Why carpets that sold for 81 40 yard

Several of these industries are literally
created by the protective tariff; yet the
products are selling at present for much
less than they sold before the protective
tax was put on. And yet we are told by
the President that a protective tariff is a
heavy burden upon the people,

are a Republican or Democrat. There
are honest men, patriotic citizens, good
Christians in both parties. Only don I
want TO see you walk up to the polls and
cast your first vote with the party:
That upheld human slavery as a divine

That bought and sold men. women and
babies like so many mules;
That fired on Fl. Sumter and the Amer

That for nearly FIVE years fought to de.

That opposed the issue of greenbacks
when the government was fairly perish

That organized mobs and riots to op.

That swept American commerce from
the seas with armed privateers;
That polls its heaviest ajorities in the
most vicious and ignorant precincts;
That is strongest in the States where
the percentage of illiteracy is the greatest
That has opposed every liberal and
progressive measure of legislation during
the last quarter of a century;
That was the defender of slavery;
That is the defender Of Mormonsm;
That slandered Garfield and
That assassinated Lincoln.
Now. as have said before my son.

the record belongs, and then forever keep

The Wards aud Not the Paupers.

Iowa State Register.
Gen. Alger uttered noble sentiment at
the reunion Of the Army of the Cumber-
land when he said The comrades of our
gallant Sheridan ought to be the Nations
wards, and not the Nations paupers. :"
He spoke at reunion of old soldiers.
There were no politics in the meeting.
But the sentiment he uttered raises a
question which is legitimate issue in
politics
Who has brought it 10 pass that the
comrades of Sheridan and every other
gallant soldier are regarded as the Ma
tons paupersI
Who was 1t that on the floor Of Con.
gress insutingly declared that he was in
favor Of having every State take care of
its own paupers meaning disabled Union
soldiers and their dependent familiess 1t
was Democrat.
Who was it that referred to the de-
pendent pension bill as bill for the re-
lief of paupersY 1t was Democrat.
Who voted almost solidly against that
bill and begrudged the disabled veterans
the pittance which it was proposed to
give them2 Democrats.
Who vetoed that bill and showed that
he would not give the gallant comrades
treatment that common gratitude would
suggest for even common service? a
Democrat.
Who has vetoed pension bills on tech
nical grounds that were only discovered
after long and painstaking search? A
Democrat.
Who has written insulting veto mes

Who has turned out IF office Union

amazing ignorance of one who knows SO
little OF industries that he is not aware
that more persons are employed in pro-
ducing the materials than In fashioning
them into manufactured articles; more i'm
growing wool than in wool manufacture;
more in mining and smelling ores than in
their manufacture; and so in almost every
department Of industry Mr. Cleveland's
friends will interpret his course as they
please. But the fact remains, and is
known TO the voters. that the wages Of
all labor must inevitably be affected by
turning out OF employment any consider
able part OF the laborers. and that the
number who now fiud support in mining,
in smelling ores. in chopping and saving
lumber, in growing wool. aud in pro.
duction of other raw materials, is so great
and so important that 1t can not be de-
prived of employment nor seriously

A strange scene was witnessed the other
day in New York. An Old man named
Michael German was released from the
Sing Sing prison after a service there of
over thirty-two years for the killing OF a
comrade in 1855. He went int prison
when he was 30 and W he is over 81
years of age He was absolutely stupetied
when he CT ssed the Brooklyn bridge in an
elevated railway car and in many other
ways his establishment was unbounded.
Think of man serving over ihirty-two
years of his life in penitentiary! What

our dear fathers.
Mr.. Vincent while laboring with his
oats on Friday, was overcome by the
heat. Aid was at once summoned and
all was dore that willing hands could
do. But all was of no avail. He died
soon after being overcome by the heat
AT half past six in the evening, the
spark of life had taken its flight, and
death claimed him as one of his num-
Der, without further warning.
Mr.. Vincent was born in the Shenan-
doah valley, Frederick county, Va. on
Feb. IL, 1885, at which place he lived
for some time. He was 3 brother of
