a case that was so wonderfully re

were severely injured. He was picked

at that time saw a feeble old man

When Mr. Northrop learned of
the remedy that had cured
Mr. Marshall in Hamilton, and the
person in Loclcport, he procured a sup

Messrs. Rassett & L'llommedicu, 95

Inlly adhered to the use of the remedy
until now he is completely restored.
Mr. Northrop declares that there can be
no doubt as to Pink Pills being the cause
of his restoration to health, as all other
remedies and medical treatment left
him in a condition rapidly ?.-ing from
bad to worse, until at last it was de
clared there was no hope for him and
he was pronounced incurable. He was
in this terrible condition when he be
gan to use Dr. Will iam's Pink Pills, and
they have restored him to health.
Mr. Northrop was asked what was

petition will doubtless be granted. An
officer of this sort would protect associa
tions from slander, and the stockhold
ers from fraud.
The Chinese of St Louis are just be
ginning to understand that they must
all be photographed by the collector of
internal revenue before May 5 of next
year, and they are much disturbed
about it This is in accordance with
the exclusion act, passed by Congress
last year. That provides for the photo
graphing of every Chinaman in the
country within a year from the passage
of the act, May 5, 1692. The Chinese
abominate photography as thty do
newspapers, and they will make every
effort to evade the laws. There are
only 800 Chinese in St. Louis, accord
ing to the census, but more than half
of these are never seen on the streets.
The proposition made by Street Com
missioner Murphy of St. Louis, to in
crease the city's revenue by extending
its lines so as to take in a great part of
St. Louis county will, of course, meet
with much opposition, but it is gener
ally regarded as a remarkable one,
nevertheless. The commissioner's plan
will double the area of St. Louis and
add half a million dollars to its reve
nue, but the opponents of the scheme
say that the county would demand
more than half a million dollars' worth
of improvements as soon as brought
into the city. Yet, everybody concedes
that something must be done to pro
vide for the legitimate extension of
the city as it grows beyond the provis
ions of the charter 'made fourteen
years ago, and the commissioner's plan
is the first attempt that has yet been
made by anybody to grapple with the
ques'tion. If Major Murphy's annex
ation boom succeeds the city will have
about 750,000 people by the next cen
sus, as the new- territory is thickly
populated.

Mr. Wm. R. Ebelh a Russian by
birth, has bought 40 acres of ground
about three-quarters of a mile outside
of the city of Kendallviile, Ind., and
is making a great. effort to establish a
colony of Russian?. The plan is to
carry on all kinds of work and manu
facturing. In this manner ail the

most is that he is brewing a Russian
drink, which is made principally from
honey. It is a very popular drink in
his country, and used' in large quanti

sold about as we sell soda water in
this country. He has already received
several barrels of honey.
We think the new honey fresh from
the flowers and hives, containing all
of its flavor and odor, full of strength,
having lost nothing by standing and
candying, would make the best drink.

