Two solh business men, fair representative types
of the East and the West, were brought together III INC
corridor Of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and immeuia'S
struck fire like two flnts, upon the leading topic OF
the day. They were Henry s. HYDE OF sprlhgheiu'
Mass and Samuel Alerton, OF Chicago. Both agreed
I'm advocacy of protective tariff a sound principe vi
government and the facts brought ont IN their cuI
versation were full of hard common-sense MI Aief

Plttsburg, and has been interested for years IN goV
ing grain and raising cattle. He has 3o'ooo'"'O
farm which he only secs once twice year. but mas
been tracing the product TO its place Of consumpNo'
and said among other things Profession Is the great
est boon to the farmers of this country that the
farmer Of any country has known The fact Is
that 90 per cent OF all the farm produce OF 'his oo
fry Is sold I'm the manufacturing centres Of Chicago
Pittsburg, Philadelphia New-YOrk and the NcW-hhE-
land States The result of having this home marhet
all to ourselves makes prices good, and we can
agord N take a smaller price for the per cent we
send abroad, so long as reap the higher price =
90 per cent that we sell at home. / remember no"
this quest struck the late Emery ~ storrs ~
was a Free Trader when he was "A young man,
went into his Office day, scratching my hcad ana
said TO him that had problem wanted him 10 WORK
out for me. Il am farmer said TO him, anu ai'
getting 90 cents bushel for wheat They want NE
10 90 In for free trade and send that wheat over 10
England 10 sell. Now, know that they can get Kus-
sian wheat at Sc cents a bushel DO you thinA tneS
will buy my wheat at 90 cents when they can get nus
sian wheat at &C. and what do you think had better
do about itP Well, Emery just looked at me ior
, awhile and finally he said: SAM never thought
about that before. l guess We had better SUCK p'
protection Tho fact is, this protection question Is
all in a nutshell Just like that. 1t is question
whether we want to supply trade which takes up 10
per cent of our product and then accept small IT,
duct on the per cent, whether we want to go INTO
competition with the whole world and take great re-
duction on all wo raise"
Mr. HYDE who lives on a New England farm OF
100 acres Just outside Of Springfield, where he has
fine herd Of jersey CATTLE made this remark " Inc
statistics Of New England with reference to agriculture
show that raise in n year only sunc"h'
amount Of produce to feed people for fifteen days
This is q feet, | think, not generally known OF ap-
preciaed but it IS in line with what Mr.. Alerton
has said As manufactures grow mp, the consump-
ton In constantly increased, and the demand keeps
I'D prices You may lie sure that we arc right about
this when you Western towns and cites clamorlng
for all kinds of manufactures within their borders
Them IS a town in the country that VIII not give
liberal encouragement Tor inc estaDlshhohu vi manu-
featuring indus tries"
Mr. HYDE and Mr.. Allerton got TO banterins with
each other about their respective farms, when Mr.
Aerton said: "We have colony OF Chicago fellows
IN at Lake Geneva, where you would be termed an
agriculturist as distinguished from farmer. DO
Won know what the difference IS, we fellows up
there SEQ til NOT Well, I'll tell YOU We regard
a farmer as a man who looks after farm, and an
agriculturlst as a man who IS looked after by the
farm"
In talking with Mr. Allerton, a curious point in
the early career Of Senator Mcpherson camo out The
two men were partners in the great stock yards in
ba al from
created such stencil that the citizens both Of Jcr
sey City and New-York City made indignant protests
The Health Boards took UP the matter, and in order
10 protect their interests it became necessary for one
of them 10 60 into politics As Mr. Mcpherson lived
in New-Jcrsey he undertook this branch of the busl-
ness and the beginning of his political career
year later they engaged experts to discover methods
| nv which the ofal could be rendered odorless. il
was through these experiments that the making Of
fertilizers from this material was begun. 1t was
only little whilc,' said Mr. Alleron, before we
| were making a clean profit OF $4,000 to 100000 a
year fertilizers, the material for which 1t had foi
| mcrly cost MS about $4,000 year to get rid off,
Mr. Allerton when I met him on another day,
| began talking about schoolhouscs. You con-
necteds said he with the paper that Horace Greeley

was the greatest friend and champion of free schools
this country has known, and as Western man
| I say the West owes much TO him to any other

| Western State without finding school house. and it
| IS generally of brick, as he recommended There IS
something solid and substantial in the education dealt
out in these brick structures that makes good solid
citizens out of the boys and girls that grow up around
| them. Horace Greeley knew, too, what protection
was to the farmer in giving him home markets, and

Ex-senator Rutan, Of Pitsburg, who has Just 70

Headquarters, is a large and angular man, with square
! shoulders and dark complexion, deep-set eyes, firm
taw and full black brlstng mustache He has the
| air of a commander Of men. lie has been close to
senator Quay during all the latters political career
| and has great faith IN his organizing capacity. lie
