Hen. Jehn U. Landls la president of the
Lancaster (Jaunty Agricultural and Hortl Hertl
cnllurat society, a non-partisan aieoelatlon
organized a quarter of a century age for tbe
purpose et furthering the Intereata of agri
culture and horticulture. Het the honor
able Jehn Is net merely r farmer, he la a
statesman ; and hi) statesmanship la
restricted almost oveluslvoly te a dlscci dlscci
alen of the Utlll, with argument tending
te show what protection haa done for Lan Lan
eaater county. That the agricultural o e
clety might have full benefit et tariff lore,
the honorable Jehn In one of hie annual
ad ir eases, a few years ago,unbeiomed him
aelf before tbe society. A little later he In
duced an rx-oengroasman from Mew
Jeney te ceme te Lancaster and
Ulk for nearly two heura before
the farmers of the society te ahew
tnem bow the mere they were taxed for
everything they consumed tbe mere they
would prespar. The next Rreat effort of
Mr. Landls was te propeso for discussion
botero tbe farmers' institute the question
"Hew would a protective tariff affect the
lnteresta of the Lancaster county farmer?"
Tbe discussion et this topic was given te a
wealthy old Iren master who spoke from an
Iren master's stand-point, and get se far
away from tbe topte under discussion that
every ene present was glad when he stepped.
The local papers of both parties lefnsed te
print oltber of the abeve addreascs. They
were se Intolerably dry.
Nothing daunted by the HI-'uccesh of his
ether tariff essay?, the honorable Jehn
came up smiling before the society en Mon
day last aud readn paper en "What Pre
tectlcn bat done for Lineaster aeunty."
The essay has one virtue; It Is slier.
Anether geed point about It Is that It don't
contain nslngle toetenco showing wherein
Lancaster county has been benefitted by
protection. Here are the figures he ad ad
ducea :
According te the census of 1830, the an
nual production of the nlne thousand farms
of Laticater county, Pa,, was 1,929 7(17
bushel wheat, thu duly en which at 20
rents per buitiel amounts te 385 053; and
3.203.E92 bushels cf enrn, the duty uti which,
at 10 aunts a bushel, amounts te (329.329 ;
and 1,112,C91 busbolseatB,thedutyon which,
at 10 cents a bushel, amounts te (M1,2G9; and
77,118 bushels of rye, tbe duly nn which, at
10 cents a buhel, amounts te f 11,(37.2 ; and
967 bushels barley, tbe duty en which, at
15 eAnts n buuhel, amounts te (DO ; and
393,000 bushels of potatee", the duty en
which, at 15 cents per busbel, amounts te
153,050; and 117 000 leia et bav, valued at
Hi per ten, 1,033,000, with a 20 per cent,
riiitv Imposed, amounts te 1327,000 ; also 3,
331 000 pounds of butter, the duty en wblcb,
at 4 cents a pound, amounts te $135,210 ;
and 101,000 pounds of cbcee, the duty en
wbleb. at four cents per pound, amounts
te (4,040, and 90,000 llve animals hones,
mules, cows and ether cattle valued at
(70,000, the duty nn which amounts te
ever (14,000; and 23,910,320 pounds or tobac
co the average duty Is about 40 cents per
pound the duty en tebacci aggregating
(9,578,530 The tariff protecting these pro pre
duets et our county amounts te (10,930 079.
In this lint is net included wool, mutton,
perk, tallow, lard, bacon, bains, vinegar
and many vegetables, which would Increase
the amount et tariff duties protecting the
agricultural Interests of Lancaster county
te-dav te(ll,0C0UC0.
In 1BS0 Lvioaiter oeun v had a popula
tion et 139 147. Ot thts, 34 915 were males
ever tweuty-one years of age. Frem these
figures it Is llr te ASum that there are
about 33,000 families in Lannaater county
protected te the amount or f U 000,000
Our farmers, however, hatu leeelved the
mcjer pinion et these benefits, and when
we recall te mlud the fact that there are
nlne thousand farmers in the county and
we proceed te distrlbute tbose (11,000,000
among thorn we Hud that the average far
mer of our county is protected te the
amount el ever a thousand dollars.
Mr. Lwdls lumps at thelr full vaiue all
the agricultural product of the county,
aocerdlng te the enntns of 1330, making the
total value (10,930,079, and then with an
lnnocence that would have dene Ah Sin
credit, he states it as a fact that tbese Im
mense preducta would net have been raised
had they net been proteetod by a tariff
tax of 10 and 20 cents a bushel. New Mr,
Landls knows as well at any one else that
therein no pretense en the part of any ene,
either In or out of Cengrcts, te disturb tbe
present rate et duty en agricultural pro pre
ducta ; and he alie knows that It these
