ed or acc a a HE TWISTS THE ROPE. Brother Lewis Puts a Double-Edged Dagger ot Logic into the Farm- ersand Turns it Around. THE KICKING FARMERS. Arcadia, May 16, 1889. Eb. Far- mer’s Vorce:—It would afford a good « deal of amusement, was not of such a serious character, the position of the western farmers at the present time in regard to the twine trust. Every paper is filled with the ac- counts of the indignation meetings of these exasperated farmers, and the whereases and resolutions adopted atthese meetings are innumerable. What do these tariff-cursed farm- ers expect to accomplish by these means? Do they think that the putty ‘ hearted members of the twine trust A will knock off 5 or 6 cents a pound I on binding twine on the account of Ht) these resolutions? Not much; the screws will be tight- ened up forall they can bear, there is not a particle of hope in this di- rection, they are not doing business if in that way, they have got a good i thing through the instrumentality of ! the votes of these same wooden- headed farmers, and they are u-go- ing to work it for all the thing is worth. This whole question was fairly submitted to the people last fall and voted on. These same farmers, that are to-day filling the land with their cries and lamentations of injustice, had the whole matter fairly and car- didly placed before them, and was shown by hundreds of articles on this subject that it was protection alone that rendered the formation and sustaining of these trusts possi- ble. Now, what are they kicking about? They had every reason to believe that they would receive just what they have got. There is a protec- tion tax on sisal grass of which bind- ing twine is made of 15 per cent., also a protection tax on the foreign manufactured twine of 35 per cent. The Mills bill placed this grass on the free list, as there is not a pound raised in the United States, and reduced the tax on foreign twine from 35 per cent to 25. The senate bill that the western farmers voted to sustain, raised the tax on sisal grass from $15 to $30 a ton, and the protection of the twine manufacturers from 85 per cent to 40. This was piled on for the prob- able reason that protection being a good thing, “you know,” it was im- possible to get too much of it, and theleather-headed farmers swallow- ed the whele thing and voted for an increased protection. Now they have got just what they voted for and still they are not satis- fied. Was consistency ever before placed in such s predicament. Kick, you ateers, the yoke you bear upon your necks and the burdens and dis- advantages you are laboring under, have been placed upon you by the willing act of your own idiotic seleo- tion. You have shown the whole world ,. that you were utterly incapable of ‘managing your own business, and are contented to be hewers of wood end drawers of water. ‘That you are willing your wives and daughters should be dressed in patched calico, yourself work 16 hours a day and wear patched clothing, for the sole benefit of the manufacturers, whose wives and daughters can wear velvet and satin, and even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed nor had one-half the good time that these manufacturers do at your own ex- pense. Kick, you idiotic tariff-loving far- mers, you have got just what you voted for, the full benefits of pro- tection; now enjoy it. There is not another nation under the sun that, if they could have had the. opportu- nity you had last fall of a free vote on such a grave subject, but what would have availed themselves of such an opportunity to redress their wrongs, in place of binding them- selves with yet stronger bonds.

I saw a lady sitting in the parlor | of the Ebbitt house Saturday morn- ing that in her day was very much | written about by the press all over | the country. She is tall for a woman and her fig- ure is still excellent; in her youth it must have been admirable. Her | hair, originally brown, even now has few silver threads in it, and the fact that she is reading a paper without the aid of glasses indicates that the sight of her gentle blue eyes is still unimpaired. This lady was dressed all in black, a white lace collar fasten- ed with a brooch containing a like- ness of her late husband being the only relief to the somber color. There was no jewelry to be seen about her except her wedding ring and its guard, which contained a sin- gle diamond. It was Mrs. President John Tyler, the first bride of the white house. When Mrs. Tyler, then Miss Gard- aer, of New York, married Mr. Ty- ler, in 1843, she was but a few mouths over 18 years ofage. Not- withstanding her youth she made a most gracious mistress of the exe- cutive mansion and proved herself fully equal to the exegencies of her high social position. Mr. Tyler died in Richmond in 1862 while a mem- ber of the confederate congress. Since then she has divided her time between Richmond and her planta- tion on the James riyer. Besides Mrs. Tyler there are six other mais- tresses of the white house living, namely, Mrs. Polk, Mrs. Johnson, (Harriet Lane), Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Hayes, Mrs. Garfield and Mrs, Cleveland.

The propogation of the progeny should be prohibited. Stanley has been found, but it is believed that Stevens, who went in search of him, is lost. It will be in order for some one to send an expe- dition out in search of him.
