Tariff Humbug.

A great deal has been said about the
tariff raising the prices of articles to farmers.
The largest merchant in North Dakota has
carefully gone over his books August 20,
1890, and August 26, Of this year, after the
tariff had been in operation about year,
and says that he found he had bought his
stock Of fannels, underwear and yelvets s
per cent cheaper than last year: cloaks and
ready made clothing and other dry goods
10 per cent cheaper; sugar 40 per cent
cheaper; canned fruits so per cent cheaper,
with fair average of 10 per cent reduction
in the run of The grocery trade. Shoes for
the fall and winter trade had been bought 2
per cent cheaper tin ware 5 per cent
cheaper; crockery, millinery and shelf
hardware cost the same. These reductions
in the purchase price have enabled US to
make the retail price throughout The store
more than ten per cent lower than last year
or ever before in North Dakota. He gives
a list which we copy with the prices of tin

UNCLE LrPH.s pH1LosopHY.
A Queer Old Nan Who Was Neve
Worried About Anything.

A Queer Old Man Who Was Never
Worried About Anything.
Eliphalet Duncan, or Uncle Lipii, as
he was Familiarity called by his relatives
and friends, possessed what he termed q
philosophical mind, /" which stood him
in good stead on many occasions, says
Youths Companion.
What's the sense o. worritin' over
sthings that " happened?n he used to
ay. Jest view 'em over careful an
youth allus find they've got a side you
kin dwell on an take some comfort
put'n it. 7"
He had his share of discomforts and
trials, but he was well to do man,
and some Of his less fortunate neighbors
said that if they were as forehanded as
Uncle Liph. 'twould come easier to bear
up under things.
He had lived in one house ever since
his marriage, when a very young man,
but when he was about 60 years old the
old house was getting SO dilapidated that
he had new one built on lot of land
which commanded better view of the
hills. He also built new barn, which
was well stored with hay and grain.
Much new furniture was bought, and
Uncle Liph and his wife, with their one
unmarried daughter, were to move over
to the new place" in October.
The last of September the Duncan
family, together with many friends.
went to the county fair, which was held
eight or nine miles away.
Late in the afternoon boy arrived at
the fair and announced to Uncle Liph
with Mortified gasps that his new barn
had caught fire, nobody knew how, and
the only neighbor who had stayed al
home had been making fruitless attempts
to put out the flames.
When the Duncan family arrived al
the site of what was to have been their
new home in week or two the barn had
been entirely destroyed and the house
was rapidly burning.
The next morning farmer driving
slowly past the scene of the confagration
espied Uncle Liph seated on the stone
wall, in a Eliminating attitude. He
turned around as he heard the sound of
wheels, and said slowly, "Pm viewin' my
ruins, ye seel"
We'll, said his friend, with some
energy, 4Pm bound to say, Uncle Liph,
eft was in your shoes, sh'd find it con.
sidduble of stump to philosophize over
this mess.
"Ye-es, drawled the afflicted Elipha-
let, tits more difficult n usu'l, but, he
added, Frightening little, its all fer

