They who know Sheppard, the Van
derbilt son in-law, who edits the New
York Mail and Express, doubt the
truth of the runner that he offered the
Sultan of Turkey 81 900 900 if he would
turn Christian. They donbt that the
deacon's love for souls is such, that he
would pay SUCH flattering sum for a
single or even million souls. The dea-
con'spiety greatly outstrips his liberali-
ty, little thing that alls good many
of us.

SENATOR FRYE Of Maine joins SEN
ators Sherman and Farwell in recon-
mending practical free tlade with
South America. At least he would re-
move the tariff from sugar and South
American wool, if they would admit
some of our goods manufactured of
course-free of duty. That is good
enough tariff reform for anybody-as
far as it goes-and it goes far enough
to prove that just in proportion as the
tariff barrier is removed, export trade
with foreign countries is made possible.

states in the union were represented
IN that body. In the second place,
there were eleven tariff states repre-
sented-counting Indiana. which cast
10 votes for. and7 against the resola-
tions-and only seven democratic
states. Again, Ohio cast "a votes for
the resolution and none against it.
Does anybody in the light OF the recent
election in that state, suppose that
such vote represents the sentiments
of the average Ohio farmer on the tar
III? If he does, he is a simpleton or q
cracked brain. Again Kentucky, q
tariff reform state from Alpha to Oma-
ha, from hell to breakfast" to use a
highly expressive phrase, coined by
Henry Watterson, cast votes for and
7 against the resolutions. In other
words, that state was on the fence in
the convention, and did not know
whether it wanted Chinese tariff wall
or no tariff at all. What preposterous
nonsense, that is. To all intents and
purposes, Kentucky had no representa-
ton at all in the congress.
Iowa cast her entire fifteen votes for
the resolutions. Leaving out the
governor, and considering that the
legislature OF that state lacks but six
votes on joint ballot, of being demo-
cratic ana tariff reform, did that state
have fair representation in the con-
gress? OF course not. Even Colorado
cast her five votes for, and not one
against the resolution. What foolish
and absurd juggling and trifling with a
serious question.
The congress was plainly a packed
jury, and organized for a special pur-
pose. This is quite evident from the

which met few weeks ago at st. Louis

After all, the tariff resolutions are
only of a conditional, or quasi-protec-
tive character, SO shaped of course to
gull the grangers. while congress
maintains the protective system, etc..
ETC." This simple ruse was employed
to catch the gudgeons, and it succeeded
to a 7. While the endorsement of the
protective system is only of a quasi or
semi-fraudulent character, the dema-
gOgues will point to them as genuine,
and ask congress to accept them as
representing the sentiments of the
farming communities of the country.

to toe, from center TO circumference.
