THE MILLS BILL—FREE TRADE.
It Is cvlilcnt Iruiii the events ol the past few weeks that the progress towards free trade In tho United States has been much greater than was generally expected. However much the manufacturing Interests may deny It. the fact Is patent thai great progress has been made on the road toward absolute rree trade, and particularly has this been the case since the date of the delivery or the president's message. Our Iron and steel maiiulurturcrs look with very much Interest on the movement which Is now going on "on the OIIIT side,*' Tor trade there so ultimately Influences our own.—| London Iron and Coal Trades Review, July'27.1HH8.
The tai'in bill In the United States has passed the house of representatives by llil to ll'J Jvotes. The bulk of the people are beginning to set their hacks up at paying thro' the nose for their Iron and steel and other commodities. As It stands now the stales are decidedly going lor free trade, and this will be the Democratic cry at the next election. 1 London Iron Trade Circular, July lis, 1KMM.
The president feels compelled to characterize the attempt lo brand htm as a free trader as deception, but for all that the electoral oonlllet now In progress is a conflict between free trade and protection and nothing else.—| London News. July (I, 1SHM.
It Is certain that the arguments which President Cleveland urges are those which Cobden used to employ forty live years igo. and which any English free trailer would employ now.—| London Times, July 1NNH.
The Mills bill puts on the free list articles which last year paid duties amounting to nearly $'20,00(1,00(1. It Is theretorelplaln that It declares for:
Free trade In lumber, which we produce to the value of $ 00,000,l*K) annually. Free trade In wool, of which we produce over :IIM,I»UKHI pounds annually.
Free trade in salt, of which we produce nearly 40.iKKl.iXMl bushels annually. Free.trade In Max, hemp, jute ami other filers.
Free trade In potash, lime and brick. Free trade In meats, game ami poultry. Free trade In vegetables, peas and iieans. Free trade In marble and stone. Frit' trade in at least one hundred other articles produced In this country, most or which would be produced In sutllclent quantities for home consumption If properly protected.
I believe In tree trade us I believe in the Protestant religion. (Jrover Cleveland. All trade should be as free as possible.—Speaker Carlisle. 1 desire free trade, and 1 will not help to perfect any law that stands in the way of tree trade.— Roger Q. Mills.
The Democratic party is a free trade party or it Is nothing. The Deuuvrat who Is not a free trader should go elsewhere.--Henry Watterson.
Add to the tree list as many articles as possible. Reduce duties upon every dutiable article to the lowest point possible.— Secretary Falrchlld.
It would be a glorious consummation of tills dehate could we only have gentlemen on the other side Join In this invocation to paper and lo tyie. and to the hearts of honest men, to clear the way for British Colxleu free trade.—S. S. Cox.
Sir. Cleveland stands before the country a champion of Iree trade. Mr. Mills' sieeeh Is a manly, vigorous, and most effective free trade speech.— Henry (ieorge.
It »e did not require money to defray the expenses of government 1 would lie an absolute and uncompromising tree leader.—Congressman Hare.
KiiRiish Interest in the Kosult, The electioneering campaign in America ought to Ite most interesting to the English people for historical, political, philosophical and economic rejusons. The main question at issue Is English free trade against the continental system or protection. The Republic Is on trial. Hood, conservative government, under Cleveland, is op

posed by the rule and ruin party of Blaine, whose
nominated Harrison, and who would cer
tainly
be the secretary of state under a Harrison administration. Thus the American people are directly Involved In the contest through their lockets, which will be affected by the tariff, and their future, which would be seriously influenced by the restoration to power of such a lire-brand as
with his home-rule sympathies and antlCanadian policy. The American electlou is Infinitely more important to Englishmen than their own IntermU politics Just at tills Juncture, and they should observe every phase of the campaign closely and understanding^. It Is from this
of view that the copious dispatches to the Sunday Times are cabled. The result of the American election will help to decide many important Issues In fireat Britaln.-[London Sunday Times, July 15,1888.
WHAT HASRIS0N THINKS.
"I think our worklngmen will wake up to the fact that reduction lti their wages, which every candid advocate of free trade or revenue reform admits must come with the adoption of his theories—a reduction variously estimated at from 10 to iffi per cent.—is poorly compensated by the cheap coat he is promised. This bull-ln-the-Chlna-shop sort of work that our Democratic friends want to make of the tariff will not do."
In an address made in Chicago in March of this year he said: "I am one of those uninstructed political economists that have an impression that some things may be too cheap that lean not find myself in full sympathy with tills demand for cheaper coats, which seem to me necessarily to Involve a cheaper man and woman under the coat. I believe it Is true to-day. that we have many things In this country that are too cheap, because whenever It is proved that the man or woman who produces any article cannot get a decent living out of It, then it is too cheap."
