Cost nk aEasE.isl .EeisGHH

The total cost Of the farm fences in
the United States is given officially at
Sl,747, $40, U31, and number Of acres
Of land inclosed is 25o, 505.6 Gil. The
interest on this investment alone. at 6
per cent, amounts to $1O4, $50, 025,
and the annual cost of repairs is esti-
mated at S93, 9G3, 1S7. And yet in
view Of this vast aggregate investment
equal to the value of nearly all the viii
ages in the country, and the expense Of
repairs which comes from the avails of
labor, protective tariff Of 90 per cent
in gold has been levied to keep out the
foreign supply and add one-ffth to the
cost Of every rod of board fence. The
government gets no revenue from this
source, but the far,ners have to pay q
huge bill of nearly -, 600, ,OOO annually,
without any pretense of equivalent.
This is the way they are protected. -

A SPECIAL DISPATCH to the Chicago

most Internal schemes ever devised to
practically disfranchise large portion OF
the foreign born population, came to light
in the house on Friday

are more candidates for congress en- the
Grant ticket than districts in the state,
and was intended to shut off the German
and Irish vote that might
possibly b. in favor of
the nominees of the Cincinnati or some
other convention. A registry bill was
introduced in the senate, but its proyis-
sions did not suit the game to be played,

10 be the administration candidate for con-
gress In that district, moved to strike out
all after the enacting clause and "Insert

eighth section of his precious substitute,

IN the bill, provided that when foreign.

before being allowed TO vote, produce in

cation papers, or certified copies of
