A Telling Picture

In the last Puck is a two-page campaign cartoon by Dalrymple. In the scène ave shown a farm-house, a barn and many objects of use to the farmer. From the house flies a red flag with the legend: "To be sold for taxes - Farm, etc" Against the barn is posted a paper with "Preserve the tariffthat makes you rich ;" and another poster with the words, "Vote tor Harrison and Free Whiskey." Here are some of the objects in the picture, each being tagged as follows : Farmers' Nceessaïcs. Tax. Shingles on barn 35c per 1000 Weiitlierboardiug $2 per lUOOlt Pump 45 percent Tin cup on top of pump 45 percent Plow - 45 percent Hoe 45 per cent Kuke 45 per cent Cow salt block (salti 12c. per 100 lbs M ilk-paii 46 per cent Sorews 12c.

Then comes the following short, sharp and decisive dialogue: Protectionists Orator - "Look aiound you my friend, and reHect that you owe the magnificent prosperity which we enjoy to our glorious protective tariff." Disgusted Farmer - "Johnny get your gun, get your gun !" Climax ! - [Philadelphia Record.]
