French Farmers and Salt.

Salt is a commodity next to neces-
sitv for French farmers; yet it is so
heavily taxed, surrounded with so many
irritating conditions, as to limit its en-
plov. You cannot cart barrel of sea
water to your home without permission
of the authorities. You would be sus-
pected of wanting to cheat the revenue
perhaps by manufacturing your own
salt. The tax brings in over 3,000,0OO
francs annually to the exchequer; bet

ficiencv on drink licenses. Mixed with
lime. salt is beneficial for all crops. 1t
is generally applied at the rate OF three
to four hundred wei ghts per acre, and
is most eificacious, according to Bous-
singault. when mixed with two-thirds
of its weight of lime or mari. Salt
exercises a most favorable influence on
the formation of the ear OF wheat, bar

of the grain it-elf In the case OF po-

mated Amidst Great Enthm.

The Democracy of this Congress
sional District met in Grafton on the

thnsiastic Convention. The meeting
was called to order by Col r. W.
Monroe, temporary chairman of the
Congressional Executive Committee,

ination and moved the nomination

nomination and at the close of his
remarks, Mr.. Wilson was nominated
by reclamation amidst much enthu-
siasm. A committee composed of
w. F. Dyer, of Grant, b. f. Martin,

An Ins.It 10 Americas Labor.


The Chicago Republican platform
/, pledges the party 10 Tprotect Il G
rights and wages Of the laborer to the
end that active and intelligent labor
as well as capital, may have It's Just
reward and the laboripg man his full
share in the national PROSPERITY" 1t
pledges the party to give the laborer
this protection against the so called
economical system Of the Democratic
party which would degrade our labor
to the foreign standard"
This is the pledge of the party
whose legislation has always been in
harmony. with the claim of capital
that it has a right to buy labor in
any part of the world where it can be
had cheapest; the party that, on a
certain memorable Fourth of July.
enacted Il law Of Congress creating
all the mechanism required for the
Importation and sale of cheap labor.
The Post has shown in recent ar
ticles that the most degraded Of Eu-
repean laborers have been imported
in large numbers and set to work in
coal mines and coking furnaces in
Pennsylvania, in order to break down
the wages Of American workinomen.
1t has been proven by the highest an-
thority-the word OF reputable gen
tlemen who have visited the mines
and farnaces-that not only men, but
women and children, are employed
at starvation wages to do the work
from which Americans have been
driven. Hungarian women and girls,
half naked, are now working in gangs
with men and mules "A mass OF alb
ject wretchedness ptiful to behold.
This is the way in which ssactive and
intelligent American labor" gets from
the Republican party its boosted pro
tcction-"its full share in the nation
al prosperity
Last Saturday night q train left
Columbus, Ohio, for the purpose Of
still further advancing the bcneficent
policy Of the Republican party to-
wards the labor Of the country. On
that train were $50 laborers imported
from Italy, who were to he put into
one of the mines Of the Columbus
and Hooking Coal and Iron Company
at Longstretll and one of the Ohio
Coal Exchange mines at Jacksonville.
The dispatch which tells of the de-
parture of this train goes on to state
that 'sthe officers of the companies
say they will not employ union men
at all hereafter, but will import la
borers. Accompanying the train were
100 mining police, armed with car
bines and rcvolvers. Work will be
begun at once in the Mines"
The candidates nominated BY the |
Republican party at Chicago are ex-
ponents of the policy that gives this
sort of protection to American labor.
The Republican party appeals to the
workingmen Of the United States to
vote for continuance of this kind
of protection. = JVashington Post.

The Discomfort of Labor.

1t is an easy thing to parade thu
4 figures showing the grand aggregate
of increased wealth, and to tell sht
people that they are prosperous and
therefore, ought to be happy. 1t is
not difficult sophism to attribute to
high taxes such prosperity as has
come in spite of such taxes.
But vast majority of tile voters oil
the United States have only bitter
sneer for that line of alleged argu-
ment, for they know that they have
worked hard, have lived prudently and
have little or nothing te show for
their work.
The men who are said to have been
the chief beneGciaries Of Republican
rule and to have shared most liber-
ally in the benefits Of Republican
taxation are the workingmen. Their
average daily wages are less than
$f.25, take the year through. On
s400 year what sort Of a chance
has man to bring up q family?
What sort of life can he and his wife
and children enjoy? What sort Of
respect can they have for million
aire candidate and his millionaire
supporters who tell them that Re
publican rule has made them pros
porous?
The labor of the country is dis
contented, not because it is vicious.
not because it is incapable of realiz-
ing its blessings, but because it is
denied q fair chance. 1t is true the
country is rich, but most Of the men
who have earned the vast aecumu-
lation Of wealth have had but a mere
pittance, bare subsistence, while
earning it.
The facts which stare the working
men in the face, the hard facts of
their own unhappy lot, give the lie
direct to the professions Of the Re
publican party, that it is the friend
of labor. The benignity of Repub
lican rule is seen in the depressed
condition Of great industries, the
enforced idleness of great masses
Of worlkingmen and the attempt to
put European cheap labor into the
places vacated by Americans when
wages are reduced below living rates.
The effect of Mr.. Baine's display
of statistics is the reverse of what
he intended. He has merely sue
ceeded in showing the impoverished
workers of the country how many
millions of their earnings are in
the hands of the class for whose
benefit the Republican party has
existed. - Qshinqt0n Post.

Secretaries.

The people of Jefferson county are
going to send Col. Dan Lucas to the
Legislature. Now that is what we
would call level headed proposition.
Ii we could have Dan Lucas from
each county of the State in the legis-
iature for even one term, the laws
would not be left in their present con
fiicting tumble. The example OF the
Democracy of Jefferson and the sac
rafice of Col Lucas are worthy of our
imitation and highest commentator.

abilities Of Daniel b. Lucas would
adorn the highest position in the gift
Of the people. -Ners.