Ex-Congressman Horrof Michigan,
during a recent visit to Omaha, made
an address on the political issues of
the day. In introducing the speaker
' Qf ln
evening. Dr. Mercer said it was
reputation, a reputation co-extensive
qrlth civilization, and he took great
pleasure in introducing on this occa
sion Hon. Koswell G. Horr of Michi
gan, a writer on the New York
Tribune, the paper owned and edited
by Hon. Whitelaw Reid, the republi-
can nominee for vice president of the
United State.
As Mr. Horr arose he was most en
thusiaiiy weiedthed, and it was Sdm8
little time before he was permitted to
fuliy acknowledge the cordial greet
ing. He said:
-Ladies and Gentlemen, and Fellow
Citizens: I propose this evening to
discuss some of the questions about
which some of the people of the Uni-
ted States differ. 1 he iioiiiical narties
do ndt agree as to the prober policy of
mis government on certain vital prin
ciples. I shall sneak from the stand
point of a republican, as I have been
a republican ail my life. But before
I get tnrough, if there are any demo
crats in the audience, they wiil think
that I know about as much about the
democratic party as they wouid caro
to have montioned in a public speech.
The democratic party docs not be
blicve in a protective tariff. Some of
them believe iu a tariff for revenue
oniv. with protection as incidental re
sult. Accidental would be a better '
worn, lor it ineaemocranc policy ever
benefited anybody it would be entirely
accidental. The democrats do not
like to be cniled free traders. They
prefer to be called tariff reformers.
Tney like to hear the word reformers,
but thus carries my mind back to Mar
tin Luther and ail that sort of men,
:.hd when you colilo to tangle Grover
Cleveland dp With Martin Luther you
are getting things rathef mixed, and
so I call therh free traders, hot to hur't
their feelings, bdt td Save myself from
mental cbnfusibn.
D1FKEKEXT KIND3 OF PROTECTION'.
There is no country that proceeds
strictly on the principle of free trace.
Great Britain levies a tariff on articles
that shb cannot raise herself. Out
protective tariff levies duties on a plan
exactly oppoaito to that We object
to iev ing amies on articles uf iieeos
sity nut produced in this country, be
cause that kind of a duty in-.'reasgs the
price of an article and taxes the con-
sumer.
tariff a
Tbe revenue from such a
comes out of the pockets of tho
common people. Tho duties on tea
collected in Great Britain last vear
amounted to $23,000,000. This was
paid by tho common people. We ob
ject to such a dutv as this, and our
polity of protection is to admit tea and
i- ? - : r
oiner necessaries not proauccu in mis
country free of duty.
The protective system is to levy a
duty on articles which we can produce
in this country. Our democratic op
ponents object to this. They claim
that a duty placed on an articlo that
we can produce has exactly the same
effect as one levied on nu article that
we cannot produce. That the duty is
added to the price of the article and
impoverishes the country.
EFFECTS OF PROTECTION".
Now, there are four natural re
sults of our system of protection that
I want to cail your attention to. First,
it builds up new industries and fur
nishes labor for more people, and this
even our free trade friends cannot de
ny. We not oniy do that but in the
second piacc we pay better wages than
the laboring people get in any other
country on the face of the globe. Once
in a while we find some one who de
nies thU but it is true whether he
denies it or not. Then some of our op
ponents claim that while our wages
sound bigger, everything that a labor,
ing man uses costs so much more that
he can buy more in Europe with what
he gets for a day's work there than
he can here with our wages. I won
der if they believe it For if that is
true the workmen in Europe is better
off than the workingman in America,
and if that is the case what makes
so many of them come over here? I
can understand how railroad and steam
ship lines can concoct schemes to pro
mote immigration, but when they find
what a terrible country they have come
to and compare their pitiful condition
here with the elegant times they had
over there, why don't they go back?
Did you ever hear of any of them go
ing back, except some of those who
come over in the steerage and go back
as cabin passengers? Why, these peo
ple know that there is no country in
the world where the working classes
are so well off as they are here.
The third point is that we keep
the money in this country. I don't
need to argue that If the money is
kept here, it is here. Tom Reed set
tied that point when he decided that
when a member was in the house he
was in the house. When we produce
the goods in this country and sell them
in this country we necessarily keep
the money here.
MAKES THINGS CHEAPER.
The fourth benefit which I claim
is that we cheapen the price of com
modities. Now, some of-our free trade
friends dispute this, and one of the
things that they ciaim has
risen in I
once as the result of the protective
tariff is binding twine. I have been

Pey leI1 me that since the protective
tariff went into operation
the price of
bindin- twine

reduced from

ail the articles --"which have been pro- !
auced under the protection of the tar-
iff I don't know of a single arttcie that i
has not keen cheapened after we cot ;
fairly to work. When I wars boy we
couldn't get a caseknife to eat with

England, ' and they were clumsy things,
too. Those knives cost more than the
light and highly finished cutlery we
have bow, which is manufactured in
this country. A mowing blade, such

costs' tne 6d dents now, and a shovel
that used to be worth fl. 25 is now sold
for 5t) cctlU. There is net a single im
plement used oii the fafrli in the
United States that has not been cheap
ened by producing it in our own coun
try. Crockery furnishes another case
in point Most of us can remember
when every piece of crockery we used
bore the stamp of the lion and the uni
corn. If the repudlican party has
never done anything else to deserve
the support of tho people it has made
it possible for a man to eat a square
meal without that English chromo
6taring him in the face ana it costs
less that) half what It did then.
WATCHIXO THfciti JiAfiE ftJt PLATE.
Now is there a single article that
has not been cheapened by the pro
tective tariff? Somebody always says
tin plate.' They say that there is no
tin plate manufactured in this country
notwithstanding the tariff. But they

