The fact hist the drygoods firm Of Marshall
Field a Co. Of Chicago. recently paid tJ,ooo
iarih on $1,000 worth Of pearl buttons which
Ihsy imported from Europe, or over 400 per
cent, has Afforded plenty Of anti Mckinley
bill ammunition 10 such speakers as Governor
Campbell, Gen John Black. Of Illinois ;
Congressman Springer and others. Mr. Fi.ld
Is strong democrat, but Two Of his leading
partners, II N Hlggialo,ham and Lafayette
McWillisms, are enthusiastic republicans.
The republican partners were much displeaseJ
because rhe pearl button item had leaked out
and X L Barahar, tie firms cusiom-house
broker, was strongly reprimAnded for bis
cafelessness.
AS the democratic speakers and papers con-
tinus to make the most OF the lesson Of the
ubiquitous pearl buiton tariff ane Campbell
rubbed it into Mckinley during the Ada Join,
debate, the displsasure OF Higginbotham and
McWilliams grew, and when Mr. Field return
ed f'om his summer trip to Europe they laid
the matter before him. Mr. Field at once
summoned Barnhari, who appeared with feaI
and trembling. lie explained that rhe pear
button facts had got out bv mistake, and said
itwooldnt occur again.
"Why shouldn't it occur sgainP deman ded
Mr. Field. "Why shouldn't the people b.
made acquainted with the truth? They oueh
10 know the injustice that the Mckinley bi
causes. and am glad tnat This fact about tn
pearl buttons has g.. int print. and the NOR,
there is published about'it the better. Yo,
did perfectly right about it, Mc B.rnhart
Let the people know that the tariff is tax.

GROVER CLEVELAND.

There Is no longer any question but
what Grover Cleveland is by all odds the
choice OF the rank and fle OF the hmeri-
can democracy. and enjoys the confidence
and respect Of the American people 10 q
larger extent than any other living man.
Tne mention OF his name In any public
assembly, In any place In the United
States is the signal for deaiening cheers and
his appearance on the platform anywhere
causes unbounded applause.
AT the great demonstration In Portland
where there was no effort TO create enthu-
sIakm for Cleveland, but a desire 10 direct
II otherwise, on the bare mention OF his
name the cheering made all other csndl
dates seem insignificant. At the great
ratification meeting In New York when he
arose 10 introduce the speakers the cheer
Ing for Cleveland and the next president
was so great that Il was was several
Rinutes before he could perform the ser
vice, and when he appeared for the pur-
pose of opening the state campaign be-
fore the Kings county democracy, the en-
thusiasm was so great that the people
could not be restrained for several minutes.
1t Is the same everywhere, east. west,
NORTH or south, whenever The people as
Semble his name ID received with un-
bounded enthusiasm. The machine pol
iticians may scheme, plot and figure, but
the people still remain loyal to Cleveland.
His influence with the masses has passed
beyond their control. The people have
tried Cleveland and found In him "a friend
that sticke;h closer than brother" one
who will stand firmly against every scheme
Of Plunder, injustice and oppression, and
no power Of money or influence or cor
porations can buy, persuade or drive him.
He believes in the equality Of all men and
the interests of the present are as sa-
cred 10 him as that Of the millionaire. He
talks to the cattle kings when they under
take to evade the law; to the railroad cor
porations when they undertake to steal
the peoples land, just as he does to the
common laborer. lie thinks that the hum
bic homes Of the poor should feel some of
III: bene acient influence of the govern
ment and their wrongs strike a responsive
chord In his great heart. Nothing but
tieachery among politicians and the gold
of CO: porations and fayored interests or
the act of God can prevent him from being
the next president.
II is, however, said by some that he 10
not in harmony with the people of the Pa
cifc coast on the silver question. But how
infinitely small is the silver question to the
great questions of honest COVE rnment
justice and equality, and the personal and
commercial liberty of the people.
The vast wealth of the people OF the
United States, heaped up by a century of
toll and privation,is passing into the Golfers
of taxation, at the rate of nearly a million
ard half day; and into the pockets of
the favored classes In much larger sum.
The people are being moved by the cam
paign of education and therefore turn to
Cleveland on account of his known op?o-
sition to all forms of plunder and class leg

The contest for the republican nomination

CLOSE MOVING.

There is nothing gained by cutting
upland grass too close. Some farmers
NOW their meadows as close as possible,
and make the turf look as if it had been
shaved with a razor. Of all grasses
timothy probably suffers the most from
too close moving. It should not be cut
below the first joint, and better still
above the second. When cut through
the bulb, or too near it, the plant is
often killed. The meadow will start
much quicker if the grass is cut about
two or three inches high than when be-
low that height, and the pasturage which
will be gained will much more than bal
ance for the extra amount of hay of
doubtful quality that is obtained by close
moving. Finer grass can be cut lower
than coarse ones, and lowland meadows
suffer but very little from being cut
close, and possibly benefited, as the sun
can thereby reach the ground and dry out
the excess of moisture. Our object in
this note is to speak against the close
cutting of upland meadows, especially
timothy, when thereby the roots are un-
duly exposed and often killed-American
