PROTECTION IO«iWB8 The most valid criticism made on the tariff bills of the past were that they were for the benefit of the manufacturer exclusively, and did not protect the farmer. It was this fact that was criti cised by Silas Wright, but he spoke vig orously for the protection o! wool and of agricultural products. The McKinley tariff law is the first one in which the agricultural interest are properly protected. The movement which brought this about was adopted and en rem raged by Mr. Whftelaw Heid, of the New York Tribune, now republican candidate for vice-president. It was in response to a pettiion formulated by him. The petition asked for better protection and for the prevention of fraudulent im portations of cattle. It imposed a duty of 30 cente per bushel on barley; 45 cents per bushel on malt; a duty of 25 cents per bushel on potatoes; 3 cents each on cabbage; $4 per ton on hay; 15 cents per pound on hogs; 40 cents per bushel on beans and peas; 5 cents per dozen on eggs; 3 cents per pound on poultry; 25 cents for vegetables in their natural state, and 45 cents on vegetable pre pared or preserved. It imposed a duty of |22.40 per ton instead of #20 on flax, and 50 per cent instead of 35 per cent on linen goods. It made raw sugar free, with a bounty to domestic producers. It shut out tobacco leaf for wrappers by a duty of $2 per pound, and it raised the duty on wool to, or about the level of the tariff of 1867. In every particular, it will be seen, the McKinley law answers the demand of the, farmers. It was a signal for them and their interests. The effects of the law have been to restore prosperity to farm ing. To ask whether or not the farmer will stand by the McKinley law and the party that framed it and the administration that carried it out, seems a foolish ques tion. What else can a common sense farmer do whether he has heretofore been a republican or democrat? It is purely a business and not a political question, and he must decide it on his own business interests. Fortunately, there is no doubt whatever as to how the political parties stand or what their candidates represent on this question. President Harrison, by his own words and acts, has been the defender and, promoter of protection as embodied in the McKinley law, and the republican party has writ ten protection into its platform as sol idly as it could be put there. Ex-Presi dent Cleveland has been equally emphatic in advocacy of free trade, a democratic house of representatives passed the Mills bill in which duties were cut down and agriculture had no protection whatever, and at Chicago it emphasized its pur pose by tearing a protection plank out of the platform and inserting as radical a free trade plank as could be framed. There is no reason why any free trade re publican should vote for Mr. Harrison and there is no reason why any pro tectionist democrat should vote for Mr. Cleveland. In the case of the former, es pecially, who is directly benefitted, it would be the height Of absurdity to vote to .overturn the McKinley law. Good Things by Harrisoii. "Wei took the ship of state when there was treachery at the helm, when there j was mutiny on deck, when the ship w; among the rocks, and we put loyalty at j the helm; we brought the deck into order and subjection. We have brought the j ship into the wide and open sea of pros perity, and is it to be suggested that the | party who have accomplished these mag nificent achievements cannot manage and sail the good ship in the frequented roadways of ordinary commerce?" "I feel that in this campaign upon which I am entering, and which will un doubtedly cause careful scrutiny, per- j haps unkind and even malicious assaults, all that related to my not conspicuous but j loyal service in the army, I may confi dently leave, with my honor, in the hands | of the surviving members of the Seven tieth Indiana, whatever their political j faith may be."--1888. I recall no scenes more pathetic than that which I have often seen about our camp fires, An aged man, a fugitive I from slavery, had found freedom in our | camp. After a'day of hard work, when taps had sounded and lights in the tents were out, I have seen him with the spell ing-book that the chaplain had given him, lying prone upon the ground taxing his old eyes, and"pointing with his hard ened fingers to the letters of the alpha bet, as he endeavored to open to his clouded brain the avenues,of information and light." The Republican party haa walked in the light of the Declaration of Indepen-1 dance. It has lifted the shafts of patriot ism upon the foundation laid at Bunker | Hill. It has made the more perfect union secure by making all men free. Wash- ] ington and Lincoln, Yorktown and Ap-1 pomattox, the Declaration of Indepen dence, and the Proclamation of Emanci-1 pation are naturally and worthily asso ciated in our thoughts to-day." I®" In view of "General" Stevenson's record along in the 'sixties it would seem that Tammany in desiring his nomination wanted to be doubly sure that the old soldier vote would be arrayed solidly against democracy in this campaign. One substitute-sender they seemed to think was not enough so they named an other oile. With the record the first made as an insulting vetoer of pension bills and the record the "general" made during the war it is difficult to see how many democratic