Cleveland to GO upo, farm when he

about an ex-presidents return TO old
pursuits; on the contrary, it is highly be
coming under democratic institutions
that he should do so. But the Tribune's
advice is not very bad. The farm will do
for ex-presidents if they have money en-
ough to bny one, and can extract com
fort theretrom. There is that in il, too,
that smacks of the homsly aud rugged
simplicity of earlier days that made the
republic possible. Besides, what might

the exodus from the soil that has become

A Convincing Illustration.

The Labor Signal, an Indiana paper
supported by the wage-earners, pub
fishes this Illustration of the high tariff
theory of protection to labor: "a few
years ago | spent a month in the Mich
igan pineries, and while there the mill
owners got an extension of the great
American system of protection to the
amount Of 81 per thousand feet of lum-
ber additional tariff. This added about
$50 day to the net profits of each mill
The employes-averaging eight or ten
to the mill-thoughtit it was good time
to ask for their wages to be advanced
from $1.50 per day to $l.75. This
would make an addition to the expense
of the mills of from 81 to $3.50 per
day, and would still leave $4750 to $B
per day profit from the increased tarllI
As the tariff is exclusively for the ben
eft of the working-men, of course the
whole amount belonged to them; out
being liberal, as working-men always
are, they offered to divide, and give
the mill owners 95 per cent. OF the en-
hanced profit. What do you suppose

"wil Richmond 90 wet or dry this

object. He was made chairman and T. q.
Glenn. Esq, acted ss secretary.
The matter was discussed at great length,
and the following was unanimously adopted:
Re.oied. That we deem II expedient 10
have local option election and that petitions
be circulated IT once.
After transacting considerable other BUSH
ness the meeting adjourned for one week.
The law says that the Judge shall order a

Tho Maro Tobaceo Contract.

4 telegram from Washington says:
secretary Whitney yesterday conducted
preliminary examination in regard to the
contract awarded 70 Richmond firm for
furnishing 10000 pounds Of tobacco fer the
Use OF the navy. The firm made the highest
bid, at IS cents per pound. Paymas,er-Gen.
ersl Fulton, who made the award, claimed
that the firms tobacco was superior TO that
OF the other bidders, but three OF the latter
went to Secretary Whitney and demanded
an INVESTIGATION"
The Richmond lrm alluded TO is p. II.
Mayo & Brother, and the contract has been
made. SO the investigation can hardly make
any difference. Their bid was accepted be-
cause the tobacco was superior 10 any other,
or at any rate came nearer In quality to TIE
sample, although in price 1t was the highest.
For some years Richmond manufacturers
have not been bidding on these contracts
because the standard was so low, but the
Navy Department have recently raised the
grade. for the relson that the sailors, to
whom all the tobacco Il sold, would not use
the commoner grades any longer.
