"WAR OX AMERICAN FARMERS

WAGED BY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY "What the Chicago Platform Meant Orer ,000,000 Men to Be Deprlred of Work and ITagea for th Benefit, ot Monopolies. The republican platform adopted at Chicago declares that our imports must not only be cheefced but that they must be confined exclusively to that "which cannot be. produced (at any cost) in the United States. As this union extends to within one degree of Cancer, the republican platform proposes to bar out all producta exexcept those which can be produced exclusively in the tropics. It excludes everything produced in Europe. It excludes everything produced in Asia except in lower India and a small section of China. It excludes the greater portion of Australia and Lower Africa. From the Indies, a part of Mexico, the Brazils, the Desert of Sahara and the" Equatorial islands it pormits the importation of productions that cannot be raised here. It bars out manufactures of every kind, for we can manufacture anything, and leaves our ports open only to tropical fruits, nuts, barks.berries and gums.nThis proposal is put forward in all seriousness by a great political party. It fully intends to carry it out even to far greater lengths if it can. It has been preparing for this fight for twenty years, educating the people to believe in home markets, diversified industries and "protection" to American labor. OUR IMPORTS AND EXPORTS. Our net imports, exclusive of bullion and re-exported imports, together with our agricultural exports, since 1880 have been as follows:

S5,206,&82,634 14,662,361,979 For the first four years our agricultural surplus alone bought and paid for all our imports. Since 1880 our agriculture has been declining,, and the deficiency last year was $200,000,000 over 1881 ; but on the average for eight years past all the foreign goods received in this country, except Si.S,027.G64, have been in payment for surplus farm products. WHAT OUR IMPORTS ARE.

The others are of no account. IMPORTS PAY FOR EXPORTS. There are small shipments of gold and silver backward and forward from different countries, but accounts are settled by the exchange of drafts, in the same manner that banks use a clearing house. During the past seven years there has been the following coin and bullion movement in the foreign commerce of the United States, the same coin being used over and over again in settling accounts, and often being merely merchandise: Coin Exported.

As our production of gold and silver was SSi,10O,5OO in 18, this coin balance ehouM bo considered surplus product sold abroad. We can not sell our surplus for coin. There is none in the world to "pare, except silver dollars, of which we have more than we can use and are willing enough to sell. "What we buy abroad we must pay for with American products. What we sell abroad mubt be paid for in foreign products. Gold and silver, except as merchandise, can not enter into the question of barter beyond temporarily acting as a handy measure of value, the same as a bushel basket or yardStick as a size or length. All the coin in the world would not buy one year's imports and exports of Great Britain, nor two years' of the United States. NO IMPORTS, NO EXPORTS. The republican platform promises to reduce the payment for what we now export to $:iO,000,OGO yearly. This will limit our extorts to the same amount, reducing th in from $703,022,923 to about 80,000,000, if vA-c is admitted until Lower California UriiiH to jrrow it, and to $95,000,000 until t .. i. : plantations in the gulf states proi.uit largely. We cannot sell our surplus abroad except for foreign product, mainly manulattures. So nation has coin or bullion so epare to buv from us or any one. The mines of the United States are the chief producers of gold and silver, about $80,000,000 yearly, and if any nation could spare these measures of value we couid. The total coinage of the money of the

world, according to the report of the director of the mint, is as follows:

Silver. 127,360,000 5,000,000 64,000,000 4,000,000 4,000,000 4,863,000 425,844,.SöO 214,939,957 93,376,168 3,000,000 20,000,000 10,000,000 40,000,000 7,90,000 1,200,010 819,933 15.000,000 2,500,000 70,000,000 3,120,000 34,700,000 Austria $13,200,000 4.",)0,000 110,000,000 6,291 ,2H4 TUO.OM) 2r.0'Xi,000 32H.16S 4 52 618,619,u43 4,500,000 17,000,000 80,000,000 10,000,000 20,00il,000 10,000,000 62,05 70,000,000 108,000,000 130,000,000 1",000,000 60,000,000 Austialia..

