The Unprotected Farmers.

The farmers compose by far the largest
and most influential class of people in the
Union. While their products vary ac-
c0rding to the section in which they re-
side, their interests are almost identical.
Very many farmers appear to appreciate
the fact that they can never prosper as they
should without the Inauguration Of freer
trade. Probably the Northern wool grow
ers are the only considerable subdivision
Of the farming community that is In any
respect benefited by a high protective
tariff. and 1t is believed that they pay
double for the benefits they are supposed
to receive in the increased price of
articles consumed by them.
The farmers who have vague idea that
they receive better prices for their pro-
ducts on account of the protection that is
afforded manufacturing industries are be-
ginning to have their eyes opened to the
fact that they are paying very dearly for
the protection whistle. They are finding
out that what they need is the removal of
undue restrictions on commerce.
Owing TO the great productive capacity
OF the country, as regards agriculture
protective unions among farmers have
proven 10 be failures. Competition is a
thing that they are compelled to face
Protection has a tendency to advance the
prices Of what they need for consumption.
and, by restricting trade, to depress the
prices Of what they produce. The farmer
that cannot sec this has his eyes blinded
or his judgment obscured, so that he can
not perceive his true interests.
His way to the markets of the world
being blocked up by unwise restrictions.
he is placed Mt the mercy, TO some extent
OF spectators. The prices Of farm pro
duets are no longer entirely regulated By
the law OF supply and demand. but largely
by spectators; and somehow or other the
spectators generally manage TO keeT
/ down the prices until the produce passes
ont Of the control OF the producers. The
| spectators manage TO get a good deal OF
what belongs 10 the farmers. Unfortun
ately only a few Of the farmers can afford
! 10 choose their own time for selling their
crops.

The Sara Sofa Assassination Society.
The Sara Sofa assassins have been
tried, and four Of them found guilty. Our
dispatches yesterday announced the con-
viction OF three Of them at Pine Level.
The other one was convicted several
weeks ago. The one that was first con-
Yicted was charged with the murder of
man named Able, the Postmaster at Sara
Sofa. The three who were convicted last
week were charged with the murder OF
Harrison T. Riley, in May, 1884
The whole country was startled when
the story was published, several months
ago, that there was an organized band of
assasslns in Manatee county, Fla, and
that they had lodge room, were bound
by Oaths, and had a regular system Of
signs and pass words. Indeed, there were
many who We're inclined to think that the
story had no foundation. There was
little room for doubt, however, when the
books of the organization were discovered,
and members of the band were scared into
coniessing that other persons besides
those who had been killed were marked
for assassination.
The citizens went to work vigorously to
arrest the leaders of the organization and
they succeeded, it is believed, in arrest
ing nearly all of them. The State officers
took hold of the matter with a determine
ton to secure the punishment of the guilty
| parties, and they succeeded better even
than they had reason to expect. They got
evidence without much trouble that made
it impossible for the guilty parties to es-
cape.
IL seems strange that the idea of organ
izing an assassination society in a civil
lized community should have suggested
itself to anyone, and stranger still that
the society should have existed as long
as it did without being discovered.
The convicted assassIns will doubtless
be made 20 pay the penalty of their crimes
on the gallows. The citizens Of Manatee
county, who have shown so much earnest
ness in bringing them to justice, can be
depended upon to see that no avenue Of
escape is left open to them.

A White Mountain story Ketold

From the Salem Hasa Gdsette.
Forty-one years ago John smith was the

main chance, On his downturn one time
Boston gentleman took seat by Johns side,
and being Of an inqulsitlye turn Of mind. he
asked numerous questions concerning differ-
ent mountains and views, till at length Johns
patience was exhausted, and 10 answer to
one question he tartly said: "Stranger,

Afraid of a GirI's Gratitude.

From a washington Letter.
Senator Beck, accompanied by beautiful
young lady, called upon Mr.. Aleck Boteler, of
West Virginia, Pardon Clerk in the Depart
ment of Justice, day or two ago, to urge the
pardon Of the brother of the young lazy re
ferred to, who had been convicted Of the in
fraction Of one of the United States statutes.
Mr.. BOteler did all it was possible for him
to do in the matter, and gave a printed form
Of recommendation for pardon to the Senator
to take to the Attorney General for his
signature, if he would approve il.
The lady remained in Mr.. Boteers room.
In short time the Senator returned and
handed the paper back to Mr.. Boteler The
latter hesitated about opening it., lest the lady
might faint if the pardon were denied, and
might do the same if it were recommended.
But, finally opening 1t, he saw the recon-
mendatiOn had been made. Just as he cx-
pected, the lady swoOned, but, recovering
herself in nome Mt, she arose and. opening
her arms, advanced toward him He backed
behind his desk and, pointing to Mr. Beck,
SAID: Him, him!" But when she turned to
Mr.. Beck he retreated toward the door, and
pointing to Mr.. Boteler. repeated the latter's
words. saying, "Him, him" The lady by
that time had regained her self possession
entirely, and, advancing toward neither, eN-
pressed her thanks to both,

Edward AtLinson's speculations.

Edward Atkinson's SpeculatiOns.
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, of Boston, who
is one of the best known men IN the coun-
try, and who gives great deal Of his time
TO the study of questions bearing upon the
labor problem, says that the present hard
times are pinching the rich rather than
the poor He SAYS that three-f0urths Of
the wage-earners Of the country are now
employed at higher rates Of wages than
they ever before received; that three-ffths
of the remainder are employed at wages
only about 20 per cent. less than the high
est wages they have ever earned, and that
the most of the others are getting AS much
as they ever got. The number out Of en-
ploYment, in comparison to the whole
number, is very small, aud belong to only
two or three depressed branches Of trade.
Various things, he says, have combined
10 nuke capital less profitable, and the
capitalists are the ones who are crying
out about hard times. For instance, rail
road shares in almost all the railroads IN
the country have shrunk in value i'm
mensely, and the shares OF very many
railroad properties have ceased TO pay divi-
dends, or pay only a very small dividend.
Manufacturers Of nearly all kinds Of
Manufactured goods are getting for their
products prices that barely meet their
cost. Cotton and wollen goods are now
cheaper than they have been in years.
The low prices, Of course, benefit the poor
and reduce the incomes of the rich.
Mr.. Atkinson insists that capital is ad-
iustlng itself to new conditions, and that
the time is not very distant, probably,
when the adjustment will be so near COM
pletiou that the cry of hard times will be
heard less frequently. He then looks for
season Of unexampled prosperity, when
capital will have less to complain Of and
labor will be more content with its share
of the profits.

Imagine the Feeling. Of NO. 2

TT0fH HdTDeT78 Tor AU1ust.
And now comes a preacher who gives us
some specimens OF recent eloQuence. The
readers of the Drawer Will remember that
the late Bishop Gilbert Haven was reported as
pected to rest in heaven for thousand wears
with his head lying in the lap of his dear wife
Mary" This poetic fancy made ITS i'm
preston on the mind of a worthy minister
who had recently married second wife. Be
ing called to preach a funeral sermon. his
new but second wife being present, he gave
his ideas OF the rest and bliss OF heaven, and
warming up with his theme he exclaimed: Il
expect, in the language Of the lamented
Bishop Haven, to spend my first thousand
years IN heaven with my head on the lap If
1ap f1st rite" What occurred when the
funeral was over and the parsonage doors
closed has not been revealed.
