A STORY that Cleveland once kissed a
colored girl is causing a rumpus in North
Carolina. Even it were true, it is not
the proper thing for Southern statesman
to get 'huffy" about it. Abundance of
evidence exists that it was very com

This table is a complete answer to Il

assertions made so frequently by the
free traders that the farmer is not pro
tected by the tariff. As matter of fact
the farmer is quite as carefully cOnsid-
cred as the manufacturers and the work
workingmen. The Mills bill attacks
some of the most important agricultural
interests of the country, and interests
that flourish in all sections.

The grangerS are hard at work get
ting ready to SOW wheat. The plant
ing will probably commence this week.
The corn crop is in a very critical con-
dition, and unless the weather soon
warns up there will be large amount
of soft corn to harvest.
The potato crop is being harvested,
and it will be less than an average crop;
the dry weather caused them to mature
before they attained their growth.
The many friends of Mr.. Richard
Roberts, of Emerson, will regret to learn
that he was kicked Just below the heart
by horse, last week, and it is thought
his injuries will prove fatal.
We boarded the st. CIairSville and
Northern train at Barton last Thursday
for the West Virginia Exposition. The
train consisted of an engine and passen-
ger coach and baggage car combined.
The coach was full when it arrived at the
station, but they managed to pack in
about fifty more; they were packed in
upright with scarcely breathing room.
All along the rout from Barton to
Bridgeport many would-be passengers
hearts were made glad at the sound of
the train, but they were filled with in
dignatiOn when she passed on and left
them to wait for the next one. This was
.bad management on the part of the
Cleveland, Lorain and Wheeling. in not
providing coaches to transfer her own
passengers.
As Misses Sallie Mcmillan and Mat
tie Lamb were returning home from
Barton Station last Wednesday, they
narrowly escaped death, by their horse
taking fright at Mr.. John Lemons we'll

was turned upside down, and the girls
got caught under the cover, and were
dragged a considerable distance, but es-
capped with few bruises. The horse freed
itself by kicking the harness off and
running home.
The many friends of the Kidd Bros.
will be glad to learn that they expect
to resume business in a few weeks at
the mines at Kidd Station.

VESTIBULED TRAINS.

Gen. Horace Porter, in Scribner for Sept.
This invention, which was patented
in 1887, succeeded not only in supplying
the means of constructing a perfectly
enclosed vestibule of handsome archi
tectural appearance between the cars,
but it accomplished what is still more
important, the introduction of a safety
appliance more valuable than any vet
devised for the protection to human life
in case of collisions. The elastic dia-
phragmS which are attached to the ends
of the cars have steel frames, the faces
or bearing surfaces of which are pressed
firmly against each other by powerful
spiral springs which create a friction
upon the faces of the frames, hold them
firmly in position, prevent the oscilla-
tion of the cars, and furnish buffer
extending from the platform to the roof
which precludes the possibility of one
platform riding the other and produc-
ing telescoping in case of collision. The
first of the vestibuled trains went into
service on the Pennsylvania Railroad in
June, 1886, and they are rapidly being
adopted by railway companies. The
veStibuled limited trains contain sever
al sleeping cars, dining car, and car
fitted up with a smoking saloon, libra
~ with books, desks and writing mate
rials, a bathroom and barber shop.
With free circulation of air through
out the train, the cars opening into each
other, the electric light, the many other
increased comforts and conveniences in
troduced, the steam-heating apparatus
avoiding the necessity of using fires, the
fast speed, and absence of stops at meal
stations, make this train the acme of
safe and luxurious travel. An ordinary
passenger travels in as princely style
in these ears as any crowned head in
Europe in royal special train.

COUNTRY COUSIN.

IN attacking the tariff the free trade
organs always lay great stress upon the
ad valorem percentage of the duty.
They naturally prefer this mode Of argu-
ment, for the greater the effect of pro
lection in cheapening the cost of pro-
ductiOn the higher the percentage be-
comes. Steel rails were $40 ton when
the protective duty was established.
This year the price was as low as $3l so
a ton. The duty of $17 a ton is only II
per cent. of the former price, but with
the reduction of price the percentage
has risen to 81 per cent. Now if steel
rails should drop to so ton and the
United States should undersell the
world, the percentage would in that case
be 10 per cent, which, according to the
free trade argument, would represent an
enormous burden ON the consumer,
while as matter of fact the duty would
then have no effect of any kind. The
way in which the free traders constant
Iy avoid and ignore the facts show their
destitution of real argument.-PittS.

