Palmerism Boiled Down.

A farmer having occasion to hire for
awhile, and, later on, to pay off and
discharge, a man who wanted work very
badly at the start, returned in the even.
ing to find the discharged man very
much at home on the porch, but idle.
The following conversation took
place:
Farmer-'I thought discharged you
this morning2"
Laborer-"Well, what of it?''
Farmer-"What of it? Well, that's
cool. I propose to put you off these
premises at once"
Laborer-"You cannot do it,
Farmer-'I own this place, and you
must get out"
Laborer-''There you're off, squire.
Your wife is interested in this farm as
a partner. heard her tell you yester.
day that you didn't own everything on
the place. That partnership makes this
farm a public institution according
to Senator Palmer, and l have a right
to remain here as long as l please"
That old farmer is not in love with
Palmer.

The wage earners of Illinois Justly
regard Gov. Fifer as their true and
steadfast friend This he has proven
by every act of his public life. Nor is
it surprising that the governor should
sympathize with the laboring masses.
His own lot early in life was that of a
faithful toiler with his hands. From
grubbing and planting on an Illinois
farm, and firing on his fathers brick
yard, he rose to be a mechanic; and,
even after his majority and his service
in the army, he exercised the calling of
a brick mason; and many wall, as
plumb and true as his own steadfast
character, has Joseph Fifer laid in his
old county of Mclean. When man
can touch elbows with the active repre-
sentatives of labor and honestly declare:
81 am one of your NUMBER" it greatly
excels the utterances of theorists only.
Gov. Fifer has always been the earnest
friend of the laborer. 1t is now a part
of the imperishable history of this state
that many of his views have been
enacted into law. To begin with, the
ballot reform recommended by him
was carried out in the best voting law
now in force in the United States.
Under that law the laboring man can
vote his sentiments in secret and Is in
sured his full weight and influence In
the government under which he lives,
free from intimidation or interference
of employers. Many other laws were
also passed by the last general assem-
bly, directly tending to the benefit of
labor upon the governors recommenda-
ton, the full history Of which is known
to every miner and other laborer in the
state, and space need not be taken here
to recount them in detail. 1t is mat
ter of history that he promptly affixed
his official signature to every bill passed
by the legislature in the interest Of
labor. Gov. Fifer has received for these
acts the just praise and supreme conf
dence of the laboring people Of Illinois.

Republican Reciprocity Did 1t,

In 1891, during the ten months end
ing April 80 of that year, the exports
of carriages, horse cars and cars for
steam railroads from the United States
to Brazil amounted in value to s4s2. 78O.
In 1892, under republican reciprocity.
during the corresponding period, our
exports of such articles to that country
amounted in value to s745, ,483.
This increase of 1862, 2,7os, or s4.5 per
cent, was caused by republican reci-
procity.

POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

Grover Cleveland ought to be able to
produce a fine magazine article on
'sHow Not to Get Pension" Nobody
knows better than he all the arguments
on that side of the question.
Dennis Kearney seems to have broken
into the United States senate under the
name Of John NJ Palmer In any event
1t is quite certain that hereafter the
name of Palmer will be ssDennis.''
The state of New York having recent
1y passed law refunding to drafted
men the amount paid out for a substi-
tute during the war, Grover Cleveland
can get his money back and blow it in
on his own election.
The growth of our foreign commerce
during the year closing June 80 is hard
ly in keeping with the gloomy predic-
tions of calamity prophets. Over 81 ,OOO,-
10000 is thetfgure; while the per capita
of customs duties collected 1912 was
only s2.S2, as against $5.2S per capita in
1912.
Rhode Island operatives seem to get
along pretty well. Certainly they are
not compelled to work for starvation
wages" They live well, dress well, and
their deposits in the savings banks av-
erage over 1000 per family. All these
ers under the protection policy of the
United States.
Among other numerous converts to
protection may be mentioned ex-Park
Commissioner D. M. Somers, of Brook
lyn. He has resigned from the general
democratic committee, and declares
that he cannot indorse the democratic
free trade doctrine. Since the adoption
of the Mckinley bill Mr.. Somers and his
brother have erected an immense tin
factory ia Brooklyn.
A southern democratic paper-the
San Antonio Express-says that all
man has to do to become millionaire,
is, to go to work for the Homestead
company and save his salary. If he
does not succeed in this, according to
Senator Palmer, he will secure an
employers and SO he is bound to be
millionaire any way.
With characteristic haste to give cur
rency to falsehood, the Chicago Times
published communication from Cen
tralia declaring that Hon. Jacob Grosch,
of that city, was opposed to the reelec-
ton of Gov. Fifer. The Centralia SEN
tinel declares the statement to be false,
on the request of Mr.. Grosch himself,
who is too good a republican to allow
personal affair to lead him into the
ranks of the enemy.
Seventeen millions dollars state debt

WAR CLOUDS IN SOUTH AMERICA
Argentine Republic and Peru Preparing
to Attack Chile.

