Shortly before 12 o'clock 011 last Thursday night at his home three miles west of Ryan occurred the death of James McElliott, one of the most highly respected citizens of Delaware county. Although in failing health for sometime, hiscon dition did not become serious until three weeks before his death. James McElliott was born in county Clare, Ireland, December 25. 1828, thus leaving him at his death 76 years old. I11 1849 he joined the navy and did valiant service in the Crimean war. After leaving the navy he took a cruise in South Amer ican waters and afterward came to Chicago. In 1857 he moved to Iowa and settled in Delaware county, where on June 12th, 1857 he was united in marriage to Miss Ellen Behan, who, together with eight children are left to mourn his death. They are J. R. McElliott, Patrick, William, James, Dave, Tim, Mrs. N, Weilerand Mary McElliott. The deceased was a man of many noble traits of character, ever ready to aid the needy- none sought assis tance from him in vain. His hon esty and integrity were never brought into question. He had a smile and cheerful word for every one, and the memory of his many good deeds will remain fresh in the minds of his friends even though his voice iB stilled. He was a devout member of the Catholic church and always adhered strictly to its teach ings. His seventy-six years of life were spent in well doing,- and it is the sincere hope of tho-writer that he is now reaping his reward in Heaven. The funeral was held Saturday morning at the Belmont church and was one of the largest over held there. Solemn high mass was cele brated with Rev. Connery, celebrant Rev. Drummy, deacon Rev. Nolan, sub-deacon Rev. Ryan, master of ceremonies. Rev. W. J. Drummy delivered the sermon and paid a fit tiii£ tribute to his memory. The entire community sympathizes with the family in their sorrow. 1 ALLEN, The following acted as pall bear ers: Honorary—S. Robinson, P. Don nelly, M. O'Hara, P. Devine, P. Behan and D. Behan.

Editor Manchester Democrat: Judging from reports, agriculturally speaking things in Delaware County Iowa, are very promising. Our old friend Robert Barr writes me their potatoes are lighting for room to grow and corn is growing so fast, it roars so at night that he can't sleep. The suckers aro moro inclined to beliovc llsli and snake stories than crop reports. Possibly, if someone would find Robert a per manent housekeeper, one lo call his, the size of tho potatoes and the nightly roar of the corn would not in the least disturb his peaceful slumber. Some of our crop reports are too optimistic and misleading to those unacquainted with real conditions why Buch are sent for publication I am unable to say, unless the repor ters are bears on the market, don't know what they are talking about, intentionally aim to deceive. From eary in tho spring until tho 1 X\X\./ July we had entirely too muQT rain consequently much of orn was planted late and it was impossible to cultivate it as it should be done. Therefore quite a per cent, of tho com in Pike and Adams counties is very grassy and weedy, and ranges from one foot to five tall and not of thrifty color. It is true we have considerable heavy corn, but when I consider all things pertaining to the crop I would not like to estimate above 75 per cent, at best and it may fall short of that. What is true of the counties I have mentioned will prove true of several counties in the state. The Missis sippi and Illinois bottoms ar? the Egypt of Illinois for corn and it is upon them the prospect is gloomy. Shallow cultivation to make .a dust mulch, as advocated by the new school of corn raisers was 110 good this season. Our wheat was pocr, from 5 to 15 bushels, pasture, oats, potatoes and all kinds of garden truck good, berries and small fruit scarce. No peaches and alight crop of apples. Timothy and clover from last spring seeding a good stand, hay crop the best we have had for several years and with three weeks without rain enabled us to secure it in good con dition. Being a democrat, of course I am generous enough to credit tho re publican party with all the prosper ity we can justly claim, for it is a noted fact that they claim to be the prosperity makers and credit the Supreme Being and the democrats with the adversity. Their prosper ity claim is disputable. Mr. Roose velt in his euphonous vote catching speech to the notification committee said "we fit the deed to the word: we favor changing the tariff schedule as the business of the country de mands it we think the change should be made by .the friends of the tariff and not its enemies." I ask how long it would take a den of thieves to make a complete reforma tion while they were finding plenty to steal? If there were no extrinsic influence brought to bear upon them they never would reform, so it is with the friends of the high tariff. They will never make any great changes, if any, until they become its enemies, or are actually driven to it, then they would begrudgingly forsake it, like the thief his pilfer ing. History proves their deeds fitting