Tarpie’s Story on Judge Gresham.

Troy Observer: Down in southern Indiana, where Judge Gresham is generally known as “Walt,” bath republicans and democrats name their babies and other pets after the man wh hit Jay Gould tetween the eyes. Concerning this predilection of the Hoosiers, Senator Turpie of Indiana told severeral good stories the last time he was in hicago. Shortly after Gen. Gresham had made his two gallant but unsuccessful runs for congress against the irvincible M. C. Kerr, he and Judge Turpie were ri ing one day along a country road in one of the southern counties Upon a hilltop they halted for a few moments to admire the beauty of the scenery and to rest their tired horses. Near by was a settler’s cabin, its barn, fences and other surround ings bearing the marks 01 demoralization and lack of care common upon the farms of southern men; so, when a lank, raw-looking man with sunburned hair and an old greasy slouch hat upon his head came ambling up the hill, accompanied by six dogs, the genera) hailed the man. Gen. Gresham’s experienced eye at once det cted the fact that this settler was a refugee, and asked him where liew-S from. In answering that he was a settler from Tennessee, whence he had been driven because of his loyalty to the Union, the settler was much harrassed by one of his dogs. This animal kept jumping and barking about and making such a nuisance of himself that the settler was prone to make frequent and profane remonstrance, and to administer sundry kicks and blows. “Cuss that ar’ dog,” he exclaimed, “he’s the meanest pup I ever raised —the orncriest dog 1 ever had on my place. I’ve a big notion tv shoot him. Can’t teach the durn fool anything. He mought be a good dog. for he’s named after one of the best men in Injeanny, bit he ain’t” “And what do you call him?” inquired Judge Turpie. “Oh, that pup’s name,” replied the settler, “is Gen. Gresham, cuss his fool soul.”

READ AND THEN ACT.

Ths many a. vantages furnished by a Building and Loan Associa tlon can hardly be estimated. Below we cite a few of the benefits to be derived fr*an such an AssbciaJ tion, which should be seen at a glance by our enterprising citizens: They teach thrift and economy. They enable a rhan or woman to lay by a small sum regularly, whi h in most cases would not be saved. They enable a workingman to secure for himself a home, or to accumulat a moderate sum against a rainy day. They secure for w city a better, more self-respecting and stable class of citizens. They educate the workingman in the methods md principles of business

They give him a personal interest in the management of his hardly accumulated savings. They give him hope, and make him more contented with his lot when he finds himself making some little headway w th his earnings. The expenses are merelv nominal—no heavy rents, no high salaried officers. The profits are derived from premiums which merely determine what member may borrow first, from interest at 6 per cent, comjj pounded monthly, and the fines for delinquency. The profits are shared equally: the depositors are the shareholders. The investments are in real estate in a growing city with the best possible security. A workingman with no security to offer ard therefore helpless in the business world, will find his shares grow until in a few years they are themselves security for a loan. If he borrows late his his shares mature as quickly as do those who borrow early in the series. He has his home paid as soon, but in the meantime has been paying rent instead of interest. —Exchange.

BEAD THIS ARTFULLY.

New York Star: ommerce between the United States and other countries has not been crushed out. The theory of the high protectionists that we can develop an allsufficient home mnrket has totally broken down. But the foreign trade that we hold in spite of a pernicious system has passed into the hands of outsiders, and the profits of carrying products to and fro between continents go altogether into the pockets of aliens, who also monopolize the benefits of sales in our home markets of goods designed for exportation, as well as of imported merchandise, and the mischief extends even further. Our foolish effort to carry out the bigoted idea of “American markets only for American producers and dealers” results in the transfer of a great part of our Uome trad to the control of foreigners, and we thus lose n< t only the profit on our transmarine sales and purchases, but much of the gain of the traffic between merchant and customer within our own country. As to the shipping interest, even during the war with the South we made a mere respectable showing than we do now. » Last year was the worst ever known to our shippers since the American merchant flag made its appearance on the ocean. • In considering the broad economic vuestion that is now before the country, no considerable division of the population must be left out of account. Protection as it has been practiced, is the friend of very few. In the long run it is the friend of none, as is demonstrated by the condition of workmen to-day in the industries that have deemed t .emselves specially

favored by the war tariff system. How hostile the inhibitive f ax is to the farmers ouraccomplished contributor has demonstrated in articles published during last month. But the case of the merchant and of those he employs has not yet received sufficient consideration in the discussion. Here in New York, amid the recollections of our once great ocean traffic, with the multitude of European flags at our wharves, where American ensigns once far outnumbered all others, we shot Id be able to appreciate the necessity of breaking down the barrier that has destroyed the honest business of which we were so proud, and in which, under democratic government we held the second place among the nations of the world —and, but for the blight of monopoly projection, would now hold the first rank. The reduction of duties on leading imports would bring to our merchant 4one advantage not often considered. The temptation now offered to fraud would be diminished or disappear; undervaluations would no longer prevail, and Americans would not be driven, through the operation (J their own laws, out of business uy xurcignew, who have no other interest "in pur country than the gain they can make by defrauding it. The dut;es named in our schedules are not eollected. To reduce them to a rational basis is the wisest way to insure just receipts and a fair field to American enterprise, so that the industry and commerce of the country may both flourish for the advantage of its own citizens.

Take your butter and eggs to J. W. Duvall, at the new Grocery, and get cash or goods for them. In 188? Senator Sherman opposed the bill to prohibit Chinese emigration into this country. He is now, however, in favor of excluding Chinese cheap labor. . Remember the new Grocery and give them a trial. Two doors east of post-office. J. W. Duvall, proprietor. The Lagrange Register, republican, calls the Prohibitionists of Indiana “a body of politically misguided men.”

Beatty’s Organs and Pianos

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, the great Organ and Piano m nufacturer, is building and shipping more Organs and Pianos than ever. In 1870 Mr. Beatty left home a penniless plow-boy, and by his indomitable will he has worked his way up so as to sell so far, nearly JOO,000 of Be.itty’s Organs and Pianos since 1870. Nothin {seems to dishearten him; obstacles laid m his way, that woul -< l ave wreckeefany ordinary man forever, he turns to an advertisement and comes out of . it brighter than ever. His instruments, as is w 11 known, are very popular and are to be fourd in all parts of the world. We are in formed that during the next ten years he intends to sell 206,000 more of his make, that means a business of $20,000,000 if we average them at SIOO each. It is already the largest business of the kind in existence. Sn dto Daniel F. Beatty, Washington, New Jersey, for Catalogue.
