Since the return of the I'resi
dent to liis little cheese*box office ,
he has had several interviews
with his Post master General and
lie has told him to ugel oJF the |
lid and let the stink come out. (
The latter is going to obey him
[ by getting out of town and allowing
his subordinates to stand
the stench. It is well known that
Mr Payne sutlers with acute nidi- ,
gestion and his stomach is not
strong enough to stand this tiling

emanating from the Postoffice
Department do not blame
him. The investigation goes
''bravely on," so it is said, but it 1
is remarked here that, alter all the |
replies to Mr Tu I loch's charges
are boiled down to the last analv- |
sis, the only way in which they
have* refilled anything he has
charged has been by calling him
'ranother."
It is h noteworthy lact to be i
borne in mind that all the replies i
to Mr Tulloch's charges tiave been <
given to the public with the ex- I
ception
of the reply of MrBris- i
tow, the Fourth Assistant Post- i
raas'er General. The reasou, it
is believed here, is because Mr
Bristow has corroborated Mr Tul- (
loch's charges in almost every (
important particular. It will

The American Society ol
Equity of Indianapolis has issued
a bulletin to the fanners ot the
United States demanding an increase
in the price of wheat,, arguing
that the minimum price of
wheat should be $1 a bushel and \
urging the farmers not to sell for
iessthanll. The Society was or- j
ganized a year ago, with that t
city as national hea'quarters, to
maintain higher prices for farm <
products by co-operation of the (
farmers of the country, and this t
is the first formal demand for in- a
crease in prices. The bulletin !
reasons that because of the low !

I he tanner* to accomplish I In* j
result aimed at, ami it does not I
involve the risk and a!mo*t cer-;
am failure ol attempting to inn-'
ale the manufaetnrin?j trusts. In'
lie first place the prire of wheat j
is fixed in Liverpool and not in j
i
'Inea^o, ami it we ceased entire]\ |
o export, the chances are thai !
the price in Chicago would noi ?oj
lo one dollar. There are too innnv |
farmers and they are loo widely j
scattered to lorm a trust, and I
*ven it they were rot they aie
not protected by the tariff rates,
is are the manufacturers. The
latter can net together, form a
Iriist and force the juices as liijili
is the Ianff wall at any time they
dioose. The tanner can do no
mch thins:, The manufacturers
tave thus forced up tlie prices
hat the farmer must j.ay for
nanii(iict iced floods tut average
>1:1 bout 40 per cent, since the
Dingley tariff bill became a law.
i'he prices of many articles, sncb
?s barb wire, wire nails, tin plate,
window glass, etc., have been
forced up 100, 200 or 300 per
:ent in our markets, though sold
il very low prices to foreigners.
If tarifl'duties on trusts were
aken oil' manufactured goods
which now sell for #1 would sell
lor 00 cents. The tanner con I :
then buy as .much with his bushel
if wheat selling at 75 cents in
Chicago as he would jret if he
;ould force the price of wheat up
to $1 while payinir the present
high trust prices lor bis goods.
It is entiiely leasible for the
farmers, by voting tor no tarifl*on
trust goods, to reduce the cost of
what they have to buy. It is not
uL all feasible for them to get to
gelher long enough to artificially
raise the price of wheat 30 or 40
per cent. The farmers are the
backbone of protection in this
country, although, as a leading
republican?the late Ben Butlerworth?said
in 1S90: ,4The manufacturers
and the trusts get the
protection and the profits of the
tariff; the farmer eels the husks
and the humbug." How much
longer will the farmer continue to
buy republican gold bricks?
