Troy Davis and sister Cora in tend going to Lincoln to attend school the coining y ear. Thev are hanl students and no doubt they will rise to eminence ere loiig;.uid be a blessing to their father and the community in general. The great campaign is on and the voice of the orator is heard in the land. The argument that protec tion injures the farmer has always been a favorite with the free trader, it has steadily grown in favor and has been given a decided turn in the fifty second congress by the at tempt to remove the duty fioni wool, binding twine, and tin plate. The truth is. that manufactured ir ticles.and especially those which concern the farmer, are on an aver age twenty-live pel" cent cheaper than in , wlien eighty per c '::t ol them were made abroa I. That, now more than eighty per cent are made at home, the larimr has been sa e 1 the co-t ot ocean trans portation on tliis eighty pi r cent and has had the benelit of t iie i ; ..ie market their manufacturer ha- cre ated for his produce. That ,-uch market is certain at his door and already taken eighty percent ot lii wln at and n i n ty-l vo per ce il of his corn. That it keeps even pace with the growth of maiiul ictures ami will ere long take all his sur plus, at a belter rate than he can get abroad, and ill competition with the cheap wheat of India and Australia. In addition to the above argument, protectionists show that our free list now embraces nearly one half of our importations; that said list comprises all of the arti cles which ellect the comfort of the farmer or poor man, such as sugar, fruit, rice, tea, coltee and breeding animals, etc; and that the dutiable list embraces all the high priced articles and articles of luxury, such as wines, liquors, cigars, silks, sat ins, glassware, diamonds, linens, cottons, etc., the duties of which are mostly paid by the wealth'. The free trader argues that free raw ma terial used in the manufactures is especially worth of a place on the free list. Among these he classes wool, llax, hemp, seeds, iron ore, pig iron, coal, marble, etc. The pro tectionists claim that the free list as enlarged by the act of IS'JO, con tains a sul'licent number of these articles, that those like wool, which pays a duty, come into competition with the product of our farmer and laborers in shops, mines and fur naces. That labor is the prime ob. ject of protection. Protection repu diates the doctrine that it is a de vide for the benelit of the privileged classes. It rests on the principle that it operates for the general de velopment of the resources and the encouragement of the industries of the country. If classes or capital areemboldened by it to undertake new ventures or to enter the chan nels they would otherwise do, that is a matter which does not effect the prime object of protection and controlled by legislation. It was not Kngland's taritf legislation, but her free trade system, which tended most to sustain her landed aristoc racy. Out of the ten richest men in the United States, nine have accum ulated fortune in speculative and commercial pursuits, other than manufacturing and one in manufac lures that had to deal with protect ed articles. So as to trusts. Protectionists know the facts do not support the theory that protection leads to trusts. The worst trust ridden countries are free trade countries. Trusts in America are quite fre quently the result of Kngland's genus and capital. The Standard Oil, Chicago (las, Street Kailways, Klectric Lighting, Cotton Seed Oil and others w hich rank as trusts or combinations, exists in spite of the doctrines id protection and in no way concern it. It is by no means certain that these combinations are hurtful to the public at large, lor every one that lindsan existence by reason of dealing in unprotected articles ten would exist, tarill or no taritf.

This does not foil o w, but, even if it be true, the purchasing power of our money will be diminished. All experience proves that labor and the productions of the farm are the last to advance in price. Liven if, after a long struggl.', wages and wheat should advance as silver falls, what benefit does the farmer or laborer gef: .vone whatever. He will get more dollars with less purchasing power. Silver dollars worth 77 cents in gold will buy no more food and clothing than 77 cents of our money now. The capi talist and speculator can protect themselves from loss by stipulating for gold payments. This is almost universally done now in California and other silver countries, and is generally done in all railroad and othi r securities running lor a long time. The owner of land and ail other, property can advance his price Hs the silver falls. The whole burden of the policy falls upon those who depend upon their daily labor for their daily bread, and tor the benelit of those who hope, by cheapening money, to par their debts with money less valuable than the money they agreed to pay. Mut it is said we want more money to transact the business of the country. Do we get more .money by ilcnumeti.ing one-half of all we have? for the gold now in circulation is more than the basis of all the great transactions of foreign and domestic commerce. With gold at a premium it would sink out of sight ami be bought and sold like any other commodity, as it was during the war alter the suspension of specie payments. We will again have gold for the capitalists and silver for the people. The fluctuations will be daily marked by the premium on gold No.vboili are on the s une tooting.

S.Ws i Virginia postmaster: ''Not long ago an old colored man came into my place, and after a few general inquiries he said: "Moss, I'se seeking some p'litercal iutlammation.
