An Unusual Rank.

William Murray, guest Of the Grand
Pacific, Chicago, who is one of the
biggest linen manufacturers in Ire
land, tells story which has a local
interest.
a." You hear of any number of bogus
noblemen in this country" said Mr..
Murray in the hotel rotunda last even
ing, but an American who effects q
title in the old world is somewhat
rare. A year ago this summer 1 ar
rived at little town in the south of
Ireland called Dungarwan. The peo-
pie were excited over the presence of
an American official. Flags were fly.
ing, bands playing and everything was
gay. AS was somewhat acquainted
with the United States, l asked the
name of the guest so royalty enter
tanned. Nobody know, except that he
was one OF the biggest men of the
United States and native of Ireland.
Elbowing my way through the crowd
l went to the little hotel, and there
learned that l was to have the honor
of being under the same roof with an
official who stood next to the Presi-
dent of the United States. Invent to
the register to see if the Vice-Presi-
dent was there, and to my surprise
saw this on the book:

The Surplus Gone.

The Harrison Administration began
not quite year and quarter ago. 1t
found an enormous surplus in the
United States Treasury. The Chair
man of the House Committee on Ap-
preparations announced last Saturday
that the surplus is already wiped out
and there probably will be deficiency
Of at least $97 100000 at the end OF
next month, the end of the fiscal year.
Republican extravaganza has sur
passed the predictions which seemed
widest. A great many plans were de-
vised to dissipate the accumulated mil
lions under the impression that it
would take some time and considerable
energy to empty the groaning vaults.
But none of them had been set on foot
when it was suddenly learned that the
surplus had mysteriously disappeared.
The previous Administration had
started a systematic discussion to ar
rive at some statesmanlike method Of
restoring that vast sum of money to
the people to whom it belonged and
to adopt measures to lesson taxation
in order to prevent unnecessary accre-
ton of revenues. But the Harrison
Administration came in and the sur
plus melted like dew before the rising
sun and there is nothing to show for
it. The Republican record of ex-
trav ,gance, corruption, fraud, political
robbery, usurpation, fanaticism, tyran-
ny and incompetence will be the issue
in falls campaign.-Clereland Plain-

How They do Things in Greece.


A special from Athens, says
" Wanted, an cxecutioner" has ever
since the year 1884 been the cry of the
judicial authorities. Modern Greeks
are SO averse to the vocation of hang
man that no object of King George
has hitherto been found willing to
perform the behests of law. Mean
while criminals condemned to death
have been having a high time. A
headsman has at length been found in
the person of one Roukis, himself a
convicted assassin who signified his
readiness to save his own neck by de-
capitating number of others. Roukis
has been placed on board the man-of-
war Naupia, which will make trip
around the Greek coast, landing where
occasion may require and proceedings
to towns where murderers are waiting
their doom. There are eleven of the
miscreants to be dealt with. The
last capital execution in Greece
occurred in the year of 1881. In
Greece the public executioner is re-
garded as dishono,el pariah who
any citizen is ut liberty to MAIN or
kill, and even on board the Naupia it
has been found expedient to protect
Roukis from the resentment of the
crew by confining him in an iron cage
from which he will only emerge when
his services are required.

BOB INGERSOLL IN HE'LL.

genial Bob, ,"who dreamed that he
died and went to heaven. He wan
dered through the place without meet

and started.
He came to a most charming
place, and entering, was amazed to

When We come to compare the ac-
tual amount of the representation OF
the farmers, both in our National and
State Legislatures, with the amount to
which they are entitled, both in re-
spect OF their numbers and property,
an astonishing disproportion is re-
vealed.
OF the four hundred and eighteen
Representatives in Congress, less than
ten per cent. are farmers, while the
residue is composed of professional
men, bankers and merchants. In the
State Legislatures the proportions are
not very different.
As long as this is the case-as long
as farmers suffer themselves to be rep
resented by men who have no interests
in common with themselves, whose
advantage it is, indeed, that the laws
should be as complicated and obscure
as possible-farmers cannot hope that
their interests will receive proper at
tention.
If this state of things be suffered to
continue, the farmers will have them
selves to blame for their various griev-
ances. Our farmers are not by any
means altogether free from blame for
the condition into which public af-
fairs have drifted. They have allowed
their business to monopolize their at
tention, blind to the fact that, while
their assiduity may have netted them
dollar, designing rasca!s were laying
their plans for robbing them OF fifty
cents. As class, they neglected to
inform themselves upon the current
topics of the day, and have therefore
fallen easy victims to political swim
dlers.
But now that they have awakened
to their interests, VIC see the work OF
political regeneration making cheer
ing progress, and still the tide is ris-
ng.-COmmOner.

LoNDoN's NEW TOWER.
1t 1st Be Just Twice as High as the
Eiffel Structure.


