The Schuyler. Illinois Citizen is very
anxious that the Sucker State shall
have the Republican Presidential AN
didatc next year. and names her most
prominent citizen in the following
manly style:
Illinois has hut one man. known TO
the world as superior 10 all others as
a standard bearer, who would not be
considered in his dotage, and that is
Robert T. Lincoln. His name and
record stands at the top-most pinnacle
in every respect and his candidacy
would inspire the hearts Of Repub-
licans as in 1861.

Farmers, it is dangerous TO delay
any kind of work too long. Last
week John Melloway, ofBoone county.
was in his field husking corn, when
he was struck by lightning. Had he
done that work last fall he might have
been able TO husk a much larger crop
this fall.

1t is a fortunate sign of the times
that we are gradually learning to re-
cognize this all-important and redeem
ing fact, that cheap labor by 10 means
means chcap'production: that. on the
contrary, low cost of reproduction and Il
high wage rate 90 hand in hand. This
may seem paradoxical, but on closer
examination it will be found TO been
tirely logical and in keeping with Tie
facts and philosophy of the economy
of production.

How far the Democratic party of
the country has gotten from Thomas
Jefferson and his views Oh the tariff!
Here is one of JcfrcrsOn's utterances
on the subject:
The prohibiting duties we lay OH all
articles of foreign manufacture. which
prudence requires us TO establish at
home with the patriotic determination
of every good citizen to Use no for
cg l article which can be made within
ourselves. without regard to difference
of price, secures us against u relapse
into foreign dependence.
Jefferson was a stronger protection
i,t than Blaine. or Mckinley. or any
other Republican of the present day.
So was Andrew Jackson. If those
two men were alive to-day they would
be Republicans.

II is said that much delay is caused
in the settlement of pension claims by
hasty and careless examinations by
the various pension boards through
ought the country. Under the recent
pension law, pensions are granted al
most entirely on the examinations and
reports made 10 the Fansion Office by
these boards, and complaint is made
in the Pension Office that many of the
reports of the pension boards are not
fullr. carefully and specifically made,
and must be returned for correction,
and thus the settlement of claims of
soldiers is nccdicssly delayed.
