ford to be without eggs"
"Well," returned Molly, Jim and
have thus far managed to have piano,
carpets and eggs as we'll. But why do
you lay such stress on keeping eggs at
hand? One must be without them
occasionally"
Never do it, Molly; an egg is worth
it's weight in gold. 'Sposin' you're

The following interesting tariff talk
il taken from the Sullivan county (O.)
Republican. It states the farmers situa.
tion with respect to the coming con
troversy admirably. The farmer does
not yearn FOR foreign market half
so much as some Of the greedy manu-
facturera seem to.
s'Some Of the beautitudes OF free
trade were illustrated several years
since TO the entire satisfaction Of an
Ohio farmer. It was during the tariff
tinkering policy that preceded the
political revolution OF 1870, when the
people arose in their might and swept
from power the tyros who had been
experimenting upon the prosperity
Of the country until many OF
it's industries had been completely
prostrated. The farmer had been a
very successful corn grower for sew
eral years, and the developing manu-
featuring interests IN that part Of the
country afforded him a market for all
be had to dispose OF. But he became
indoctrinated with the idea that the
giant mouoplies about him were eating
up his substance. and that free trade
was the relief adapted for ease. Well,
that policy prevailed. One prop after
another was knocked from under the
manufacturing industries, and one
after another toppled over. Finally
there was nobody left to buy, but all
who could became producers. The old
farmer had an abundance Of corn, but
no one wanted it. Finally he caught
on to the free trade idea, and shipped
a cargo to a distant market. Two or
three months afterward he received
returns from his corn as follows:
