The Grain-O Law Shit.


Rochester, N. Y, May 10, 1S97.-The
great $4,000 damage suit instituted by
a Michigan Cereal Co. against the Gen
esee Pure Food Co. is at an end. They
settled it and took it out of court for
the ridicuously small sum of $500, and.
as practical result Grain-O is in greater
demand than ever. The new plant only
just completed is to be duplicated so that,
not only the old friends of the delicious
food drink which completely takes the
place of coffee, but the new friends it is
making every day, can be supplied. The
beverage which the children, as well as
the adult, may drink with benefit will be
furnished in unlimited quantities.
Suits may come and suits may go, but
Grain-O goes on forever.-N. Y. Mail and

Progress on the tariff bill in the Senate
was checked on the Doth, the plate para
graphs proving a source of controversy last
ing throughout the day. As a result little
more than Il page of the bill was disposed
of. The finance committee succeeded with
out difficulty in resisting proposed amend
ments from Democratic members of the
committee, although each amendment was
debated at great length. An exciting Incl
dent occurred during the afternoon, when
Senator Morgan of Alabama called to
order by Mr.. Gallinger, who was temporarily
in the chair, for severely criticiSing the in
action Of the House Of Representatives. Mr..
Morgan declared the speaker Of the House
was enforcing an automatic trapdoOr rule,
by which representatives were assembled
and dispersed, and he characterized this ac-
ton as an outrage against popular rights.
Mr.. Frye Of Maine first gave warning that
q protest would be made against criticisms
of the other house, and when Mr.. Morgan
vehemently repeated his criticism Mr.. Hale
of Maine made point of order against him.
The temporary presiding officer directed
Mr.. Morgan to resume his seat and then
ruled that he was out of order. The Ala
bama senator, somewhat chagrined, was
about to appeal from the decision of the
chair when Mr.. Hale withdrew his point of
order. and further friction was avoided. Mr..
Morgan resumed his criticisms during the
tariff debate and made the point that Con-
gress was not now in session, in accordance
with the constitution. the House of Repre-
sentatives having vacated its functions. At
ter a sharp contest with the tariff leaders
Mr.. Quay succeeded in carrying Il motion to
adjourn over the Decoration day celebration

Return of Prosperity.

Eds. Record Union: The advent OF
prosperity was heralded by newspapers
that had advocated the passage OF
protective tariff during the last ma
tional campaign for some time before
the press representing the opposite side
of the question saw any signs of i'm
provemcnt in business.
Instead of accepting the signs Of the
times, such newspapers derided the idea
and made little of what protective ad-
vocates had to say. But things have
changed, and we hear less of their ridi-
cule, because the people of the country
realize the change that has already
taken place.
A Fresno man a few weeks ago had
this to say: Wheat was then selling
for from 81 Al to 81 80 per Genital,
when last year it brought 90 cents per
GENITAL. That man had 1900 acres in
wheat this year. He was a pretty good
judge of the advance of prosperity.
Wool last year brought S and 9 cents
per pound, now it is y to IL cents
per pound
Dried fruits last year sold for from
) to ( cents per pound. This year they
bring from to s cents per pound.
Nuts, raisins and grapes have proper
tionately advanced. Live stock will
soon double the prices of last year.
Hay comes in the same category.
Everything the farmer has to sell
this year brings a good price. Real es-
tate is on the up grade. Farmers are
paying off mortgages and the money is
going into circulation. Confidence has
been restored and safety vaults are be-
ing unlocked and the locked-up treas
ure will be seeking investment. We are
on the eve Of times that will be better
for the next five or eight years than
we have seen under free trade rule for
the past five years.
The die has been cast, and the new
era is in.
1t viii be a bitter pill for the tariff
reformers to swallow, but they must
gulp it down. They cannot deny facts,
and make voters believe them. An
other free trade experiment will not be
made for q decade at least, and in the
meantime good times will prevail. We
read no more of the Administration ad-
yertising bonds for sale.
The Government has money in it's
vaults to pay all demands.
What a change one short part of a
year has brought forth. w.

Hawaiian Annexation.

Eds. Record -Union:' "Strangling
hands upon a nations throat. The
United States Government is founded
upon the belief that a just Government
can exist only by the consent of the
governed, and is preparing to take a

assurance of an old-time stage vii

Now, will this speak for alr' organ

method was ever resorted to. Was it

Was it when we acquired Alaska?

so will echo again through the land

annexation is, what it consists of, and
how it is accomplished. When a ter
