Now poor Quay is having m ore trouble

speak for Harrison and high taxation.
After higgling for long time about
price he got her started. He vas 20 pay
ner travelling expenses. To his dismay
he found that she took along two lady
companions whose bills he must pay also.
This he ungraoefuly did. Then she sent
in dress making and millinery bills to the
tune of $500. This broke Quay's back.
and the committee don't know what to
do. Anna is a pretty cross, sour grained
old mac by this time, and she feels that
she hns got soft specimen to deal
with. If they don't dress her up niee and
foot the bills The laugh will be on them;
aud if they do, thsy will re labeled
sold Meanwhile republican papers
are making outory that the bitter
tongued woman, no longer possessing
tho attraotivsaess of youth, embittered
by disappointment, md illy-posted on
the subject il doing more hurt than good.
She is rather q musty, old back number,
but the democratic party is solid on one
question. The republican national com
mittee must pay that milIininery bill or
resign. Stick to it, Anna, and get your
self seal skin cloak into the bargain.

said that he was dropped from the rolls
for failure to return to his regiment after
his parole aud exchange. But as he is

The advocates of tariff reform where
ever they go, are listeEed to with the
deepest interest. Mills, the principal
Trainer of the Mills blu, Carlisle, Frank
Hurd, Breckinri6ge and other well IN
formed advocates of tariff reform are
given ovations wherever they go. The
doctrine of tariff reform, of reduction of
needless taxation, of more equal bearing
of the burdens OF government, of relief
from the grinding e1tortion of trusts is
like 4 cooling rain upon dry and
thirsty land where 80 water is."

You have a Peculiarly Important Interest in
the Defeat of the Republican Party this Fall.
The farmers of the United States have
a peculiarly i'm portant special interest ia

approaching election. With reference to
internal taxation, that platform says:
"We favor the entire repeai of ell internal
reveuUe taxes rather than the surrender
of ary part of our protective system"
This plank declares not merely for the
repeal CT the whisky tax in preference to
interference with tariff taxes, but for the
abolition of all internal revenue taxes,
including that of oleomargarine. The

II is, therefore, not a war tax but q
peace tax. The declared purpose of the
law was to protect the farmers OF the
United States against the fraudulent
competition Of bogus butter sold under
the brands ofgenuine dairy produce. The
