ROBERT 7. LINooLN, who has recently
returned from Europe, when asked how
the English people felt i'll regard to the
presidential election in this country,
said: "They are nearly all free traders,
and they would like the Democrats to
win; the English are nearly all Demo
Gratis. It is to their interest to be so.
They will be more benefited than any
body else if the Democratic theory of free
trade is adopted here"

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND il very econ
omicaly inclined when it comes TO veto
ing bills for the relief of poor soldiers and
the widows of the men who died on the
battlefield; but who ever heard of Mr..
Cleveland objecting to any of the appro-
priatiops for the current expenses OF the
White House, which in the aggregate are
very considerable, and all of them addi-
tional to his salary of $50 900 per annum.

button

IL.
Mr. Clarkssn, of the National Repub-
lican committee, speaking of President
Cleveland's subscription of $40 900 to the
campaign expenses of the National Dem
ocratic committee, says that mo president
has ever felt called upon before to con-
tribute to the campaign fund for his own
election" And be adds:
am sure no Republican president ever
did such thing. But the Republicans
ruled in an age that the people had not
been educated up to civil-service reform.
We were wicked fellows, and were not
supposed to know much about the pro-
prieties. Frankly, | think Mr.. Cleve-
land has committed a serious if not crimi-
nal act, il he has contributed TO the cam
paign fund The only Inference is that
be is anxious to hold on to the office, and
is trying to buy his way to public favor.

Price for the Republican nomination for
senator of the 32d district, did graceful
act in Withdrawing from the contest in

For forty-fve ballots both developed equal
strength, when in spirit of harmony Mr..
Mills withdrawn act that rebounds
greatly to his credit and shows the manli-

Free Trade and the Single Tax on
Land.


If their asseveratlons are to be believed
the farmer is the especial pet of the free
trade attorneys All along the "reform"
ranks from White House to frontier
cabin, from the ponderous daily paper of
the metropolis to the smallest cross-road
orator-are to be heard wailings over the
hard fate of the farmer, compelled to aid
in making everybody rich but himself
To reverse all this be is urged to vote for
free trade, as with that will come lighter
taxation, increased prices for farm pro-
ducts aud other desired blessings. The
policy of compelling foreigners to pay for
,he privilege of using the markets of this
country is denounced as vicious, inequit-
able and illogical" the cause of low prices
for products and most other inconven-
fences the farmer is forced to encounter.
Hence, it is claimed that all farmers
should support the "tariff reform" party.
But there is another class of voters whose
preiudces are not to be thus excited-a
class whose interests are supposed to lie
in an opposite direction-aDd to these an
appeal is made Of an altogether different
character. In certain Eastern localities
the appeal is made to voters to support
free trade as the surest and speediest
means of abnlishing all forms of taxation
except taxes on lands; and there has been
selected as the leader of this wing of the
free trade forces Mr.. Henry George, who
has already abandoned the United Labor
party he aided in building up, and taken
the field for Cleveland and Free Trade"
The New York Star, an administration
organ, opens its report Of a recent meeting
in that city with the exulting remark,
"Henry George has girded up his loins,
and is determined to 60 forth to slay the
dragon of Protection" In his first speech
this dragon-slayer euloglzed and proposed
cheers for President Cleveland, and other
wise aided in the passage of the following:
WHEREAS, reduction of tariff duties,
however slight, is step toward the abol-
ition of all taxes OH the products of indus
try, and their consequent transmission TO
land values,
"Resolred, That as advocates OF the
single tax on land values we pledge our
votes and efforts to assist in securing the
success of the Democratic national ticket"
In pursuance of which committee was
appointed "for the distribution of single
tax free trade literature;" and vote
passed to "work conformity with the New
York Free Trade club" in furtheripg the
objects of the meeting.
Here is an aspect of the movement in
behalf of free trade which it is well for
the farmers of the United States to SER
iously contemplate before making up their
minds TO assist the Golden club and its
American allies in changing our existing
fiscal policy for one dictated in the inter-
est of foreign and rival nation. When

THE hollowness of the pretense of the
administration to being an exponent OF
civil service reform has just been ex-
emplihed in Chicago. Edward Delaney.
letter carrier for twelve years, and a
good one, received notice from Escher to
"come down" with an assessment for par

was indiscreet in showing Escher's notice

same time that he could not afford to give
$25, or any other sum. Monday last be
received notice of discharge frsm Mr.

Yes, my son, the lamb gambols on
the green. know, and so you weakly
justify yourself when you gamble on
the red. But observe, my son, the
lamb gambols only when it is very
young; when it is an awkward, long
legged. idiotic-looking eternally bla-a-
ting lamb. When it has more sense it
ceases to gambol. And take its whole
life, if it is not butchered to make it
boarder's holiday in the midst of its
gambols it is shorn about as often as .
gambols. That's you, my boy. Get
through with it before it gets through
with you. All me, every time look at
the lamb am maddened by the thought
that he will never be safe until he is too
tough Tor chops, and wears his horns
in spiral bang that makes him too
callous to be fit playmate for the CHI
dren and too unsympathetic to be en-
joyed Of the dogs. Oh, that's why
you're living 30 fast, Ell? Because YOU
want TO be old? Well, yes; only YOU
don't want to do all your living with
your mouth and stomach. Give your
brains little chAnoe.-Rrookyyn Essss.

Small Doses of Drugs Preferable to .
Large Consumption.
II one must err, it is safer to err on
the side of small rather than large
doses. If a small dose is given, nature
will have her full powers; while it is
possible, by large doses so to derange
and confuse the system, that the native
and true recuperative powers are
wholly inefficient. Indeed, while nat
ure, or an internal curative agency, is
constantly curing and healing scratches,
cuts and the like, removing slight colds,
feverishness, inflammations and simi-
lar arrangements of this wonderful
frame so fearfully and wonderful
ly made" in fact almost performing
miracles by the employment of those
potent and valuable medicines, pure
air, water, sunlight, cleanliness, diet,
exercise, ETC., ETC., it is the solemn
duty OF the mother, the nurse and the
physician to act as aids-labor in har-
mony with the Great Physician. When
they are unwilling to do so, they will
show their good sense, if possessed OF
that valuable commodity, by attending
to their own affairs; by doing nothing
for the sick beyond supplying natures
medicines. air, light, etc. Nature will
work alone better than she can when
all her plans are thwarted by ignorance
and false views; and yet she courts aid
and loves cooperation. Let no one
infer that the writer never uses med
icines, only that he does not wish to ad-
wise them at random, or encourage any
one who is not intelligent in this mat
ter, one who has not given it much
study and thought, to endanger human
life by mistakes and blunders.-Dr.
Hanaford, in Golden Rule.
