MoKinley tariffs obstruct freedom of trade, and thus indirectly is one cause for the reduce I pi ice of our agricultural products. “ Republicans are alieady beginning to scent viotory from afar.’—Lebanon Patriot. > Yes, but the Democrats sent it so far that it will never return to perch upon republican banners again. The republican organs attribute the low price of wheat to the assumption of power by tue Democratic administration.— That has nothing to do with it, but the financial demoralization of the country by republican legislation may be properly and c orrectly blamed with it. It is said that Charley Landis, of the Delphi, who aspires to the next Republican nomination for Congress, insists that the consumer does not pay the McKinley tariff lax. Charley is a very cleveryoung man, but the people of the Tenth District do not desire the honor of a nomination to go to any such brilliant damphool. The following item was recently copied by the republican a, a “clincher” for its readers : The price of wheat is lower than it has been for a quarter of a century, and yet many farmers throughout the country still persist in voting with the party of free trade to make it still lower.—Plainfield Progress. Of course the Republican regards the above as an unanswerable point made againßt the Democratic party. It assumes, too, that the tariff regulates the price of wheat. Well, let us see. We note in our published market reports in 1856, wheat quoted at $1 15; in 1858, $ 1 25. This under the lowest tariff ever enacted. To-day, with the highest tariff known in the history of our povernment "wheat is lower than it has been for a quarter of a century,” says the Progress, backed by the Republican. Now if the tariff regulates the price of wheat, as intimated by these organs, but which they do not believe, then the farmer should favor a tariff for revenue only.

“Crisp knows as well as anybody that up to last November the wheels and spindles in coantless industries were bumming all over the Union. Factories and mills were running night and day, wages were high and general orosperity reigned. Tliis was under the very same laws now in force.” Delphi J ournal. And Charlie Landis “knows as well as anybody that np to last November wheels and spindles in coantless industries were” ceasing their “humming all over the Union” the same as now; that “strikes” were the order of the day; the Carnegie jubilee was on; irusts andflcombinations formed to lessen production and keop prices up to ‘protection’ rates. And this was under the very same lawa no v inforce. Speaker Crisp at Tanmany Hall July 4 uttered tie truth when he said: If there are thousands of unemployed workmen in our land, if the agricultnrai interests languish, if the trade and commerce are restricted, if there is lack of confidence in financial circles so far as human laws are concerned you oan charge ittoihe Republican party. There are fAws cu our statute books to-dav which are in restriction of trade. They’are Republican laws. Tfiey are laws which destroyed t e people s confidence and upset the fin noes. They are Republican laws.

Horses, when asleep always have one ! ear pointed to the front. Exactly why, ! n ? human being can tell, but the , roba- i bility is that the practice is a relic of the time when they were wild and obliged to be on thoil guard, even when asleep.— Whether or not this is the case, the fact is certain that while cattle are apparently indifferent | as to the position of their ears when Bleeping, and no matter how these appendages may b. placed both are pointed alike, horses always point one ear forward.—St. Lenis Globe-Democrat. In a Chinese school in Oregon the contribution plate was passed to a young convert, who looked at the plate and inquired, ““Whaf so?" “For the Lord,” said his teacher. On the following Sunday the plate again stopped in front of him. “Whuf fo?”he askodagnia, and once more he was told that the money was for the Lord, Thereupon a look of perplexity came over his face which found ex ression in the inquiry: “Lord all time bloke?” An exciting and remarkable scene occurred yesterday at Barnsley, where Day’s menagerie is being exhibited. Their manager states that about 4 o’clock Bartlett, the keeper, accidentally left the door of » cage containing youit > lions unfast, ened. Bartlett was afterwards surprised to see od6 of the lio s loose. Happily none of the public were in the show at the time. The keeper immediately armed himself and sent 'for aid. Blank cartridges were fired to keep the lion at bay. Luckily, it came within the reach of a powerful elephant, who seized it with his trunk and, placing a foot on the animal, held it down. The lion was then secured by ropes and dragged into the cage. No Clara—Why are yon so bitter against him just because he proposed and you refuse nim? Maude—The wretch!
