The American Farmer.

During the hot, sultTy season when
the President IS resting at Deer Park.
Blame shifting the cold breezes that
play about Bar HarboI, and the Dis
tons. DObsons and others of the tariff
fed monopolists are enjoying the SALTY
air or the watering places that line the
shores of the middle and lower Atlantic.
The American faTmeT' is busy at
work. To him there comes no week of
rest from work and care. for surcease
Of labor with him means loss of crops
and inevitable ruin. While he is sweat
ing beneath the boiling sun of July and
August, the editors in the employ OF
salt trusts, sugar trusts. steel trusts and
various other com mbiDatious, are busy
arranging the figures of the crop report.
One OF these tells US that Trade is
usually dull for this season, but the ex-
eelient condition of the crops gives a
comfortable assurance to us that agri-
culture, the basis of all our wonderful
prOspersty in the past. will again light
en- the dark gloom of despondsncy
which at present lowers upon our nians

Exactly so.

Tor this, how is he rewarded ? Taxed

CoEPoRAL TANNERS halcyou and
vocifeIous proceedings says the Phila-
delphia Record, seems destined to meet
with dark and bitter ending. Both
President Harrison and Secretary Noble
have "shut down" on the Corporal.
The officials who are engaged in reor-
ganizing the medical examining depart
ment of the Pension Bureau openly
fout him, and pay no heed TO his re-
quests or demands, The word has ap-
parently gone forth from headquarters
that Corpora! Tanner shall no longer
shovel out the surplus according TO his
own large and generous notions, but
shall follow the strict bent and letter OF
the laws. Moreover, it has been said
on Republican authority that after the
National EncampmeEt of the Grand
Army, TO be held in August, at MiIwau-
kee, shall have come and gone, the
place that now knows Tanner will know
him no more forever. This will be sad
news TO tie hopeful Democracy, which
had confidently counted upon Tanners
powerful assistance TO aid them in
sweeping the country in the next Con.
gressional election.
The Corporal SANDERS the veterans of
the war by assuming that the Grand
Army approves of his insane wastefuI.
ness. Even IL that organization should
90 far depart from the principles upon
which 1t was founded as to approve OF
pensionsb by wholesale, it would be cheap.

Army organization-s pension of $1,000

idio'ic squandering Of public funds OF

political sponsors and friends. The
bell has rung for Corporal Tanner.

THE prospectus of the North AmeIi-
can Salt Company says the New York
World, is the most impudent thing seen
or heard in this country since Tweed,
with complete exposition OF his Ias-
calities before the public, asked ::
What are you going to po about il ?''
The prospectus insults the intel,i-
gtnce of the reader by assuring him
that while the company purposes to
own or control nearly aii the salt works
on this continent it does not intend 10
establish monopoly
In another paragraph we are told that
it intends rigidly To limit production
TO prevent "Tuiuous competitive
prices" but that il will permit enough
salt Co be produced in its works ia each
year to give each person in the country
a years supply, and that it does not in
tend to establish too high prices,
though it proposes to take to itself .
yearly profit OF s.. OOU 900.
But the full measure of the impu-
dence underlying the scheme is seen
only in that part OF the prospectus il
which the public is informed that the
American people will not be permitted
to escape from the clutches of the mon
opoly by abolishing the tariff duties on
foreign salt. The new company has
taken care of that by placing some of
its stock where it will do most good. 1t
has entered into arrangements with
combination of foreign producers by
which they become interested in main
tanning the monopoly, and will refuse
To sell their salt for shipment TO the
United States except at prices which
will not disturb the compsDy's control
of the market here.
These gentlemen enjoy a corporate
franchise from the State of New York.
In view Of their avoWed conspiracy
with foreigners to checkmate any at
tempt OF Congress to open free compe-
tition in prime necessary of life it
may be worth the Attorney-Gensral's
while TO inquire into the validity OF
charter which is avowedly to be used
not only for the fleeing of the people
but also for the null;dcation of acts of
Congress.

The several committees which re-
ceived moneys for the sufferers by the
late floods have says the Philadelphia
Times, honestly endeavored co perform

funds but they hs.ye failed 10 do il
satisfactorily to the sufferers is obvious
to all.
Doubtless the committees and those
Immediately representing them are un-
justly eensured by the Johnstown peo-
pie but that has not shaken the pub
lie faith in their integrity. Ii has,
however, widened and deepened the
conviction that the best possible dispo-
sition that could be made of the entire
fund would be to hand it over at once
to the local inance committee of Johns
town.
The local committee is composed of
admittedly honest, intelligent, repre>
sentative men, and why not let them
deal with the countless peTplexing pro-
blems which logically arise ID the dis
tTibulon Of such a fund ? They are
known to the sufferers they are in

A Return TO the Days OF Brains.

The atmosphere of the United States
Senate seems to have a corrosive in
huence on the fortunes of Its members.
The latest wrecked fortune that we
hear of is that OF WashbuTn of Minneso,
Ia whose immense wealth, mas in the
less statesmanlike profession of grinding
-four, has begun to take wings unto
itself and fly away. When his prede-
cessor, Sabin. was elected he was one
or the greatest car bnilders in the
country. When Tom Ferry OF Grand
Haven went into the Senate for Michi-
gan he had a fortune of large size.
When he quit he was on the verge of
the bankruptcy which came and ruined
him. Sharou's fortune was measurably
decreased while he held office from the
pocket borough, Nevada. Sprague, q
Senatorial millionaire from Rhode Is
land, went into the soup financially.
These are only the big ones ones whose
losses were so large as TO become public.
Perhaps it may be one of the secre;
ways OF Providence to make member
ship in the Senate appear less inviting.

brains rather than Doodle shall be a
