Census Enumerator Needs Cash.
3Jyack, N. Y., July 12. Census
eDnjjjerator3 all over the country
still waiting for Uncle Sain to com
pensate them for their services will
liable to sympathize deeply with
William Grant, of Rockland
county, who has written to Census
gaervisor James Kilby of this dis
trict complaining oi the delay. The
letter which reached Mr. Lilby to
day H5:
tXow that all the danger frcm
Riley's comet has passed and The
odore is home again, I would most
respectfully inquire if the govern
ment can spare the small amount
due me for my services as an inter
rogation point during March and
April. If they really need it, I
can wait a little longer but my wife
is arranging for the celebration of
onr silver wedding in the fall and
will need it by then. She be
lieves now that I have received it
and have blown it in, and nothing
but sight of the check will convince
her.
"We had figured on using the
money for a trip to the seashore
this summer but the figures were
wrong and now we expect to get it
in time to buy furnace coal next
winter. For the love of God call
an extra session of congress or some
thing and get it through. If they
can't spare the cash, tell them to
seud two cent stamps for I would
like to have some good of it before
the family has to use it for a white
tombstone to put over the of yours
truly."
Returns Stolen Money.
Sergeant Jap Pendergrast got a
letter in which a man had sent him
twenty cents, which he said he had
stolen from the officer seven years
ago". The sender explained that he
had recently gotten religion and
could not keep the money in peace,
so he was returning it to the . man
he had -robbed.
The jergant did not even know
that the man had gotten any mon
ey from him and was very much
surprised that he should be getting
mQney through mail and still more
so when he found the explanation.
He will not spend that twenty
cents, but wili keep it as a souve
nir of the eternal fact that mankind
is not totally depraved and for the
other important reason that makes
a negro carry the left hind foot of
a molly - cotton - tail. Durham
Herald.
The Farmer and the Tariff.
In the House of Representatives
a few days ago Congressman Mar
tin of South Dekota compared the
advanteous position of the farmer
now with what his position was in
1897 under theoyeration of a Demo
cratic Tariff law.
He showed that a bushel of corn
in 1897. would purchase 7 pounds
of sugar; now it will purchase 16
pounds of sugar. He followud this
with other comparisons. Twelve
yeais ago a bushel of corn would
purchase 5 gallons of illuminating
oil; uow it will purchase tl gallons.
Expressed in purchasing value in
conee, in 1897 a bushel of corn
would purchase 3 pounds ot coffee
now it will purchase 9 pounds of
coffee. A. bushel' of corn in 1897
would purchase 18 pounds of barb
ed wire with which to fence in the
farm; to day it will purchase 33
pounds. ' The average hog in 1S97
would buy 65 gallons of, iluminat
ing oil: now it will buy 139 gallons,
In 1897 the hog bought 42 pounds
of coffee; ' now it will buy 116
pounds of coffee. In 1897 it would
buy227 pounds of barbed wire,
now it will buy 387 pouues, -
The steadfasst claim of believers
in the Protective Tariff always has
been that it would benefit the farm
er at .least as much as any other
member of the community by ' raa-
,king for him a market in which he
would be able to sell his products
near at hand, at good prices, in
stead of being obliged to send the
bulk of them across the sea, to com
pete with the offerings from other
countries in a foreign market. The
advantages of the home market to
the farmer was not overestimated
nor overstated.
The American farmer owes a
great del to the Tariff, and would
be a serious loser if the Tariff were
blunderingly altered. Milwaukee

The Cow.
The dairy cow, if able to express
herself in a way which the human
family would comprehend, might
well lay claim to being man's best
friend. She might establish such a
claim by calliug attention to the fact
that from her product and from her
carcass man manufactures more of
the necessities of life than from any
other similar source. She' furnishes
these necessities to him from infancy
until such a time as temporal things
are no longer associated with his ex
istance, and she does it ungrudgingly
and constantly.
In addition to contributing to
man's necessity and his pleasure, the
prosperity of an agricultural com
mimitv is more closely indentified
with her than with any other of the
domestic animals. The horse is quite
essential in tilling the soil, but where
necessity requires it the sturdy son
of the cow can take his place, as he
has done in every agriculturol sec
tion on earth. The horse can only
furnish labor and can only return a
profit to his owner when conditions
are right for returning satisfactory
grain crops. - It is a well known
fact that the dairy cow is the salva
tion of the farmer in times of poor
crops as she is able to convert the
rough crops which are never a total
failure, into dairy products which
always have a cash value. .
In addition to this she furnishes
skim milk and butter milk for the
calves, pigs and poultry and fertility
for the soil, without which a farm
becomes less valuable each year and
the whole country less prosperous.
The elimination'of the dairy cow
! would necessitate an almost revoluti-
! onary readjustment of man's tastes
and requirements. It would mean
i untold suffering and hardship. Of
' course she will not be dispenseb with
I but her value can perhaps best be ap
l predated by contemplating such h
loss. -
j She will continue to be man's best
j friend as long as the human family
I exists and will keep on supplying him
j with his greatest needs just as she
(has done through all the ages. x
No matter how glaring the fault,
don't make the mistake of thijk
ing that your dearest friend would
appreciate having it pointed out to
him.
