BAGGINS AND TWINE.

f ute bagging and iron aes cr© essential to the proper an i eeonorriical marketing of cotton, th staple crop of th south. 1 wine is j ist as essential to th > proper harvesting f w ieat, the staple crop of the northwest. The protective tariff on bagging is fifty per cent ; on twine it is forty per cent. By the Mills bill bagging was placed on the free list, and the duty on twine was reduced to twentyfive per cent.

When this qestion came before the people tie cotton planters voted to sustain the Mills bill, but the whe.t farmers of the northwest were so afraid of the ‘•southern brigadiers” that they could not trust them even to reduce taxes, and so the Mills bill failed, and the farmers north and south were handed over, body and breeches, oxe to the twine trust and one to the bagging trust. Last autumn the bagging trust robbed “under the forms of law” the southern cotton planters of about one million dollars, and they are preparing to repeat the game when the-cotton-picking begins. The “twine trust” is now getting ready for its harvest It has not only secured control of th© twine product, but also of the r w materials from which it is' mad?. This raw material —hemp—is now taxed twenty-five dollars a ton; the “rebel el brigadiers” proposed to put it on the free lis*, but the Plutocr >ts defeated this proposition, and now no relief is possible. We do not think the trust will be able to put the price up to twenty-five cents, f*r such an advance would load to too heavy importations, and, as with copper, defeat the purpose of the combiner Still tlie tact remains that under the protection of the tariff a monopoly has been established, and he western farmers must pay the piper. From Sheldon Journal. Resolved, That ve view, with indignation, the formation of the binding-twine bust: we denounce it as an u righteous alliance to despoil the farmer and we hereby pledge ourselves to use no twine at all rather than to suffer sueh imposition and extortion. We are willing to pay fair prices, to live and let live, but we will buj no twine sold hy the trust, unless sup lied to us at a reasonable price.

Editor Journal: This resolution was adopted at the Fatmers’ Institute, at Watseka, February 27th, 1889.

Why should the farmeis remonstra.e at the extortions of high tariff monopolists? The question of all others, on which ihe two dominant parties voted last fall was, “Shall the high tariff, and the extortiorfs of the monopolists, which that tariff fosters and protects, he allowed to skin the producers?’ Jr, to put it plainly and truthfully, “Sh ,11 the manufacturers and importers be allowed to skin the produeers?” The verdict was, “Yes,[skin them all you wish.” Who gave this verdict? The farmers of the producing states, such as Illinois, Indiana, lowa, Nebraska, <fcc. Sixty-five Farmers’ Institutes in these states remonstrated against these abases, and then turned squarely around and voted to continue them.

It was purely a question of economy and common sense that was presented in that issue. It wa i free from all the old questions that had dividep ofar people heretofore, so rar as the main issues were concerned, and yet the farmers voted to continue the abuses like tiat covered by the resolution. Instead of 1 ©king to their interests, they seemed to vote as if ihe reselution read thus:— “Resolved, That the wa ’still continues; tnat sectional hatred sho’d be cultivated and handed down to our children as a precious legacy} that the democratic and prohibition parties are enemies of their God and their country and unwor[

the confidence of respectable people; and that all manufacturers of agricultural implements -hall continue to sell their goods to the accursed Evgli h cheaper than to the farmers of Illinois; t h «t the Louisian' l f-n ar producers shall receive a tuty of one cent a pound upon their|productions, and the producers of the great sb 11 receive not.uing on their productions.” M eanwhile twine continues at sixteen rets a pound, and corn at twenty-five cents a bushel! Great is Diana or Ephesus!

