FREE TRADE A TAX.


! wonder if the peach growers Of this PEN
iusula realize how free trade would affect
them ? The bulk Of the peaches shipped to
Boston are consumed by the factory and mill
hands Of Lowell, Lynn, Chelsea, Manches-
ter, watham, Maiden, Cambridge, East Cam
bridge, Cambridgeport, someryille and
Charlestown, and growers know from Boston
prices this past season, that that market was
failure. Why Well, to any one who
happened to be on that market and we'll
enough acquainted with the buyers -as the
writer was-to ask them why they could net,
or would not, pay the prices as in former
years; their reply would have been to them
as it was to me, namely '"rhis is Presi-
dental election year, and our trade is direct
with the factory hands of our different man
ufacturing towns. When we try to sell them
peaches, as formerly, we are answered with
a negative shake of the head. We ask them
why they decline to buy, and this answer is
drawn from them Peaches are a Injury
that we, as poor men, can do without; and
with Free Trade and the closed doors Of our
mills staring us in the face more than ever
before. we must do without these luxuries
and save our money for our days of enforced
idleness; which will surely follow ifthe Dem
ocratic Free Trade policy goes into effect"
Can you blame them? No. When our
mills are runnidg on full time, and oHr fac
tory hands receiving full pay, they think
nothing of paying us from $500 to $500 per
basket for peaches. When we used to get
those prices we could well afford to pay you
commission men $3.50 to $500 per basket,
and those prices would give your shippers
some money; but if we are to have free trade
forced upon us. why your shippers will not
get enough for their peaches to pay the
freight on them from Delaware to this city
which, understand, is from forty to forty
five cents per basket. Surely YOU have no
Free Trade advocates down in Delaware,
have you ?"
The writer was forced to admit that we
had. Peach growers will you ponder a
moment ere you cast your ballot for Free
Trade. ECHO.

QUEER PEOPLE.

This is the title of the latest, and by all
odds the most charming book for little chill
dren we have even seen. Its fables, or stor-
les, are delightful, but the illustrations are
simply immense.
The author, Palmer Cox, is a new star in
the juvenile armament, but he shines with
unique brilliancy. His charming fables
rival those of the world-famed Esop, and he
far outshines that celebrated literary comet
by his inimitable illustrations. He dresses
up his birds, animals, insects, giants, fairies,
goblins, etc, in grotesque style, and makes
them reason, talk, dance, and cut up all sorts
of the oldest pranks imaginable, affording
infinite delight as well as excellent instruc-
ton to the young. The issue of his book
Queer People" has brought perfect ova-
tion of praise from the brightest men in the
land, For instance, Gen Clinton B Fisk
says "H has set 0iY children 5Oild 50ifh dc.
Hghf," and Col. Russell H. Conwell, the
famous lecturer, says Don't send me ar
other such book, for I CAM gel my chill
d,eN 10 6ed."
The famous statesman diplomat and wit,
Sunset Cox, says "7He Ks0eer K-abeJs are
simply incombaya6le," while the distin-
guished theologian, DR.. Howard Crosby says:
"7heY haze the fascination Haf belongs 10
ASsob and UNcle RemNs," and the venera-
bic poet, DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes writes;
Tam sorry IhaVe not a nursery yJuH Of lif-
lie folks to enjoy its bright pictures and
stories"
Hsop's fables are enjoyed by old and
young, and are quoted by the greatest orators
and surely these equally charming stories
so profusely and exquisitely illustrated will
charm young and old for generations TO
come.
The sale of this book will surely be enor-
nous. It is published by the well-known
house of Hubbard Bros, Philadelphia, Chi
cago and Kansas City, to whom any persons
desiring an agency should apply.

