Jew Notions In Grammar.

Our English friends are a good deal
exercised on account Of new Eng
lish grammar which has appeared un-
der the auspices of the professor of
English at Vanderbilt University, in
Nashville, Tenn. The writer takes the
view that custom is the great authori-
ty in grammar. Horace, long ago, took
much the same position; but the ques-
ton arises: "What usage, whose us.
asc?" This new, authority in gram
mar commends such sentences as 1T
was him." 'iWho did you see?"
.These sort of hooks" This kind Of
English sounds little too much like
..cracker'' English to warrant it's
adoption. Philadelphia Press.

'JOLLYI.NGo THE F.ARjM ER,S.

Doubtless the farmers of the
country read with . glow Of pride
and qualification the accounts Of
the firm and vigorous republican
defense of the policy of protecting
the products of the farm.
In a solid phalanx the republi-
can senators stood arrayed against
assaults on the agricultural sche-
dulles. They refused to yield an
iota of reduction in the taxes levied
on the imports Of farm products.
The various rates agreed upon for
hay, corn, wheat, oats, barley, po-
tatoes, berries, eggs, butter, cheese,
milk, ETC.. stood just as they came
from the committee room. This
sturdy defense Of the farmers pro-
tective taxes was all the more
wonderful because it makes little
difference what they are. The vote
Yas a complimentary vote for the
farmers.
Another source Of qualification
in the voting of all this great array
of tallH taxes for the farmers, who
are kindly and generous folk, is
that no one will be hurt by them.
As we have more agricultural pro-
ducts than we can use, we must ex-
port an enormous surplus and no
one is compelled to pay import
taxes on his food. The farmer
will sell his products at the same
cheap prices as before with an
easy conscience based on the cer-
tainty that he is not taking food
from anyone's mouth or growing
rich at the expense Of others.
When he feels the llinch of heavy
tribute on his salt, his sugar, his
lumber, his utensils, his clothes,
his window glass, his shoes, his
carpets, his nails and OH all the
other articles he must buy, he can
have the sweet satisfaction OF
knowing that he does no robbing
himself and, while be has protec-
ton, no one is pinched by it. He
can thank God that his protection,
is not Of the kind enjoyed by the
robber trusts.
Another pleasant thing about
this protection of the farming in
terests is that there is practically
no limit to it. Whenever congress
feels like jollying the farmer and
complimenting him with additions
to his tariff protection it is at liber-
ty to pile them on without danger
of protest from other citizens. The
country loses nothing by. protect
ing the farmer and if he likes big
tariffs on his products he is well
come to them.
