goodness Of your seeds, which can be hon.
estly recommended and depended upon"
Another, 1--WE don't recollect having been
without your seeds since we put our hands
to amateur gardening, because we have new
err found any that excelled or even approach
ed yours in reliability. For the last TWEEN
ty years your seeds have filled our little
garden with the choicest flowers" These
are some of the reasons why you should

Farmers are Free Traders when They
Sell but Protectionists when
They Buy.

At the 18th annual meeting of the
Kalamazoo County Husbandman's
Club, Rev. w. ID. Simonds, of Battle
Creek, gave a very interesting talk on
"The Farmers of the Future" He
said the future farmer would be a SCI
entiic farmer. All the science that
relates to farming are in their infancy,
but even now the principles the scien-
fist have demonstrated are taken ad.
vantage of in the use of fertilizers, in
the rotation of crops, and in many
other ways. What the future will un-
fold is unknown, but it is reasonable
to expect that there will be more pro-
gress in the future than in the past.
But the most promising feature of his
prophecy was that there would be
better times for the farmers. He
thought in the near future the farmers
would make up and vote together
BY so doing they would overthrow
the unjust compound system which is
dragging the farmer of America into
the ground. AT present he is free
trader when he sells, and protection
list when he buys. In selling his
wheat, corn, oats, ETC., he has to COM
pete with the world in its free markets;
while if he buys the bare necessities
of his table, back or any tools for his
farm, he has to. pay high taxes and
high prices that the large corporations
and trusts may prosper. He told
the wives to kiss their husbands and
bid them good bye free traders when
they went to market with their grain,
but to look with derison at the little
pile of protected merchandise down
in the corner of the wagon box under
the blankets when they welcome the
protectionist husband home. He went
on to refute Mr.. Blaine's argument in
his recent article which attempted to
show that the western agricultural
States have been mere prosperous than
the eastern manufacturing States du-
ring the 30 years of this protective
system. Free Press.

The copper miners of Lake Superior
are getting the same wages now that
they did when copper was drug on
the market at 10 cents pound
WhyH Simply because labor is free
and there is tariff on copper and a
trust back of it to keep up prices. All
the miner can do is to work still and
pray God his wages will not be reduc-
ed. Should he strike his place could
be filled in few hours.-Cheboygan

CONDENSED from Concord Standard.
A meeting was held at the Methodist

made by Mrs. DR.. E. E. Wiley. of the

thrilled the hearts of her hearers as to
the needs of this work-how the brave
men of God and their devoted wives
on the frontier are calling to the wemen
here to here to help them in securing
shelter from the chilling blasts of the
coming winter. Some fifteen names
were secured towards organizing the
work here.

these words:
My dear brothers, | congratulate you;

him; you need not want to be members

know where it will carry you; you don't
know where the storm will drive you;
keep away from everything Of that sort;
you have great conflict with the world,

shall have tribulation, but in me, ye
shall have peace" Keep away from all

jacobs, regarding the electric street
railway system
Figuring has been done both on the
plant of the railway and also on cleo
1rlc Hghtlng under the new low pres
sure metre system. By the metre sys-
tenn Is meant one by which the quantity
OF electricity consumed is accurately
measured just as in the case of gas. It
is far cheaper than other systems,
necessarily.
Yesterday morning careful canvass
or the city was begun with view to as.
certalnlng how many subscribers can be
obtained for lights. This first step is
necessary, in order to give the company
some idea as the power of the plant re-
qulred. Inc price Will depend upon the
number of lights taken For instance,
II | 200 are needed the cost will be less
than for 600. The lights will be of 16-
candle power.
If the orders for lights come in
promptly and are in sufficient numbers,
the purpose is to put thse lights in op-
Grafton, and the street railway also (the
latter on the principal streets) by Janu-
airy lst. This, it will be readily seen,
IS particularly desirable. 1t will entail
an additional expense, but this DR..
Jacobs says he is willing to incur as he
knows it will be in the interest of the
public.
The CHRONICLE is informed that the
canvass made yesterday was surprisingly
successful. Nearly every man who was
called upon decided at once to try the
electric metre system and closed con-
tracts for lights.

The Easy And Sure Way to Make Mon
ey--The Opportunity is Open to Men,

the Same Chance.
Col. @. ". Mckenzie, Of Richmond,
Va, arrived here yesterday. He is ex-
planning the operations of the Progress
sive Benefit Order, which is very unique
and profitable in its workings, and it is
as certain as anything can be made by
human ingenuity.
In brief, it is a kind of savings bank
plan which pays great dividends on the
Investment, and the returns come in
one years time.
The entrance fee to the Order is $5. 90.
ing TO the auUunt of boncft desired.
The plan is such that member who
pays as much as 500. 90 per year into the
Order will, at the end of the year, be
entitled to $100, which he may draw
out, and in the meantime he is insured
for $1,000 per week in case Of sickness.
This sounds rather unreasonable, and
of course some ''Smart Alecs" will at
once turn down the corners Of their
mouths and say the thing can't be done
Does this hit YOU?
Just reserve your Judgment until you
hear the matter explained in detail and
see how simple it is.
A meeting will be held this week for
the benefit Of everybody who may be
interested, and the plan thoroughly ex-
| planned by Col. Mckenzie. You are not
bound to come if you don't wish to; but
if you are after learning the progress Of
the age you will be there.
The plan offers the same privileges to
men, women and children, and there
fore everybody will have cordial invi-
tation to attend the meeting. After the
meeting local association will be or.
ganized.

waslthe most noted political satirist of his
day. What he wrote was quoted every
where, and at dinners he was the Wittest
guest Abraham Lincoln was his warm
friend, and so were Presidents Jackson,
Buchanan and Johnson. His intense
hatred of political shams and his keen
and facile pen made his name re-
nowned. Longfeilow was his class
mate; William Pitt Fessenden,
the ''incorruptible statesman" his col
lege chum; Epes Sargent, "the dreamer"
his friend. When his volume Of ''let-
ters" entitled Way Down East: or,
Portraitures of Yankee Life" appeared,
it not only Immediately attracted ma
tional attention. but Artemus Ward de-
clared him to be the American humorist.
