SEPTEMBER 13, 1889.
THE 57th Regiment Indiana Volunteers held their reunion at New Castle, this week. About 100 were present.
THE Shelby Democrat, in trying to palliate the offense of Posz, their defaulting Democratic treasurer, says "he made four expensive races for office in Shelby county. Two in primaries, and two in elections. These cost him at least $5,000.'' Running for office in old Shelby is quite a luxury.

RAMBLER'S ROUNDS.
The editor having some business in the capital of Sugarcreek townahip, had me accompany him, to lend the occasion weight and dignity. As we sped along at almost a three-minute gait, what glimpses we could catch between showers, reminded us that this was a beautiful world, and that Sugarcreek was a fine township.
Arriving in town, everyting seemed to be moving smoothly. Eaton & Son, as obliging as ever, John O. Branson right at his post, and as zealous for the cause of the
REPUBLICAN
as any man in the coun
ty, constantly gathering new subscribers. The paper receives many favors at the hands of Mr. Branson, for which our editor is thankful. Miss Bennett, as his right bower, is a good one, and attends strictly to business. There is no complaint at New Palestine of inefficiency on the part of their postmaster.
Waltkie & Son were standing the pegs on end as rapidly as it can be done. Having booted every man in town, and begun again. Their card telling their customers to pay their shoemaker, enabling them to call their sole their own, is very appropriate: and I thought how appropriately this would apply to subscribers, and in addition to spiritual safety, save the disappointment to which our editor is subjected. By dreaming such a beautiful dream as the one he related to me, in the following poetic strain:
1 had a dream the other night, When every thing was still I dreamed that each subscriber came.
And paid his little bill.
Each wore a look of honesty, And smiles were around each eye, And as their stamps they each laid down,
Cried—"How's that for High?"
We cannot realize how great a disappointment this would be, without being placed in the same position, and if the people expect a real first-class paper again, they will have to cause this dream to be realized, by all coming up with the sheckles then, the mind can again get back into the proper channel, and you would receive tariff, moral and religious anecdotes, sentiment, humor, etc., and Dr. Cough's Bull Syrup adds would have to give way to something more charming to the eye—it might possibly equal Rambler's Rounds.
After spending two short hours in town talking to some of the brethren, inquiring into their and financial welfare, and adding many more solid men to our already large list, such as 'Squire Downing, O. S. Rodgers, Rev. Wittich, W. H. Parish, et al., we reluctantly left these good people promising ourselves to go again soon, and started the little black toward
CUMBERLAND.
As wc passed along, the constant exclamation was—"that corn will make 60 bushels per acre or this over here is as good." In fact, their corn is splendid, and they have made good progress in preparing for another crop of wheat, notwithstanding the dry weather they have had.
Arriving at Cumberland, the shop of Mr. Shepherd reminded us much of the one rendered immortal by the pen of the great poet. We even noticed some "chestnuts" but the tree was absent. Mr. Shepherd is always busy, and the loafer (chestnuts) has to stand out of the range of his fire, or get burnt.
Wending my way next day toward Mohawk, I heard some one call out a greeting. I immediately recognized my old friend, Harvey Wynn, aud this being the noon hour, he was hastily responding to the call of the bell, which meant a good meal and an hour's snooze, which accounted for his extra good humor.
Next, coming to a nice residence fully surrounded with every comfort, aud seeing Boone Dill resting easy, I knew this meant a rest for me also. Boone was in his usual good humor. I need not add that his wife was just as pleasaut, for she is a daughter of Mrs. Hinton, so well known in town. After sampling a few of each of Mr. Dill's numerous varietie of fine pears, then taking a peep at his stock and large barn, and his many fine labor-saving implements, all nicely cleaned and put away for future use, by which the remarks at the end of this scroll is suggested, and glancing at*his shining vehicles, of which 1 think he has one for each member of liis family, I climbed into the buggy with Mr. Bourne and went on.
I passed the farm owned by Mrs. Hinton. This is a beautiful farm, and if I owned it, oh, I'd be a farmer!
