As I hav about a mub time now ss over, I wilt ntske a brief reply to your inqui ry as to bow free trade would afl.-ct plow factories, ft is charitable to suj -l'Mf that the (arty in Moline who wiote tl.at "free trade would wit from tb. lend .very tow fsrtoiy," is not a pljw manufacturer, for th.y ere oetter in loriii'tl. Tb i ow factories, aod in fact the manufacturer, of all kinds of implements, skip abroad in value one bundled dollars for every dollsrs' worth that Is imported. They reaei. no pro tection and datii. none. But every thing they export baa cost tbeui an ra ti pris. to manufaotur. by reason of tho kigh UritT ou the raw material used. T.ke our factory f r example. We b.vo now in tranait to I.-atUt, Kigtand, a abipmeot nf plow bottoms consigned to a msnufacturer of .team plows. W. have also a lot of cbillsd plow, and out ti v.tors in transit via New York for Mexico and South America, and we aell o n iutplemeula to Australia and New aland. Now, upon all these uoods we have paid protective duties on the aw materials in them, and besides tke frrikt to New York, we have to sottl pete with manufacturers of otker conn trie, who are not handicapped with irotrctive duties. We alo sell large qusnttties of our plows to Msnitobs, j and it so happens, to a plew meuufac 1 Hirer ,l f'anads, who r ins s branch house st Winnepeg, snd who also pre fers our good for their superior quality, though be has to ay on them a duty of 39 per cent, to Canada tariff cut lect ors.

I think I bate shown alote tlst taiilV hur'.s o. as exfNtrters and thai we get no benefit from it either directly or I indirectlv. Now to home trade. Our i custeraeis snd those who support us en-1 tirely are farmers. They are our only pop end sopatt, and uiuat be oar MaasWi Wbst helps tbem beJi ue, snd wbst hurts them hurts na. It ia ouc interest thst everything they buy, they should get st the lowest price, and that everything tbey have to sell they should get to msrket .1 tbe lowest rat. and gt the bigbeat possible price for it.

Tbey pay an average of about 50 per cent, increased price on everything tbey use and every thing tbsy wear, even when the., things are staples such as trace chain., all kinds of hardware snd wood, screens, blsnkets, clothing, bate and caps and boots aod shoes. When these earns farmers cue to sell tbeir oats, corn and wheat, tb.ir hogs, eattl aud sheep, do these protect ed manufacture! a pay tbess farmers any more for their produce than ths markets of the wot Id quote tkem stl They do not. Tbe only pretense pro tected monopolies bare for making tbe ariners pay this enormous tribute is, tbat tbey consume tbe farmer' produce and pay tbem a far better price than tbe farmer would otherwise get. To abow tbe utter fallacy of this argument, I will mention the fact tbat the protect ed Industrie, cf thix country employ less tban 7 per cent, of the population em ployed ia manufacturing ; tbat the em ployes of protected Industrie i do not constitute two per cent, of th. popula tion of tbe country, including and count ing tbeir families Tbe farmer can sell tbo produce and meat tbat these tao per cent, would consume anywhere out of tbia country st aa good a price ; or, if tbey bad to burn it, or even one tenth of tbeir producf , tbey would be better off, if by doing so tbey could buy what they required at about half price, or even ofle quarter less. Congress has no right to tax one aec tionof tbe country and to support snotb er. If the farmers can raise more tban .1 II . I S - 1.1 tuey can ben, iney nave to now it or sell i; fjr fuel. If tbe crop does not bring enough to pay tbe cost of raising, congrass never comes to tbe aid of tbe farmer with a subsidy. Those who run protected industries are constantly st i-brifd with tbeir operatives, and tbe lat ter are demanding some portion ot the "boaunes" granted them, but rarely get it, except temporarily. They aie gen erally in a destitute condition. This matter of protection has so growu and fattened oil' tbe customers, that tbe du ties are demanded as s right and not aa a gift to a few monopolists. The farm ors are the great source of wealth to thia count ry. Tftey should see that they are no longer tobbrd an they bav. Wen. if taut i iiooee to y Penney I rani, or Msa.aulMis.tts largely increased Hoe for their protected gooda, (and they bate to pay fur their gooda juat as if they imported them,) let them under stand thst tboy pey thee, extra prices imply aa a charity, and not to help themselves. It the farmers would vole sgsiust.rCiy prelect ionist, no mstter what hi jolitio, they would soon see their rights recognised. With my best wiebes for the Pre.

J. lV.r ir, a mem. ber of the legislsture, with several accomplices, were tried and found guilty ; but hero political influence was brought to lesr, United State Senator Don Cameron leaving his seat in the Senate and going home to look after thinirr, asd they wrre FARD0XF.D.

She bought a fichu of black lace, a buuch of l'Vench flowers, a little twenty cent frame, and by tbe power of inven tion and handicraft she bad a thirty dollar bonnet with but nine dollar, outlay. In the matter of hats tbia eoaeon fanoy does pretty much as b like., turning the brims up or curling tbem down ; lining them with Wright color or giving tbem dark tone ; placing the whole wealth of floral decoration ou the outside or a portion beneath in the hair.
