JOSLIN.

Inc pastures are becoming very dry |
We need good rain.
Joslin would be good location for q |
creamery and cheese factory.
DIR. Truesdale was up to see Mr.. Peter |
Mold, the son of Henry Mold. who is
still very low with dropsy.
Mr.. Bender. our blacksmith, is still
limping around. He was unfortunate
in having the anvil fall upon and mash
four of his toes.
Mr.. Brewster's new store is approach
ing completion MIR. John Dennison and
sons, the carpenters, are putting on the
finishing touches.
The republicans are to have pole
raising at Joslin next Saturday afternoon.
That delicate looking individual, the Rev.
McPheeter, is announced as orator.
On last Saturday evening last DR..
Morgan, of Port Byron, made political
speech at Joslin He did not seem to
know that the war was over; he fought
1t all over again, commencing to wave
the bloody shirt at Fort Sumpter And
as in 1884, he predicted that IF the DEM
ocrats came again into office, we might
expect to have to settle the southern war
claims and to pension the confederate
soldiers, and after once the democrats
again got in possession of the senate and
house of representatives and the press
dental chair, what could hinder them
appointing twelve additional judges of
| the supreme court-all of southern pro-
clivitiesS Then look out. And he might
have added, what is to hinder them bor>
ing hole to the center of the earth, let
ting down h0gshead of dynamite, at,
taching fuse, then striking match, and
blowing the republican party into millions
of fragments2 Wouldn't it be comicsl
sight to see the doctor struggling to hang
his hat on one horn of the moon? After
the lecture, DR.. Morgan was challenged
to public discussion by the prohibition
lists, which he declined to accept by say
ing, chat discussion would have ten
dency to make prohibition votes"
| Noticing an article in last Saturday 5
Union headed "A Needed Correction. -
and signed Truth. | would say in reply
that the writer seemed disposed to throw
his boomerang so that it would hit the
democrats and "Multum in Paryo" at the
san time. Truth" says, "the communi-
cation is signed 'Mutum IN Parvo, which
being interpreted, means much democ-
racy in prohibition (Lie No y
That the writer is democrat appears
from the article itself" AS the article
| spoken OF was truthful report of dem
ocratic meeting We will put that down as
lie No, 2. That every one who knows
the writer, knows him to be a democrat
wearing the label, prohibitionist Lie
No. 3. Verify the old saying Truth
never lies, will now become obsolete
But the main point at issue seems TO be
that Mr.. Hurst is charged with reading
only such portion of Mr., Blaine's Tween
ty Years in Congress" as showed the
great prosperity between 1916 to 1857
(without showing the causes which led
to iO No. but had there been high
protective tariff during those prosperous
years, between 1916 to 1857, those two
conditions would have been pointed out
by proteCtionists, as being cause and eff
feet. But as low tariff prevailed it was
not 3 factor in the nations prosperity
but all is attributed to famine in Ire
lend, short crops in Europe, discovery of
gold in California, acquisition of territory
in Mexico and the Crimean war, which
totally closed the grain fields of Russia
from any competition with the United
States" The consequence was that farm
| products brought higher prices, farmers
spent their money literally and legitimate
business became prosperous; but bear in
mind while these influences were at work
| increasing the farmers income the low
tariff was at work lessening his expenses
so that both influences combined were
the real cause of the great pros
perity between the years 1916 to 1857.
But if instead of low tariff during those
eleven years, we had had high protective
tariff which had gobbled up all that the
| farmers bad got extra for their grain,
where would the flush times have been'
! Would not the farmers money have
drifted into the pockets of those com,
paratively few who are benefited By
protection If what James G.. Blains
has said proves anything. 1t is that bust
ness prosperity must come through the
success of agriculture as it did in thost
eleven years, but when We attempt tC
stimulate manufacturing by robbing agri
culture, we simply kill the goose to ge
the golden egg"
The democrats are to have pole rails
ing at Hillsdale, and Mark Hauberg say
they are going to have the longest pole
We tried to get Mark to vote for prohi.
hition but he SAID, mo, the greenbsck
ers are all going democratic" Isn't tina
just awful? MULTUM IN PARvo.
