cent engagement in Boston young artist
Of that city wrote to Ellen Terry requesting
her to come TO his studio and see port Ealt
Of her in the character Of Portia that he had
painted. which. he ingeniously added, every
body was highly pleased with. Miss Terry
was interested by tic enthusiasm of the
writer, and asked Mr.. Irving TO accom- eany
her TO the studio. When HIe artist was Wis
tied and the preliminary conversation over,
the young painter pe-TousIy drew aside the
curtain and displayed the much-praIsed
portrait to view. Miss Terry, although she
was at first disappointed IN the picture, was
too kind-he4rIed TO express her sincere
opinion about it. 'sIndeol," she said. with

Mr.. Joseph Fifer, the Republican candi-
date for Governor Of Illinois, in his recent
speech at Sprin gfeld paid his respects 10
the tariff question il these words:
81 do not say, and l do not believe, that
the present tariff act is perfect. The Re-
publican party long ago set the example OF
revising the tariff, and may be relied on to
correct al It's present and its future me
qualities. But there IS one matter in which
l am fully persuaded, that the good sense Of
the American people as a whole Will con
strain them TO agree with Republican policy
and principles. and that is that the doctrines
Of the English free-trade school, under
which American manufactures would inev-
Ita0ly be confined to such simple operations
as saving wood and mending shoes, should
never be permitted to gain ascendency upon
this continent. Men who can only view the
tariff question through the free-trade cog
giles Of Richard Golden and from the stand
point occupied by the English manufacture
whose desire in the matter is his own selfish
gain, viii never be permitted by the voters
OF this Nation to lay their unwashed and
ignorant hands upon the citadel Of American
industry
= In order that TIE American laborer may
have hIs hire" continued Mr.. Fifer, 1.-The
American manufacturer must have his
reasonable profit, and home competition viii
not be trusted in vain. as all experience
proves, to prevent his profit from becoming
eXorbitant. We can not have depression IN
one branch Of industry or class Of indus
tr1es and prosperity in the rest, and that
party which falsely and dishonesty, through
appeals 10 prejudice, attempts to inci5e one
class Of American producers against anotl-
er class should be treated by the voters Of
the Nation as an enemy of this Republic and
cast into outer darkness
1t IS very evident that Illinois candidate
for Governor fully understands the phiIoso-
ply Of the free trade Us. tariff controversy,
and his convictions and views are eminent

PROTECTION AND THE FARMER.
How Agriculturists Would BE Affected BY
Free Trade-Their Twofold Interests in
ProfeefSnu

| The farmer is especially interested in the
| maintenance of policy that encourages the
! growth Of manufactures in this country.
! dis benefits from a protective tariff are
twofold. The number OF those who con-
sumo farm products is increased without a
/ CORES bonding increase in the number Of
| farmers. Villages and cities make a profta-
I bic market for many products of the farm
which would not be excepted. Hence
the greater the percentage of consum-
ers engaged il non-competing business
such as mining, manufacturing and the me-
chanic arts-the broader the farmers mar
ket and the more that those thus employed
can earn, the better customers they are Ger
tain to become. Any policy tending 10 make
the calling Of these workers less attractive,
by reducing their earnings or adding to
their hardShips, will induce some OF them
to become tillers Of the soil and compel all
Of them to observe increased economy IN
purchasing the necessaries Of life.
The free-trade philosopher IS accustomed
TO dismiss these facts with a wave OF the
same hand with which he points 70 his
favorite refuge, 1.-The markets OF the
world ready to absorb the agricultural
surplus Of the country. The folly Of such
dependence becomes apparent when it IS
found that these convenient receDtacle5 for
that surplus OF farm products, which the
free traders policy would entail, are al
ready quite well supplied. The people Of
Europe viii take no more wheat, corn
meat etc, than necessity compeIs them TO
buy, and Of these they VIII bIy from Amer
lea only what they can get here upon bet
ter terms than elsewhere. OF farm prod
uctS-except cotton and tobacco-but
eight per cent. now goes abroad, the home
market consumes the remainder, and Of
this large proportion could never be
shipped long distance from home, 10
matter how great the demand might be.
The preachers of free trade. who, like the
London Times, can not rest while the
United States are unsubdUed,n have ad-
dressed themselves especially 10 voting
farmers. Not long since tons of pamphlets
written by & member OF the Golden Club.
and printed IN London, were scattered
throughout the Western States. In these
our farmers were pictured as ground down
by extortions made possible b. protective
tariff, which they were urged to throw of,
and demand free trade with the world as a
pGnacea for all their Ills. Upon the string
thus attuned to British interests free-trade
advocates have since steadily harped-untu
the question Of reserying our home markets
for the benefit OF the people by whose ener-
gy they have been built up. or handing them
over as q free gift to foreigners, has become
the foremost issue IN Presidential cam
paigni Should there oe-can there be any