can't make me believe that, for i have
.
I have seen tho steel ingots rolled
back and forth until they were reduced
to the required thickness, then dipped
in the rats of oil and then in the vats
Of tin that adhered to the steel, and
then burnished, c'ut aha packed for
shipment They would have to talk
an hour to make me believe that there'
is no' tin plate manufactured in this
country. We have twenty-two facto.
rics making bright tin and roofing tin
and forty-one others getting ready,
and before long we will make one. third
of all the tin plate used in this coun
try.
But they say that tho articlo 15 not
cheapened. It is selling 8 cerits a
pound cheaper in Omaha today than
it was when the McKinley bill passed,
and we have only begun to manufac
ture it Inside of two years we will
make better tin and seli it cheaper
than ever before, and still the demo
crats say we can't make tin plate.
CAN MAKE ANYTHING IN AMERICA.
I belie vo "wo can make anything
here that can bo made anywhere on
lnjs eorln.
Thev said we could not
make steel raiis and plate glass. They
got quite religious over the plate glass
question. They said that God didn't
intend that plate glass should be made
in this country. They made that re
mark in congress, and we wondered
how they found it out We doubted
whether their relations with the Infi
nite were such as to make them good
autnority on God's ideas. Then they
said we could not manufacture linen
ita this Country. The fibre of the ilax
was ndt gdod. But they had been ln
the Ananias and Saphira business so
long that we decided to try it We put
a duty on linen goods and built a mill
at Minneapolis that cost $500. 000. and
when the convention that nominated
the next president and vice president
of the United States met there the con
vention hail was carpeted with Iinin
m.-i nu fact u red at this e-y mil!. J want
to paste t.no American tlag ou to mis
linen and shake it in the face of every
free trader 1 meet
If you can produce any article on
the other side of the ocean for less
money than you can in this country, it
is because they take the difference in
price out of the bone and sinew of the
men who do the work.
-Again they say that to manufac
ture the goods in this country biings
in tho pauper labor of Europe. 1 will
join hands with any' free trader here
to prevent the dumping of crime and
ignorance on our shores, but I am dis
posed to welcome the honest man with
a day's work in him and remember
that some of 'us haven't been here such
a great while ourselves.
APPLYING A LAW OF NATURE.
Seif-preservation is the first law
of nature." It is a man's'first dutv
to
protect bimseli and his
family. And
what is true of the individual is equally
true of the government I iike our
protective tariff because it benefits our
own country first After we have
rondo this country the greatest and
most prosperous nation on the giobo I
am willing to help out some of the
rest This country first and England
afterwards and if I had my way it
would be a long way afterwards, too.
And now I want to talk especially
to the workingmen a littie while. Ail
property does not come from labor.
Some comes from the ingenuity that
makes nature do the work. There
are a lot of calamity howlers going
about the country who ciaim that there
should be more equality of wealth.
PROPERTY AND PROPERTY KIGHTS.
"In primitive days I suppose all the
animals were the property of all men
in common, but, mind you, when a
man caught an animai and killed him
that animal became his especial prop
erty. So all fruits belonged t o man
kind in common, but when an indi
vidual gathered fruit it became his
own. ater is the common property
of all, but when a man digs a well,
does that water belong to everybody.
In the course of a debate with Dr.
McGIynn some ono asked me whether
It I had dug the first well and a man
should come along and ask me for a
drink of water I wouid give it to him.
I toid him yes. I wouid give him five
or six drinks, but if a lot of men bung
around day after day and refused to
make any effort to dig a well of their
own my benevolence would begin to
ooze out
-Labor gives a man the right to use
the product of labor. Some people
really question whether wages have
indeed gone up under the protective
tariff. They argue that because wages
in some particular instances have not
gone up protection is a failure. Thero
is such a thing as maintaining wages.
Any old man will tell you that wages
are now more than twice what they
were in the old low tariff days. When
1 was a boy we birea carpenters at
$1.25 a day who receive $3.00 now.
Bricklayers who cet $1 a day or more
theorize in the face of sucn facts as
these. I have been in over 400 facto- '
ries in the United States and have (
taken the testimony of tho employes
as to whether wajjes were better here
than abroad and I never yet found a
roan who was not getting from 60 per
cent more to three times as much as
he got on the other side of the water,
So I don't have to theorize on that '
So when they tell me that binding
t'wide is higher and I come here and
find that they are selling it for
9i cents instead of 14 cents, I know
il
make me believe any different,
NEBRASKA AS AN ILLUSTRATION.
Now, some of our friend claim
that protection is running this country.
I hadn't heard of it Now, are you
not getting on tolerably well in Ne
braska? I have been out to Beatrice
and Fremont and Norfolk, and if lever
saw a garden spot you have it here in
Nebraska We have produced more
wealth in the' last twenty years than
Germany. France attd Great Britain
combined.
And then they refer to the mo'rf
gage on the farm. You would think
to hear some of the calamity shrieker
