SICK OF FREE TRADE.


LONDON, May 20.-Lord Salisbury, in
tho speech whica he delivered at Hastings,
snid that grave matter, in which
the prosperity of tho country was
involved. was the question OF tree
trnde. "Englnnd' hc declared, 'oniy
maintains tho position which she occupies
by tho vast industries existing here hut
danger is growing up. FIFTY years years
ago everybody believed that free trade con-
oucred the world, and prophesed that
every nation would follow the example of
England. The results, however, arc not
what had been expected. Despite tue
prophecies OF the free trade advocates
foreign netions are adopting protection.
They are excluding US from their markets
and are trying TO kill our trade. And this
state of things appears TO grow worse.
While nations are negotiating to obtain
each others commercial favor, mono IS
anxious about the favor Of Great Britain,
because Great Britain has stripped herself
of the armour and weapons with which the
battle is to be fought
"The attitude we have taken in regard
ing it disloyal 10 the glorious and sacred
doctrines of free trade to levy duties Oh
any body far the sake of anything we get
theraby may he noble. but is not business
like. Cheers. On these terms you will
and do get nothing tycu intend to hold
your own in this conflict Of tariffs you must
be prepared to refuse nations who injure
you access to your markets. We complain
most Of the United States and it so hap
pens that the United States mainly fur
nshes us with articles which are essential
to the good of the people, and with raw
material which is essential to our manufact-
urers. We cannot exclude either without
serious injury to ourselves | am not
prepared, in order to punish other couu-
tries, to innlict dangerous wounds on our
solves. We must contne ourselves to those
matters whereon we will not suffer much
whether importation continues or dmin-
ishes. While we cannot raise the price OF
food and raw material, there is al enor-
nous mass OF imports, such as wine, spirits,
silks, gloves and laces, from countries beside
the United States, which are merely lux
uries. md of which diminished consunlp-
ton could be risEed in order to secure ac'
| cess to the markets of our neighbors. l
shall expect to be accommodated for pro-
pounding such a doctrine, but | am bound
ia say that | think the free traders have
| gone too far. "

at is the unexpected that always
happens" can be applied largely to
the weather of the last two days.
Tuesday was SO warm and mild that
June day could not have been pleas
enter. Drags and seeders were drawn
into the fields and fixed up for work.
In several places in the neighborhood
seeding had actually begun. Fred
Homer at North Redwood, despite
the excitement there about the town
election, seeded during the day good
number of acres. In Renville county
several farmers did little of the same
work, while many of them had been
dragging all day Monday and Tues
day. In the vicinity of Delhi and
Wood Lake also dragging had beeh
going on for these two days quite
briskly, while at the latter place, on
Tuesday, seeding had begun. That
was "the UNEXPECTEDLY on the 9Th day
of March. Before hight fell sudden
changs set in Unexpectedly again. The
sky in the west toward late afternoon
darkeped, and at nine o'clock rain be-
gan and it rained heavily till 3 o'clock
in the morning, when the wind rose to
a half hurricane, and the temperature
fell to zero. The two chief hotels
shook in such way that several of the
guests in both houses got up and
dressed about o'clock and watched
the drifting snow through the win
dows. A number of sign boards and
chimney stacks were blown down, and
from some of the older houses boards
were torn and blown across the street.
Two stores on Mill street had their
front works torn away, and the school
room on that street had the porch
broken downand the windows smashed
in The windmill at the N. w. depot was
carried away, and various pieces of
damages done to the houses there. So
strong was the wind at 10 a. In. that
Mr.. Stout was afraid to send the bus
to the depot and the eight or ten tray
cling men who came by that train had
a hard pull in walking to the hotels.
Nor did the bus go to the NJ. & St. L.
train, at which number of travellers
were disappointed, but Mr.. Stout fin
ally secured light wagon and drove
hem to North Redwood.

High Tariff on Chickens.

One branch of chicken raising in
this vicinity received quite setback
last Monday, when Jas. WEIGH plead
ed guilty to having raised number
in manner not in accordance with
the decalogue, and was fined SIS by
Judge Baldwin. Before pleading
guilty, the accused claimed that the
chickens were brought to his place by
.-ther parties, and it is believed that
he is only one out of several engaged
in the same industry. They should

for a change,
