Taking range of comparison as
long as fourteen years, or from 1863 to
1882, the progress in industrial arts
made by the Indians makes avery fair
showing In 1868 there were but 54,207
acres of land cultivated by the nations
wards, and in 1882 there were 569,932
acres, or an increase Of about 906 per
cent. In the quantiti IS of wheat, corn,
oats, barley, vegetables and hay laised
there is likewise a corresponding in
crease. The number of horses and
mules owned has increased from 49,
$50 to pa, 629, and of cattle from 49,
874 to 1892. But the greatest in
crease has been in sheep, of which in
1868 there were but 1857, against
1,c04,730 in 1882.

1t was Gail Hamilton. we believe,
who devoted a whole book to demon
strate the total depravity and useless
ness of small boys, and particularly
those who are blessed with older sis
tiers; and humorists and satirists have
made the urchin of the family the sub
ject of unlimited and inexhaustible
ridicule and amusement. 1t is there
fore wi Ii joy that younger brothers
throughout the world will welcome an
announcement of their ability and
value, as illustrated by an incident
which recently occurred at Williams
port, Penn. A young lady living in
that town was in the habit of carrying
pins in her mouth, as girs always do,
and swallowed one Of them, which
lodged crosswise in her throat. After
the physicians had given up the case as
hopeless. the young lady's little brother
persuaded her to swallow a button, to
which was attached string. When
the button was s"al,o we'd, the boy
jerked the string and d .slodged the p n.
The young woman's thraa at was some
what torn, but not seriously injured.
Now, let the small boy have the
credit.

a! Greenbock Labor platform Of I0Jod.
Individual greenbackers have always Wig
orously resented the statement that their
party was party of agrarianism, or that il
advocated or entertained communistic doc
trines of any kind. But in the platform of
principles recently adopted in the state of
Iowa, and upon which the great greenbacll
leader, Gen. J. b. Weaver, is running for
governor, we snd them declaring that the
right of all men to the soil is as sacred as
lie itself. If this declaration means any

Protection VS.. Free Trade.

A protective tariff discriminates in favor
of the people of the country where il is
framed a tariff for revenue only, discrimi-
mates against them, and in favor of the
people of foreign nations. The pet scheme
of the revenue reformers is to impose a high
tariff on all such articles as this country does
not manufacture or produce, and to admit
all classes of goods which are produced in
this country, free of duty. Any other kind
of tariff would of necessity be protective
tariff. And right here is found the radical
difference between the protective tariff men,
and the tariff for revenue only, or free trade
men. No considerable number of persons
in this country advocate absolute free trade.
AL parties acknowledge the fact that there
must be certain amount of revenue raised
and that the easiest and least burdensome
way to obtain such revenue, is by duty on
imports. There are, TO be sure, a few vision
aries who would abolish all tariffs and raise
the government revenue by direct tax upon
the property of the country, but this scheme
siderable number of the American people.
Free traders, so called, would lay duty on
teas, coffees, etc, which We do not and can
not produce, while the protective tariff men
would levy tax on all foreign articles which
come in competition with our home man
ufactures, thereby raising the needed rev.
nd al ha fi,,oa
building up home manufactures. and thus
adding to the wealth and prosperity of all
classes, manufacturers, dealers, agriculturists
and laborers. Revenue reformers would re-
move the duty on wool, thereby completely
crushing out this industry in the United
States. They would remove the tax on iron.
on cotton goods, and, in fact, on everything
manufactured within our borders, thus ruin
ing our manufacturing interests, depriving
thousands of operatives of remunerative en-
ployment, and compelling Us TO become
nation of all producers and no consumers;
at the mercy of foreign nations not only for
market for our products, but dependent
upon them for all our manufactured articles:
compelled to sell at such prices as they see
fit 10 give, and TO take in exchange their
manufactures at any price they may demand.
Continued protection means continued
prosperity for our country, while free trade
or tariff for revenue only, means adversely,
hard times, an army of tramps, increase Of
crime, and widespread disaster

