It Costs You Nothing.

It is with pleasure we announce that we have made arrangements with that popular, illustrated magazine, the American Farmer, published at Cleveland, Ohio, and read by farmers in all pnrfaa nf this country and Canada, by which that excellent publication will be mailed direct, free, to the address of any of our subscribers who will pay up all arrearages ou subscriptions and oiie year in advance, from date, and to any new subscribers who will pay one year in advance, or to any subscribers in arrears who will pay us not less, than $3.00 on his back subscription. This is a grand opportunity to obtain a firstclass farm journal free. The American Farmer is a large 16-page illustrated journal, of national circulation, which ranks among the leading agricultural papers. Its highest purpose is the elevation and ennobling of Agriculture through the higher and broader education of nien and women engaged in its pursuits. The regular subscription price of the American Farmer is SI.OO per year. IT COSTS YOU NOTHING. From anj one number, ideas can be obtained that will be worth thrice the subscription price to you or members of your household, yet you get it free. Call and see sample copy.

The assessments made under the new law, will no doubt, be much, higher and therefore nearertheir J undeitliciiew-law at 4 ( luiii he r e t of o re,_Kutasto4heiT---lM' i n g nearer on an equality in the different townships of the county and in the different counties of the state, the reverse will we are confident, be found true. The inequality will be greater than before, and especially will it be found that democratic Counties will be assessed way down low, in obedience to the secret instructions of she Green Smith gang. And aS to the hope that Boards of Review, will have any great success in equalizing the assessments, we think that hope is doomed to disappointment. The law is such a wretched, contradictory jumble, especially where it prescribes methods for equalizing assessments, that very little can be hoped for in that respect

“Grand Army of beggers; fatfed pensioners; grand army of sutlers, judge advocates, bounty jumpers and ninety day heroes.” Ac. <tc. Ac. Oh yes, very friendly indeed is the feeling in the south towards pensioners! But, after all, these outspoken tirades against Union soldiers and their pensions are as much entitled to respect as are the hyprocritical screeds of northern editors who, in the hopes of turning Union soldiers against the 'Republican party, rail against the pension laws for their alleged want of liberality; who falsely declare and reiterate that disabled

soldiers wjio receive pensions under that most liberal of laws, the act of June 27,1890, have to become professed paupers to obtain them. And who, for the-purpose of beguiling northern patriots into following the political leadership of southern traitors, declare that those ribald revilers of the ‘ 'grand army of 1 Jeggers” .have become friendly to the Union soldiers and their pensions.

With a wrongheadedness that is as unjustfiable as it is inexcusable the Pilot persists in declaring that the (so called) dependent pension bill is a pauper bill. There are several pension agents in Rensselaer from whom it would be easy for the Pi'Zot to obtain exact information as to the true character of the act of June 27, 1890,-usually,.but incorrectly spoken of as the ‘‘dependent pension bill.” This law, as we stated last week, only requires in the case of a soldier, that he had an honorable discharge; that he served not less than 90 days; that he has a permanent physical or mental inability to earn a support, and

not due to vicious habits. But the inability need not have been incurred in the service, nor is the pensioner required to“declare himself a pauper’’nor make any dec--1 a ration at all in regard to his financial status; nor to be dependent on others for support. In this c onnection we give the names of s ome resident soldiers who have already obtained pensions under this act, and ask our readers how many of them believe that men of their standing would be likely to “declare themselves paupers” in order to obtain pensions. Read their names: J. C. Porter, John C. Chilcote, Joseph H. Peacock, Oliver S. Dale, Ira C. Kelley, Cyrus Haas, all of Rensselaer. James A. Kays and Joseph Mitchell, of s outh of town. Jesse C. Gwin trustee of HTVTiging Grove Tp. S olonion McCurtain, Benj. F. M axwell and . Wm. Daniels, of Barkley tp., Lewis Sayler, of Newton and Wm. Cox, of Union. Likely men these are to “declare themselves paupers.” Further in this connection, and to show the liberality with which the present administration construes this law, it may be added that a single one of our local pensi on agents has secured 12 pensions under its provisions, and the average of the monthly rate of the twelve is eleven and one third dollars; which is certainly very liberal, when it is remembered that the maximum rate under -tlris ha w"ts on H twelve-xlo-Hars. --

