THE TARIFF IN ILLINOIS.
Some Surprising Facts Learned by the
Chicago Times Correspondents.

Some Surprising Facts Learned by the
Chicago Times Correspondents.
CHICAGO, March 25 The Times recently
took measures 10 sound the farmers of
Illinois on the subject of tariff reform.
1t instructed its correspondents through.
out the state to obtain expressions of
opinion from leading farmers of both
parties in their respective localities and
forward them for use in its columns with
out coloring or bias. The work has been
done intelligently and thoroughly, and the
results msy be accepted g. sfiecting very
accurately the tariff opinio- Of the farmers
of Illinois. The fact which is most clearly
brought out is that while the farmers gea.
orally go with the party with which they
have heretofore affiliated, yet as body
they can not be depended upon to support
The existing high tariff through thick and
thin.
An analysis OF the returns shows that fully
go per cent, or three out OF Eve, OF the
farmers interviewed are in favor of de-
cided modification and reduction, and
only about two out of five are radical pro-
tectionists, while many of the latter regard
the existing tariff IS extreme. OF the
democrats more than 90 per cent. favor re.
form on the lines indicated in the p-esi-
dents message, or of something much
more radical, about half of the retormers
favoriDg either tariff for revenue only or
outand-out free trade excepting as to re-
cogDized luxuries, such IS spirits, wine,
beer, aud tobacco. Not o per cent can be
classed as Randall democrats.
Perhaps the most surprising thing shown
by the returns is the large proportion of
republicans fsvoring sweeping revision
of the tariff on lines approaching those
marked our by the president About so
per cent. only are in favor of high protec-
tive duties, and many OF these regard the
present tart as too high. The number of
extremists of the Horace Greeley school is
surprisingly small. About 80 per cent.
declare themselves in favor of tariff re-
form, and most of them favor such a re-
vision IS the president recommends, or a
stlll nearer approach to a strictly revenue
tariff, while few are as radical free traders
ss.sDy of the democrats
The conclusion of the Times from the
returns, taken as a whole, is that IL the
farmers Of Illinois were to vote on the
tariff issue alone, without regard TO other
questions, or to party affiliations or pref
udices, there would be a large majority
in favor of large reduction OF the tariff
taxes. Still, ii appears that many OF them
are not prepared to say that they care
enough for tariff reform to sever their old
party relations in order TO secure it. 1t is
a significant fsct, however, and one that
politicians would do we'll TO note as indiN
Cative of the political drift, that some re-
publicsns say frankly they will vote for 8
democrat, if necessary, IN order TO secure
tariff reform, while hardly = single demo.
cTst lniima tes thst he Will vote for a re-
publican to save the tariff SIS it is or make
1t more extremely protective.

Corrupt Bread.

The way people are questioning their
grocers about the adulteration of baking
powders has stirred up that part of the
mercantile community to taking more care
in their selection of manufactured articles.
The consumers are rapidly awakening to
the fact that nearly all the cheap brands
and prize goods, as well as some high-priced
brands advertised as absolutely pure"
contain either alum, lime or ammonia, and
some of them all of these sdulterants.
A simple test of the purity OF baking
powder is to mix in tin cup two heaping
tesspoonfulls of the powder with three tea
spoonfulls OF cold water, place 1t over the
fire, stirring constantly, allow 1t to boil
thoroughly, or until the gas escapes freely,
then smell. il adulterated, the odor of am
monia will be plainly perceived. The
presence OF ammonia in most cases iudi-
Gates that alum Is used, as nearly all the
alum OF commerce contains ammonia. Pure
baking powder will not give the faintest
smmoniacal odor. Baking powders COM
posed principally OF starch, alum and terra
alba, boil into thick dirty paste.
1t Is important for housewives to know
that DR.. Prices Cream: Baking Powder:is
free from ammonia, alum, lime and al
authorizations whatsoever; also that IL Ia
heslthful and economical, really the most
perfect made.

Ess Tasco,t Commit ted snlcIas.

ST.. PAUL, Mimi, March 24.-Lsst night
the remains of q man with a bullet hole in
his head were found at Inner Grove, a
station on the st. Paul &c Kansas City
motor line, seven miles south Of st. Paul.
A revolver lay rear him, and it is gener-
ally believed that he committed suicide.
There was nothing to reveal his identity.
To-day q closer examination was made and
his description was found to tally very
closely with that OF Tascott, the murderer
of Smell. The body had laid where it was
found for a considerable time. Tascott
was known to have a woman in st. Paul
and to have visited her since the Smell
murder. The theory is that he may have
committed suicide TO avoid capture by the
detectives, who had learned OF his presence
here. Owing to the blockade on the road,
definite and more minute details cannot

To THE EDIToR-SI: wish to inform
my friends through THE SENTINEL why
withdrew from the methodist church.
Soon after Messers. Allan and Gillespie
began their labors in this circuit Brother
Greenwood said that it was doubtful If we
could have protracted meeting here this
winter, as the circuit was so large and so
many other places wanted it. This became
the general opinion, and when q move
ment was made to obtain the services of a
quaker lady from Richmond to labor with
us in our church | subscribed ST. toward
the expenses. Brother Green wood was not
satisfied with what l had done, neither
was Brother Allan. Messrs. Allan and
Gillespie then held meetings, but there was
no interest manifested and but few came
to hear them. At one of the services Mr.
Allan said, SINNERS, | cannot ask you to
come and seek religion. 1 have not the
heart to Go ii in the condition the church
is. The church is dead, and ii would be
like putting live child into a dead moth.
er's arms" Atterward, in conversation
with Mr.. Allan he said he was opposed to
the coming OF the quskersss to aid US in
our meetings. l never asked him to close
his meeting and allow the lady to Conduct
it, although l understand that he said at
Falmouth that did say 81. l under
stand that the real reason of the opposi-
ton of the brethren to the lady was that
quaker church inside the methodist
church. / will close with the statement
that was not angry when l asked for my
letter from the church. Very truly,
