A Good MAN Gone.

There is Il general regret to learn
that Hon. Peter Darnell, I, rebidant
of Big Sandy district died at his
home on Saturday, June 8th He
was an honored member of thc.E. o.
o. f., and was elected to the l1esis-
lature from Mason county some
years ago. Deceased served on the
United States grand jury recently
and returned to his home, after
which he became indisposed. 1t
was not thought death would result,
but the grim destroyer came and
the venerable old man, aged II
years, snccumbed to the inevitable.
The remains were laid to rest yes
terday. Deceased was lifelong
Democrat and always fought for his
political principles. A large num-
Der of near relatives are left to
mourn his demise..-Kanalcha Ga

From all quarters of this grea9
country comes the cry of hard times.
Money was never scarcer. And
why2 Because it is all locked UP in
the treasury vaults ut Washington,
in the form of a useless surplus, ex-
acted and wrung from the pockets
of a tax-ridden people by an iifiqlit-
Gus high-taritf system that. lraobs and
impoverishes the many for ths ben
eft of the few, and Expresses the
poor to aggrandize the rich. We
are enjoying now the ripehed fruits
of that heaven-inspired system of
home protection so loudly proclaim
ed last year US the panacea for all
the ills the land is heir to. We are
realizing now the truth of Republi-
can predictions and promises and
tasting the sweets of their fulfill
ment From the North we hear of
nothing but strikes, suspension of
business enterprises and reduction
of wages. Business is depressed,
money scarce, times hard, but these
things we must grin and endure, for
protection is on top, but the misery
growing out of it must be charged
to the Republican party.

One of the most notable incidents
connected with the Johnstown dis
aster, is the fact that the prisoners
in the eastern penitentiary of .Phila-
delphia contributed, out of their
scanty earnings for working over
time, sum for the relief of the food
sufferers amounting to 1922. This
case is probably without a parallel
in history. and the name of every
convict who gave his mite to this
sum will have credit mark put
down opposite it on the book of
Gods remembrance. The generous
deed of these unfortunates, who are
shut up as unfit to associate with
their tollowmen, 'should put to the
blush many whose personal records
are cleaner than theirs and from
whom better deeds might havu ueci
expected

4 YEARLY TAX OF 30 PEIs
CENT.
Why Oar Exports Of AgrienItst-
EaI Products Are Rapidly

exported dwindled from S730,394, :
943 in 1881 to $500, SIG, Os6 in 1888.
The total decrease was s199, O63,
S43, while the decrease in agricul-
turaI products was 1929 ,554 ,s57.
There was an actual increase in the
exports of other products by $780,
491, O14, so that the whole loss fell
upon agriculture.
Vast areas of the public domain
have been opened up to settle
ment during the past seven years.
Four new States have been admit
ted. The populations has increased,
but not so fast as the means of pro-
duction by new and approved
methods alone, without counting the
millions of acres added. What is
the reason for this decline of near
ly one third in the exports of agri-
culture2
The everage yearly tar Of 80 per
cent. tepfea upon it. This alone.
1t makes not the slightest differ
ence to the farmer whether his Gov
ernment levios an export tax of 30
per cent. upon his wheat going out
of the country. or whether his Gov
eminent waits until he is paid and
seizes 80 per cent. OF his payment
when it comes into the country.
1t makes not the slightest differ
ence to the farmer whether he ships
his grain direct to Liverpool and inn
ports his payment as return cargo,
or whether he sells to the middle
man of his nearest town and a thons-
and agents perform the work
through thousand by paths Of
trade and commerce. The result is
the same
He must either pay the average
tax of 30 per cent directly when he
imports his payment, or have it
deducted from the price of his pro
duct when some one else buys it for
export intending to import the pay
ment By no subtertuge can he
avoid this average tax of 30 per
cent. The tariff is not to be evadcd
by him.
1t is true that he may load his
ship with grain and exchange it in
Liverpool for its value in amber
beads or live snails, which are on
the free list and may be imported
without tax: but if he exchanges it
for white lead, wire, castor oil, rice
or baking soda, his whole return
cargo will be seized and he will be
sued for the balance due the gov
ernment, for the tax on them is
more than he paid for them, over
100 per cent. If he takes steel rails,
salt, starch. tobacco, varnish, or
secured wool, he will have a rem
nant left ranging from 2 to IA per
cent. The Government only takes
Sc to 9S per cent. as its tax.
Nobody wants the amber beads or
snails, he cannot make the other
pay, SO he lets the niddlemen settle
it, and after all their exchanges are
settled up there is an average tax of
30 per cent. to pay on what he cx-
ported or on his payment for what
he exported.
Our imports arc the payment we
receive for our exports.
Our agricultural products export
ed have dwindEed frome 81 per cent.
of the whole amount in 1860 to 73
per cent. in 1883. Then, in 1888,
only Is per cent of the imports
were, by and large, in payment of
agricultural products exported.
The tax levied at our custom
houses on imports, 1888, was s213,-

payment for agricultural products
exported, the tax on the farmers

The Small nut Sumptuous Apartment
in Which She Receives Friends.
Mrs. William B. Astor's reception
room is a snug, small, sumptuous apart

through asingle window, cased in ebony
wood, and smothered in hangings of
turquois blue silk and indigo tinted lace.
says a New York letter. The walls are
hung in turquois silk, with decorative
dado and a canvas-painted ceiling, and
the ebony finish of the woodwork is as
beautifully polished as piece of onyx.
In the center OF the parquetry floor is
an odd design of small Persian rugs, in
laid, as it were, in a field of garnet
terry. Precious rugs drape the small
divans, and superb specimens of needle
paintings are shown In the chair cover
coverings. The most attractive article
of furniture is a small upright piano of
light mahogany, beautifully embel-
lished with panels of carved silver,
symbolic of music and song.
Figures of cupid and busts of child
rem fill the corners of the room with
beauty, and as the visitor enters she
passes under the glossy green branches
of small palm tree that stands on
pedestal of polished green marble. All
the ornaments are of Dresden china,
and the fantastic beauty and grace of
the figures, the variety of design, and
brilliancy of color produces an effect
both novel and agreeable. On the
walls hang brackets, baskets and pocll-
cts of the ilowery porcelain, and about
the metal cabinet. along the edges of
small stands, and fairly crowding the
piano shelf are shepherds and shep-
herdesses, troubadours, peasant girls,
and cnurt figures, no two alike, and
each outrivaling the other in gayety
and color. Another feature of this
room is the splendid artificial flowers
a variety of decoration, by the way,
that Mrs. Astor is fond of.
Violets, lilies, lilacs. feverfews, hya-
cynths, buttercups and little wilder
ness of field flowers are knotted together
in clustering bouquets and freight the
wheelbarrows, vases and judinieres OF
Dresden china, while in the slender