If Colombia had paid for her $5,973,905 in coin, where would the coin have come from? Would Great Britain have sent us $363,161,143? Where would Canada have got the $33,495,403 with which to pay for what she bought? Any purchase in coin would bring on a monetary crisis in the country using it. Imports must pay for exports; exports must pay for imports. All commerce must in the end be barter. This is the iron-bound law of trade. The republican leaders know this. Their proposal to check imports and reduce them to what cannot be produced in this country means that they propose to cut down oür exports to less than $100,000,000. It is our exports against which war has been declared. Imports are merely our pay for exports. We cannot export it we cannot receive payment. If we cannot export we must stop making a surplus. WHO MAKE OUR EXPORTS. Last year 74 per cent, of our exports were agricultural products the surplus left above home consumption. In 1879 the total value of all azricultural products was L213,40'-5S4 $546,476.703 of which was exported and ? 1,656,923,861 kept to supply the home market. There were 8,670,493 persons engaged in making it 5,773,008 in supplying the home market, and 1,897,4S5 in supplying the surplus for export. Taking it as fair, proportionately, that the same amount of labor is required then as now to raise $1 worth of grain it takes a little more, as there has been a fall in price it required the labor of 1,815,534 farmers to produce the $523,073,79S surplus exported last year and exchanged for part of our impo'la. If the other products mines, forcsts.,petroleum and other industries were in the same proportion, and the difference one way or the other can only be very slight, then 2,437,927 persons were employed to make the whole surplus exported. To destroy our imports is to deprive every one of the 2,437,927 workmen of hi3 present employment. To "check" our imports is to deprive them of their employment in the exact ratio of the check. A "check" of 10 per cent means that 10 per cent of these workmen, or 243,792, shall be deprived of a living. A "check" of 40 per cent, means that 875.16S persons shall be discharged from work. A "check" of about 80 per cent. the least that the most liberal reading of the republican platform can assume means the discharge of 1,950,336 persons now engaged in profitable and unprotected employment. WHY SHOCLD OUR EXPORTS BE DESTROYED There are 2,437,927 of our bread-winners engaged in profitable bmployments, and the republican party in convention assembled solemnly "declares that they shall no longer be permitted to continue in their present labor; that their work must cease! Why? What motive or explanation can be given for such an absurd and preposterous demand? Go back tpths table showing the payment thev Vece'rve for their products. The republican platform admits all that are not manufartured and excludes all that are. Manufactures is the key to this extraordinary proposition. Last year our 2,437,927 bread-winners who made the surplus exported received payment for it mainly in manufactured foreign goods. This payment when received W the producers entered into direct and open competition with the American manufacturers of the same kind of goods. The total value of the foreign manufactured goods thus entering into competition was 412,279,077. A large part of the remaining $280,040,691 was partly manufactured sugar, for example. The doctrine laid ddvn by the republican party is that it is a crime for one American workman to enter into competition with another American workman, if he can beat him. The American workmen engaged in making here products that can be made cheaper in Europe are actins correctly and wisely when they enter into competition with these agricultural surplus-makers, because they cannot beat them and must have "protection" in order to live eav the republicans. The unprotected 2,437,927 American surplus-malcers can produce American grain and meat, send it to Europe, receive payment in European manufactured goods, pay a fine on them averaging 31 per cent, "and even then undersell at a profit the "protected" American manufacturer engaged in the protected American industries. This is wicked, the republican doctrine Bays, because "the longer and harder a män has to work for a dollar the better the man is off." OCR PROTECTED INDUSTRIES. In all the United States there .are, according to the highest official estimate, 905,5S5 "'protected" workers in about 14,500 protected mills, whose products enter into competition with foreign labor. Over SO per cent, aro in fifteen industries. Here is the list: Induttry. Xo. Wurirrs. Waget. Priurt.

Weekly wftgen, 66.5.;. THE REASON MADE PLAIN. It is to buiM up these "protected" industries that the republican party proposes to destroy imports and thus prevent tho 2,437,127 workers from receiving payment for their surplus. So long as the 2,437,927 Americans are permitted to produce a surplus, they can supply their countrymen with the foreign manufactured goods at profit and cut tin protected American mill-owner out of a part of his home market. So long as it is more profitable to produce an agricultural surplus and purchase with it the foreign manufactured goods to make the same goods here, so long tho mill-owners will have to pay high waes to keep their workmen from engaeingin the more profitable, industry. To destroy this surplus, by prohibiting payment for it, is to drive the - l,815,r34 small farmers and farm laborers off their farms, and the 022,393 other workmen out of their unprotected industries, compelling the 2,437,927 independent workmen to either enter tho protected indus tries or starve. They must exchange their prepent profitable industry for one less profitable. Thev must make here at a loss the goois they now get m exchange at a profit. They must work longer hours

to obtain the 6ame result, or earn less by the same labor, for they must surrender