"I would rather be William O'Brien In Tuilamorejail, a martyr of free speech, th in the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in Dublin Castle. "I General Harrison, in 1877, at the Esmonde and O'Connor reception. Indianapolis.
The honest confession of Henry Watterson in the Forum is good for his soul if not for his party: "I should lie entitled to no respect or credit If I pretended that there is either a fair vote or count of the vast overflow of black voters In states where there is a negro majority, or that, in the nature of tilings at present, there can be. There was not when the ballot-box was guarded by federal bayonets. There Is not now."
While they are Baying that General Harrison is an aristocrat and that personally he is not in sympathy with the toilers of the country, these same toilers are calling on him to give evidence of their hearty good will. The miners who met in Indianapolis Thursday followed the example of the railroad men, and the men of all pursuits in life, in calling on the next president.
The Indianapolis Journal of yesterday very truthfully says: The speech or Secretary Vilas at Milwaukee was almost as disgraceful In tone as the one made by Senator Voorhees at Terre Haute. The latter not a Democratic paper In the country lias ever referred to, and It will not be long until every decent Democrat will lie equally ashamed of the vituperative harangue of the Wisconsin member of the cabinet, who was the author of the cowardly system of character assassination in the postolllce department.
One of the transparencies carried by a club of workingmen in the parade at Indianapolis Thursday night read: "Chandler is not an orator lie's an ironworker." Chandler is the Republican candidate for congressman against IJynum wrtio is a man, that while posing as the workingman's friend is in fact but a jawsmith. In the contest between these two men you have the whole story. One knows what work will accomplish when the workman is encouraged by the wise protective tariff laws. The other is full of theory, sound and—nothing.
The misuse of an "old Roman" by the Democratic party is an incident of the campaign that for cruelty surpasses all records. Judge Thurman has been an able man and ten or twelve years ago undoubtedly was the greatest living Democrat. He was called into use this year sole because of his name, not at all as a contingency for t'.o presidential ollico and the Democracy undertaking to parade him through the country are daily running the risk of committing murder. The New York sensation is merely a warning. If it is not heeded the party that is so cruel to humanity may look for an even more serious event.

STRAY INFORMATION.
The law requires evidence in a liquor case to be explicit in order that there may be a conviction, there are many loopholes through which defendants can avoid conviction. It is necessary to prove who sold the drinks, what was drank and who paid for them, besides other minute details of the violation of the law. There was novel testimony to be introduced in a recent whisky case. The charge was for selling to minors, and the prosecuting witness was about 18 or 19 years of age. He was positive in his statement of the various timeB he had bought intoxicating liquors at the saloon of the defendant. But as a mitigating circumstance it was expected to be shown that the youth had each time worn a false mustache in order to secure the drinks. With the mustache one wou'd not suspect his minority. The interesting case was Bet for trial this week, but did not take place owing to the boy's absence from the city. When liquor cases are allowed to be carried over from one term to the next it makes the possibility of a conviction that much less.
A good story is told on Dr. Haworth and Elijah Brookshire. The connty candidates had been accompanying Elijah to his meetings in this county, and each of them made a short talk at the conclusion of Brookshire's speech. Several of them had engagements in the city one night and informed Brookshire that they could not attend his meeting. Coronor Haworth, however, was free from any engagement. Turning to him Brookshire said, at the same time slapping the doctor on the shoulder: "Doc, I suppose we will have to go out and discuss the dead and stinking issues of the campaign to-night."
The .coroner was not to be outdone by any slam at the dignity of his ollice. He replied quickly, returning Brookshire's familiar slap on the shoulder: "Dennis, I'm with you."
The work done by the Terre Haute house company thus far can not be seen from the exterior. However, a great deal has been accomplished. The kitchen has been completed and is first class in every particular. The basement has been thoroughly overhauled and will be used asjsleeping apartments for the help, besides several large storage rooms. The small dining room has been completed and the furniture ordered. It is finished in birch and handsomely decorated. The main dining room will not bo ready for occupancy for some weeks to come. Work is now being done in the ollice. The elevator has been put in and will be in operation in a day or two.
There has been much complaint of the Democratic mail service in various sections of the country, and the press has ventilated many instances of inefliciency of the service. Complaints in this city have been heard quite often. Muny short delayB in mail have occurred and and nothing has been heard. Occasionally, however, there are extreme cases which are talked of and reach the press. Last evening Mr. W. A. Cox, the Main street shoe dealer, received a letter from Indianapolis. It was posted in that city on the 27th of last month, and only reached Mr. Cox last evening. It was addressed properly, the street and number being given.
PHETTY WOOD CARVERS.
