sig month, one bushel of corn and ten
pounds of bacon on which to support myself

chauce to get provisions on time at high
price it is true, still it is much better to pay
high price than to labor at twelve dollars q
month. pay the landowner two dollars and
fifty cents per acre rent for land, the selling
price of which is about ten dollars an acre.
With the lien law I can support my family
and give them little home. l am almost
independent-will be in few years II We
have good crops. Now, the repeal of the
lien law will throw me into slavery to the
landowner. would have no credit without
the lien law, and if it 10 repealed there will

The Interstate Industrial Exposition
of Chicago

The Ninth Annual Exhibition of the
Institution will commence September 18th,
and close October 23d, 1891. 1t is the
opinion of the managers of the Institution
that in the display which is about to be
laid before the people Of the Northwest,
they have succeeded more fully in realizing
their aims than any other year that has
proceeded it. Therefore, it will be hardly
necessary to assure our readers, fully nc
quainted as they are with the general char
acter and purposes Of this important or
gsnizahon, that such annual exhibitions
present to them the only opportunity Of
keeping abreast Of the world in its latest
inventions, in industry and progress, in
Science and Art. The pressure tor space
this year has 81 far exceeded other years
that very many worthy exhibits have been
laid aside, as il was found impossible to
locate them, but the result has been bcne'
fetal in so far as it has increased the tone
and form of the entire exhibition.
All the railways will give their lowest
excursion rates to visitors.
