LEONIDAs, Mich. To tie Chtcdyo Times
As read the letters published In your
columns written by farmers, farm hands
and ex.farmers, | came TO he conclusion
that there were some coed ideas ad-
vanced, and that there Is room fer great
many more. SO | concluded | would pre-

me about this protective theory. | was a
republican until about five years ago.
What changed my mind then was this: |
got hold OF some tariff schedules and the
thought occurred TO me, who pays the tar.
i'll if the consumer does not, and who Is
the consumer more than the farmer and
all farm labOrers? Now | want TO ask a
protectionist few questions: Does the
farmer look to him for high prices on his
produce and all kind Of meats, or does he
watch the foreign market and base his
calculations ON the price abroad, and espe-
cially on wheat and wool? When sales
run high in Liverpool on wool and wheat,
etc, they stimulate prices here and not the
home manufacturers. Now, If this Is true,
appeal to every fair minded citizen, and
especially to my brother farmers, If We do
not have 10 compete with oil nations under
the sun for market for our products. We
have the privilege of selling where We
can get buyer, but not so when we go to
buy. We have to do one of two things.
We have to pay the legitimate price, plus
the tariff, 70 some aristocratic monopoly, or
pay the foreign price of goods and an sv-
erage duty OF A. per cent for the privilege
Of buying where We can buy the cheapest.
Take my native state and go TO the iron
and copper mines and see who does the
work there. You will find it performed
entirely by foreigners. Now this signifies
something, and shows that the proprietors
can hire foreigners 50 much cheaper than

It is matter of familiar observation
with regard to the phenomena which de-
termine the times of harvesting grain
crops that the standing crop ceases to
grow soon after the ears have fairly
formed. II is evident enough that from
this time forward the grain ripens at the
expense of the leaves or stalks. Hence
the common custom of farmers to cut
grain before fully ripe and leave it to
ripen in sheaves and stocks in order to
avoid loss by shaking
After the heads have fairly formed it is
little matter whether the plants remain
connected by their roots or not. In either
event it can be seen that the stalks
gradually dry up and change to straw
from below upwards

His case was brought before the City court yesterday morning. Judge Pickett said: In cases of this kind. for the first offense, the court has allowed the parents to pay the costs and suspended judgment; but, William, you have already been convicted of this violation of the law, and the penalty should not be a light one. Newspaper stealing is nuisance which must be stopped. will continue this case until to>morrow, when you will be tried on reform school complaint. You are only ten years old and have been arrested twice, That looks bad for the future.
 Detective Neebe stationed himself behind the door of the Commercial house at about an hour the thief appeared and took the pa- per from under the door. Neebe waited second or two and then. accosted the thief, who dropped the paper and ran. Orders were given to Officer Greenbaum and he with Neebe, after vigorous search, came upon Rimmler, who had hid behind some old boxes in the corner. Rimmler's practice was to steal tue papers and sell them. Bad boys take warning.

L.rre Attendance At the HI artford
 Races-The Grand Stand Audience
 Pool Sellfng-GOasips Jr., Wins she
 Pacing Raee-The Postponed Race.
 The pleasant autumn weather was much appreciated by the large audience at the Hartford races yesterday. Among the five thousand people present were, as usual, large numbers of betting men, who were un- der the large awning at the pool stands. The pool selling has been very heavy during the
 meeting. Mir. Morse, one of the auctioneers,
 stated yesterday that the pool selling had
 been better at the present meeting than at any other meeting at the park during the last ten years. He estimated that the total amount of pools sold during the four days would be $200, 900. which shows that betting is not declining.
 The section of seats in the grand stand, which was reserved for stockholders and their families, was occupied yesterday by a select audience that represented wealth, beauty and fashion. Many pretty and we'll dressed ladies were close observers of the races yesterday.
 The special attractions that have been provided during the meeting have added to
 the varity of the.sport.
 The fine saddle horse Boston was much ad- mired for his graceful performance yester- day. The fast trotter Guy made an attempt to lower his record, which was not accom- piished. He trotted a mile in 2:15L, which was creditable performance. Mr. Fred Ayers of Mt. Eden stock farm at Morrisanna, N. Y., is the owner of b 'sIdol Gift" who trotted an exhibition mile yester- day in 2:29k.
 What has been particularly notable at the races is the absence of expert pickpockets. The Hartford meetings are seldom as free from crooks as this year.
 The first heat trotted yesterday was the
 second heat of the 2:20 pacers.~ AS there were eleven starters, all of whom came out fresh and in high condition, 8 long time was
 required to start the field. After trying for forty minutes the judges said "Go," and the party went around the circle to the -wire,
 where the pool favorite, Roy Wilkes, won, dropping his record.
 The third heat was similar to the first. The fourth heat decided the race and gave
 first money Gs2, 400 to Roy Wilkes, second
 money ($1 ,20O to Emma, third money ($720
 to Elmonarch, fourth money ($4S0) to Lady Wilkin. Harry z was distanoed in the first
 heat.
