The story is good one, if it is old,
and has been adapted by Ingersoll just
as he appropriates many other good
things, to serve his purpose. But if
the Tacoma election was a. Jackpot,
what made the little Tribune so anx-
ious to take it? Why did it declare
with so much gusto that the hopes of
the Democrats were blasted; that the
Republicans were sure of winning o
decisive victory; that now or never
was an opportunity for the Republi-
cans to assert themselves. and that
the election of an United States Sena-
tor depended ON the result? Oh no.,
friend Tribune it will not do for you to
treat the matter 30 lightly. Even Bob

ton on that tack. The Jackpot was q

not expect to lose it either. IT'S an

Iie said. in part, IL is now nearly thirty
years since the close of the war hHd given
10 avarice the opportunity 10 prey upon the
self sacrificing patriots of the country.
Measures were resorted 10 for the taxation
OF one class of citizens and the enrichment
of another: there had been legislation by
which the burden OF public debt had been
doubled. silver delnonetized and a high pro-
tective tariff established. He characterized
the protective tafiii as the reason he farm
erS of the United States to-day did not re-
ccive on an average more thAn ten cents n
bushel for corn, fifty cents for wheat and
two To three cents pound for hogs. Every
pretense of home market for the farmer
was fraud, and every pretense Of taxing
whent and oats and potatoes for his benefit
WIS a cheat md n sham. Ii Is q notorious
truth that the tariff as IT now stood in
creased the farmers expense account from
10 to 100 per cent on every implement of in
dustry with which he toiled, and last year
binding twine was raised to Is cents a
pound by trust. He did not believe
the hands of the farmer would hold
the republican ticket at the next presiden-
tial election. Not only hnd there been no
increase in the value of land the last quarter
Of century, but there had been an alb
solute loss of thirty-three per cent. I'm
proved farm lands, under the most favor
able circumstances, would not on the gene
raj average realize more than two-thrds of
what their value had been twenty-five years
ago. Ohio farms are now under mortgage TO
the amount of $500. .000.00. In Illinois
twenty-three per cent. ofthe whole face of the
state is under mortgage. they amounting to
$i02, ,0M,OOO. Forty-sevon per cent. of the
state Of Michigan was under mort
gage. In Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri,
Kansas, Nebraska, and the whole north
west from ~ 10 30 per cent of the farm
lands were under mortgages at such rates
of interest as the farmers could never pay
out of their crops, 20 say nothing of the
principal. The farmers were thus brought
face 10 face with ruin. Nor were the farm
eTs Of New England different in that re-
spect from the western states. The reme-
dies to be applied were: First, tariff re-
form; second, full supply of legal tender
money: third. free coinage of silver: fourth,
suppression by law ol gambling in futures;
fifth. liberal policy Of pensions. Voorhees,
summed ap his arguments with reference
10 a.subsidized press. "blocks of i've" Off
cial patronage, etc.
Wilson, of Iowa, said he desired to read a
letter from farmer of Iowa. who knew by
practical experience more about the condi-
tion of the farming class than the senator
from Indiana ever learned in his readings.
He then read a letter which has already been
published. showing the comparatively low
prices Of farm produce and the high prices
of manufactured goods before the war.

natures 10 the document were forged, and
when Lawyer White WIS asked 20 represent
the plaintiff in the suit he denounced the
scheme MS n fraud and notified the officers
of the express company. Examination

would be only required topay a VIII tax On
that amount. He made such Endorsement
and filed the papers.
The basis OF the suit il a note dated
April 1886, 60 the effect that the express
company is lawfully indebted TO Wagner in
the sum named above, and is signed 10y
VIM. B. Dinsmore. president Of the Adams
Express company. Mr.. Dinsmore died
April 80 lSS. What tho services were

be kept quiet for while. Thore WAS no
dispute or litigation about tho matter bat
the company did not desire any publicity.
He said TO Bryan IL there waa no hitch and
he got a judgment he would give Bryan
$4,000. ~
Ii is claimed that Wagner served a term

similar game in Maryland.