dntles were wiped away entirely, there
would cot be an aero lets wheat, rye,
barley, eat, tj , planted in Lan
caster county next year than was planted
last year. Lancaster county has never
Buffered te the extent of ene dollar by hav
ing foreign agricultural pr duce Introduced
Inte tbe county. Neither have ethor coun
ties In ethor mates. The United States ex ex
eort millions et dollars worth of agricul
tural products and don't Impert any; and It
makes ue difference te our larmers whether
there ba a duty of 100 per cent, lmposed
upin the foreign article, or whether they Le
added te tbe free list, la eUhcr case they
will never Hed purchaser In Lincaster
county. We thought it was pretty goner,
ally known that when the tariff-tinkers
were laving high duties en textile and
ether manufacture, si that "trusts"
might be organized for the benefit et the
millionaires and the rnebery of farmers by
tbe enhancing of prices of almost everything
they consume, these tarlff-tlnkera lay a
tariff tax en agricultural products that
never come In competition with tbe pro pre
ducta et tbe native farmer. It Is a mere
tub thrown te the OKrlcultural whale te
keep him quiet while the tariff robbers
harpoon htm.
(Statesman I.andli wat wls3 In that he
aid nothing about the tax en silt, and
clothing, lumber and Iren in a hundred
forms, Bnd ceares et ethor things whereby
the farmer Is taxmt sometimes te the very
deer et the sherlti'a c flier.
ANOTHKH UltlriO 1EAKS irur.
lbs Au.'nrdllleti "HUL.man" Landls r.i.
,0lMt With Ml UniliC Hand.
Editor Intellieknciek "What prr prr
tectien has done for Lincaler county," is
the title of whBt the IS'ew Era describes at
"a very excellent paper," which was read
en Monday last le tbe Agricultural society
by the president. Hen. Jehn U. Lindls.
In this "very excellent piper" Mr. Lan
dls shows, by recourse te the Ian ceesu,
tbe annual proaucueu u. w. ,uuu numn ei
Lancaster ceuuty In wheat, corn, eats, rye,
barley, potatoes, hay, and all the ether pro pre
duel, et tbe farm. He then quotes the Im
lxut duty en each one of these products
and adds it boldly te the price which tbe
farmer received for them. Other great de
fendera of protection have denied that tbe
duty Is ever added te the price, Bive in
rare eases, even of manufactured products;
but Mc. Landls knows better. Uodeelares
that net only I the full duty added In the
caaa of manufactured products, which
give ua leas than 20 per cent, of our ex ex
eorts, but that It U alie added, te tbe last
penny, upon all our agricultural produeta
whleh give us 72 8 psr can, of ear total ex
pert trade I Tne farmer Is compelled te
sell about five hundred million dollar'
worth of his produeta every year te foreign
nation?, they are told In the cheapest
.markets lu t-e world, In competition with
the poorest paid labor In the world; and
yet Mr, Landla tell the farmer et this
county that the tariff gives them 20 eenta
mere than they would otherwise receive
en every bnahel et wheat they tell t and
10 cents mere en every bushel et corn and
eita!
The truth la that If every product men
tioned by Mr. Landls, except tobacco and
wheat, were placed en the free Hat, net one
dollar's worth wcnld be Imported, and the
price the farmer new receive for these pro pre pro
deota would net be affected te the extent of
a single penny. The home price of all the
products of enr farm, produced in excess
or home consumption, and whleh must
therefore be exported te Europe te find a
market, la fixed by the ruling price In the
markets or the world. The Impert duty
placed upon these agricultural prod note waa
a pleee of buncombe te blind the farmer te
the atrocious manner In whleh he Is robbed
day after day by the manufacturer. It waa
done te make him believe that he also was
protected. Think et It I Our farmers
ptoteeted egalnat an "Inundation of foreign
wheat and Heur, corn and meal " when
they expert every five years ever 600,000,000'
bushels et tbe one, and 300,000,000 buahela
et the ether, te a market In which they are
compelled te compete with tbe cheap labor
of the peasantry or Russia, Hungary and
Italy.
But while they are thus compelled te sell
their preducta In theebeapest market In the
world, our protective lawa compel them te
buy all the necessaries of life and all their
agricultural Implements In the dearest.
This part of " what protection haa done
for Lancaster couety"waastraagely emitted
In the "very excellent paper" of the states
man from the Southern dlatrlet
The burdens resting upon the farmer
