The Farmer and the Corp ration.
Chicago Globe.

IHCUyO uVVc.
A good exhibition of the monstrous in
EQUITY of the prevailing war tariff can be
seen in the discrimination that protection
ism has made in the tariff on lumber
against the farmer and in favor of the rail-
road corporation.
On ali the lumber that the farmer uses
N bull ling or repairing his house, his
barn, his fences, his cattle sheds, et =, the
war tariff compels him to pay tax of two
dollars per one thousand feet for the pro.
lection Of the wealthy gentlemen who have
''gobbled" all the timber lands in Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and elsewhere.
On bill of common lumber, shingles,
siding, ETC., for his house, amounting to
$500, the farmers enforced contribution,
partly to the public treasury, but moinly
to the said lumber bsrons, is above $130.
On bill of Humber for his barn, amount
ing to $3.50, his enforced contribution is
over $40.
On bill of fencing lumber amounting
to 5000, his enforced contribution is over
$50.
This is an exhibition of the taxes which
the farmer is compelled TO pay on the
rough lumber he uses. Now, what is the
burden which the tariff law imposes on
the lumber which the railway corporations
nee? The main part of it is in the form
of railway ties. Railway ties are in the
free list! The railroad corporations i'm
port the bulk of all their railroad track
lumber from Canada, and pay no taxes on
it whatever.
Ga bill of railroad lumber amounting
to $500 the railroad company's enforced
contribution is-not cent.
% q bill ofrailroad lumber amounting to
$3.50, the company's enforced contribution
is-not cent.
On a bill of railroad lumber amounting
to $500, the company's enforced contribu-
ton is-not cent.
Evidently, our interesting war tariff was
not intended to tax the railroad corpora
TONS lumber.
Evidently, it was intended to tax the
farmers lumber.
Aud this interesting righteousness, the
plutocrats tell us, they will continue.
They will continue to tax the farmers
lumber and, to reduce the treasury surplus,
will put whisky on the free list with the
corporations lumber.
Charming programme for the farmer! Is
it not?

THE MILLS bill will pass. What
chaags has come over the spirit Of Repub'
Eean dreams. A few short months sinct
the air was heavy with predictions that il
would never be sent to the Senate. Now
the grave and dignifed fossils of the upper
House are busily engaged preparing q sub-
stitute in expectation Of being called upon
TO consider the tariff question at this ses-
sion Of Congress.
Nothing shows more clearly how strong
the sentiment Of tax reform Is rooted in
the hearts Of the people. 1t was well
planted and well wstered. Monopoies
and protected trusts, the creatures of Re
publican bounty, have tried to crush it out
in vain.
The MILLS bill win pass. 1t win carry
with it to the Senate thu endorsement of
the people, an endorsement which they
viii repeat in millions of honest ballots at
the polls.

Issues Dead Beyond Recall.
North ARertean Rerine.


Under the lead Of demagogue like For
sker and bitter partisan like Iugslls, we
may expect this campaign to have the
dead issues of the War resurreeted, and
the South arraigned for numerous misdeeds
of which il is guiltless, and charged with
q want of patriotism which il possesses in
common and in an equal degree with every
other section Of our country. All conflicts
Of opinion upon political questions that
were evoked by the war have bsen buried,
and the man Who attempts to bring them to
life is an enemy to the people, and will in
evitably be swept down in the tide of pub
lie opinion that will rise above partisan
clamor and submerge the noisy patriots
who are now preparing to institute another
campaign of this character. There may
be economic questions that divide differ
emit sections and commonwealtbs of this
land, but in feeling Of loyalty and love
for our Institutions each one joins willing
hands and hearts with each other.

From an Artistic Standpoint.

WHEELING, July 8.
To ne Editor Of he Register:
Have not the Republicans great advsn-
tage over the Democrats from an artistic
standpoint?
The Democrats have the bandanna to
wave for honest men and sound principles,
but to offset the bsndanna the Rspubli-
cans could use Chinese napkins, and by
introducing Chinese fans and parasols they
could make a great display, but it almost
makes us dizzy when we think of the Chi
nese lanterns that will be used in their
gorgeous decorations; and when their
marching clubs and orators, instead Of
waving the bloody shirt, shall wear that
garment outside of their trousers, what 3
striking and enthusiastic sight it will be,
and from an artistic view how harmonious
and appropriate to the record of the Re-
publican leader.
Can the bandanns hold its own against
such odds? CONSTANT READER.

man Kisner has opened the Democratic
headquarters at the Girard House, with a
working annex at 727 Walnut street, and
State Chairman Cooper win start business
for the Republicans on the 10th OF this
month at the Continental Hotel. Chair
man Kisner says he has the organization
well in hand, considering the time of year,
and promises that all Cooper gets out OF
the campaign he will have to fight for.
He seems tc think that Cooper, secure in
o majority for Harrison and Morton, will
make the Congressional districts his main
objective points in the campaign.
II grant you" says Mr.. Kisner, THAT
the Republicans will carry four districts in
Philadelphia, two in Allegheny, and the
Lancaster district, bat if Mr.. Cooper thinks
that he is going to make any gains or will
be allowed to capture any Of the close dis
iricts without close fight. he is very much
mistaken. he has perfect organization,
but We will make him hustle in the doubt

The Moral weight of the Country.

NGU 1OFE ltHlCf.
1t is not what the Democrats have done,
except whrt has been done by President
far better, stronger and Drawer than his
party, that has sent the moral weight Of
the country to their side. It is what the
Republicans have done to disgust and re-
pei conscientious and independent voters.
Il is the fact that the control of the Re-
publican party organization has fallen into
the hands of men to whom politics is
merely q trade like any other and who
have made it more disreputable than al
most any other. 1t is the Steve Elkinses
and Tom Platts that have wrought this
revolution. 1t is the prgtorian guard put
ting up the Empire ut auction. When
party arrives at that state in which it is Q
serious question whether man cannot buy
its nomination to the Presidency with
money paid to the Leaders," and when
the Headers" put out q platform which is
simply speculation upon the gullibility
of the voters, intelligent and conscientious
voters must feel that such q party has
outliyed its usefulness.

IL the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette de.
sired to kill the Exposition now in pro.
gress there, it could not have adopted 8
more effective course than its so'called sd'
vertisement of it. Republican orators at
a Republican ratification meeting opened
the Exposition in a manner after the
Commercial Gdzelte's own heart. The event
was duly hsralded to the world.
Now that an additional attraction is de-
sired, and President CLEVELAND and
wife are urged to lend dignity to the oc-
casion, the Gazette extends an invitation
in a choice specimen of original MURAT
HALsrEAD blsckgusrdism. After being
thus urged, it will hardly be possible for
the President to stay away from Cincinnati.

Mr.. Labouchere is hypercritical when
on Rider Haggsrd's applica-
tion of the Seventh Commandment to
American publishers who print and sell
his books without his permission. Hag-
gard, who is said to be high churchman,
probably uses a Roman Catholic Bible, in
which the order of the Commandments
differs from the order in the Protestant
Bible. The Catholics Seventh Command
ment is: "Thou shalt not steal"

A CONSTANT READER" calls attention
to the great advantage the Republicans en-
joy from an artistic standpoint. They can
adopt the Chinese napkin IS party ban
ner and completely lay the bandanns out,
IS far rs high artistic coloring goes. We
cheerfully admit the right of the Republi-
can party to exclusive proprietorship in
the Chinese napkin. Their claim can't be
disputed. Against it We put the bandanna
of honest labor, and it requires no prophet