veterans can become very enthusiastic over their party's candidate. ^ > |^* In his speech at Bloomington, Sena tor Palmer wailed: "Discontent reigns ..... supreme." It does with Hill and Gray ; find many other democratic leaders but rk fbe people are pretty well contented at •resent. That is one reason why Cleve land's chances are far from being good. Another reason is that the discontented feeling which has taken possession of tlill, Gray and others, is not helping ^::«$eveland. r- tfiTGen. Sickles has said that notasol- ' #ier would vote the democratic ticket. .V Gen. Slocum says it is folly to expect that old soldiers will vote a ticket with I' # drafted man at each end of it. And Why should any one expect it? The old ' t Soldiers fought for a principle,and while Y•»|hey where fighting,the head of thedemo- ' : . iratic ticket was taking his ease in Buf falo and the vice presidential candidate denouncing their efforts from the , jftump and declaring the war a failure. Old soldiers have memories. Placing V' themselves back to those days, reviewing •" the surrounding circumstances, realizing 4; that the Union would have been destroy- ^ ;f :«d if men like Cleveland and Stephenson liad been in a majority in the north; Irishmen for Harrison. A late number of the Boston Daily Ad vertiser has a dispatch from New York headed "Irishmen Deserting," which states that "everything indicates that the Irish-American revolt of 1888 was nothing as compared to the revolt which will reach the climax at the polls on No vember 8." As evidence of this fact the statement of Patrick Dwyer is introduc ed, "who has been a power in the Demo cratic politics in the second assembly district for the past twenty-five years," who has announced his intention to vote the Republican national ticket next fall. Mr. Dwyer gives the following reasons for his action: "Yes, it is a fact that I have made up my mind to support Harrison. My rea sons? Well, in the first place, I have al ways been a Democrat, and to my way of thinking Grover Cleveland is not a Democrat. 1 thought he was one in 1884, and I organized a club in his be half which did good work through the campaign. But he hadn't been in office six months before I saw he was no Dem- crat. His administration wascontrolled by mugwumps, and how a Democrat can support a man who is in the hands of such men is something I can't under stand. 1 am an Irishman by birth and my sympathies are with Ireland in her struggles against England. Cleveland is pro-British from top to bottom. His treatment of Congressman Collins, of Massachusetts, showed that he cared nothing for Irishmen and everything for England. Irish-Americans haven't for gotten that. Men can be fooled and de ceived once, but it is a hard matter to deceive them the second time. We know Cleveland, and he certainly will not be able to delude the Irish-Americans into voting for him again. Colonel Matthews, controller of the treasury, presents a poser to the demo cratsinthe following manner: "There | is a wonderful economical argument in [ favor of the McKinley law. We are now i collecting not a dollar more than is act- Fitby, Pointed and Pertinent. Silver, like talk, is now very, very cheap. The cause is the same in both cases--over production. The man who owns a silver mine had good reason for becoming a calamity wailer. "Cyclone Jim" is the pet name for a gentleman who will probably sit on the democratic side in the new House, as he has been nominated in a district which is overwhelming democratic. "Cyclone Jim is not a product of the cow boy section, as might be supposed, but is a native son and citizen of old Virginia, "Mother of Presidents." A cyclonic member may prove very useful to the democratic min ority in the next House; at any rate he ought to make things brerzy in his lo cality. Gov. Buchanan of Tennessee, is not the first official of that name who failed to meet with public expectations in a great crisis. Miss Canada will have to make the first move if she wishes to renew the cordial relations with Uncle Sam. The old man stood her outrageous treatment of his sons until patience ceased to be a virtue. Now she will know how it is herself. The British newspapers appear to be lieve that the labor troubles in this country are serious enough to endanger the republic. These gentlemen should take a look around at home; there will be a change of government in Great Britain long before such a thing is even thought of in this country. The democratic harmony in Texas is composed of equal parts of pistols, dag gers and shot guns. Democratic papers which predict that Cleveland will carry such states as Mas sachusetts, Iowa and Illinois furnish un- disputable evidence that the silly season is upon us. It is England, not New England that wants Cleveland and free trade. A good, stiff backbone seems averse to the name of Buchanan. Instead of "filling up" the newspaper men in the usual way, ex-Senator Piatt recently filled a lot of them up with a good dinner. There are men around here who might profitably follow his ex ample. Wrecking trains is not a sensible way to gain the sympathy of sensible people. The honest laborer does not wish to be paid in wild cat dollars, which the Na tional democratic platform endorses; hence he will vote for Harrison and Reid, the nominees of the party of honest money.

