FACTS ABOUT THE TARIFF.

Farmers should read up on the
tariff question and should think,
says the Parkersburg Sentinel.
Nails, glass and tin are protected.
So, too, are wheat potatoes and
apples.
The first three are manufactured
products. The others are all the
output of the farm.
Every speaker tells you that the
agricultural interests are the life,
the prosperity OF the country, and
upon the farmer and the results of
the farmers labor depend every
clement Of busincs for its success.
But note the result of the in
creased tariff on the farmers pro-
ducts, and likewise OF the products
of the protected factories.
The tariff on wool was increased !,
and ut once every article Of dress
goods, clothing or carpets, OF which
wool is a component part, advanced
IN price. Every storekeepcr and
housewife shows this to be true.
Instantly, however, the wool
which the farmer had to sell dropped
in price. Every wool raiser knows
this also to be true.
The tariff or tin was increased
and instantly the price OF tin and
tinware advanced about so per cent
and 1T is still up, firm and station :
AIRY.
The tariff on apples was increased, +,
and the farmers are now offered IS
cents n barrel for first class, picked
winter apples.
And so it goes throughout the
list. There is a pretended tariff on
farm products. but when the farmer
goes to market with his stuff he
sells it for just what he can get for
it and the tariff helps him just
about rs much as the prayers OF a
Siberian exile. And when he goes
to buy manufactured product he
pays the price asked him.
The farmer has no say as to the
price Of the article he wishes to
sell, or buy. A protective tariff
has attended to all that for him.

Sam Jones, the evangelist, was
born IN CartersyilIe, Ga, in 1s49,

several Of his near relatives having
been ministers in the denomination.
After receiving fair academic
education, he studied law, and for
u while WAS successful FRACTION
er, although he alleges that he was
also hard " character, a gam
bier and drunkard. His friends
admit that he may have been trifc
lively, and occasionally blundered
into some wicked scrape, but they
are not slow ia defending his gen
erous, gay and jovial nature, and
deprecating his habit Of making
people believe that he was once an
iron-plated, stiff backed, hardened
old sinner.
The death, in 1870, Of the father
Of Sam Jones, was the turning
point iu the career Of tho hitherto
thoughtless man. From that time
he began TO regard life from a
Christian viewpoint feeling that
he was called 10 serve the Master in
new field, be abandoned his law
books, disrupted his former associa-
tione, and entered upon tho work Of
an evangelist. For ten years be
laborcd zealoudy IN The pulpits Of

First-That the minimum school
term be increased to six months.
and the State school levy to fifteen
cents on the one hundred dollars.
Believing that the Legis-
lature has acted wisely in providing
for graded course Of study for
our country schools. We pledge our
selves to carry out. as nearly as
possible the course of study that has
been formulated under the direc-
ton Of the State Superintendent.
Third-That rs Christianity and
Education 60 hand IN hand in clc-
waiting the human race, we bind
ourselves to make firm and deter.
mine stand against any measure 10
remove the Bible from the public
schools of the State.
Fourth-That the teachers salary
be uniform tl roughout the county;
that the Presidents OF the Boards
OF Education be authorized TO fix
the same at their annual meeting
and that the railroad tax be appor.
toned among the districts in pro-
portion to their enumeration.
Fifth-Realizing that our success
as teachers depends largely on the
kind Of tools placed in our hands.
We respectfully request the Lcgis-
lature to substitute. rs SOON MS pos
sible, Montgomery's American His

Sixth--That IN rs much rs the
efficiency OF our country schools,
which are the very foundation of
our learning and liberty. is depcn-
dent upon the qualification of the
County Superintendent, it is the
sense Of the teachers of Preston
county that the Legislature should

cessful teacher, and that as a re.
cbmpense for these qualifications
his salary be made equal to that