the proht of the exchange. This influx of 2,437,927 discharged workman into the protected industries will break down the present "high" wages of $0.53 per week now paid the 905,585 protected woikmcn; but it will be enormously to the profit of the 14,500 "protected" employers, both in giving them absolute control of the home market and lower wages. THE HOME MARKET. The repulican party has gone mad over the idea of controlling "the home market." It does not believe in making a surplus of that which can be made cheaper here than anywhere else, and exchanging it for that which can be made somewhere else cheaper than it can be made here. It believes that & surplus is not only a crime, but that it is unpatriotic and un-American. It "protects" an industry until it can control the "home market," but it destroys it when it produces a surplus and begins to export. Tho protected sugar industry has for ten years past produced every pound of sugar'used in the United States, and for three vears past has had a yearly surplus of 200.000,000 pounds which it has exported. The republican senate now proposes a duty of 40 Ier cent, alike on the raw and the refined free trade to break it down and confine it to the home market. But all others are merely incidental to the agricultural surplus. The annual excess over home market needs of $600,000,000 made by our farmers is a standing menace to the 14,500 protected mill owners who own the republican party, and they have declared that this surplas must be destroyed ; that the payment for it shall no longer enter into competition with them. The republican tariff plank at Chicago was aimed at the farmer. The declaration of war is on the farmer. The 1,815,534 farmers, who last year made the surplus, exchanged for $412,279.077 worth of foreign manufactured goods must be driven olf the farms. This lesson is enough for one day. Ask the Republican shouter what he has to say in reply. T. E. Wiixsos. HIGH TARIFF AND THE FARMERS. How the Agricultural Interest is Plundered by the Spoliation System. To the Editor Sir". Inasmuch as the farmers are the most law-abiding element of our population, their interests should be of primary consideration in the politics of the country. As they are the last to complain, however, , they are likely to be the last served. They are the recognized ballast of the state a bulwark of protection against diacord and anarchy the chief social factor of morality, order and good government. In the construction of society and government, all other industries are necessarily subsidiary to that of farming; and should be to considered at each step of advance towards stronger and better institutions, m every commonwealth, v The farmers' success means the success ot all other persons, of whatsoever avocation, who like the farmera, get their 1 i vi ii sr by honest competitive labor. It will not be amiss, therefore, to take a glance at some of the more prominent efiects ol hich protection upon the agricultural industry. To the western farmer the only special argument adduced in favor of protection consists in a portrayal of the advantages of a home market, and the liberal protection on wool. It is not claimed that other material benefit to the fanner can issue from the protective tariff. The object of good government is to afford its industries, as well as its citizens, equal facilities and protection ''Protective tariff must discririuirme against one class of citizens to favor another class 'All cannot be benefited by tariff duty. Tto expense of protection is met at home and not rom any intrinsic source, or by any 6ther country than our own The emoluments that flow into the pockets of one class oleitizens from protection must therefore -fce paid from the earnings in other industral departments of the country. The manufacturing industries, in whose interest the protective tariff of this country was established many years ago are yet the faj ored class of this system. Under it, as the last census shows, the manufacturers of the United States yielded on the investments, exclusive of interest and all legitimate expense, about 00,000,000. The duties levied under the present system of revenue are said br Prof. Newcomb to afford protection to only 827,184 of the 17,392,099 persons engaged in gainful occupations in the United States; extending protection, therefore, to about 5 per cent of our industrial population; leaving 93 per cent unprotected ana subject to the demands of an unjust and unequal revenue system. Under the operation of high protection it is said upon the authority of Mr. Hurd, who challenges contradiction, that the farmers alone, of the United States, pay, in exorbitant prices, $600,000,000 annually. This entails a yearly tribute upon each farmer and farm laborer in the United States of about $78.16, and costs the farmers of Indiana 331,240 in number $24,836,720 every year. The 5 per cent of consumers protected by the tariff require only one-tweniieth (5 per cent) of the agricultural product of the United States. This 5 per cent of farm product answers the full demand of the home market. The home market is based strictly on London prices, where 30 per cent of our agricultural product is sold in competition with similar articles produced by labor, at six cents a day. Therefore the American farmer competes no less with the cheap labor of India, when he sells 5 per cent, of his produce in the borne market, than he does when he eells 30 per cent, in the markets of London. Thus the home market is almost jm'I in its demands on farm product, and quite so in its effect upon prices. Pratically it is profitless; theoretically, a mith, and the fanner who U induced to pay a tribute to support it will realize the delusion sooner or later. The total annual revenue to the government on wool is 5,3911,000. Admitting that the tarifl on wool adds a like amount to the price each year, which is by no means necessarily or commonly the case, the Indiana fanners would be benefitted to the amount of $152,800, or 52 cents per capita. Whereas, the aggregate cost of protection to the farmers of Indiana ii $21,83v20, or $78.16 per capita. The possible advantage arising from the protection on wool to the tanners of other states will vary according to the amount produced in each, but the average will not much exceed that of Indiana the United States over. The tariff on wool plus the home market may realize to the Indiana farmers 52 cents per head, or $1j2,&5U annually; but the protective system of tariff costs them $2 1,683,876, or $77.64 per head, more. The farmers are already taxed, directly, in many localities to the extent of one-third the gross earnings of their realty. Husbandry is further handicaped by this enormous indirect tax imposed that other industries, in which the fanner is but remotely ititercHted, may prosper imposed to protect industries w hi-h fchould now be equally as independent as that of farming. 1 led reus may be partially effected, at least, by curtailing the ex !t-pe incurred by the indirect tax. Certainly anyrea.sonuble solution of the question of onerous taxation should be earnestly and zealously sought by the patient, long sufiering fanners. The repone of purty feeling, together with an impartial consideration ol the subject, must conspire to bring about the desired relief. )euingogueieal arguments oflered to convince the farmers that the protective tariff was inaugurated for their benefit, and continues to M-ork in their interests should be of no avail. Our agricultural products must, and do. sell as cheap a.s the prices of such articles in the markets of the world. Our vast surplus makes this a necessity, and no amount of legislation can prevent it. Our farmers must buy at the same rates at which they sell, and buy in the same markets in which they are compelled to sell, or they will ever labor at ft disadvantage a disadvantage under which (except in cast of war or other unnatural event to make increased demand! their noble industry will cease to be profitable. The farmer must be allowed to buy as cheaply as they sell. L. N. Davis. Farmland, Ind., Aug. 1. They Don't Lot Knch Oollirr. Enquirer.

