What the Republican Party Has Done for
Protection In the Interest of
the Country and Its
Citizens.
In the early stages of the Republic all classes,
all sections, and all parties were earnestly for
aprOtective tariff on foreign imports, for the pur
pose of encouraging and fostering the establish
ment and permanent maintenance of domestic
production. This was inherent in the spirit of
the revolution, which was as much melted by
the despotic repression of the colonial indus
tries, In order 10 give the permanent control of
the American markets to British manufactures,
as by any other cause. Among the first fruits
of the protective policy was the American cot
ton crop, which was fairly protected into ex-
istence But as in the lapse of time the Repub-
lie became populous and flourishing, and the
amazing spread of cotton culture made it the
basis of the formidable political power which
subsequently assumed the name of the Demo-
cratic party, a combination of the strong for
eign commercial element at New York with the
southern agricultural force was formed, the in
terest of which lay in opposing the protection
of domestic manufactures a. favoring a low
tariff on foreign goods, on the ground of fur
nishnS the farmers and planters with cheap

Buddhists,

We hear, not infrequently, the age of creed
and the number of its believers used as an ar
gllment for It's truth The Roman Catholics
are much addicted to this sort of logic, and
some of the Protestant sects try to lord 1t over
others for similar reason. But if age and the
number of believers only be taken into account,
the Buddhist faith has more to commend II
than any Christian form of worship. 1t has
existed nearly $500 years, and its adherents
are estimated in round numbers at 4OO,OOOOOO
more than onc.third of the whole human
race. Originating in Hindostan, it now has
little hold there, except among the Nepouesc
but it is generally held in Ceylon and through
out the entire Eastern peninsula. 1t divides
China with the systems of Contuelus and Lao
tse, claiming perhaps two-thrds of the people
it prevails in Japan-though not the establish
ed religion hit is the creed of Thibet, north OF
the Himalayas, in the form of Lamaism, and
is the religion of the MOngollans of Central
Asia; it extends to the northern part Of Sbe
ria and into Swedish Lapland Only within
the last IS years has anything trustworthy
been known of Buddhism in Europe. Eugene
Burnouf's publication QS44) of his "lntroduc
ton to the History of Buddhism" was the be
ginning of anything like correct Information
on the subject among the Western nations
So much has been translated from the Sans
crit sacred books, and SO much written or
them recently, that Buddhism is as well un
derstood at present as many OF the more mod
ern creeds.

Preparc the cuttings of II convenient length
for handling (say about ten lnchcS( says the
F,y,jf R,cor,lgr. of last wears wood. Let the
lower end be cut off smoothly Just below the
bud Cut the top end about an inch above Il
bud After a little practice, 1t VIII be no trou-
bic to follow this rule, and one will always be
able to distinguish the top and bottom ends OF
the cuttings nj sight, Grape-cuttings on this
plan should contain from two to tour buds.
Tie the cuttings in bundles about three inches
in diameter with willow twigs or small wire,
that will not rot in the dirt. Make the butt
end of the bundle even and tie tightly. Heel
in the cuttings in dry, mellow ground with the
butt ends of the bundles up and the top ends
down. Cover the pile from from tour 10 SIN
inches deep with mellow earth pat down
smoothly, and administer . good drenchlng OF
water Then cover the bed with manure fresh
from the stable deep enough to prevent lreeZ-
ing during winter
On the approach of warm weather, when the
frost has all left the ground and night iros's
have nearly ceased take oil the manure, Out
do not disturb the earth or cuttings. Let the
cuttings remain well covered with earth, to
keen them moist, while the surface Of the COW
ering is gradually warmed by the sun from
uay to day After mos, other spring work Is
done examine your beds; and when the buds
are well swollen so that very careful handling
is necessary to prevent damage then raise ana
set out the cuttings IN fine mellow soil. Set
them deep enough so that the top bud will be
lust at the surface of the ground and so that a
mulch of chaff, sawdust, or cutstraw will hide
1t. This treatment ofCuttings should be begun
early in the fall and it will be perceived that
we have used bottom heat all the time-first
manure and second the sun. And generally It
will be found that our cuttings become well
rooted and all are likely to grow, if handled
carefully The setting should be done from a
pail partly filled with tepid water
Any person wishing to commence the treat
ment in spring should begin it at the earliest
moment that digging can be done. In all cases
the cuttings should remain in the bed as late
in the season as they can be handled without
destroying the buds. twill always be found
that the butt ends are more advanced than the
top ends Great care must be taken to pre-
serve the roots and the bud at the top end.
We never propagate the pear, apple, plum
peach, or cherry from cuttings Ounces
gooseberries, currants, and many other plants
are easily grown from cuttings. Apple trees
are propagated by root grating.

