The Farmer And Protection.

What the doctrine Of protection is
doing for the American farmer can
readily be gathered from the follow
ing statement which we take from
the Boston Globe:
Take the thriving State of Illinois,
for instance, with its vast areas OF
rich prairie land, the finest corn pro
ducing section in the world. Accor-
ding to the last report of the State
Bureau of Labor Statistics, the far
mers are rapidly being swallowed ur
by mortgages. During the past TWEEN
ty years this blight has increased
about per cent. But between 1886
and 1887, as the ripper fruit of pro
lection, it increased 81 per cent
At the opening of the present year
the whole number of mortgages on
farms was 92,7S7, on farm values Of
$142, 100000. There are estimated
to be some 34,694,172 acres of land
in the state, of which total 1888 per
cent, are under mortgage, over &c
per cent, of which is to cover loans
incurred in keeping up the farms
"The Situation in Michigan is still
worse, over one half of the farms
there being in the deadly grip Of
mortgages. To sum up the whole sit
uation, the farms of the West are
rapidly being devoured by this eating
cancer, which it seems impossible tc
cut .out.
"These farms were most of them
opened under the homestead act, OF
were purchased at merely nominal
figures. They have yielded richly
and the farmers have labored untir-
ingly to make them stand alone
And yet in spite of all efforts they
have been gradually drawn into the
devouring nav of the interest-takel
and ticketed deathward under mort
cages, from which the farmer finds il
impossible to extricate himself.
And yet these same farmers will
permit themselves to be driven into 9
condition of serfdom through theil
hatred of the South, which the mer
who are constantly robbing them or
the protection theory periodically
excite to divert them from resistance
to the outrageous treatment they are
rncpivinu

TWO NOTABLE LIVES ENDED
General Simon Cameron and Mrs. Ex-
President Hayes Dead.

LANCASTER, Pa, June 26-Simon
Cameron died at 10 o'clock tonight
The Generals condition during the
day was rather encouraging, and
death came suddenly during weak
spell. Up to the last attack he was
conscious and had no trouble to swal-
low the food given him and which he
appeared to assimilate. Around the
death bed were ex-Attorney General
McVeagh and wife, Mrs. Haldeman,
jr., Mrs. Cameron, Simon B. Cameron
and wife, and Mrs. David Watts, a
granddaughter. The funeral will be
held in Harrisburg.
FREMONT, June 25.-Mrs. Hayes
died this morning at half-past six
o'clock after passing the night
quietly.
All night long the surrounding
family watched around the bedside.
Mrs. Hayes lay motionless, and, but
for the faint breathing, and the weak
futtering of the pulse, there were no
signs of life. The anxious watchers
waiting only for the inevitable end,
were bowed with grief, and scarcely
word was spoken the long night
through. The physicians kept in the
background, and the family were
alone with their loved one.
In vain they hoped for slight
rally that might come before death,
so that she could recognize and
speak to them. AS morning dawned
the hold on life grew weaker, and
finally the spirit took fight. In a
voice choked with grief, the physi-
clan announced that the end had
come, and the family's long vigil
closed in prostration and grief. Gen.
Hayes and his four grown sons, Bur
chard, Webb, Bud and Scott, were
deeply affected, while Fannie is near
