II will thus be observed that the farmers
receive as much and even trifle more for
their products now than they did in 1860.
On the other hand, what do they pay for
manufactured articles? Has the war tariff
which we hear so much about added to
the cost of manufactured commodities?
"Oh, yes" says the Free Trader, ''about
100 per cent, on your blankets, l02 per
cent on your clothing, and any amount
per cent. on all you buy" Nothing of
the kind, Mr.. Farmer. While what YOU
sell has slightly increased, what you buy
has most decidedly decreased. Here is the
proof: The following shows the decrease
in various classes of manufactured pro-
ducts, building materials being higher, and
published quotations Of window glass 10
per cent. higher, but every other class
lower. The figures represent not quota
tons, but the cost Of the same quantities

FROM the Boston journal.
One of the speakers at the Prohibition ban
quet Monday evening said that the Prohibi.
tory party is the only party which is growing
This is interesting, if true. The place to
look for growth is in the election returns
There were nine States in which elections
were held in 1887 in which the Prohibition.
lists ran separate tickets. In four of these
States, New York, Ohio, Nebraska and Mas
sachusetts, there was 4 Prohibitory gain,
amounting in the aggregate to 1857. In five
Of them, Kentucky, Iowa, New Jersey, Pen
nsylvsnia and Maryland, there was loss in
the Prohibitory vote, aggregating SAIL.
The net loss to the Prohibitionists in the nine
States was 47,35+. This does not look like
the kind of growth which third party Pro-
hibitiont should exult over. This decline
in the third party vote does not signify de-
cline in the genuine temperance sentiment of
the country, but indicates that an increasing
number of men are satisfied that the hope of
temperance legislation rests with the Re-
publican party.

among the descendants Of New England
ers who are numerous in that section of
the country, has the following plain
language on the strsnge comparison Of
Cleveland with the Nations martyred
hero:
Heaven forgive the man for his xacrilege !!
Think of comparing Grover Cleveland, .
man without single patriotic emotion, with
the great martyr of freedom. Il il possible
that this is James Russell Lowell. the author
of the Biglow Papers, the man whose voice
for many years rang out SO boldly in defence
of human rights, and inspired men so grandly
to the best there was . human living-is this
Lowell who thus in fulsome adulation falls
down at the feet of Grover Cleveland: To
say that the man who now by grace
of fraud and violence and cor
ruption sits in the Presidents chair
is the best representative of the higher
type of Americanism since Lincoln, is "a
libel not only Lincoln himself. but every
man who has succeeded him. What does
Mr. Lowell understand by the higher type
of Americanism? Does the higher type in
this country stand for cold, passive indiher-
ence when the claims of country in peril
utiidiiic1 pOnst AIom ~ Nisa1SD
Is the higher type of Americanism embodied
in men Of bestial tastes and appetites? Does
the higher type Of Americanism and express
sion in selfish and brutal natures, in . conceii
and egotism that never asks advice, and never
accepts it. Is the higher type of American
ism embodied in man who can accept office
by virtue of crimes upon the ballot box, and
then pander and grovel in the dust to the
outlaws who gave him the position. Is the
higher type of Amerieanism to be found in 4
man without training in public life, without
the first conception of the responsibility OF
government, without any appreciation of the
great problems which lie before the CHIEF
executive? IL the man the best representa-
tive of Americanism whose whole course hal

an appeal to foreign interests: Is it the higher

1t is fact but little known to people who
keep poultry, that the first part of hen which
becomes disarranged on the approach of
diseases is the ovaries or egg producing or
gans.
Excess of fat exposure to wet and cold
poor condition, shedding feathers, improper
food, want Of exercise, or lack of certain
elements in the food to develope the embryo
egg, will all produce the same effect and
cause the hens TO stop laying.
1t cannot be laid down as an "ironclad
rule, that when hen ceases laying il is a
positive symptom she will soon be sick; but
il can be stated with the utmost assurance
that something is wrong or she would not
cease laying for weeks, and often months.
The annual egg product per hen, in this
country, ranges from three to eight dozen
each. Now this is by far too small. There
is no earthly reason why every hen that lays
at all, should not be made to lay from ten to
fifteen dozen eggs each per year and con-
tinue to do so at least for five years. We
know of parties who get eggs at that rate in
mid-winter in our cold climate.
How to get eggs in cold weather interests
every person who keeps hens. Mr.. Charles
Raymond of Canaan, Conn, writes under
date of March s, 1887. IL had excellent re-
suits from feeding Sheridan Powder to my

The symptoms of Bilousness are unhappi-

different individuals to some extent. A
Bilious man is seldom q breakfast eater.
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but none for solids of q
morning. His tongue will hardly bear in
spection at any time; if it is not white and
furred, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out Of order

often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood
There may he giddiness and often headache

A Word to the Farmers.

The New York Tribune, in its review of
prices for the year just closed, makes a
telling point against those Free Traders
who are everlastingly prating about the
prices Of farm products having been
enormously raised by the tariff. These
figures show that the great decline in the
cost Of transportation, from 65 cents in
1860 on grain from Chicago to - cents or
less last year, accounts for the entire
difference in the cost OF breadstuffs and
meats. Here is the tanle:

In face of these figures it will be uphill
work for President Cleveland to sustain
the position he takes in his message, that
the protective tariff makes manufactured
products more costly than they were under
the revenue tariff Of 1850. And the broad
est smile that will greet his efforts will
come from the Western farmer, who.
while paying Is per cent. less for the goods
he buys, receives more money at the farm
for his products than he did before the
tariff was enacted.
