acceptance. With sophistry which is not
brilliant, and a caution which chills the
reader, the once dashing, bold and magnetic
Blaine strives TO trim his sails 10 the breezes
of popular favor Touching first upon the
vexed question OF the tariff, he declares that
the two great political parties are here rad
ically in conflict" The Democrats demand
that federal taxation shall be exclusively for
public purposes" Republicans then, If their
tattooed standard bearer be correct, must be-
lieve in taxes for private purposes. There
is not in the Constitution line which au-
thorzes the imposition of such taxes. They
are not within the legitimate power of civil
government. In this view of the subject we
are sustained, not only by the best constltu-
tiOnal lawyers, but also by the Supreme
Court Of the United States which, in the
case Of the Loan Association VS.. Topeka,
said; Beyond cavil there can be no law

pose. To lay with one hand the
power OF the Government on the property

After speaking of the surplus revenue,
Mr. Blaine says that mo dollar has been

Mr.. #. l.. MOORE:
Dear Sir: The Sulky Plow which you
had in the pillow contest at Rockville, on

that time, has given satisfaction far be-
yond my expectation, as | did not believe
"Casaday" or any other pillow would do
the work as it has done.
was satisfied that the "Casaday" was
laboring under very great disadvantage
on the 4th, and | have since proved to
my satisfaction that my belief was cor
rect The reason the "Casaday" did not
do better work than any of the others
was because it was not adjusted accord
ing to directions-and not because At ,oas
NOT and as not capable Of doing perfect
DOrk.
On reaching home | readiusted the
pillow and went into the filthiest stoniest
and toughest ground | could find on the
background that was thickly grown
up with green weeds ard briers, besides
having old dry weeds on it from four
to eight feet high-but it made no diff
ference to the "Casaday," as it went
through, leaving the ground thoroughly
and beautifully plowed, entirely hiding
every brier and weed, not deviating one
'"ch either in depth or width of furrow,
and not working my team near as hard
as my Syracuse Walking Pow.
DO not worry my team by pulling at
the lines and trying to drive them, but
hang them on the left-hand lever, let
ting my horses walk to suit themselves,
only taking my lines in hand at the cor.
ners to turn.
L would not hesitate to enter into con-
test with any other pillow in the market,
in any kind or condition of land, for |
know the "Casaday" Sulky Plow will DO
its work absolutely perfect.
Yours, &C., W. SCOTT

The Prohibition Convention held at Pitts

John, of Kansas, for President and VIM.
Daniel, of Maryland, Vice-President. The
platform declares for the suppression of the
distillation and bancful liquor traffic in this
country and the Inauguration of woman
suffrage.
The leaders upon this question in this
county think that the ticket will not receive
more than fifty votes throughout the county
although it was carried at one time by fif-
teen hundred majority, and that the two
old parties will receive their usual votes
The election of Congressman instead of a
President, they say, is the point to begin
to put this theory into practice, as Presi.
dent alone attempting to advance Prohibit
ten would he a mere figure-head. This
proposition being undoubted and the party
divided, they contend that the full strength
of Prohibition in the United States will mol
be asserted at the coming election.