THE HERO OF WINCHESTER

PASSES QUIETLY AWAY AT NONQUITT Gen. Sheridan Suddenly Die at A Late Hour Last Mght His Old Heart Trouble the Cause How the vi was Keeelved. No'QriTT, Mass., Ang. 5. Gen. Sheridan's death occurred at 10:20 this evening. Previous to the sudden appearance of heart failure, at about 9:3), there had been no premonitions to-day of any unfavorable change in his condition. The weather has been warmer than usual and the general was at times a little restless but seemed generally bright and cheerful to-day. Iiis voice was strong; he took a full supply of nourishment, slept occasionally as usual, and the doctor and his family were in hopeful spirits. At 7 o'clock Mrs. Sheridan and the doctors went to the hotel for supper, ftnd soon after their return the usual preparations for the night were made. At about 8:20 Col. Sheridan said good night to his brother and went to the hotel, there having been through the day no signs whatever of any unfavorable change in his condition. At 9:30 symptoms of heart failure suddenly appeared and Drs.O'Eeilly and Matthews, who were with him at the time, immediately applied the remedies which proved successful in all similar previous attacks, but this time they were without effect, and despite all that could be done the general gradually sank into a condition of complete unconsciousness, and at 10:20 breathed his last. Mrs. Sheridan, the sisters Mabanaqd Jsutianian and the faithful boy servant were also at his bed"ide throughout his dying hour. No arransrements have yet been determined upon in regard to the time or place of burial. The following official bulletin was issued to the associated press at midnight: Gen. Sheridan died at 10:20 this evenin. The immediate cause of his death was heart failure. The remote cause was diease of the mitral ann a?rotrical valves, the existence of which was known to his physicians, to himself and to his family in November of last year. The complications which have occurred have been nervous exhaustion, pulmonary insurrections, pnemonia, pulmonary oaegria, anasaca and hemmorrhage. The last day of his life was somewhat restless, but not more so than he has been several times ßince his arrival at Nonquitt. At about 9 :30 symptoms of heart failure suddenly appeared. The remedies which had hitherto been successful were vigorously applied but proved ineffectual and he sank npidly, dying painlessly at the hour named. FvOBEKT M. O'Reiixt, Surgeon U. S. Army. "Washington Matthews, Assistant Surgeon, U. S. A. rhilip Henry Sheridan was born in Somerset, Perry county, Ohio, March 6, 1831. He graduated at West Point in 1853 and served in Texas in 1854-5 and on the Pacific slope until May, 1861. when he was made captain of the Thirteenth infantry, chief quartermaster and commissary of the army of Kvr,'iwest Missouri and subsequently quartermaster to Gen. Halleck in the Mississippi campaign of 1862. lie was made colonel of the Second Michigan volunteer cavalry May 25, 1862, and took part in the pursuit of the confederates from Corinth, May 30 to June 10, and in the engagement at Booneville July 1, when he was made brigadier general of volunteers. In command of the Eleventh division of the army of the Ohio he led the advance into Kentucky, and was in the battle of Ferry ville Oct. 8, and in the subsequent march to the relief of Nashville. Assigned to the army of the Cumberland his division was in the campaign of Tennessee from Nov., 1862, to Sept.. 1863, taking an active part in the battle of Murfreesboro, when he was made major-general of volunteers. lie captured a train and prisoners in March, 1863, at Lagleville; crossed