SENATOR Sherman, in his Cleve-
land speech, put himself squarely
on record as fayoring complete
reciprocity between the countries of
the Three Americas in regard to a
free interchange Of goods without
import duties Of any kind.
If this is the plan melted out by
Sherman and his party why do they
insist upon high tariff against the
manufactured goods of Europe.
And as South and Central Amer
lea are among the %grandest farming
countries in the world, why admit
these farm products into the United
States free of any duty. Is it be-
cause the farmers of the United
States only furnish seventy three
per cent of all the exports that
compose the basis OF our exchange
with foreign countries during the
past years. Therefore, seventy
three per cent of all our dealings
with foreign countries IS our Agri-
culture.
If protection to South and Cen
trail America on the part Of Senator
Sherman and his party is right why
not give the farmers Of the United
States protection? If free trade
for South American raw material is
right, why not admit the manufact-
ured goods of England free, also.
Please Mr.. Sherman and the Re
publican party, let us have all free
trade, or all be protected alike.
Don't haul the All American Con-
gress all over the United States in
special trains Of palace cars at an
expense of $250,0O0 to look at u
manufacturing interests and make
us poor farmers who pay seventy
three per cent Of the expense Of the
trip Cat least not when) we are
furnishing seventy-three per cent Of
the real wealth Of our country.
Please don't leave us out in this
All American Congress when you
meet, over there to be sold at free
trade prices, which also fixes the
prices Of all products we sell at
home. How does the All American
Congress strike the farmers in this
country

We have never fully comprehen-
ded what was meant by a Gam
lily" magazine, until we had given
the fine Christmas number of De-
morest's Family Magazine a thor
ough examination. Of all others.
this Magazine is certainly best n
titled to use the. word Family"
in its title,-for every member is
considered in its makeup. Its
beautiful illustrated articles are
equal to any in the high-class liter
airy magazine. Especially notice
able in the December number is one
about "Uncle Sans Money" give
ing a description of how u coin is
made, the illustrations starting with
ayiewofthe Mint, and golngthrough
every process until the coin is put
into circulation. The other illus
tratod articles and stories arc too
numerous TO mention, as can be APP
preciated when we say that the De-
cember number contains over two
hundred Illustrations, and every
member Of the family is thought of.
But though our space is limited,
we must mention the beautiful oil
picture, "Christmas Morning"
which is indeed worthy of q frame.
We would advise everybody to at
least see this Family NqgasiHe be-
fore making their choice for next
ycar. They claim a dozen maya
zines combined i'm one. for only
300 per year, and certainly the
claim is O just one, Published by

wo hundred pounds each.

Two POUNDS each.
If any OF the best horses in West
Virginia had been without shelter
through the winter billiards of
Montana, or during the hot sum
mers when The air is as dry as q
sermon and all the small streams
have ceased to exist, SO that horses
travel miles to reach the large
streams, and then tramp back to
good feed, had never eaten grain
and hay or been groomed, and then
had been shipped 1900 miles and
been knocked down repeatedly by
the engines shifting and backing,
nothing to eat but spoiled hay, and
then driven as these were, l greatly
doubt if they would have sold for
enough to pay freight charges.
Thes c h c S are II OF
ponies but are small Amer
lean horses, and l consider them
the best cheap horses in the world.
The United States Government is
now buying the larger horses for
u cayalrymen to use.
Any nan Of common II can
see the difference between this class
ofstock and Texas horses. Montana
produced Spokane" the champi-
on race horse of America. Her
horses are noted for their fine en-
during legs and hoofs and for their
wind. Heaves are unknown with
us. Can West Virginia say as
much ! don't claim that these
horses can haul as heavy loads as
the Percheron and Clydcsdale and
some of their get, but they cost
much less, are easier kept, and for
riding, driving and all round work
generally, they will kill any of those
breeds.
Some OF the country papers here
lest sleep from the fear that these
horses will deteriorate the stock of
horses already in use here, but if
they can show how these geldings
will hurt the stock very much, they
will shed light on many people.
There are twenty-one geldings and
three mares in the lot. These
mares bred to large horses will raise
1850 to 100 pound horses. Some
folks were worried because they
have read of Texas horses bringing
ticks to this country. 1t may be
done by Texas stock, but there are
no ticks in Montana, nor on these
horses, neither are there any flies.
In first handling these horsesi it is
necessary to lasso them and use q
little force, but every man who has
seen the work at the corral here.
wlIl, l think, say that no unneces-
sary cruelty is practiced, and l
firmly believcthat every colt broken
in this country is whipped far more
than these horses arc. The colts
here are afrai d to pass a covered
wagon, a locomotive, dog or in fact
anything they see, while these Mon
tana horses are very courageous and
have the sand to walk up and in
spect Satan.
In conclusion, I'll thank you for
the space occupied by this Ginning
and hope to sell you and every
compos meRtis man one of the best
horses for general use, that has ever
come into West Virginia.

A Live Bear In Klngmood.

