made out payroll which he forwarded to the adjutant generals office. The>pay roll was returned disapproved. The members of the company then consulted the law firm of Hyde, Gross & Hyde, who have given the opinion that the men are entitled to pay. Captain Wickham has recently re- ceived the following opinion from the at torneys:
 'It is our opinion that it is proper that payrolls should be made out and presented in the manner required by law and that the men who did service that night were en- titled to proper compensation. No infor- nation being found in the military code we are obliged to rely upon a few sections of the general statutes. This service was not regular drill as it was in the month of June, when the drill season is over. Neither was it an inspection and muster But in our opinion it was special service | and comes under the provisions of section | 3, 190 of the general statutes" The company has held meeting during the week at camp, when the subject was referred to.
 Remarks were made on the action of the I adjutant general, everybody seeming to feel that in the light of the legal decision the company had taken the right course and should pursue it. This vote was passed:
 s'Inasmuch as our pay rolls for duty done at riot drill under general orders No. 6, A. G. O., have been returned to the captain | disapproved, resolved That the captain be l and he is hereby requested for and in be- half of this company to present our claims to the proper authorities"
 | This means undoubtedly that the mat
 ter will be pushed and that Hyde, Gross
 & Hyde will press the claim of the com pany.

Here is one of the latest: "The city
Of Ida has within its precincts Il
raven of public renown. The bird
belongs TO the father superior of the
local monastery. Despite his train
ing he is true to his thievish and
bloOdthirsty nature. and. much as he
is pettcd by the monks Of the convent,
he is dreaded by the deniZens of the

his training in the convent that he is

few hours the whole neighborhood
was struck with horror at the sacri-
lcgious act OF the army officer. The
father superior, with the wounded

him to the justice, invoking vengc-
ance on the multilator of the res

and produced the shoulder from

The Logic of Protection.

Wealth depends entirely on the
amount Of work performed by people OF
our own country. Wealth is accumu-
lated labor, just as coal beds are ac-
cumulated rays Of the sun The labor
performed by our own people in year
Is the income Of the nation, and what is
saved at the end of the year is our in
crease in wealth. If at any tine we call
in the services OF laborers in foreign
lands TO perform work which we could
as well perform on selves, we reduce
our income, and consequently our
wealth, by just the amount we pay those
foreign laborers for their goods. An
American railroad buys 1905 tons of
steel rails in England at SO ton; IL
our mills and workers are 10 that extent
unemployed, the loss to the country
would be exactly $1,000, 900. When
free-tradrrs argue that If the rails cost
$50 here and only so in England il is
gaining s, 1000, 900 to buy them in Eng
land. they mistake the IA lroad company

sherman In Ohio.

Senator Sherman Is one of those ora
tors who never open their mouths with
out saying something; accordingly,
when he spoke TO the people gathered to
celebrate "Republcan Day" at the Ohio
State Fair, he made the most concise
and at the same time the most complete
defense of protective policy and OF its
embodiment in the form of the Mckin-
ley bill that has yet been published.
1t is difficult, If not impossible, to
make any new argument for or against
protection. The poemics of tariff phil
osophy have become stale By hundreds
of written and thousands of oral discus
sions, but new evidence in favor of pro-
lection continually is being discoveries;
theories grow old, but day after day
places new facts before the considera-
ton of the people, and Senator sherman
arrayed some new facts with wonderful
skill. Specially was he strong in his
compilation OF evidence as to Ihe effect
of the Mckinley bill upon the price Of

4 Sound Plank.

Among the pleasing features of the
generally excellent platform construct
by the Republicans of Nebraska is its
unqualified adhesion TO "the America n
system of protection" and its enthusiasts
tic admiration OF "thc genius of that
heroic statesman, William Mckinley,
Jr, whom the people of Ohio will make
their next Governor, as a recognition of
his magnificent service to the coun-
try" sounds boldly in contrast to the
somewhat lukewarm approval OF pro-
tective legislation that n few years ago
appeared in a State platform framed un-
der the direction of politicians who since
have been retired from active service
Nebraska, in common with the whole
country, and especially in common with
the Northwest, is feeling the inyigorat-
ing breezcs of protection and reciprocity.
The ticket nominated is excellent, the
platform is strong, the party Is united,
and the indications are that Nebraska
will vie with Iowa and with Ohio in
rolling up Republican majority that
will be prelude To Republican victory
in the national election of 1892.

