big bodily as well as mentally. Mr.. Sar-

town, but lately lived in Chester and who
was overcome by the heat last week Fri
day while at work in the hay field, and
died during the day, weighed 325 pounds.
a special coffin had to be made and was of
the following dimensions, eight feet long,
40 inches wide, 20 inches deep. Mr.. Hag-

CAMBRIDGEPORT.


During the thunder shower of last week
Thursday. at p. NJ, lightning struck the
barn of Rev. J. \. Leach, about mile
from this village, and all his barns, with
so tons of hay, and outbuidings were to-
tally consumed by fire. The house and
some of his farming tools and most of his
live stock were saved. Three head of cat
tie, four pigs and one horse were burned.
His new barn, 100 feet long, was the best
in town, costing $1,000 His loss is a
heavy one, but is, so we are informed, well
covered by insurance. He will rebuild at
once.

one leg, the rest of her body having been
eaten by the dogs who were confined in
the house. Whether she was killed by
her dogs or died from natural causes will
probably never be known. 1t will be re-

THEY WANT PROTECTION.
Dry Goods Dealers of New York Listen to
a Speech From Whitelaw Reid.
By their Enthusiastic Cheering, they Man
ifest their Belief IN Reciprocity
and Protection.

At meeting of dry goods men in New
York on Saturday, Whitelaw Ried was
requested to address them md his speech
consisted of business talk straight from
hearty endorsement and is worth repeat
ing. 1t was in part as follows:
"Reciprocity has brought to New York
what it ought to have had forty year
ago, and that is Central and South Amer
wonder that men who brought this trade
to this country should be badly thought
of in England? Is it any wonder that in
London they should want to see themde-
feated at the elections of November?
Whose country is this any way? Are we
running it to please the English or our
selves?
The injustice of these propositions is
so obvious that there is but one way to
escape the natural conclusion. If the
tariff and reciprocity are adding wealth
by millions to this country they ought to
be sustained. Our opponents tell US we
are getting no new business; predict dire
calamity, and assert that no one prospers
except the sheriff. But we can allow the
sheriff to go out of business, such is the
prosperity Of the country to-day. Since
the campaign opened we have received
some curious Democratic documents.
We have learned from that miserable man
Peck, as our opponents call him, that
wages and production have increased,and
scarcely have we digested these facts
when we learn that the savings bank de-
posts of workingmen throughout the
state have increased; then we digestthose
and learn that the deposits in the state
building and loan associations have also
increased at a wonderful rate. Then we
examine and, even more strange, learn
from the state board of equaliZation-and
no business man wants nonsense from
the board-that according to its report
in this state in the year 1891, with the
Mckinley tariff the in full tide ofits de
|stroying sway, real and personal proper
ty has increased 1852, 100000 in value.
That is moi. q speculative value; that's
scalamity for you. I have spoken to you
as business man. The testimony is all
one way. If we. cannot disprove these
Democratic reports Of prosperity thereis
but one question for you as business men
to answer. Do you want to decree by
your votes a sweeping and radical change?
Suppose you give the Democratic party
power to carry out its promises. 1t
promises to repeal the Mckinley tariff.
That is the purpose of the man who is
not quite in accord with his party and
finds difficulty in standing on the Chica-
go platform long enough for US to see
him. How can business man vote to
bring destruction and disaster? | close
with single appeal. Do you want to
bring about a change disastrous to your
business No. DO you want to vote for
the party which has promised to do so2
If you do not believe what they say why
trust it, If you do believe them, then
why, again, trust it, Then vote for that
sagacious, incouruptible man who has
occupied, and predict will occupy the
White House for four years to come.

hope that he was a sorehead. He said

board Of trade is now established. But.
| tell you, the game is now up. The in
vestigating committees minority report
was Mr.. Pillsbury's argument against
false option selling. and the publicity of
facts has sealed the doom of the Chicago
board of trade.
The intelligence of the country will
demand prohibition of false option sell
ing, and then trade in wheat left to open
competition will establish itself at your
Lake Superior ports. Wheat values will
cease to fiuctuate. The price of wheat
lands will steadily rise and an era of
prosperity never before known will set
in around theNorthwestern farmer. Wheat
will then be sold at Duluth to Europe,
and as it will require about year to
distribute the crop it will necessitate an
increased local bank capital of over
100000, which steadily employed in
this holding and distributing of the wheat
crop will render finances of the North
west independent of New York or Lon
don, and commercial and fiscal freedom
be first established in purely agricul-
tural region. Much good will come from
this agitation, but it will result only from
demonstrating the soundness of Wash
burns and Pillsbury's views and efforts
for our emancipation of our markets.

July, 1892, has passed into his
tory as one of the most memorable
summer months Of recent years. 1t
will long be remembered as the
month Of the Homestead riots 1t
dawned upon a great industrial es-
Enlistment on the banks of the
Monongahela converted into q fort,
equipped for warfare with four
thousand men who had been it's
operatives. 1t closed upon strng-
gle which, still unended, has DO
parallel in the annals of labor
troubles conflict marked by law
lessness on all sides, violence, riot
ing bloodshed, attempted assassina-
ton and brutal torture inflicted in
the name OF military law. A calm
and judicial review of the exciting
events OF the month reveals an un-
precedented series OF instances
wherein individuals or bodies Of
men ignored the public authorities,
took the law into their own hands
and usurped the functions Of gov
eminent. 1t was this defiance of
law at almost every point that has
given the story of Homestead so
many startling features and led to
so many serious consequences. The
lesson is costly, but may prove val
liable. 1t is that lawlessness, al
ways to be condemned. is specially
deplorable and disastrousin cen
troversy between employer and EN-
ployo.
