Harrison vim Be NomInated.

The Federal Government will
soon be without representative at
any of the foreign courts, as the
President in his desperation to Sc
cure a nomination for a second term
is calling all the missionholders in
to work on the home plantations.
A Blaine man was heard to remark
the other day that all the support
Harrison has for a second term, are
the Federal officeholders and the
negroes. There may be semb-
lance of truth in the remark, but
the tricky party managers are
doomed to be disappointed when
they lay their plans to shake the
big hat of little Bonnie. He is
with them, and he is there to stay
until the last dog is strung up, when
he will go home from Minneapolis
with a nomination stuffed under the
sweat-band of his hat, and PIatt
Clarkson, Quay and Sherman will
eat their crow in silence.

We find the following dialogue
floating around among the Repub-
Iican exchanges credited to the Os-
kaIoosa Herald
Farmer-W What are you doing.
young man7
Clerk Waiting on you. Weigh
ing out your sugar.
Farmer-How much are you Civ
ing me2
Clerk-A dollars worth
Farmer-les. l know; but how
many pounds2
Clerk-Twenty-four.
Farmer-Twenty fouri Why, it
used to be only fourteen
Clerk-Ies. but Mckinley did it,
Farmer-Wcll run her back and
give me only fourteen pounds If /
took home twenty-fonr pounds of
sugar for 81 the old woman would
make me vote the Republican ticket,
and I'll be hanged if I'll do that
This is very good as far as it goes.
But how was it that The passage OF
the Mckinley bin enabled the far
mer to buy ten more pounds of SUI
gar for a dollar now than before the
passage of the act2
This is a question that our Re-
publican friends refuse to answer.
It can only be due to the fact that
raw sugars have been placed upon
the free list. In other words, be-
cause of the abolition of the tariff
on sugar to that extent.
Manifestly, if the abolition Of the
tariff on sugar lowered the price of
sugar. that is increased the quanti-
ty that the purchaser gets for 81,
the abolition of the tariff on wooden
clothes, on carpets. blankets, on
kitchen utensils, etc, would also
lower the price, that is increase the
quantity that 81 would purchase.
The farmer in this dialogue thus
overthrows the whole argument
upon which the Mckinley act rests.
The Mckinley bill, according to the
statement of its author, was drawn
for the purpose of checking imports,
that is. of taxing and Furnishing per-
sons who insisted upon buying for
eign goods. But the Mckinley act
made notable exception on sugar.
Instead Of furnishing people for buy
ing sugar abroad, it removed all
obstacles TO its purchase by reduc-
ing the tariff on raw sugar, making
it almost free The consequence is
that the price decreased as the inn
ports increased and the consumption
of sugar has been greatly augment
ed. In other words, the abolition
of the tariff on sugars added i'm
mensely to the comforts of the sugar
consumer. The logical conclusion
from this statement is that the same
treatment of wool and woolens, OF
tin plate, of steel and the imple-
ments made from steel would be
equally beneficial to the American
consnmerzC Courier Journal.

SocietY Notes.

Men should go early to a party if
they have to go before supper and
sit in the parlor all alone while the
hostess is dressing.
If a male is late he is taken around
a circle of about forty people and
introduced to every one of them,
and there is nothing more awkward
than man when he tries to bow.
Every one in the room stops talk
ing aud stare at him, and if there
are any 16-year old girls present he
can hear a suppressed giggle when
he is trying his best to be graceful.
A man is never graceful except
when he is saving wood or hammer
ing a nail, and society should not
exect him to bow like woman who
has spent years learning how TO
handle her feet and hands.

Woman dramatically Considered.


The following are some Of the
general rules for considering wo-
man grammatically:
As a noun she is in the objective
case.
AS pronoun she stands for her
sell.
AS verb, imperative mood, pres
eut tense, when she desires you to
serve her, but subjective mood and
future tense when you ask her to
marry you.
As an adjective she is in the su-
perlatiye degree.
AS conjunction she is a failure,
for her sentences are not connected.
AS an acknowledgements.
l cannot say she is an adverb, for
she does not modify anything.
As an article indefinite, bat worth
the world to any man.
l love her in any mood or case,
especially the indicative mood and
possessive case, but always in the
feminine gender.

A wedding occurred in New York.
The only curious thing about the
affair was that the bride had but one
eye, and that the loss of the other
was the cause of the wedding.
They grew up together in their
native village in Austria without
any special regard for each other.
A few months ago they were play
ing at cards, and Martin by acci.

or two after he sailed for America,
and lately heard that Victoria had
lost her eye through the accident.
He Immediately wrote offering to
marry her, and the wedding result

if an unmarried man destroy an eye
of an unmarried woman, he must,
Within two twelve months, make her

.'. Of The Mckinley Bill.
In general prosperity that is
nov 4 '1ed to be prevailing ;n this
coa1. .he agricnltnrists do not
sb1.s h|s is the time of low fig
aIss Al agsicnltpral products.
Ihe hopes of better prices on ac-
count of the short crops of Europe
the last year have not been realized,
why2 Simply because the almost
prohibitory duties imposed by the
Mckinley bill have prevented the
enlargement of the markets for our
surplus, because the laws of trade
demand a reciprocity of dealing be-
tween nations, and so long as the
product of other countries are ex-
clnded from us just that long will
they refrain from purchasing our
products only to such an extent as
their necessities require. The ten
dency of the present tariff laws is
to enhance the value of capital in
vested in manufactures and no at
tempt is made to benefit the agri-
culturists or those engaged in the
various branches of labor. If prices
of manufactured products are not
raised by the Mckinley bill, as the
Republicans claim, then no good
has been accomplished by that
measure for it certainly has re-
duced the revenue of the govern
ment, and the result shows that the
market for our surplus agricultural
products has been narrowed to such
an extent that the prices have been
materially reduced. No country
can prosper until it takes care of its
farming interests. and this Infamous
measure that is grinding the lie
out of our farmers, should be repeal
ed as soon as possible.

The results Of high tariff work
exclusively in the interest of the
manufacturers The farming class
receive no benefits tberefrom either
directly or Indirectly The tax put
upon agricultural products was Of
no practical benefit to the farmers
from the fact that this country has
no competition in farm products.
No appreeiabIe quantity of farm
products are imported and would
not be if there we're no tax imposed.
Our farmers produce more than
our own people can use and produce
cheaper than can be produced in
any other country

A bill to exclude political infiu-
ence from tho 61 900 fourth class
postofiicez in the country has been
agreed upon at a meeting of the
House committee on civil service
reform.
The bill provides for the division
of the country into postal districts,
and where vacancies occur open
competition shall be announced by
postoffice inspectors who shall rec
ommend the best man to the Post
master General, after receiving the
applications and examing the facts
Congressman and other Federal
officials are forbidden to make rec
concentrations or interfere in any
way with appointments under the
bill, and appointments or removals
on political grounds are prohibited.
The people, we think, will ap-
prove any good measure which will
take from Senators and Congress
men the control of the Federal off,
ces in the States. The control Of
this patronage is fruitful source
of corruption. II is used by Con-
gressmen as means of rewarding
their friends and perpetuating
themselves in Office, and much ol
their time, which might be far more
proitabiy employed, is spent in dis
tributing these places.