Next was Elmer Cant's farm. Elmer was there with several hands busy at work. He has moved his house up by the road, surrounded it by a neat fence. G. F. Suerium moved the house over 200 feet without disturbing even the clock that stood on the shelf. This speaks much for the gentleman as a house-mover. Elmer is remodling his barn also. In fact, he is tearing everything upside down,and when he gets through, it will be nice enough for anyone. Elmer believes in advancement and is one of our nicest young business men. His father, Eli Ii. Gant, lh'es on toward Mohawk, andisone of our oldest and most esteemed patrons Buckcreek is one of the best townships and shows a wonderful improvement in the last few years.
AtMt. Comfort, all was quiet, except the saw-mill and John Eastes' anvil, and they are never so. Mr. Eastes will build him a nice new house there right away. He likes the
REPUBLICAN
and notes with
pleasure its wide and increasing circulation. Mr. Dillman is still on the turf.
r.JLi
Has charge of the postoflice and he does a good business. Mr. Eastes is building a nice new huckster wagon for him. I stayed with Mr. Rose again. I believe the 'Squire and his family treat me too well, for their own welfare.
Coming east past Mints Bros., about noon, two gentlemen coming behind me, I looked back, when one of them motioned me to the right. Being born to obey, and not command, I obeyed the order, and found it was the very thing for me to have done at that time of day, as I got a good dinner, and enjoyed the remarks of their mother who is one of the most kind and intelligent of old ladies. Others have started as breeders of fine hogs, with big prospects, but these men by tenacity to business, honesty and fair dealing, have become favorable known the country over as being among the first- in their line. They start with their herd this week for the Warsaw fair, ana after that they will attend the State Fair.
I stopped at our old friend Kasper Herr's as I came along. I became acquainted with Eld. J. S. McCallum while there. He is one of our rising young preachers.
A. O. Steele, of Mohawk, is one of the best young men there, and a staunch Republican lie keeps a nice line of general merchandise and sells low. Miss Belle Radcliffe is the very efficient assistant in Mr. Wilson's store, and this fact accounts for Mr. Wilson having most of the nice young men's trade. Miss Belle is one of the nicest girls in that section and they know it.
Samuel Roney has Mercer and Indiana Chief in fine shape. They are good ones. Bedney Gail has a filly from Mercer that takes the red ribbon wherever showed. Our patron, Lewis A. Hawkins, has a fine general purpose stallion that is a daisy. Mr. Hawkins would sell him.
I learned up there of the serious illness ot Miss Neva Roney, daughter of Naaman Roney, also of the dangerous sickness of Geo. Roney. I hope they are much better at this writing.
On my way home I stopped again at Mr. Dill's to rest. In our general conversation we got onto the well-worn but ever new subject of temperance. The discussion waxed warm, and many fine things were said that deserves to appear in print. But the space is too narrow now. I think with the assistance of Mrs. Dill, we sue ceeded in getting the closing speech.
In my travels, my observations incline me to think, that the farmers let more tools rust out than they wear out. Also, the farmer that has his machinery in the dry, is the one who is occupied all the time. He keeps his fence corners clear of briars, and in their place the succulant grass grows. He is busy when it is too dry he is busy when it is too wet his stock receive proper attention and are profitable when everything is propitious for business, he is moving right along, and is so much ahead of his neighbor for having occupied all his time he raises lots of fruit, for his trees receive the care and attention due them while it is too wet, his vines bear gloriously, for they were cared for while it was too dry his fences are in good repair for he always sees to them in time when he wishes to attend a fair or picnic, he can do so, for he has a nice rig and good horses to haul him his family are cheerful, and his daughters are sought after by the best young men, and they are not ignorant by any means they can sing and play equal to the city girl, because they've been trained, and in addition to that, turn them loose in the kitchen, and they know their business, and know exactly what is required, so they are this much ahead of their average city cousin this farmer is happy, for he drives his work he knows just where to begin and just where to stop if he wants a tool he knows where to get it, and when through with it he puts it away he don't fall out with the dealer for selling him something worthless he lives to a good old age and dies happy, and a long list of friends follow him to his grave.

Protection and the Farmer.
The farmer is especially interested in the maintenance of a policy that encourages the growth of manufacturers in this country. His benefits from a protective tariff are two-fold. The number of those who consume farm products is increased without a corresponding increase in the number of farmers, Villages and cities make a profitable market for many products of the farm which could not be exported. Hence the greater the percentage of consumers engaged in some noncompeting business, such as mining, manufacturing, and the mechanic arts, the broader the farmer's market and the more that those thus employed can earn* the better customers they are certain to become. Any policy tending to make the calling of these workers less attractive, by reducing their earnings or adding to their hardships, will induce some of them to become tillers of the soil and compel all of them to observe increased economy in purchasing the necessaries of life.
