knires and swords.

There are some instructive things
revealed by an inspection Of the cutlery
paragraph of the metal schedule of the
Tariff bill now in the Senate. The
duty, under the existing law, on pocket
knives Of all kinds is 50 per cent That
would seem to be high enough, but it
is not as the following schedule of the
new duties will show:
All kinds Of pocket and pen knives,
erasers, etc, valued at 80 cents and un-
der dozen-duty, II cents dozen and
80 per cent; valued at 90 cents to Sl.50
a dozen-duty, 50 cents dozen and
80 per cent; valued at s1.5O to $500 a
dczen-duty, 81 dozen and 50 per cent;
valued at over So a dozen-duty, 81 a
dozen and so per cent
Twelve cents dozen on knives worth
50 cents is equivalent to duty of "a
per cent, which, added to the so per
cent, raises the tariff tax on the cheap
est knives to "a pee cent at the least
Knives worth 81 dozen are taxed 100
per cent, and 50 through the schedule.
These things are necessaries, and they
are, for the most part used for pacific
and praseworthy purposes.
The next item in this paragraph in.
cludes swords, sword blades and side
arms. On these articles the duty OF S5
per cent remains the same. A very
beautiful poem, written by James Shir-
ley has this line:
some men with swords may reap their hc'd
But the American farmers do not, 4.
is believed belong to that class. Many
OF them would not know what to do with
sword II they had one. So, as they
don't buy swords to any great extent it
was useless to advance the duty II 1t
were put too high, the farmer would
simply swear of on swords
Knives, however he must have; hence
up goes the duty

farmer may also be heard Now, when
the voting roll IS called, and our gzri-
cultural interests are reached, the an
sweriug voice is butan echo, or is silent
as the grave. We ask that the farmers
have the privilege Of exchanging the
cereals he raises for articles he must
buy in al the markets of the wor d
where fair treaties of reciprocity can be
made for the articles exchanged Our
home market is good, and will always
be ours for the products Of our farms,
whether high or low tariff shall pre-
va |, but if we have no other
market, and grow enough to feed
twice the number of our
people, as we could hardly
prevent being done, and have no outlet
for our large surplus, We should then
begin to understand what real poverty
was. We believe there is no better way
to raise what money is necessary to car
" on our Government than by tariff
tax on imports. What we farmers do
object to is Congress creating a neces-
sity for large amounts of money by in
creasing the salaries of office holders
and creating places for others not need
ed, and otherwise expending at least
one hundred million dollars annually
in wasteful appropriations to get rid Of
our surplus; or, in other words,
they are trying TO bring our expenses up
to our large tariff income, when their
efforts should be to bring our expenses
down to an actual need"
All of which is respectfully referred
to the Home Market Club, of Boston.

roads IN the country, and yet right IN
this county the recent valuation OF
farm lands show falling of Of nearly
3 QCO 900. Nj. Sherman crawls out
Of an exceedingly small hole,
when he tries TO explain this
beautiful situation, By saying that there
Is no large town actually within the
county. This is new lin tat.on upon
the home mar ct theory. 1t is no long
er enough to be near a big town; you
must be in the same county, after
awhile the same township. with it
New York City has no influence on
Brooklyn, and Jlfsgy City might as
well be in the Sudan.
But Mr.. Smith tries it again. Butler
County is almost within speaking dis
lance Of Cincinnati and Dayton; within
It's own borders it has the stirring man
uiacturing towns Of Hamilton and Mid
d.etOwn, in both OF which towns real
estate mas largely increased in value
during the last ten years. The county is
amply supplied with railroads, it is in
the great Miami valley, which is cele-
brated for its beauty and fertility and
yet the farming lands have fallen in
value, as shown by the official valuations,
8. .OG3. 3G7 between 1880 and 1890 In the
very township in which Middletown is
situated lands have deprecated to the
extent of S2Oj, 200; and in the township
in which Hamilton is situated they
have deprecated to the extent OF $780,
$50
So it is with every township in the
county.
The city of Columbus, with popula-
ton close on to 100000, is the county
seat of Franklin County. This county
is one of the greatest corn-productng
counties of the State. Columbus is an
important manufacturing and railroad
center and it is prosperous, substan-
t.al, rapidly growing and wealthy city.
But here, too, farm lands are worth less
by ST, 13s, 1856 than they were ten years
ago. 1t does seem that Mr.. Smith has
made out hiscase; and tits likely that he
is speaking with great moderation when
he says:
