Owing to the very small number
OF republicans at present in town
there is very little being done in
the Sperkership campaign. Four of
the candidates are here but they do not
seem to be worrying over their chances.
Every week it has been thought that
next week the fig hit will begin in earnes.
Up to date there has been no fighting,
not even the mildest sort of a skirmish,
and, there is no sign of any, though you
are told on every side Just wait till
next week. = If there is to be any
fighting, which very much doubt,
it will be short, sharp and decisive, and
will not begin until the republican eau
Gus meets.
Postmaster General Wanamaker is
convinced that the civil service law
is a failure as far as it applies
to appointments in the Railway
Mail Service, and he is anxious to
have these appointments put under
control of the Postmaster General.
Ex-senator Platte, of New York, was

man was shrewd enough to find it out.
He spent some time with Secretary

New VorINo SYSTEM

A letter in Harper's Weekly from a
voter in Massachusetts, where the new
voting system has boon placed in opera
ton, is SO comprehensive that il is in
serted here entire:
"There were two extra poll clerks
and the voting places looked rather
strangely. There was an entire abb
sence of heelors and ballot distributors.
When you enter tho room you find
space rallied oil at one end. At one
side (the left at our poll) there was a
gate; behind the gate were two poll
clerks-one with registry list and one
with ballots. You enter and give your
name, which is called and checked you
then receive ballot, and 60 to the back
OF the enclosure, where there are sever
al alcoves, each with convenient shelf
and couple Of pencils. Opening your
ballot you find the names of all the can
didates on it. These are grouped I'M
der headings of the offices for which
they are nominated IT as, Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, etc, also a di-
rection-vote for one, or two, or three,
as the case may be.
Under each heading the names are
arranged alphabetically, followed by
the name of the party to which they be-

responding to the number of names to
be voted, { one where you vote for one,

the names presented, and want to exer-
clse individual choice.

names of your choice. Having marked
all you wish, you fold your ballot,
names in, and go to the ballot box.
Here is another man with another check
list, who checks you off as you hold the
ballot at the mouth of the ballot box.
When you are checked, the man at the
box turns the crank; your ballot is
drawn, and marked on one side by two
red lines; bell rings, aud the number
is registered on the front Of the box.

FARMERS SHOULD FAVOR PRoTEc-
TON

The attorneys for free foreign trade
are persistent in their appeals to the
farmer. Processing the utmost solici-
tude for his welfare, they seek TO mis-
lead him into the support of a policy
that will inevitably impair the puichas-
ing ability of those who are now his
chief customers. Ninety-five per cent
of all the products OF American farms
are now consumed by the American
people. A large majority of these would
be unable to buy in quantity and quail
ity as they now buy were it not for the
wages received for labor in industries
which, under free trade, would be di-
vided if not altogether given over to
people fed and clothed from the pro-
ducts of foreign fields.
In return for his aid in overturning
the existing business arrangements the
farmer is promised lower prices for
what he has to buy, and is asked to be-
lieve that foreign customers will be
found to take the place of those he may
loose nearer home.
The fallacy Of such teaching, as well
as the hollowness of the promise, lies
in the assumption that the farmers sue
cess is any less dependent upon a gen.
eral prosperity that that of his fellow
men in other callings. Farming is but
one of the essentials to complete
national economy, and farmer can no
more make his business profitable in
the absence of good customers, than can
the merchant or manufacturer. And
his customers must necessarily be found
outside of those who are engaged In
agriculture. Without steady work and
far wages for laborers, mechanics.
clerks, and the army of working peo-
pie who now find it more for their in
terest to buy than to produce the varied
products of the soil they consume, the
farmer would be compelled to conIine
his efforts to few products that can be
shipped abroad.
Equally unreliable is the free traders
contention that the farmer getsn bene-
fit from the existing tariff. During the
year ending June 80, 1889, dutiable field
products, such as live animals, bread
stuff7s, milk, butter, cheese, hay, hops,
tobacco, vegetables, wool, were import
ed to the value of over 100000. To
this sum may be added the items of
hemp and flax amounting to 81 800, 600
and the more than 100000 worth of
fruits on which duty was paid. Every
dollar exacted from foreigners. for the
privilege of selling these articles in
competition with the products of Amer
lean fields, served as protection to the
producers of similar products.
The free trade policy of England has
reduced the number of her farms, as
we'll as the profits from those remaining
under tillage, and as similar results will
surely follow its application to this
country, the farmer should be the last
man to vote for change in that di-
rection.
