was less weakness, and the advance OF the

decline in lard not great. The essentially

the fact that markets which are at present but
little governed by speculation were scarcely
affected. Even the cotton market closed little

TOO COSTLY A H1REET

In the House of Representatives, Mr. Chace,
of Rhode Island, recently made an unanswcr-
able argument in favor OF keeping the tariff
where il is The full text of the speech con-
tains one passage which we commend to the
attention of Free Traders. They are persistently
advocating the abolition of the tariff on the
ground that protection has not opened the
markets of the world to American industries.
Mr.. Chace. while admitting theoretically the
desirability of having the markets of the world,
nroves that the means that would open the doors
of other countries to our people would give Eng
lish manufacturers the opportunity of regain
ing the American market lie says:
You tell us that we cramped and crippled because

The locl, of resistance in the Legislature to
the bill to compel electric wires to go under
ground. is now explained by alleged defects IN
The measure. If that is true, Senator DAILY, who
had charge of the matter will need to explain
his course. There has long been an urgent de-
uand for some measure of relief from the I'M
slightly wires which now disfgure the streets OF
this city. and it will be unfortunate il the bill
proves defective, as it seems TO offer the only
hope of relief.
Mr.. Daniel Manning does not appear to have
any faith in the resuScitatlon OF the OH ticket
lie is chairman Of the Democratic State Com
mittee. and has long been Mr.. T1dens chief
fuglcman in this State; hence he ought TO
know whether or not the old man Is again
10 be candidate for the Presidency. The
fact that Mr. Manning is hard at work III the IN
terest of Governor Cleveland should put at rest
the talk of Tilden But it will not do for Mr..
Manning TO overlook the popularity, among the
Democratic masses, of the Hon. Roswell 7.
Flower. There have been numerous evidences
of it recently in the rural Democratic press.
When the clans gather in Albany on Wednes-
day. 20 discuss the situation, the friends OF Mr..
Flower will no doubt be out in force.
The Democratic majority of the House Com
mittee on Elections is anxious to add to the
other blunders of the session by dcpriving Mr..
Mckinley Of the seat to which he was fairly
elected. Fortunately there are some Democrats,
notably Mr.. Robertson and Mr.. Hurd, who pro-
test against such an outrage. Speaker Carlisle
when he appointed the Election Committee was
reported to have said that he hoped 1t would
sit in judicial capacity. The speeches to-day
on the Mckinley case will show how greatly
mistaken the Speaker was, if he really had any
such expectation. There has, perhaps, never
been more partisan Committee on Elections.
But it will probably be sustained by the ma
iority in the House. The Democratic capacity
for laundering can be relied upon TO commit
just such mistake.
Ii is announced that the final negotiations for
the Egyptian conference have been concluded,
but it does not appear that any agreement has
been reached to shut out the demands Of Italy
and France. They insist on discussing in the
conference all phases of the Egyptian ques-
ton, while England's purpose is to permit con-
sideration only of the financial situation. The
conference will no doubt define for itself
what the scope of its proceedings shall be.

WooDBURN, CLARKE COUNTY, |
Nav IA, 1884.

w OODBURN, CLARKE COUNTY,
May IA, 1884.
To the Editors of the Standard:
After long silence we take up our
pen to let the readers of your valua-
BILE paper know how things are run
ming out here in Iowa This has been
very pleasant spring, the weather
for the last month is all the farmers
could desire. Nearly all are done
planting corn and now are cultivat-
ing their first planting. Oats look
well, also grass. There was about
thirty acres of oats sown to each farm
on an average. This will make a big
harvest. But little wheat is sown in
this part of the State, as it does not
seem to do we'll. Corn, oats, grass
and stock are the leading products
here. There will be full crop of
fruit here If the frost does not bother
it for the next ten days. We will
give the markets for the farmers of
Jackson county, so they can see what
we get for our products. Corn SOC.
per bushel, oats 30c., hay S. per ton,
potatoes 25c. per bushel, onions 30c.,
butter 15c. per pound. eggs 1Oc. per
doz., fat hogs Sc. per pound, fat steers
&C., fat cows &c., milch COWS $40 per
head. Young cattle are high. Calves,
or rather yearlings now, SIS to 800
per head. You can buy farms all
under fence with fair Improvements
from Is to 20 dollars per acre. There
is no place in the west where improv-
ed farms are as cheap as in this part
of Iowa. The reason is that we have
had short crops here for the last three
years and some farmers want to leave,
Then we are just in that stage OF
transit that all states have to pass
through. The old settlers want to
go west again, as they were here first
and when the country becomes settled
up they want to get out. [ believe
any one wanting to come west could
not find better place to locate than
in Southern Iowa. This is the great
est grass and stock country [ ever
saw / believe it will beat the famous
"blue grass" Of Kentucky, of which Sc
much has been written. Short horn
cattle, and Norman and Clyde horses
are taking the place of common stock
Politics are waxing warm in our
State. The Republicans are pretty
solid for Jim Blaine for President,
but are willing to work for the man
that is the choice of the Convention
at Chicago. Butler has some few
supporters as "Greenback" nominee.
The Democrats seem to be in the dark
as to who will be the choice Of their
party. The facts are they see there is no
show for them, and they are out OF
spirits, and they can not enthuse over
the prospect. One reason in Iowa is,
their beloved beverage" has come to
grief in this State. After the 4th OF
July Iowa will have statutory prohi-
bition" and when that comes Democ-
racy is dead. We will dig its grave,
and shed no tears over the corpse.
