English and American Farmers.
Chicago Intsr.0ossA.
MI. Henry Champlain said-4he other
day IN. the English Parliament, "the
farmers Of this country are losing
ESQ, 100000 (about $250,0oO ,0OO) a year."
and there was none to question or to
say nay to his assertion. The farmers
Of America to whom free traders address
their speoious plea, Of "cheap clothing
and cheap cutlery should consider this
pregnant and painful declaration. What
matters it hoy ''cheap' clothing and
cutlery may be to a community whose
purchasing power is abridged by a de.
felt Of 4250,00O,O0O a yearf It is not SO
in the United States under protection.
And it is rot so here and is 20 there
because, and only because, protection
has enlarged the home market of
America. while free trade has diminish
ed the home market of England.
During the years in which the protect
i've system has been in force in the
United States farm values have increased
by 38} per cent. During the years in
which free trade has been in force in
England farm lands have decreased
from Is to rs per cent; 40 per cent being
about an average of the measure of the
shrinkage. Under protection money is
being constantly borrowed for the pur'
chase and improvement Of farms. in
America; under free trade capital shuns
farming investments in England. Under
protection the United States is making
such increase of wealth and population
~ the world has meyer before seen;
under free trade England is retrogress
ing. These are not generalities.

Ms. Jerome dearly loved TO play prao-
ical joke on his friends With Travers and
Florence he was in tho habit of going up
into Canada on a salmon fishing expedition
every summer, and on ono occasion Florence
and Jerome induced the local authorities Of
a small town in Quebec to lock 1ravers up
over night. They claimed that he was
murderer and that they were taking him
back to New York, where the crime had
been committed.
In appearance Mr. Jerome was about six
feet in height aud stout in proportion. His
big face was constantly covered with a
smile, and his eyes always had a mischievous
twinkle.
During his lifetime Mr. Jerome made
many trips abroad, visiting in London his
daughter, Lady Randolph Churchill, with
whom he was a great favorite He was also
welcomed into the Prince OF Wales set, and
was generally liked. Even in tho shadow Of
royalty he could not restrain his penchant
for joking. One time while on a yachting
tour, he managed to procure few sheets Of
the queens stationery and wrote out an in
vtation TO himself for "A dinner at Osborne.
That night at dinner his sn-vant brought in
an inclosure which Jerome opened with an
atfectation of indifference, saying, 'Oh, only
an invitation from Lord Blank" Soon the
servant entered with big envelope stampes
apparently with the royal soal aud crest
The Englishmen present held their hreaths
as their friend nonchalantly cut open the
package aud said:
well, this is getting to be a bore. y
''What is itr' was asked
''Ohi only an invitation from tho queen to
dine with her majesty at Osborne"
The Englishmen gasped for breath The
idea Of an American affecting to regard an
invitation to dine with tho quesn as a bore
1t was just such harmless little pleasautries
rs these that Larry Jerome loved to indulge
In, and even to spend hours AMI days In con-
cocting. As he lay upon what uahappily
proved to be his death bed, tho ruling pas
sion was strong within him, and bus week
ago, when Billy Florence went TO 500 him,
wearing a mustache acquired ia ttse wiIds Of
Canada, he wagered him basket of wine
rat he would not wear the hirsute appendage

SMALLPOX IN A JAIL.
An EpideanIc Feared In the State Prison
nj Trenton.

TRENTON, Aug. 13. 13.-Considerable alarm b
felt here over the breaking out Of smallpox in
the state prison The disease is believed to
have been brought to the prison by a convict
named Charles Platt, who was received ON
July "A from Camden county. A day or
two after his arrival he became ill., and
although he was sick several days and an
eruption broke out ON him, it was not s,ls-
pected that he was suffering from small
pox. The prison physician failed to dag
nose bis case as smallpox until it was too
late TO prevent Thomas Kenny, another con-
vict, from contracting tho disease.
Kenny was not closely associated with
Platt. and from this It is feared that other
prisoners will be stricken down, and that
there may possibly be an epidemic in the
prison. The prison authorities have endeav-
ored 20 keep the matter from being known
outside, and every precaution has been taken
to prevent an epidemic. The prison has been
thoroughly fumigated, and all Of the prison
ers will be vaccinated as speedily as possible
