Then you have made $4,000 in twenty-five years
out of your $50, 600 farm"
THAT appears to be about the size of it,
you haven't grown rich farming for quarter Of
century under high and burdensome tariff tax ?"
Certainly not"
And yet you began twenty five years ago with as
much or more capital than any of the millonaires
who have become rich under the operation of this
vicious tax system, misnamed protection" which
takes from the many to give to the few. Do you
know how many-or rather how few-r en- own or
control half the wealth of this country; who came
into ownership or control of ii under this same
vicious tax system ?"
Il have no idea"
II saw a curious compilation the other day, and
here it is Our total wealth of all kind is estimated
at sI5OO0O00OO0. There are five American citizens
with private fortunes averaging s50OOOOO0 each, 50
with Sl0OOOOOO 100 with 100000 zoe with $780,
900, 500 with 100000 and 1000 with $4,000 In
other words SIS persons own 500 100000 or more
than twice as much as all the actual money in the
country. A less number of men, not to exceed
1,OOO-railway magnates, princey bankers and heads
of vast protected corporations-h W absolute con-
troll equivalent almost to actual nership of S25,
O0O,OOO,OOO more. Less than 5000 men controlling
SIS of the $500 900 of wealth in the
country"
May ask you question? ?"
Proceed, Mr. Blossom"
Are any of these millionaires farmers?"
"Ne'r a one. Some of them are ranchers but they
only hold their ranches as tributary provinces"
Just so. The farmer doesn't seem to have got
under the right wing Of the protection bird. He
seems to have come in contact with its beak and
claws"

The King of the Crops.

From the PHILADELPHIA Ledger.
The importance of the wheat, of the cotton, of the
tobacco of the hay, sugar, rice rye, oats or barley
crop, even, everybody knows. 1t is of the former
five however that the most is said and heard, and
it is an old story of Southern cotton contending with
Northern wheat for supremacy. Those whose bust
ness and possibly great many others whose incli-
nation it know, knew that neither cotton nor
wheat was really the king ofcrops. Everybody made
a great deal of noise about the former two. Cor
ners" were formed in them, the luctuatng prices of
them universally, constantly quoted, and pub
lie attention was concentrated upon them. short
crop of either became a matter of general depres-
SION long crop cause for common rejoicing.
But despite their importance, and it was great tina
of the corn crop greater. 1t was neither ofthem
but that and is king of the harvest aud its
kingdom is so vast as to bid defiance to the Old
Hutches of the grin pits to corner" it,
On Saturday last in Sioux City, there came to an
end a memorable festival in wonderful palace,
which built expressly by the farmers ofIowa for
King Corn. The word palace is used advisedly, a:
the stately edifce designed by the most skilfu
architects and erected by the most expert mechanics
The palace is of imposing height and the noble pro-
portions of $50 by $50 feet Scarcely any other
terias than the following used in its eonstruc
ton 5000 bushels of yellow corn and 900 bushels
of other varieties 500 pounds of carpet tacks 5000
pounds of nails 1900 pounds of brads $500 feet of
rope and 500 feet of light wire. The palace is de-
clared to be of striking beauty both in form and
color and it is said that twas fit abode during the
festival for the monarch of the ploughed fields.
Some idea of the value of the corn crop be got
from the managers Of the great railroad lines whose
ingenuity is annually taxed to provide Transports
ton facilities for it. 1t is said to be to them
profitable than any other single variety of freight
but little short of 1000 bushels in the whole
country. Illinois and Iowa raise more corn than any
other two states and claim to be able to continue to
do for years to come their soil is still deep
and rich not to require the aid offertiliZer. The
entire valley of the Mississippi is in September made
yellow with the ripening corn; but 1t grows nearly
everywhere in this country though it is only in the
West and Southwest that il is made the chief pro-
duct of the farm.

speeches of prominent Republicans, favoring re-
ducton of the tariff: Most OF the speeches were
made prior the reduction Of 1885, the rest prin

him the best could. Now may 1t not be possible
that the registrars the county pursuing this

Is it not the privilege of every citizen to talk
to whom he pleases, or to give pamphlets,
papers, or anything else to whom he pleases?
Is it a grievous offense which this anonymous
scribbler charges against me, to put Republi-
can sentiments into the hands of q man mat
urally Republican ?' ' Can this wiseacre tell
me what it is to be naturally Republican"
Isn't he subject of morbid bility when
he experiences paroxysm of virtuous indig-
nation because Republican speeches are put
into the hands of man naturally Republi-
camp What right has he to insult the young
man he referred to by CHASING him among
doubtful voters? How could he be Repub.
lican and doubtful voter at the same time?
leave this befogged writer to cipher out the
problem to his own satisfaction. Meantime
| beg to say to him that the registrars will not
go to such as he is for instructions as to their

doing whatever they deem right and proper,
any more than any other class of citizens.

the company was in the Trust, it was subject