A Rochester Union correspondent, writing
from Clyde, to the western part of that state
says: "'rhe apple crop in this section promises
TO be larger this season than that of any former
season within the remembrance Of the 'oldes
inhabtant' We are informed that in many
orchards the trees are breaking down undeI
the immense weight of fruit upon them, ant
that many farmers have been to considerable
expense in propping up the heavily-lader
limbs of their apple,trees-work they were new
cr before compelled to do. There is something
remarkable in the present apple crop; ant
that is the fact that, in view of the immense
numbers of apples on the trees, there are Sc
few windtalls. The high winds Of the pas
week brought down but little fruit compared
with what is on the trees, We have hear(
some farmers account for this on the grount
that only small proportion of the crop is fly
stunk, and that it is only these that fall Oft, whit
those remaining on the trees are sound ant

Any good, mild favored apple can be con
verted into an excellent beverage. To make "a
choice article the apples should be ripe and
sound freed from stems and leaves; and, when
ground, the pomace should lie in the vat from
eighteen 10 twenty-tour hours. This gives u

cellar Take out the bung and keep the caSk
full; let it work half the usual time, then bung
tight and let il stand Il few days. Then draw
of the cider from the sediment which lies in
the bottom of the cask. If you desire drink
of extra fine, return the cider after the cask
has been well washed out, let it remain few
days, then repeat the process, and after the
sediment has the second time all been removed,
fill up the barrel and cork up tight. This ci-
der, in this condition, will keep one year. Or,
to convert 1t into sparkling drink, good
champagne cider, or VINE cider, bottle 1t up
with good corks in common bottles as soon as
the second draught is made, and expose il to
the light and air as little AS possible if you
wish to retain the gases and the lite of the ar.
ticle Add one good raisin to each bottle and
drink at your leisure. This makes u pleasant,

sparingly for several meals. 1t should be used

life principles are destroyed. Other nostrums
should be avoided, such as some use to keep
the cider plain and sweet. Bottled cider should

Some careful and thorough experiments by
q Western farmer show that the manure of 4
cOrnfcd hog is worth IA half Il cent for every
pound of corn consumed. THIS is equivalent
to 90 cents bushel or $40 per ton, as the
manurial value for corn, in addtiC to its feed
ing value In one of his experiments, which
from the precision of its figures, must have
been very accurately performed, he found that
thirty.five pounds of feed given to an Essax
pig in one week cost 81 cents, and produced
manure worth 4l31 cents. Such result as
this is very remarkable, and, if confirmed by
further trials, would tend 10 show that all oul
previous conceptions of the value OF animal
dung have been far below the mark.

Wonders OF the New Electrical Machine,

A New York paper describes the electric
machine called the telemachan, now being eX,
perlmentcd upon by VIM. Wallace, of Ansonia,
Conn, and says: "By means OF it power may
be obtained from places where river power or
tidal power is rs cheap Us abundant or 1t may
be generated where fuel is as cheap as at the
coal mines, and by means of an ordinary cable
be transmitted hundreds of miles; the cable
may be tapped at any point and power used
therelrom. Some notice of the stupendous re-
suits that may follow should the telemachon
prove completely successful is given in the OPP
inion of Prof. c. W. Semens, of the Royal
Society Of Great Britain, who recently visited
this country In "A recent address in Glasgow he
SAID that in England means OF transmitting
power by electricity must soon be the important
problem Of the day.
What are the English people to do when
their coal is exhausted? OfAmerca and her
great water courses he said: The amount OF
water falling over Niagara is equal to 100000
600 tons an hour, falling $50 feet. The amount
of coal required annually to raise such a
weight up to the point from which 1t fell, which
is measure of the amount of power yielded
by that water in falling would require the con
sumption of 260, 000 900 of tons Of coal year
which is the amount now consumed by the en-
tire world. Now If fifty per cent of the
power used to drive the first dynamo electric
machine may be recovered from the second
and hence ifthc whole power of Niagara could
be utilized it could be distributed over the
United States so rs to give from that waterfall
