J. H. Hardebeck has aol<l his paper, the Fowler Nutshell, to Leffew & Wallace, after publishing it 22 weeks. The new proprietors in their salutatory, of about six lines, give no hint of auy future intentions in regard to politics. Heretofore the Nutshell has beau entirely neutral in that respect. This county furnishes a speci-. men of President Cleveland’s much boasted of friendship for the veterans of the late war. Mr. D. W. Hastings, postmaster at Mooresba ugh, although a republican and ex-soldier, who is now sixty-five years of age, is still postmaster of that place and is likely to be until he will no longer serve. This is but one of the many of Cleveland’s great, big-hearted, whole-smiled tokens of regard for the soldiers. The office is not worth more than .£2O a year and nobody else. .will, take it. When we consider the thousands of such post-offices, in which changes are impossible, a great many of which are held by ex-soldiers, we weepat Cleveland's gratitude and respect. Winamac Republican. The Indiana Christian Advocate makes the following dignified but severe reply to the reviling of a prominent and blatant organ of political prohibitionists. An editor always measures the mental and moral character of his readers and writers to please them, hence when writing for saloon bummers he selects some Christian whom they have reason to -- despise and calls him rogue, liar, hypocrite, stupid, corrupt, scoundrel, abominable, dirty, a disgrace to the church, disreputable, and -the like.—He knows-how to pleasehis patrons. An editor who writes for reputable families, about re-’ putable Christian gentlemen, treats ■ theip with common decency, even j though he may not agree with them' in politics, hence it is -noC to take the editor’s measure of the' - moral tone of his readers, and de-' -cent people must feel humiliated! when the paper comes into their : families which was-evidenfly gotten •out for the slums. !

JUDGE GRESHAM.

Here are some points in Judge - Gresham’s favor, as summed up: by a distinguished citizen of Chicago, in the Inter. Ocean: Please permit me to suggest a few reasons why Walter Q..Gresh-i am is essentially the people's can -! didate for President: 1. He is an honest, consistent Republican, and believes in theprinciples of the part}’ which voted as he fought. y 2. He was a brave soldier, and I almost surrendered his life for the’ Union, as his game leg testifies. 3. He is an honest and upright judge. 4. He is a man of pronounced ability. 5. He was a splendid executive officer, as was shown by his official record in two Cabinet positions. 6. He is essentially a man of the people—was not born with a gold spoon in his mouth, nor has he had one since, though he has held high official positions. 7. Lake Lincoln, he comes from ... the people. 8. By his intellectuality, bis

integrity, his patriotism, his industry, he has been the architect of his own fortune. 9 He has never sought office. 10. Asa judge he has never been afraid to call a railway magI nate to account 11. The discordant elements in New York and elsewhere can honestly unite on him. 12. He bails from a doubtful state, in which he was born, and which he can carry without question. ■ i 13. If the Mugwumps don’t like l him, they won’t like anybody.i l i. The great West demand? a candidate. 15. He has no political enemies. It is important that all Repub- ; licans can unite on some such

man.

PRICE. NOT COST.

The only, advantage which free traders claim would accrue to farmI ers by the abolition of Xhe taiifi isthat it would cheapen the cost of ■ production by cheapening the cost of living. If this were true,, it would be of very little impeltance under any circumstances. The £B- - ifring with al l -producers i s not cost of production, but demand for products and the price they sell at. Now, price depends upon demand and the extent of competition—~in other words, the extent of the supply. If there is more to sell than is wanted, or more sellers than buyers, no matter what the cost of production is, competition will i educe the selling price so that there will be no profit.. The essential thing, therefore, is to secure and maintain an active market and prevent excessive competition. Experience proves the truth of this position. The cost of producing corn of whe&P' does not vary very much from year to year; but the selling price does very largely, And if you ask why the prices were high last year and are low this year, you. will at once hear that there is an over supply, or, what is in effect the same thing, a diminished demand. It is never said, as a reason for low prices, that it costs move, or less, this year or last year. It iff, then, perfectly evident that any such increase of cost, such as possibly may arise from the increased cost of protected articles used by farmers, is of very little importance as compared with the price at which they can sell their products and the conditions which fix that price—themaiket, the demand and supply, and competition between producers. 'Suppose the protected industries, so called, which now employ the" majority of the people not engaged in farming, to be curtailed or destroyed, and. those, employed in them, and in the industries which depend on them, were forced on to the land: it is manifest that an important part of the market for farm products would be cut and that a large supply and increased competition of farm products would at once lie developed; that prices would fall; that farmers would have to sell to-farmers, and very poor farmers; that profits would cease; that farmers would then have to produce cheaper by living cheaper; that the question then would be, not how much lower they could buy the products of our protected industries, but what they.could go without and livel Protection gives the market,, removes competition between farmers, increases prices of farm products, makes farming profitably, enables, farmers to biiyjwhat Jhey would otherwise go without, even if now and then they have to pay more than they would if they were so poor they could not buy at all. The same principle applies to all the unprotected industries, so called by the free traders—those industries which the Protectionists truly call the absolutely protected industries—which are protected by nature and circumstances, such as the labor of the mason, carpenter, railroad occupations, Western farm service, domestic service, and woi kers for wages of all descriptions, in pursuits which cannot be competedwith by the importation of the products of cheaper labor in other countries. All these industries in this country’ now enjoys stablg rates of wages, which are, on the average, from two to five times what they are in Europe, and twenty times wh.at they are in Inda, South America, and those semi-barbarous countries, which the power, of steam as applied to sea and land ■ transportation is rapidly bringing into direct and active competition with our highly civilized labor. AH these depend upon the continuance of a strong and unvarying home demand fur the service and Work they perform and upon absence of excessive competition among themselves. For instance, if by the destruction-of the protected industries the large classes of people depending upon them

JAMES P. ROOT.

were thrown out of work and became impoverished, many of them would be driven into naturally protected industries—say into the business of masons and carpenters —and all would be so impoverished that demand for service and werk in these occupations would be greatly diminished—the consequence would be that the prices in these kinds of work would fall. No argument is needed to prove this evident truth. All kinds of absolutely protected industries would suffer in the same way. Then the home demand for farm products would fall off; an<J so on, till at last we had reached the level of labor in other countries; and instead of general comfort, inteligence, cheerfulness, prosperity, we should have poverty, ignorance, despair and misery .-Tariff league Bulletin.
