NO RnnErY ZOE AGR1cuLruRE.

As predicted in these columns, the
vote on Senator Cannon's amendment
to the tariff bill showed how utterly
hopeless is the attempt to secure a
bounty on agricultural products. Out
of all the host of republican senators
clamoriDg for protection for their pc
culiar and personal interests, but two
voted with Mr.. Cannon-Mantle and
Pettigrew. Senators Harris of Kansas,
Heitfeld, Allen, Butler, and Stewart,
populists, and TilIman and Roach, dem
oerats, swelled the vote to a total Of
ten-and the leading republican organ
of Chicago calls them all "dems-
gOgues."
The farmers of this country are
placed in a peculiar position toward
the party in power by this action
Pennsylvania and, we believe, six other
states, have said through their oranges,
and said it emphatically, that there
was no possible advantage to the far
mer in an import tariff. The prices on
all exports from the farm are fixed in
Europe, hence the "home market" idea
can have but a limited application at
best, they reasoned. If, therefore, the
farmers of the United States are to be
held in line for protective tariffs, they
must share in the protection" thus
afforded. That was the clear and IN
mistakable message carried by Sen
atOr Cannon, Mantle and PettigTew
from the most representive association
of farmers in the country to the United
States senate. Bread was asked and
a stone was given.
After all, as Hancock wiseley said in
1880, and was laughed out of the cam
paign for saying it, "The tariff is a
local issue" and the votes of the mem
bers of the senate prove it, if proof
were needed. But the question which
that senate has yet to meet is: How
much longer will the American farmer
stand this thimble-rigging game by
which he furnishes the votes and gets
left? FARMERS Voice.

Savannah Elizabeth Powell was born
November q, 1880, died June 10, 1897,
aged Is years, 6 months and % days.
In early life she was seriously i'm
pressed with religious truth, and last
winter at the meetings held here was
converted and expressed herself ss be-
ing happy in the Savior's love.
During her sickness, which was long
and severe, she was patient and re-
signed, and as the end drew near was
anxious to go and be at rest. ConYer-
satiOn on the subject of religion always
interested her and she gave many ex-
pressions Of her bright hope Of Heaven
and often exhorted those that stood
around her bedside TO live good Feig-
ious lives and meet her there. When
her mother was singing to her OF
Heaven she manifested great delight
at the prospect Of soon reaching that
blissful place, saying II imagine l can
see its beauties. 1 long to put on q
robe Of righteousness and see the king
in his beauty" A few hours before
her departure she called all the family
around her beside and asked them all
to meet her in heaven. To her brother
she said I have a special request tC
make. She said, ''yOu have been a good
brother; now I want you to quit pro
family and live a religious life aud meet
me in Heaven" and while they sang
"When the General Roll is Called" she
asked those around her personally
"will you be there" She said she had
prayed earnestly that she might get
we'll, shut now as I cannot, pray that
may be prepared for death, that I may
have a peaceful hour to die" The night
before she died she said she wanted
to 60 to bed with her mother and lay
her head upon her breast as she USED
to, and wanted them all to pray earn
estly that she might have a good night,
rest, as it was her last night on earth
and those prayers were answered
When the hour came she peacefully
passed away and calmly slept in Jesus
