Farm products are as low down as
they can get, bat times would not be
hard If the purchasing power of the
dollar We're doubled. The tariff keeps
the pr!ce OF clothes, coal. iron, sugar
anu other necessities up TO the high
est point no matter how low farm
products become. Over production
Sluts a market and lowers prices and
the farmer has no remedy against it.
tie republican tariff keeps out foreign
goods; home manufacturers provide
against Cutting the markets by shut
ting down and stopping work at their
own pleasure. What the farmer sells
goes down; what the manufacturer
sells never does and the tariff thus en-
ao!es the latter to play with the former
a heads Twin ;-tsils-you, lose game.
This causes hard times in agricultural
sections, Vote TO better them by vot-
ing for Compton who believes and
votes that the tariff should be revised
and the farmer be enabled to buy
what ne needs rs cheap as possible.

At recent meeting of the Deer
Greek Farmers Clue. of Hartford coun-
ty, Mr.. Dean, a WOODEN manufacturer
of Newark, Del, make the following
remarks as to how the existing high
tariff affects the farming interests OF
the country:
Mr.. Dean said that as a wooden
manufacturer his interests would not,
probably, be in a line with those of
the farmer, but as a patriotic Ameri-
can citizen be wished 10 see laws en-
acted that would secure the greatest
benefit to the greatest number OF our
people.
We raise a surplus Of agricultural
products, which finds a market in
foreign countries, and the price is reg
ulated there.
We export our surplus of 100000
600 bushels Of wheat, which comes
into competition with wheat from
India, raised AZ cost OF 10 cents a
bushel. The price abroad for our
surplus products regulates the price
OF the entire crop.
The American wheat grower, said
Mr.. Dean, ought to be able to buy
supplies for his family where he sells
his wheat. He showed that by the
present h'5h tariff cloth costing 80
cents a yard in Leeds. England, would
cost 81 p to import, the duty amount
ing to "a cents per yard.
We are dependent upon a foreign
market to get sale for our surplus
grain, beef, pork, 81. II it were not
for this foreign outlet beef might be
two cents per pound.
The tariff should be so regulated as
to protect and benefit the masses, not
the few. Manufacturers, by reason Of
their large profits, can paw higher
wages than can be pain by farmers.
and they therefore drain from farmers
the best labor and leave them the re-
fuse. Then protection compels the
farmer to pay more than he ought to

Says the protectionist, the tariff
has built up home market for the
farmer where he can sell his beef,
corn, pork and wheat instead of send
in it over the ocean and paying freight
on it" Just so. The farmer has been
hiring manufacturers to eat his produce
for him paying them high wages and
the more he has paved. the less he has
got for what he had TO sell. Such a
market is worse than useless.

Washington 3 pompous ways were &C.
verely criticised at this time, His gor
geous, cream-oolored coach with It's six
borses was talked Of, and they said that
it was ridiculous for one who posed as
the great champion Of American liberty
to keep men in livery and 10 own 500
slaves. There was probably some truth
IN this charge, Washington was great
swell, and be liked to strut about and
have his fellow-rnGn toadying him. He
believed in high honors being paid to the
president Of the United States, and his
receptions as president were Of the stiff
est kind. He dressed in the richest Of
clothes, wore silk, satin end lots Of gold
lace, and doubt not he was little
proud Of his figure, which was tall and
well formed, with the exception Of the
chest, which was sunken.
Washington had probably as fine an
establishment in America as any man In
the country at the time he lived. He
kept the finest Of horses In his stables,
and had an army Of Hyeried servants.
AT Mount Vernon he had 100 COWS, and
he entertained Ike an English lord He
always had wine on his table, and he
drank several glasses at every dinner.
His wife was addressed az Lady Wash
ington in those days, and his friends gave
him the title IN private life Of ''your ex-
ceIlency.n have seen manuscript pri-
vate letters to Mrs. Washington, and
doubt not that during the first adnliuis-
trati0n Of our government she was toad
led like d queen. She and Che president
had their coat-of-arns, and George
Washington had buttons made, at least
there are such buttons in existence, with
his initials on them The Washington
family had the finest Of china. They
liked good furniture, and even now at
Mount Vernon one might keep NIL an es-
