pensate for the difference in the
price of wages between this country
and Europe. This new tariff has
been in operation now seventeen
months. and although violently op-
posed by its enemies, it has W tn
stood the test and has vindicated
the most sanguin hopes and expec-
tations of its friends.
The calamity howlers have been
silenced and the wisdom of the
Mckinley bill is completely demon
strated. No article of general use
has increased in price, but every
thing is cheaper to-day than ever
before. The labor of our own peo-
pie has been furnished employment
and the money has been kept in the
country.
Now, another general election is
iminent.
The two great political parties are
again about to join issues in presi-
Dental contest.
The Republican party stands on
its record.
Unlike the Democrats, the Re-
publicans all believe in the same
principles, in the same doctrines
and beliefs. The same Republican
doctrines are current all over the
country wherever the Flag floats.
Republicans all believe in protec-
ton, in reciprocity, in honest money
and in honest elections. They want
no interference with the Mckinley
tariff, at least until it shall have
had time to develop its full measure
of usefulness. On these questions
the Republican party is unit, but
not so with the Democrats.
The Democratic party has to
make up its issue, and as it repre-
SCENTS all possible phases of public
sentiment on all possible questions,
it has a most difficult task to per-
form. The party being made up of
the mal-contents of all factions and
parties, it is impossible to build a
platform and to place thereon a
candidate that will be acceptable to
all.
No two prominent leaders stand
for the same thing. Cleveland, who
is the idol of the Democratic masses
is eclipsed by Hill, is known and
acknowledged to be the most dar-
ing and the most accomplished po-
litical william of the times.
A majority of the opponents of
Democratic belief favor a platform
and a candidate pledged to what
they are pleased to designate Tar
If Reform. which means Gle leland
and Free Trade. But the leaders
the platform builders, the managers
of the party, German. Hill, Crisp,
Vest, &c. mean to put up can
didate that will represent nothing
in particular, platform of the reg
ular elastic tpye, that can be inter-
prctcd to suit the different degrees
Of latitude.
The people will have the oppor-
tunity of choosing between a Re-
publican candidate standing on
Republican platform, which says
what it means and means what it
says, and Democratic candidate,
selected on account of his availa-
bility as straddlcr, on a platform
plcdging all things to all men-m-
III after the election.
ostensibly the business Of this
Democratic Congress is to enact
laws for the government of the
country. but the real business is to
make an issue for the coming
election.

Memoir.


esteemed and respected citizen, died
at his home near Altamont, Feb.
10, 1892. He was born September
IL, 1928. On October 20, 1858, he
was married to Miss Mary Speicher,
with whom he lived happily, sharing
the joys and sorrows of life. To
them, in this happy union, were
born two daughters and four sons,
all of whom survive him.
At the age of 20 the deceased was
happily led to Christ and received
to membership in the Methodist
Episcopal church. under the pastoral
labors of Rev. Abraham Rich. Soon
after his conversion he began to
hold PRAYER meeting services from
house to house. there being no
churches nor school-houses at that
period in many of the rural places.
Through his Jealous influence in
this capacity others of them
old men-were led to Christ. For
nearly half century he served God,
living above just censure. During
this time he passed through periods
which tried mems souls to retain
LOYALTY to God and the church of
his choice. lie found refuge in
God and in the church a home. He
filled various official capacities in
the church, opened his heart and
home to its ministry and had the
confidence of his brethren.
In his christian walk and inter
course he was humble: in his testi-
mony clear and hopeful. He be-
lieved in conscious salvation, pro-
fessed and enjoyed it with 10y
unspeakable nd full of glory. "
He lived for heaven and in assur-
ance of a better life. His record is
on high: his life is extinct. bat his

The deceased was drawn into con-
sumption by cold contracted many
years ago, but his departure was
fastened by an attack of la grippe,
with which he fingered for few
weary weeks terminating his life.
The call found him ready to depart
and be with Christ. Fully con-
scious of has approaching end. he

THE NATIONAL CAMPAIGN.
Advantages Possessed by the Republican
Party.

Party.
IL is conceded by careful observers
that the conditions of the present ma
tional canvass are favorable to republic
an success. The strength of President
Harrison with the people is becoming
every day more apparent. The wis
dom of his denomination is coming to
be recognized even by those who for
the time preferred another candidate.
1t is felt that he represents more truly
than any other man in public life the
magnificent record and policy which
the party has maintained during the
last three years and half. As con-
trasted with Mr. Cleveland, no fair
minded man denies that in point of
ability, of breadth of craftsmanship, of
conscientiousness Of purpose, President
Harris, n is the better entitled to popu-
lar confidence.
II is not alone, however, in the great
personal strength of the candidate that
the party occupies an obvious advan-
tage IL is strong also in the coherency
and unanimity which everywhere char
acterizes it and its purposes. The OPP
position have pretended TO believe that
there were elements of discord in some
of the states which would make repub-
hean harmony impossible. II such dis
sensions ever existed, they have finally
and wholly disappeared. Everywhere
along the line there is absolute imam
unity, resolute steadfastness of pur-
pose, aud the confidence which grows
ont of true perception of the advan-
tnges which the party possesses in its
principles, its record and its candi-
dates.
Another and obvious source of
strength is found in the efficiency aud
fidelity Of the national republican
committee. IT is not too much to say
that no republican campaign in the
history Of the party has ever been com
mitied to more capable, sagacious or
uuselash men than those now in ex-
ecutive control. The chairman of the
committee. a man of far seeing saga
city. resourceful in eypedicnts. cool
headed. aud steady q nerve. has the
cooperation o. gentlemen who are in
every sense especially qualified to con