Two French peasants were in
town Friday with a large Dear.
They claimed to be from the south
of France and said that their bear
was from the Pyrenees mountains.
lie would weigh about 400 pounds,
and was pretty well trained. He
was fat, sleek and clean looking
and in better condition than most
of the travelling bears. They gave
a performance in front Of Albright's
store ON Price Street, after a c%ollec-
ton had been taken up. The bear
drilled, danced, stood on his head,
tumbled somersaults, climbed trees
and had a big wrestling match with
one of the men. This took the lau-
rels away from the cowboys while it
lasted. They we're present, how
ever, with their trappings, and ore
of them had a little wrassel with "a
pony while the bear wrassel was
going on. The men and the bear
tramp through the country sleeping
in The woods or in haYmows.

INCAPABLE OF JUSTICE.

1t is only necessary to show how mar
row were that crowd of female peripa-
tetic statesmen to call attention to the
fact that they passed a resolution en-
dorsing and thanking the two evening
papers of this city, giving the EAGLE,
which had furnished them a reporter
and published their proceedings in full,
the snub. Our effort at fairness and
justice cost us not less than
$50 cash, to say nothing of the
valuable space surrendered nor of
the value of hearing with
people who are opposed to them. The
EAGLE has never denied that crowd a
hearing when asked and has never
charged them a cent for such hearings.
Their action is but an illustration Of
their illiberal ideas and narrow preju-
dices. The EAGLE would not have
given two cents for such an acknowledge
ment, but if for only the sake of an APP
pearance Of appreciation and fairness
we should think that they would haYe
at least admitted that the EAGLE was
and that it had not only
treated their convention fairly, but, as
an enemy, generously.

A QUESTION OF NO BABY.

The equal suffragists, according to Col
onel Murdoch, look SO much after political
questions that they overlook the baby
question" The baby question, we pre-
sumo, is Where is my mama to-night?"-
Emporia Republican.
If indeed there is such baby we
would answer: Mamma my deserted
darling is whooping it up TO the old Jane
convention down in Wichita. But the
painful part of it is that it is a question
of ''no baby and if of no baby, then of
no mamma. Il is no secret that the
woman suffragists have long since decid-
ed that if they couldn't be daddy they
wouldn't be a mamma. This is only
partially true however of the spIritless,
long-haired intirmaties who toddle about
after these females, and who seem for
the most part TO be longing for adde's
cent muliebrity and for something good
TO eat rather than for daddyhood.

MORE WATER IN THE WEST.

Meade county has a greater number Of
artesian wells which discharge a greater
volume of water than any locality of
like area in this country if not in the
world, and there seems to be no limit to
the number of such wells that may be
put into operation. Meade Center, the
county seat, hasa sugar mill that depend
ed upon an eight-inch flowing well, fur
nishing 900 gallons daily. This was
not enough to supply the mill, and some
days ago the company started another
well, 6.64 feet inside the curb. The
workmen reached 102 feet at midnight
Monday night and were digging in clay
when they were startled by subdued
swapping sound like the report Of fire.
crackers in barrel. The bottom of the
well began to crack and then the water
burst through, barely allowing the work
men to escape with their lives. The
water rose rapidly and is now flowing
over at the top.
These OVERLOOKING wells seem to bear
out the theory of Judge Gregory of Gar
uch Sity tild1 llInicliSo IeociFOl4S OL
water exist underneath most of the
southwestern portion of the state, and
that his plan of bringing it to the sur
face is entirely practicable. Evidence is
constantly multiplying which indicates
that the question of an adequate water
supply Will be solved for that section g
an early day. That is all that is lacking
to make a veritable garden in produc-
tiveness of much of the area that has
hitherto been regarded as irreclaimable
for agricultural purposes. The lands
there once under cultivation, with sup
ply of trees, orchard and forest, and
rainfall will be sufficiently superinduced
to largely decrease the volume of water
now needed for artificial irrigation.

THE NATIONAL FLOWER.

A vote was taken at the st. Louis ex-
position, one day last week, for choice
of national flowers. There were over
81 900 votes cast. The goideh-rod had
1000 majority over the sunfower, with
large number divided up among other
flowers. Noting this, Sol Miller says in
his Troy Chief: owe are glad of the re-
sult-especially glad that the hateful
sunfower was scooped. We know of no
plant that looks more dismal and dreary,
and we hope that those Kansas fellows
who are mashed on it will become
ashamed Of themselves and abandon it. )"
The sunfiower is not as handsome nor
yet as fragrant, and consequently not
as attractive and popular as some flowers
are, but when it comes to questions of
continuity and loyalty it excels them all.
and herein is its chief recommendation.
But, if it is to be slaughtered in the
house of its friends, SO to speak, as wit
ness the Chief s onslaught, why, let it
be at once withdrawn from the national
contest and retire to its native heath
where its nodding to the restless breezes
will never grow monotonous to the peo-
pie who will ever recognize it as the
states psewdonym.