THE approaching election will prob
ably be the most hotly contested which
this generation will witness. The
questions of the campaign are without
doubt most momentOus, and all the
energy of the two recognized leading
parties has been put into the canvass.
Subtle intrigue and cunning debate, las
we'll as a great deal of money has been
and will yet be lavished on the doubt
ful and wavering.
The best intellect of the nation is
divided in opinion as to the most judi
ciOus path for it to choose, and each
party seems equally sincere in its doc
trine; which in either case is but an
opinion more or less uncertain ia its
result. The result Of this great con-
test will of necessity be hailed with
delight by the one party, while the
other, with grief no less sincere than
the victOr's rejoicing, will sit in sack
cloth and await the ruin which they
have predicted would follow. In either
event the result will not be a speedy
disaster, as some may expect. Con-
siderable time is necessary for the
most ultra policy to affect the masses,
and the tendency toward a worse state
of affairs will be slow, in case a mis-
take is made, but none the less sure.
There are certain constitutional checks
which will be a safeguard to the re-
public and give the people an oppor-
tunity to see the dangers before they
become so great, or nave gone so far,
as to be nnremediable. All that any
individual can do in this matter, is to
vote the true sentiment Of his mind;
but he should also be careful that he
has used due diligence in making him
self acquainted with the real necessi-
ties, and the right methods of provid-
ing for them, which the campaign has
brought to notice.
IL every voter will intelligently con-
slider the questions at issue and vote
hOnestly,without party prejudice, the
candidate who represents what seems
to him the most advantageous politi-
cal policy, and will then watch the
result and carefully correct in future
elections, the mistakes he sees he has
made in the past, the result cannot be
otherwise than TO continue national
prosperity and honor, and have this
sunny home of freedom and good gov
ernment continued example of the
advantages of that perfect civilization
which is only attainable under a Re
publican form of government.

A Business-Like Offer

For many years the manufacturers of DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy have offered in good
faith, $500 reward for a case of nasal catarh
which they cannot cure. The remedy is sold
by druggists at only so cents. This wonder
full remedy has fairly attained a worldwide
reputation. If you have dull, heavy head
ache, obstruction of the nasal passages, dis
charges falling from the head into the throat,
sometimes profuse, watery and acrid; at
others, thick, tenacious, mucous, purulent,
bloody and putrid; if the eyes are weak,
watery and inhamed; if there is ringing in
the ears, deafness, hacking or coughing to
clear the throat, expectoration of offensive
matter, together with scabs from ulcers; the
voice being changed and has a nasal twang;
the breath offensive; smell and taste i'm
paired; sensation of dizziness, with mental
depression, hacking cough and general de-
bility, you are suffering from nasal catarrh.
She more complicated your disease, the
greater the number and diversity of symp-
toms. Thousands Of cases annually. with
out man ifesting halfof the above symptoms,

No disease is so common, more deceptive and

The following is an extract from a letter
written home by Mr. Kennan while he was
in Russia investigating the exile system for
The Century magazine
The exile system is much worse than l
supposed. Mr.. IS examination of pris-
ons and study of exile system were ex-
tremely superficial. I cannot understand
how, if he really went through the Tiumen
and Tonsk forV lrding prisons, he could haye
failed to see that their condition and the con-
dition of their wretched inmates were in
many respects shocking Nobody here has
tried to conceal it from me. The acting gov
ernor ofthis province said to me very frankly
yesterday that the condition of the Tomsk
prison is ''oozhasnoi' (awful) but that he
cannot help it. = What I have pre-.
viously written and said about the treatment
of the political exiles seems to be substan-
TALLY true and accurate, at least so far as Wes-
tern Siberia is concerned, but my precon-
ceived ideas as to their character have been
rudely shaken. The Russian liberals and
revOlutionists whom 1 have met here are by
no means halfeducated enthusiasts, crazy
fanatics, or men whose mental processes it is
difficult to understand. On the contrary,
they ear simple, natural, perfectly compre-
hensible, and often singularly interesting
and attractive. One sees at once that they
are educated, reasonable, self-controlled gen
tlemen, not different in any essential respect
from ones self When write up this coun-
try for The Century, shall have to take
back some of the things that have said.
The exile system is worse than believed it
TO be, and worse than have described it. It
isn't pleasant, of course, to have to admit
that one has written upon a subject without
fully understanding it; but even that is bet
ter than trying, for the sake of consistency,
to maintain position after one sees that it
is utterly untenable.
