GOOD FARM FENCE.
One That Combines Strength, Neatnes
and Complete Portability.

One That Combines Strength, Neatnes
and Complete Portability.
Below / give description of what
believe to be one of the best genera
purpose farm fences, as it combine,
strength, durability, neatness. cheap
ness and complete portability. 1t ais,
can be made either in the field on tn,
posts or in the shop or barn.
For common farm fence I would
make it four feet high or for those wht
wish a cheap poultry fence l woult
make it six feet high.
The cost would be about as followi
in this section of country:
a6 picl>ets, aax2Sa in, IT. long. II
strands single No. IL wire. -. .......W
Two-pointed tacts TO staple over wires ..G
Posts 4, in. iron, 4 it. long per rod. .,......G
Sag wire per rod. ..........................G .G
Total cost per rod ................. .......S 3:
The posts / would put about twenty
feet apart.
Use only three strands of single wire
and weave the pickets in and staple
over every wire.
The fence is to be made in lengths OF
venient, unless it is wished as Il per
manent fence, when it can be made il
one continuous length.
The sag wire is only to be stapIad to
about five pickets near their lower ends
and the center carried up and hump
over the top of posts. 1t should be
short enough to raise the center OF
stretch between posts about tive
inches.
The fence is fastened to posts by .
loop of wire wrapped on main wire.
which the post passes through. Tl,t
post should extend little above tn.
center wire and should be driven into
the ground about eighteen inches.
AS poultry fence it will cost abou,
five cents per rod less than as a stoc
fence.
There is no patent on this fence, sc
any farmer can take advantage of thi,
and get good fence cheap.

WHAT'S THE NATTER WITH

WAAx - lAE NATTER WITH

Our esteemed contemporary. the
Hon. GROVER CLEVELAND, must not
make the mistake Of supposing that

d. B. HILL 10 the only one which he
must account fer in the equation Of
1892. Unless all the indications are
deceptive, bis claims are likely TO be
contested by a far more formidable
aspirant-we allude to the Hon. Ar.
THUR P. GoRMAN, of Maryland.
Mr.. german is not the sort of man
who posts a notice of his plans and
sends his boom around for public in
speetion with brass band and poet.
laureate. The suggestion that he has
his eyes fixed on the Democratic nom.
ination of next year may therefore.
come to many in the nature of O sur.
prise. But Mr.. GoRMAN 10 a partic.
ularly astu;e person who does not
make q practice of taking the public
into his confidence; so there is moth.
ing in the fact that his boom hes ex.
hibited the bashfulness Of the violet
rather than the ostentstion of the
sunfower.
A little reflection, however, will
bring out many significant points.
Consider, for example, the extraordi-
nary activity Senator GoRMAN has
developed within the past year. Con-
sider. also. his sudden and unexpsct-
ed prominence in the Senate. The
opportunity that came to him in the
contes. over the Elections bill has
been improved with brilliant ability.
He stands to-day the recognized lead.
er of the Democratic party in the
Senate, if not in Congress as a whole.
At one bound he had come to the
front, taking precedence of the old
and tried veterans, and there are
none who deny bis leadership. He
has displayed qualities hitherto
unsusp. cted. He has disclosed
astonishing reserves of skill, Of
wisdom and of courage. He has
even added to his display of adroit-
ness and Of tact the charm of oratory
and the power of statesmanship.
Unconsidered, two years ago. save
as a practical politician and an cleo.
ton hustler, Mr.. GoRMAN is at this
moment the accepted chief of his
party in all its national aspects, its
pillar of strength in the hour of trial,
it's brain aud lis nerve. Further.
more, be is the idol of the workers.
His sudden eminence in the higher
realm Of politics is not understood to
mean that he has abandoned any of
the methods aud convictions which
endear the leader to his follow.

warding work, and holds that the of

No one can read the papers care
fully, nowadays. and escape the con.
clusion that the cost of nearly every
article in daily use has increased.
The things we wear. the utensils with
our domestic machine is kept 10
motion. the innumerable Injuries
with which we soften our lives, az
we'll as the stern necessities with
which we preserve thsm-all these
have become more expensive under
the operation of the MCKINLEY tariff.
High protection papers like the Cincin.
natl Commercial. Gazette endeavor to
confuse the public mind by such
assertions as the following:
Here is the MCKINLEY tariff ad.
vancing rates with no corresponding
change in marked quotations. How
can this be explained? Foreign pro.
ducers, and not home consumers, pay
the tariff.
But the purchaser who finds that
bis blankets. his underclothing and
his tinware are costing more than
they did a year ago will conclude
that although ths foreign producer
ussy actually pay the import duties
he is certainly paying increased prices
as consequence Of the tariff. Il is
not only imported articles that have
become more expensive. The prices
on homemade articles. protected by
the tariff, have been raised also. To
say that foreign manufacturers pay the
tariff is to employ a very shallow and
futile sophistry. They may pay it.
or they may, in consequence of the
Prohibitory nature Of the tax. refrain
altogether from sending their pro.
ducts here, but it will still be true
the tariff results in higher prices and
that the American consumer bears
the burden. A man who purchases q
hat, or a saddle. or tin bucket, does
not, as q rule, care two straws wheth.
err it was. made in England or in Con.
necticut. But he does care il it costs
him thirty Tor forty per cent. more
than the..last!ons he bought exactly