other things better than their words. Not many years ago they promised full dinner pails and steady employment, now I suppose the deed is being fitted to the word in Chi cago by 25,000 men out of work dinner pails empty and their famil ies procuring sustenance from relief stations. The deed made a close fit in the Colorado mines, it also fits at Joe Leiter's mine at Zeigler, 111., 30 000 at Fall River Mass. trying to fit the deed to the republican word and 00,000 at Pottsville, Pennsylvania, besides thousands of railroad men and factory hands discharged. If a high protection tariif lias increased the business of the country and is prosperity maker as they claim it is why not hold to it and let it con tinue to increase our business? We can rest assured they will do the former until they will have to make a change or be defeated. The trust hog of the republican breed fur nishes too much fat for campaign purposes to buy the floating vote that neither has honor nor character to ever think the business of the country will demand a lower tariff. A high protective tariff does just two things, it lowers the price of raw material and increases the price of the manufactured article: hence it makes the laboring man's living cost more and it hurts the farmer two ways, one on what he sells and the other on what he buys. If the farmer was only a producer his bur den would be lighter, but ho is heavy consumer of things he does not produce. Some years ago could buy lumber at Hannibal for §12.50 per thousand, today tho same grade would cost $20. could go to Quincy and get wagon for §55, now I would have to pay $00, barb wire that I used buy for $2.15 to $2.25 will now cost about $3.40. to say nothing of the increased price upon numerous other articles the farmer has to bay, It is plain to be seen that the farmer gets no benefit from a high tariff, Twenty years ago I could hire good farm hand with a family for $20 per month, furnish him a house fire wood, garden, truck patch and cow to milk, now I am giying the same favors and paying $25 per month. The curious might ask my hired man sets a better table, dresses better and has any 11101-0 ahead at the end of the year than the man who worked for $20. I answer no, because the extra pricc he has to pay for what he buys ab sorbs the extra wages he is receiving, consequently he is 110 better off working for $25, than the man wlio worked for $20. That is wherein the tariif is so delusive to many la boring men, they merely consider the wage side of the business and not the buying. If the farmers and laboring men receive no benefit, where do the profits go that accrue MMMMhm .*-1 from our present tariif system? Right into tho coffer of tho trust magnate, the gentleman who lias the sack held for the toilers and pro ducers to till. No wonder some become millionyres in a few years. No wonder strife berween labor and capital never was as great or serious as now. Our high protective tariff is a legalized fraud. It robs tho home farmer and benefits foreigners.

All or nearly all of those articles— plows, cultivators, harrows' planters, drills, liocs, shovels, axes, wrenches, scales, saws, barb wire, wire nails etc.—ate sold at greatly reduced prices in foreign countries. Our farmers, when tliey sell wheat in England, compete with the wheal from Argentine and Australia. Our wheat glowers are greatly handi capped in this competition by three facts: 1st. Tliey have to pay about 25 per cent, moro for their imple ments and tools, all made in Amer ica, than is paid for these same im plements and tools by their foreign competitors 2nd. They have to bear the burden of other protective tariif taxes which unnecessarily in crease the cost of living and of pro ducing wheat 3rd. The railroads over which our farmers must ship heat pay about 25 per cent, more for steel rails and many other ma terials than than is paid for these nme materials, all made in Amer ica, by the railroads over which tho heat of Argentina and Australia are shipped. As if this were not a sufficient handicap upon our farmers, is now proposed by political states men in control of tho party of this ridiculous system of protection, to further tax our farmers to provide subsidy for ships. Should subsidy prevail and this new tax be levied, as is promised by the republicans, American built ships drawing heavy subsidy, might replace the foreign ships now engaged in trade batween this and foreign countries. These foreign ships, in search for cargo, would look to other countries, such as Australia and Argentine Repub lic, competition in the ocean carry ing of the grains and meats of those countries would bo very great and ould result in benefit to the farmers of those countries. Our farmers are foolish to support a system of pro tection, which operates to then* dis advantage, as compared with their foreign competitors, in producing and transporting products by land they will be absolute chumps if they ote to tax themselves still more in order to give their foreign compet itors an advantage in ocean trans portation.
