PRINCETON, KY, Oct. &c. --tche
largest gathering of farmers and
tobacco raisers that ever assem-
bled in Caldwell county met in
convention here yesterday after.
noon, and Mr.. L. B. Sims, one of the
largest tobacco raises in Southern
Kentucky, was made permanent
chairman. In his address he stated
the objects of the convention to be to
unite the farmers and tobacco plant
ers as a unit against the cul-
tivation OF tobacco in 1888,
and he gave many reasons
why farmers should begin looking
into their future interests; that a
the markets of the world were now
glutted with an ovel, surplus of old
tobacco, and the barns of this en-
tire land were filed to overfiowiug
with the new crop, thus paralysing
the demand for the weed, hence the
product of the farm and plantation
was valueless. Addresses were made
by quite number of Others
among whom was Mr.. M. Y. In,
gram, of Clarksville. The result OF
the meeting was the adoption of res
olutions declaring That all interested
would abstain from raising tobacco
next year.
A similar convention will be held
at Bells, KY, next Saturday.

which it unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The President of the

Kansas for Poor People

Fifty per cent of tie present pop
ulation Of Kansas began life in this
state poor Conditions were favora-
bile. The open prairies invited settle
ments. Farms were opened in year
and the first crop paid for the whole
tract. Thousands of our most sub
stantial farmers began with next to
nothing. So common was it to be
poor in the beginning that men and
women of the pioneers stood together
as poor people and protected one an
other first in the ope:., field and after
wards in the Legislature. Men and
women grew rich as the years came
and went, and the wisdom OF the
laws and the laws themselves remain
ed; and SO grew up system of legal
protection to poor people which has
been one of the most powerful infu-
ences in the wonderful development
of this state
Kansas work people are treated
literally by the legislature Of the
state. The wages of laborer, if he
has a family to support, cannot be
taken for debt within a period of
three month; that is, he is entitled to
three months of his wages, exempt
from attachment and execution. His
family has the benefit of that. And
the exemption laws are liberal, al
though no personal property is ex-
nmpt from execution on judgment
for labor and work performed. A Ia
Dorer can collect debt due him for
work when a merchant could not col

1t is an old saying: Go from home
to find out the news. We take the
following clipping from the Chicago
Tribune of March och:
THE ROCK ISLANDS COLORADO ExTEN.
The directors of the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific have approved the
plans for the location of the new Col
Orado extention from the state line to
Colorado Springs: The old survey
has been considerably modified for
the reason that the Union Pacific had
surveyed and purchased a right of
way for a line from Colby, Kan, to
River Bent, Colo, a distance of 12O
miles, calculating to shorten its Kan
sas Pacific line This Union Pacific
cut off paralleled the Rock Island
survey between the two points named.
In order to avoid serious competition
aud complications, negotiations bet
ween the two companies were COM
menced, and tie Union Pacific finally
agreed to sell its survey and right of
way to the Rock Island-the latter to
abandon its own survey and build up
on the Union Pacific's between Colby,
Kan, and River Bent, Colo, and the
Union Pacific to use that section
jointly with the Rock Island af:er its
completion. The arrangement was
approved by the directors Of the Rock
Island. The papers have been sent
to Boston for the approval of the
Union Pacific directors. As soon Is
they are returned work will be CON-
menced and the road completed thro'
to Pueblo As soon as possible. The
directors OF the Rock Island also de-
clared their regular quarterly divi-
dend.
Whether the above dispatch be true
remains to be seen, but at this date,
from all We can learn, no contract has
been concluded between The two com
panies, but negotiations to the above
effect are pending.

Free Trade-Low Wages.

