From this significant table the farmers may
draw their own conclusions-it will be readily
seen why farming to-day does not pay. From
the decade of 1847 to 1857, with tariff of
only Is per cent, wheat brought Al cents
more per bushel than it did during the decade
from 1878 to 1888, with tariff of At per cent;
rye brought 16 cents more per bushel, corn 10
who then, under the low tariff of '46, raised
one bushel each of these cereals received a
total of II cents more for his crop than the
farmer now gets under the present monopoly
tariff. Taking the next period, from 1857 to
1860, as normal period as it is possible to
cite, and contrasting the prices under the ex-
tremely low tariff of 161 per cent, with the
period from 1879 to 1888, we have balance
in favor of the former of SO cents per bushel
on wheat, 10 cents on rye, and % cents on
corn.
"These striking figures should open the eyes
of the farmers to the disadvantageous position
in which they are placed by high taxes. 1t is
time to think and act. Right here in your

all the farm RS of the country who use steel
and all who buy his goods must help make
up, while you are compelled to accept Al cents
less per bushel for your wheat than you re-
ceived under the benefcent tariff of 1916.
There is not much solace in the fact that this
same steel baron is now hobnobbing with the
English nobility and driving James G. Blaine,
the great Republican apostle of protection"
over England in his coach and four The

tered by war taxes in times of peace, has had

We have this lamentable showing:

''This table is not a pleasant one for the far
mer to contemplate. The average price of
wheat per bushel for the last ten years is only
$1.09. rye, II; corn, SIS and oats 43. For the
past five years wheat averaged only SO cents per
bushel and only twice in that time (once on
the Nth of July, 1885. and the other date we

An Interesting work

A young lady canvasser is in the city
selling the latest work from the pen OF
the explorer and scientific writer, Willard
Glazier. The narrative is entitled
down the Great River" and the pro.
ducuon but describes and illustrates the
wonderful canoe voyage of the writer
from the headwa ters to the mouth of the
Mississippi. 1t further gives an account
of the discovery of the true source of
the Father of Waters" and contains
views descriptive and pictorial of the
cities, towns, villages and scenery on the
banks of the river as seen during Capt.
Glazier's canoe voyage of over three thou-
sand miles. A chapter is devoted to the
three cities, the author being apparently
much more favorably impressed with
Rock Island than Davenport, for while
he ridicules some of the imperfections
across the river, he speaks in words of
praise of the numerous f1ourishin9 estab-
lishments of Rock Island and the ad-
vantages the city offers to commerce and
manufacture.
The book is bound either in cloth or in
full or half Morocco, and is sold only by
subscription. Price So, SO and 81.

VIII Not Approve 1t.

Mayor Banding returned the Brush
Electric Light ordinance adopted at the
special council meeting a week ago Sat-
urday night, to the city clerks office this
morning, without his signature. This
would indicate that the mayor proposes
to do his duty and veto the obnoxious in
slrument, though there is no telling what
his honor is likely to do. The municipal
code gives the mayor opportunity to play
the coward, and neither affirm or veto the
ordinance, thus allowing it to become a
law without his passing upon it. 1t is
to be hoped that as long as the mayor
was to fortunate as to be absent from the
star chamber session, he will not feel
called upon to endorse its illegal translc
tons

Herbert Taylor, laborer in the en-

the cellar of the Tegeler building and
directly under the City Laundry on Third
avenue between Seventeenth and Eigh-
teenth streets at $50 o'clock this after

a ditch in order TO assist the plumbers in
thawing out frozen pipe. Tim Ken
needy. fellow laborcr, who had been
working with Taylor and lad left him for
a short time, discovered the dead man on
his return. He at once notified the police
station, and Deputy Marshal Kramer and
Officer Meenan repaired to the scene and
carried Taylor up into the laundry,
where Coroner Halves is holding an in.
quest.
Taylor was an epileptic. having been
subject to fits for some time. He created
a sensation by falling in the ditch in front
of the Harper house last fall. The sup>
position is that he was seized with an
eplleptic attack while alone in the cellar
aud was killed either by striking his head
against the stonework of the building, or
that he was smothered before coming out
of the f.. His forehead was quite badly
decorated, showing that he had come In
contact With the rough stone work in
falling, and tho blood and dirt had be-
come so smeared over his face that his
countenance was scarcely recognizable.
The deceased was single man and
boarded at Mrs BIake's boarding house,