were forcibly aud graphically shown by Mr
Turner, of Kentucky, In a speech delivered
In tbe Heuse of Representatives, March 7tb,
1SS2. He said:
" Under this tariff he rises In the morn
ing, puta en hla oemmon flannel shirt,
taxedUjpsrcent. ; his coat, taxed 57 per.
cent. ; snoes, laxea 3. per cent, ; and hat,
taxed 92 per cent ; takes the water from a
bucket taxed 35 per cent, and washes hla
face and hands In a tin bowl taxed 35 per
cent ; dries tbem en a cheap cotton towel,
taxed 45 per cent He Bits down te his hum
ble mea 1 and eats from a plate taxed 50 per
cent., with a knife and fork taxed 35 per
cent; drinks his coSea with auger taxed
OS per cent; seasons hla feed with salt
taxed CO per cent, pepper taxed 01 per
cent. He leeks around en hla wife and
children, all taxed In the same way ; takes
a chew et tobacco taxed 199 per cent, or
lights a cigar taxed 118 per cent And,
sir, even the sunlight from heaven that
pours Inte his humble dwelling must ceme
through window glass taxed 59 percent ;
and yet he thinks be Uvea uuder the
freest government under heaven. Then he
starts te work ; puts a brldln taxed 25 per
eent en bis horse, and takes his herse that
has been Bhed the nails used In shoeing
being taxed 69 per coot., driven by a ham
mer taxed 20 per cent and bitched him te
a plow taxed 45 percent., with ehalna taxed
53 per cent ; and after tbe day'a labor la
closed and his family are all gathered
around, he reads a chapter from his Bible
taxed 25 per cent, and kneels te Oed en an
humble carpet taxed 51 per cent. ; and then
he rests his wearied limbs en a abeet
taxed 45 per cent., and covers himself
with a blanket that has ptld 104 per
eent. Ner de these grasping manufac
turers step nere, but even tbe broom with
whleh his geed wife sweeps the fleer is
taxed 35 per cent., and the cooking vessels
used In preparing her husband's frugal
meal are taxed 42 per cent. aud tbeseda used
te lighten his bread Is taxed 59 per cent
She alts down te het sewing with a needle
taxed 25 per cent and a spool of thread
taxed 74 per cent, te make a calico dress
taxed 53 percent, or if she wishes te knit
warm socks te protect her husband and
children from the bitter cold she uses yarn
taxed 120 per cent.; and thus dally and
hourly must the bard earnlngsbf the laborer
go te satisfy tbe manufacturer and add te his
Ul-gotten wealth."
Tne present average duty upon all Im
ports la 47.10 per cent The average tax
upon tbe foregoing 31 articles of neeesslty,
which are In dally use among tbe farmer,
Is ever 01 percent. The reason for this is
that the taxes upon diamonds, champagne,
silks, broadeloths, jewelry, the finest lacea
and trinkets, out glass, India shawls, silk
stockings, spices and perfumery In short,
upon all tbe artleles used by the wealthy
are be much lower than these upon articles
of necessity used by tbe "peer people who
have te work" that the average la cut down
very greatly.
The farmers of this eaunty, as well as
these et the entire country, have had thla
kind of "protection" for ever twenty-five
year, and It has made mere millionaires
and mere paupers than were ever before
made in the same time in any clvlllztd
country en earth,
This is what one of our Western farmeia
tells "illll Nye," one of our brightest
humorists, who baa inquired concerning
tbe prospects of farmers lit tbe Weat ;
" The farms in our state are mortgaged
forevor (700,000,000. Ten of our Western
states I bee by the papers have get about
three billion and a half mortgages en tbelr
farms, and that don't count the chattel
mortgages filed with town clerks en farm
machinery, stock, wagons, and even crop?,
by (Jesh I that alnt two Inebes high under
the snow, Thai's what tbe prospects is for
farms new. The government is rich, but
tbe men that made it ; the men that fought
peralrle fires, and peralrie welvep, and
lpjuns, and potato bugs and bllzziras, and
has paid the war debt, and penBlena and
everything else, and hellered for tbe Union
and tbe Republican party, and high tarlU
and anything else they waa told te, Is left
high and dry with a mortgage et (7,500,
000,000 en tbe farms they have earned aud
saved a thousand times ever. "
These are some of tbe things " protec
tion has dene for tbe farmer, " which Mr.
Landis emitted te mention In his " very
excellent paper "; and If tbe paper ia a fair
speeln,eu of tbe gentleman' equipment
for eoenomlo discussion, It Is net Btrange
tbat bis farmer constituency emitted te send
him te the Senate at tbe last election.

