IS TARIFF A TAX.
Farmers Will Find out when They
Come to Town to Buy Goods.

The President has signed the tariff
bill and it is now law. If the advo-
Gates of the bill have told the truth as
to its effect the country will now enter
upon an area or orunexampled prosperity
New manufactures will spring up all
over the country, giving employment
to hundreds of thousands of men now
unemployed; farmers will cease com.
planning about hard times and high
taxes, being too busy harvesting crops
and selling them at high prices in the
home markets that will spring up al
their farm gates; protection will send
up wages and put down prices so that
the wOrkmen will all be able to get rich
with fewer hours of labor. Everything
q man has to sell, whether labor or pro-
duct, will bring higher prices because
of protection against competition and
everything he has to buy he can get at
lower prices because of the competition
which protection will develop. This,
it must be confessed, is a paradoxical
statement, but it is merely repetition
OF the claims put forth in support of
the tariff bill that has now become the
law.
One result of the passage of the bill
will soon make itself apparent. The
farmer coming to town to make pur-
chases for his farm or his family, and
the mechanic'swife going to the store
forher household needs, will find that
a dollar will not go as far as it did be-
fore the anticipated passage of the Nc
Kinley bill cast its baleful shadow upon
the 'home market" When the farm
mer finds that he will have to sell more
wool to buy shoddy coat and more
wheat to meet current expenses, and
the workingman discovers that the pur-
chasing powerlof his weeks wages has
diminished instead of increased as
promises each will have an object lesson
on the tariff that will not be difficult of
comprehension Defiance Democrat.

Restored After Five Years.

Five years ago little Johnny Hale,
thena lad only s years old, was stolen
from his home, near Marion, Ind, by a
band of gypsies. The distracted parents
spent several years trying to find traces
of their missing boy, but gave up the
search, mourning him as dead The lad
became attached to his gypsy friends
and followed them on their pilgrimage
through the western states. The other
day a boy-none other than Johnny
Hale--stopped at the residence of a
farmer named Joseph Weikel, living near
Elkhart. His clothes were ragged and
he had the appearance of a boy tramp.
He told Mr.. Weikel that the gypsies
with whom he had been making his
home had maltreated him and that he
had run away, hoping to find his way
home to his father and mother. The
parents atMarion were telegraphed, and
the boy nourned for dead for five long
years is to be restored to them. Chicago

tells how, when boy, he went to Washing
ton with consuming desire to see the Presi-
dent, and how, during his stay, he made a
remark to that effect in the hotel in the
hearing of an unknown elderly gentleman.
The latter accosted the boy and told him If
he would be at the hotel at ten O'Clock the
net morning they would go together to the
White House and call upon the President.
The boy readily accepted the proposition and
the engagement was kept. It was not until
after the White House was reached and the
boy had heard his companion addressed as
the President that he knew that he had
talked with and ridden through the streets
with the very man he had desired so much to
see. Mr.. Buchanan was then President.
