Tariff i'etns of late are not entirely satislactory to Republicans who worship at the shrine of “protection.” The Democrats have boldly declared that the system is a superstition and a sham. The Prohibitionists have done the same; and the alliance and labor platform will follow suit. Something must be done to stem the tide setting in against “protection.” Republicans must not be content with trying to refute “free trade" and “Cobden club lies” but must do some aggressive work themselves. Spurred on by such sentiments as these Senator Hale, on July 28, concluded to “force the fighting,” and as a prelude to his challenge to the Democrats, he recited that at “no time has so large a proportion of the American people bfen employed at so high wages and purchasing the necessities of life at so low prices as in the year 1892." Then he proceeds to shoot at the wicked Democrats as recklessly as a boy with new popgun shoots at flies. After firing blank charges at “British doctrine," “balance of trade,” “high prices,” “low wages,” etc, and triumphantly announcing that “the Republicans of ihe United States gladly accept the issue presented,” he sat down ignorant of the fact that every shot had hit a hornet's nest. Tariff reformers of late have not been satisfied with mere theoretical reasoning, no matter how well founded their theories may be. They have taken the trouble to collect some facts to substantiate their claims. Senator Vest happened to have a desk full of these unrepublican things. He bad, in the first place, twenty-one samples of dry goods, coat linings, women’s and children’s dress goods, cotton sheets, corduroys, etc., prepared by a big New York merchant, showing that these goods, though the foreign p- ice has declined since 1890, are sold higher now than then-in some cases 20 per cent.higher. In the second place he had a few facts in regard to the increased duty on peril but tons, cutlery, tin plate, etc., and the increased prices on the same. Next he had * list prepared by J. Shoenhof, ex-consul to Tunstall, England, giving the labor cost of producing thirty-nine articles in America and England—the cost in all but eight cues being lower in this country, in spite of our higher wages. Then he had a |ist of one hundred tariff trusts, prepared by Hon. John DeWitt Warner, of the Republican club, and just printed as a sup plement to the New York World. He also had a list of two hundred and fifty wage reductions, strikes, etc., in protected industries since October, 1890, prepared by the same gentleman lor the Reform dub use, and to be printed when completed in -the New York Weekly World. Loaded with these and other similar facts, Senator Vest did some cannonading that silenced the Republican popguns After he had poured out enough of these fact* to fill thirty pages of the Congressional record, and the smoke of the battle began to clear away, Senator Hale found courage to say to Vest that they had trusts in England also and that “before this debate closes, the demonstration will he given to the senate showing his inac • curocy." Vest Inquired “why not give it now?" But Hale’s ammunition was out an dhe was compelled to retreat saying, \ “that was not my original purpose.” Perhaps he will bring more ammunition And renew the battle. Perhaps he will 1 I prepare a list of 250 increases of wages in protected industries since the McKinley bill became a law. Perhaps he will write up one hundred trusts in England 'that have raised prices there—often from 3 b(p. 50 per cent.—and that sell goods cliei»^ r to foreigner* than at heme. Per.; hap* hKwiHptoduce general hundred foreign and merchants to test ify that they are regularly paying off our tariff ikxta\. perhaps he will be able to •how that ><hye making all of our own tin plate and that the price 1* Itpser than ever before. Perh-p s he will demonstrate that a duty on moonshine would build up a green cheese industry here. Jus- now, however, he admit* his weakness and lack Os fact* on these point*.

Farmers’ inltltutt. The Farmers’ Institute held at Salem, Ind., July 35th was called to order by Chairman G. H. Martz.. After the welcome song, Rev. H. Spain, pastor of the M. E. church, conducted the invocation. In the welcome address, W. H. Bryan said: “The object of the meeting is to dicus* the merits and demerit* of the version, method* of b reeding, stock raising, tilling, etc.” The work of the institute is in it* infancy. Upon the farmer rest* the responsibility of the true education of the race. He made several practical observation on the responsibility of the farmer, and the possibilities of the farmers’ institute. n The question “Is it profitable to feed roots and vegetables in winter?” was discussed by T. S. Perkins. He gave many original and practical suggestions which showed investigation and preparation. He concludes that roots when mixed with grain are a vety profitable food. A very interesting discussion fol lowed the central thought of which was that roots and vegetables are a valuable food, but our soil is poorly adapted to their culture. After the noon intermission, in which was served such a'feast of nature’s bounty as would tempt the most epicurean taste, the program was continued. A very pleasant transition from the festivities of the noon hour was made by a song entitled “The Plow, Spade and Hoe.” Mr. J. L. Wheeler discussed in a very interesting manner the question, “Why Should Young People Attend Farmers’ Institute?” He regards the institute as a professional school where the rising generation of farmers may receive their industrial education. It furnishes also a much needed opportunity for social fan • provement. The subject "Poultry Raising and its products,” was discussed briefly by J. H. Beatty, who thinks the ordinary farmer cannot successfully carry on an extensive business with poultry. The subject “Dairy Farming and its products” was discussed by J. H. Beattv. He argues . that dairying could be made profitable If enough could be ob tained to make-it pay to ship. He supplemented his talk by exhibiting a small herd of typical Jersey cattle. Several interesting quetries which had previously been prepared, were at this time presented and answered. November 15th and December Ist were suggested as the dates most desirable for the next institute to be held at Decatur. The exact date will be announced later. G. H. Martz, Pres. R. M. Campbbll, Sec’y pro tern, Never Give Up. Many cases of so called consumption have been cured by Dr. Marshall’s Lung Syrup.

A Little Girl’s Experience In a Lighthouse. Mr. and Mrs. Loren Trescott are keepers of the Government lighthouse at Sand Beach, Mich., and are blessed with a daughter, four years old. Last April she was taken down with measles, followed with a dreadful cough and turning into a fever. Doctors at h:me and Detroit treated her, but in vain, she grew worse rapidly, until she was a mere “handful of bones.” Then she tried Dr. King’s New Discovery and after the use of two and a half bottles, was completely cured. Thev say Dr. Kin’g New Discovery is worth its weight in gold, yet you may get a trial bottle free at A. R. Pierce’s drug store, I. I -e—■ 111 Obituary. Elizabeth Lord, wife of Frank B.