The aboye statement doesn't prove any
thing for or against the tariff. The heavy
importation of lin before the tariff took
effect accounts for the lower price of tin
ware The market is glutted. The tin
ware manufacturing hasn't got into opera
ton yet 10 any appreciate extent, and could
not influence prices one way or the other.
The tariff is not intended to make manufac-
tured goods lower in price or no manufac-
turer would be in favor of tariff. The
real influencing cause in this drop in prices,
which is general-on canned goods for in
stance which is entirely home product
is the steady shrinkage in volume Of cur
rency in proportion to the increase of pop
ulation and expansion of business. 1t is
scarcity OF money that lowers prices when
the drop is general, affecting almost every
article in common use. Bear in mind that
the farmer has only his labor and produce
for sale and they share in the general
shrinkage in their power to purchase money.
The price of all staple goods is lower than
they were year ago, except grain and il
would share the general shrinkage if il
were not for the famine in Europe.
All laborers and producers are injured by
this condition of affairs while all salaried
officers, money loaners and owners of debts
are benefited by il. 1t is skinning the
lahoring class and fattening the non-labor.
ing class. Some people belong to both
classes. They have money at interest and
are also laborers as producers. They are
apt 10 forget or overlook their loss as pro-
ducers, while Watching their interest from
loans. This class is easily won over 10 the
plutocralic or money class and blindly take
the side opposed TO their true INTEREST. We
hope the farmer who fortunately has few
hundred dollars out on interest will ration
ally consider this question. 1t is only
question Of time when the exploiting and
large monopoly capital class, under present
conditions if unchanged, will eat him up
along with his brother toilers.
When the politician of either party
whether newspaper or orator talks about
tariff protection and tariff reform being
remedy for existing hard times, he is either
deceiving the public wilfully or he doesn't
know what he is talking about. We except
none, but include the whole brood from
Mckinley and Mills down to the smallest
specimen of hot house politician.

The Grotto OF Csrvantss.

Within few years the Spanish gov.
ernment has placed commemorative
tablet at the entrance of thegrotto where
Cervantes, the author of @Don Quixoten
and his companions in slavery hid them.
selves. 1t is on the side of the hill OF
HANNA, about three miles south of Al
giers, in a picturesque situation and sur.
rounded by an impenetrable thicket.
Cervantes was taken prisoner in 1875
by Barbary corsairs, and fell into the
hands of the renegade Albanian, Deli
Mani. Cervantes and his companions
escaped from deli Mani, but could not
escape from the country. A brother of
Cervantes was ransomed in 1577, and
promised the captives to send a frigate
from Valencia or the Balearic Isles.
which should touch at a point of the
shore agreed upon, and rescue them by
force or strategy.
The place where they took refuge was
near the seashore. A gardener named
Juan, under the direction of Cervantes,
secretly cut out cave, in which the is
Christian prisoners hid themselves. Juan
watched the neighborhood and allowed
no one to approach the cavern, and an.
other slave brought food to the captives,
who dared leave their hiding place only
at night.
After eight days, during which Ger
vantes watched the sea, he saw the frigate
which had come to rescue them. That
evening the frigate approached the land,
but fishermen gave the alarm, and SO
many people assembled that the captain
was obliged to go to sea again. He made
second attempt little later, but unfor.
tunately was captured.
The day after the frigate was taken the
captives were betrayed. Ceryantes was
sent to the convict prison, and a little
later, just as he was about to be sent to
Constantinople, where the possibility OF
rescue would be lost forever, he was ran.

It is beginning to be generally understood
that the authorities in power in the United
Staies are completely under the control Of
London Jew bankers. and it will not be
long till this is proclaimed from the house
tops. Nearly all the city daily papers,
especially in the Atlantic States are owned
and controlled by the same gold money
crowd. Hence the worse than senseless
5argon which fills their editorial columns
on finance. The public are beginning 10
discern de true status Of these deceiyers
and the deep laid plot that has been so long
hidden from them.

Advice to the Farmers.

A drummer for a Wholesale whis-
key house said: s.If farmers would
stick to their work and let politics
alone they would be all right. A
good crop or two would put them in
better humor." These are the kind
of beings who assume to take charge
of the farmers and politics. In their
opinion the saloon is the only place
politics should be managed.

Is shown chronologically all stamps Of
which specimens exist from 1910 to 1891,
Among the postal curiosities shown are
balloon letters, pigeon post and sub.
marine post letters, as they were sent
during the siege Of Paris in 1870. A col.
lection offorged stamps is also interesting.
Curious objects are letters of the An.

Of wood covered with hieroglyphics, and
post cards which have made the tour of
the world. For one of these with a

in taking his assent, where no dissent was
given or implied, as sufficient consent.
Joseph H. Brooks, of Chesapeake City, is
the man whose name completes the ticket so
that John P. Wilson, of the oh, John F
