What is the history of the farmer
under the protective (so called tariff :
The following figures are taken from
official documents and hence are cor
rect. In 1850 the total wealth of the
United States was $1,000, 100000 one
half Of which, S4,000,00O,O00 belonged
to the farmer In 1860 the aggregated
wealth had increased to $l6,000,000,-
600 and the farmer still owned one
half or SS,000.000.O The condition
of affairs. let il be remembered, We're
under very low tariff. In 1860 the
republicans elected their president,
and soon after came into the control
of the government, in all its branches.
Among its first enactmentS was the
levyiug of high tariff tax, 10 raise
revenue and protect certain industries.
This policy prevailed and in 1880,
when the census WAS taken, il was
ascertained that our aggregate wealth
had increased to S40,0O0,O0O,O But
the farmers share was then but Sl2,-
Ol0000,000. They had not shared in
the distribution of wealth as under a
low tariff, and taken one-half, but had
to be content with about three-tenthS
and the other fellows, who shared
alike with them up to 1860, under the
new arrangements got seven-tenths,
Farmers can see by this what a high
tariff does for them.
Our farmers, mechanics. laborerS
and all our citizens closely sean the
slightest increase in the taxes assessed
upon their lands and other property
and demand good reasons for such in
crease.
And yet they seem to be expected IL
some quarters, to regard the unneces
sary taxation visited upon them b,
our present rate of tariff duties will

DR.. ID. c. Davies, of Columbus, some
time since took occasion to send out
some 800 circular letters to Welsh
clergymen throughout the country,
asking their opinion of President
Cleveland. and 95 per cent of the an
swers received cordially favor his re-
election, and the sentiment of the
gentlemen is that of the great mass of
the Welsh people in this country. who
until recently have been the most
ardent republicans.

Unnecessary taxation is unjust tax
alton. And yet this is our condition.
We are annually collecting at our GUS
tom-houses, and by means of our in
ternal-revenue, taxation many millions
in excess of all legitimate public
needs. AS consequence there now
remains in the national treasury a sur
plus of more than $13O,000,00O. No
better evidence could be furnished
that the people are eXorbitantly taxed.
The extent of the superhuous burden
indicated by this surplus will be bet
ter appreciated when it is suggested
that such surplus alone represents tax
alton aggregating more than $108,OOO
in a county containing $4,000 inhab-
itants." President Cleveland's Letter
of Acceptance.

A Woman's Discovery.

Another wonderful! discovery has
been made and that too by lady in
this county, Diseases fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven years
she withstood its severest tests, but
her vital organs We're undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed necessarily and
could not sleep. She bought of us a
bottle of DR. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption and was so much re-
lieved on taking the first dose that she
slept all night and with one bottle has
been miracculously cured. Her name
is Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus write W.

Facts Worth Remembering.

IIlV NOTJN IOWN Times.
The whole earnings of labor in the
protected industries only amount to
SIS in the 800 of product. The aver
age tariff tax is $47 in 500. If for
eign labor should be twice as cheap as
our own labor. a tax of 50 on the 800
would make good the difference in
labor cost. The remaining S3S in 800
is wrung from the earnings of the
workingmen who receive no equivalent
in wages or advantage. 1t is this SIS
of protection for the sake of the pro-
lection which fills the pockets of the
few and tjlches from the pockets of
the many.

Hugh Mccullough, who was secretary
of the treasury for Lincoln, Johnson,
and Arthur, and who never voted other
than Il whig or republican ticket in his
life has declared for Cleveland and
tariff reform, and says that if his life
is spared he will vote the democratic
ticket in November. 1t begins to look
as though Mr., Fethers was right when
he said that the men who managed the
finances of the government during the
war can be trusted to settle the tariff
question now.

Prof. John Il. Parkinson.

The flatteNclle Democrat
Prof. John Il. Parkinson, vice preSi-
dent of the University of Wisconsin,
was nominated for congress in the Sd
district democratic convention held at
Monroe on Tuesday, Sept. '25. Prof.
Parkinson is a native of La Fayette
county and has been connected with
the University for 4 long time His
ability, his honesty and his moral
character are of the highest order.
The chief reason why he should be
elected in this district is because he is
and always has been tariff reformer
This district is one that should be al
most unanimously in favor of low tariff
1t is mainly an agricultural district
and cannot afford to pay the tribute it
is compelled To do to the monopolists
and millionaire manufacturers of the
east Our only hope for tariff reform
is through congress. Let us elect such
a congress.