the Cumberland mountains and Tennessee river in August; took part in the battle of Chickamauga September 19, 20 and in the operations about Chattanooga, including the battle of Missionary ridge November 23 to 25, and was subsequently engaged in East Tennessee till March, 1864. From April 4 to Aug. 3 he was in command of the cavalry corps of the army of the Totomae, and with his 10,000 men was actively employed in the operation of the Wilderness, and between it and Richmond in May, June and July. While mainly employed in reconnoitenng and in protecting the flank of the army, his corps made several vigorous raids, cutting off railway connections and capturing or destroying stores; was more than twenty times engaged with the Confederate cavalry, and took an important f art in the actions in and about Cold Harbor, lis famous ride and victory at Winchester The Reason Why Ayer's Fills are so popular is, that while always reliablo aj a cathartic medicine, they never leave any ill effects. This i3 because they are purely, vegetable, and entirely free from calomel or any other dangerous drug. In all cases, therefore, w hether tho patient be old or young, they may be confidently administered. In the Southern and "Western States, where derangements of the liver are so general, Ayer's Pills have proved an inestimable blessing. D. "W. Baine, New Berne, N. C, writes : " I suffered a long time with stomach and liver troubles. I tried various remedies, but received no lenerlt until 1 commenced taking Ayer's Pills. These ills benefited me at once. I took them regularly for a few months, and my health was completely restored." Throughout New England, next to lung diseases. Stomach and Ilowcl Complaints are the most prevalent. Dyspepsia and Constipation are almost universal. Mr. Gallacher, a practical chemist, of Hoxbury, Mass., who was long troubled with Dyspepsia, writes : "A friend induced uie to try Ayer's Tills, and, after taking one box without much benefit, I was disposed to quit them; but ho urged perseverance, and, before I had finished the second box, I began to experience relief. I continued taking them, at intervals, until I had used eleven boxes. Suffice it to say, .that I am now a well man, and grateful to your chemistry, which outstrips mine." The bead and stomach are always in sympathy ; bence the cause of niOHt of those distressing headaches, to which no many, especially women, are wibject. Mrs. Harriet A. Marble, of PoughkeepBie, N. Y.t writes that for years she was a martyr to headache, and never found anything to gl-e her more than temporary relief, until she began takirg Ayer's Pills, since which she has been In the enjoyment of perfect health.

After his defeat of Gen. Early he was made a brifTadiergeneral in the regular army and given the thanks of congress. He was made a major-general Nov. fl, 1864.

The Interment to be in the National CemeteryThe Pall-Ue.irers Named. Noxqcitt, Aug 6. It has, this afternoon, been decided that Gen. Sheridan's burial shall be in the Arlington national cemetery and Saturday has been finally settled on as tbe day for the funeral. Gen. Sheridan has repeatedlv expressed a strong dislike of display in funerals, and in accordance with his wishes and those ot Mrs. Sheridan, the ceremonies in Washington are to be as simple as possible. The funeral, however, will of course be a military one. Tho interment will be made atthe grounds of the Soldiers' Home in "Washington, if the assurance can be obtained that his wife and children may be given a resting place beside him. The following pall-bearers have been selected bv Gen. Sheridan's family: Gen. W.T.

