The effect Of absentee landlords

Taopi, Mimi, situated in the midst
of a rich farming region, the town is
dead enough to skin. The immense
farming operations carried on about
the place are by tenant farmers, the
landlords only being interested in
what they can garner and take away.
1t is the curse of tLs town, the degre.
dalton of the coma unity. With two
railroads, one Of which ranks among
the very best in the United States,
three-fourths Of the business houses
of the place are nailed up. the Others
having but a sickly existence. 1t
was we'll and wisely said by Thomas
H. Benton, as long since as lS45, in
the first movement for free home
steads. that the health, happiness,
safety and prosperity of the people
and the country depended upon the
small farms, where every man owned
his home and was a part of the gov
eminent.

Under our first tariff-the t8riff OF
1883 which was enacted by wise pat
riotic men, says the Utica Observer,
the cotton goods infant got only 5per
cent. protection, the woolens infant
per cent, the iron goods infant y
per cent. while pig iron got no pro-
lection at all. II Washington. Jeffer-
son, Hamilton and Madison had lived
until the present time they would
have been branded as free traders
and hirelings OF the Golden club.
Now that these infants have grown
to manhood, and are big enough-as
Bob Ingersoll says-to kick out their
nurse, nothing less than 80 to 100 per
cent. will protect them. And the
poor consumer has to foot the bill.

The Balance Of Power in Close Elec
finn4

There is a great body OF conserva-
tive voters in this country about
equally divided between the two po-
litical parties, but not blind followers
Of either. and it il they who actually
hold the balance of power and decide
the close contests. While neither
party can afford to abandon its prin-
ciples for the purpose OF securing this
vote, yet neither can afford to drive
it away by the advocacy Of harsh ex-
IRENE measures. But the loss of this
vote alone by the Republican party
at the recent election will not ac-
count for the overwhelming defeat it
has suffered. 1t is evident that
thousands of others who have hereto
fore consistently voted with that par
ty have either determined to do SO
no more, or to enter at least one eff
fective protest against its abuse Of
the power intrusted to it, and await
future developments before deciding
finally upon their permanent politi-
cal connections From"The Recent
Election by Senator Carlisle, in The
