PRoTEcTIoNIsTs should note the

from grinding competition with the

lar a pound on Holstein butter, fifty
cents a head on Holland cabbages and
four dollars a bushel on Scotch and

cient to prevent our home butter dairies

falling into decay. Poor Americans

PICKLES.

The Smyrna Times says that the firm
Of J. B. Evans & Co., moulders and
machinists, of Smyrna, intend to en-
gage in the manufacture Of pickles,
The paper does not say what kind Of
pickles the firm will manufacture, but
it is likely they will not confne them
selves to making cast-iron pickle;
alone. Doubtless wrought iron pickle;
and Bessemer steel pickles will also re.
ceive the attention of the firm, and
gain in popular favor. This is a move
in the right direction. Our moul'ier:
and machinists have too long neglected
the pickle industry and suffered the in
digestible cucumber pickle to monopo-
lie attention because there seemed tC
be nothing else equally reliable to keeT
up the crop of dyspeptics above the
average. The vile cucumber pickle has
made a free people miserable long
enough. Nothing more indigestible
has ever been invented, except, per-
haps, barbed wire fence, cut coarse.
1t has driven men to commit murder
to drink themselves into deItriWnl
tremens to whip their wives, and to lie
about their neighbors. If it could be
reliably ascertained that Guiteau had
been eating cucumber pickles the day
he shot Garfield, we would sign petit
tion for his pardon. Now that ma
chinists and moulders are turning their
attention to the pickle business, let us
hope that we may have something in
the way of pickles that ones stomach
can digest, and that will not lie down
there in the interior department feeling
like a load Of hard-burnt bricks or a
section of marble tombstone. Let us
encourage the new enterprise and drive
the vile cucumber pickle out of the
market, and the world will be happier
and better for the change. Then one
can carry few cast-iron pickles home,
lay them before his family, and say
with proud satisfaction " Here, my
dears, is something you can eat when
you crave pickles, and not feel after
wards like you had swallowed an
earthquake that persisted in staying
by you from the fourth of July until
the week after next.'
