SAN. CAREY, in one of his dema-
gogical appeals to an Ohio Democratic
audience, selected n working man
from his audience and declared to
him that he, the working man, paid a
greater tax every year to the Govern
ment than a. r. Stewart, the great
merchant prince OF the Western
World. The Cincinnati Commercial,
noticing this false statement and its
evident purpose, says that A. I.
Stewards personal tax bills for the
past three years have been as follows

THE NASHVILLE CON~OLIDA.
lION.

As business enterprise as well rs
matter Of policy. the consolidation
of the Nashville dailes. the Union
md dmericG and the Banner was a
wise measure. Without in any meas.
ure endorsing the politics of either
paper, we will say that as first class
newspapers they'were not surpassed
in any city, of n like population, in
the land, They were wide awake and
enterprising in the highest degree.
They were edited with an ability far
above the average. Yct,with all this.we
do not suppose that they made money
in proportion to the amount of capital
invested in. and the amount of labor
beloved upon them. Separate, they

dated, with the capital, the energies
and labor of the two combined, they
will certainly pay, and will be the
equals Of any papers published south
of the Ohio river. Financially, we
expect the new paper, composed of
the two old ones, to succeed. As the
organ Of the Democratic party, one
strong one will prove more eilicacious
than two week ones. This is the way
we regard it. But Notwithstanding
this increase of strength we will
stand as before, ever ready to defend
the principles Of our party, even
though they be assaulted by this heavy
ordnance.
But we did not set out to write
about this. The tendency of the day
is towards consolidation and cutting
down expenses. This is 50 in all
business enterprises, and why not III

strong, Independent newspaper is
worth a score Of half supported, half
starving journals that must be kept
up by loans and contributions from
Tom, Dick and Harry. A paper
can not be Independent under
such circumstances. 1t would be
much better for the country
and for the credit of the
press if there were only one newspa
per where there are now a half doz

commend the course OF our Nashville
contemporaries, not that we would

Showing an increase Of currency
since 1865 Of Sl36,2lG,317.
Mr.. Pendleton, young Green
backs" as he is called IN Ohio, in his
first speech claimed that in 1865 we
had S2,1OO,OOO,OO0, but now he has
already come down to Si,OOO,OOO,OOO.
On this subject the statements of
Gen. Garfield, for many years one of
the leading Representatives in Con-
gress, and as familiar with financial
questions as any man in Congress,
are worth as much as Mr.. Pendleton' S
or Mr.. Brighcs. Gen. Garfield, in a
recent speech in Ohio, said:
The declaration OF Messrs Ewing, Cary,
Kelley, and others that the present distress
was C sed by recent contraction Of the
curreu y is ouspicuou-ly untrue. In Sep
TENDER, 1873, there was more currency in
circulation than at any time for several
years previous.
"An increase Of paper money precedes
all our crises. Itdisturbs values, promotes
speculation and oyer-trading, hastens a
crisis, and aggrayates its effects. In the
three years which preceded the crash OF
1887, the bank note circulation was in
creased nearly fifty per cent. It rose from
S95OOOOOO in 1884 to $4,000 900 in 1887.

Good Care for Dairy Cows.

Very few dairylnen have any idea of how
greatly the yield Of cows may be increased
by better feed and care We think II a great
folly for men, who are making only one hun
dred to one hundred and twenty-five pounds
of butter per COW, to try to increase their
product by the introduction of Ayrshire or
Jersey blood. There is no common herd, Sc
leoted with the ordinary skill that every
dairyman should possess, that will not give
one hundred and fifty pounds of butter and
upwards to a COW, if they are properly taken
care of. The improved breeds and their
grades are no better, ii as good, than com
mon stock, under neglect and poor feed
ing. A correspondent in an exchange says !;
I" have made one thousand pounds Of good
butter in a season from -four cows, and not
one of them was registered or had fashion
able pedigree, or was bought for price to
exceed $780," and adds, 9" In my own expert
ence, when have bought cows of stingy
feeders, they have nearly doubled their pro-
duct, and that, too, without the aid of warm
or steamed food" Such has been the ex-
perience of not few A man once Dragged
that he had sold us the poorest COW in his
herd. She was a small and timid heifer,
and was mastered by nearly every other in
an ill-kept herd that averaged little if any
over one hundred pounds to COW. That
heifer now makes over three hundred pounds
year. A test of her milk, few days ago,
gave twenty-five and a half ounces Of butter
from day product How could such a man
tell whether he cheats another when he sells
him cow, or not 7 His strong holt" is

4 knowing Turtle.

