At the late meeting Of the farmers
organization in Delaware. of which the
president and majority of the mem
bers were Republicans, a report was
adopted in which there was reference
to the statement of the presidents mes
sage that the protective principles
should be applied to the products of the
farms, as well as the workshops. This
sounds well, but somehow it didn's
strike the intelligent Delaware farmers
as having the solid meat i'm it. They
even intimated that 1t was an unwary
slip of the message maker, and adopted
this significant statement:
The words are pregnant with a wider mean
ing than the writer ever dreamed of. Let
congress take them as a guide ana never fall
ter till the burdens of society are equally DIS
tribuled and the chances of profit offered
now to the few are open to all. If the pro-
tective principle is not susceptible Of this
fair application to the products of all our in
dustries. it may be question for honest
study whether the princip does not mean
plumber instead of projection.
They fail to discover how the presi-
dent would, in following out his
theories, afford them any share in the
bOunties the people pay to special in
terests through the agency of the tariff.
The wheat growers of the West held
convention at st. Lou is some little time
since, and puzzled over the conundrum
as to how they could realize better
prices for their wheat. They read the
words of the president, but failed to
find the application. The only scheme
they could think of was to combine and
hold back part of the crop, but that was
not deemed practicable. They are
waiting for the promised protection.
The farmers in Kansas and Nebraska,
who are burning corn for fuel because
there is not enough of the home market
to afford remunerative prices, would
like 10 have the president explain how
they can have share in the benefits of
tariff protection. The reports of the de-
partment of agriculture show that the
prices Of agricultural products aver
age the lowest known in this
generation, at least. In all the
Northern and Middle Atlantic states
farming is at the lowest ebb of which
there is record. The grange lecturer in
Maryland says farming is a lost cause
in that state. In none of those states
are there any signs of agricultural pros
perity. In New York there is a shrink
age of farm lands of 25 per cent. In
New England the depression is still
greater. The situation is not as bad, of
course, in the newer regions Of the
West, but there is little to inspire en-
thusiasm. Crops have generally been
good, but where are the farmers who
are doing more than making living?

yOuched for as the picture of a reliable

illustration of the situation commonly In
towns where prohibition Is In the law.
Ii Is written at Wavcrlv, To-:

there never was time in which so much
liquor was drunk as at present;. never n time

counties do not differ materially from this in
the matter of enforcing prohibition. Our

Senator Brown, of Georgia, has not
put in an appearance at Washington
this session. His health is poor. and he
will not be able to do much work this

of the session and given Gordon his

KING soLoMoN,s WEALTH.

While TALMAGE scars and stamps
dramatically, he becomes accurate in
money matters. In one of his compu
tations he finds that King SOLOMON
amassed S, 400. 100000 in gold and S., 49,
0O1. 1886 in silver. He Omits the odd
cents, for some reason. Those are
magnificent figures: so large, in fact,
that it is not surprising that the wise
man could afford to live sumptuously
every day with frequent FOUNDERS that
would be counted evidence of rapidity
now. A st. Paul preacher last Sunday
preached about SOLOMON and figured
out his annual expenses at only s20,0O0,-
600. but that may be simply table and
buffet incidents. He had 1000 wives
and an assortment of habits that would
not put him among the WANAMAKERs,
TALMAGEs and other good people Of
this age. He was sagacious and dis
corning but terrible mOnopolist. Pro-
lection made the streams of gold and
silver flow to him.

THE Pan-American gathering at Washing
ton evidently takes lessons of congress in de-
liberation, or it really has no object to de-
vote its energies for the furtherance of.
There was an impression that it was con-
vened to considerer the business relations of
the several countries represented with the
United States, but nothing has been accom-
plished or considered but the adoption of
rules. The members of it are devoting their
time to pleasure visits to Eastern cities, and
are undoubtedly enjoying themselves. II
this is all te be done, the investment will
have small assets. But it has been given out
that Mr.. BLAINE is to make his campaign for
president in 1892 sonorous with South
American airs, and he may be reserving the
development to the proper period.

THERE is pertinency in the suggestion that

CONFIDENCE is good thing IN candidate,
but it may prove embarrassing at tiSnes If
put in such shape as to be noticeable after
it is found misplaced. For instance, the Re-
publican candidate for governor at the late
election in Iowa had such assurance in the
result that he rented his house at Waterloo
for term as governor, secured residence
at the capital. and provided for his appoint
ments. Probably the gentlemen designated
upon his military staff had their uniforms
made. But the heartless voters threw him
into the soup, all the same.

Spokane Falls New Line.

The Union Pacific railroad, having
completed its line to Spokane Falls,
Washington Territory, is running its
trains direct to that point, thus forming
the most desirable route from the east on
account Of its Palace Pullman sleeping
cars, and free Pullman Colonist sleeping.
Spokane Falls is situated in the Palouse
country and if the distributing center for
section of the northwest, the resources
of which are unlimited. As an illustra-
ton: $4,000 bushels of wheat have been
raised from 1000 acres of land. Another
feature OF the country greatly conducive
to the raising of crops is the rainlesi har-
harvests, no rain falling while crops RE
being harvested.
Many desirable farms may be had in
this remarkable productive region on rea-
sonable terms, and more favorable OPP
portunity for procuring farm cheap will
not soon present itself again.
For pamphlets descriptive OF the coun-
try, or for rates, time tables or maps per-
tanning to the Union Pacific railway apply

of this company, or the undersigned.