Five Minnesota Young Women Help Their Father at His Trade. Out near the shore of Lake Minnetonka Peter Winnen carries on a farm, says the Pioneer Press. But he isn't altogether a farmer, being quite as much a wood carver. Peter has been particularly fortunate in his domestic affairs, and has nine daughters to aid and cheer liitu in life's decline. Seven of them are unmarried and live at homo, and five of them are likewise wood carvers. Peter raises all sorts of garden truck, and the thrifty maidens of his household help him take care of it. He is a natural wood carver, having inherited the talent. His father was a line cabinetmaker. When a boy he took to wood carving, and has given up his iirst love. For a good many years he was in the business, but finally, at his father's death, went back on the farm. There got to be a good deal of machine woodcarving, and some of it so handsome that it tool? the profit oil" the hand work. But now there has been a revulsion of popular taste, and hand work is all the rage. And so Peter Winnen again takes courage. There are all those useful daughters to help him, and he proposes hereafter to devote his attention to art. He turns off work with great rapidity—that is some work. .1 fe exhibited to a reporter a miniature book the size of a fly, on which he had put as much time as on the head of a deer carved full size. He is most pleased with the patronage that will allow him to devote the time and care demanded by fine art. Mr. Winnen's figures are very life-like. He will have a pavilion in the exposition this fall, the walls of which are constructed of carved granite. It is quite a unique structure. It will be crowded with the work of Mr? Winnen and his daughters. By the way, the daughters are very pleasant appearing young women, and any day one or more of them may be seen working away industriously on the artistic structure or some of its ornaments.
It seems by this that the school of wood-carving of tho State University will not have the lield entirely to itself. There has been a great deal of attention paid to wood-carving of late, and some of the specimend of this delightful art will be seen in the woman's department at the next exposition.
Hvrutlng Gould's Charges.
Ed Gould's principal stock in trade as a Democratic politician and stump speaker, is retailing the slanderous statement that General Harrison said that one dollar was good enough for any workingnmn at least, he has been instrumental in circulating this and kindred misstatements against the general. There are few who have credited even Gould with believing this, and now comes John Iv. Robinson, with an aflidavit to the effect that on the th of August Gould said in the presence of himself and others, "that a man with a particle of brains would not accuse General Harrison of making such a statement as that, 'a dollar a day was good enough wages for any workingman,' and that he (Gould) did not believe that Harrison ever said it, because a man would be a fool who would make such a statement, and General Harrison was not a fool." Mr. Robinson's affidavits is backed by similar

affidavit from Albert Hoffman, John A. Coulter, Silas H. Brattain, John R. Bellis and David E. Williams, all of whom were present at the time Gould made this statement to Robinson, and who affirm that Robinson is correct in reporting his admission. This should be sufficient to set this lie against Harrison forever at a rest in fact, very little of it has been heard since it was understood that Gould was standing as one c|f the godfathers to it.—[Indianapolis News.
MORE THAN' A STRAW.
The 1'eciilhir Significance In the Arkansas KIccMon. The following is from the Chicago Inter Ocean:
In 1881 the Democratic plurality in the stute of Arkansas was 40,330 in 1880 it was 30,580 in the election just held it is estimated to be 15,000, after ail the methods of "counting" and suppression known to the Bourbons of that state have been applied for its unlawful increase. For a time it was believed at Democratic headquarters that the state was lost to the brigadiers lately in command. It is not the Republican party, though it is the leaven of Republican principle, that has been reducing Democratic majorities in Arkansas, and that threatens to annihilate them. "The Wheel" is a secret society operating in some of the Southern states, much as the grangers once operated in the Middle states \u Arkansas its demands are: 1. Consolidation of the national and state elections, and rigid and severe laws for the protection of the purity of the ballot-box. 2. Protection to farm products. 3. State improvement by taxation. "The Wheel," being a secret society, decided to make no political nominations, but it addressed the Democratic convention of the state of Arkansas, requesting it to embody the demands enumerated in its platform. The convention politely refused to do so. The convention of the United Labor party did do so, and "The Wheel" supported the ticket and platform of that party with the eflect already noted.
Wherever organizations of farmers or laborers have formed, they have expressed themselves with great clearness upon the issues of purity in elections and protection to home industries. It has been thus in Iowa, Illinois, Tennessee, Missouri and Arkansas. The resistance of the Southern brigadiers to the demand for consolidation of state and notional elections is explained easily. They wish to keep state elections out of federal supervision they desire fraud and force to go unchecked. The desire of the farmers and laborers is very different they desire a full and free vote and a fair count. The indus trial forces cannot operate with freedom in the presence of electoral fraud. The plain,- common people, the citizens who work for a living, are desirouB of protection to home industries, and such increased demand for labor and of the food which labor requires as public improvements beget. The monopolists, whether they be the planters of the southern teir, with Roger Q. Mills at their head, or the coal barons of the north, with Scott, of Erie, at their head, and in favor of legislation that makes labor cheap, and the farm products which feed it cheaper.
