Sold For a Song.

Savannah News: A. Ruddatt. a
pensioner of the German army, who
lived near Glenmore the past three
years, recently sold his ten acre farm,
with a fair house, two head of cattle
and his crop for $50. In order to re-
tain his place on the pension rolls it
was necessary for him to be in Ger
many once every ten years. AS he and
his family had been away from the
Fatherland nine years, they sacrificed
their place to raise means to return on.

IL is noticed that the shrewdest speakers who
address workingmen refrain from advocating free
trade.-LNew York Sun.
This remark applies to the political area
comprised within the limits of New York
city, an area which is commonly supposed to
be unreservedly given over to the Democracy
and all its errors. But it is a fact under
stood by the shrewdest observers that New
York city is not SO thoroughly given over to
free trade as 1t is to other Democratic errors
There is, 1t is true, within its limits large
element dominated by the interests of the
great importing houses. There are also many
doctrinaire free trade voters as we'll as sew
eral powerful newspapers Of the same stamp.
In public discussion, in noise, in social infiu-
ence this free trade influence may appear to
carry everything before 1t in the Democratic
ranks and even make some impression
among the members of the Republican party
in the city. But it should not be forgotten
that New York is above all great indus
trial city, inhabited by quiet and toiling
thousands whose appearance in political
controversies is limited to the simple exer-
else OF the right Of citizenship on election
day. They aIe employed largely in protected
Industries, and are In sympathy to a great
extent with the industrial policy that has
created for them the opportunities of labor.
This fact is well understood by astute New
York Democrats like Mr.. Edward Cooper,
through whose influence the platform of the
last Democratic State convention was made
to give wide berth to the Mills bill. Mr.
Cooper knew that there had never been a
genuine free trade fight in New York city.
The mere suggestion of such an issue in 1880
cut down the Democratic city majority to
A,273. and gave the State to the Republicans.
A still more vivid idea of the power of the
labor vote was given in 1886 WHEN the upris-
ing for Henry George nearly overpowered
the Democracy and would have done so quite
had not timid Republicans gone to the aid
Of Hewitt. Henry George, it is true, was
and is free trader, but that issue was not
at all involved in that contest, which was the
fight of labor and which showed how great is
the influence of labor in the fibre of the New
York Democracy. With the memory of such
events fresh in their minds they would be
very foolish orators who should preach free
trade to the laborers of New York city.
Fortunately foolish orators are the kind the
Democrats have been employing this year.

Our esteemed Democratic fellow citizens
who depend upon the Eastern Argus for
their facts must have risen from pelusal of
the despatch from Lafayette. Indiana. which
1t contained yesterday in thoroughly per-
picked state of mind. The despatch In
question started off in this way:
There is no doubt in the minds of those who
nave known MT. Blaine for any length of time
and have seen him recently, that he is not the
same man, physically, that he was four years ago.
He has lost much of his old time fire and yigor,
sna were ne ever g anxious to elect Harrison his
did without seriously endangering his health.
short way further on after setting out
that Mr. Blaine's presence In Indiana had
been ungrateful to Harrison. and that Mr..
Blaine took offence at the alleged GOODNESS
OF his treatment and refused to speak at the
Tippecanoe battle ground the despatch pro-
ceeds as follows:
Harrison's " anagers, for the purpose Of con-
cealing the difficulty, had it bruited about that
the plumed knight was suffering from a cold
when, in fact, he never was In better health or
inner voice, as was manifested by his cordial
greeting OF friends who gathered at the depot to
see him of. A correspondent was close TO Mr.
Blaine while he was entertaining his friends and
there WAS not the slightest indication Of hoarse-
ness In his voice, or any debility in his appear
ance.
The same man who in the beginning OF the
despatch is represented as having ''lost much
of his old time fire and vigor." few lines
further on appears as never in better
health" and without the slightest indica-
ton Of hoarseness in his voice or any debility
10 his appearance" The author of this des-
patch appears to be mixture of liar and
fool.

One objection which the government nj
Washington have to paying the Sioux the
dollar and quarter an acre asked by the
latter for their reservation lands Is novel but
at the same time seems reasonable. The
government fears that the Sioux will have
too much money, and hence will miss the
stimulus to work and hence to progress In
civilization. The example of the Usage
indians Of Indian Territory justities the gov
eminent anxiety about the Sioux. The
Osages are the wealttiest community in the
United states. They have, in addition the
possession Of plenty of lands for their sup
port and for farming purposes. fund in the
United States Treasury, the interest of
which is sufficient to give every family Of
five persons $500 per year. They have so
much money that one half the annual income
is withheld by the government, and yearly
goes to increase the large principal. The
result of this wealth is total stoppage of
the civilization Of the Osages. They do not
work themselves, but hire white men to
work their lands. They also cling to their
tribal relations and refuse to take land In
severalty. Bearing in mind how apt a
plenty of money is to spoil a civilized, edu-
Gated and refined man, wise and paternal
government may reasonably look with dis
trust upon its probable effect on bowling
