1t is true that condition as farm
ers is not as prosperous as we would
have it or as it ought to be. But il
might be worse and 1t has been worse.
/ can remember when the wages of the
northern labOrer was only 6 to s dollars
per month without board. When the
Illinois farmer hauled his wheat in his
wagons 30 to 75 miles and sold it in
Chicago for so cents per bushel. When
the housewife sold her butter and
cheese for 6 to 8 cents per pound. And
there are some here to-day who remem-
Der when cotton sold at 8 cents per
pound and calicos at 25 cents per yard.
When molasses would o pay for the
barrel that contained it and the hauling
to market.
Not many years ago a common mower
was retailed for $3.50; now you can buy

the farmer cut his grain by hand with
sickle or cradle, averaging only one to
three acres per day. and then raked and
bound it, which would take the same
time as to cut it. Now he rides on a
spring seat under an umbrella ii he
chooses, and cuts and binds from 8 to
10 acres per day. Soon we will have
the cotton picker and be enabled to har-
vest cotton with the same facility that
we do our grain.

Last week, the Central Board of Ed

of 30 to O., refused to pay any teacher

The nuns at the Riverside school ac-

At the request of the merchants and
others in England having large East
India and China trade interests, the
London Chamber OF Commerce has re-
presented to the government the urgen-

view Of finding ON remedy for the
heavy fall and violent fluctuations in

ing grave injury to Eastern trade.
The British naval estimates for the
year 1884, were issued March 10. The
government proposes to spend 1874, 000,-
600 in the next financial year upon the
navy, thus increasing by $15,0O0,0 900 the
amount nsed last year. The number of
the men in the service will be increased
by 6,700, including marines. In the
coming year seven new battleships of
the first class, six cruisers of the second
class, two sloops and t~hirty-six torpedo

THE WALKER TARIFF AND
THE M'KINLEY TARIFF.

Tom Reed says that at ia pretty
evident that quiet and certainty are
not to be hoped for in Democratic sue
cess.n That ia about the first time we
have ever known Mr.. Reed to hit
the truth politically. There Will
never be any quiet in this country as
long as the Democratic party has
breath and vigor 10 tear the fingers oil
the giant trusts from the throat OF the
people. That may be regarded as a
certainty, one of the most emphatic
certainties within the compass of the
power of Democracy, and it will do it,
Mr.. Reed and his party to the con-
trary Notwithstanding
Mr.. Reed also contrasted the times
under the Walker tariff to the times
under the government of the Repub-
lican party for the last thirty years
to the prejudice of the pros
perity under the Walker tariff
and highly euIogistic of the
prosperity of the country under the
regime of his party for the last ~
years. Prosperity for the last 30 years
has been very great with the favored
classes who were benefited by pro.
tective tariff, but rs they have grown
rich the people have grown poorer,
until Harrison's administration Was
the last straw that broke the camel's
back and bankrupted thegov eminent.
ITnder the Walker tariff prosperity
was general. We then had mer'
chant marine aud we exchanged pro-
ducts with every trading country on
the globe,and the islands of the seas.
We " ere 80 generally prosperous I'M
der the Walker tariff that the Wings,
who fathered the protective tariff, did
not attempt to disturb 1T when Cen
eral TAYLOR was made president, nor
was 1t ever disturbed until war tariff
became necessary under MIR. Lincoln's
administration.
Mr.. Reed talks about the last 80
wears as it the Republicans
were in full sway all that
time, forgetting that since the
reconstruction of the Southern states
the Republicans have had the major
ity in hut two congresses. In that
time they did harm enough. If they
had bad full sway all that time they
would have wrecked the government
years ago, -

The women in New York are organ

are more interested in personal and

Yesterday Afternoon.

A. II. Mexican, guarded by the
knights Templar and followed by
sorrowing relatives and friends, was
last afternoon taken to the silent city
of the dead and laid away to the re-
ireshment of his long sleep. The
Knights Templar of which order Mr..
Mexican was such an enthusiastic
member, had charge of the funeral.
The commandery had ont a very large
representation and the members were
mounted with but few exceptions
on black horses. DIR. Briggs in his
Knight Templar regalia officiated at
the church and in a few well chosen
words told of the manly and patient
life during all his long illness Of him
who was gone. He paid touching
tribute to the dead and then turned
ever the conduct of the funeral to the
Knights Templar, who OBLIGATED at
the grave. The pail bearers were all
Knights Templar. The church was
well filled with sorrowing friends, and
there were also present great number
of Austin's foremost business men
who thus offered their testimonial of
respect to him who had figured so
prominently with them in Austin's
business world. The directors of the
City National bank also attended the
funeral in body out of respect to the
deceased, who was formerly a director
in that bank.

the tariff: II am willing to compro-

MANNINGToN, W. Va, Oct. 15.-
Hon. w. L. Wilson arrived here at
2:15 this afternoon from Morgantown
and found 1000 Democratic voters
awaiting him. One half of them
crowded the opera house to suffocation
and 1.-The others massed outside the
building, unable to obtain an entrance.
J Mr.. Wilson spoke for an hour upon
| federal taxation. He said:
For 30 years the burden of taxation
imposed by our national government
bias been such as bore heavily upon
the industry and labor of the country
and lightly on its capital. We have
drawn all that has been used to coll
duct the great government machine at
Washington from the food and cloth
ing of the American people, tax upon
the backs aud bellies of the people
and not upon what they possessed,
and fully 81 out of every So collected
has gone, not for the public good, but
the support of pampered Industries
and the enrichme nt OF protected man
ufacturers.
You farmers are engaged in Occu
pations where no law of congress, save
one, giving a free exchange of com
merce, can add one cent q pound to

you are called on by the sweat of your
brow, by your toll in the fields to keep
in mode of life that plain people can
scarcely conceive of, the rapacious, in~
satiate monopolist who thrives under
Republican protection"
As to the last congress, he said the
record of congress, bungling and slow
as it was; utterly inexcusable as part
of it was, was a record of more done
for the American people, for the plain
people of the country, than by any
other congress in the history of this
people.
