The protectiOnists succeed in foOhng
some farmers into believing that a high
tariff benefits them. 1t is marvellous
that this should be 80, but 1t is. Ihey
even make some farmers think that
their industry is protected by the
tariff. How this can be when this Is
an exporting country as to produce
fearing competition from nowhere and
meeting it in the markets OF the world,
il is hard to realize. Every farmer
who will inquire can easily ascertain
that the impOrtations of farm pro-
duce into this country are insignificant
in mount, and that if they were ten
times as great il would not effect the
prices of our grain one penny, as that
is fixed in Liverpool in any event. NO
farmer complains that he cannot sell
his whe at, pork, or beef. lie can
always do that. What he does find
fault with is the low prices That prevail.
These prices are beaten down by our
boycotting of foreign manufactures,
which brings retaliation against our
farmers. There is no good reason why
the entire crop of 1889, which was
many times larger than that of 1860,
should have brought less money to ls
producers, but it did. Republican
farmer friend. don't you think You
should inquire into the cause of this
depression?
That the census enumeration OF Mis-
souri, has been tempered with for
republican ends seems to be too plain
for argument. Take for instance the
9TH congressional district. The Troy
Free Press says OF it:--''There are
three cities in this congressional dis
trict-St. Charles, Louisiana aud
| Mexico-which, 1t was confidently
thought, would return 5000 inhabitants
or more. According TO the census
returns, however, Mexico has only
a, 976 and Louisiana 1890. st. Charles
| was so far over the limits that il could
not very well be dropped below. Now
the question which naturally arises is
| did u state Australian ballot law
haye anything to do with fixing the
population of Mexico and Louisiana
Ii looks very suspicious, this thing o
one town only lacking ten and Tho
other only "a of enough to bring l
under the provisions of that law. W.
are not sure but that it would be
good idea for the entire seventh dis
trict 10 make a grand kick.''

Senator Cameron,o of Pennsylvania, has
come out flat-iooted in opposition TO
the force bill. He said last Monday
81 shall vote against the federal cleo
tons bill in whatever form ii may
assume. | am opposed TO it on princi-
pie and in its details. The south is
now in a quiet condition. Northern
capital has been falling into the south
in great quantities. Manufacturing
establishments have been created and
are now in full operation, and a com
munity of commercial interests is fast
celebrating sectional lines, and will
result, in the not far distant future, in
forming one homogeneous mass Of PEG
pie, whether living in the north, south,
east or west. The elections law would
disturb this desirable condition and
produce ill-feeling between the north
and south. 1 am therefore opposed to
the passage OF the bill, and shall assert
my independence as q senator to vote
against the measure"

that Mr.. Blaine would have us trade,

Yankees are manufacturers Reciprocity
with England means a big customer
tor onr farm products, but 1t also
means competitiOn with the fat factors

willing to trade with South America

Many years ago a Polander named
Kulick Vojeck came TO this country
promising his wife to send for her as
soon as he made money enough. Tie
wife waiting day after day finally came
to the conclusion that her husband had
deserted her and came to this country
TO find him. After searching in various
places and failing TO find her husband
she, in the most destitute of circuin-
stances, fell i'll at Mansfield. Here a
Hungarian who was working in the
laDorers camp came to her assistance,
| paying her doctor aud giving her what
aid was necessary. After her recovery
he took her to his house, where she,
| thinking her husband had deserted her,
remained. Vojeck still remembered
| his wife and when he made the neces
| sary money sent for her TO come to him
and finally learned of her removal to
America. He started i'm search OF her,
and alter a long journey and advertis-
ing he found her in Pittsbnrg. She
consented to return to Michigan with
him and they went to the house OF a
friend. IN the night she disappeared
going back to Antoine WinZler, the
Hungarian. Her husband had them
both arrested and after a long CONVEX
sation agreed to give mp his wife ii
Winzler would pay the expense of his
journey in trS ing to find her, which
amounted to 300. Winzler went out
at once to collect the money but was
only able to raise $25, when an agree
| ment was Dir W up STIMULATING that IN
addition to tho 1925 in cash Winzler was
TO day $6 every month until the 800
should be paid in full. After which

wnAr THEY THINK.

