Postmaster General Wilson has
formulated a plan for making the
small country postofices branches of
the larger ones in the towns. His
scheme savors strongly of the salient
features of a trust. Possibly he has
taken hint from his sugar and oil
friends.

1t has been known for some weeks
that the Business Mems Association
have been negotiating with certain
large manufacturing establishments
with view to locating them here.
The preliminaries having been ar
ranged all that now remains is for the
people to put up certain sum Of
money and establishments which will
employ at least 500 men will be 10.
Gated here as soon as the buildings
can be erected. With this end in
view a meeting was held i'll the court
house Thursday evening, a full re-
port of which is given in another
column.
The result of that meeting was very
encouraging and indications are that
the requisite amount of money car
be raised. The par value of the
Building Association shares are SIoo
payable in installments of Is cents

investment, the object is most lauda.

Presidential booms are being incu-

not yet sacrificed is Grover Cleveland.

Cleveland only is left and the people
are just itching to get one more whack
at him.

Senatorial courtesy is one thing, but
party fealty is another. Therefore it
is absurd to charge that one Senator
gives political assistance to another of
different political faith. Personal
friendship might prompt such an act,
but political prudence would forbid.
The above is applicable to the charge
made that Senator Quay aided Sena-
tor German.

EFFECTS OF "TARIFF REFORM"

EFFE(l y Of- - AEiff- REFOHM.
There is an object lesson for FARM
ers in the exports of wheat for 1892,
which were I57, $50, ISL bushels, at
$I.o5H per bushel, amounting to the
magnificent sum of $I65,93o,7 So, 80,
and 1895, after the "narkets of the
world" had been opened to American
farmers by the Wilson bill. accord
ing to Mr.. Wilson himself (our
readers remember what he said in
this town but one year ago., the ex-
ports of wheat were 1881, $50 bushels,
at COZ cents per bushel, the price
being S45,S79, I4I6o, loss to farm
ers in the matter Of the exports of
wheat alone of SI2o, o5I, 63S.So.
Now let our bright boys and girls
figure up the loss Oh the entire crop
which, approximately, would be loss
of so cents bushel on five hundred
millions of bushels. And then if any
are mathenatically inclined let them
estimate the loss on the corn crop of
2, 500, 900, 900 bushels at IS cents a
bushel and they will find that it is
S625 900, 900. These figures are sim
ply appalling. Nearly billion dol
lars loss on but two staple products.
Then take wool, cotton, potatoes,
horses, cattle, hogs, and a thousand
other articles which go to make up
the products of this great Nation and
the stupendous fact stares us in the
face that in one short year the farmers
are forced to suffer losses amounting
to more than the entire national debt,
including the amount added to it by
reason of the same cause.-The Wilson
law.
Having now become interested take
up manufactures Of all kinds and rail
roads and mines. The cold figures
will not lie.
Then estimate the benefits and
strike a balance. If you, dear reader,
will follow our suggestions in good
faith, our word for it you will have
learned lesson that will last a life
time.
