THE GREAT QUESTION.

There seems to be no doubt that the
great issue in the next national cam
paign will be the financial question.
The fight for tariff reform has not
been without grand results. lmper-
feet as is the new tariff law, as Il whole
il leans in the direction Of greater
commercial freedom. The American
people may be trusted to profit by the
object lessons which it Is daily fnrn-
ishing In regard to the reduced prices
of clothing and many other necessaries
of life.
The Democrat firmly believes that
the protective principle will be grad
ually eliminated from our custom laws
and that we will hail the consumma-
ton with thankiuIncss akin TO that
with which we regard the abolition of
human slavery. But the financial
question viii divide political parties in
next campaign. The Democrat holds
that Il sound and stable currency is
essential to nations prosperity, and
that money is that which "rrcogniZcd
as such on every exchange and every
market Of the world.

Lack of ORGANIZED Force.

IIoard's Dalrymam
Congressman IIainer, Of Nebraska,
in very pertinent speech before the
National Dairy Union, at Washington,
said that he had learned one thing in
Congress, and that was that there was
almost a total lack of organization
among the dairymen of the United
States in favor of laws against adul-
tcration of dairy products. What u
comment that is upon the citizenship
of dairymen. Ask any man among
them if he is in favor Of such laws
and he will answer yes. Ask him if
he has done anything practical to inn
press his opinion on the law makers,
whether in congress or his own state,
and not one in Il thousand will answer
yes.
There are three simple ways for ev
cry dairyman to make himself elIec-
tive:
| He should write postal card to
his member of congress and to each of
the senators of his state, asking them
to support the Grout bill. Ask them
to defend you against Il fraud and
counterfeit.
Also write n postal card to your
member of the state assembly and SEN
ate calling for state laws against this
fraud 1t is the number of atoms in
this postal card snow storm that will
tell Every farmer can add to its
weight Don't fail to do ii.
, Send the small sum of one dollar
to the National Dairy Union to helI
make up the sinews of war in this
fight Do this all over the land and
the counterietcrs will hear something
drop inside the next so days. If YOU
wish, send your contribution tc
Hoard's Dairymau, Fort Atkinson

ADVANTAGES or LIBRARIES

The mprcssivcncss of n library is
felt by classes far outside of the one
which passes its life la using books
The ordinary town, although it may
not for reasons, best known to itself,
vote for the cost of II public library, is
always proud to have one, and is
always ready to believe that it is II
Il good one is willing to regard its
increase rs something worthy of nut
nicipal congratulations, and always
eager to enter its room with 10y and
thanksgiving. 1t is considered mark
of honor to possess u fair collection of
books, although III exact language, we
might not call this collection Il library;
and now it seems, if we may Judge OF
the course Of events, that it will Sc
mark our towns and cities. The town
in the future without its public hbrar,
will be kind ot municipal outcast, i,
not u freak in our social evolution
This growing interest in public libra

name of wonder he ever bought them,
books which are of no more account
to the owner than a mans early
day dreams. The man knows that
such books ought to find their way to
the auctioneer, or to the flames
But they represent 80 much hard
cash-they ill up 50 many shelves;
they look wise, if not beautiful, in
their resting place. A book seems to
be such thing of life, and has such
personality about it, that the owner
would be very hard hearted man to
ruthlessly sacrifice or destroy it.
And it is because, we firmly be
lieve. that In coming years, through
the influence Of public libraries, and
their associations, that there will be
not only better appreciation of
books, but better idea Of what books
will be of real value u us-books
which we can read, and consult with
pleasure and profit. All this must
lead to the broadening of the mind
in every community, a process which
all friends of popular government
should hail as sign that many evils
Of the past are gone