Sheridan's staff are specially invited to attend the funeral : Gen. J.'W. Forsyth, Col. John Schuyler Crosby. - MORTON AT HOME. Why a Majority of His Neighbors Will Tote Against 111m. Rbinebeclc Cor. N. Y. Star. It would be natural to suppose that Rhinebeck would boil over with pride and enthusiasm because of the nomination of Levi P. Morton for the vice-presidency of the United States. It would be an honor to a town of 5,000 inhabitants to have one of its residents in so high and honorable a position. But there is a great lack of enthusiasm among the neighbors of Mr. Morton at his beautiful villa on the Hudson, and although the town has been carried by the republicans for a good many years odds are otlered by betting men that this year a majority of the voters of Rhinebeck will cast their ballots for democratic nominees, while many dyed-in-the-wool republicans who would uot vote the democratic ticket under any circumstances, will stay at home on election day, as they will not aid in the elibrt to elect Mr. Morton. It is not because Mr. Morton is rich or aristocratic that the people oppose him, for.althouch he is a millionaire, he mingles with the people of the village; and as he walks through the streets, as he often does, he will not pass an acquaintance without greeting him pleasantly. But, although his free greetings are returned, the people do noteem at all pleased with Mr. Morton. They say that, notwithstanding his riches and his pleasant greetings, he has treated the people of the place shabbily; that on his farm he pays less wages than any farmer in the vicinity; that he discharged all the old farm hands a year ago and tilled their places with pauper laborers whom he brought over from Lngland and Scotland under contract, and in violation of the law against the importation of contract labor, and that he even went so far as to threaten that he would employ Italian laborat $1 a day when the imported hands asked that their pay be increased from $1.25 to $1.50 a day. Checking Imports will Reduce Wages. Sew York World. What we export to sell for imports is made by our unprotected workmen. To stop imports is to stop payment to them for what they make and to throw these unprotected workmen out of work. We exported last year surplus products worth $716,402,869, made by our workmen in excess of our needs. We exchanged them abroad for foreign goods we did need and made $217,2S6.S93 clear profit that we know of and more that is not of record. Our workmen paid that fine to the government out of their profits. If these workmen had made the foreign goods here they would have lost this profit of ?217,28t),S93 and all the other profit. To have made $716,402,869 worth of foreign goods would have taken 30 per cent longer time, or 30 per cent more workmen. To have made the same amouut the same number of workmen would have had to work twelve hours instead of eight, or 33 per cent more workmen would have been employed at $2 instead of $3 per day. I'o check import ia to either throw these workmen Out of work or reduce their vages oru-third. lie Isn't Ballt That Way. Terre Haut Gazette. Frivate pension bills are introduced for the benefit of those who, under laws extremely liberal, cannot get pensions. These bill are not passed except for those who have powertul political influence. It would be an easy matter for a nresidyit, who wanted to gain votes, and who bad no scruples about being a demagogue, to quietly approve such bills even when investigation proved them to be fraudulent, lie would escape many enmities and much unfavorable criticism in this way. But Grover Cleveland, though a candidate for re-election, is no such coward. Ile continues to veto every special pension bill which he believes is unworthy. He believes that he best serves the interests of deserving soldiers by refusing pensions to the undeserving. Moreover, he believes that taxpayers have some rights. Hurrah for a courageous man! Hurrah for Cleveland! It Makr a liflr-nce. Washington Tost. It makes all the difference in the world whose ox is gored. Three years neo Col. Joseph llarbiero, an ex-confederate soldier, was appointed chief clerk of the Philadelphia pension agency, and his appointment was bitterly denounced by the republican press not only in the state, but throughout (lie country. How, however, the colonel has been writing a series of protective tariff articles, has renounced the democratic faith, come out boldly as a republican and will stump the 6tate for Harrison and Morton. The same papers that abused him when he was appointed to the pension agency now receive him with open arms and appear willing to apologize for the fact that he fought on the wrong side of the line during the war. (iarfleld'a Wnrnlng. peeeh of July 13, 1873. "Unless the tariff men take heed, unless they consent to a rational and considerate adjustment of the tariff, such as only can be made by the full light that a careful statistical study of the subject will bring, 1 fear from them, more than from any other scarce, a reaction which will bring us by and by into free trade and all its consequences of evil to the manufacturing interests of the country. I desire to say that in my judgment it is not the best mode of defending a tariff to denounce every man who does not pronounce the shibboleth after our fashion as an enemy of the tariff."

Because then the wash is largest, the worlTmost oppressive, and the articles to be washed most delicate. PEARLINE is as harmless as pure castile soap. It docs away with most of the rubbing hence it does away with those portions of the washing which ruin both your health and your clothes, and relieves this hardest of women's work of most of its drudgery. PEARLINE is the latest improvement in the way of soup, and, until something better is discovered, it behooves every woman who has to do with washing or cleaning, to supply herself or her servants with this wonderful cleanser, which, although yet in its infancy, is used by millions of families. c .9 gold everywhere Manufactured only by JAMES PYLE, New Yore.