THE "ARIZONA KICKER
It Kcuchcrt a Phenomenal Circulation and Attacks Some Old KnemlcH. The lop-eared monstrosity who claims to edit the Prairie Star has been so jealous of the phenomenal success of the Kicker that he" hasn't enjoyed his whisky for the last three months. In his last issue he claims that our circulation does not reach 150, and that we are carrying sixteen columns of dead ads. We hereby publish our affidavit that our circulation is 153 copies weekly, and constantly growing, and as for dead ads, that's our business. We have discovered that the people of this town can extract more comfort out of an ad than from a two-column sketch by Trollope, and it is our business to please the masses.
A reminder—Our birthday occurs next week, Friday—that being our thirty-fifth—and any little reminder sent in by the public will be warmly appreciated. We stand in need of shirts, socks, neckties, collars, etc., and it has been suggested that the ladies organize and contribute to a generous outfit.
Some of our friends declare that, in view of what the kicker has done for this locality, a purse of $1.0 should be presented to us by the men. We Bhould be thankful, of course, and more thnnk.ful if it was made 850. An editor should be modest, however, and we simply throw out these suggestions without any thought of being personal.
P. S.—We wear a No. 15 collar and the shirts should be .full in the back. More wind—Professor Rose, who hit this town last spring to get up a class in music, and who has been here on his uppers ever since, doesn't like our way of dealing with him. Because we suggested last week that he quit dead-beat-ing and pick up the pick or shovel he is around town calling us a fugitive from justice, and asking why the police don't do something.
Gently, professor, when we left Xenia, Ohio, the sherifV patted us on the back and lent us half a dollar. We are the only man in this town who doesn't turn pale when the stage comes in, and the only one who doesn't break for the sage brush when it is announced that the United States marshal is here. We ain't rich or pretty, but we are good, and the professor is barking up the wrong tree. We don't bear him any ill will, but the professor must retract his statements about us or we'll drop a line to Pinkerton asking if Yaller Jim, alias Professor Rose isn't wanted somewhere.—[Detroit Free Press.

MOSQUITO PHILOSOPHY.
Reasons for Sleeping With the Legs Uncovered Instead of tbe HeaJ. There are gentle creatures, optimists all, of the most aggravating type, who carry their goodness of heart to such an obnoxious degree that they make excuses for the mosquito, and profess to believe not only that he serves some good purpose, but that his crimes are not altogether villainous, and that he is to b^ excused for even his most heinous offenses. They Bay it is his nature to be a curse and that he cannot help it, just as if that were any excuse.
Nobody,however,is to be blamed for trying to avoid the infliction of the proximity of mosquitoes, and numberless ways of doing this are recommended by those who haven't tried them. Oil of penny royal is claimed by numerous theorists to be a sovereign banisher, and some of the theorists actually believe that it would keep the winged pests away if they should try it. It is noticeable that nobody repeats this theory after having given it a practical trial.
It is believed that a solid cage or box of boiler iron, firmly riveted together, and anchored to a cement foundation fifteen feet underground, would be effectual in keeping mosquitos outside of the space inclosed, but as this has not been practically tried it is more than likely that the pestiferous little demons would find some way of getting inside the box if there were anybody there to bite.
One grand truth has been discovered, however, by aNew York Mail and Express reporter, while spending a few weeks in New Jersey, which he deems too important to the human race to conceal. It is not covered by patent. Any body can avail himself of it. It is this: The mosquito is more foud of the human leg than he is of the human head, neck or arms. herefore, it is quite practical to preserve the upper portion of the body free from bites, or at least comparatively free, and escape the awful buzz of the little fiend's songs, by going barelegged. This is not a practice which is commended for use in the daytinle, when one is engaged in ordinary avocations, but it is easy and comfortableexcepting for the legs—in the privacy of one's own chamber and in the still hours of the night. Draw the bed clothes up high, and, though you may be crippled, and probably will, yet you will preserve your facial beauty and your reason.
No one can explain why this is so, of course. If the mosquito were amenable to the laws of reason, and understandable by a mere human mind, he would not be a mosquito.
Cowardly Revenge.
One night last week some person or persons entered the stable of John Scruggs, near Blairsville, Union county, and killed a yoke of oxen and cut down a patch of tobacco near the stable. The same night Henry Ross, a neighbor of Scruggs', lost a steer and three hogs by their throats being cut, presumably by the same parties. Scruggs and Ross had been charged with being revenue informers and it is supposed for this reason their property was destroyed. The Blue Ridge Post says: "They are both good citizens and the sympathies of the best people of Union county are with them. They and their friends deny that they had anything to do with informing upon the violators of the internal revenue laws."—[Atlanta Constitution.
