any other purpose, but it is the pol
Icy which should predominant in
every nation to SO conduct its trade
with foreign governments and for
eign trade, so that at any time she
may be independent OF the support
of any other nation. And this is
what we want to enable US to live
within ourselves. We tried free
trade from 1888 to 1889, and what
was the result? 1t resulted so un-
satisfactorily that it led Mr.. Madi-
son to incorporate in the head of his
first tariff bill the words, ITO pro-
tect American industries"
Now my friends, we invite you
to do business safely, securely and
protitably by revision OF the tariff
laws. Where there is a duty levied
which fosters monopoly and takes
from the consumer u greater price
than he ought to be charged for 1t
then alter it and put 1t lower, but
let us not forget our own country
and 80 adjust it that we may be
able to go on upon the great destiny
that God in his infinite wisdom has
intended for us, namely, that we
shall be among the greatest, IL not
the greatest, nation on earth.
Now my friends, an here on no

that in a republic one part of the
people of the United States could be
made subjects of any other, for the
very moment, as was suggested at

restraints made upon these States
that had made war, then and there
this people ceased to be free and the
country to be republic.
Then, my friends, we have at last
come to have an administration of
our party affairs that will wipe ouI
the memories of the past and give
to every State all the rights that
any other State has, and we shall
come to realize that great sentiment

THE Buffalo Times says: "Never
in the history OF the country has
there been such an interest mani
tested in the political changes that
are to occur upon the incoming of
an administration, as now appears.
And there are good reasons there
for. The Republicans have been
in power tweniy-four years, during
which time the country has not
only grown beyond any precedent,
but the offices OF the Government
have been multiplied a hundred
fold, and the eInoluments in the
public service have been correspond
ingly increased. All these places OF
honor and profit have been filed
almost exclusively by Republicans.
1t is not surprising that the party
that has been in the minority Tor a
quarter OF century should feel u
little exulIatiOn, not only at the
prospect OF filling public stations,
but in the honor that comes from
an administration OF Government
affairs"

FAREWELL TO THE OLD YEAR.
Helen Whitney Clark, in Demorest's Mont

ly.
Farewell, Old Year, farewell to You;
You've been for many day
friend most tried, a friend most true
And as we bid you our adieu,
We give our heertfelt thanks to you,
And speed you on your way.
We've had full many q merry time
Since we first met, Old Year.
You've sung for us the Christmas rhyme,
And rung for us the Christmas chime,
And many joy at Christmas time
You brought with hearty cheer.
You crowned the woodland banks with
or roses red and sweet
You gave the violets their perfume,
Ripened the cornfield's tasseled plume,
And filled the mill-wheel's running fiume,
To grind the golden wheat.
You brought the yellow daffodil
To blossom in the spring
Strewed cuckoo-1owers on every hill,
And cat-tails by the ripping rill-
And taught the lonely whip p-poor-will
His vesper song to sing.
You turned the ivy's green to red,
The maple leaves to gold
Purpled the clusters overhead,
And showers of ripened nuts You shed,
When fallen leaves lay thickly spread
Above the forest mold.
And If you gathered some fair flowers
That blOssOmed on your way,
You bore them to a fairer cline,
Where neither cold, nor care, nor Time
Could blight them in their golden prime,
Or touch them with decay.
And ah you brought, Old Year, Old Year
One tiny baby flower
To nestle on its mothers breast,
And close its blue eyes into rest,
When song-birds seek their cradle-nest
At twilight's shadowy hour.
And now, Old Year, farewell to you!
We grieve to lose You So
You've been a friend both tried and true,
And as we bid you our adieu,
We give our heartfelt thanks to you,
And sigh that you must 60.

criticises the policy OF Halstead in

stead is toward the independent

Since we owe the Presidency To the
independency of R.publi :ans in
New York. we should he more tols,-
rant TO independent Democrats in
Tennessee. We want the Republl-
cans who voted for Cleveland driven
out of the Republican party, but
unless the figures lie we don't want
anybody driven out of the Demo
cratic party in Tennessee. We
might afford to drive "A dozen or two
out OF the party, but the trouble
is they might carry some other fel-