This is the ray the Salt Like Trib-
nne puts it: Tho Courier-Journal
very stupidity asks: "When u Mon
fana Senator meets aNeradaS Senator.
what does each think Of the other?"
They do not think OF each other Mt all.
They are lost in wonder ut the stupid
ity and heartlessness OF Eastern Sena-
tors and public men, who SEQ ten
million farmers and planters working
for nothing and still refuse to undo
the wrong which has wrought their
ruin. They listen while Democratic
Senators and editors continue to
Shrek that it is the tariff that has
brought the trouble, aud to Repubii-
cans who talk rs wisely us 50 many
asses that the principles OF sound
finances must be adhered to, e II
tho farmers and planters starve, aud
that to rcmonetizo silver without the
consent Of Great Britain would jeop-
ardize our gold reserves, rs though
there vas any in the argument,
or as though it concerns the farmer,
whose farm was sold Under mortgage
foreclosure Yesterday, what becomes
OF the gold. They think about one
twelfth part of all the gold in the
country ,-nearly double the amount
mined was seat away last year, and
wonder if that keeps up tho decade
or years to come, what, b. that time,
tho goldite will found TN argument
against silver money on.
They think of the ono hundred and
fifty thousand men in tho Western
desert who wont 10 work to devclopc
the lead mines when lead was worth
9 cents per pound; who, while the
consumption has increased four hun
dred per cent, have reduced the price
90 per cent; who, in the meantime,
have paid to tho farmers and manu-
f%acturers OF tho Eastern States moro
thousands of dollars than all tho Re
public of Mexico has hundreds in all
the years OF the past, and then think
of the shameful injustice and pure
idiocy of tho proposition which is
being urged by n vast portion OF the
Eastern rcss-includiuS the Courier
Journal--to permit Mexico lead ores
to come in without paying any duty,
though tho whole number OF men
who would bs boneitel By the wrong
does not exceed one hun lrcl.

How She Persuaded Her Husband

How 4 Persuaded Her Husband to
Take Her to Europe.
"Women arc smarter than men every
time" said the manager Of q largo tour
list excursion business in an argument
over the respective qualities Of the
sexes to a New York Times reporter,
land I can tell you n little story to back
my statement that 1 think Is q clincher.
When l was in Chicago some years ago
an elderly lady came into my Office ono
day and asked me to prepare q trip to
tho continent for he. husband and her
self. l set TO work on 1t tho following
morning and had just about finished tho
schedule when n man camo rushing in,
introduced himself as the husband OF
my previous days caller, and told mo to
top my work. lie said he did not want
to 60 to Europe, and he wouldn't 60,
md no would be blessed IL his vito was
going either. lilo notified mo also that
40 held tho family pursc-strings. and
hen departed.
~ threw tho schedule away with q
mild obiurgatory remark about female
ways and startco in on something clsc.
..IIalf an hour later in came tho lady
and said that l was not to bother with
what her husband said. She told mo
that tho trip was going to be made. n
that he was going with her, and that
when she made up her mind TO do any
thing she generally didit. She left aonc-
hundrcd-dollar guarantee with mo to
finish upthc itinerary, and wcntahead.
"Vyhcn the starting day came around
the husband walked in to SEQ nc, paid
ID like a little man, and went away
with his tickets, but he offered no OK
PLANTATION as to his change OF mind.
''In the fail of that year l met tho
couple on the steamer coming home,
and one night over u cigars tho hus-
band told me the story of how his vito
persuaded him to take the trip.
".She didn't say 4 word to mo on tho
subject said he, after the day l called
on YOU to countermand her orders, and
Iswelled with pride to think how easily
had knocked the idea out OF her head.
On tho Sunday morning before l called
on you again We went to church as
usual, and after the sermon and just as
| was preparing my mind for dinner,
tho pastor nearly stunned mo by
announcing that my wife and l were TO
start for Europe in a ew days, and
that We wished the prayers Of the con-
grcgation. All eyes wcre turned on
our pew at once, and every body joined
in tho requested prayer. What could
do but look thankful? 1 had a bad
fifteen minutes walking home, and
didn't enjoy dinner q bit; but tho funny
sido Of the affair struck me in tho after
noon, and before long l was congratu-
lating my wife on her clcvcrncss, and
looking forward with interest to tho
Journey myself"

SENATOR STEWART.

