j. w. Diver, of Berlin Center, o.,

One time a man

And all the world
Grew drear and coldS
The halt and blind,

He'd never mind,
He starved his tummy

His hoardings grew
And grew, and grew
Until he owned
A bank or two
And had million

Yet still he toiled
From sun to sun,
And still his wealth
Did grow amain:
He said: "a million
More, I'll gain,
And then I'll rest"
But still he lied,
He made two million
More and died.
His rainy day
Had never come.
At his demise
No muffled drum
Beat a sad note;
His heirs were glad
And scattered money

And no one wept
Tho one man said.
There's one smart man

Cheap Living in Denmark.

In Denmark 81 week is good
wages for a laboring man. He
can live comfortably upon that
wsge and bring up a large family
OF children. Four dollars a week
to the Danish laborer means much
more than $3.50 day to the
American laborer because the cost
# living is comparatively little.
Skilled workmen are paid 81 to
81 20 a day. which affords them
ample means Provisions are
cheap. and at the best hotelsrooms

A Fact For The Farmer To Think
Over.

Over.
1t is fact fully proven and no
longer denied that our manufao.
turers of farming implement, sew
ing machines. machinery and nun
dreds of other things that might
be mentioned, are sending the
same abroad, paying ocean trans
portation and all other charges and
selling them in the foreign markets
at price from 25 to 30 per cent.
less than the same implements or
machines are sold at to the farmer
here at home. These goods are
not sent abroad for fun but to be
sold and at a paying profit. The
machine sent to Europe or South
America and sold at $75 would be
sold here at home for 500 The
high tariff on this GLASS of goods
by excluding the foreign compeu
tor enables the manufacturer not
only to monop lie the home mar
ket but ship lis goods abro1d, pay
ocean transportation, and to cell a
profit in foreign markets in com
petition with the world He can
do this for the simple reason tha,
the tariff enables him to exact an
unjust profit from the home oon.
sumner. Under such state of facts
is it not clear that the farmer is
forced to pay the tariff tax and a
good deal morep Now when the
American farmer. contemplating
the condition presented by such
state of facts, goes to the polls and
deliberately votes against his own
interest and to tax himself, he
must do 80 because he likes to pay
taxes. or because he is ignorant of
the facts. or because hs is blinded
by party prejudice he is power
less to overcome.

The Republicans are charging

Legislature. Both parties are
s sanding out a great many campaign
documents. and, if there be mis-

that the Republicans are as guilty

all will agree. is fully warranted by
the very Objectionable. disreput-

There is one document in which
there can be no misrepresentation

were enacted-and these the Demo
Gratis are sending out in large

Committee. as we are informed,
had the Public Printer to print fol
it, and at its expense. %. 900 copies
of these laws. They have been
sent into every community, and
any voter who wants to read the
laws themselves, will have nc
trouble in securing a copy. The
laws speak for themselves, and the
Democrats have been at great ex.
pense in putting them into the
hands of the people.