The free-trade philosopher is accustomed to dismiss these facts with a wave of the same hand with which he points to his favorite refuge, "the markets of the world," ready to absorb the agricultural surplus of the country. The folly of such dependence becomes apparent when it is found that these convenient receptacles for that surplus of farm products, which the free-trader's policy would entail, are already quite well supplied. The people of Europe will take no more wheat, corn, meat, etc., than necessity compels them to buy, and of these they will buy from America only what they can get here upon better terms than elsewhere. Of farm products—except cotton and tobacco—but 8 per cent, now goes abroad, the home market consumes the remainder, and of this a large proportion could never be shipped a long distance from home, no matter how great the demand might be.
The preachers of free-trade, who, like the London Times, "cannot rest while the United States are unsubdued," have addressed themselves especially to voting farmers. Not long since tons of pamphlets written by a member of the Cobden Club, and printed in London, were scattered throughout the Western States. In these, our farmers were pictured as ground down by extortions made possible by a protective tariff, which they were urged to throw off and demand free-trade with the world as a panacea for all their ills. Upon the string thus attuned to British interests, free-trade advocates have since steadily harped—until the question of reserving our home markets for the benefit of the people by whose energy they have been built up, or handing them over as a free gift to foreigners, has become the foremost issue in a Presidential campaign. Should there be—can there be, any doubt as to the decision?— Compliments of the Home Market Club of Illinois.
Resolutions of Respect*
"We, the undersigned, as a committee appointed by the Western Grove Sabbathschool, to draft resolutions expressive of the feeling of this school upon the death of Ora T, Deer, beg leave to submit the following:
WHEREAS,
RAMHLKK.
State Fair Notes.
Tuesday—The attractions will be pony trotting and running races for the children, who will be admitted free, besides the regular races, and a grand floral display by professional exhibitors for $300 cash.
Wednesday—Lady horse-back riding by amateurs for cash prizes of $50 grand collection of cut flowers for $350 in premiums.
It has pleased our Divine
Father to remove by death, from among us, to that country from whence no traveler ever returns, our little friend and pupil therefore,
Resolved, That we as a Sabbathschool, will ever hold in loving remembrance the many noble and christian virtues of the deceased, which endeared him to those with whom he came in contact.
Resolved, That we, as individuals, may take heed by such an early call, and be prepared to go "For, in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of Man cometh."
Resolved. That to the grief-stricken father and mother, we extend our sympathy, and pray that they may realize, that the same hand that has power to bereave, has also power to comfort and bind up the broken-hearted. Further, that a copy of these resolutions be entered on the records of our Sabbath-school and published in each of the county paper.-.

COFFIJS,
The publishers of St. Nicholas announc that that popular children's magizine is to be enlarged, beginning with the new volume, which opens with November, 1889, and that anew and clearer type will be adopted. Four important serial stories by four well known American authors will be given during the coming year.
Mr. Frank R. Stockton has written a new and cheracteristic story called 'The Merry Chanter." It will begin in the November Century and run through four numbers. The story takes its name from a vessel which started from a Massachusetts port on a peculiar cruise. The owners, a young married couple, are on board, and the vessel is commanded and manned by four village captains of unusual experience. Mr. Dana Gibson will illustrate it. The November Century is also to contain anew story by Mark Twain.
During the coming volume The Century is to have an illustrated series of articles on the French Salons of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, including pen portraits of many of the leaders and a detailed account of the organization and composition of several historical salons. A great number of interesting portraits will be given with the series.

Cholera in Michigan.
Dr. F. D. Larke, of Rogers City, Michigan, says the epidemic of last year in Presque Isle County, in which so many persons lost their lives, was choleric dysentery instead of cholera as first reported. Jle used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and says it succeeded, where all other remedies failed. Not a case was lost in which it was used. This Remedy is the most reliable and most successful medicine known for colic, cholera morbus dysentery, diarrhoea and bloody flux. 25 aud 50 cent bottles for sale by V. IJ.
