tection to the cutlery industry afforded by the
Mckinley law. With the knife came the fol-

Within the last eight months have Travelled
extensively through the States of New York
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Hi.

In conversation with hundreds Of farmers and
business men in each one of these States,
have learned that the verdict is nearly unani.

steadily for nearly two years past.
In Kansas visited twenty counties. The
people met have assured me that land will

lit would TWO years ago. The statements
made in Nebraska have been to the same effect
In Iowa the improvement in price is still
higher. In the vicinity Of Atlantic City I was
assured by Trustworthy men that farming
lands are fully SIS an acre higher than they
were in 1889, and that sales are much more
readily made, at those advanced prices, than
they were two years ago at the very low
prices OF that date.
In Wisconsin tho rise is Just as pronounced,
but the increase is not so great per acre.
In Michigan the advance is marked, but no,

In Ohio, after visiting thirty of her counties,
Il am able to state that farming lands in that
State have risen in value between S. and SIS
per acre within two years. The tone OF the
Ohio farmers has entirely changed within that
short period. They have ceased to be de-
spondsnt and are now full of courage and
hope.
In New York and Pennsylvania the i'm
provement Is not as great as in the West, yet
there is decided change for the better in
these two States also. From my personal OBJ

Do Farmers Want Direct Taxation :

In discussing the Tariff 1t should be remem.
bered that we have TO consider only duties
upon imports. We levy no duties ON exports.
Whatever our people produce to sell abroad
goes out to our foreign customers free of anv

Irish goods

In 1883 Lord Clare said OF the condition OF
Ireland: "There La not a civilized nation on
the face OF the hsbitable globe which had ad-
vanced In cultivating, in agriculture and in
manufactures with the same rapidity In the
same period as had Ireland" Such statement
was made seventeen years before England got
possession Of Ireland. What Is the ireland Of
to-day after nearly century Of British tariff
legislation She has not manufacturing in
dustry worthy OF the name, her people forced
TO depend solely upon the soil for subsist-
ence. and periodically dependent upon the
worlds charity to keep them from starvation,
and her population reduced to half what it
was before she came under tho accursed
system.
The late Mr.. Parnell, whose farsseing etates-
manshlp and political sagacity brought his
country from utter hopelessness to the very
verge OF the liberty it had sought SO long and
vainly, keenly realized the vital necessity Of
protection to 1reland's we'll being. Said he, as
reported In the weekly edition Of the Dublin
kreaRans Journal Of August 22d, 1885:
''This question Of the protection Of tho in
dustries Of Ireland is ono OF vital Importance
for the nation. We have to consider the inter-
est OF the artisans Of the towns and OF the
iaborers In the country, and, as I have already
stated, 1t is my firm belief that II will be I'm
possible for US to keep this great portion Of the
laboring classes at home and in comfort with
out protection to Irish Industries. It pro-

Preservation Of her bone and sinew. Our
population has diminished at the rate OF al

Domestic Goods Better than Ever Before

In domestic production there never before
we're employed a. much skill and as great
amount OF brain power as during the past
season. The result is shown in the goods on
the market, which, in many instances are quite
equal to the best of their grade produced
from foreign looms. In every line the best
assortments are shown, and in nothing is any
OF them wanting, except in the matter Of de-
sign in certain lines OF fancy goods, which, in
consequence OF the higher artistic skill of the
foreign manufacturer, do not in all cases pre-
sent that smartness and newness OF design and
pattern SO characteristic in foreign goods.
Even in these there Is seen marked advance
on those Of last season, and taken altogether
domestic dress goods are q great credit to

election, occurring less than month after the
new measure took effect, allowed the people
no opportunity TO discover the truth before
voting, and the result was the great triumph
Of lying and the election OF the present Free
Trade majority to the lower House OF Con-

When, after election, the people began to
learn that prices, instead OF being higher, were
actually lower, as rule, than before the new
Tariff, the Free Traders dropped the prices
Question and took another tack. They started
in asserting that wages were falling. and have
kept up their assertions to this eff ct inces-
sanity down to the present writing. They con-
sidered themselves safe from conviction here,
because Of the known difficulty OF gathering
wages statistics for the whole county. But
this lie, also, has now been run to earth.
Tho Senate Committee, appointed soon after
the passage o! the Mckinley measure, to in
vestigate its effects On prices and wages, have
just reported the following results:
Daring the tooenty-eigM months from June 1,

cages Advanced on the acreage rs per cent.
This Is the esult obtained and unanimously
accepted by Senators Aldrich, Allison, Hiseock
and Jones, for the Republicans Senators Har-
ris and Carlisle, for the Democrats. The de-
tails OF the investigation were conducted by
Carroll D. Wright, Commissioner OF the De-
partment OF Labor at Washington, D. c.; Gen.
Francis A. Walker, Professor Henry G. Adams,

For time before the act OF union between
Great Britain and Ireland, in 1900, the latter
country enjoyed the advantages Of protec-
tive tariff, and Irish industry expanded and
dourished grandly. But after the union with
England, Ireland came within the influence Of
the selfish system of Cobdenism, which sought
the advancement OF British manufactures
even at the cost of the total destruction Of tho
Industries OF other countries. England
set to work to deliberately ruin those Of her
sister island, and this is how she did it:
She levied a higher tariff on goods sent
from Ireland TO her than Ireland was priv
