uThe Wings are in favor of such measures Of public
policy as will insure home market for tho agricultural
products of the country and, the time, induce
the manufacture Of all articles OF prime necessity IN our
own country Journal
In other words, we suppose, the Wings in favor
of such tariff as will effectualy prohibit the importa-
ton of foreign goods and compel the people Of this coun-
try whether willing to do so or not, to manufacture
every article Of domestic use, though the cost OF
such manufactured goods should be double the price oil
the imported The next step in Wing policy, then, will
of course be direct tax upon the people for the sup
port Of the Government for if their tariff rotons should
prevail revenue could be derived from other source
With increased price upon every article Of manuiac
ture and direct for the support Of the government
we presume the turner's would soon become tired o
Wing policy if it should prevail. of which there is not
now the remotest probability.

To Compute Interest.

A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun communicates
the following simple plan for computing interest az 6
per per for any number of days, which he
learned, he says twelve years ago:
'DvIde the number of days by six, and multiply the
dollars by the dividend the result is the interest in deci
mails; off the right hand figure and You have it in
dollars and cents Thus-What is the interest Sl00
for twenty.one daysl 81 divided by is 81 100 multi
piled by 81 is $50 or 50 Again:-What is the
interest 1913 for hnety three days7 S36-154: Six
l5l-5,S5 or $3.50 9l0. Let book-keepers try this
rule, and they will find that it is no humbug."
We find the above paragraph in the Washington Re-
public.
There is a simpler method in use better, be-
it avoids the necessity of multiplying by fractions
1t is Multiply the dollars by the days and divide the
product by six then cutting of the right hand figure
the result is the interest IN dollars and cents
