GOLDEN HOME MARKETS.

Senator Morrill, said in his speech, made
some two weeks since, that the golden mar
kets of America, in their wide extent and
the superior ability Of consumers, dwarf
and surpass all other markets OF the glebe,
and that we should not surrender these
golden home markets to those who do not
care for us.
The farmers are beginning TO understand
that they furnish most of this golden home
market, and there is no golden home mar
ket to keep the price of farm products up
TO profitable point. They will agree that
the present tariff does make radiant gold
en- market for certain protected industries,
but they cannot see where the gold comes
in for the farmers.
The whole wealth Of the country is based
upon the fertility Of our farm lands and the
industry of our farmers. The manufactur-
ers want only the home markets, but the
farmers have to go abroad to seek other
markets. The burden of keeping a lot of
factories idle six months in the year and
paying them enough for the other six
months to afford good dividends falls on the
farmers.
The burden of fattening plow trusts, rope
trusts, nail trusts, stove trusts and circle
of other trusts, falls on the farmers. Natu-
rally to Senator Morrill, and other repre-
sentstives of the industrial States, the
home markets look like an inexhaustible
gold mine. The Liverpool market is good
enough for farmers, but the home market
must be strictly reserved for the manufac-
turers, even if the only wav to strictly re-
serve them is to make the farmers pay the
bulk of taxes and bonus for the privilege
of building up combines and monopolies.
America is the rich mans paradise. Ma.
tional taxation is not laid upon wealth, but
upon the consumption of the necessaries o
life. The more children man has and the
more his children have, the higher his taxes
| The more he tries to make his family com
Portable, the more he has to help swell the
surplus and make money tighter. The miser
and the rich man, whose income is beyond
his needs, pays almost nothing to the gen
eral government in comparison to what hi
gets from the prosperity of the country.
Mr.. Morrill, says: "We must be able t.
pay high wages for labor and keep our la
boring men happy" If farmers can pa,
higher wages than European farmers ant
still sell in Liverpool, why cannot our man
ufacturers pay higher wages than European
manufacturers and still sell in the colder
home markets? If our natural advantage
cannot enable US TO keep wages at the pres
ent point and go on manufacturing, the ad
vantages do not seem to go for much, 70
wages are only 90 per cent. Of the averag
manufactured product.
AS far rs the farmers are concerned thes
golden markets consist in too much gol
going out from the farmers and not enougl
coming in. Tariff reform aims at balancin
the flow of gold.

HOW 1T LOOKS NOW.

AS the conventions are held the Repub
lican situation as respects the Presidential
question becomes more and more mixed
and incomprehensibe.
John Sherman having by dint of hard
work succeeded in obtaining delegation
from his own State, having the outward ap-
pearance at least, has picked up a few strag-
Cling delegates here and there in the hope
lessly Democratic States of the South
Aside from an uncertain and precarious sup
port so obtained, Mr.. Sherman has nothing
TO rely on
Up in the northwest the boom is for ALI.
son, of Iowa, but Michigan insists upon
Alger, and warns the party that unless he
is nominated the electoral vote of Michigan
will go for Cleveland. Illinois comes out
strong for Gresham, of Indiana, who is un.
derstood to be something 81 mugwump
and free trader, for which reason the Re-
publicans of his ewn State repudate him
and shout for Ben Harrison. On the Pacific
coast they want Blaine, if they can get him,
or il they can't get him are in for a trade.
In the East similar confusion PREVAILS
They want man who can carry New
York, and do not look upon either Sher-
man, Allison, Alger or Harrison as being
equal to the task. Nobody but New York
man can do that, and the only New York
man who is willing to undertake it Is De-
pew. But Pennsylvania does not look upon
Depew with favor and would like TO try
Blaine again. Maine wants Blaine and so
does New Jersey, Massachusetts and Mary
land.
And so il goes. Sherman, Allison, Har.
rson, Alger, Gresham and Depew are put
forward as iavorite sons, and the contention
for each is that if he is not nominated his
own State may be lost, and the Republicans
cannot afford to lose q single State The
trouble is that none OF the candidates can
carry all the States Republican candidate
must carry to be elected, and so the situa-
ton, as it presents itself, is variegated but
not hopeful.
In their perplexity the Republicans look
TO Blaine as after all the best man they can
get. True, he was beaten before, but by q
scratch only, and who knows but he might
do better next time At all events to run
him again will afford the Republicans about
the best chance they can get. 1t is a hard
choice and desperate chance, but necessity
will compel the Republican party to make
one and take the other
Therefore, when the econvention gets down
to business, and the "favorite sons" have
been duly complimented, Blaine will prob
ably be nominated, because really there will
appear nobody else worth nominating
This is of course supposing that Mr. Blaine
will not interpose such positive refusal as
will convince the convention of his sinceri-
ty. But there is no good reason for suppos-
ing that Mr. Blaine will do that

How Farmer johnson Saved His Life.

