WHAT THEY NEEDED.

the committee were found embraced
in the majority of letters received,
and they suggested that the farmers
of the United States petition Con-
gress as follows:
To tile Speaker of the House Of
RebveSeNtaHves: The undersigned
respectfully pray that agriculture
may be more ehectually protected
by preventing fraudulent importa-
tons OF cattle on pretence that they
are for breeding only.
By duty of twenty cents per
bushel on barley with proportionate
increase of duty on malt.
By duties OF twenty five cents per
bushel on potatoes and onions, 81
per hundred on cabbages, S. per
ton on hay, ten cents pound on
hops, twenty per cent. on beans and
peas, five cents per dozen on eggs,
thirty per cent. on fowls and poultry
and on vegetables in their natural
state or in salt or in brine, not other
wise provided for" with no removal
or reduction of duty on market
garden products now dutiable.
By such increased duty on fax
and on linen goods as will efectu-
ally encourage the preparation OF
fibre and manufacture of goods.
BY abolishing all duties on sugar,
with bounty to home producers.
By preventing imports of leaf
tobacco suitable for wrapping at the
duty imposed on other Leaf tobacco
ard repeating all internal taxes on
tobacco.
By restoring to wool-growing the
substantial Protection enjoyed under
the tariff of 1867, so modified as to
meet the later forms of foreign COM
petion and OF evasion.
\ great number of these petitions
were signed by farmers in every part
of the United States, especially in
the States bordering on Canada,
and were forwarded to Congress,
1t is impossible to say how many
farmers signed them, for the Dem
ocratic House and its officers took
care to naX y-,;;.tle attention to
them, and the 1esuIt was 49, 80 :,

in the complexion of Congress and
elected Republican House for the
Fitty-f first Congress. This was the
one which passed the Mckinley
/ bill.
That measure provided against
fraudulent importations of cattle
(Par agraph 4S2). 1t imposed a
duty of thirty cents a bushel on
barley Paragraph 252), As cents

peas (2SD, 5 cents per dozen on
eggs (275), 3 cents per pound on
poultry (3I5), IS per cent. on vege-
tables in their natural state (.8S)
and As per cent. on vegetables pre-

posed duty of s22.4o per ton on
flax instead of $40 (357) and so per
cent. instead of IS per cent. on linen
goods (27I). 1t made raw sugar
free (726), with bounty to domes-
tic producers (23I-230. 1t shut
out tobacco leaf for wrappers by a
duty of 81 per pound (a43), and it
raised the duties on wool (3S1-3S0

1867. Thus in every particular the

HELPING THE FARMERS.

Few people understand how much
Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, the Republican
candidate for Vice President, had to
do with the framing OF our present
tariff law, especially that portion
which so much benefits the farmers.
Early in 1887 Mr.. Reid, as editor OF
the Tribune caused a series of state
ments to be made and published
showing the disastrous effect OF a
lack of proper protection to the
agricultural interests. In the sum-
mer of 1887 he suggested, through
the Tribune, that the farmers in all
parts of the country, by their assocla-
tons and individual letters, should
state their wishes regarding the tariff
and the changes deemed necessary
to their interests in view of the then
low prices OF farm products. About
five hundred replies, representing
several hundred thousand particular
farmers-many of the letters were
from organizations-set forth with
much particularly and detail the
workings of the old tariff OF 1883 as
respects the farmers and the changes
they desired. Mr.. Reid saw the
Importance of putting into definite
form this altogether unprecedented
manifestation of the wishes OF farm
ers which he had himself elected.
He therefore caused some of the
most distinguished and influential
Representatives Of agriculture to be
invited by the Tribune to examine
and report on these letters. They
prepared a general report in the
form OF an address "to the farmers
of the United States" which was
printed in the Tribune of February
8. 1888.

Irregular Practices Disclosed by an In
vestigation.
The FRaum pension office investiga-
ton daily exposes new depths in the in
famieS practiced in that department OF
the government. 1t was long since
shown that the United States pension
commissioner used the power of his
position to float the stock of n refriger-
ator company, and also of a gypsum
quarry company, and it was shown that
he had been freely accorded loans by a
leading practicing pension lawyer. The
investigation proceedings make this last
exposure more vivid from evidence that
nine out of every ten pension claims al
bowed in the department are cases
handled by this accommodating friend
of the head of the department.

that the testimony reveals the unholy

and IN the winter they are along the

FROM the two stations the completed
circle OF two hundred men made a most
impressive sight 1t was particularly
interesting TO the Indians, who had seen
the cavalry corral them in Just this
manner in the old, less peaceful times.
Occasionally one could see the entire
ring, nearly every man being exposed
TO view. But as they crept forward the
inequalities Of the ground hid many Of
them, and We could only 60 forward
with the belief that all other men were
likewise doing their DUTY.

irregular hill with heavy growth OF

we advanced the catch had been very
large one, for wolves and coyotes were
thick upon the hill and were running
excitedly in every direction. Little by
little the line narrowed till the men
were twenty yards apart. Suddenly to-
ward the portion where was riding

AS they drew within fifty yards
noticed one big gray wolf was leaping
high and bowling at every jump. He
was a veteran, and was angry He
would not turn to the right nor LETT, but
came straight toward the Indian on my
right. The hunters had swerved little
toward us from either hand to repel
the advance, and could not have been
over dozen yards apart when the wolf
struck the line. Behind him was q
circliag, screaming army of coyotes,

everywhere to escape We knew if he
got through that stream of animals

stop it. The Indian on foot ahead Of
the line ran to intercept the big wolf,

summon. His long cudgel met the wolf
fairly on the head, and the animal came
down in heap. Before one of us could
dismount-y the Navajo had laid on his
bludgeon with telling effect The huge
animal raised up on his launches, snap
ping and barking, starting forward at
each blow and keeping the Indian in

ton the rest of the wolves had all but
broken through the line. The soldier
who walked forward was neither so
brave nor so agile as the Navajo, and
could not come near that bristling, ter
rible head. But the Indian, by feint,
finally got in good blow and knocked
the huge fellow over on his side. we
then found that an earlier blow had
broken the VOLTS back, and he had been
making the fight without the use of his
hind legs. He was monster, and his
brush-the first of the day-yery prop
erly swung from the girdle of the In.
dian that killed him.
By noon the men were within ten feet
of each other, and the little circle was
like net filled full of tossing, snarling,
fighting, frightened wolves. They were
running constantly, and whenever one
came near enough the line he was
struck with club. If he fell some man
sprang forward and dispatched him.
We had dismounted, and detail of soA
diers was holding the horses. Some.
times wolf would advance straight to-
ward the fine, and insist ON attacking
some one man. Had they been less
frightened the fight would have been
very unequal, but in their terrified con-
dition they fell an easy prey and were
killed. The line pressed closer, leaving
the dead and tailless victims behind, till
the top Of the hill was reached.
On the ivy summit, hiding behind n
bushy cedar, was the bear Thompson
had turned back in the morning. He
would not advance, and as he was too
strong to be safely attacked with clubs
we were debating whether we should
not suspend the rules and shoot him.
He was turning slowly and clumsily
about, presenting his front as much ms
possible, and all of sudden, as hia
back turned toward us, the Navajo who
had killed the wolf in the morning
leaped forward with the swiftness and
silence of light and struck his knife In
the bears side just back of the shoul-
der.
Bruin gave great roar and rolled on
his back. He lay there, fighting with
feet and teeth, till the Navajo, creeping
close, struck him again and again cS
capped unframed. 1t was the last Of tho
game. We had killed one hundred ana

and n bear. At four o'clock the huns
was over and the officers and men re-
turned to the fort There has not been
