THE FARMER A PRoTEcTloNlsT.

L
Leading Democratic Journals
and politicians now concede tina
a solid south is no longer tenable
The naked truth is that the Souti
will not remain solid and no effort
of her politicians can keep her in
that condition.
| Virginia, West Virginia, Ala
bama, Georgia, North Carolina
and Tennessee can be depended
upon to ultimately become repub-
lican states. The politicians view
the ominous signs of the times
and are already casting about for
methods of vigorous propagation
of Democratic priciples in the agri-
cultural states of the west, thinking
that power can be placed in the
hands of these states that will
sweep away and entirley destroy
the protective policy of the coun-
try.
The Democratic party cf.n make
no greater mistake, than to- attempt
to regain its power by the aid ef
western farmers. This is the con-
clusion to which an educational
campaign has brought tn, MAORI
ty of the people.
1t is notable that the appeals to
the farming class to vote for Free
Trade were entirely ignored, and
that the great agricultur al states
voted for Harrison in body, Min
nesota, the hope of the Free Trad
ers, giving him the largest vote
she has ever given to any candi-
date for the Presidency.
The farmer has to earn what he
spends, and he does this most
easily when he has hls customers
close at hand in mill and factory.
instead of going across the sea to
find a market.
1t Is also a potent fact, that
ninety-seven per cent of our peo-
pie were farmers when the pro-
tective policy was first adopted,
and this class IS still able to give
any shape it may desire to or na-
tional policy. Many of them
recollect what farming was under
a Free Trade system antl nearly
all have experienced the improve
ment IN their condition by the
growth of manufactures in their
Ihe western farmers are wide
awake, and none know better that
the great cites of Duluth, Mime
apolis, st. Paul, Kansas City, st.
Louis, Chicago, and the thousand |
but prosperous towns owe
heir prosperity to a protective |
ariff. These toms furnish a
lome market 70, farmers pro-
ducts, which, towns that depend on
'elllng goods, to the agricultural
'lasses, alone could never do. The
western farmers understand this
nd they will ever be found among
he strongest supporters Of Pro-
ective Policy.

It is stated that Private Dalzell will shortly
republish his interesting history of John Gray,
Washington's last surviving soldier; born at
Mount Vernon, Va, 1854; died at Caldwell, o.,
1868, after having been pensioned at $500 a
year by the 30th Congress- 1t was FIRST pub
lished by the Private in Washington in 1863 a
few weeks after the old hero's death, and is TO
be found in the Congressional Library. The
new edition will be greatly improved and en-
bellished with Ane engravings, and will be
issued as a centennial souvenir for the coming
celebrations in Ohio. But probably a much
more attractive book of the Priyate's is his
Autobiography. 1t will class in interest with
any book of the kind published since Fred
Douglass and Barnum published theirs. 1t
contains the authors portrait
These books will not be in the bookstores.
The Private grown old and poor, hoping to re-
cuperate his finances, will sell them personally
at the centennial fairs in Ohio.
The friend who communicates the above
closes thus: May 1 not hope, with all the
friends Of Private Dalzell, that the daily press
will accord his literary ventures such notice
as will bring his books at once before the pub
lie and be the means of giving the latter a
glorious treat and relieve the distress of a
worthy soldier2"

EX-PRISONERs OF WAR.
What The, are peing Thronrhont the Country.


The Pension Committee of the National As
soc alton OF Union Tx Prisoners Of War met in
this city last week, represented by Capt. Thos
u. Mckee, Chairman, and L. A. Littlefeld, OF
Washington. d. g.; Col l. f. Mack. Sandusky,
o.; Z. IL. Williams, esq, indianapolis, Ind;
Hon. Ezra H. Ripple, Scranton, Pa; Henry
knapp, esq. Baltimore, Md, and Mai Frank E.
Moran, Philadelphia.
By previous arrangement they were &C
corded a hearing before the Pension Com
mittee Of the Senate on Tuesday, in behalf of
legislation for the benefit Of ex-prisoners of
war. Able arguments were made by Messrs
Mack, Williams, Mckee and Moran. On
Thursday the same gentlemen appeared before
the House Committee Oh Invalid Pensions, and
presented these claims in an equally able man
ner and more in detail, receiving from the
committee the closest attention during the en-
tire argument.
The bill adopted by the National Association
and Endorsed by the Grand Encampment,
GAR, at st. Louis, was the one most warmly
pressed upon the attention Of the Committee.
IN response to the justice of these claims, the
House Committee has unanimously reported a
bill for the relief Of ex-prisOners including the
section giving each prisoner 50 per day for the
time they were in Southern prisons. IL is be-
lieved that similar action will be taken by the
Senate Committee at it's next meeting.
A meeting of the Philadelphia Association

TIE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Last week was marked by what the Weather
Bureau would style Great atmospheric per-
turbstion. winds fresh, increasing 10 strong and
even violent, with local storms and frequent
and sudden changes Of the barometer, followed
by clearing weather and milder temperature"
The "perturbati0n " was caused BY the meet
ingof the National Democratic Committee, and
the struggle Of several cities for the honor
and profit of being the meeting place of the
Democratic National Convention. New York,
Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis and San
Francisco, all wanted It, and they want
ed it hke-wel, like the traditional Tex
an wanted his revolver when he really did
want il. They each sent delegations of their
most eloquent and persuasive citizens, and re-
Enforced their honeyed words with things that
are even pleasanter to the average man and
committeeman than sweet speech. There were
baskets OF wine from the sunny hills of France
everyone Of which lthe baskets, not the hills,
mean had paid at least 81 toward swelling the
surplus, and providing a pension fund, and
there were countless boxes of Cuban cigars,
each Of which had made the Treasury richer
by several dollars. OF course fine old Bourbon,
(the internal tax on which is 90 cents gallon,)
and French brandy, tax s. a gallon,) flowed
like water. Indirectly, each one Of the gentle
men present at the meeting contributed more
to the veteran pension fund in the six or seven
days that be was in the city, than he had been
in the habit of doing In as many years.
lThe delegation from each city kept open
house" where everybody who belonged to the
committee or was supposed to have any in
huence with any member Of il, was supplied
with all that he cared to drink or smoke, and
besides had his mind filled with the beauty, at
trsctiveness and advantages of the particular
city for which the delegation was laboring.
The New Workers drew glowing pictures Of the
greatness Of the commercial metropolis, and
the delights the delegates would have in a
visit to thar mart OF the Western world.
