Political Notes.

TIE New York Independent echoes the
hopelessness of the Republican party when it
says: SIS it to be Blaine or nobody? If so,
it will be nobody. 1t will be worse; it will
be not only defeat, but division and disgrace.
1t happens that Mr. Blaine's health is an
important factor in American politics just
now. Let it be distinctly understood that he
is in good physical condition and, in spite of
his deelination, the Republican Presidential
nomination viii go to him with such force as
to compel its acceptance. Whether he de-
sired the honor or not, he could not say ''no"
to the unanimous call of his party, for he is
human, and.it is not in human nature to refuse
such Washington Post
There never was time, says the Lancaster,
Pa, Intelligencer, when the Republican party
was in more hopeless condition to meet the
advance of the fearless and determined De-
mocracy. Blaine has declined; Sherman is
mistrusted; Allison is thought of only because
of his negative character. The party is with
out policy and without leader. The Dem.
ocrats will accomplish tariff reform this year,
and the Republicans will pose as obstruction
lists to the onward march Of the country.
The sum last year OF all the internal revenue
taxes, including spirits, tobacco, fermented
liquors, oleomargarine, banks and bankers
and miscellaneous, was only Sis, 49,, 30l .06.
The cost Of collection was 81 ,065, las. 81, and,
therefore, the net sum was about 1142 mill
lions. The surplus next July will be notices.
than 155 millions, and next year nearly as
much; so that, after sweeping away all tie
internal taxes, there will on that basis be 40
millions remaining to be taken from customs
taxes.

Farmers and the Tariff.

The New York Herald, in reply to a statement re-
Gently made in the Tribune, that protection has q
sort of blessing in disguise to our farmers, says
THE Government encourages every industry eX-
cept that of Agriculture and then tells the farmer
that he ought be proud of the general prosperity,
because when people have lots of money they
always want lots of potatoes and turnips. Perhaps
the farmer will be very grateful to come in at the
tail end Of the procession and be allowed to swallow
the dust of those who are ahead of him.
Are the products of his farm protected2 Well.
ask him. and note his reply. He must sell his
wares as best he can, but when he comes to buy he
is pounded and bounded and hunted by a tariff on
everything he needs.
docs he want new barn? There is o tariff on
lumber. Does he want to shingle the old wood
shed? There is tariff on every nail, and another
tariff on his hammer. The iron manufacturer is
projected and the farmer pays tribute to him every
time he buys 0 hoe or plow The lumber king
takes few dollars from him. The coal baron fol-
lows suit. The Glass Trust taxee him for every
window pane, and when the doctor prescribesa dose
of castor oil he finds duty OF over 100 per cent on
the medicine
THE only consolation he has comes from the
mortgage he has been forced to put on his land
home. Slender consolation that but it is his share
of this benefcent protective system and il is about
all he gets, too That mortgage has q way of in
creasing ITSELF and the interest must be promptly
paid the farmer will run across foreclosure and
become tenant instead of an owner
That is the way the present system works, and
we venture to say that ii is very bad showing.
Our farmers can't afford to be fooled much longer
by the fallaeies of protection or they will have
nothing left"

to profanity, however. They grow stout
and lazy, but live to ripe old age.
Maine can claim one good thing besides
its temperance record 1t raises good car
rage horses. 1t is the only State in the
East, aside from Pennsylvania, where
good road horse is bred. From down
around Lancaster, Pa, good roadsters are
sent to the Bulls Head stables. Other
good horses come from West Virginia, Ken
lucky and Indiana, and man with from
five to eight hundred dollars in his pocket
can get good carriage or riding horse
from any of these States sent direct to the
Bulls Head.
NO RACE HORSES AT BULLS HEAD.
You will not find any race horses at the
Bulls Head Race horses are bred for a
particular purpose and by private parties,
Honesty and business methods prevail IN
this horse market now. There was time
when an unsuspecting farmer would buy
horse high stepping and proud of mien at
the Balls Head and proudly imagine he
had secured bargain until few days
later the unfortunate horse would lose
color, droop and die. Then the farmer
would realize that the horse had been
'doctorcd." They don't "doctor" them
any more. Henry Bergh used to watch
them too closely, and besides it doesn'tpay.
Times chestnut bell has been rung on the
old device. Strange? Not at ALL The
world, even if it be proving weaker, is
getting wiser. And besides, the old tricks
are played out.
Bulls Head market now deals in moth
ing but fresh stock. No playedout horses
are sold here. In addition to supplying
New York city, it furnishes the farmers Of
New York State, Connecticut, Massachu-
sets and Pennsylvania with large share
OF the norscs tney use. In this line, l.o"-
ever, it has rivals in the street car COM
panies All their cast-off horses are bought
by farmers. They are not of any use for
very heavy work, but can be useful in
variety of ways around farm. Some
times, although rarely, they bring $50.
The usual price is s10-sometimes it is
less.
And so the 100000 horses that come to
New York every year are distributed.
Some 90 to the farms, some drag horse
cars, some carry festive young men through
the intricacies of polo, some pull brewery
wagons, some propel carriages and cabrio-
lets, and 5000 of them die every year be-
cause they can do nothing else. In some
respects the horse is not unlike the slightly
superior animal, man. Like every man,
every horse has its price. Like a majority
of men, the horse is rarely appraised at its
real value. That's ALL
