The farmer will either pay so much money or haul such an amount of stone and gravel as suits them best, while those living near the road will apply their poll tax and their land tax to the improvement besides what they donate. The business men of the city will be called upon or all of them that have not been for a liberal donation to help the move alongj and the enterprise deserves a liberal support from everyone and especially from those who have the road to travel during, the wet season of the year, w’hen the mud becomes so deep that they “ can scarcely get through with an empty wagon. What is the matter with our farmers west of town trying the saipe scheme? There can be built a mile of road each way this season if the proper effort is made by the parties owning farms along the different roads leading out from town. While the trustee can always be depended on for some help and the supervisor can be relied on to grade the road and put in good con- > dition to receive the gravel and stone. And now while the quarries are removing the top layers of gravel and sand from the stone the same can be got very cheap, so that with a little’ extra effort on the part of the parties mostly interested the work can be accomplished with but very little outlay of money to anyone. So, let some one do as the f Root township farmers have started in to do, and a little enterprise with some money behind it will start the ball rolling so that but a short time will elapse until we can get out and x into town at any time of the year with a load, for the farmer beyond the end thus built will soon add more to the end, thus establishing a line of pikes from the town in each direction. While to the far mer the greatest benefits are to accrue from such a move, yet the business interest of the town cannot afford to sit idle and let such chances slip by them unheeded, for other towns around us are looking for our trade and during a part of the season it becomes necessary for farmers to go where the roads are so they can get back the same day. “When congress meets,” the Columbus Herald says, “we hope that body will see its duty in the discretion of revising, and improving by restricting, our immigration law. Reputable people who come to this country to make their home, are and will be always welcome—they are guaranteed tire protection of our laws and can, upon their own motion, haye the same opportunities for material advancement as the native. But the. disreputables, of any nationality, we do not want. The laws should be made so stringent that the criminals of the old world, the helpless paupers and the habitues of the slums, including the mafia, the anarchists, and kindred classes who declare themselves, either by word or act, as the enemies of law and order, cannot set foot upon our soil, except at their individual peril. Already we see a national menace in this class. From all responsibility Cor the protection of disreputables * the Government must not only relieve itself, but from them it must also» use its ‘ strong powej to protect the people.” , k. ' The road question is one of the most important this county has to deal with. Now as we have the county W 5611 drained and to make it the best in the state we must have good roads. Reports show that E. J. Pen- . ♦ . nington, the great inventor of air hhip tame, has left Chicago in about the same way he did Fort Wayne. | • -

77ZA* JAAVA’Zrr 7>7?.\V7?A’. Thu diiiht i would have I ven iuoubucveoi'ul but for the unavoidable absence <-i many of the wry best protected ones. Among those who would have been very glad to a tie mJ and testify to the benefits of protection, but who really didn’t feel able to come, were: The 16,000 Pennsylvania miners who have been on a strike since their wages were cut 10 percent. The pottery workers of Trenton wliose wages have been cut 22 per cent. The ribbon weavers of Patterson whose w ages have been cut 15 per cent. The spinners of Lowell whose wages have been cut 3 cents per hundred. The coal miners of Illinois whose wages have been reduced from 69 to 60 cents per ton. The employes of the Buckeye Reaper Works who have suffered a reduction of 30 percent. The employes ot the Otis Iron and Steel Companies of Cleveland whose wages have been cut 30 per cent. The Hopedale weavers whose income has been reduced 21 cents a yard. The Cocheco weavers whose wages liave been cut 4 percent. The 2,500 employes of the Illinois Steel Company who are on a strike against a proposed reduction. The employes ot the Crane Iron Company, of Allentown, whose wages have been cut 10 percent. The 600 Providence weavers whd struck against a proposed reduction six weeks ago and are still out. r The Wilmantic spoolers whose wages have been cut #1.50 per week. The furnace workers of Cleveland whose wages have been cut 10 percent. The coal miners of Evansville, Ind., who are still on a strike. The employes of the Jacksonville (Ill.) Underwear Company who struck against a reduction. The Lewiston cotton workers who do not like even a reduction of 3 percent. The hat makers of Methuen, Mass., -whose wages have been cut 25 percent. The Chattanooga steel-worksrs whose wages have been cut 10 per cent. The employes of the Saxony Knitting Company of Little Falls, N. ¥., whose