THEIR ALL AT STAKE.
Farmers Unable to Stack Their Grain or
Secure Thrashers.


If the immense wheat crop of North
Dakota is to b, saved, men and thrash
ing machines must be hustled in there
within the next few days. The ST. Paul
Jobbers' Union has aroused to the neces-
sity of helping out the farmers, and q
special committee which made thorough
tour oil the State, has made public the
following report:
Successive partial crop failures for the
past two or three years, coupled with
the absolute immensely OF their present
crop, find the farmers in that young
and newly settled district wholly unprc-
pared II perform the increased labor
thrown upon them Instead of the
regular increase in population by immi-
grafton, such as had occurred for many
previous years, there has no doubt teen
decrease, so that, although harvest
hands have been I'm active demand ut
high wages, few could be secured, for
the simple reason that they GRE not
there. Both the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern Railways have been
sending men up there for two months
past at nominal rates of fare, but the
demand is far from being satisfied.
This scarcity of men has prevented
the stacking of grain, as is done in all
blc Oluci ScCblOuS VI buC NOIlnWC u, uilu
to-day at least so per cent of the wheat
stands in shocks in the fields where IL

cd from damage by rain, and should
long period OF wet weather set in there
is no te ling what damage may &c done
or how much Of the magnificent crop
may be ultimately lost In order TO keep
all the thrashing machines in the neigh
borhood at work, the farmers are help
ing each other and thrashing from the
shock. 1t takes about twenty-five men
TO keep machine running in this way,
including the number hauling from the
scattered sho ks Thus, while one mans
grain is being thrashed that of all
his neighbors, who are helping him, lies
at the risk of damage and loss in their
fields
In many localities where crops have
been poor or have failed before, there
are no thrashing machines to be had,
and even this "help-your-neighbor" class
Of work is not being done Competent
authority says that 100 additional ma

remain for blowing before the ground
will freeze, when 1t cannot be done.

Benefited by the Tariff

few weeks ago the Detroit Tribune
called. attention to the remarkable in
crease in the exports of farm produce at
the port OF Detroit which has taken
place during the past few months, as
compared with the corresponding
months OF the previous year. This in
crease is not due 10 a diversion OF tran C.,
as may be known from the fact that the
records of the Port Huron custom house
show corresponding gratifying in
crease. The increase shown In July
was so very large that it seemed as if IL
could not possibly be duplicated; but it
has been. Here are the figures:
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1891-10-07


These figures are well worth stud ying.
The effect OF change in the tariff law
whereby horses entered for breeding
purposes must have an authenticated
pedigree has resulted in cutting down
the free imports from S57 4l5 to S31, 1919.
In other words, If street-car companies
are buying horses, they are purchasing
them from American farmers AMI not
from the Canadians. This is true, not
withstanding the fact that since the
Mckinley law went into effect the price
of horses has declined from fifteen to
twenty per cent. in Canada. The re-
moval Of the sugar duty has caused the
importation of Ss, coo worth of maple
sugar; but here again the farmers of
Michigan will not lose, for the bounty
on sugar will take care of their inter
ests. The provision that fish caught by
Americans in fresh-waters of Canada
shall be admitted free of duty has in
creased our importations OF that COM
modify from So, 535 worth in August,
1890, TO SAB. sl4 worth in August, 1891.
The operations of the Mckinley law
on the subject of eggs deserve special
notice. The new tariff imposes duty
Of cents a dozen on eggs According
to the Democratic theory this price
should be added to the price of eggs be-
fore the tariff went into effect. But
alas for the theory, the facts are the
other way. For the six months ending
June 80, 1890, the importations of eggs
at Detroit amounted to 1895 dozen,
valued at SIS, 400. For the correspond
ing six months of 1891 the importations
were but g, 36j dozen, valued at 1910,
and this includes the unusual importa-
tions at the time OF the Grand Army re-
union. Now as to the price. Last year
the foreign value of eggs imported was
from IL TO ID cents This year the
price is 10 cents Last year the market
price in Detroit was from 1715 to 1917
cents: this year IL is from 16 to Il cents.
In short, Michigan farmers have sup
piled the homo market and have lowered
the cost to the consumer, while the
Canadian farmers have been compelled
to pay the tariff on the eggs they have
sent over here. A more complete expo
sition of the workings of the protective
tariff could not be asked. We commend
it to tho study and mature consideration
OF our friends the enemy. We now live
