TREE TRADE IN TIE WEST.

TREE TRADE In ISh EEsi'
The farmers movement in the West
is beginning to be felt in the politics OF
the country. In Illinois Judge Craig,
the Farmers candidate, has been elect
ed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
by a good majority over Chief Justice
Lawrence, tho Grant-monopoIist can
didate. Grants majority of $4,000 has
fins been overcome in six months after
the election.
This is the beginning of a movement
on the part of the farmers of the West
against the prolectionists of the East,
and it will end in the emancipation Of
the people from the tyranny of capt.
talists. 1t is taking shape and will
have assumed gigantic proportions by
the time the next Presidential election
shall be held. It's motto is Gree
trader and it is evident now that the
protection policy of the Radical party
is doomed to q short existence. That
policy has been discarded by every
enlightened nation on the face Of tue
earth, and is held Oh to by the Eadi-
Gals only because they find in it a 20
tent lever in the oppression of the poor
land the elevation of tle rich over their
wrongs. The South has common in
terest with the West in the adoption Of
free trade principles and will combine
in the new movement as soon as the
opportunity presents itself. The most
important plank in the platform of the
party opposed 10 Eadicalism, in 1873,
will be free trade aud farmers rights.

governor advises the people to obey
patiently this injunction even though
