The editor Of the Teller sought to
defeat the chairman of the county
board for reelection by vigorous at
tack on that gentlemen and the coun-
ty clerk several wceks before the
meeting OF the board The great in
iluence Of the Teller is shown in the
fact that the chairman was reelected
without opposition, his official action
commended by resolution of the board,
and the clerk received many assur-
ances of confidence and approval.
Pollock seems about to surprise every
body by being consistent on one phase
Of the bond question. He was willing
that the country people should be
taxed for railroad bonds when the
railroad was built into Lancaster and
he hasn't yet raised his voice against
the bonding of Beetown. 1t Is all
right for farmers to pay bonds but
when the property Of himself and his
rich city owners is liable to be taxed
il is very different matter. Bonds
is his hobby! Maybe it was a con-
dition of getting the notice of the
Beetown bond election that the bond
lobbyist should keep still and not
hoodoo the whole thing.

Dear Sir: A two weeks trip over
land" to Fctterman and back shows
me that if this part of Wyoming is any
index. there is little to fear in the COM
ing election. They are naming the
babies in Converse county Mckinley.
Sheepmen from Alabama and Georgia
are a unit on Mckinley. All the sec
ton of country along the Fremont.
and Missouri Valley railroad
is II vast sheep tract and a democrat
sheepman would be a curiosity for
Barnum's circus. One young man at a
sawmill on the La Prele said he would
pay for his lumber after election with
5O-coEt silver dollars and the %propric-
tor said that was all right but it would
take 10 gold dollars or its equivalent to
pay for a thousand feet, whether he
paid in silver or gold. The young man
hadn't thought of that and is studying
yet, no doubt. how two silver dollars
won't go further than one gold dollar.
But they won't under Bryan.
One %sheepman that has trailed from
the west for 20 years and is q boiled
in the wool democrat. said; Yes. you
cant miss it buying good sheep now.
If Mckinley wins we all know what
that means-good times for sheep. No
Il disputes that.
If Bryan wins you are all right. be-
cause another four years of free trade
wedding out will down so many that
must go down with Cleveland that the
few that can stay will be in the swim
just because of the value that will fol-
low the few sheep that remain.
Now there is democratic statesman
ship for you and If any democrat sheep
man reads comfort in it he is welcome.
Free trade has lone its work. but the
sharpest dodge yet is the free silver
move. If by any hook or crook free
silver should win, the laboring men and
producers of this country will get their
fingers pinched and no mistake.
But Bryan won't win. The returns
from Vermont and Maine settled thai
matter. The sober second thought of
this country is all right.

see the gree backs OF the fish. big and
little, but they were not after our flies.
The others went up the stream a con
siderable distance, and l remained by
the pool. 1t needs two men to lane a
salmon. Presently l began idly casting

pretty tired.

was a smooth gravel mar 40 rods be-
low. Then l towed the unfortunate
fish down there. got him headed for
shore, and ran straight back on the bar.
Out he came. Hopping somersaults on
the gravel. The gut leader broke, but
l threw myself on top of that salmon
and clasped my arms around him. He
was lippery and strong, and l could not
hold him. Finally l got my fingers in
his gills, reached for a stone, and gave
him three or four merciless whacks
over the head. Then l had him. l was

FREE TRADE AMI AGRICI

Never was the blighting effects OF
free trade on agriculture so we'll ex-
posed as in Protection and Prosper
ity." After %recounting the campaign
Of Mr.. Golden and the Anti-Corn Law
league. Mr.. Curtiss says:
After the Corn laws were repealed,
and the work of the league accomplish,
ed. it then threw off the mask and bold
ly announced to the world that II the
farmers of England we're unable to sur,
vive the competition of foreign coun-
tries, it was no fault of free trade, and
they must perish. They had either OBJ
tanned the influence of tenant farmers
or had allayed their active opposition
by false pretences, fallacies and decep-
tive arguments. They had told them
that the repeal of the Corn laws was
from ultimate ruin, that free trade
would raise the price Of farm produce
and that England could compete with
any country in the world. In 1854, when
the farmers of England were crying
out against impending ruin, the Anti
Corn Law league comes to the rescue
again, but with an entirely different
argument. 1t now announces a great,
scientific truth, a fundamental princi.
pie of economics. a law of nature, as
will appear from the following quota
ton taken from THE Charter of the
Nations" in which the Anti-Corn Law
league gave to the world it's review of
one phase of the free trade movement:
"In order to make out the beneficial
influence of free trade on our agricult-
uarl interests, it is by no means neces-
sary to prove that agriculture is at the
present moment as profitable to those
who are engaged in it as it was under
our protective system. The permanent
utility Of the change to agriculture it.
self, may render inevitable a tempor-
airy diminution Of profits. Measures
which are in the highest degree bene-
fetal to the bulk of a population. may
for a time be anything but beneficial
to particular sections Of it. The imme-
date effects Of free trade upon inter-
ests formerly protected, is to test their
real value to the nation, to ascertain
whether they can profitably support
themselves, without receiving their &C.
customed subsidy from the pockets of
the people. AS soon as they are expos
ed to competition. the persons engaged
in them are obliged to tax their utmost
resources. and apply to their develop
ment the highest amount Of skill and
energy. For a time the struggle may
be hard, and less profits may be real
lied than on the old system. but II in
a national point Of view, such interests
are worth c%ultivating, the foreigner
will soon be driven from the market.
If they are not worth cultivating they
will soon become extinct, nor is there
any reason, in such circumstances, to
wish their perpetuation. Our agricult>
ure is just now undergoing this whole
some ordeal, after ages of prescriptive
right our farmers have to contend for
existence. That command Of the Brit
ish market which they have hitherto
secured by unjust laws, they must now
secure by superior energy, or abandon
1t to their rivals. But free trade is not
to be blamed for this struggle. II small
er profits r for a time the result, It
is not to be imputed as a fault to the
change which has been brought about
in our commercial system"
