Ways and Means Committee for hearing
the views of interested citizens concern
ing the revision of the tariff, it it prov
ing quite too long for the Bourbon free
traders who are running things in Con-
rress, and for their party in general
Facts have been forced upon the atten-
zion of the committee and the voters of
the country which may well stagger the
courage of the Democratic leaders.
Every days session furnishes the best
of campaign material for the Republican
defenders of the protective tariff system,
and renders more clear the connection
between Democratic hostility to the ex-
isting revenue system of the United
States and the ills from which business
is suffering. The free traders, in Con-
gress and out, will breathe d sigh OF re,
| lief when the manufacturers of America
can no longer come before the Ways
and Means Committee and tell the truth
about the condition and needs of indus
tries upon which hundreds of thousands
of citizens depend for their support. a
fortnight more of tariff hearings would
so sap the courage of Wilson, Turner
Breckinridge and Co. that they would
never dare report the kind of bill which
they were appointed to frame. As 1t Is
they are likely to soften down the pro
gramme of the radical free traders yer.

LARRY NEAL said, at Newark. $50
long as we have protective tariff. we
can have no general and permanent
prosperity in this country" This is too
palpable a falsehood and bluff TO be
believed by even the thickest headed
dupe of Democratic ideas. Does not
every school child know that this coun-
try has had protective tariffs for the
past thirty years, practically continu-
ously? And will even SO blatant a
demagogue as Neal affirm that the
United States of America has not been
prosperous during the past thirty years?
The facts of recent history give the lie
directly to Meals sophistries. During
thirty years of the most unparalleled
prosperity this country has enjoyed pro-
lection, and that prosperity begins to
wane only when the party which Neal
leads gets into power and threatens to
destroy Protection.

HOW to Judge a Horses Age.

Pitts burgh National Stockman.
The foaI is born with twelve grinders.
When four front teeth have made their
appearance the foal is twelve days old,
and when the next four assert them
selves its age will be about twenty eight
davs. The corner teeth make their first
appearance when the foal is eight
month old. and these latter attain the
height of the front teeth at the age of
year. The two -year-olds have the ker-
nel-the dark substance in the middle of
the crown-ground out of all the front
teeth. In the third year the middle
front teeth are shifted, and when three
wears old these are substituted by the
permanent (or horse) teeth, which are
larger and more yellow than their prede-
cessors. The next teeth are shifted in
the fourth year, and the corner teeth in
the fifth, giving place to the permanent
nippers. At five years of age a horse
has forty teeth, of which twenty-four are
grinders, far back in the jaw, with
which we have little to do. But, be it
remembered, horses invariably have
tushes, which mares very rarely do.
Before the age of six is arrived at the
tush is full grown, and has slight
groove on its internal surface (which
generally disappears with age, the tush
itself becoming more round and blunt,
and at six the kernel, or mark, is worn
out of the middle front teeth. There
will still be different color in the centre
of the tooth The tushes have now
attained their full growth, being nearly
or quite an inch in length, convex with
out, conclave within, tending to point,
and the extremity somewhat curved.
Now, or perhaps some months before,
the horse is said to have a perfect
mouth. At seven years the mark, as
described, is very nearly worn out of
the four centre nippers, and fast wearing
away in the corner teeth, especially in
mares, but the black still remains in the
centre of the tooth, and is not completely
filled up until the animal is eight years
old As he gets on past seven the bride
teeth begin to wear away. At eight the
kernel has entirely disappeared from all
the lower nippers. 1t is said to be ''past
mark of mouth" There are indications,
however, after this age, which will enable
very shrewd observer to guess very
closely at horses age, but none can be
relied upon by observers.

DEMOCRATIC county organs are
strangely excited because the Hon. c. l..
Weems, Republican nominee for Prose
cutting Attorney, was born down in
Noble county. You had better turn
round and look at your own strong and
beautiful ticket with its two importa-
tions from Guernsey county. The cases,
indeed, are not exactly parallel. In the
case of the Republicans. there was
really some contest for the places, but
in the case of the Democratic ticket on
the other hand, no Belmont county man
could be found foolish enough to take
the nominations, and they were conse-
quently imploringly offered to the
Guernsey county men.

their absence. Those roosters that were

HERE'S truth to be meditated upon.
Governor Mckinley said it last week at
Akron:
The persistent cry was made from one end OF
the country to the other by Democratic orators
and the Democratic press against what they were
pleased to call mckinley prices" They were
hurled from every stump as an extortion and as a
robbery of the masses to enrich the few. There
is not citizen of this country to-day who would
not like TO have those prices back again. They
will soon discover, if they have not done so al
ready, that "cheapness" is not the highest aim OF
American citizenship
