1t has been our custom for years to call all

1t has been our custom for years to call all
farmers attention to our various brands of
Fertilizers for fall crops. But the first thing
we want to do is to congratulate our farmers,
and with them all citizens, on the excellent
crop of wheat and rye just harvested in our
county. 1t is also source Of great pleasure
for us to know that the various brands of
Fertilizer sold by us last fall in competition
with so many others has in every case equaled
our competitors, and in very many cases far
excelled them, both in the yield of wheat and
rye and in its maturing.
One of our customers, to whom we sold four
tons last fall, can't praise it enough. He has
just left his order for nine tons for this fall
Another party, who used but half ton of our
Fertilizer last fall, and several tons of other
goods, intends to increase his acreage in wheat
this fall, and will use all of our goods.
Another farmer, whom we induced to try
some of our Cheap Fertilizer-our $50 goods
used it by the side of fertilizer he bought
of an agent, and for which he paid forty per
cent. more for than he paid us. Ours gave
him equally as good results.
The reports we have from the clover where
our Fertilizer was used is satisfactory.
We have many other reasons and facts why
we think it would pay the farmers to get their
Fertilizer from us this fall, and will present
them in later advertisements, and request
everybody to look out for them and read them.
Very respectfully,

Free raw material is the demand of Presi-
dent Cleveland, and for which he is now re-
ceiving the excoriation of the Republican press
and rostrum. Before going too far it would
be well for them to examine the recommen-
dations of some of their own Presidents, as
they might be condemning Republican Presi-
dents as well as Democratic. What could be
stronger than that of Gen. Grant, when he
says the duty on raw materials acts las a
protection to foreign manufacturers in our
own and distant markets." and would not
their abolition fulfill President Cleveland S
words, when he says, sit would appear to
give them (our) better chance in foreign
markets with the manufacturers of other
countries, who cheaper their wares with free
material" The great stress of the opposition
is upon free wool, as provided in the Mills
bill, and would it not be well for them to see
what it is that President Arthur says in regard
to it, and all other raw materials. Compare
the two Republicans with the one Democrat.

Inc taxation ofluxuries
presents no features of
hardship: but the neces-
saries oflife used and con-
sumed by all the peo-
pie, the duty upon which
adds to the cost of living
in every house, should be
greatly cheapened. The
radical reduction of the
duties imposed upon raw
materials used in manu-
features, or its free impor-
lation, is of course an i'm
portant factor in any eff
fort to reduce the price of
these necessaries. II would
not only relieve them OF
the increased cost caused
by the tariff on such ma
terials, but the manufac-
tured product being thus
cheapened, that part of the
tariff now laid upon such
product as u compensa-
ton to our manufactur-
ers for the present price of
raw material, could be ac-
cordingly modified. Such
reduction or free impor-
tation would serve beside
to largely reduce the re-
venue. 1t is not apparent
how such q change can
have any injurious effect
upon our manufacturers.
On the contrary, it would
appear to give them a
better chance in foreign
markets with the manu-
facturers of other coun-
tries, who cheaper their
wares by free material.

Free Raw Material.

President Grant, in 1875, and President
Arthur, in 1882, and again in 1884, in their
annual messages to Congress, concur with Mr..
Cleveland in his message of 1887, in favoring
free raw material, as highly advantageous to
the country and to our manufacturing inter-
ests. But the Republicans are now opposing
Mr.. Cleveland for doing what Gen. Grant and
President Arthur did years ago. If General
Grant and Mr.. Arthur were right, in 1875,
and in 1882 and 1884, how can President
Cleveland be wrong in making to Congress
similar recommendations in 1887? Read the
subjoined extracts from their messages, pub

threw it at her. Then followed q struggle,
during which he again struck her, after
she had scratched him terribly. He avows
he did not assault her. He says he is but

GRIM HUMOR.
A Fireman Mistakes q Train Rob-
ber for Q Friend


PIKE BLurE, ARK, Feb. 29.--The train
robber has again appeared In Arkansas,
this time on the 1t Louis, Arkansas and
Texas railroad, about twenty miles below
this city. As train No. Q, north-bound,
stopped at Kingsland, about one o'clock
this morning, three men stepped on
the platform Of the baggage-car, next
to the engine. About mile from
Kingsland the train suddenly came to
stand-still, and Conductor J. B. Browning
stepped to the door to see what was
wrong. As he opened the door q bullet
whistled by his head, and he at once re-
tired inside of the car, where he re.
manned during the trouble. The rob-
bers went TO work in a cool and systematic
way. They boarded the engine and COM
manded the engineer, Bob Rue, and fire.
man, Ed Hacknett, to hold up their hands.
Hacknett was just in the act Of putting
a shovel of coal in tina fire-box, and, sup
posing it was one Of the trainmen trying
to perpetrate joke, held up his shovel,
exclaiming, "Ah there!' The robber, with
grim humor. dropped the muzzle of six.
shooter against the fireman's cheek, with
the words: ''Stay there, you." The fire.
man quickly climbed down from the box.
Taking the fireman and engineer with
them, the robbers ordered them to call on
the messenger to open the car.
They did as ordered, but he refused to
show up. Then began a fusillade which
lasted while attempts were being made to
force q way into tho car. The fireman
was ordered to take the slash-bar from
the engine and break in the door Of the
car. He obeyed, but as he could not
get in after ten minutes delay, the rob
bers proceeded to set the car on fire.
This forced the messenger to open the
door, and the engineer and fireman were
made to get into the car first, their bod
les thus protecting the robbers as they
climbed in. The messenger opened the
safe without further trouble, and the con.
tents were quickly transferred 10 sack.
The exact amount taken is not known,
though it is thought to be large. The mail
car and passengers were not molested.
The engineer and fireman of this train
were in charge Of the train robbed at
Genoa, Ark, few weeks ago. The mes
senger received note at Texarkana warn.
ing him to watch out, but he paid no at
tention to 1t, believing 1t to be joke. The
robbers were just thirty-fve minutes do
ing the work. Late reports state that be-
tween 1000 and SO, GOO were taken. Some
place the loss much higher. TIE sheriff
and posse are in pursuit Of the robbers.

CoLuMBus, O., March 1.-United States
Inspector Howard Perry 10 anxious to have
ell the United States prisoners transferred
from Kentucky, Texas, Louisiana, Ten
uessee and Mississippi TO the Ohio peniten-
tiary, so highly pleased was he on inspec-
tion with the management Of that
institution. The matter Is to be brought
to the attention Of the board. War
den Coffin has received letter from the
United States Attorney General, A. h.
Garland, stating that United States pris.
oners can, In his opinion, be employed on
piece price work. In reply to special In
quiry about tho case Of one prisoner
sentenced "without hard labor" the opin-
ion was that he could be employed at
work, not the hard labor of the prisoner.
There are about forty United States prls-
oners in the penitentiary.