Sin--As you are our representative in the legislature from this county, will you ploaae inform myself and others why the legislature failed to apportion the state, and which one of the parties is responsible for not doing so? I ask republicans, who say the democrats were responsible. I ask democrats, and they say the republicans wero responsible. You know I am aot of your political fuith, but I know you will inform mo about what I desire to know. Was there any bills Introduced to regulate Stock yards? Second, was there any bills in troduced in regard to reduced rates of fare, and freight on railroads? Third, was there any bills introduced to prohibit the issuing of free passes On railroads? Fourth, was there any bills in troduced to reduce salaries? Fifth, was there any bills introduced for eight hours as a day's Work? Sixth, was there any bills introduced to arbitrate difficulties between employers and employes? Seventh, was there any bills for uniform text books in public schools? Eighth, what was the total expense of the last general assembly? Ninth, how many months were you in session? Yours, A WOBKINQMAX. THE ANSWER. My answers are confined to what I know took place in the lower house of the general assembly. First, the congressional apportion ment committee had twenty-one mem bers, twelve democrats and nine repub licans, and I was one of the latter. We met several times, but could not agree. The democrats drew up a plan to gerry mander the state, disfranchising thou sands of republicans. We, the minor ity were willing as a compromise to leave the state as it is, and £ive the two congressmen at large to Cook county, but the democrats would not agree to it. Hence we dropped tfee matter to fight it out at the next election. The democrats are reponsibie for a failure to do it, as they had a majority on the committee in the house. First. There were sixteen measures introduced in regard to stock yards, everyone of which were defeated. Hence the democratic house having a majority in both, the house and com mittee are responsible. Second and third. There, were thirty measures introduced in regard to rail roads, and one to prohibit the issuing of free passes to state officials and members of the general assembly, everyone of which were side-tracked and opposed by the democratic house, and a majority on the committee. Fourth. There were fourteen meas ures in general in regard to reduction and modification of salaries, and every one defeated by the democratic commit tee and house. Fifth. There was one bill to make eight'hours a d^y's work, and it went to its first reading, as far as the democrat-' ic house would permit it to go. Sixth. There was one bill introduced to arbitrate difficulties between em ployers and employes, and it was killed by the democratic house. . Seventh. There were eight measures introduced for a law to have either state or county text books in public schools; and yet the democratic house killed every one of them; Eighth. The total expense for the last session of the general assembly was $388,585.'77. Ninth. The session began January 7 and closed June 12, 1891, or one hundred and fifty-seven days in all. I hope I have answered the above in teirogations in as concise and plain statement as is possible for one to do. There were iii all fifty-four commit tees in the hous£ and every one of them had democratic • chairmen and a major ity of the same. The republicans were powerless, but forced the fight in favor of the bills that did pass. The demo crats are great sticklers, spouting for reform, and we fail to see them accom plish anything when they have the power to do so. It seems at the last session it was their greatest contention to put their political heelers on the pay rolls, and prolong the session, which was .more expensive than an average for many years. D. C.

Our year were in round numbers $854,000,- 000 and our expenses were $345,000,- 000. Of the receipts $178,000,000 was contributed by custom duties under the McKinley law. Instead of the balance each year growing larger it is actually growing less. Our balance for the last fiscal year 1891 was $37,000,000. Our balance for the fiscal year just closed wad only $8,000,000. Now I want to ask our democratic friends how they propose to reduce duties any with this situation confronting them. They profess to favor the collection by tariff duties of sufficient revenues to meet the wants of the gov ernment, and yet the slightest reduction in tariff duties will necessarily come from the small surplus of only about $8,000,- 000 which we have to go on.'

There were about 150 down from Sharon last Friday night to hear "Billy' Mason speak, and their own Glee Club sintr. Sharon is, and has a right to be justly proud of their Glee Club. "Theed" Morgan is manager and Geo. Crandall leader. As soon as they get to the end of the first line in the first song, you are aware that you are being entertained by good singers, good fellows and still bet ter good republicans. On every hand we hear their praises sung for the manner in which they entertained the great crowd here Friday night. We would impress on the minds of other Republican Clubs who are about to have rallies that they cannot do better than to secure the ser vices of the Sharon Glee Club, who are jolly good fellows every one. The Harvard base ball club club are now champions of McHenry Co., having defeated Hebron last Saturday by score of 11 to 9 in a game for the cham pionship.
