NUTS for Free Traders to Crack.

If protection makes m%illionaries,
why have nine in ten of the large
fortunes in America been amassed
in the so-called non-protected indus
tries?
IL protection does not maintain
American wages, why are they al
most twice as high as in any other
country under the sun?
If protection is an absurdity,
how does it happen that it has con
verted to its doctrine the greatest
statesmen and countries in Europe
and the world?
IL free trade would benefit our
American agriculture, why has it
impoverished the farmers of Eng
land, Ireland, India and wherever
it has been tried?
If free trade would help this
country generally, why did it
plunge us into bsnkruptsy and mis-
cry every time it has been tried in
America?
If protection Expresses the COM
mon people, why was George Wash
ington a protectIonist?
If free trade elevates labor, why
were the shareholders Free Traders?
If reciprocity is a h~nmbug. why
are Free Traders so anxious to make
the point that sit ia only another
name for Free Trade anyhow"
If the adoption of Cleveland
tariff policy in this country would
not benefit England, why are the
press and public so earnest in their
advocacy of his election?
If the Mckinley act raises the
prices of manufacturers, why are
they lower now than before it be-
came a law?
If it lowers wages, why are wages
higher now than before it passed?
If protection is unjust, why was
Abraham Lincoln aproteclionist?
If a nation must buy IN order to
sell, why Was the balance of trade
in our favor $500, 600, 900 in the
past year?
If strikes are due to the tariff,
why r there two strikes IN Free
Trade England to every one in the
United States?
IL protection is unconstitutional,
why were the trainers of the con-
s~titution protectionists?
If Free Traders are really the
friend Of the farmer, why did they
abolish the duty on wool?
IT the protected United States is
not prosperous, why are We the
only nation in the wide world that
has no immigrants?
If the tariff is a tax, why can you
buy numberless articles for less than
the duty on them.
If u higher wages are due to
the greater efficiency of American
workingmen, why do foreigners who
come here receive two or three
times as much as is paid for the
same work in their own country?
If a revenue tariff does not cause
pauperism, why were there more

Soldiers at the Convention.

The delegates and visitors in at
tendance on the Republican State
Convention at Madison, comprised
such a large proportion of veteran
soldiers, that the writer hereof cal
led a meeting on Wednesday, the
Goth, in one of the large tents at
Cbataqua grounds, just before the
convention met, to ascertain the
number of old soldier delegates and
alternates present. A roll call of
counties was had, each M giving
the number of soldier delegates and
alternates from his county. AT the
conclusion of the roll cali it vas as
certalned that every delegation in
the State had soldier delegates, the
total number being 1892, while the
alternates numbered liz, or a total
of 3O5 delegates and alternates-
nine soldier ~alternates were after
wtrds admitted as delegates, max
ing! a total Of 405 actual partIcI.
pants in the deliberations Of the
convention, 243 of whom were far
meIs. No doubt this accounts for
the fact that the three principal Of
6cers on the ticket are old soldiers.
A committee was appointed at this
meeting, who presented the follow
ing resolutions, which were unan.-
mously adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t has been reported
and published in the newspaper
press Of the so-called Independent
or peoples party, that the veterans
of the union armies, having become
dissatisfied with the administration
of President Harrison and the Re-
publican party, have in large num-
bers joined the ranks of said tiiird
party. Your committee, represent
ing, as it does, some 400 unlon vet
Grams, delegates to the State Re-
publican Convention assembled here
to-day, denounce the statements so
made by said newspapers, as mali
cious and false in all respects and
ar insult to the manhood and 10y
atty of the union veterans of the
late war.
RESOLVED, That as Union Veter-
ans, true Republicans and loyal CIT
liens, we recognize in the platform
of the Republican party adopted at
the republican national convention
at Minneapolis, June 18th, 1892, the
spirit of true craftsmanship, eco
nomic, wise, just and firm admins,
t~ration of our affairs, looking solely
to the best interests and prosperity
of all our people irrespective Of pc,
litlcal affiliations or otherwise, and
to the honor and dignity of our be.
loved country.
RESOLVED, That we shall now,
and at all times, support and pro-
claim the principles of our party
and that we shall not cease our Of
forts until both houses of congress-
and the President of the United
States shall be Of one and the same
political faith and that the faith Of
the Republican party.
We believe the comrades wht
have joined the ranks Of the Inds-
pendent party are as honest IN theij
convictions os we are, and that the,
have lost none of their loyalty Of
manhood, though we de believ,
they will fluid themselves shameful,
wronged and deceived, when the,
come to cash up their debit ant
credit account.

Republicans, says an exchange,
never forget the true amenities of
life-no matter how deeply wrap
ped up in apolitlcal fight. For in
stance: At the State convention in
Madison, during the very hottest
hours of the strife, the business of
the convention was entirely sus-
pended until "a purse vas made up
for Capt. and Mrs Bryson, of Get
tysburg, whose house and barn had
just been destroyed by a tornado.
And again were all proceedings
stopped to allow "a presentation of
the purse by Hon A. B. Melville,

Tools and implements which are left

be by the inclement weather at other
seasons. The wooden portions, becom.
ing very dry. shrink, crack and warp,
and the entire implement becomes loose

not be an excuse for leaving any nipple
ments in the field. If you DO leave them
unprotected in this way it will cost more

earned by having a little more time at
your disposal. Good farmers look after
