Would it not be- well for the platform

the democratic. party so often affirns
and reaffirms its devotion TOT Even
though the principles be as old as
man. there are young men who grow
up who need to be told what their
greatgrandfathers and grandfathers
who were the politicians In their days
did really affirm. Come, gentlemen,

These are the prices which the farm
ers of Clinton County who trade at
st. Johns pay for goods they buy.
They are getting better prices for their
wheat and other products, and they
are paying less for farm implements,
households necessities and clothing.
1t will require something more than
the mere assertion, we imagine, to
make Clinton County farmers believe
that the tariff is a tax on everything
they buy.
The list of prices ought to be inter
est!ng reading to Farmer Youmans of
Saginaw, who declared on the floor of
Congress that the tariff authorizes
the WOODEN manufacturers to. charge
the people GA cents extra per yard on
the cheapest CLOTH. When Farmer
You'nans goes about the new Eighth
District this fall making stump speech
es, he should be asked at every cross-
road how it is that cloth taxed at GA
cents yard can be sold ut retail for
% and so cents. Diet. Tribune.

Folks name at the head of the ticket,

The popularity of 1.-THE Great Rock

ing long time since taken first place as
the peoples favorite between the Lakes
and the Mountains has compelled the
management to increase It's present
splendid service by the addition of a
train that is one night on the road
from Chicago to Denver. Colorado
Springs or Pueblo. This train will be
known as the ROCKY MOUNTAIN LIN
ITED," and will be put in service May
first. Leaves Chicago daily at 10 as A..
NJ, arriving at above cities in the af-
ternoon OF the next day, earlier than
any of its competitors. Especial equip
ment has been built for this train, with
the view of making il LIMITED in ev-
ery sense of the word, and best of ali.
there will be no extra charge. The
route of this exceedingly fast train is
by the Rock Island Shore Line, and a
few of the large cities through which
it passes, are Davenport, Des Moines,
Council Bluffs. Omaha, Lincoln. Bea-
trice, Fairbury, Belleville, Phillips
burg, Smith Center, Colby and Good
land. This makes it n most desirable
route, and particularly interesting to
the traveller. Another point: The
popularity of our dining-car service is
still on the increase. and no money
spared to make this service what our
patrons always say, ''the best"
Our big 5" will continue as usual,
leaving Chicago at 10 p. NJ, and arriv-
ing at Denver, Colorado Springs and
Pueblo the second morning, being but
one day out, and this fast and popular
train goes through Omaha.
Our No. IL will leave as heretofore
