The Projected Farmer

Behold, then, the happy farmer as he
rises IN the morning and puts on his com
mon flannel shirt, taxed 95 per cent. 1t
is perch4nce, cool, and he puts on a coat
taxed - per cent. He cannot go with
out shoes taxed IS per cent, and the hat
that he puts on is taxed Is per cent He
draws water in bucket taxed IS per
cent aud washes bis hands in tin bowl
taxed 35 per cent, drying them on a cheap
towel taxed a. per cent.
But still more happiness is in store.
He sits down to breakfast and eats from
Il plate taxed 80 per cent, with knife
and fork taxed 35 per cent. The sugar
he puts into bis coffee Is taxed 81 per
cent and he seasons his food with salt
taxed AZ per cent. tie looks fondly at
his happy wife aud children who share
his protection with him, and then goes
out and fills his pipe with tobacco taxed
1872 per cent or perhaps lights prOtcc~
ted cigar taxed is per cent. Meanwhile,
the smiling sun streams through the pro-
tected piass window of his dOmicie on a
tax Of 80 per cent.
The thrice happy farmer nov takes old
Nell out of the stable aud puts on bri-
die taxed 30 per cent. r ne;ghboring
.smithY shoes her, using nails taxed 50
per cent, driven by hammer that is
taxed 20per cent He then bitches
her to Il pillow taxed A. per cent, with
chains taxed 81 per cent, and proceeds to
his highly protected labor.
The days work being done, he reads a
chapter from his family bible taxed q
per cent, and kneels in prayer on hum.
BILE carpet taxed 81 per per cent. A
last he lies down and wraps his weary
limbs in sheet taxed 40 per cent, and
sinks into the arms Of Morpheus under
IL blanket that is taxed 1(4 per cent
We have no idea that the farmer de-
slres absolute free trade more than any
other class Of American citizens as VT
understand they are willing to acquiesc,
in a tariff that shall afford H reasonable
protection to American mechanics, bu
like the rest of us they cannot and will
not support war tariff" that is now
kept on and builds up monopoies anC
trusts and is sucking the life blood out o

The Mills bill placing jute bags on the

been formed, and the price of jute cloth
advanced from seven cents 10 eleven

There is about as much sense in this

become Law, and until it does the tariff
upon jute, as upon the other 1000 srti,
cles affected by the present scale of du>
ties, will remain Just as they have been,
The Jute manufacturers well know that
there Is little prospect Of the Mills bill be
coming law The republican senate
with its intense anti patty toward remov
ing any Of the burden of war taxes
stands in the way. The jnte trust is only
possible through the present tariff laws
and its organization is the strongest DOS
sible argument in favor Of placing the

WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. tin accord
ance with the usual custom, the senate will
be convened in special. session early next
March, Immediately following the expiration
of the present congress. No matter how the
presidential election may result this special
session will be necessary. Should President
Cleveland be reelected his cabinet must I've
reappointed, and should Gen Harrison win
the senate will be called together to assist
him in organizing his administration. If the
Republicans elect their presidential ticket
they will almost certainly control the senate;
II they lose the presidential election they are
likely to lose the senate. At all events, the
next senate will be nearly equally divided
politically.
The terms of twenty-six senators-thirteen
Democrats and thirteen Republicans-will
expire on March 3 next OF the outgoing
Democrats eleven are from southern states,
one from Delaware, a state as reliably Demo
cratic as any in the south, and one from New
Jersey. The latter is the only state that can
be considered doubtful in the list that must
choose successors to Democrats Already the
Democrats have gained one senator from the
Republicans. They have chosen Barbour to
succeed Riddleberger from Virginia There
fore, unless some unexpected and remarkable
political revolution should occur within the
south between now and November, the Dem
ocrats are sure to hold their own in the nexi
senate. If they retain New Jersey they
will divide the senate equally with the
Republicans, assuming that the latter suffer
no further losses, and the political status Of

Dixon for Collector.

There will be a hot fight tomorrow on
the collectorsbip. James T. Dixon, the
democratic candidate, is well known to
the citizens of Rock Island as one of Its
enterprising business men, but has not
been as conspicuous in politics as his OPP
ponent Mr. Gahegan has been stand
ing candidate for office for years, and his
party finally gave him the nomination
after repeated rebuffs. He is trying to
gain sympathy by posing as wounded
soldier, and in so doing is sailing under
false colors. He didn't lose his arm in
the service of his country but at Fourth
of July celebration in Davenport. He
would make more friends if he ran on his
merits as a working man aud citizen.
Mr.. Dixon is not soliciting votes through
physical disability, although he could
better ask support on that ground than
Mr.. Gahegan.

south Rock Island.

The candidacy of Mr.. George Rich
mond in South Rock Island is icing fav-
Orably received by the voters of that
town. He is a young and vigorous dem.
ocrat, well educated and decidedly popu-
lar. While he will receive the full sup
port of his party, many republicans have
announced their intention of voting for
him. There is Il strong and growing
feeling against Tom Campbell in his own
party, but he always has plenty of
"heelers" at the caucus and runs things
to suit himself there. 1t would be no
surprise, however, to see him defeated
the polls this year.
