War Taxes in Time of Peace.

Al IL special meeting of the New
York Free Trade Club, Mr.. David
\. Wells said that he had coins to
the conclusion that commercial free
dom would never be attained until it
is made the interest OF the u;:nu-
factuier. He believed that day was
near. The country cannot stand
war taxes III time of peace, lie said,
and the wLir.wind III politics that
swept the country during the past
season proves that fnvt. New Eng
land, the piotectionist stronghold,
Is beginning TO be satisfied that the
pro:ectioni>t pol cy is no longer of
any good. The New Enslanders
are realizing that there are Just rs
good Yankees down South and out
West as there are down East. And
N annihilate the theory that
protection increases the laborers
wages. The recent census shows
that laborers in cotton and silk aver.
age not more than IS and 80 cents q
day, while farmers Of the West, free
from protection, pay their tillers
from 81 As to 50 per day. The in
ducements that bring the laboring
classes of Europe to America are all
natural and not the result of legisla.
ton. And yet we make this the
dearest country in the world to live
in. If we don't have a reduction of
taxes as the result of Congressional
legislation this winter the country
will be shaken with financial cy-
clone. The laboring man finds that
what he could obtain for 81 OS in
1877 he must pay 81 A now. In
England cotton.mill hands were
earning $3.50 per year, while in this
country they we're earning but $245.

SilOS and EnSilage.

Special Report No. 48, from the
Department of Agriculture, will tell
you all about silos and ensilage, and
in it you can find the results of ex-
periments of the hundred or more Of
farmers who have tried it, some of
the silos being in use siuce 1876.
AS it is quite probable that but very
few of our readers will have an op-
portunity OF reading the report, the
following comments will serve to
call attention to the matter.
What is a Siio9 1t is q receptacle
to hold and preserve until wanted for
feeding any kind of fodder, in green
state, almost the same as when cut,
SO that it may be fed, when wanted,
to any kind of stock.
Ho,o to make One. A deep pit will
answer, or one can be made of
boards and plank, stone, brick, con.
crete, or square timber. As to the
size: long, narrow and deep, is the
form generally employed in their
construction, say 80 feet long, 10
wide and Is deep. 1t must be tight
all over, and strong enough to with.
stand the preserve of the ensilage
and the weight on top that has to be
put there to keep it from decay and
fermentation. The greater number,
so far, have been made of concrete,
and will last a lifetime; but in this
land of wood, inch boards, with
building paper between them, will
answer every purpose and last a long
time. Corn is the crop almost uni
versally used to preserve in silos,
and as high as twenty-five tons per
acre are reported. Almost any kind
of fodder will do to fill the silo with
but COW is the general favo1ite, and
is best relished by stock and gives
the most satisfactory results.
What 1t aciu DO. Cattle, working
oxen, cows, sheep and swine, all
like it and all thrive on it. Teams
of oxen have done good work when
fed on it. Cows give more and rich
or milk that makes sweeter and bet
ter butter, and keep in better condi-
ton on this diet than when fed the
best OF hay
--Ofsur fodder is cut green, put into
the silo, covered tight, and it will do
to feed out at any time when wanted
Immediately, or in three, six or
nine months. When once housed,
all care is over; you have your feed
perfectly preserved and ready to use
at any time.
Anybody who is interested, and
all dairymen should be eager to learn
how to cheaper and at the same time
improve the quality and quantity of
their products can, by enclosing a
stamp to the editor, secure Report
No. 4S, and learn many particulars
we cannot find room for in these
columns.

A BOY only fourteen years of age
has been arrested in Portland on
four distinct charges of grand lar
ceny. His last exploit was stealing
an express wagon, with which he
said he intended to go into the gen.
eral delivery business. Two other
gutter snipes in that city, it is stat
ed, had perfected a we'll defined
plan for the capture of the steam
ship Columbia, and converting her
into piratical cruiser. Precocious
youth is now the rule.

Whisky.

Eleven years ago, says the Eram-
iner, there were 7 ,OO0,0 900 gallons of
whisky stored in the warehouses.
Now there are $4,000, 900 gallons.
The distillers, anticipating large
sales, have greedily made too much.
The tax is nearly due, and the
wealthy distillers want TO get the
time for payment put off for two or
three years. The Secretary of the
Treasury and many Congressman
are ready to rush to their relief and
make law extending the time to
suit the demands of whisky men.
Why should Congress do this? They
have made mistake about the de-
mands for spirits, but if they store
it up until the demand becomes
more active they will raise the
prices according to the age of the
article. The older the liquor the
higher the price. These men knew
the law when they made the unusual
amount of liquor, and had no good
reason to look for any exception in
their favor from the regular course
of the law. Would Congress be
ready 10 alter the law fol the relief
of the poor man, as is proposed for
the assistance of these wealthy
parties? The distillers are said to
have raised money for some purpose,
and they may decide now to apply it
where it will have the most per-
suasive power.

MORE CIVIL SERVICE.

MIR. Morgan was prepared to sup
port any measure which would tend
to put in Office the class of persons
best qualified and most to be relied
upon in the conduct of the public
business.
Mr.. Call made an argument to
show that the bill proposed to in
fringe upon the appointing power of
the Executive, and was, therefore,
unconstitutional.
Senator Williams opposed the bill
as impracticable. There was great
deal of nonsense talked about civil
service reform. Real reform would
consist in putting decent and hon.
est men in the high places, and let
ting them bring back the Govern
ment of the Republic to the prin.
ciples and practices of it's earlier and
better. days. He would like to see
the Democratic member of Congress
who would go back to his constit
uents and tell them that he had
voted to make the tenure of the pre-
sent Office-holders permanent, in Or
der to keep his friends from being
tempted into ofice-seeking. How
mahy votes would that man get :?
Why, he would he hooted. The
people think, said Mr.. Williams,
and 1 do, too, that whichever party
is in power has the right TO put it's
friends in Office. AS for this poor
little thing that is before us, I'don't
thing it amounts to anything; Old
Hickory Jackson would put his foot

Public attention has once more
been called rather pointedly to the
Indian question by the discussion
upon the Indian appropriation bill

were under consideration were blunt
and to the point. They thought the
Government was wasting money in
the maintenance of an extravagant
and useless Indian school system.

The Presidents Movements.

The presidential party arrived at
Mammoth Hot Springs yesterday
about noon. They did not go to the
hotel, but camped on the hillside
about half a mile away. much, we
presume, to the chagrin Of the crowd
at the hotel that had counted upon
Gen. Arthur's presence in their
midst. The special cars will meet the
party at the end of track this
afternoon. and after they take the
train it will be run through to Chicago
without delay except such af is neces.
sary in the ordinary course of travel.
If nothing occurs to disarrange tho
plans eff either party, the president
and his friends will probably meet the

there may be a short Interchange OF
greetings, but no prolonged delay by
the former.
