LETTER FROM UNCLE JOSH.
FIDDLER's CREEK, March -.
No. 10.
Editor Free Press:

Editor Free Press:
While Mr.. Lawrence was saying that
he would give me an outline of the
Political system Of the Federation, the
opera house across the lake was sud-
denly flooded with blaze of electric
light from the beautiful grounds sur
rounding it, to it's turret of FURNISHED
gold. / uttered an exclamation of
surprise and delight at the wonderful
transformation, noticing which, Mr..
Lawrence remarked that the interior
was still more beautiful, and added
that ''King Lear" was to be played
that evening:
Upon my expressing surprise at this,
and saying that was at loss to un-
derstand how such plays could be sup
ported in the country, as the expense
Of securing artists capable of render
ing such plays must be something
enormous. "We can get no actors or
actresses from any part of the great
cities that can excel our own home
talent" Mr.. Lawrence said this in
all seriousness and went on to explain:
''In our dramatic Schools" said he,
(which are simply one branch of our
college system, our own young men
and maidens acquire a wonderful pro-
ficiency in the art of delineation, and
they give these plays out of pure love
for the art. / hardly know how our
people could get along now without
these play-houses.
On the stage we have pictorial il
lustratiOn of the world. Here we
get glimpses of the lives and &C
tions of other nations, and thereby
learn to improve our own. The opera
house you see across the lake is but an
adjunct to our college and it affords
a delightful recreation to the tired
student. and to those in middle life
and the aged as WE'LL" "And do you
owe all the blessings that are shower

II am quite surprised at this" ]
remarked, ''since the Republican
party is the party of protection-ot
high tariff in fact-and it follows that
all you have to buy in the way of tools
and farming implements, ETC., bear a
price higher than would be the case
should free trade prevail" For the

He looked as though he was saying to
himself: what kind of a back number

Deafness Can be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is ,only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets iniamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition.
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an infam-
ed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that we cannot cure by TAX
ing Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

SOMETHING FOR LABORING MEN.

The London Board of Trade is of
course good authority for free traders
of all occupations and will not be
questioned when English statistics
show that the labor cost of making a
ton of steel rails in America was nine
dollars ton more than in England
almost the entire amount of Nc
kinney tariff duty per ton, as was re-
ported by the London Iron and Steel
Journal only last fall, the laboring
men will see where their protection
g comes in. Take off the protection and
the American manufacturer must
reduce their wages or he cannot COM
pete with his English rivals in the
home market. If compelled to close
mis- mills, the laborers are thrown out
of employment and where are they to
secure means to purchase the raw pro-
ducts from the farmer? If we had
known nothing of English trickery
we might be induced to think the re-
sdnctiOn Of the duty, as in 1852, would
cheaper the cost of construction by
That amount per ton discount on the
cost Of building our railroads. But
then railroad iron was selling at $50
10 S65 per ton. British manufacture
erS. offered to furnish iron delivered in
New York at $50 per ton. Railroad
Companies and the public, hungry for
railroads, clamOred for lower tariff,
and Congress yielded to the demand
and reduced the duty Sl2 per ton.
American labor could not stand the
reduction, and without the reduction
The manufacturers could not stand
The British competition, and the price
sofiron gradually went up, till four
months after the price of railroad
iron caused our British friends said
10y the enormous demand for iron, to
the old prices, while the manufacture
eers OF iron in the United States prac-
ideally suspended, and hundreds of as
good men as ever belonged to the or
der in this or any other city, were
thrown out of employment and COM
peeled to earn food for their families
ats to 80 cents per day grading road
beds. The next Republican Congress
restored the tariff and American mills
were set rolling, and though some
what ratified by the tidal wave of
Democratic free trade financiering,
they regained their footing in 1860,
and were set rolling once more, and
will be kept rolling as long as the on
Iy party that has ever done anything
for the labor interests of the country
retains the control of the government
Of the nation, and under whose pro-
lection policy we now get the best
quality steel rails in Chicago for S35
per ton, or little more than half the
price of iron in 1853, and laboring men
are getting better wages now than
then.
British tin makers tried to play
yheir old trick and had their trust al