Free traders want free trade be
cause, they say, it will cheaper goods
Let us make an application of thi.
theory.
Why will free trade cheaper goods:
Because, as democrats hold, foreign
goods are cheaper than our domestic
product. Why are they cheaper:
Because wages abroad are lower thar
wages paid in the United States.
Suppose that instead of the product
the European factories were brought
over to the United States with theil
poorly paid workingmen and operated
bv the side of American factories
with their high priced labor. how
long would it be before the American
factories would all be closed and the
foreign factories have all the trade?
This would bring cheaper goods, as
the free traders say. But if Ameri-
can workingmen had no work, who
would buy the goods? What would
be the condition of this prosperous
nation?
1t is not practicable to remove the
foreign factories with their operatives
across the water; but any working
man or any thoughtful person can see
that if foreign goods are not taxed,
and they are permitted to come to
this country free, then to all intents
and purposes the foreign factory isl
removed to this country. If the fac
tory Itself IS not here, all that it pro-
duces by the aid of cheap labor is !
landed on our shores to compete with
the product of American labor.
Free trade papers like the ALBANY Ar
gus intimate that if wages were re-
duced by this competitor our working
men would not suffer, because it
would cost them less to live. This is
The sum and substance of free trade
argument. We will let the working
men themselves answer it, They best
know how-by making personal ap-
olication of t.-Philadelphia Press.

Sugar Product OF Europe.

To the Editor Of The Press;
Will you please inform me to what extent
the bounty on sugar increased the product
and lowered the price in Germany, thereby
giving additional employ ment to labor. Very
truly, c. IL. VERT.
GEoResrowN, Del. May -,
The history of the sugar industry of
Germany illustrates what may be done by
a powerful government directing an indus
try into new chanuel, as Germany has
done the beet sugar industry. 1t also
shows the unutterable folly of theorists
preaching free trade so long AS the world
Is not one community and nations have
the power to divert industries bv legisla-
ton from old into new channels. thereby
cheapening the product TO the consumer
and adding wealth to the protected nation.
In 1874 the total production of beet
sugar in Europe was l,o25.o 200 tons: in
1884 1t had reached 2,240,o00 tons nearly
1000, 600 tons of which is probably made
in Germany. The cultivation of this
sugar was fostered by government pro-
lection and the manufacture directed by
the skill and science Of great nations like
France and Germany.
The result Is that the price of sugar has
been cheapened, and the nations protect
ing this industry are not only independent
Of cane sugar, but are sending their re-
hned sugar made from beet root to the
very tropics. The product, it will be seen,
has been doubled within comparatively
recent time and the price reduced half,
perhaps more.-N. Y. Press.

Unity and Victory.

All observing friends Of the Republican
party see plainly that its future prospects
are bright aud fun of encouragement
The best public sentiment of the country
IL strongly opposed to the policy and
programme of the party now in possession
sentatives Of the vast manufacturing in
terests have just reasons for alarm in the
combined efforts now being made by
President Cleveland, the Bourbon Democ-
racy, and the foreign propagandists
represented by the Golden Club, for the
overthrow Of the Protective system,
which has accomplished such vast beue-
fetal results for the Nation, and which
all of the wisest American statesman have
favored from the days Of Washington and
Hamilton to the present time. The real
question is--shall the United States be
guided by American ideas and for Ameri-
can interests, or shall it be governed by
foreign ideas and In the interests of
foreigners.
The issue being plain and of vast inn
portance, Republicans should arise to
the level of the occasion and discharge their
duties in the spirit of the loftiest and
truest patriotism. To this end let all M
nor interests and obstructing personal
aims and ambitions be put aside, and all
factional passions, prejudiccs and plans
abandoned and forgotten. The great Re-
publican leader in his last Paris letter has
set an example of personal-abnegation and
generous sacrifice, which all loyal mem
bers Of the party would do well to initiate.
Let the entire Republican party and all
other friends of Protection unite as one
man, and be inspired by the indomitable
resolution to win a national victory in
November. Principles and not men
should be upermost in the minds of the
Republican millions as well as of their
representatives and leaders. Who shall
be the candidates for this place or that
must be subordinate to the patriotic pur-
pose Of gaining victory for the country's
welfare and of restoring the Government
to that great and forever memorable party
which saved the Union from dismcmber-
ment, abolished slavery, and gave the
Nation the Protective policy whose rich
results have no parallel in history.