ing bound hand and foot to Great
Britain, in which she has been
resting for the period of 600 years.
/ confess that / cannot, with All
even temper, listen with composure
to any such suggestion, and | am
reminded in addition that that
country, in this particular, stands
almost alone of the countries OF Eu-
rope that have communication in
the United States with our trade
relations. Why, Bismarck, one of
the ablest statesmen in Europe, as
soon as he had consolidated the en-
pire began at once to inaugurate the
protection policy for the benefit OF
that empire.
We say to-day that we do not
claim that the constitution gives
the right to levy for the sake OF
protection, but that the revenue
should be so levied as to protect the
American laborer and the Ameri-
can money invested in American
manufactures.
Look at France. France is pro-
lection country save here and there,
spots on her surface. Lyons and
other silk manufacturing sections OF
France, that want free trade. They
want to get their silk into the Uni
ted States. And Bordeaux seeks TO
have her wines brought in here
free, and yet France Is the strictest
country against the protection OF
the United States. And l assert it
here today that, il France did not
insist on what Is known as retalia-
tory legislation on foreign products
coming into that country. the Uni
ted States could profitably export
not less than fifteen millions of
goods i'm value, and to-day you can
not even send cutlery, agricultural
implements or sewing machines to
France, and there are hundreds OF
other articles that are likewise ex-
cluded.
And look at Russia. She has
come to a condition when she wants
the labor of tina. country to be en-
ployed. 1t may be for the safety OF

Now that the people have voted
against the present Railroad Com
mission, we think II prudent for the
Legislature to repeal the law, and
let the matter remain in abeyance
until the litigation now pending in
the courts be finally decided, sud in
the meantime, the people can dis
cuss the matter in all its bearings,
and by the time we elect another
Legislature, more light will have
been thrown on very delicate, but
very important question, and our
Legislators will be better prepared
to frame "A law that will meet gen.
erai approval; one that Will meet
the public demands, and at same
time bejust to the Railroad interest.

Fears OF large visible supply to-

however, are waiting to buy when they
think the bottom has been struck. and
in all probability there will be firm
advance when tho tide once turns. of
course the slackness of the export de-
mand is a great drawback to any ac-
tive and profitable trade at present, but
at their prices such demand should be
greatly stimulated The corn market

store at Patch Grove was robbed OF
about 5000. Mr.. Humphrey left the
store shortly after nine o'clock, went
to his house about thirty yards distant,
and shortly after retired. About two
o'clock Mrs. Humphrey, who was up
with sick child, thought she heard a
noise at the store. She aroused her
husband who got up, went out on the
piazza and listened, but hearing moth
ing, went back to bed. On going to
the store next morning he found that
the front door had been forced open.
Holes had been bored with brace and
bit and wood screw used to force the
lock. The safe, single door Diebold
had been blown open with powder. a
hole having been drilled near the lock.
On the counter near the safe lay a
brace, chisel and screw-driver, taken
from the church which was undergoing
repairs. Sheriff Ora Richards, Deputy
Sheriff James McGonigal and District
Attorney Robert Orr visited the scene
of the robbery on Friday and made a
thorough investigation, the result will

MARRIED The Milwaukee papers
OF Thursday contained the following
marriage notice,

OF Thursday. August 90, 1885. by the Rev. Will
liam Bliss Ashley. Mr.. Theodore Lee Cole OF La
Crosse and Miss Katherine Dunn Dewey, OF Mil
waukee.
Miss Dewey is native of Grant coun-
ty, adaughter of ex-Goy. Nelson Dewey,
and has many friends in this vicinity
with whom she was always a great IA
vorite. She is graduate of the State
University, class of rs. graduating
with high honors, and has subsequently
taught in the Milwaukee high schools.
The bridegroom is also a graduate Of
the State University, and is successful
business man of St. Louis, formerly OF
La Crosse. The happy couple will
spend their honeymoon in California.

ton to the usual marriage notice, says:
Both bride and groom well-known in Mad
ison, where they have many warm friends; the
former graduated from the State University in
1871 and the latter in 1875. The BRIDE who has
been teaching in the Milwaukee high school OF

Go TO Your LOCAL FAIR. = Well-to-
do farmers, who can afford the expense,
make it point to go TO the State Fair,
and exhibit there. This is commendable
provided such farmers do not entirely
ignore the county, or other local fairs.
The local fairs really do more for the
improvement of agriculture than do the
large state fairs. To make them useful, all
the farmers should exhibit at them, and
of their best. The good done at these
fairs, where the majority OF visitors
know one another, through their social
opportunities allowing farmers and
their wives to meet one another, and
talk over matters of mutual interest, is
incalculable. BY all means go to the
local fair, and exhibit the best you
have. If some one takes the premium
you expected-all the better. Find out
why you failed. Make day at the
fair, giving it to learning from what is
exhibited by others, and to teaching by
what you have to exhibit. Be ready to
listen and to talk. BE sure and take the
children.
