Two years later he was admitted to the bar,
after studying law with his father, Hon. T..

dtor in 1850, 1851 and 1852; was prosecuting

noted to the state senate, where he re-
mained two years, serving as president pro
TEN. of that body portion Of the time, and
then he was elected a representative to the
thirty-eghth congress- receiving reflections

SEAvER.-Died in Burlington, April %,
Dea. f. Burnham Seaver formerly of Will
JAMESTOWN. We take the following from the
Free Press BY the death of Dea Burn
ham Seaver the community loses good citi-
zen and the Christian church one of its
most devoted and faithful members. He
proved his loyalty by enlsting in August,
1862, with his only son "a college student
then just old enough to be accepted) as a
private in the Twelfth Regiment, Vermont
Volunteers. He was forty-two years of
age-tne oldest man IN the COInpany-and
older by six years than any of the rest save
one. If any one would know of his Christian
walk while in the service he can inquire of
his comrades, many of whom are still liv-
ing among us. After the regiment had re-
turned friend asked him how he had kept
his religion in the army. His characteristic
reply was My religion kept me- The re-
mark illustrates the practical nature of his
faith, its unwavering sngleness and sim
plicity. He was an otfce-bearer III the
church for nearly twenty-five years, always
at his post, always doing his part commend
ing his faithful counsels by his tender and
earnest tones and illustrating them by an
unblemished life And now at last he has
fallen asleep, at the age of siXty-eight, leav-
ing not an enemy in the wide world, but
troops of friends to mourn the loss of a
sanity man. The numerous gathering at
the First church at the funeral of Dea.
Seaver showed the esteem in which he was
held in this community. The desk and plat
| form were decorated with flowers, and the
casket, partially draped with the national
/ colors, bore lilies, a sheaf of wheat and cross
| of arbutus. DIR. Hawes ofiiciated and paid
an earnest tribute to the personal worth and
| high Christian character of the deceased
| The bearers were S. Huntington, j. 4.

having charge of the funeral. The men,
bers of Company G, Twelfth Vermont, and

| and to the grave. The interment took place

Freedom Is Gaining.

The progress of reform during the past
twelve months has been marvellous 1t
demonstrates the value of courage and
conviction in politics The Republicans
insisted at the time of the defeat of the
Morrison bill that the Democrats would
not dare to force the fighting on the tariff
issue at the beginning of a presidential
election. They have dared to do this very
thing. They have formulated the recon-
mendations of the president in the Mills
bill, and they are using all the force of
party organization to make that bill a
law.
Whether 1t passes congress or fails to
pass it becomes the issue of all others be.
fore the people, and it seems to be the is
sue of ali others which the Republicans
fear. Hence the speeches of Ingalls,. the
infammatory course of Republican news
papers, the flag issue, the pension bills,
the back tax bill. the rejection of the
fisheries treaties and other devices fol
distracting attention from that reform
and arousing sectional animosity.
The advantage of all this preliminary
work is ours. The party is united OF
measures and on men. Enthusiasm !:
manifested everywhere. The Republi
cans are uncertain and demoralized. Fac
tional differences are deeper and broadel
than ever. Republicans Of the west vii
not support the policy which provides fre'
whisky and taxed clothing; Republican,
of the east refuse to follow Ingalls,, Sher
man and Foraker in o policy of sectiona
agitation. Courier Journal

Extortion and Betrayal.

The Herald has not failed to keep some
main national facts before the people. The
surplus of $175, ,000, 900, the surplus in
come of third of million day and the
annual levy of nearly $400, ,000, 900, fourth
largest in all the nations-these ideas
have served as the base line Of all The
Herald survey of the present government.
The war found US with levy Of 500, ,00O,-
600, or go cents per capita; it leaves US
with twenty years of taxation at the rate
of $6.33 per capita per annum. The aver
age man feels that this war account ought
to be closed as soon as possible, and that
the nation should be restored to the fnan
cial blessings it enjoyed before the war
The robbers and false statesmen declare
that the poll tax of $6.33 is none too high,
and that means should be invented to in
definitely prolong the levy and definitely
bisect the nation.
The Democratic party, in its leader, the
president, has taken firm ground on the
side of patriotism, peace and duty. He
has demanded a return to the ways OF
peace. He has shown that in the collec-
ton of this $6.33 more than four times as
much money is gained by classes whose
business is protected" by these high
taxes. Thus every man. woman and child
in America pays not only $6.33, but ar
unknown sum in addition-not less thar
$25-whieh is at once used in the forma
ton of trusts. pools and corners. These
combinations, as in coal. prey upon the
taxpayer from the rear, and greatly in
crease his difficulties Under this sys
tenn the poor complain. with justice, tha
the captains of hundreds carry the bag
and enjoy all the benefits of increment o
the public wealth.-Chicago Herald.

