legged fact that Chairman Matt Quay's

$1,000, ON account of the arrest in New
York OF n man for attempting to register

The man turns out to be a republican whom
Chairman Quay had probably imported

Shepard, of the New York Mail and En-

And your heart the frost that the leaf receives.
Ere its hues are seen, for your heart is cold !

Robbing the Farmers.

With malace prepense and afore-
thought, every capitalist who goes in
to a trust, a combine or plot to keep
down prices by simply manufacturing
such quantity of goods as the de-
mand may make necessary, is con-
spirator against the agricultural class
es Of the country, and will, sooner or
later have such an ending as most
conspirators generally deserve. Take
for example, the Plow trust. AS soon
as it was perfected the price of plows
went up 100 per cent. This in
crease was mainly brought about by
the Steel Trust, of course, in perfect
harmony with the Plow Trust. The
includes all the great pIow
of the country, and it is
safe to say that plows are at least 100
per cent higher than they would be if
IUc uuLltS vi bUtul anu Tic Slttl UltH-
ufactures who go with them were
Now, who suffers, and suf-
fers alone, this commingling of trusts?
Who, indeed, but the farmer? He
has tc pillow his land, stand the raise,
pay the juggled advance, only made
possible through the war tariff, and
struggle along the best he can under
the additional load. There is no COM
bine to put up the price of wheat and
his corn, his sheep, horses, hogs and
mules. Competition is killed, and
the pillow is worth 81 or $40
he must have it or quit agriculture.
Only so many are manufactured at
home, and none can come in from
abroad, because the war traiff acts as
an absolute prohibition.-Kansas City

An Interesting "Reminiscences.

Now that the war tariff papers are
freighting their columns with commu-
nications from men who pretend to be
frightened at the bugbear of free
trade" and the distress and ruin"
that will follow in the wake of the
adoption of the Mill Tariff Reform
bill, some "reminiscences of the cam
paign of 1880, when the gallant I'm
ion veteran General Hancock was
beaten in the last fortnight before
election by the diligent pulling of the
wires, are in order. The village of
Pittsburgh is situated in the heart Of
the iron mining and manufacturing
interests of Clinton county, and that
town was selected as one of the places
in which the free trade scare" was to
be worked, and grand mass meeting
with torchlight parade of iron miners
and workers was arranged. March

es of Bowen Il Signor, headed by the
senior proprietor, Senator Shepherd

ency on which was embazoned 1--WE

The scheme was well worked and
the result was the election of Gar.
field and Arthur, and all the historic
facts that followed in the memorable
year of 1881. But more immediate
result was that which befel the en-
ployes of Bowen q Signor, who post
ed a reduction of wages inside of two
months from the time the men march
ed behind that deceptive emblazoning
And it is a somewhat singular fact,
too, with the same tariff still in oper-
alton, of all the firms engaged in min
ing and producing iron ores in North
ern New York, that self same firm of
Bowen Il Signor is the only one that
has since become insolvent and bank
rupt, and to-day is dissolved and
stranded above the high water mark
of the "waves of prosperity" waited
to the American shores by war taxes.
