A Suggestive Extract from Governor For

A Suggestive Extract from Governor For
aker's lsichmond (Ind.) speech.
Let me say to al who want to know
who Harrison is: Think Of the Repub-
lican party. Think Of its patriotism,
is heroism. its sacrifices; think of its
humanity. its morality and its match
less craftsmanship. Think of its great
leaders-of Lincoln. Seward, Chase,
Sumner, Morton, Thaddeus Stevens,
Grant, Garfield and Blaine. Recall
their exalted characters, their learn
ing. their culture and refinement. their
great powers of intellect, their love of
liberty and their zeal for human
equality. Remember what they and
their party have done to preserve Ma
tional unity. maintain inviOlate our
National honor, and to promote human
welfare. Fill your mind with this
splendid chapter of our history. and
then conceive of q man who has been
one of the prominent controlling
factors and chief inspirations in it all,
and you have Benjamin Harrison.
Such a man needs no other or further
eulogy; for when you say of him that
he is typical of all the broad humanity,
noble generosity, devoted Christianity,
unflinching patriotism, soldierly hero
ism, and unexalnpled magnanimity
that the Republican party has dis
played. you have accorded him the
highest virtues he can possibly possess.
All this can be said of Benjamin Har-
rison truthfuliy and without exaggera-

Protection has reduced the price Of
rails from $50 per ton down to $3l.50
per ton during the last twenty years.
Protection has given America the
cheapest freights OF any Nation in the
world. In 1874 the average rate Of
carrying freight over Michigan rail-
ways was 37-100 cents per ton per
mile. In 1887 the rate was only SO CT
a cent per mile.
The rate over the Michigan Central
was but 63-100 of a cent, over the Lake
Shore 6S-1OO of u cent. and over the
Grand Trunk 62-lQ0 of cent, while
the average in England is about II
cents.
Protection has built up steel manu-
featuring in this country from nothing
in 1867, till last year we produced over
1000. 900 tons, while Great Britain put
out but ISL, 900 tons.
Protection has given tens of thou
sands of men employment at good
wages in steel rail manufactures. ard
last year kept $50. 100000 a. home in
the channels of trade that would have
gone abroad had there been free trade
in steel rails.

The Horse and the Ass.

1t was a carewOrn beast of burden,
who had long but narrow pasture on
the highway. and he looked over the
fence and addressed well-fed horse
in a rich meadow: MY equine friend,
open the bars and let me in, and will
assist you in lowering the surplus.''
"A surplus does not worry me as
much as q deficit would" remarked
the horse, q he slowed away some
clover.
but look at this blessed law of con-
petition. and how it would equali1e
the burden of masticstion. remarked
the stranger.
There is no competition about it..
remarked the horse; II am in the
meadow and you are in the road"
But" remarked the stranger,
"don't you think few more feeder.
would stimulate business?''
Without doubt when the feed got
short. slyly remarked the horse.
"Well. but this fence was only q
war measure, and now we are at peace.
why not take it down." and the
stranger sighed.
Tho fence works tip top AID the
feed gets taller every year, so jog
along. my friend"
And the stranger picked another
thistle in the road and moved along.