Free Bridges and Free Trade.

Did the citizens and business men OF
Clinton and the farmers Of Florida town
ship ever stop to think that this bridge,
the toll bridge, we mean, which connects.
while it separates, Parke and Vermillion
counties, stands in precisely the same re-
lation to this community, only on a
smaller scale, that the so called protective
tariff stands to our whole countryH 1t
protects our farmers and gardeners
against the gardeners and farmers Of
Parke; for, rather than bring their rro-
duce over here and pay high toll tax, they
90 clear to Terre Haute to sell their stuff,
and there they also buy great deal OF
their goods So you see that bridge Is In
q small way a protection to US, for 1t
tends to discourage the importation OF
goods into this town which we can pro.
duce or ought to produce ourselves. At
least this is the protective theory In q
nutshell, and as fully illustrated by the
present institution which exacts toll
from the purchaser and the producer.
And vet there is not person of ordinary
sense living about here who is not hon
estly in favor of removing this restriction
of our trade by having free bridge

III FAR what the celebrated DR.. M cFarland says
IL about Liver Diseases in Northwestern Ohio.
The liver is the largest gland of the body and the
labratoIy of mans whole system, and s the primary
cause of more trouble in this climate than all else
combined. So much has been said and SO much
has been suffered and many lives have been sac
riced to the false practice of overlooking thegreat
cause and docoring its my effects, such as Rheu
matism, Sick Headache, Neuralgia, Dropsy, h Heart
Disease and Constipation or Costiveness, and Stom
ach Diseases, Dyspepsin, Indigestion, and many
effects arising from disordered condition OF 1he
liver. And yet it goes every day. Well, DR.. how
can this be helped? will tell you how: Call at
Humphreys Drug Store, and buy for .$1OO, which
is the price of one call from your physician, enough
to cure any case of liver complaint Ask for NC
Farland's Indian Pills. 80 pills in each box Dose
pill at bedtime. Take them regular and you will
soon see where You have been wasting your time
and money They cure every time. Remember, all
the effects disappear as well. Do not stand in your
own light but 90 at once before 1t is too late This
is what they cure by regulating the liver: Sick

The Farming interests.

It Ii easily shown that not more than 0
Nar cent. Of the labor of the country Is
affected by our present tariff in the way
of protection Other members haveshown
the relation which the agriculturist bears
to the tariff, and they have shown he Is
not protected at all But, on the other
hand, he is at the mercy Of other coun.
tries, with their cheap forms OF labor.
He must sell his crops at prices fixed by
the pauper labor, not only of Europe, but
Of Asia and Africa. since the price OF
wheat in this country is regulated by the
price of the European markets The
whole world contributes its supplies to
those markets, and the peasants OF Rus
sia, Hungary and India. with their cheaper
labor. are rivals Of our farmers. There
fore, our farmers are In direct competi-
tion with the cheapest labor in the world.

There never was tariff during whose
continuance there was so much advance
ment in all that makes up the wealth OF
nations as our low tariff of 1916 Under
its provisions farmers got better prices
for wheat. grain. wool, etc. than they
have averaged under the present tariff

The truth is. as has been frequently

the tariff does not affect wages in the
sense in which the Republicans claim 1t.

Those western congressman who advo-
cate a continuance Of the war tariff give
us some fabricated figures on the improve
ment in the condition of western farmers
since James Buchanan's time but they
carefully omit the fact that the prices OF
farm products were great deal higher in
New York then than now. Whatever i'm
provement there has been (and the farm
ers have to look earnestly to see it) has
been in cheapened transportation. The
lowest price Of wheat in New York in 1856
was $3.50, and the highest SALT, more
than twice the present price.