THE FARMERS AND THE Tariff

THE FARMERS AND THE TARIFF.
1t is often asserted by "revenue re-
formers, that the farmers are taxed by
a protective tariff for the sole benefit OF
the manufacturers, while they them
selves have no protection at all. The
farmers as well as the factory operative
and the miner is a beneficiary of the pro
tective system. This false statement
about the farmer has been so often made
by the Democrats that it is time to cOun-
teract it with facts. Let us see in what
respects the farmer is protected. His
stock is protected by a duty of 20 per
cent. His barley is protected 10 cents
a bushel, and his bran and millfeed by
a duty of 20 per cent. The following
table shows what other protection he re-

Now York's Vote.

! The political excitement in New York
will steadily increase from now until cleo
ton day. The democrats feel certain of
| carrying the state and the republicans have
hopes Of carrying it.
| The registration in New York city is re-
markedly large. In 1884 it was 240, S07.
This year it is 2S6, 81, an increase of 45, 40
In 1884 there were over 1900 registered
who did not vote. TIE reasons they did
not were various, but all Of them do not
| exist this year. 1t is expected, therefore,
that the voting this year will be much
| closer to the registration than it was in
1884 Those who have the best opportuni-
ties for knowing say that there will be at
least 5000 more votes cast in New York
city this year than in 1884.
This great increase in the vote makes it
difficult to estimate Mr. Cleveiand's ma
lorlty with any degree of certainty. 1t is
known that wit in the last four years 10, 600
Tersons have been naturalized, and as the
sentiment in the city is overwhelmingly
democratic, it is believed by democrats that
Mr.. Cleveland will get at least two-thirds
of the $4,000 new voters. Ii lie does, and
the vote is a full one, his majority in the
city will not be far from GO 900. In 1884 1t
was AZ, 600
The chances are. however. that Mr..
Cleveland will have larger republican
majority outside of the city to overcome
than he had in 1884 The stalwart ard
half-breed factions have made peace, and
both will vote for Gen. Harrison. A good
many mugwumps have gone back to the
Republican party, and there are not few
democrats who will vote against MIR. Cleve-
and because they failed to get an Office
from him. But there are exc Heat reasons
fer thinking that Mr.. Clevelands majority
in New York city will be sufficient to over
come the republican majority outside of
it, and leave him from 10, 900 to &c, 600 votes
to spare.

Mr.. QuaY's Schem as.

Mr.. Quay, tho chief republican boss, is
making reputation as a schemer. He is
given the credit for the Murchison- W est
scheme, and it is said that he now has two
other great schemes ready for use. One of
them is to make very large number of ar
rests in New York city on the day of cleo
ton for false registration, and thus scare
thousands of the more timid of the demo-
cratic voters away from the polls The
other is to publish within the next day or
two copies of resolutions alleged to have
been adopted by the Golden club of Eng
land, commencing MIR. Cleveland's tariff
Vows
The President himself called attention to
this latter scheme in an interview with a
correspondent of the New York World.
He said: II have received an intimation
that another campaign trick is being pre-
pared with the intention of springing it on
the voters of the country at the eve of the
election. While | do not give much Gre
dence to the runor yet it would be as we'll
to head it off in advance. have been in
formed | shall receive series of engrossed
resolutions or some other ackno wledgment
of the sort, purporting to come from some
English club of the Golden order. THIS
testimonial is to come in the nature of a
compliment to the administration for its
course upon the tariff question:
Boss Quay has plenty of money with
which to carry out his schemes. If they
do not succeed better than the Murchison
letter, however, they won't bring the re-
publican ticket many votes.

The player went back to the table with the

box.

The player put large sum on the red and

Next time the snuff box came out the old

The New York Tribune says the demo-
Gratis are planning to have Chairman Matt
Quay arrested for violation of the election
laws, and it calls the promised sensation a
contemplate democratic trick 1t is not
known whether or not the democrats will
take such course, and the Tt'ibu,,e's asser-
tion that they will does not by any means
settle the matter; but one thing is certain,
and that is this; If Chairman Matt Quay,
who is not too good to perpetrate fraud to
help the republican prospects, should at
tempt to introduce his peculiar election
practices in New York, he will not deserve
any more consideration at the hands of the
courts than the humblest citizen.
