THE FOOL "PREss. -

The New York Pres has again cracked
its head with its own shillalab. Some
figures recently published by this mon
opoly hireling are of great interest to
farmers. We do not yOueh for thsir
accuracy.
The figures profess to give actual prices
of farm products in New York and Lon
don. The price given for Is los. Of pota-
toes in London is % cents; New York, 224
cents; butter, 25 cents in both New York
and London; meat 81 90 in both New
York and London; flour; 25 cents for
lbs. in London and 20 cents for the same
amount in New York. In view of ell that
the Press breaches on the beauties OF the
home market to farmers, these figures, If
accurate, are a revelation. 1t appears
that the American farmer gets less for his
products as 8 rule, at New York, than does
the EDgli4h farmer at London. Tho ex-
eeptions given by the Press are milk, Tor q
weeks supply of which 81 cents is paid in
London and IS cents in New York, and
vegetables, which cost cents in London
and lOI cents in New York.
If the Prsss don't take care il viii have
the American farmer emigrating to free
trade England.

CANNOT FACE 1T.

In addition to the phenomenal boom for
tariff relormer GRESHAM is the recent selec-
ton of Senator WN. b. ALLISON, of Iowa,
As chairman of the tariff subcommittee OF
the Senate Finance Committee Il is plain
notice to the country that the Republicans
in the Senate will not dare to face the is
sue of tariff reform.
In previous struggles for tariff reform
and reduction Senator ALLISON when q
representative was one Of the few Repub-
lican members to Join the Democrats, and
in the debates OF 1870 he led the opposition
TO the SCuESCK bill which confirmed
the hold Of monopoly on the country.
Senator ALLISON is on record AZ saying Of
the war tariff:
IL il in the interest of that class of PEG.
pie in the country who make large profits
out of manufactures and not IN the inter
est of the consumers Of the country.
Still further, Mr.. ALLISON, years ago, adj
yOcatcd many of the provisions OF the bill
which is now awaiting action, and his
views concerning the more important
schedules were extreme in comparison with
the conservative bull Of the Ways and
Means committee. To cite but two in
stances that chance at hand now, he offered
an amendment, in $50, fixing the duty on
screws at thirty live per cent, the rate pro-
posed in the pending bill, and on the sub
ject of pig iron he said;
do not believe it will seriously in
terlere with any productive interest IN
Pennsylvania, or any other State, to make
a reduction o. the duty on pig iron to
either six dollarl or five dollars ton.
The rate proposed iu the pending bill is
the higher OF the two. II il wers necessary,
quotations from Mr.. ALLIsoN's views,
from the Congressional Record, could De
given in support of the majority Of the
provisions of the bill in so far as manufsc-
lures are concerned.
Unless Senator ALLISON gives the lie to
his whole past record, the msjority OF the
Senate Finance subcommittee to inyesti-
gate the tariff, il in favor Of tariff reform
as eSressed BY President CLEVELAND
This il significant.

such Issue as high tariff" which assertion
will startle yOur readers considerably
Getting down to plain figures, per-
centages and taIed articles, what is the

inequalities of the tariff" if not as the
Democratic measure proposes?
Come, neighbOr, stop laundering around

cigar in biz mouth, but no one here has
yet seen him smoking. While he used TO
be an lnveterate smoker. for the past

friends yesterday, he told them the story.
In hattie during the late war Senator
Bate and his brother, Col. Bate, were to.
gether. They were in conversation, when
the Senator drew from his pocket a cigar,
and struck match with which TO light it..
As he did so, cannon ball tore his
brothers head completely from his body.
The cigar was not lighted and to this day
he has never lit one, and probably never
