It IL with unfeigped pleasure we
call the attention Of our readers to
the article published in the farmers
column, on the tariff, by Ezra Turner.
This gentleman evidently knows
whereof he writes and his views and
arguments are worthy Of the highest
consideration.
To u mind, these articles present
the true interests and needs Of the
people, especially the agricultural
portion, in a manner incoptrovertible
and the light thrown upon this sub.
ject Of the Tariff cannot fail to be pro.
ductive of great good.
This question Of the tariff is Of
more Importance than any that car
affect the people at the present day
and We deem it privilege to place
before the readers of the "Pioneer,
such arguments a. from our stand.
point ought to conyince every man Of
the necessity Of tariff reform, as urged
by President Cleveland.

highest figure. II at any time before the
Ave years run out, the homssteader wants to
pay for his land, no can do 50. The price
per acre ii 81 % and $3.50. The cheaper
price rules on lands forty nilss from the
