The consumers of the United
States have not the money or the
time to present their case to the
ways and means committee on tie
subject of tariff taxation. That is
left for the millionaire protectionist.
But when it comes to voting the
consumers are to the front all the
time, and speak in language that
cannot be misunderstood In 1892
by a million majority they demand,

The verdict cannot be changed by
the personal appeals of few score

dinance against bicycles SO as to per-
nit them to use the west side OF

A snake of the blue racer variety
has been found milking a COW
belonging to a farmer at Tiftin, Ohio.
The discovery was revelation to
our agricultural friend, who had
been attribnting the decreased yield
of milk to the Democratic admins
tration. He has eliminated this

Wool is still selling at Mckinley
prices, and Western wheat at Har-
rison prices, Notwithstanding the
duty of % cents per bushel on the
latter and II cents per pound on
the former. Reasonable people
cannot expect Cleveland prices
before they harvest their next crop.
The pearl button manufacturers
say that they will have to shut up
