Saturday evening partook freely Of stewed
green apples, and afterwards drank freely
of fresh milk. He then finished this very
dangerous proceeding with q cold foot

pies curdled the milk, and the influence by
the foot bath produced an affect as near TO
cholera as possible. from which he could
not hope to recover.
Mr.. Bennett, as business man and citi'
zen was the soul Of honor and integrity and
was highly respected and esteemed by all
who knew him, and his death, although at
an advanced age, is universally regretted.

most oppressive ouTuene on" eoo"'e V'
him the largest possible returns for his labor
II is here that the prohibition party lays ITS
claims TO the votes Of every American work
man, for while It's tariff policy proposes the
relief Of food aud clothing from 1uties, II
promises such reduction Of duties on other
things IN will give equal protection TO capital
and labor employed IN American manutac-
turing 1t goes farther, and says 1t will
release the American labOrer from a still
greater burden, nov need!essly imposed upon
it. The liquor traffic coniers no oeLeht upon
society. It's entire cost must be extracted
from The product Of labor. The total direct
and indirect cos, OF tn, traffic Is equal 10 one
half of the wages nov paid 10 every man,
woman and child employed in productive
industry, and it matters not who drinks the
liquor, the money TO pay for II must come
from the labor OF American workingnen. II
il then evident that the prohibition Of the
liquor traffic would insure labor greater
relief from this oppression than any tariff
policy. 1t therefore becomes ~ financial
policy the most important question Of the
present campaign.
There is one more thought that needs
honest, fair consideration. The claim 10
made that the country has grown rich under
the tariff, aud. therefore, the agriculture and
other labor Of the nation will not be willing
70 so vote Is TO destroy this policy. 1t is
true that during the existence Of the present
tariff there has been Q wonderful develop
ment, but the ratio in the increase OF
wealth WAS greater in decades before the
war than since 1860. During the last thirty
years there has been q vide destruction OF
forests, q large exhaustion Of mines, and q
great decrease in the productiveness OF the
soil. Much Of the nations present wealth 10
attributed to the conversion Of these natural
recourses into cash securities or into i'm
provements in the centers Of trade. And
vet, with all this destruction of natural
resources, the forests, mines and farms rg-
ure in the census returns ss q greater value
than they did before this destruction had
taken place, 90 that it must be apparent that
very much Of our prosperity is due to the
conversion Of the natural resources into cash
capital, instead Of to any tariff policy.
As an illustration Of this increase Of wealth
and decrease Of natural recourses, Mr.. Bar
tram took up the case Of the farmers who
purchased the grant Of the Illinois Central
X. r. Co.. at $3.50 per acre, tho government
also having raised its price along that road.
This land, costing $3.50 per acre. produced
thirty years ago twice ~ much - i; docs
at tho present day, and the only increase OF
wealth to the farmer has been the increased
value Of the land, now worth from $50 to $7b
per acre, and while some have money in the
bank, the greater number have borrowed
money in late years, and mortgaged their
lands to keep even with the rest OF the
world.

The Magazines.

The August Harper Is one OF the best
issues of the year, both as regards text and
illustrations, The opening article Is the
second part OF A Midsummer Trip TO the
West Indies" beautifully illustrated. The
article on " Holstein- Friesian Cattle" by
s, Hoxie describes the rapidity with which
the COW of Dutch extraction has won the
heart OF the American dairy farmer, and
gives the reason therefor. The Holstein's
popularity seems well earned, for the re-
cord shows that for producing milk she
cannot be beaten by any COW In the world
Three Illustrations give an excellent idea of
the appearance of these cattle The geo
graphical studies: The Moutagnais,"
!" Chiswick Ramble" and Studies of the
Great West" are very readable; and there
is an abundance Of light reading, poetry,
