The Tariff and the Farmer.


But we are told the tariff protects
the farmer. Let us see if it does.
Never in the history of this nation has
farmers tariff duties and their mortgage
Indebtedness been SO great as they are
to day. In 1867 the average value per
acre Of the wheat crop of this country
was S23,05. During the past ten years,
that is 10 to 'SS, inclusive, q have
not the statistics for 1897 it has only
averaged $1O.5S per acre, or not half
what it was 1867. Corn since 1867
has gradually gone down, down, from
SlS.S7 per acre Until 1888 found it at
$3.50. Barley drops during the same
time from $40 to Sl0.15 per acre. Rye
from Sl724 to $3.50. Oats from
SlG.05 to 81 80. Buckwheat Sl9.l1
to S6.72. In 1867 the cereal crops Of
the United States covered only 65,-
636. Ala acres. The total value of said
crops was reported at 1924, O37 500.
10 1887 the area was 4l,82l,3 15
acres, valued at 81 ,204, 2o7,370. Thus
it will be seen that while the acreage
and consequently the expense and labor
in 1887 was considerably more than
double what it was in 1861 the farm
ers' receipts were nearly S80,00o,COO
less.

According to DR.. Lcuf, when waite

According to Dr. Lcuf. when water
is taken into the full or artly full
stomach, it does not mugIe with the
food, as VIC arc taught, but passes along
quickly between the food ard less, I
curative toward the pylorus, through
which it passes Tito the intestines. The
secretion Of mucus by the lining mem
brance is constant, and during the
night a cons iderable amount ac3umu
latcs in the stomach; some Of its liquid
portion is absorbed, and that which
remains is thick and tenacious. IF food
is taken into tie stomach when in ills
condition it becomes coated with ills
mucus, and the secretion of the astric
juice and its action is delayed, These
facts show the value of goblet Of water
before break fast. This washes out the
tenacious mucus, and stimulates tie
gastric glands to secretion. In old ard
feeble persons water should not be
taken cold, but it may be with great
advantage taken warm or hot. This
removal ofthe accumu lated mucus from
the stomach is probably one of the
reasons why taking soup at the beginn
ing of meal has been found SO bene-
fetal.

The Grippe.

The visitation of the grippe has pretty
well passed away and few new cases are
being reported. 1t prevailed about six weeks,
the first case Of genuine grippe being DR..
Jas. Johnston, who was seriously sick with
it for three weeks. Only one death followed
an attack of it, and that was Dr.. John
w. Harris, who continued to visit his pa
attack Of pneumonia, which proved fatal.
During the prevalence of the disease it be-
came an epidemic in two weeks after it's
appearance. Nearly every minister was
down with it, The Furniture Factory and
the Shoe Factory were compelled to shut
down few days by the sickness of their
employees. The attendance of children at
the public schools was largely thinned out
while it lasted, and it involved the Asylum
and the D., D. & B. Institution. In all de-
partments of mechanical work operations
became uncertain, for Workmen were taken
down with great suddenness. Nearly all the
letter carrier force had it, and one, MI. N.
NJ. Warner, was seriously i'll of pneumonia
following it. 1t crippled nearly every bust
uess, and in the VINDICATOR Office the
printers were taken down with it one after
another. One would hardly report for duty
before another was taken down. In almost
every case Of genuine grippe, the full re-
storation to health was delayed by weak
ness and cough, which lasted long after
the other symptoms had disappeared. In
l,oc 10, hoy hanr,
ill of it, save where there were complica-
cations-and they were not numerous with
other diseases, bronchial affections being in
the majority. The Doctors, like everyone
else, furnished their quota OF victims, but
they stuck to their work and we met one
going the round of his patients with bis
own temperature at 1890.

Seriously Wounded.

The fact was noticed last week that E. r.
Cox painter from Staunton, nephew of
MI. Frank Cox, had been shot in Hinton
on the Saturday previous. The Hinton
Independent gives the following particu-
lars of it:
Son Friday night last, three men be-
came involved in a quarrel near Hotel
Perkins of this place, which resulted in
the severe if not fatal wounding of one of
them. 1t seems that two men from Tai
colt, named French and Dove Crawford
were spending part of the day in Hinton,
and met with E. r. Cox who lives here, in
the billiard room of Hotel Perkins. Dove
Crawford, who was somewhat intoxicated,
offered to bet Cox twenty-five dollars that
he could beat him playing pool, but upon
Cox putting up the money Crawford backed
out. French Crawford then offered to bet
one hundred dollars shot at the shooting
gallery, but Cox declined. The two Craw-
fOrdS then became somewhat noisy and
were elected from the room by the proprie-
tor. About Is minutes later Cox started
for home. Hardly had he gotten outside
the door, however, before angry voices were
heard, followed by two pistol shots, and
Cox came staggering back shot through the
left arm and in the back. The evidence
shows that these shots were fired by French
Crawford, while Cox was engaged in a
struggle with his brother, Dove. A pre-
liminary examination was held on Tuesday
and French Crawford was held to S., 600
bail, while Dove was discharged Cox is
dangerously wounded, one bullet having
passed through his lungs. DR.. S. P. Peck,
however, who examined his wounds, ex-
presses some hopes of his recovery