talk that sOthe big animal was going
through the couflify and every time he
catches a farmer with hit Ifitek turned
ho claps a mortgage on the farm.
Now, I have a farm of my own and
there is a mortgage on it, but I put it
there myself. There are some case
Where a mortgage is given to escape
from soma pressing want, but in nine
cases out of ten is put there because
the owner believes that ha can improve
himself by doing it snd the money is
obtained to effect some' ittbrotecient
that he regards as a judicious ffttesl
ment The man you want to weep'
over is the one who hasn't anything
to mortgage.
SOME FINANCIAL FACTS.
'Another cry is made that we want
more money; that the country is going
to tho dogs and the only way out is for
the government to manufacture what
money wo need. This whole effort
comes from the mistaken notion that
the government creates money. In
cases of necessity It can issue notes
and make the people take them, but
wiil any 6ne claim that this should be
resorted to in times of peace and pros
perity? Some time ago the' govern
ment made the yard stick measure
thirty-six inches. They might change
it to two' and one-half feet if they
wanted to. Now tfur greenback friend
practically assert that the' government
cannot only make two and ofitf-haif
feet a yard, but make the two and one
haif feet as long as three feet The
government can produce money but it
cannot creato value. It cost this na
tion a good deal to put dowfl the re
bellion with a depreciated currency.
It was a case of stern necessity. The
republican party has made every dol
lar of that money as good as any other
doilar, and we intend to keep it that
way. You cheapen the dollar and the
man who feels it first is the man who
labors. Some of us can remember
back in the fifties when we had money
galore, and when we took a dollar we
didn't know whether it would be worth
a cent the next day or not
SHRIEKS OF CALAJIITISTS.
Now, how does it come about that
people of this nation follow off these
people who are trying to make us be
lieve that everything is going to ruin?
It is because they are prone to reason
from a few isolated instances and from
general conclusions. It Is the same a
assuming that because a preacher is
once in a while guilty of something
wrong the whole class is unworthy,
that because there is a case where a
mother has abused her child that there
is no more any such a thing as mother
love.
I often wonder what kind of a his
tory Brother Weaver or Brother Van
Wyck would have written of Job and
his troubles with boils. Job wns a
Chaldean and I suppose that to read
their history you would think that the
whole Chalueic nation was one great
carbuncle. That is just the way they
doit. If there is a hard frost they lay
it to the McKinley bill. If a cyclone
comes they say it is another republi
can trick.' They go about trying to
make everyone dissatisfied, to make us
believe that this is the meanest nation
on the globe for a working man to
live in.
-Let us stand in this coming great
fight by the party that has ever stood
by labor, by the party that does every
thing it can to build up our industries,
that stands by tho government and
stood by it when it wai in peril. I can
refer to this because Grover Cleveland
and I served in the same brigade dur
ing the war. We both belonged to the
home guard. But we differ in this,
that I would not have vetoed the pen
sion bills that gave aid to the boy
who did so much for the nation."
Mr. Horr s address occupied an hour
and three-quarters and held tho
closest attention of the audience to its
close. He concluded amid a storm of
applause, and the audience dispersed
while the bana renaerea a selection.
Growing Good Flanta.
Tho strawberry plant requires to bo
transplanted to do its best The set
from a runner has formed its roots
mostly on one side and if not trans
planted will send out its root stalks
on one sido also and will not produce
side shoots or crowns with regularity.
By transplanting, some of the roots
are a little shortened, which is a guar
anty of a well balancea plant At hen
a runner advances a certain distance
it takes root and forms a new plant
and as it elongates it forms a succes
sion of sets to a considerable distance
from to old plant At the same time
a joint is formed about midway be
tween each elongation where a secona-
ary branch will start and produce sets.
These sets proauce lateral branches
and each branch forms other set
which wiil grow to the detriment of
the original. In growing plants, never
allow a secondary vine to take place
from tho point of elongation between
the sets, and the result will be that
each set wiil produce equally with the
parent plant Ino plant is the start
ing point of a successful crop of ber
ries and the grower's success depends
greatly on the kind of plants he uses.
He cannot be too particular on this
point Farm and Home.
Plaiitlns "hade Xreea.
My experience leads me to recom
mend the planting of small trees.
The trees now growing in my yard.
which have shown the greatest thrift
and most rapid growth, were trans-
plantea when about haif an inch or so
in diameter and not higher than my
head, and it is surprising how rapidly
they have frown, furnishing fine shade
in six or seven years, but to get- this
rapid growth, cultivation r.t first is in
dispensable. Because our forests
were self sown and not cultivated,
most persons irnagin". that a forest
tree needs no care, but we must re
member that nature is both prodigal
and patient; she sows a million seeds
for a score of perfect trees, and it
makes no difference whether a tree is
ten years or one hundred in coming
to a size sufficient for shade. Ex.
that 9J is less than 14 and yen
