Protection, as exemplified in the
Republican policy, is vain attempt
to "heal the inveterate canker of
one wonnd by making many.n 1t
is the shrewd game of desperate
party leaders, who have catered to
the avarlce of the few because they
viii bleed freely when campaign
funds are needed, and a ruthless,
reckless and devilish sacrifice of
the poor mans rights in every nook
and corner of the continent.
When a government by and for
the people is changed into govern
ment by and for the monopolist;
when politicians sink SO low that
they legislate for party advantage
only, agree to pass certain extOr-
tiOnate measures in exchange for
generous donations to the next cam
paign fund, betray the rights of the
people to an oppressive syndicate or
trust, as Benedict Arnold sold out
to the British officers, it is full time
for the people to take alarm, unseat
the treacherons party and inaugu-
rate an era of decency and honesty.
The more dangerous kind, how
ever, is seen when political party
undermines the spirit of the people,
deprives them of their rights by
slow degrees, taxes them to the
point of rebellion, plays into the
hands of capital by special legisla-
ton, digs chasm between the very
rich aud the very poor, saps the
enterprise of the masses and keeps
itself in power by an unblushing
defence of all conceivable deviltry.

TAXES ON NEcEssARIEs OF LIFE.-In
a recent debate in the United States
Senate on the tariff, Senator Carlisle,
of Kentucky, said:
E'This enormous increase in taxa
ton is made mainly upon articles in
common use among our people, and
which they are compelled to buy.
There is an increase of more than
ten millions of dollars in the metal
schedule, upon iron and steel and
their manufactures, two articles
which lie at the very base of all our
industries, and without which scarce,
ly any useful occupation can be car
ried on in this country. There is an
increase of nearly $14, 100000 in the
wooden schedule, which embraces q
large and absolutely necessary part
of the clothing of our people, rich
and poor alike, in every part of the
country
There is an increase of 81, 1856, 1856
in the cotton schedule, and an in
crease of more than $5,O00,0O0 In
the fax and linen schedule-two
other schedules which embrace a
large and important part of the cloth
ing of the people. There is an in
crease of S8,735,351 upon tin plate,
which enters into the manufacture
of great number Of useful articles
giving employment to thousands Of
laborers in almost every State in the
Union, and there is an increase Of
S1,357,042 upon block, bar and pig
tin, the raw material used in the
manufacture of tin plate, which, O
course, will increase its price to The
people, because it will increase The
cost of production. There is an in
crease Of $G71,995 on cotton ties, al
article which is used exclusively b,
thx farmers, white and colored, il
the South"

The fact that several Congressman
have refused nominations because
the pay of a Congressman is INSULT
eient to permit him to live Sin the
swim" at Washington, does not show
that the pay of Congressman is
too small but that the way of living
at Washington is too extravagant.
When the honor of representing the
people in the highest Legislative body
in the land is considered in connec-
ton with the salary attached to the
representation, a Congressman is
well paid for his services. The posi-
ton of Congressman should not be
sought after for the purpose of gain,
nor should it give a luxurious living
to him getting it. The present pay
is ample 30 secure the right kind of
men and to enable them to do their
work respectfully, though it may not
enable them to olive in the swim" at

DoN'T BLAME THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
Some people are blaming the Dem
ocratic party for not passing laws
beneficial to the farming class. They
forget one thing-that the Demo
cratic party has not had control of
the National Government for thirty
years past.
True, the party elected President
Cleveland and Democratic Congress
to support him, but all the bills in
PRODUCED by the Democratic House
of Representatives then, that would
have relieved the farmers, artisans
and laborers of the land, were killed
by Republican Senate.
So the evil national legislation
which has injured the people of these
United States should be placed
where it belongs-to the Republican
party.-[Town Talk.

Agricultural Notes.

Low fences induce cattle to at
tempt to get over, and when the
vice of jumping over fences has
been acquired cattle will attempt to
Jump high fences. The rule should
be to have all fences IN good con-
dition.
The North Carolina experiment
station has procured cuttings of the
best varieties of figs in cultivation
in all parts of the world, for the
purpose of testing. 1t is the opin-
ion of the borticulturist of that sta
ton that there is no reason why, in
a greater part of that state, the Gull
tivation of the fig, and drying,
should not be made a profitable oc-
cupation. In Louisiana the Zig is
extensively grown and prepared for
use by canning, making into pre-
serves, jams, etc.
The apple crop in Washington
county, Arkansas, is proving to be
bonanza to that section, says the
Gazette. McHenry and Bryan are
shipping from Prairie Grove nearly
car load a day, and large quaint
ties are shipped to other points.
The profit on an apple orchard is
greater than on an orange grove in
Florida or in California. j. p. Ben
nett, near Prairie Grove, realized
from three acres of 7-year-old trees
S75 per acre. His land is rocky and
thin; and without the apple trees,
not worth $40 an acre. j. j. Bag
gett gathered from one acre 800
worth of apples, and other farmers
have sold $75 worth of apples from
one acre. Samuel Cole paid $1,000
last year for a farm, and will this
year clear $4,000 from his orchard.
The success of Mr.. Ballentine, a
native of North Carolina, in Vir-
GINA farming, is most interesting
one. Before the war he had S27, 1000
worth of slaves, who were of course
freed. After the war Ballentine
had land bnt no help to work it.
He found he could hire the freedmen
and make more money by their
labor than he could when they were
slaves. He is now worth half a
million dollars, made very largely
by growing tobacco, though this is
not his exclusive crop. His net in
come from his 800 acre farm is
SGT 900 per year, and Only a year
or two since he sold $4,000 worth
OF tobacco from ten acres of land.
When he began farming at the close
OF the war he had oily S14OO. He
now grows all kinds of market vege.
tables for the New York market.
One of the first evidences of the
growth of intelligent farming in any
region of country is the good con-
dition of the roads. There is no
one single thing that needs more
attention and nothing elso so in
creases or maintains the value of
real estate. The authorities of
Pennsylvania and New York have
taken up the subject for considera-
ton. 1t is almost to be wondered
at that the farmer will ever want to
be compelled to take this step,
Turnpiking wet or swampy country
will increase the acre value an hun.
dred fold, oftentimes. In addition
to their utility what a charm they
lend to a country district. Good
roads and good fences are proofs
indubitable of the prosperity of any
region.

The Fort Worth Gazette contains
a world of wisdom IN a few short
sentences, thus:
Bring the factories to the raw
material. A factory of any kind
draws the money of other people to
its locality. Every steam whistle
adds permanency and value to real
estate. A people without manufac-
tories are people without energy,
progress or hope. The tin bucket
brigade is the sign and size of a peo-
pies commercial freedom and pros
perity. A people without manufac-
tories are hewers of wood and
drawers of water for manufacturing

WELL GoVERNED.-The Chinese
have a political saying which is
worthy the reading of American
statesmen: 1t is as follows:
"When is the empire we'll govern
ed, and affairs go as they should go?
When swords are rusty and spades
are bright; when prisons are empty
and grain bins filled; when the law
courts are lonely, and o'ergrown
with grass; when doctors walk and
bakers ride. 1t is then things go
as they ought and the state is we'll