of the soil, - they have 10 the use of air or
water. II is - ''sacred - Life itself" As
il il the duty of society TO protect and pre-
serve every mans ife-provided he has not
by some crime forfeited his right to live
therefore according TO Iowa Greenbsckers,
it is the duty of the community to see 10 it
that every man has the opportunity TO en-
JOY this sacred right. II cannot mean that
ali men have right to purchase and hold q
portion of the soil, for this right all men in
this country have, and ever have had. If
there is any meaning whatever in this decls-
ration, it is that whenever any man has more
land than is necessary for the support of
himself and family-which they would prob
ably have determined by congress, the same
as they would have the volume of the cur
rency regulated and decentralization he
must be made to divide with his less FORUM
ate, or more improvident and thriftless
neighbor. The doctrine of a sacred right to
the soil is, in plain English, the doctrine of
an equal division of lands, or agrarianism in
its worst and most hideous form. Farmers
of Michigan, you who by life of toll have
secured fertile and well titled farms, how do
you like this sacred right" doctrine? 1t
never occurred to you when you purchased
your lands, or when you settled in the will
derness, and by a lifetime spent in clearing
and improving your farms, that you might
have a comfortable and even luxurious
abiding place in your old age, that you had
any such sacred right" to any portion of
the footstool, except you acquired it in the
good, old, honorable way, and you would be
10th to endorse the doctrine that you should
divide with Gny lot of blatherskites, whose
sacred rights therein are, at all events,
limited to the small space of two by six,

The Reward of strong Love. By
Little school Girl.

Once there was real nice young lady,
with pretty eyes and pretty hair, and pretty
teeth, and gay and pretty clothes, and she
loved a young man, and he was poor and
handsome, and he loved her too, but her pa
rents were down on him because he couldn't
put on style. But she loved him with a
strong love, and he loved her with strong
love, and it was rewarded-afterward. One
day he won big lot of money, and then her
folks said he was daisy, and they got mar
ried-not the folks, but her and him-and
they still loved each other with strong
love, but nobody brought them no little
babies, and they dikn't like it, because they
wanted some to play with and take out in
the evening. But nobody brought the
babies, and cruel war sprung up, and the
loving young man joined the army, was taken
prisoner, aud kept for seven long years, and
never saw his loving wife, but he loved her
through it all with strong love, and she
loved him through all his absence with her
strong love; then the war got stopped, and
he came home, and what did he find? He
found what he always wished for-seven
little children that his loving wife had pre-
sented him with in his absence. Thus was
strong love ewarded.-E'Lctdnge

One of the most promising signs in the
harmony that prevails in the ranks of the
republican party, in all parts of our country.
There are no internal discussions, such as
were seen during last falls elections. We
hear nothing about stalwarts, half-breeds,
independents, or other factions within the
party, but all are republicans, willing to con-
cede any peculiar views of their own, where
such concession may be necessary to insure
harmony There are absolutely no divisions,
nor are the elections being conducted with a
view to advancing the interests of any par
ticular candidates or set of men. All are
united against the common enemy; princi-
piles are everything, men nothing. This is
notably the case in the states of Ohio and
Pennsylvania, and in view of this fact we
may reasonably look for success in those
states. If the party shall have learned q
lesson from the sweeping and widespread
disaster which overlook it last fall; if instead
of quarreling among themselves about men
and measures, republicans shall continue to
present solid and united front, our defeat
at the last election will not prove to have
been wholly disastrous, and we may reason
ably expect not only success in those north
ern states which hold an election this year,
but also certain victory in 1884. The country
is surely republican in sentiment, and if the
members of the party all stand squarely in
battle array and pull together, success is alb
solutely sure.

CONFIDENCE.

CONFIDENCE.
Zopesa is a certain preventive of
malarial troubles, as it keeps the
liver active. 1t makes bilious fever
impossible. On the same grounds
it makes indigestion impossible
and the blood pure.
1t is want of Judgment to allow
prejudice to prevent one from
trying this remedy. The writer
