The prices for 1914, have copied from
the Journal Of Commerce, Federal paper,
and of course good authority for that party.
They are the prices quoted on the 7th of
June, of that year. The prices of lS47 are
the loaoest wholesale prices of the same arti-
c|es in the New York market, and are cop
led from the Neto York shipping and Com
mercial list, dated the 18th inst. And what
do these facts and figures, which cannot lie,
prove to the Farmers of this countr,? They
prove this: that the aggregate prices of the
agricultural products above named, were
on the eighteenth of this month, little
more than nine months after the tariff of

POETRY.
For the Express.
TO NOVEMBER.
BY MELANCHOLY.

November! dark and cloudy,
With aspect grim and drear;
All nature cold and gloomy
Proclaims thy coming near;
No more the songsters warb'e
We hear in hedge or tree,
Nor song of merry plowman
When bending DER the lea.
Thy coming is not welcome
No pleasure dost thou bring,
No flower, leaf or blossom
As doth the early spring:
No verdure to the meadow,
AS doth the lively May;
Nor fruit Of rosy summer
Hath met thee in the way.
Thy frown dispels the gladness.
Which beamed on merry youth,
Thou givest nought but sadness
No sorrow dost thou soothe;
Thy day is short and cherries
Thy night is long and drear,
Thy unchansing features
Are known to eye and ear.
Then, speed thee by; November,
We will not bid thee stay,
For brighter days will follow
When thou art pass'd away;
The sleigh bells merry Jingle
Will toll thy dying knell,
And shouts of merry childhood
Viii join to fare thee weIl.

sind Of RUIN is this, which more than

doubles our exports of grain in one year,
and adds THIRTY-sIx MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
more 10 our national aoealth and capital,
from the sale ofhe same kind Of products Of
the furmey? With such facts staring them
in the face, do the FARMERS Of this country
desire to return back TO The PROHIBIToRY tar
iN of 1912! But this is not ALL.
The tariff of 1916 has produced the same
salutary effects upon the reuenue of the ma
ton. 1t appears from c statement of the
Register Of the Treasury, recently publish
ed, that the amount of revenue collected
from customs, from December LIST, 1916, to
August 3lst, lS47, the period since the tar
! if OF 1916 went into opera

Revenue collected during the
same months in 1915, and
1896 under the tariff Of
1912, is 19,7S5,3l4
Excess, 1896, O19
Thus the tariff of 1916 has produced over
THREE MILLIONS Or DOLLARS more
revenue, during the first nine months of it's
operation. commencing Dec. LIST, 1916, than
was produced by the tariff of 1912, during
| the same period, commencing December,
| Est. 1S45!!
| The average rate of duties under the tar
| if of lS42 reduced to the aGvalorem stand
ard was 81 AO-lO0 per cent. Under the
tariff of 1916, the average rate is 10 2o.lGO
per cent. Therefore, to give the great IN
crease Of revenue above stated, under d.
minished rate Of duties, The imports INTO the
country must have increased oNE,TEIRD at
| least! Thus has the commercial bushes of
the country been vastly increased in both
its branches Of export and import. under the
beniticent operation Of the tariff Of 1916.
This is another ,uinouS fact for sensible
people to ponder upon, and particularly the
advocates Of the tariff of 1912, taking it for
granted that they are nsble leople.

there has been no decrease, there has gen