In certain town in Connecticut a man
had planted His garden, and very near the
water was a bed Of cucumbers, In the brook
there, close by, large turtle made his home,
and he would frequently stay for hours on a
large rock to sun himself. Now this turtle
liked cucumbers as well as boys and girls
like peaches. Every night he would 60 out
among the vines, and make his supper from
the fruit. Every morning the owner Of the
garden went out, and found his best oucum-
bers, which he intended for his own dinner,
eaten This displeased him very much. lie
set traps, but that did no good for the old
turtle that knew enough TO pick out the best
cucumbers for his supper, knew enough TO
keep out of traps. The man put up "scare-
crows !" but the turtle wasn't afraid. Every
night he went out Of his mud-house, by traps
and under scare-crows, and Toasted till he
could eat no more. But one morning he
stayed too late. Mr.. Wilson, who owned the
garden, arose very early, and there he saw
the thief scratching his way to the brook as
fast as his scaly claws could carry him.
Mr.. Wilson saw he must catch the turtle
or lose his cucumbers. lie watched for him
very closely the next night, and just as he
was enjoying juicy mouthful, he put his
foot under him and turned him over on his
back. The old fellow clawed and struggled,
and snapped with his scissors-like jaws; but
it was OF no use. lie had been stealing too
long to get away easily. Mr. Wilson put
him into barrel, wondering what he should
do with him.
The next day, as Mr.. Wilson was going
to drive over TO the store in the ncighboring
town, he thought lac would put the trouble
some turtle into his wagon, and carry him oil,
Now he had read of peoples cutting letters
on the back of turtles and letting them 60,
finding them again after many years. lie
thought he would try it, So lac took his
knife, and cut A. W. in the turtles back.
And he cut "square aud compass under
his initials. lie was sure he should know
that turtle If he ever saw him again. Then
OFF be drove, with his prisoner at his feet, in
basket. When he got about seven miles
from home, he came to a bridge which
crossed river. Here he stopped and
threw Mr.. Turtle into the water saying; 81
guess you will not steal out of my garden
again very SOON"
Nothing more was seen or heard Of the
turtle that year. But the next season Mr..
w. was in his garden one day, and looking
into the brook, there, ON the stone watch
tower, was the old turtle again.
The very same; little larger than din
ing plate now, but with "A. W" and the
"square and compass ON his back.
Seven miles afoot Isn't that pretty well
for a turtle, boys Who taught him to love
his old home in the muddy brook Who
showed him the way back ? What kind OF
"guide-boards has God set up in the water
and the grass TO point out the road to turtles :

"TnE MER.'-The publisher of the
st. Johnsbury Farmer was very much dis
grunted at us for saying that people in
Vermont usually suppose, when they hear
the Farmer spoken of, that the Men England
Farmer is meant and we see that an old
friend and schoolmatc of Mr.. Cummings
(Nlr. L. p, Allen, Of st. Johnsbury) takes
the matter up in the last issue of his paper.
But the assertion made by US is strictly true,
according to our own experience. A dozen
times, at least during the past year. we have
found, in mentioning the Farmer meaning
Mr.. Cummings paper, that we were supposed
to be referring to the Neto England Farmer.
In time, no doubt, with good management,
this may be changed, but there is reason to
think that more than three-quarters OF the
farmers Of Vermont, have never yet seen
copy OF the Vermont Farmer. And the
chance Of its ever becoming known to them
is as much lessened by its being made, with
the mistaken idea, rs we think, OF increasing
its oirculation,) substantially a local paper,
with the usual agricultural department"
That department is now well conducted, but
there is no unity of tone in the paper, and
no sincerity in advocating the principles
upon which it was originally established,
and which gave it distinctive character and
field yet unoccupied by any other paper in
New England. There is yet fine opening
for true "iarmer's paper In regard to
the New England Farmer, we may add in
confirmation of what we have said of its
popularity in Vermont that in the last mum