FOUR LIVES BRIGHTENED

I was in love with Alice Tracy, and it was said that she had been engaged to Hugh Morton for nrn hs. At this moment Hugh was bending over her, speaking in an earnest, impassioned manner that caused my heart to throb with jealous fury. She averted her face from his gaze, and as she did so her eyes caught mine. A vivid flush dyed her cheek. “Did you ever see a lovelier view thaa yonder pasture?” said the soft voice of Nora Tracy, Agnes’ younger sister at my side. "It is indeed, lovely,”! responded, “and one which would arouse the soul of an artist to enthusiasm. ” A low laugh behind startled me,and the next moment the clear voice of Agnes spoke: “How refreshingly artistic you are, Mr. Hunter.” 1 colored and bit my lips, and Hugh Morton, who had followed Agnes to where we stood, looking annoyed, also. “There are moments in life,” I replied, “when everything combines to stir in a man’s soul a depth of feeling which he had never suspected that he possessed. ” Agnes made no reply, and Hugh Morton led her to the other end of the boat. Again Nora’s little bird-like voice broke tn on my disturbed thoughts. “Agnes told me that she had never been so happy in her life as when out the other night in that awful storm with you. But then Agnes is so brave and loves things which frghten and appall me.” “My heart gave a great bonnd of joy Did Agnes love me? The sun sank, like a great ball of fire, below the western sky, and the bright stars peeped out, one by one, and. were reflected in the shining water beneath, in throbbing, quivering brightness. The rest of the party were on the other end of the boat, enjoying the full beauty of the moonlight, and I was standing, leaning over the railing, in the shadow of the pilot house, when a soft, hesitating step caused me to turn. The dark eyes of Agnes Tracy met mine, and in the surprise and delight of the unexpected meeting I caught her and held her in close embrace.

“Miss Tracy! Agnes! ” I began. But her soft voice interrupted me: “Nay, let me tell you first that you are unjust and unkind to accuse me of coquetry. I never knew until to-night that you loved me. How could I show or confess my love to you until you ha? offered yours to me? I\ow ’’and her sweet voice faltered a little—“l am not ashamed to tell you that I have always loved you, and that Hugh Morton is noth ing to me but a friend.” Was I dreaming? I took her in my arms and pressed a passionate kiss upon her lips. “Agnes, my darling, I can scarcely believe my own hanpiness! And you really love me and will be my wife?’’ The smiling ‘ ‘yes” had scarcely left hst lips when Hugh Morton stood before us. “Allow me to present to you my affianced wife/’ I said as coolly as I could speak. His face was ghastly in the moonlight, and a bitter smile curved his lips. Then he turned and walked away. This was two years ago. Agnes hits been my wife for eighteen months, and little Nora is now Hugh Morton’s promised bride. He seems very happy of her confiding love, and lam very sure that she knows nothing of the mistake which changed four lives so completely, and drowned me with a happiness that must last as long as life.

Resenting an Insult.

Robinson—Jackson, I hear that Brown called you a liar last night.” Jackson (bitterly)—Yes, he called me a liar. Robinson—And didn’t you resent it? Jackson (warmly)—Resent it? You bet I did! I told him that was simply a matter of opinion and not of fact. No man can calf me a liar and get away with it. An Ingenious Torturer. A teacher in Bristol who was recently forbidden by the school authorities to punish pupils by putting nicks an inchot two long between then- U uws and tying their hands behind them, r> said to have since then punished the unruly by sealing their moutns with court plaster, o casiou ally seasoned with cavsnn •» - oeen* • All persons having cattle to let in pasture for the season of 1889, will find it to their interest to address us at this place.

The iron is heated until sufficiently hot to vaporize the vinegar, and is then covered with some woolen fabric, which is moistened with vinegar, and the apparatus is applied at onoo to tlio painful spot. The application may be repeated two or three times a day. Dr. Ebrard states that, as a rale, ths pain disappears in twenty-four hours, and recovery ensues at once.

Died of a Fit.

Byron’s good sayings have been in all men’s mouths—in the mouths of some who have claimed them as their own. Many were admirable puns, others had a better claim to remembrance. The last time I met him—a long time ago— l sat next him at dinner. “So Pooled the tailor, is dead!” remarked our host. “Indeed! What did he die of?” “Of a fit,” said Byron, at once; •what else could a taller die of?” London Wo"ld.

Begin Aright.

A frowning face or unkind word may shroud a whole household in gloom the entire day, while cheery smiles, like brilliant sun rays, fill the atmosphere with glowing warmth and happiness, Let us cultivate the habit of goodhumor and sing with the poet: Dark clouds away and welcome day: .With night we banish sorrow. •wptafcjTlow soft; mount, tark, alefe To five thy love good-morrow
