A PITTsBURaH workingman, In an
swer TO the question, "Why are farm
products, such as are daily used higher
than they were years ago2' puts the
whole argument for protection as a
benefit to farmers in nutshell. lie
said; because you and |, under high,
or at least protective tariff, can make
more money working in steel works,
iron works or glass factory than we
can raise eatables. Under Cleveland's
instructions and the advice of the Cob
den club of England, pass a free trade
bill, and you will put plenty Of people
to work on the farms and no doubt re-
duce the cost OF the necessaries of life.
But what difference will II make to
you and mo how cheap they are II we
do not have work and can not buy
them?"
TIE West and South prospered TO an
unusual degree during the past year,
and the great cotton mills of the East
have done much better than usual too.
The history OF the mills for the past
twelve months fails TO leave the calami-
tyites any hook on which TO hang single
howl To begin with, the mills have
run continuously on full time and with
out any reduction Of wages. Secondly,
the production exceeds that OF last year
by As, 900 pieces Thirdly, the stock on
hand at the close of the year is 10000
pieces, as against bsS 900 for last year.

SHOULD HAVE A FAIR.
This Year Of All Years Should See
Good Work.

The farmers Of Di, kinson county
should take an early and active part in
preparing for big county fair this
fall. Secretary MOhler has issued q
circular in which he urges n thus:
Kansas farmers should at once proceed
TO do two things. The one is to select
a piece of ground large or small as may
be preferred well adapted To the growth
Of given farm product. Then by the
use Of fertilizers, and the highest cul
ture known to the art, place the ground
IN the best possible condition for the
production Of choice products.
That is one thing. The other is this:
Let farmers and others at once arrange
to hold an agricultural fair next fall.
Let the old societies now In existence
and the new ones when organized, al
once get out a premium list-a most
liberal one-for cereals and other farm
products, in order to stimulate farmer,
in the early part Of the season to util
ize every available resource for the
growth of extraordinarily fine samples 8
of farm products.
The reasons for this are obvious:
First, the most illustrious gathering,
All exposition unprecedented in histor'
will be held in Chicago next year. All
the nations of the globe with the pro
ducts Of the field, the mine and the
sea will be there. Every state In the
American union will be there, each
striving for the mastery in the excel.
lence, magnincence and attractiveness
OF the varied products displayed.
Kansas will be there The money,
am authorized to say, will he forth
coming for lrst class exhibit. A
Kansas building OF great architectural
beauty will be erected during the
summer at cost of about $4,000
But first class exhibit, one which
will do honor to the great state Of
Kansas and crown her with laurels
before the eyes of the gathered world,
requires the earnest, intelligent and
persistent cooperation Of the farmers
of Kansas.
Each society is entitled TO a delegate
to board meetings ut Topeka with
expenses paid aud to 500 from the
county treasury to help pay premiums

A THROUGH LINE.
Santa Fe Route from North to South
Through Abilene.

The Santa Fe line through Abilene
promises to become one OF the leading
direct routes through the state. The
new arrangement by which through
cars are run over leased lines from
Superior to Omaha nov makes the
road y direct one from Omaha to Gal
weston. One chair car is run without
change between the two cities and
Pullman sleeping cars will soon be put
on. The Santa Fe management, ac-
cordlng to high officials of the road L,
contemplates extending the line to
Omaha and also building IA cut off from
Strong City south to make more
direct line to the Gulf.
The Gulf outlet will I've in the future
the great shipping direction for Kan
sas produce. The Santa Fe will do
the bulk of the transporting and its
through north and south line will be
one of the great thoroughfares of the
west. The resul. will be to aid abb

Judge Spillman Agrees.

To the Editor nf Inn. E.RgFLECTOR
CLAY CENTER, Kas., March 5 I
notice an article in last weeks RE-
FLECTOR referring to recent decision
OF Judge Humphrey, Of the district
court of Dickinson county, in case
where IL per cent interest from date
was claimed upon mortgage bearing
lower rate of interest, but providing
for the high from date as penalty, In
case Of default, II was stated that the
Judge held that the increased interest
could only be claimed from and after
the date Of default, and this eminently
just and righteous holding, was
referred to as an innovation In that
court. | wish to state that In this
(the Twenty.llrst) district, presided
over by his honor, Judge Spillman Of
Manhattan, the same rule has always
since Judge Spillman has been on the
bench, been enforced; his honor hold
ing that when an installmert OF
interest is paid and accepted, that is a
settlement Of all questions Of interest
up to that date, and that ubstquent
default cannot reopen the question,
The reasoning seems to commend itself
for justice, equity and logic.
