that with removal of duties on material
they could compete successfully in building
ships with any nation on earth. And these
men are nndoubted authority on such SUBJ
ject. At the same investigation well
known iron ship builder gave list Of arti-
cles used in constructing 1000 ton ship, ON
which the duties amounted to nearly 521,-
900. With such evidence as this can any
one doubt the ability Of American meehan-
les to build wooden or iron ships as cheaply
as England can. and carry frcights at as
low a rate?
1t is the duty of a government to eocour-
age and protect all the varied industries Of
the nation, seeking equity for all and avoid.
ing discrimination in favor of one or against
another. Our government can afford to be
just to great interest which has borne its
burden of the immense war debt. BY the
superb fiuancial skill Of Republican admin
istrations the United States is enjoying a
prosperity such as we never dreamed of fif-
teen years ago. This prosperity ought to be
used to strengthen the nation abroad. Every
ship that carries the American flag into a
foreign port is a silent demand for the re
spect of the world. An American marine
is necessity; it is an element Of prosperity
in peace; il can be instantly transformed in
to protector and vindicator Of our rights
in time Of trouble. The Republican party,
which is about to come into power again in
Congress, can afford, for its own sake, to
aid our ship building and our carrying trade
1t will not violate its declared principle of
protection by granting relief, but viii rather
fulfill its promise of promoting all branches
of American labor aad al our different IN
terests. BY lifting the burdens which we
have endeayored to recite it will dssemin-
ate the blessings of good government equally
and thwart the schemes of a clase Of men
who demand money directly from &C Treas
ury for their personal advantage.

ORCHARD AND NURSERY.

-f..' H-aa-
Trees planted this fall should
have earth drawn up around them,
making a mound II to Is inches in
height. It should be OF solid,
clean earth, free from al sods,
weeds, etc., or else it will furnish
winter home for mice. The mound
thus made serves a s5.double pur.
pose of a support to the young
tree against the winds Of winter,
and prevents mice from gnaWing
the tree. Rabbits can do much
harm to g. young orchard. When
the trees are few they can be pro-
tected by bands of cloth, or even
tarred paper. These pests have a
distaste for meat, and may be
kept away from the trees by rub.
bing them with flesh or smearing
the trunks with blood. Boys can
catch many of them by trapping,
and afford, what is TO: many an
acceptable variety for the table.
If the weather remains mild, and
the ground open, trees may be still
planted. South of the 10th 2parsl:
lei planting may be done during
the greater part of the winter.
Planting in the fall relieves the
pressure 9; spring work. Il the
ground is frozen, rather than place
the roots among frozen <clods it is;
better to heel-in the trees until
spring. The labels upon the trees
should be looked to. Never leave
the labels on the trees that are.
placed there in the nursery. They
are usually wired on tightly, and
are only intended to identify the
trees when received, and not for
permanent use. Unless labels are
we'll made and firmly fastened to
the trees, they are soon lost. The
old kind made Of pine, and marked
with a. rather hard4ead pencil upon
a fresh coat of white lead paint is
cheap and durable. Some prefer
zinc strips For orchards It sis:
best to have chart, with each
tree and its kind recorded, and
not trust at all to labels. = Cions
may be cut as soon as the leaves
fall packed sawdust or sand,
and putin a cool cellar until need
ed fos grating: Care should be
takensin selecting the cions, cut
ling. them onlyssfrom thrifty and
haalta5N trees, :is better to buy
cions than to use anyspoor ones.
Rootzgrafttiin ting IS done during the
winter, and therefore the stocks
should be in q convenient place.
They are taken from the ground
before it freezes, assorted, tied in
bundles, and then placed in boxes
with the roots covered with soil
and put in a cellar. The seeds of
trees, for spring planting are best
preserved by mixing them with
sand and placing the boxes in a
cool-sad dry place out Of the way
Of the mice. The fences and gates
Of theS orchard andcnursery should
be ipsgood order at al times, and
especially at. this season, when a
stray animal may get in and do
serious damage.