The flame made rapid headway and shot
up tbe stairway from the ground fleer te

The oengresalonal committee Investiga
ting tbe Immigration question resumed the
taking of testimony In New Yerk en Tues
day afternoon.
Jehn Webb, a wortded worker et Brldge

from Kngland, and knew James Lees it
Sen, who were In the habit of bringing
help ever here. He knnw of eight men
brought ever by tbem. There were many
cone drawers Idle In this country already,
four of whom ba knew.
Then tbe testimony et Mr. Colclazer, et
the Philadelphia Jleceril, was resumed, It
having been broken off en Monday after
noon by adjournment He bad called en
Dr. Jehn Lees, or Bridgeport, laat Sunday
In reference le the Bedford case. Or. Lees
said he proposed te bring men from Kng
land te run all bl cone machines. He bad
offered a man (3,500 le oeme here and
manage the mill.
Witness said that be had spent Reme time
In tbe Pennsylvania oeal fields looking up
statistic aud had found, by personal obser
vation and otherwise, tbat fully two-thirds
of tbe men employed In tbe oelileries were
Italian?, Hungarians and Pelea. He said
the oemmon laborers of these nationalities
receive only from 50 cents te (1 15 per day.
Ha aald tbat their mode of living In the
mining regions is fully as bad as here, ex
cept that nature there gives tbem purer air.
As an example, he described one small
barn-like building In which 40Ilallana were
huddled together at Uoneybreok. The
ItalUna llve nn about 40 cents a day, but
tbe Hungarians spend about 50 eenta.
He said further tbat Mr. Hlnes, a mem
ber et the Pennsylvania assembly, had told
falei of a statement made te him by J. H.
Swoyer, a prominent operator. In effect It
was tbat tbe operator In 1387 formed a com
bine, at whleh It waa agreed tbat two things
must be done tira, te open up mere coal
fields than were necessary te supply tbe
market, and next te get a aupply et foreign
labor here, be tbat tbere would always be a
surplus. Witness said tbat In fifteen years
tbe rate of wages hed decreased 50 per cent,
but tbe price of coal had remained tbe
same,
James Creelman, of tbe New Yerk Her

The Hen. Charles S.Wlley, of Ohsrloaten,
111., long an aetlveand prominent Republi
can, has written a letterdcclarlng his inten
tion el voting for Cleveland and Tuurmsn.
He is disgusted with tbe Chicago platrerm
and says : "Tbe Dsmocratle party baa made
and Is still making mostearnest tflerta for
a very material reduction In tbe present un
reasonable taxes. Tbe party advocated tbe
Mills bill, net becaune It Is a popular meas
ure and geed political capital, but because
It Is a piece of sound, honest legislation
which tbe present condition of tbe govern
ment urgently demnndp, and one whleh
will surely bring an enormous benefit te
the people. Therefore, In this campaign
and en thla Issue, 1 think that the Demo Deme Demo
cratie party should receive the aggrosslve,
enthusiastic ouppertof every geed citizen
without regard te party."

One of tbe ohtef acti of Judge Tliur
man's senatorial career was tbe securing of
the passage of tbe Pacific railroad sinking
fund act It will be remombered tbat tbe
tflerta et Gould end Huntington were con
centrated up3n tbe Senate. Stanley Mat
tbewa bad charge of tbe bill, and was en
thusiastically supported en the Damocratle
aide by Voerbeea and " Ben " Hill. Gould
and Huntington were In Washington In
person. Gould bad chosen te dismiss for a
time his " parliamentary agents," and bad
himself undertaken the task et calling per
sonally upon senators and endeavoring te
Induce them by tbe ingenious and plausi
ble arguments et which be Is master te sup
pert the amendments which would practi
cally nullify the Tuurman bill.
Tee aieenta of Gould and Huntington sat
In tbe marble room et the Senate, te whleh,
under tbe rules of tbat body, they could
have acce'S only by the introduction of
some senators. They were confident of
forty votes te defeat the bill. Senater Tour,
man expected te pass tbe bill by midnight
There were Indications el an attempt at fili
bustering by its opponents and many
amendments had been ottered. Mr. Tuur
man was aeen te have upon his desk a roll
call et tbe Senate. 11 e rose and aald that
he understood that the opponents of bis
bill were confident of victory ; that be
had, In fact, then upon bis tieak a roll
call of tbe Senate, with tbe names
checked upon It of the senaters who,
he waa well advised, were relied u;en
by the agents el Gould and Huntington te
vote nay. There was Intense Interest In tbe
chamber. Mr. Tuurman did net read that
roll call or tell whure he get It He simply
aald tbat as tbe voting nn the amendment
proceeded be should wateb it with great in
terest te aete hew well it tallied with tbe list
with which be bad been furnished,
Tbere certainly was consternation In tbe
ranks of tbe lobby. The voting began.
The forty premised votes upon that tally
sheet dwindled te elghteen. Tbe bill was
passed. Thunnsn put bis mystorleus roll
call lutehls pocket. Oeuld took the train for
New Yerk, and, It is said, bai never been

