so that the only country from which we could
in any event draw them is buying them from
us. The duty on boards, lath and shingles
may or may not be tax on purchasers of
those articles IN New York, New England and
Pennsylvania, but it certainly is no tax on
any purchaser of them in the Northwest.
Shoes, socks needles and saws are all articles
OF export, and in saws we beat the world.
England herself cannot make saws for her
own use against our makers. But again Mr..
Fishback says: You tax the imported salt
which cures his bacon, but refund the tax If
the salted meat is sent abroad to be consumed
by foreigners" Now, let US see whether we
are taxed" on salt. Mr.. Fishback can order
salt from Saginaw, including the barrel, for
seventy cents per barrel, and we doubt If he
can buy the empty barrel in indianapolis for
less than ST. We hazard little in saying that
at most points in the West even where the
material for making barrels is abundant,
they could be ordered full of salt from Sag
inaw as cheaply as they could be obtained
empty at home. Does this look as though
we are much taxed on our salt? AS TO the sea
salt and rock salt used for packing bacon, we
have more ocean frontier along which the
former can be made and more miles of solid
deposit from which the latter can be dug
than any other country in the world. 1t Is
not an article on which we can possibly be
dependent on the foreign supply without
domestic competition. 1t is trade so sim
PIE budC Cnere is not q negro Ill Ine OOutH
who could not begin the manufacture with
no other capital than a dipper and a board
Yet it is an article so important that during
the war the rebels suffered more for lack
of salt than of any other commodity.
Mr.. Fishback is right, however, in one
guess out of twenty. The duties on sugar
and molasses are really taxes. Alas for the
vanity of human wisdom! They are those
which conform in the highest degree to
Mr.. Fishback's own standard. They are
laid for revenue only, with incidental pro-
lection, and would still be levied for revenue
if we were producing no sugar or molasses at
all. They lack one element of national econ
omy which pertains to protective duties viz,
they collect all that is paid into the treasury
under them from American consumers, and
none of it from foreign producers But they
do operate as a tax on the consumer, because
for nine-tenths of his supply he is as yet de
pendent on the foreign product Thus like
many doughty warrior the mighty Fish
back, finding no other foe whose armor his
lance will penetrate, dashes it successfully
against the principles of his friends. He
leans too confidently on the point of the
sword with which he had hoped to do battle,
and like Roman, dies of his own weapon.

THE RHODE ISLAND CAMPAIGN.
FIR. SpraSue Finds a Bad Precedent Estab
lished by Himself in More Prosperous

%
Letter in Philadelphia Press
Money is a very important factor in any
hotly-contested Rhode Island election Ever
since William Sprague spent 100000 in the
election OF 1860, and his agents openly paid
S. to $500 for single votes, there have been
hundreds, if not thousandc of voters who
have looked upon the right of suffrage as
worth so many dollars to them, and they al
ways stand ready to vote for the candidate
who pays the highest price. If the Sprague
managers had large sum OF money to
spend on election day, they would probably
succeed; as it is, there is a very discouraging
lack of funds in their trea sury.
1t is not an easy thing to predict the result
of the campaign now at its height. but see
no reason to expect Mr.. Bourn's defeat. The
Republican canvass is very carefully and
thoroughly organized, but it is difficult to
ascertain how many Republican voters will
quietly take their revenge upon the ma
chine by voting for Sprague. A straight
out ticket is in the field, which will probably
receive 900 votes, all of which will be
drawn from Sprague, and. if the Republicans
should not have majority over both Sprague
and Cutler there will probably be no cleo
ton, in which event it goes to the Legislature
at its May session, when Bourn will triumph.
The boom" for Sprague seems to be wan
ing. The sober, second thought Of the peo-
Pile seems to be asserting itself and the more
William Spragues past record is contem-
plated, the more difficult is it for a decent
man to vote for him.

Not Entitled to Consideration.


The Indianapolis Times devotes a column
editorial in an attempt to soft-soap w. P.
Fishback, who recently wrote an open let
ter attacking the Republican party for its at
titude on the tariff bill. Mr.. Fishback is
entitled to no such considerate treatment on
the part of Republican papers. He has been
a barnacle hanging on the coat tails OF the
Republican party for the last fifteen years.
He has received many favors from his party
and his services have been in an inverse
ratio to his rewards. The tariff bill recently
passed by Congress is without doubt the
best ever given to the country, and if it does
not meet with the appreciation of Mr.. Fish
back, probably the best plan would be for
him to join his brother John, "Over the
Garden Wall"

How to Have a Productive
Apple Orchard.

4 practical fruit man in our vi
elnty volunteers tho following in
formation in regard 10 orchards
Buy first class, one-ysar-old trees
OF u reliable nursery man or his
salesman whom you know is trusty
BE sure TO got varieties adapted to
our climate as there is many varie-
ties that are worthless with us that
are good elsewhere. For home
consumption make selection OF
the best varieties from the earliest
ripening to the latest keepers, SO as
to have a succession of good fruit
the year round. Prepare your land,
if possible break deep and subsoil
by so dong you give your trees II
deep loose bed TO throw out their
roots, they will take deep root and
you can pillow shallow close to your
trees without tearing up their roots
and they arc not easily blown down.
don't mean for you 10 set your
trees deep set tree deeper
than 1t stood IN the Nursery, except
whore the soil is very low, then al.
low for the earth settling.
Mover let stock in your orchard $,
especially young orchards.
! Mover SOW it IN small grain.
Make it rule to wrap your trees
during the LIST week in Novem Der
to protect them from tho rabbits.
Cultivate your trees well while
young. Keep them growing rapid
| lyi force their growth 80 rs to
make good. largo trees before they
begin bearing, as they cannot make
wood and fruit the same season
A tree that fails to mako good
growth the first four years never
makes u good tree.
Have your trees to head low, say
from 3 to 1 feet from tho ground
Shape your trees as you want them
TO grow, as you have it IN your
hand to do this.
Thu.tree that heads out low has
many advantages over the tree that
heads out from five to seyen feet
from the ground. Tho roots of u tree
are in proportion to its branches,
therefore, If you want good branch,
es and roots have your trees to head
out low. The trunk of the tree
above four feet is no advantage to
the tree, and if it heads out at four
feet all that would be in trunk
above four feet goes into branches
and makes much larger head. An
other advantage IS the wind has
less power to snake or blow down
your tree. The apples will not
bruIse when they fall. You can
gather much easier, the fruit being
lower. The trunk OF the tree is
protected from the hot rays OF the
sun by the low branches and tho
ground is shaded ond kept mellow
and loose. r.