reduction is 20 per cent. The steel-workers employed by Mr. Carnegie who lose 10 per cent. The Scranton iron-workers who are in the same box. The Steelton, Bethlehem and Pottstown iron-workers who lose respectively 7, 10 and 12 per cent. i The silk-workers of Warehouse Point, Conn., whose wages have been cut 27 percent. The 1,200 brick-workers of Trenton who struck against a 20-per-cent reduction. . ■ - The engravers and chasers employed by the Middleton Plate Glass Company whose wages have been cut 15 per cent. The cigarmakers of this city and Baltimore, still on strike against a reduction. The leather finishers of Solomen’s Newark factory who revolted at a 14-percent reduction. The employers of the New Haven Rolling Mill who are still out on strike because of 10-percent reduction. All of these 50,000 or more protected workingmen appreciate the great boon conferred upon them by the McKinley bill. But for the reduction in their wages deemed necessary by their employers to maintain the “principle” of protection, their absence need not have been regretted. Notwithstanding this unfortunate circumstance, however, they were not without representation. Most of their employers themselves kindly volunteered to attend at their own expense, and they were there last night hurrahing for protection with all their lungs. So, you see, the dinner would have been quite a success but for the dinner. — 77ie New York World. <> Ex-Mayor Harding, of Fort Wayne, has withdrawn from the Morton oJnb of that city, the Fort W ayne Journal says; It is an open secret that Mayor Harding attributes his defeat to the whitewinged element of the Republican party .

If <rur rb {••thik-an friend* are hnt.ebt and ere in their loud | r.H*es of the protective tariff, why d<> they not put at the head ot their ticket for 1892 the father of their famous pet scheme, the robber tariff. *They well know that William McKinley? in point of scheming and lowdown cunning that has been the policy of the party, is the equal of any of the chief executives that the party has furnished, and one that if they honestly believed what they preach, who will be in full sympathy with their views. While the party heretofore have always depended on the man and the money they fried out of the men benefited by the high protection scheme, they now have a chance to put up a man who represents the only idea the party ever had, that of class legislation for the benefit of the wealthy, and the keeping down of the farmer and laborer. The Chicago Tribune, one of the leading Republican organs and one of the most rank high protectionist in the west, says: “The Ohio shepherds are getting less for their wool than they did before the McKinley bill was passed, and that the demand for wool is not as great as it was before the increase in the tariff. The only one benefited by the high tariff on wool is the ranchmen outside of the United States, in those countries where they can only grow sheep that produce the poorer quality such as this country does not raise.” Again the blessing of high protection reaches the laborer but not ot this country but of some for eign country. While the laborer here pays for it in the way of tariff for the benefit of someone else. A little more reciprocity or free trade will help this country from being robbed by high protectionists. The war clouds that hover over this country are few and far between and since the war with Mexico, our trouble has been with our people and the redskins who owned this country before it passed into the hands of the white men, all of which could have been settled without the loss of life or bloodshed if the proper course had been pursued. But it took blood and money to develop the Republican party, and this country had a plenty, and to spare and rightfully did she pour out both, party might be built up that was ready to help bring the laborer to the same 'condition that they are in other countries. So far they have succeeded and have been able to hold the laborer down as with an iron hand, and eompell all to pay tribute to the money kings. ' The New Orleans matter is about quieted down, at least so far as the question of this government is concerned. Italy may still be asking , for something for her subjects that were killed but they will have to keep on asking and then in the future keep her organ grinders and peanut venders on the other side of the water, for America has but little use for any only those who come to be Americans, aqd live with us under and subject to the same laws that we do; for any and all others this country has no use. Give us men who will labor for the interest oLthis country, and we can find roomlfor all of them that will come. But such men as were shot at New Orleans, are not the kind that we want to improve this land ot burs where every man is supposed to have a free and equal right. Home protection is the cry of the Republican party by raising the tariff, but after they have raised it all they wanted to deny the last session of congress, they still find more strikes and more failures in business than before. Will they account for it, or as heretofore will they charge all trouble to the Democratic party and the South, the only way theydiave of getting out of the case.
