Is Cider Dangerous
MRS. @. II. HEWITT.

A few years ago, John B. Finch, the
great temperance orator, lectured in town.
The season of the year and the reputation
of little Orlaus for fruit and the manufac-
ness on that subject, and so graphically did
he portray the whole business, from the
hasty gathering of cider apples, till it spark
led in the glass, that do not believe
could be induced to swallow a drop, Just OF
the ground of its uncleanness, if for no 9TH
er reason. Not the most careless house
mary purpose without carefully wiping, and
with clean hands removing peeling and core,
and any affected portion, discarding, it may
be, whole sections, if an unfortunate tenant
be found imprisoned, and yet all this and
far more, for it is only imperfect fruit that
i. left for the cider press, decayed portions,
the filth uhavoIdably clInging to the outside
decayed foliage, all this is crushed and the
juice EXPIRE ssed for the delightful beverage
of sweet cider. Though it contain not
enough alcohol to condemn il, surely its
very composition would. Where is the con-
sistencyl What would induce US to par
take of any other beverage prepared with
so much uncleanness. | repeat, the vivid
picture has never been effaced from my
mind, and if the repetition shall affect any
one here similarly, who has never before
placed it in this light, it will not be IN vain.
A dear friendship was well nigh wrecked,
by a friend offering cider to my boy,
whose lips had never before tasted it, and
who l had hoped might say the same all his
days, whether his years be few or many.
Time has effaced the ey ent even from his
memory and he stands at eight years Of age
educated strong temperance boy, bound
to make temperance man, and l freely
state, let no one who values my regard or
respect offer sweet cider to me or mine. So
far have treated the question only Oh the
ground of uncleanness.

Another Fraudulent Divorce.

Prothonotary Kelly has received another
letter inquiring into divorce that purports
to have been granted by the Supreme Court
OF Mapleton, Huntingdon county, Pa, on the
goth of February, 1885. The lett. r is from
a lawyer in Gallatin, Mo, and the parties
who it is alleged were divorced are Peter
Dowell and America Dowell. The certifi-
cate of divorce is signed by Judge A. Bates
and W. W. Hicks, clerk. There is no such
court, as everybody knows, and the whole
business is one of the boldest frauds ever
perpetrated. II is believed that these di-
vorces are granted by irresponsible lawyers

Horr and Victory.

With two such candidates in nom-
ipation as Hon. Roswell G. Horr and
Bogus Butter Tarsney there should
not be moments hesitation on the
part of intelligent, we'll meaning
voters as to whom they should sup.
port. Tarsney represents all that is
insncere and dishonest in politics,
all that is destructive to every busi-
ness and labor interest-while Mr.
Horr is man of positive conviction,
great ability and the unhinching ad-
yocate of the interests of the pro-
ducer and the wage worker.
Tarsney was nominated because it
was expected he could command the
floating vote by corrupt means. Mr..
Horr was nominated because he was
the conservative exponent of Repub-
lican principles, and man Of the
highest moral character, as well as
known friend Of the soldiers and
working classes. Bogus Butter Tars-
ney was nominated against the wish
of the best men of his own party who
knew he was mentally and morally
unfit to Ee Representative in Con-
gress> Mr.. Horr was selected be-
cause he is every way fit man to
represent one of the most intelligent
and important districts IN the coun-
try-one whose business and labor
interests are second to no other,
For these reasons, among hundreds Of
others, Mr.. IIorr ought, can and will
be elected by the people of the Sth
congressional district.

He who votes for Mr.. T. Z. Tars-
ney for Congress does what he can
to have the influence of this district
used TO bring about the abandonment
of the protective policy--the policy
of so adjusting the duties on imports
that while the government derives
from them sufficient revenue, the
wages of mechanics and laborers are
not reduced so low as they would be
by free competition with foreign pro.
duecrs, and our farmers are given a
home market for their produce, which
they would not have if this country
were made, as the free traders would
make it, simply the granary Of Europe
What chance would the farmers of
Michigan, the farmers of this Eighth
district have, if there were no manu-
featuring cities, no manufacturing
towns to buy their produce, which is
most profitable in market close at
hand. The tariff has stimulated the
growth of manufactures and has pro-
tected the farmer also, where prctec-
tion would be of advantage to him.
The growth of manufactures has given
to the farmers in manufacturing states
home market for their crops. Does
anyone believe that the produce
raised by the farmers of the Saginaw
Valley would be worth nearly SO
much if it did not have the fourishirg
manufacturing cities which now form
the center Of one of the most pros
porous sections of the State. Con-
gress could kill or cripple the indus
tries of this Valley by enacting tariff
for revenue only, could arrest the
progress of these growing cities, and
stop many Of their industries. Mr.
Tarsney probably does not think this
would be the effect of bis doctrines if
put in practice. But, though there
may be room for difference of opinion
on that point, it is serious thing to
tamper with the industries of great
country. The country has, under the
present tariff, attained an unexampled
prosperity not because of it, but in
spite Of it, say the free traders, but
at least the country has hourished,
has grown in population and wealth,
more rapidly than ever before. Now,
however plausible the free traders
arguments may be, is it pruden, to
abandon a policy under which these
results have been attained? We might
possibly do better, but no other ma
ton on the face of the earth has ever
done so well. Is it wise 10 give up
this certainty for possibility of i'm
provement, on the assurance Of free
trade theorists that our system is all
wrong, that its tendencies are toward
poverty and disaster and would cause
those results, il they we're not coun-
teracted by other Influences
