From the days of Adam to the - present hour no man has ever seen the time when the proceeds of a . week's labor would buy as much as now. Less than two years ago the farmer was told by the free-trader : that his products would not only decrease Hn value on account of the [. McKinley bill, but would be a drug i on the market, as England would not buy of us on account of the unjust duties placed upon their manufactured goods. They told the laborers that their wages would shrink by reason of our depressed markets, while their- clothing and many necessities of life would reach a price that they would be unable to meet, thus ■virtually making them a class of beggars and tramps. Have these predictions been verified? No. The farmer will Tell you he has made more money during the last year than during the preceding three. The laborer will tell you that, while there has beenan increased demand for his services, he has been enabled to obtain an increase of from 10 to 30 per cent in wages, and has purchased clothing and other necessaries of life at a reduction of from 10 to 20 per cent, from the price paid for such articles during the years referred To. Now, we do not condemn these men and say they knowingly lied and misled you two years ago, but now, .from your own knowledge and experience, you must admit that they either wantonly, or trough ignorance, deceived you. Two years ago their great hobby was free -coinage, tin, clothing and everything that home manufacturers could produce. Twenty-eight States resolved for and elected congressmen on free-coinage platforms only to go to the national capitol and violate their pledges when that proposition came up for consideration by voting' against the measure. Our own (?) George W.. Cooper, had he been There and not engaged in the pension business, perhaps would have voted for free coinage-; but he was attending court in this county, earning, it is said, a 11,000 attorney-fee. Again, they told you that one of their first acts would bo the formulation and presentation of a bill to repeal the hateful McKinley law. Have they kept their -promise? We submit it to you for an answer. However, they did unanimously vote to remove the only vestige of protection by .which the Northern farmer is enabled to keep .eheep. As is indicated by their votes, if they had the power they would, with one stroke, wipe the industries that have made -our country prosperous and happy from the face cf the earth. As intelligent men, whose acts should be unbiased by politicalprejudices, -we ask you to study the. question of free and protected labor. Adobe ‘Hmines.

POET RILEY’S FIRST LECTURE. Compelled to Print Ills Own Posters and to Admit the Audience Free. “James Whitcomb Riley never will forget his < first experience as a platform lecturer,” remarked an old Iloosiorat the Grand Pacific the other day. “It was a good many years ago. Jimmy was eking out an existence as a painter at that time, and when times were drill and he was out of a job he spent his leisure moments in stringing together verses. Some of these were so good, in his own estimation at least, that he sometimes recited them at little gatherings about the neighborhood. “But, unknown even to his friends, the embryo poet had rather lofty aspirations and burned to launch out as a jrablic entertainer. So he began quietly casting for an eligible opportunity to ‘try it on the dog.’ “He was poor then—poor is no name for it. In fact, ire was generally in debt, and though he worked hard never seemed to have any money or a fair prospect of getting any. It will readily be seen that.it was not an easy matter for Riley to realize his hopes under snch circumstances. At last, however, he raised a little money on a job of painting and with it invaded a neighboring hamlet, where his fame had not preceded him. “After considerable red tape he secured the privilege of using the school house for his entertainment. In fact, the school house was the only available .place in the village for snch a gathering. Then he hung up a lot of posters announcing that James Whitcomb Riley, the Hoosier poet, would give one of his unique and inimitable entertainments at the Hamtown school house on the following Saturday night. These posters .were blank paper, decorated with charcoal instead of printers’ ink, and Riley spent one whole day in printing them. “At the last moment, however, a perfect deluge of cold water was thrown over the young poet’s aspirations by,an unexpected announcement from the Hamtown school board. On -the afternoon of the eventful day the president of the board waited on Riley, who was nervously pacing hia room at :the little excuse for a hotel, and informed him that by an agreement entered into when the school building was erected no entertainments were to be given in it unless they were of a public character. “ ‘But mine is to be a public .entertainment,’ insisted Mr. Riley. ‘“Oh, do, it isn’t,’ asserted 'the town dignitary. ‘You are going to charge au admission fee. That doesn't look like a public affair—does it? “‘It isn't a free entertainment, to be sure; Rut it is certainly to be public,’ ■maintained the-poet. “ ‘Not as we understand the term,’ said the official. ‘In short, the only way yon can go on with the -show is to •■throw the doors open.’ “Here was a pretty state of affairs, but the question must-be settled at once, and Riley promptly accepted the horn of the dilemma nearest him, and said ■that the entertainment -should bo given at.all hazards and that no admission fee ■would be charged.”—Chicago ’Jail. Tlvo .Monk&y Puzzle Tree, At a meeting of the Royal Botanic eociety Dr. R. C. A. Prior presented ripe seeds of .Araucaria imbricate,, the monkey puzzle tree'of Chili, collected from a 'large tree .growing in the open -air -at ■Corsham, Wilts.

Steam power is being gradually introduced into the sugar mills, bat the island of Barbados is still well studded with-windmills, which pleasingly diversify the monotonous asjiect of the overcultivated country. Indeed, with so constant a power as the trade wind, .most of the work of this favored land can be performed almost free of cost. If you need water you have only to sink a well and erect a windmill over it, which will keep your reservoirs full. The coral rock is so,-porous that there is no such thing as a .river in the whole ■island. The whole rainfall sinks .through the soil to 'form underground streams, which discharge their copious Hoods below the surface of the sea.
