FMAaxrcaT, KY. Juxe N.
Ths court Of appeals, i'm an opinion By
Jndee Holt, has decided very important
easb against the Western Union Telegraph
eompany. The action was brought by
Josssh Chapman Cor damages for The tels-
graph company's fAilure 10 deliver him two
tsls8rans. one announcing the dangerous
illnesa Of his father and the other inform
ing him Of his fathers death and when be
would be buried. They were sent from
Franklin to Bowling Green. a distancs Of
about twenty miles, Chapman resided In
Bowling Green, and learning on the street
of the death of his father called nd the tele-
graph of1sce ON Feb. IL and received the
two kilograms. Chapman, In his suit,
claimed he sustained pecuniary loss,
missing donstion from his father Of
promissory note which he says his father
would have given him il he had seen him
In his last illness, and that be was also
damaged in his feelings and affection by
being thereby prevented from attending
upon his father In his last illness and from
attending bis funeral. The court of apA
psals holds substantially that, 90 Chapman
was the beneficiary Of the telegrams, he can
maintain an>action; thas the company Is
liable for damages IL II fails TO use ordinary
diligence Ia compliance with Its contract,
whether ID be to the feelings or the purse;
that the injury 10 the feelings should be re-
garded as part Of the actual damage, and
the jury be allowed TO consider il. The
Judgment Of the lower courtewaa, there

VALUE OF HOME MARKET.

It Is proposed in this paper to point out
as clearly and distinctly as possible the real
value of the home market to the farmers of
the great Northwest, as compared with the
value of the foreign market, which the Free
Trader never tires of talking about.
This argument of the foreign market is
not addressed to the people of the South,
because it is the Representatives. from that
section of the country who favor free trade.
Clearly, therefore, it is not fair to include
the agricultural products exported to foreign
countries from that part of the country,
such rs cotton. The appeals are made to the
farmers of the great Northwest who, as q
rule, favor protection. They are told
that they sell their goods in the cheap
est market and buy them in the dear
est. They are told that the tariff on
manufactured articles increases the price OF
everything they buy, but when they come
to sell they are obliged to compete with the
poorly-paid labor of Europe and even Of Asia,
for India has, within the last few years,
changed from the thirteenth position in the
countries exporting wheat to England to the
third. They are told that the five or six,
or, at the most ten per cent, of their prod
ucts which they sell in the markets of the
world has more to do with regulating the
price than the 80 or % per cent. which they
sell here at home to be consumed by the
millions Of busy workmen in our great cen
ters Of industrial energy who are engaged
in manufacturing all sorts of commodities
which the Free Trader thinks should b'
made by foreign artisans and imported into
this country.
To expose the fallacy of this argument,
have prepared the following table, which
shows in round millions the bushels Of pro
duction of cereals in the United States from
1910 to 1888, with the total exports of the
same, and the per cent. which the markets
of the world have taken of the American

This was onlysthe beginning. Afteryou had
gained your independence you would have
had to maintain q frontier over $500 miles
long against your powerful neighbor on the
North, who would be getting more powerful
every year. You would have had TO main
tain a line of forts, barriers" garrisons and
custom houses extending from the mouth of
the Potomac, over the Allegany Mountains,
across the broad Mississippi Valley, to some
indeterminate point on the plains. How big
q standing army would be necessary for such
q line, in view of the animosities growing
out of the war, and how much would it
cost to maintain it, supply it with arms
and ammunition, keep pace with the
latest improvements in rihed cannon
and magazine guns, etc, and how much
would the Southern Confederacy" lose
every year from the immense body of men
taken from peaceful pursuits to maintain the
standing army? Can you not see that $780,
100000 year for pensions is a mere baga-
telle to pay for the happy deliverance from
such condition of things? Say what you
please, you must know in your hearts that
this is true, and that there was never better
fortune come to any people than to those OF
the South in the overwhelming defeat OF
secession, and the complete extirpation OF
the idea from our political lexicon by the
rude hand Of war. This would not have
been accomplished had not the Union sol
diers fought with persevering valor that
the world never saw equalled. With in
finite cost to themselves they saved you
from the terrible consequences of your
own acts You should be the last ones to
talk about the burdens of taxation involved
in paying these men their dues. They mag
unanimously lifted from your shoulders bur
dens that any other conquerors would have
laid there, even as Germany laid the cost o.
Frances subiugation upon the people of that
country. They took upon themselves the
! payment of hundreds of millions that they
could of right have asked you to pay, and il
| is ingratitude in its most hateful form fol
/ you to maintain the position with regard t.
them that you do.

and pass the bill.

AT THEIR recent meeting in Baltimore
the@nion Veterans of Maryland gave the
Legislature of that State a well-merited re-
buke for its failure TO recognize the Union
soldiers in any way, and especially for its
failure to complete the record of those sol
ders On the other hand the State has
been generous to ex-rebels. It's latest act
was TO donate the State Arsenal at Pikeyille
for Confederate Home, with an annual do
nation for it's maintenance. There il no ex-
cuse for this partiality for rebels. IL is
estimated that not more than 5000 men left
Maryland 10 join the Confederacy and q
large proportion of these speedily secured
"bomb-proof" positions In Richmond, and
held them during the war. 1t used 10 be IL
matter Of serious complaint among the Vir-
ginians that most OF the safe places were
filled by Maryland refugees" On the
other hand, Maryland sent 50,31G men into
the Union army, and among them were as
fine fighting regiments as wore the blue.
The Maryland Legislature has not even the
excuse that the Legislatures of Southern
States make-that the rebel soldiers were in
the service Of the State. Maryland never
seeded, and the men who joined the rebel
armies could not plead that they were obey
ing the orders Of their State. They joined
the rebellion simply because they preferred
rebellion and slavery to loyalty and freedom.
| II was the aristoeratic thing in Maryland To
be a rebel, us it was in other Southern
| States, and the arigtocrats and their toadies
the "poOr white trash ;" sided with the So
called COnfederacy. The middle class-the
plain, hard working, fairly-educated peopl,
there, as elsewhere, sided with the Union
and fought valiantly for it.

One other point and then have done.
Having abolished the tariff, how does the
Free Trader propose to raise the revenueP
The abolition of the tariff it should be
remembered, is the ultimate end of the legis-
lation, of which the bill proposed by Mr..
Carlisle and Mr. Mills in the last Congress
is the precursor.
The only possible way would be by direct
taxation. We must have the money for
carrying on the Government, and for the
misunderstanding pension lists. Has the
farmer ever thought of this and its full
meaningp To raise S2O0,O0O,0OO by direct
taxation is pretty serious matter. In some
countries it would double the local taxation.
To apportion it by population, would throw
the burden largely upon the Northwest, as
the following summary, which have pre-
pared, will show / ask any intelligent
farmer of the Northwest to examine the
following table, and decide for himself which
section of the United States would be COM
PEELED to bear the heaviest burden of this
taxation:
