The formal openiogofUieWorld'* Exposition M Kef Orleans will oo- our at noon on Thursday, Deoem- comber 16th. One hnndred thous and feet of exhibiting space has been added to the original plan, and yet the demand for space is larger than the accommodations. The Hon. Samuel J. Randall is the first Presidential candidate in the field for 1888, a club In New Oastle, Pai, haring Just been or ganued to push his name in that connection. In political matters however, It Is not always the e.rly bird that catches the worm. i farmer Who Wanted Cold reels, Canton, III., February 3.—Edl- tor Chihago Tribune: 1 bare just had an argument with some pro, tectionists about the amount of tax farmers, bare to pay on their goods of different kinds. I contended that nearly all the exports of 1111, uois were non protected products, because their price was fixed by foreign-markets, but that the im ports of Illinois were all either f irotectcd goods or foreign-mode mported articles—I suppose in the aggregate abO'dt four dollars of the former to one of the latter. If I am right in this estimate, then for every dollar we of this State pay to the governmest in the shape of duty on foreign goods, we pay (4 in the shape of bounty to the east ern manufacturers on the stuff we buy from them. Now, will the Tribune be so good as to state bow much tax is on eaoh of the articles a farmer’ll family must. boy. .1 wish to get some definite notion of bow much tribute we pay to the eastern manufactur ers for the support of their “infant industries." 1 believe this tribute is the money that is called by the soft, persuasive and patriotic- sounding term, “protection of American industry." Pleaso givo us the cold faots to pasto in our hats, Aoricola. Rifly The cold facts may give our grangor readers a chill colder than the frosty weather does, unless perchance their indig nation should warm them up. Wo will classify s-few ot the items of the expenditure of an Illinois farm er's family, with the amount per cent, of tax It pays either to the government or thearticlo imported or to tbo manufacturer if produced in the Eastern States : TAXXS ON AN ILLINOIS K1TCHKN. l'er cent.

Carpet, If made of dniggete 74 Carpets, If made of tapestry says—that four-fifths of tbeie taxes go not into Uncle Sam's pocket, bnt into the wallets of tiie eastern protected classes. And this sys tern of robbery of the western un protected agricultural states fur the enrichment of the eastern protect ed sections will continue substanti ally aa it is until the farmers rise in tbeir strength and say to their members in Congress: “This rob bery bas gone far enough; we want a new deal. We want to be placed on a footing of equality with the community. We want these swind ling burdens removed; we tmvc stood tbom long enough.” When the farmers talk in this way to their congressmen, and mean it, relief will be given; the iniquities of the tarifl will be cut out and tbo system ot taxation reformed, but uot be fore, as the eastern manufacturers rule the western members of Con gress for some inscrutable reason. —Chicago Tribune. A proment member of the Ten nessee bar was arrested the other day in one of tbc cities of the west ern portion of the State. He came in such qiistionablc shape in the carelessness of his attire that lie was taken for a tramp by one of the loca conservators of the place. IIOLIIKS' M HI.
