Last fall the farmers of Io>a were making careful study of the tarlfl question. The Nebraska free-trader. Norton, told 'tin Iowa audience that they paid the ^English price plus t'ie duty for their blankets. To disprove this Sen. Wilion took some ot the icadidg farmers to a woolen mill which was producing the Jbest blankets, made from wool grown on the backs of American sheep, and worked Into olankets by American labor. **Gtve me your prices for the ' best grade of fire-pound and of eight .'•pound blankets," said the senator. The manufacturer put the figures on a piece of paper,atid to the astonishment 'or those present, the prices in each < case were a trifle lower than those *#Morton had given as the original British pric*.

Here It Is 1886--just arrived, the youngest and tbe favorite heir of all the ages. But even while one is giving him a friendly hall and pondering upon the appropriateness of making a round of calls in his honor, the magazines for February are well under way, and, as v every boy with a calendar knows, (and where, Oh, Insurance companies, is the boy that hasn't a calendar?) after OCR WASHINGTON LETTER. Special Correspondent to the Plalndealer. WASHINGTON, D. G, Jan. 4, 1896. ? The holidays have passed most plea** antly ami the gay winter season has been inaugurated most brilliantly. With the restoration of the Democracy to executive control It was understood that wc were to retur.i to the simple methods and habits of the fathers and social as well as political reform was to be the order of the day. But how has this understanding been verified? From the morning of the inauguration of President Cleveland, the smile dis­ play. the same pagentry, the same effort at show has characterized the reform administration as characterized the administrations preceding, and nov It is announced that thiR will be th* most brilliant season socially that has ever been known in Washington. This but proves that human nature is the same, that Americans are the same whether Democrats or Republicans; parties may formulate platforms and promise great reforms, but the vox populi controls even though there may be periods of short duration when such would not appeir to be the case. Mr. Cleveland and the administration can not overturn customs engrafted on the life of the Capitol, and there is no evi­ dence that they intend to try it. Cougress convened at noon to-day, there being a full attendance of mem bers ill both branches. Speaker Carlisle announced his Committers, and while there is considerable dissatisfaction evidenced by those wlu have not been favored with chairmanships, it is evi­ dent that the Speaker earue-tly in­ tended to do just what was right by his patty in making his selections. We will give you a full analysis of the Committees in our next letter. The first business before the Senate wi.l be to act upon the thousands of nominations beat in by the President* and it m«y be stated that there will be no captious objections urged by the Republican Senators. In fact, tlie most serious objections will be urged by the members of his own party. Republi­ cans will only object when there ap­ pears a clear violition of the law in the appointment, or where the charae- ter of the appoiutee is such as to 'pre­ clude their voting for the cotairma< tion. In the House the Hoar Presidential succe«sion bill will be the first to re­ ceive atteution, and while many are sanguine that it will speedily passed, it Is no secret that it will be atagoniz- ed by the ablest men of both parties, mil your correspondent questions whether it will ever pass that body in the present shape. It is now manifest beyond peradven- ture that the President will have a majority of bis party in eaca House ol Cougress against him in his silver policy. Senator Beck in the Senate, and Chairman Bland of the House « voice the sentiment of the majority ot tbe Democrats in their respective bodies. It is clear that on this question he Is not in harmony with his party, and it will be further along developed that he is not in h^rmnuy with it on AYER'S Cherry Pectoral No other complaints are so insidions In their attack as those affecting the throat and lungs: none so trifled with by the majority of suffer­ ers., The ordinary cough or cold, resulting perhaps from a trifling or unconscious ex­ posure, is often but the beginning of a fatal sickness. AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL haa wcJl proven its efficacy in a forty years1 light with throat and lung diseases, and should be takcu in ail eases without delay. A Terrible Cough Cured. " In 18571 took a severe cold, which affected < my lungs. 1 had a terrible cough^ and passed The Weekly Inter Ocean closed Its first year with 10,000 subscribers. It closes it four­ teenth year with February, which is a bob-tailed month . , , „ . . T r> l the civil service, tariff and other great anyway, comes March. January, Feb- | ruary, March--a third of the New Year gone, and no New Tear calls yet made. The thought Is a solemn one, and well calculated to lead to early rising and a realization ot the fact that the supar­ sed u re of 1886 by 1887, 1887 by 1888 and so on until Eternity forecloses its mortgage on things temporal--is only a question of time. •J* w, General Sheridan's Indian Policy. General Sheridan, in response to a request for additional information on the Indian queglon, has elaborated bis scheme for permanently <ettling the Indian population of tbe country and providing for their support. It is, in brief, to give each family, as the law now provides, 320 acres of land In sev eralty to be their homestead; that tbe government condemn all of the balance of the land and buy it at 91,25 per acre >and invest the proceeds in 3 per cent, bonds, tbe interest to be applied to the support of the Indians in providing supplies of every nature, aud the principal to be paid them at some future time. General Sheridan goes over the whole ground in detail, taking all of the reservations and stating as near as may be tbe number of ledians on each ana the amouut of money the land would realize, and comes very near showing that the interest on the bonds would be ample for the support ol all of the Indians. Of course It may be easily seeu that the govern nent could by proper management 6ave itself on purchasing this land by eventually selling it to settlers at an advance Not only this, but the process of civil lilng the Indians would be wonderfully acceiai^ated by the con iguity and ex­ ample of white mon. In fact there never could be lois to the government as under the present system it dues support the Indians. It is not pi*bpo8- ed to change the government supervi slon or government of the several tribes beyond what experiences may from time to time seem to be necessary. Perhaps the most valuable part of the communication is the statemeut ot numbers on each reservation, for which national questions. As viewed at pres ent it is evident that while there will toe talk and talk and talk, the silver, civil service and tariff laws will not changed by this Congress; they will remain the same as to-day when Con­ gress adjourns. In fact, it may be stated that no sin­ gle measure of a partisan character can become a law during this Congress; the Republican majority in the Senate and the Democratic majority in the HOUM> precluding any such legislation. Under such circumstances it *ill be the pari of wisdom (or both parties to set earn* estly at woik to do something for the general good; t<> advocate such meas ures as are for the benefit ot the, whole people, and to enter into a spirit of emulation as to which will do most to> build up the material interests of the country at large. Let the agricultural and labor interests of the country be looked after. Let our coast defences be strengthened, and above all. give us a navy to float our flag upon the sea* 48 an earnest that the rights of Ameri­ cans are to be protected as well abioad as at home. i^One year ago about this time there was a very lively gathering of statesmen at Springfield. It was on the eve of the party caucuses and there was much speculation as to probabili­ ties. In his piriors at the LHand Ellj ih M Haines held court aud was engaged in playing the largest game of bluff on record--a game that he played to perfection and with sutcess The friends of that talented voong statesman, Charles E. Fuller, were bustling to make their favorite the caucus nominee for speaker. Repre s^ntative Andy Welch was working twenty-four hours a day to mak»' E. I. Cronkrite, of Freeport, the Democratic caucus nominee. He was successful too, was Welch,atul as a reward for hi labors the good Cronkrite afterward sought to betray him.