went te tbe Heuse, defied the oemblnutlniiH

deoerated with bunting aud pletnrei et
former Republican presidents. An Immense
American flag with a Ute-slze peitrilt of
Harrison and a little one of Morten It sus
pended from the stage evor the chairman'
desk.
Ten o'clock was named as the hour for the
convention te assemble, but aa early aa halt
past eight o'clock the atreeta en bothsldes
et the hall were covered with crowds.
Within a short time after tbe deer opened
standing room en the 11 wr and In the
gallery waa at a premium. Ne Mich remark
able Interest was ever manifested In a state
convention, but at tbe aame time tbere la
very little entbutlastn. Although a long
time elapted before the opening proceeding
net an cttert was made le ralse a oheer for
the nominee or any one else.
It was hair past ten. o'clock When Chair
man Husten, of the state committees called
the convention te order. Before he could
ay anything the ohalrmen of a dozen dele
gation were en their feet clamoring tbat
seats were occupied by unauthorized parties.
The sergeant at-arms waa Instructed te re
move tbe interlopers and te clear the aisles.
Great confusion prevailed for seme time.
Futile efforts were made te dear the hall.
Finally Senater Dresser declared the ball
was packed and moved adjournment until
2 p. in, Thla was voted down. Then con
fusion became confounded and the conven
tion was turned Inte a bear garden. Tbe
chair rapped vainly for order until at last a
resolution wax adepted Instructing the
chairmen of the various county commutes
te proceed te scrutinize the various delega
tion and determine who were Interloper.
After halt an hour wasted in thla way
without result, another motion te adjourn
waa defeated In the midst of great con
fusion, I'HAYKit roi.r.ewa a rumpus.
Her. K. P. Whalen waa Introduced te
open tbe proecodlnga with prayer, This
had a seething effect, and when he conclu
ded n resolution Inviting General Harrison
te vUlt tbe convention was adopted with a
whoop. Hen. R. W. Thompeaon, 12. P.
Hammen and Jebn W. Ltnck, were ap
pointed te escort him from hta home,
The report of the credentials oemmlttoo
showed that all tbe counties were repre

organization was dispensed with and per
manent organization waa quickly effected,
with Congressman W. U. Calkins aa chair
man, and Senatar Donieit aa prlnelpal sec
rotary. Hen. Thoe. H. Nelsen, et Terre
Haute, and Qen. James M. bhackcllud, of
Eyanavllle, were aoleeted aa presidential
electors at large.
Upen taking the ebalr Mr, Calklna was
received with loud applause. The greater
part et hla apoeoh was devoted te recount
ing the history et the Republican parly and
Its legislation. The teniperanoe question,
he said, would beaettled in quick order In
tbla state by local option and high license.
He paid a brlef tribule te Harrison and
Morten and prophealed victory for thorn.

and expressing the opinion tbat the Re

The platform closed with a greeting te

At this point tbe commlttes returned

haggard and fatigued. Time and again he
cenayed te speak, but the applause wai re ro re

Quiet was finally restored. Gen, Harri

and dramatic effect. He said bis reception
crowned a long series cf trlendlyactH en the
part of bis neighbors. Te have ll:U act of
confidence was very grate'ul te him, te be
worthy of It was the hlhrnt ambition be
could set before himself. Whatever might
befall him be felt that his fellow

Chicago they sent him greetings and well

te Sheridan and closed abrutly without
any roftrence te national or state Issues,
Tnere was renewed applause as he retired
fnrn the hall.
Nominations were then announced as

of " Perter " went up from tbe fleer, came
down from the galleries and was repeated
again and again. Delegate Uanna, of Fert
