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 :

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.

UNLIMITEDt'AI'ATAL AND UNQUESTIONABLE CREDIT,
Tottered and Fell in a Day!
•Specially was this true of many large and celebrated Clothing
manufacturers who had mode up numerous stocks from materi
als bought on credit. These manufacturers placed their faith
on lively and profitable September trade, absolutely relying on
it for funds to meet their maturing paper, which they had given ‘“cairffi^ourTru-c.nt Tnwei f„i lt
for piece goods, but the trade did not come, the continuous ■■
warm weather and no customers cooked their “goose,” nnd there
was nothing left for them to do but to fail and turn their goods
over to an Assignee. It was bad for them, but it is in your
power to make it good for you, for, as usual, when good goods
are to be sacrificed we are always on hand. Our Mr. Joe
Waxelbaum was there, nnd notwithstanding the fact that we
were already prepared with a stock of Seventy-Five Thousand
Dollars, we bought Thirty-Three Thousand more in Boys, Chil
