"Governor A. b. Fleming was. in

them is Hon. James III. Couch, Jr.,
Hon. Rankin Wiley, Jr., Hon. Jas.

That old wheelhorse and able
Democratic editor of the REGISTER
Geo, w. Tippett, is getting a big
boom for State Auditor, and nearly
every prominent man in the State,
who comes to our town, has a good
word to say for him. He is well
known all over the State; stands
well in this county, is popular, and
would carry it by big majority.
Our town is growing steadily, and
many new buildings have gone up
during this open winter, and many
fine houses, both private and busin-
ess, are contemplated for the com
ing spring.

"Protection hits the farmer in
two ways. 1t does have an ininr-
ious effect on the price of his pro
duce, for in proportion as we refuse
to buy from Foreigners we injure
our own foreign market tor the sale
of our surplus products. But this is
a comparatively small matter. The
great injury the farmer receives
from the tariff is that it increases
considerably his expenses. by rails
ing the cost of almost everything he
has to buy. While, therefore, we
never even thought Of charging the
present low prices of farm products
10 Mr.. Harrison, we do say without
hesitation or. equivocation that the
system of protection which he was
elected TO represent is in part re-
sponsibIe for the fact that this hard
year finds so many farmers without
anything laid by against rainy
day, or, worse still, with heavy
mortgages hanging over them and
no money to pay the interest.

The Farmers And The Tarta.

, The st. Louis. Republic has pro-
cured mass ofinteresting testimo-
ny concerning the condition of the
of the West and Southwest from the
farmers themselves that reveals
enough of woe to appall even the
greedy tariff beneficiaries who are
yet loudly clamoring for more 'pro-
lection" The first installment, oc-
cupying an entire page, covers rep
resentatiye counties in Illinois.
Kansas and Missouri, and from all
quarters come the same stories of
abundant harvests that are profit
less, industry that is fruitless and in
debtedness that is ever increasing.
why, writes one farmer from
Galloway county, Missouri, actual
ly it takes 100 bushels of oats to
buy man a cheep suit of clothes. F"
at takes a load.of wheat or corn
now to buy an armful of store
goods is another version of the
same plant from the Atchison
county, (Kan.) farmer, and this is
the burden of the refrain all along
the line.
Among the most significant re-
ports upon the condition of the far
mers published by the ST. Louis
Republic is one very brief note
which brings us to the inevitable
result of a condition of markets UNI
der which it. is impossible for
the inland farmer TO get enough
out of his crops to pay expenses of
production. It's from, the Circuit
clerk and recorder of White county.

of your correspondent, will state
that since July the /, 1889, there
have been fled for record 300 mort

dred mortgages in seven months in
a fine agricultural county, Is it
any wonder that high tariff organs
with one accord exclaim against the
proposition to sburdenr the census

strange that farmer Cox, of Win
field, Kan, standing beside his
huge corn wagon, awaiting a buyer
at thirteen cents a bushcl, should
come to the conclusion that the .ssoon

lection the better for u.s. About

WASHINGTON. March l9.-In the
Senate to-day the resolution offered
by Mr.. Voorhees, last Monday as to
agricultural depression was taken up,
aud Mr.. Voorhees, addressed the
Senate in relation to it. He spoke
of the deep, strong current of ankle
~, discomfort and alarm prevailing
IN farming communities, and said
he proposed to aid them in the in
quify as 10 the causes of the exis-
ting depression.
lie characterized the protective
tariff as cause and not a blessing.
He was dealing not with u theory
but with condition which even a
blind man could look at and draw
from it an unerring conclusion.
The farmers of the United States
did not, receive on an average,
more than ten ccntss II bushel for
their corn, fifty cents for their
wheat, and from two to three cents
Il pound for their hogs.
The time xroultI come at no dis
tant day, when the farmer would
look on the proposition TO tax him
and his wife and children for the
benefit of other people besides him
self rs he would look on law of
Congress to establish the army
worm and weevil on his wheat, to
infest his cattle with murrah and
his hogs with cholera Every pre-
tense of u home market for the FAR
ner was a fraud, and every pretense
of taking wheat and oats aud pota-
toes for his benefit was y cheat and
a sham.
dent truth that the tariff, as it now
stood, increased the farmers ex-
Hpense recount from thirty-five to
one hi-..dred per cent on every i'm
plcment ofindustry with which he
toiled, and last year binding Irvine
had been. enhanced to 16 cents a
ponnd by the tariff and Irvine trust.
lie did not believe that the hands
of he.farmer would hold a Republi-
can ticket at the next Presidential
election. He declared that, not
only had there been no increase in
the value of land for the last quar-
ter of a century, but there had been
an absolute loss of 33 per cent.
Ii the improved farm lands of the
United States We're put to sale to-
day under the most favorable cir
cumstances, they would not, he said,
on Al general average, realize more
than two third of what their value
had been 20 years ago.
In the face of such appalling facts,
who, he asked, wonld euIogize the
workings and results of system of
tariff protection which had for a
continuous term of % years accom-
plished nothing nothing save the
and amusement of
wealth in the hands of few pro-
tected people? The remedies to be
applied were: First, tariff reform;
second, a full supply of legal tender
money; third, the free coinage of
silver; fourth, the suppression by
law of gambling in futures; fifth, a
liberal policy of pensions. As Mr..
Voorhees, took his seat there was
great applause in the galleries and
on the floor.

is source of alarm, even to men

And yet Republican politicians have

President Harrison is reported
to be alarmed at the way his parti-

the sort of alarm, however, that
stings public servants into renewed

flashes forth a new revelation of pub
lie economy. Being in the treasury

rison is probably alarmed only lest
