smart market day for number of weeks all

Sheep aud Lanibs-The tendency is at low

for full car loads. A few select Lambs, very
fine and tat, &c, and we have heard of one
man that obtained lc more than anybody else ;

Poultry-A. Williamson sold one ton of
Poultry at l24 to l3c per h. which were the
ruling prices to-day.
BUTTER MARKET.-There was u fair attend
ance at the st. Adams butter market on Tues
day. The receipts were large. and the mar
ket quiet and firm. There is no special chan
ges to note from last weeks prices, except
for strictly gilt edged. which would sell from
one to two cents per lb. higher, there being
very little at this class of butter coming for
ward. We quote good at eighteen cents
choice, nineteen to twenty-five cents gilt
edged. twenty-three to twenty -four cents per
pound, with occasional sales at higher price.

AS the Democratic papers are
still circulating the SANDER that
Carl Schurz received $1,000 each
for his speeches against Allen in
1874. and will demand similar terms
for the present campaign. it is sat
isfactory to have definite assur-
ance from the Cincinnati CONNER
ciGl that Mr.. Schurz not only did
not receive a dollar for his speeches
against Allen, but he insisted on
paying his own expenses; and in
1872, when he spoke for the Demo-
cratic candidate, he pursued the
same course.

There is a frank Democrat out

There is frank Democrat out
in Detroit who has not yet learned
that the grand battle cry of the
party is 'reform." He has heard it
is "spoils," and has been saying so
publicly amid great applause. His
name is w. l. Bancroft, and the
burden of his first campaign speech
was this: "There is no denying
that we want to turn the Republi-
cans out of Office SO we can fill them.
The spoils of office are what we are
contending for, and 10y the grace
of God, if we succeed in this cam
paign, the Democrats will have the
offices !" The man is so hungry it
makes him piouS. The whole crowd
said amen with an emphasis that
would have been a credit to a camp
meeting.-Ne,c York Tribune.

TILDEN's CLAIM ON WORKING
MEN. OF course the wOrkingmen
will be appealed to for their votes
in favor of "Tilden and Reform
but they will not be told such truths
about the New York Governor as
this one so plainly told by the Chi
cago Post and Mail:
"When Sam. j. Tilden's Michi-
gan iron Company went into bank
ruptcy in 1915, it was owing its mi
ncrs and labOrers about 500, 600.
Just before this event, and after it
was seen to be inevitable, several OF
the honest stockholders voluntarily
agreed, provided all the stockhold
erS would unite, to raise the full
amount due to laborers out of their
private funds. 1t was an honest
proposition from men who under
stand the rights and needs of those
on whose labor they had protited
All the stockholders, save one.
agreed to it. That one refused. and
consequently the workmen did not
get their pay, and have not yet re-
ceived it. 1t would have cost that
man about $500 to have paid his
proportion Of this honorable and
voluntary assessment. 1t was an
honest debt, but he was in New
York and he knew the workingmen
could not sue for their rights, for
they had no money. He had, it is
said, about $1,000, O00-and what
did he care for the suf1erings and
privations of a few workingmen
away up in the woods of Michigan,
who needed every dollar they hon
estly earned? That man was Sam

States, who now has the sublime
impudence to claim to be the friend
and benetactor eff the laboring men

THE ICE QUESTION.

And while the heat is so intense,
and, consequently, the uses for ice
multiplying, the ice companies, in
the most heartless manner, have
doubled the price. No one out of
New York can appreciate how op
preSSive such raise is. The water
runs on an average fifty miles in
pipes, and before it reaches the con-
sumner is as warm as dish water. In
fact it is entirely unfit for use. The
ice business is in the b ands of two
companies, and, being thus placed,
it is huge monopoly. To erect ice.
houses on the Hudson, to build de-
pots in the, city, to buy thousands
of horses, and to fit up thousands
of wagons to deliver the ice, re.
quires so much capital that cOmpe-
tition is impossible, and the whole
city is left at the mercy of Che two
great corporations that are in the
business. They fix their own prices
and terms, and the people are CON-
PEELED to submit. Consequently the
thousands of people who are using
only half what they should before
the raise, will be compelled to do
without it altogether, and a fearful
increase of mortality may be looked
for. But the managers of the ice
will not only have ice
enough for their champagne, but
they will have more champagne for
their ice. 1t is horribly selfish
world.
