Central Ill., Jan. 13— To the Ed- itor: Ise in a late issue of the Times a letter from my paternal an- eestor. The old getleman thinks he is wiser than his son, and probably since he has been getting his eyes open it may be that he is. But I will tell you one thing: If youcatch his | sen acting as foolishly as he has for the last twenty years or more you | will hear of a considerable amount of kicking going on in central Illi- nois. If you catch the young farm- | ers working hard, out in sunshine | and rain, year after year, and giving from one fourth to one half of the fruits of their labor to support home industries that employ nothing but foreigners, you can smile. The far- mer of to-day doesn’t care a conti ueutal whether the goods he buys are manufactured in this country or in the moon, so long as he can secure them on the same basis on which he s = ee yes ats measly has to dispose of his products. The Siac nts am Bi pies American manufacturer is supported | and protected by high tariff, and our manufacturer has no competition. But the tarmer has to compete with the whole world. In every foreign market we find hosts of competitors. Liverpool receives wheat not only from the United States, but from Canada, Russia, Austria, and various parts of Asia, Africa and South America. Awmerican beef and wutton now come in competition with that produced on the islunds of the Indian Ocean and South America. The produc- tion of Indian corn is increasing in various parts of the world thut will soon raise it forexpoit. Soon it will be used for fattening hogs which will be offered for sale in foreign markets. The production of cotton is extending in countries that have heretofore produced very little. The like is true in relation to tobacco, which has been a source of wealth to this country. That the competitien in raising and uisposiug of farm products will continue to grow sharper year by year is evident. Still the farmer votes to support our home industries aud to protect our manufacturers from having compe- tition, and at the same time sees himself shoved out in the cold to compete with the world or starve. Boys are we going to stand to one side and allow these od duffers to compel us to support foreign work- men in America to the tune of $2.50 to $3 per day to enuble nim to guzzle his lager beer and eat sour-kraut he accuumuiates a lortune aud goes back to the old country to enjoy it.

LARD ONLY IN NAME. | Refined Family Lard Made of Beef Fat and Cotton Seed Oil. Washington, Feb. 8.—The inquiry with regard to lard and its com- pounds, begun two weeks ago by the senate committee on agriculture, before which is pending the bill to require lard compounds to be stamped, was continued to day. Mr. Hill, of Boston, an employee of Squire & Co., who are the propo nénts of the pending bill, produced samples of various compounds in tin pails which he had purchased in open market and caused to be chemically examined. A sample bearing the stamp of Armour & Co., “pure refined family lard,” was found to contain about 60 percent of hog’s lard with twenty each of cotton seed oil and beef fat. A sample of Fair- banks & Co., Chicago, “prime refin- ed family lard” was made of the same elements,but bad a greater propoi- tion of beef fat and cotton seed oil. A sawple bearing the stamp of Hal- stead & Co., “pure family lard,” and another from the same firm stamped in Spanish “pure lard, registered,” etc., contained, so far as the tests had been carried, not a particle of hog’s laid, but were made eutirely of beef fat aud cotton seed oil. Mr. Squire, who produced these samples, said he had never heard of the firm of Halstead & Co. before, but had purchased the samples in a respectable neighborhood in New York. Squire’s attorney pro- duced a package of “pure leaf lard,” put up by Squire & Co., and purebased in opeu market by Professor Sharpless, which the latter testified as madeentirely of hog pre- duct and coutuined no traces of any- thing else.

PRACTICAL Jun E. A HUGE A Philadelphia Drummer Unpleasant'y Surprised at Benham, Tex. Bonham, Tex., Feb. 6.—A drun- mer has just eome to grief in ths: city in a manner that will cause u: - limited fun for the citizens for many weeks to come. Last Saturday thera arrived in town a young Hebrew di ummer who represented a jewes y house in Philadelphia. This wus tla young mau’s first trip to Texas, aud he thought it was a way-back couutry where style was not wont to dwe!’, He dressed himself up in the latest Broadway agony, and proceeded ta piomenade the town, eyeing eve y girl he met. His actions were not c- ed by several young men of the tow: , who determined to take some of tha conceit out of the drummer. They accordingly formed a band of eight or ten, and agreed upon plan of ac tion. Two of the number mais friendly advauces to him, aud pia- posed to show him the town by night. To all their plaus the your. man readily agreed, and about id c'clock ut night the trio started ove iu the west part of the town to iit alleged beer garden. When about « hulf mile from the square in wda. , muddy and thinly settled portion 2? the city, the drummer and his esco. 6 were suddenly confiouted by five ot six heavily armed and desperais looking individuals, who called iy the trio to halt.
