Drip Ling 4 Farm.

Nv homeless friend with the
Chromatic nose, while you are
stirring up the sugar in a ten-cent
glass OF gin, let me give yon fact
to wash down with it. You say
YOU have longcd for years for the
free independent life of the farm
er, but have never been able to
get enough money together to buy
a farm. but this is just where
voa are mistaken. For several
years you have been drinking ii
good improved farm at the rate Of
100 square feet at gulp. II you
doubt this statement figure it out
for yourself. An acre of land
contains 1850 square feet. EST
mating, for convenience, THE land
at $43.56 per acre, you will see
that it brings the land to just one
mill per squaresfoot, one cent-for
ten square feet. Now pour down
the fiery dose and imagine you
are swallowing strawberry
PATCH Calm five of your friends
and have them help you gulp
down a 500 foot garden. Get on
a prolonged spree some day, and
see how long time it requires to
swallow pasture large enough to
feed COW. Put down that glass
of gin; there's dirt in it-10O
square feet Of good, rich dirt,
worth $43.56 per acre.-Btrizetfe.

Saturday Night.

How many kiss has been
given, how many curse, how
many a caress, how many a kind
word, how many a promise has
been broken, how many heart
has been wrecked, how many a
loved one has been lowered into
the narrow chamber, how many a
babe has gone from earth to heav-
EN-, how many crib or cradle
stands silent now which last Sat
urday night held the rarest Of all
treasures of the heart.
A week is a life. A week is a
history. A week marks events
of sorrow or gladnessv of which
people never have heard. Go
home to the family, man Of bust
ness! Go home, you heart-erring
wanderer 60 home to cheer all
that awaits you, wronged wait of
life's breakers Go home to those
you love, man of toll, and give
onenightto the joys and comforts
fast flying by! Leave your book
with complex figures, your dirty
work shop, yonrbusy store! Rest
with those you love for God only
knows what the next Saturday
night will bring you. Forget the
world Of care and the battle OF
life which have furrowed the
week. Draw close around the
family hearth. Saturday night
has, awaited yourcoming in bitter
est tears and silence. Go home
to those you love, and as you bask
in the loved presence and meet to
return the loved embrace Of your
hearts pets, strive to be a better
man, and to bless God for giving
bis weary children 50 dear . step

Eternal rs Saturday night.

Where will the Republicans
stand on the tariff question in the
next campaign ?-BASNER.
This is not a very hard conum-
drum to solve. The Republican
party will revise the tariff where
ever it may stand in need Of re-
vision; but will stand solid as a
rock against the free introduction
of foreign manufactured, goods
brought into active competition
with American labor. American
labor must and shall be protected.
-Huntington Gazette.
This is net il fair answer, @war
like" Mcintosh. How will the
tariff be revised, will it be wool
and other raw materials, or will il
be manufactured articles upon
which the rates must be- cuts
Willthe tariff be adjusted in &C,
cordance with the price, of labor
and material, or will the higher
rate advocated by Secretary Win
dem be the basis? Come brother
Mac, have an opinion Of your
own.

During the last Presidential
campaign. Republican papers and
Speakers Impressed the dear peo-
pie with the idea thai the Repub-
.lican party were the only true.
tariff reformers, and that they
were simply in favor Of. protect
ing the American .>ser, Z that
capital needed no protection ar.l
asked none, but that our tariff
should be 20 adjusted GO make
its basis the difference between
the p ic Of 'a',or It raw materials.
in this couslry and in European
countries, Now as they are about
to iErapIle=aMth~ he tariff and
lEsing majority in both houses
tof Congress and the Executive,
Secretary Window uses the fol-
lowing language in his first annu-
Fal report:
!" 4 tariff based upon the dIirer-
ence in. the cost of labor and ma
tcrials, in this and foreign coun-
tries, will fail of its purpose in
times of over-production and de-
! preston in competing countries.
! Foreign manufacturers :lre-conl-
PEELED to maintain their extensive
establishments in order to manu-
| facture at the minimum cost, and
as this is the only country that
! will buy more thapis needed fol
1 present demand. it becomes, al
such times, the dumping ground
| for all manufacturing Europe.
/ All these conditions and prac-
i tices of trade should be carefully
'Fronsfdcref in framing tariff
either for the purpose of protec-
ton or revenue"
What right has Secretary Win
dom or any one else to assume
that the American people are
more idiotic than the rest Of the
world, and that they will buy
things for which they have no use
simply because they are cheap.
/ This mode of argument is adding
insult to injury. If the policy Of
the Republican party is to fasten
the present Ubiquitous and III
equitable tariff by which the rich
are made richer and the poor
poorer, for all time, why. not have
the manhood to say SO in plain
Ifssrgfiislf,, why talk off#any revision
of the. tariff, If it is not to be
made in The interest Of all cl.sses
OF our people.

Hon. Thomas G. Green, of JEFF

judges of the Supreme Court, died
at Charlestown last week. 1t is
expected that Governor Wilson
will appoint Daniel B. Lucas or
some other kicker to fill the
vacancy Wayne Neps.

There is farmer in Sampson coun-
ty who has been farming in a little
way thirty-three years, has sold ac-
cording to his books 6,537 bushels OF
corn; has given to the poor 3S1 bush
els: never bought or used any foreign
fertilizers; his name has never been
entered on the debtor side of the ac-
count book of peddlar, tinker, mer-
chant, lawyer, doctor, minister or
editor, all because he was educated
to make his home supplies and also
some extra to supply his less wise
neighbors. 1t requires only a mod
crate amount of sense to accomplish
such results, yet how many fall short
