EFFECTS OF THE TARIFF.-The editor of the
Baltimore Wing illustrates, in an admirable man
ner, the effect Of the tariff on prices by the fol.
lowing anecdote. Those who have been in the
habit OF using cut nails will recollect that few
years ago the standing price was from g. TO s
cents. But competition in the manufacture at
home has reduced the cost from so TO rs per
cent? and has produced greatly improved article.
The Wing thus illustrates its position "a Young
carpenter and horsepower called at nail agency
10 this city, to purchase keg of nails; upon in.
curry he found The price to be four dollars and a
nay the cask, of 100 pounds-being four and a hulf
cents pound. Having read the trace-chain
story, IN which it was said the farmer piled ST.
cents on one heap for the chain, and 371 on ano,h
er Tor the tariff, or duty; the joiner asked how
much The duty was on imported nails! Being
answered four dollars per key of 100 pounds or
four cents per pound--he deliberately piled I'D four
dollars for the duty, and throwing down 50 cents
for his keg OF nails, remarked, if these is import
cd mails and the duty is so high, you must sell a
darned site OF them to make living at the bust
ness"

The Madisonian denied few days ago tina,
President Tyler had ever been a Wing. Let
that functionary answer for himself:
From The speech Of Mr.. Tyler at the Wing din
mer, Washington, 1910.
Il do declare, in the presence of my Heavenly
Judge, that the nomination given to me was nei.
ther solicited nor expected. I went to the Con.
vention in honor of Henry Clay, and, in the de-
feat of the wishes of his friends as one of them,
made sacrifice of feeling, even though my own
name was associated with that of Harrison. X =
| am true and genuine Wing, and in the Capt.
tol yonder have shown my love of Wing prin-
cpies."

A farmer living in Kent county, Delaware, says
that the good lands in that county gave this year,
as usual, fair crops of wheat but below, it is be-
lleved, an average quantity. The oat crop has
been short of an average, at least one-fourth to
one-third. The corn, now at maturity, is very
small, and it is the opinion of judicious farmers
that not more than half an average crop will be
realized; and the potatoes, with very partial ex-
ceptions in particular neighborhoods, are utterly
worthless.

cause they have not been beaten quite as bad as
they were then. Let them wait till the returns

AN OMEN.-The Polk, Dallas, and Carroll flag,

was applied to for advice, by man who looked
like living skeleton: he said that in early life
he had been remarkably hearty and robust, but for
the last four years he had been gradually wasting
away, till his coat would wrap twice around him.
He had suffered all but death, and had been under
the care of nine different physicians. and not one
of them had done him any good, neither could they
tell what allied him.
He said thai his appetite was so good that he
could hardly eai enough; he suffered from papita-
tion OF the heart, pain and occasional numbness of
his limbs, and always felt faiigued; shooting pains

his bowels, and darting pains in different parts IT

chills and flashes of heat, drowsiness and dizzi-
ness, frightful dreams, and so miserable was he
that he had rather die than live. DR. R. told him
that he had worms, and he could cure him. The
man shook his head, and said it was impossible.
but he would try;--so the DIR gave him box OF
Sherman's Worm Lozenges, and told him to take
them according to the printed directions accompa-
nying them. He returned in three days, and said
he felt like new being-that the first dose bro's
away a tapeworm 70 or so feet long, and the sec
ond dose brought away 2S feet more. Thus two
doses Of Sherman's Worm Lozenges effected a
cure; and although but few months have elapsed,
he is now as fat and hearty as he ever was in his
life. After years of misery, swallowing enormous
quantities of medicine, and spending hundreds of
dollars, he was cured by only one 25 cent box of
