If the Mckinley law had been let
alone, the American farmer in 1896
would be supplying nearly every egg IN
the American market. The farmers
wife would have felt encouraged TO in
crease her stock of poultry, on which
she depended for pin money TO clothe
herself and her children. When the
Mckinley law was repealed and the tar
in on eggs reduced from > cents to )
cents a dozen, importation increased
1,O0O,000 dozen in one year, NJ an in
creased price of $4,000. Unless the
American farmer can see it TO be his in
terest to vote for Mckinley and the
restoration of a proper duty on eggs, the
Canadian and other foreign farmers will
soon again ship MS 100000 dozen a
year and the price of domestic eggs will
continue 10 decline. rs they have done
for the last two years.

Question. Why should Democrats Legis-

the American Farm r?

The American farmer could not sell
eggs in Canada. even if they had no
tariff on American eggs. There are only
n few large cities there, and they are
near To the Canadian cheap farms. The
half-a-dozen small markets in Canada
have a total population only one-quarter
as large as that of the city of New York:
A few election districts in the city OF
New York. or in Philadelphia. or in

American eggs than the whole OF Can

CLOSING EXERCISES.

A very pleasant exercise, attended by
many interested parents n friends, was
held yesterday afternoon in room :. Nc
CIure school. The occasion was the clos
ing exercises by the class leaving the
grammar srade and entering the high
school. This Is quite an important event
in the school history of the average boy
and girl, and the members Of this class,
Agnes Brady, Florence Ross. Winnie
Lovett, Herbert Trullinger. Mabel Walk
ley, Charlie Johnson, Myrtle Blinn, Pearl
Estes and Ted Cherry, are justly proud
of their entrance into the higher work
in education.
The performances Of the different mem
bers OF the class we're very creditable
and showed much thought, rejecting
credit upon both pupils and teacher, Mrs.
Krager.
The essays and orations were all pre-
pared upon the subject recently given to
the pupils Of the public schools Of the
state. THE Benefits Of Patronizlng Home
Industry" 1t was quite a novel occa-
sion. and the practical nature Of the
productions added much to the exercises.
A class poem, composed Ivy Clyde
BayIes, OF the Eighth B grade, was
worthy OF special mention. The exer-
cises closed With the presentation Of
graduating certificates by Chairman
Dealey, In a neat, appropriate and
thoughtful address.