style at the Capital.
The count of Paris and his suite,
about six people altogether, were worth
s275 day to Landlord Roessle, of the
Arlington hotel, Washington; President
Diaz 500, and the emperor of Brazil

royal party to the tune of $3.50 per diem

Arlington's choicest apartments. An

MARKETING OF EGGS.
Rules Which should lie Adopted by All
Progressive shippers.

Progressive shippers.
The change from packing and ship
ping eggs in barrels and old boxes to
that of the almost universally adopted
thirty-dozen cases is a great improve
ment. Too many shippers are quite
careless in the employment of help,
which in most cases are boys who may
mean well enough, but lack the expert
ence in packing, often neglecting to
put the required chaff or cut straw on
the bottom of the case, or pack the
eggs in broken, torn or imperfect fill
ers, which causes breakage in transit.
Or they fasten the lid down without
first placing the long clean straw or
other packing on top of the eggs, SO
that the entire top layers will not
break should the case be turned down
or given a severe jolt. Every shipper
should keep a supply of new filters on
hand to replace any that may become
torn or impure from broken eggs.
Strictly fresh eggs, properly packed
in good cases, would never have loss
off, :" except when they are shipped in
very warm weather from distance, or
are roughly handled during the trans
portation. Every shipper should know
by careful study of his trade the
quality of the stock he buys, and should
reject all imperfect eggs just as they
are rejected by the city trade and Gus
toner. The sooner all shippers adopt
this rule the sooner they viii bring up
the trade to that perfection its i'm
portance demands. - Produce Trade

The DEMOCRATIC FIGHT.
Col. Watterson's Charge Against Demo
cratic Trimmers.

toi. NattefSons thafSt HSdin>t Demo-
cratic Trimmers.
Not few shrewd democrats are en-
5eavoring to produce the impression
these days that the tariff plank of their
national platform does not meal any
thing in particular. They assert that
the plank. appearances to the contrary
Notwithstanding. rs not loaded: that in
spite of it, were the democracy TO sue
ceed in electing Cleveland, no serious
effort would be made to change the ex-
isting tariff policy in any radical way
Of course, it is easy to understand what
prompts such utterances on the part of
very wide-awake and rather unserupu-
lous democrats anxious to have their
party succeed in November They
realize that unless the conviction can
be generally produced that the democ-
racy made no emphatic and significant
del.vo. ance at Chicago in the direction
of free trade, or. having made it, does
not purpose to stand by it, the iig is up.
and Cleveland, us in 1883, is beaten.
Now Col Henry Watterson, who
played foremost part in shaping the
tariff plank of the Chicago convention,
is aware of the existence of these mem
bers of his party. And, naturally, they
get no comfort from him, since the
colonel, as everybody knows, has the
courage of his free trade convictions
In recent number of the Louisville
Courier journal he has something to
say touching the tariff plank in ques-
ton which is well calculated TO give
the democratic tariff trimmers dumb
ague. ut is certainly true" he says,
that five million of democrats stand

Intelligence of the Horse.

Too much stress cannot be laid upon
the duty to make the horse understand
what is wanted of him. Few horses
fail to respond to the drivers require
ments if the animal knows just what
is wanted and is handled properly. We
saw that illustrated few days since.
A gentleman mounted an excellent
saddle horse. lie was unaccustomed
to riding and jerked up the reins too
tightly. A tender mouth added to the
subsequent denouement. The animal
became confused, reared and then
backed into the hind wheels of buggy,
breaking one of them, and in some way
finally falling. After the animal was
got upon it's feet and the rider had
been extricated from horse and buggy
wheels, another man mounted and by
different management made the ami
NAL understand what was wanted and
did not jerk her mouth. In one case
she was confused. in the other she was
not confused. Farmers Voice.

The plank, as reported to the conven-

sop 10 protection. But the convention
rejected it by a vote of 564 TO 342, and
adopted the substitute submitted by
the extreme free trade democrats

ence to Mr.. Cleveland Nor does the
doughty colonel rest content with in
sisting upon the tariff plank as it is in
all its free trade significance. He goes
for the base democrats who favored the
less offensive original plank. He says:

This is terrible charge-at all

brought against Mr.. Whitney. Can it
be that Mr.. Whitney is simply repub-

Whitney.
