32 tons Of tomatoes from two acres of

the Mckinley tax on tin, the canner
could have paid him seven dollars per

at six dollars with the Mckinley tax in
force.

'How beautiful the night,

On Saturday night I stood on Milton

roundings; the moon was al its full and rid

water Of the river in silYery splendor No
cloud hung upon the horizon, and the zenith
was as far as when God spake the world
iuto existence. The cypress that sAirt Lake
Fanganzyki formed beautiful background,
and their tall forms silhOuelted in the calm
water presented a phantasmagoria lovely

The Demand for wheat.

The crop of wheat, if not greater than
the Agricultural report for October in
dicates. is sSS, 900, 900 bushels, which is
7s.ooo. 600 bushels in excess Of the larg-
est previous crop. But some authorities
are convinced that the yield is even lar
oer.and point out official reports OF var
ions States which make the yield in them
larger than the Department has estima-
ted. An excess of IS, 900, 900 bushels IS
thus found in only a few OF the States, SO
that The Financial Cht0Nfcle believes
fhe crop is really more than 6oo,ooo,o 600
bushels. Deducung 800, 100000 bushels
for food aud seed during the year, there
would still remain 24ooOo,ooo bushels
for export without using any part OF the
surplus brought over from previous years;
It thus becomes a question OF interest ana
importance to all what prospect there IS
of a correspondingly large demand Tom
Europe and other countries.
In the year I88o-'8I Europe was short
Of grain, and had been for several preceu-
ING years aud this country exported IN
wheat and -four the equivalent OF 1867
a., - bushels of wheat. The price dur
mo ne last five months Of the crop year
averaged 81. 20 at New York and Ia May
Il %, aud the British average for the
whole year was as shillings 4 pence, much
HIGHER than prices now ruling. Hence,
although il is undoubtedly true that the
consurnpti0n abroad is liable to be effected
Nv the price If wheat becomes unusually
dear Il NAV be argned that such prlces as
have vet been current this year will not
probablv reduce the demand. II Europe
purchased IS6. .ooo, 600 bushels ten years
ago, when the average export price uI
wheat from this country was SI.II Tor the
entire year, it will be reasoned tnat even
larger quantity may be taken TINS year,

I. Because Protection is in conformity
with the dictates of common sense and
patriotism.
2. Because Protection is founded upon
the hard teachings of experience, and
not upon any fancied eternal fitness OF
things.
3. Because Protection defends home
markets entirely our own and in the ag-
gregate at least five times as large as the
total foreign market, in which we are
forced to compete sharply with all other
nations.
a. Because the Mckinley act is already
justified by results-prices of manufac-
tured goods no higher, prices Of agricul-
tural products advanced and fairly remun-
erative as the result of the stimulus given
to manufactures, labor well employed,
and wages never before higher.
All the lies in regard to a rise in prices
consequent upon ''the Mckinley bill'
have fallen to the ground, and the Pro-
tective policy is to-day ready for a national
campaign. JOSEPH NIMAfo, JR.

corder Z. 7. Cooper at Dover, OH October
I2th rendered his decision. It is in favor OF
the will. The opposition to the probate OF
this will is made because two sons of the
testator are disiuherited by it, and the
property diverted after the death Of the
testator's wife and daughters TO the children
of the testators brothers. The .estate is

old tactics in obstructing the payment Of
poll taxes by Republicans that have been
employed by the Democratic party in

tricks that have damned that party should
be laid aside and politics throughout tue
State be conducted upon the basis Of
craftsmanship and honesty; but the foun-
tain will not rise higher than its source,
aud with tricksters at the head honesty
cannot be expected.
