardy. Pickings was
defeated in the race for Governor not long
ago.

ot good farming," says a
American linral Home, "is
deep ploughing, thorough cultivation, a
judicious rotation of crops, plenty of clo-
ver and sowed corn, with stock enough to
eat all ot the fodder and coarse grain
raised on the farm. Manure made of
straw alone is not very valuable, but with
the addition of corn, meal, bran and oats,
it will make the crops grow. 1 do not de
sign to sell any grain from my farm but
wheat and beans until it is fed to stock
and made into meat. I prefer to buy
bran by the ton, thus enriching the man-
ure pile and giving increased fertility to
cur fields."
'1 he .Tobacco Worm.
A gentleman who has had long exper-
ience hi raising tobacco, gives the follow
ing account of his manner ot keeping rid
of the worms which make such tearful
inroads upon the growing plants. lie
says that he has a number of artificial
jimson flowers made ot tin, and stuck up-
on poles in different parts of the tobacco
fields. He baits the flowers with sugar
and arsenic, and the tobacco fly will eat
lfc and fall dead close by. lie says a few
ot these doses save the labor of two hands
in an ordinary crop.
Sunshine
Sunshine is the best medicine. The
World requires more of it, morally and
physically. It is more soothing than
morphine and more potent than poppies
ft is good for liver complaint, tor netiral-
gi.i, for rheumatism, for melancholy—for
everything. Make your rooms sunny and
cheerful; build your houses so as to coin-
aiaud the sunlight all day long.