Thf. Republican is evidently ignorant of the state of affairs-e-x----ist ingintheSo.uthregardingthe feeling towards pensioners'. People s Pilot. If any better feeling towards Union pensioners has grown up in the South, The Republican is indeed ignorant of the fact, and the w hole population of the North are in the same ignorance, and will remain so until a radical takes place in the tone of the southern papers and their political speakers on this question. That this statement is not, like that of th e Pilot’s, a mere general and vague" assertion, but is founded on facts, we only need to refer to the columns of representative southern paper. We have before us, for instance, the very latest number of the weekly edition of that almost greatest of southern papers, The Nashville American and from its editorial columns cull at random, one of its little editorial.gems, afid copy it below; only premising by explaining that, as .most of our readers know, General Alger is commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, and that organization it is which The American so tenderly alludes to as “The grand army of beggars.’’ We quote from The American: Gen. Alger is of the opinion that the old soldier element will “cut more figure” in the Republican convention than ever before. As Gen. Alger is chief of the grand army of beggars, which represents what he is pleased to call the soldier vote, the wish is probably

father to the thought. Still there is little doubt that the fat-fed pensioners, the grand army of sutlers, judge advocates, bounty jumpers and ninety day heroes will be on hand whooping for the old flag and appropriations as of’ yore. And very likely Gem Alger will be there as in ’BB wooing in his sweet, seductive way the dusky delegate from the Sunny South. And perhaps Senator John Sherman will be there loaded for bear —and Alger.

During the first five months of the present year British exports of hardware and cutlery to this country fell to $4,692,000 from $7,407,400

for the same three months last year. This mehns that $2,714,400

WHY I AM A PROTECTIONIST.

By Hon. J. P. Dolliver,

United States Congressman from lowa.

Written for American Economist. I believe in the doctrine of Protection because the facts of our national experience thoroughly exemplify its truth. No great Americanstatesman, except the halff orgotten leaders of the Slave Power, have disowned the Protective system. The Importers’Trust and Slave Trust have been alone in their hostility to that system, each for obvious reasons peculiar to itself If the doctrine of Protection is not true, our people have blindly f ollowed a blind leadership. If the policy of Protection is not wise, it indicates that the human race, outside of England, has not sense enough to take care of itself. I will Hot thus disparage the average common sense of our own country, nor thus discredit the aver age common sense of mankind.

THE EVOLUTION OF A LIE. In .its eagerness to give tiie co untry some of the facts it had collected regarding mortgages, the Census Bureau has furnished thePolks, Peffers, Weavers and Simp sons some figures which, because these men are utterly unscrupulous, they can make some use of. In its preliminary bulletin the Census Bureau stated that during the ten years, 1880-90, there were placed on record about 9,000,000 of real-estate mortgages. The bureau does state that there were 9, 000,000 of real-estate mortgages on record in 1890, but it docs state in another part of the bulletin that many of these mortgages have Jbeen dischargt'd. But this hitter part of the statement is passed by; it is (hiough for the Peffers that the figures 9,000,000 are placed in connection with mortgages in an official document to enable them to set up the cry. In the hall in which the convention of the calamityites was held, in Cincinnati, the figures were inscribed on a banner. In his speech Senator Peffer shouted that 9,000,000 homes were under mortgage, and now President Polk, of the Alliance, in an article in the North American Review, repeats the falsehood in the follow-

ing words: The national records of this country show the existence of 9,> 000,000 of mortgages on the farms and homesteads of 63,000,000 of people—a mortgage to every seven individuals, or a mortgage for every four families out of five. Every one who has seen the bulletin, or extracts from it, Knows that the above is a falsehood, and none know it better than President Polk. He knows it because in no place does the national record show the existence of 9,000,000 mortgages on farms and homesteads. There is no statement of an official character about' farms and homesteads. Indeed, it is not stated that farms and homestead were mortgaged to the number 0f9,000,000 during the decade 1880-90. but teal-estate mortages, including farms, homesteads, factories, mills, blocks in cities, hotels and theat-. ers, were put on record that decade. And yet every organ

of the new party, every disciple of President Polk and Senator Peffer, will repeat th is false hood 0f9,000,XX) of mortgaged homes. Nor is that aIL Soon the statement will be given out as a quotation from ;he North American Renev, , in which it has appeared without protest or explanation, and quoted on such an authority, many who would not believe it if put forth by the calamity-creators themselves will conclude that it must be true if it appeared in the North American Review in July. All the statistics regarding farm and home mortgages which have been given disprove all the claims of the apostles of calamity, and when the Census Bureau finishes its work there will be no consolation there for them.— -Indianapolis Journal. ; -

Tariff Pictures. The “reformers” said before election that the McKinley tariff, by increasing the cost of tinware would choke off our export trade in canned goods. In May, 1890, under the old law, we exported only 4,432,361 lbs.

of canned beef, while in May, 1891, under the new tariff, our exports of canned beef were nearly twice as large, amounting to 7,375,897 lbs. —New York Press. “That Blanket is a dandy.” FREE—Get from your dealer free, the 54 Book.