Argentine Republic and Peru Preparing
to Attack Chile.
Panama advices received from sources
rated reliable seem to prove that war is
imminent between the Argentine Repub-
lie and Peru on one side and Chile on
the other. These reports say:
"Peru is perfectly we'll armed, and her
forces have recently received hundred
thousand Mannlicher rifles, together with
many other machines of war; A Chilean
gentleman just arrived from Peru states
that in that Republic the approaching
war with Chile affords the staple of con-
versation, and it is fact that pretense
Of friendship is only put forth as means
for gaining time. In the Argentine Re-
public a vigorous recruiting of both ma
tives and foreigners is being prosecuted,
and the Government is with feverish
haste arming the troops. There is no
longer any doubt that secret compact
against Grille, offensive and defensive,
exists between the two Republics named,
and they are only awaiting anything
that will serve as a casus belli, in order
to throw one army into Tarapaca and
another upon the southern frontier,
while strong skirmishing parties will
harrass this county from the Cordilleras.
The Chilean Government has tardily
opened its eyes to the threatened inva-
sion, and has ordered the steamers of the
g. s. A. V. to be prepared for immediate
incorporation into the navy, cabling for
the Captain Prat to proceed to Valparaiso
without moments delay"

The Father of the Tariff.

Senator Morrill,, of Vermont, who is
vften called the father of the present
tariff system, and who is a conservative
Republican, has this prediction to make
rs to the probable course of the Demo-
cratic party in the next Congress:
II think they will begin by taking the
duty off wool, and probably off coal.
hardly think there is any danger of an
outright repeal of the Mckinley bill.
There will very likely be a substitute
measure adopted, which, I expect, will
be of speckled character. There are
many industries in strong Democratic
States in the South, for instance, which
absolutely require protection, and the
people of those States will bring the
necessary influence to bear to get it.
II hardly think they will interfere with
the pension list just yet, though there is
no doubt that the party is hostile to the
present measure, which calls for $780,
900, 900 annually. To have left this item
at about $125. .000,0 900 might have been
better, anyhow"

SHE WAS SOLD LIKE A SLAVE.

A Fifteen-Yea--Old White Girl Disposed
of TO q Man for $500.
An interesting case has come to light
in New York, showing the existence of a
system of the worst kind of slavery. Ivy
Roche, aged Is years, appeared in court
against Mrs. Leck and Mrs. White, who,
at the instigation of Harry Lawrence, a
book-keeper, abducted and sold the girl
for $500.
Mrs Roche, the mother of the girl,
said that her husband was recently q
member of the Ohio Legislature. Last
February Mrs. Leck's husband, who is a
oookmaker, asked that Ivy be sent to take
care of his wife, who was an invalid.
Ivy accepted the situation, but Mrs.
Roche was alarmed last month when she
heard that Mrs. Leck and Ivy had been
seen in saloons, drinking with men.
Ivy's story is, that at Mrs. Leck's
house she had been introduced to two
men, Lawrence being one of them, and
that they gave her 500. She kept $50,
and gave $75 to Mrs. Leck. Mrs. White
was also visitor at the house. "At
McQuade's road house," continued the
girl, Lawrence frequently visited me,
and gave me money and gold watch. ="
Lawrence confessed that Mrs. Leck and
Mrs. White sold Ivy to him for $500. Of
ticers who made the arrest claimed that
Mrs. Leck was cunning enough to see
that her subjects" were over 16 years
old, but Ivy was as well developed as a
girl of 20. and Mrs. Leck was deceived
for once. The prosecution proposes to
proceed only against Mrs. Leck and to
let Lawrence 90

total of $4,000, to be followed this week
by criminal action against them as we'll.

several other Ministers and the mem
bers of the municipal government were
present. The church was thronged.
The coffins were covered with wreaths.
Upon the conclusion of the ceremonies
at the church the remains were conveyed
to the Mount Parnasse Cemetery. The
entire route was lined with spectators,
who manifested much sympathy. When
the cemetery was reached and the cof-
fins were placed in the earth the Prime