When the Eiffel Tower, at the Paris
Exposition, was demonstrated to an
immense success, both physically and
financially, London began to talk
about building rival structure, 1900
feet high, and then New York, with
characteristic emulation, began to
talk of building one 5000 feet high.
The New York project ended in talk,
which was also characteristic, but the
London scheme is making progress
and the tower is in fair way to be
built.
1t is under the management of Ed
ward Walkin, who is famous as the
protector of tunnel under the Eng
lish Channel. which his bold compat-
riots are afraid to build, lest it might
admit q foreign foe, and his energy is
sufficient guarantee that the tower will
be erected as soon as possible. 1t is to
stand on the Thames embankment, in
a fashionable part of London, and as
it is to be twice as high as the Eiffel
Tower, it is, of course, expected to be
twice as great an attraction.
There Sis no doubt that it will be, if
not because of its height, then because
OF its unique character. Itcan scarce
ly fail to be something novel and curl
Gus in the way of architecture, for no
less than 24S architects and engineers
are preparing designs for it, and it will
be very singular if something new and
extraordinary shall not be evolved
from 50 great a number of brains
trained in the devising of new forms
and combinations.
There are, however, great difficulties
in the way of a variety of designs.
The necessities of the situation forbid
fantastic architecture and elaborate
ornamentation. When M. Eiffel
built his tower he found himself re-
stricted to the simplest of all shapes
light structure of open iron work,
which the wind could blow through
without overturning, and which would
not fall down of its own weight. Still,
the builders of the Tower of Babel had
a radically different design, and were
getting ON very well with it when
stopped by circumstances over which
they had no control; so perhaps the
24S artists will evolve a design quite
as feasible at M. Eiffel's and q great
deal prettier.
The London towers is appropos Of
nothing in particular. 1t is simply a
business speculation, like a cyclorama
or new theatre. There are enough
sight-seers in London every day to
make it profitable if it becomes pop
ular fad, and as the idea has not yet
lost its novelty there seems to be no
good reason why q visit to London
hereafter should be considered COM
plete without visit to the Watkin
Tower.

higher price. Thus is the cost OF the
farmers supplies increased and the
price Of his product reduced.
The protectionist pretends 10 the
farmer, that the effect of the tariff
upon the manufacturer is to reduce
the cost OF what he sells-,le knows
we'll that the manufacturer is too in
telligent to believe this-while at the
same time he tells the farmer, that
the effect of protection upon him is to
enable him to get higher price for
what he grows! He relies upon the
farmer being too hard worked to have
time to study the absurdity OF this.
The facts are that protection enriches
the monopolist and impoverishes the
worker everywhere.
American labor can only be protect
ed at the expense of American labor
whatever one trade gains, Others have
to stand the chance Of it. Those, who
like the farmer. never need protection
at home and can only be injured by
it.
If the Mckinley tariff bill is passed,
l repeat, the farmer will pay more for
what he grows, more for cost of living,
and the market for the sale of his
products will be injured.
The duty ON potatoes is advanced,
but some years we export more pota-
toes than we import. We import po-
tatOes, when our crops fail, hence the
only use of the duty is, to aid by max
ing scarcer food, that is particularly
the resource of the poor, at times when
nature has been least kind to them
at times, l should add, when the
farmer has least to sell. TO my mind
the idea of coming money by getting
Legislation to help in starving my fel.
low beings, is something really das
tardly, but not more conspicuous fol
wickedness than stupidity. The adj
vantage only being offered the farmer
when he has nothing to sell.
The fact is that Mr.. Mckinley.
New Farmers Tariff is only con
idence game, that his party is making
great clatter about the increase o
duty OH the farmers products, in order
to draw attention away from the rea
benefciary-the " campaign boodler,
on the principle of the juggler, who
has something else to distract the at
tention, while he is performing hi
trick. Duplicity is seen everywher'
|-thc farmer and the workingman ar,
made the victims. These politicians
know the power OF their mighty mum
bers, under whose opposition their alb
lest efforts would be hopeless, and the,
seek to enlist them, by influencing
their unworthiest prejudices, befogg

tricks seem SO shallow, that l am quit
sure they cannot long mislead.
Questions OF national economy arr
not in reality SO intricate as man!
suppose. They are determined by th'
same principle of clear common sense
which people apply to questions o
private economy.
When our farmers once learn t.
think for themselves, the victory i.
won.

Oats and corn together amounted to

10 cents, 500 so: thrash bill, Il cents
for 1860 bushels, $5O.4O; cash help,
$22 board for same at the rate OF 50

man, nine months, at SIS per month,
$l36; board at - per week, $72; seed
corn, IL bushels, $l1; feed for horses
one year, 20 quarts of oats per day to
each horse (912 bushels at Is cents),
$l36SO; interest al 8 per cent, on the
$3.50 for horses and machinery, $6S;
for depreciation in value from time
and wear 40 per cent.), $S5, making
whole amount, without any profit
from the labor OF four horses, $685.
That deducted from the $720 leaves
the farmer for his years work, $20.O5.
AT this rate in a few years his horses
and machinery will be worn out and
he will be worse off than when he
started, as he earned the money to
purchase them before he started.
Now how does this protected Amer
lean farmer compare with the free
trade English cabinet maker whose
wages increased from 1915 week in
1850 under English protection prices
to $1O.5S week in 1880 under Eng
lish free trade prices. The $431 year
for thirty years was as good for that
workman in free trade England as
$500 year would have been to him
during the same period in protected
America. Some one might say that
my farmer is an exceptional case, but
any one acquainted with farming will
see that the amount of acres is all
that two men and four horses can
work, that his crops were up to the
average, and that the figures won't lie
to his favor. give the results of his
work because / am familiar with his
circumstances, and he markets his
crops Che is compelled to) as first pro-
duced and gathered in, which is the
only true way to ascertain the cost
and profit of producing them. The
man has wife and two children, has
been on the farm four years, and is
worth, considering the depreciation of
his horses and machinery, less than
when he commenced.