When the great storm of January
18th swept over Aurora county, Dako-
ia. Eric johnson, farmer near Plank
linton, was watering his cattle some
distance from his buildings. He be-
came exhausted in his attempts to
drive the cattle home. Among the cat
tie was very large OK, which laid
down to die near where Johnson was
making his last struggle for life in the
snow.
Johnson, in moment of inspiration,
killed the OK, disemboweled it, and
crawled inside. After drawing the
sides of the stomach together, he was
completely sheltered from the storm,
and passed the night in comparative
comfort and safety. When morning
dawned, however, and he endeavored
to crawl out Of his peculiar habita-
ton, he was Mortified to find that he
was completely frozen in, his knife
left sticking in the carcass outside.
He cried for assistance, and ii was
not until half-past three that his cries
were answered by party who were
searching for him. He was taken out
of the hole none the worse for his ex-
perience, except that he was cramped
and sore.

COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. Editor-Dear Sir-While enjoy
ing leisure hour | will drop you
few lines to tell you about the enter
tainment held at Oak Grove Saturday,
February 4, 1898. The entertainment
consisted of singing, dialogues, tab
leaux and 'charades. Mrs. Neil, the
teacher presided at the organ for the
singing by school and Miss Ella For
dyce, the accomplished musical in
structress of Shepherd College, rem
dered that sung by the choir OF ladies
and gentlemen from town and neigh
borhood. First came The Sleigh
ride" a song by the school. Then
followed the Welcome Recitations.
One of the smaller boys welcomed the
males and just as he left the stage
small girl came bouncing in remind
ing him he had neglected the females
which she welcomed in fine style.
Next came Bridegroom" a charade'
The bride looked every inch a bride.
She wore a cream colored dress and
flowing veil In the finish-well we
could hear it, and | imagine many
Young man in the audience envied the
groom the sweet one he slipped from
her rosy cheek. WhippOOrwill song
followed this, sung by choir. n Can

sung by the girls OF the school And
next the minnie son of Ham proved
his nature in That ungrateful little
niger" In "Pull-back, Miss Lloyd,
of Ripon, carried the laurels, playing
the part of an old lady to perfection.
The tableau "Songstress, followed
and presented something beautiful.
Of course the handsome young ladies
and stately gentlemen that acted It,
made it more impressive than may
have been. After Hunters Song,
came "A Heavy Shower, leap year
charade. in which as usual, / suppose,
the Bachelor was totally overwhelmed
when the ladies proposed. Where
the Wild Waves Leap" was sung next
by the choir, then ''The Fortune Tell

an amusing scene. Now we come to

farce in which Dinah's question was
answered only to plainly by her ac-
tions. Last, but not least, the ladies
of the choir sung farewell song on
the stage, What is the song the Swal-

ted programme and with the congrat-
ulations of the patrons and friends
present for the schools welfare the
audience dispersed, the elder to forget,
the younger To fondly remember
pleasant time at Oak Grove.

An APPEAL.
TO THE BRETHREN AND FRIENDS OF
THE LUTHERAN CHURCH.

The Lutheran Congregation OF
Sharpsburg, Md, view with sadness
the decay of their church edifice, and
are painfully conscious that repairs
are needed, and that at once; and that
they are not able Of themselves to
make said repairs. and take this plan
to solicit aid from their brethren and
friends elsewhere. The membership
of the church here is large, but mainly
composed of persons in humble cir
cumstances. who not withstanding
their situation in these trying times
are contributing to the best OF their
ability. The Lutheran denomination
is the oldest one in the town and In
all probability the oldest in the county,
it having been organized March a.
1868. when Sharpsburg was but in Its
infancy. During and for several
months after the Battle of Antietam
the church was used by the Federal
troops as a hospital and was literally
torn to pieces by them, Tor WHICH ho'
one cent of damages has ever been
paid by the government, although
claim to that effect has been presented
time and again.
On the evenings of February 22d,
Odd. oath and 25th the LADIES and
friends of the church propose holding
a supper to raise some funds so assist
in the repairs. Therefore, brethren
and friends, we make an earnest ap-
peal to you for help. Give us what
YOU can spare, be it much or little.
Though you may not miss it, II Will be
of vast Importance to us i'll aiding the
good work. Will you come TO our re-
lief? All contributions sent TO the Pas
tor, Rev. E. H. Jones, or to John +.
Smith, Secretary of the Council, at
Sharpsburg, Md, will be duly
acknowledged and applied to the
above named purpose.