Senator Stewart is prolific in ex-
pedien.s to make himself solid with
all classes Of people. Ho jumped in
with both feet on the proposition to
annex Idaho to Nevada until he
found that it was not popular with
our people, and then no dropped it as
suddenly rs Il little nigger would n
hot dodger.
He threw tho weight of his gigantic
intellect into tho irrigation problem
until he thought no had the people
of Nevada in the hollow Of his hand,
under the impression that like Moses,
when conducting tho Children of
Israel through tho Wilderness, he had
only 10 snito tho hill.sidcs with his
rod to produce streams Of living
water throughout tho length and
breadth of Nevada.
Hc posed as the especial champion
oil silver until he thought he had the
scnlps of his constituents at his belt,
and then his mighty brain evolved Il
Silver Bill which, while ostcnsibly a
snlvc to tho lacerated cuticlo of the
silver producers OF the Pacific Coast,
would satisfy the gold.huga OF Wall
street whose interests ho could not
afford to antngonizc by introducing
n bill for the free coinage of silver.
Last, but not least among his fcats
OF ground and lofty tumbling, no pro-
poses to conciliato tho saloon clement,
a Very important factor in Nevada
politics, by monkcying with tho beer
question, having recently formulated
and introduced n bill regulating tho
manufacture, sale and importation of
lager beer, defining pure and adultcr-
atcd beer, fixing pains and penalties
for dispensing adultecated beer under
the gtisc of pure, malt liquor, and
providing that tho impure article
whom imported shall pay tho Same
duty rs tho pure, which is defined to
be that manufactured from hops,
malt and water alone. Verify Santa

Once, when | was editing q paper il
Cheyenne, having straycd as usual into
the rotunda OF tho Inter Ocean Hotel,
seeking to discover topics for editorial
mention, l saw that there was only ono
man in the room, says a writer in tho
Tacoma Globe. lie was an elderly gem
tleman, in n suit OF blue jeans and
broad-brimmed hat, and his mustachc
and goatee wero as white as snow. I
fell easily into conversation with him,
and no had spoken but a few words
when knew he was q Kentuckian-bo-
Ing n kentuckian myself. Having been
rubbed against tho hard sido OF tho
world for many years l can discern tho
difference between dialects in many of
tho Southern States. After q short con-
versation tho old gentleman injected:
II gethcr, sab, from yo' mannah OF
speech that so ar q Southern man, sab.
Ell it's n far question, sah-what por-
ton OF tho South ar you from, sah?"
/ replied: 81 am q ~Kentuckian, sah."
Great heavens, is that so?" he ex-
claimed. Look hyar, sab, I am a Ken
tucliian myself (just as IL I hadn't
known it), and this Is Jest about tho
tirno OF day, sab, that / am in the habit
OF indulgin' in somcthin' In tho nature
OF a stimulatin' beverage. Won't you
walk with mo into tho other room, sab,
and partal'c of something of that char
actah, sah?"
Very promptly I responded Eyes," and
VIC walked away together. AS VIC wcrs
going along no placed his hand on my
shoulder In a very fatherly sort Of way
and said, inquiringly: you like a boss,
sah?"
YES" I replied, nobody likes q good
horse better than l do, sah."
That's right" no continued; that's
k~aintucky, sah."
When wc had reached tho counter no
said to mo in an almost pleading tone,
as II no feared l might do something TO
bolio my nativity: "Whnt arc you 90
Ing TO choose in tho way OF beverage,
sah?'
Almost ignoring his question I spoke
to tho gentleman in white on tho other
side and said: "Givo mo O littlo cl'ar
whisky, sah."
Tho old gentleman caught both my
hands In his and said, with an accent Of
tho deepest satisiaction:
by grill You a q K%aintucl,ian, sab,
