No Chance to Rcctify Mistakes.

When l was young man there lived
in our neighborhood farmer who was
usually reported 10 be very liberal
man and uncommonly upright in his
dealings. When he had any of the
produce of his farm to dispose OF he
made it an invariablc rule to give good
measure-rathcr more than would be
required of him. One of his friends,
observing him frequently doing so,
questioned him as to why he did it. He
told him he gave too much, and said 1t
was to his disadvantage. Now, mark
the answer of this excellent man: God
has permitted me but one journey
through the world, and when / am gone
/ cannot return to rectify mistakes. "
The old farmers mistakes were of the
sort he did not want to rcctify--EI'

manner had given him cold.
The London Times makes the
following doleful statement to its
British readers:
GAIL over the world one great state
after another has raised its costoms
duties, has thereby restricted its deal
ings with other states, and by so doing
has diminished the business of all.
Take, for example, the United States.
In the years OF imitation that ended in
1878 the Uuited States obtained the
greater part Of their iron for railroad
building in this country, thus giving
employment to much British labor
and capital. But in the extension of
railways that has taken place during
the past four years the United States
have comparatively speaking, bought
scarcely any of our iron. The prohib-
tive duties they have imposed have
called into being great iron and
steel industry, which is now capable
of supplying the most extravagant de-
mands of the home market. What
has been done, in greater or less
degree, by most European countries.
Russia, for example, is to large ex-
tent now independent of our markets.
1t is not only independent foreign
states that have thus acted; our one
colonies have gone in the same path.
A very instructive circular issued the
other day by the Viewers Commcial
of Northern Lancashire calls the at.
tention of the employers to the duties
imposed by our own colonies upon
English cotton manufactures, and the
list appended shows that the effect
must be greatly to diminish the deal
ings af this country with our colonies.
We have seen no better argument
for protection in long time, and yet,
in the midst of the present depression
in iron and other industries, there
ara statesmen who would sacrifice our
own capitalists and laborers TO give
England a market in the United
States.

nasty worthless medicines that can
never do them a whit of good. If you

For an enfeebled circulation or weak

Farmers cannot exercise too much

Tammany has held mooting. All tho
sgchems wero present, Grand Sschem
John Kelly sitting in tho highest scat.
Whether to declare for or against Glove
land was the burning question Of tho
hour. After FREQ conference, In tho
course Of which some of the warriors wero
tho reyorso Of complimentary In their
expressions concerning tbs governor, IL
was agreed that TDm1nany would for
1nally indorso tho D6Rot.
In pursuance 6f this decision tho Tam.
many gsueral committee. at its meeting
noxtfriday night, will enjoy tho pleas.
frb OF listening to an address aud set of
resolutions plodqing the support of tho
organization TO Cleveland and Hendricks.
Mr. Kolly is at the head of the committee
charged with tho duty of preparing tho
formal declaration of allegiance, aud may
be relied upon 10 SEQ to II that no measure
of sot phrase necessary to put Tammany
in lino-on papor-wlll be lacking.
Tammany has been tardy in taking
action upon tho matter, but there has
never been any very good reason to sup
pose that its formal course would be other
than that agreed upon. It's members are
democrats. 1t is democratic organils-
tion. 1t could not afford in presidential
election year to take any other course
than to publicly declare its adhesion to
tho candidates and cause Of the demo-
cratic party, and profess an intention to
work loyalty for their success.
As to tho sincerity of all this that is an-
other matter. Part of the Tammany
membership arc favorably disposed to-
ward Cleveland and will no doubt support
him earnestly. But very largo proper
tion of the members are not friendly to
him, and while policy may cause them to
join in u notice to the party at large that
Tammany is truly loyal to tho ticket
there is no very great room to doubt that
the private intention of this hostile elo.
mont is to let slip no opportunity for dig
ging tho amorous Grover under the fifth
rib.
Coincident with the resolve to formally
declare in favor of Cleveland, 1t was re-
solved that in the coming election Tam
many will run an entire separate county
ticket. This action is significant. Johr
Kelly cares more for the control Of New
York city and county than he does for al
other issues dependent upon the campaign
and it is not difficult to see that this
action of Tammany in regard TO the
county ticket is tho real declaration o.
intantinna II lie fnir nntirn that Claya
land will be ruthlcssly traded oil, so tha
Tammany can secure tho fat county office
and patronage.

Maine has been close state since 1877
The "greenbaclc craze" took firm hold
upon her voters, and for a few years prac-
tically wiped the democratic party out Of

the strength of tho republican party.

A marked feature of tho benefits con.

is seen in its effect upon agricultural labor,
by building up vast homo market for

Hvcrapo wages Of tho farm laborer were 50
per month, with board. Twenty
years ago the average had increased to
about $l2 aud at present the average is

Sand IL is significant fact that the farm

northern, portion Of the state was t25.90

Tho democrats have apparently con-
ceded tho republicans at least 10000
majority in the present election, with the
secret expectation that it will be less, and
thus enable them to make point over a
falling oil in the republican majority in
Mr.. Blainos own state. But glsnce at the
above figures will clearly show that if
Gov. Robie polls 60o0 majority and up
ward it will be all that can reasonably be
looked for. 1t may 90 above 10000; but
ST it does not that is no ground for either
republican disappointment or democratic
cxultation,
The republican managers claim from
1000 to 10000 majority for Robie for gov
ernor, and tho election Of four congress-
men. A hard fight has boon made against
Congressman Reed, but his election by
from 500 to 500 majority is confidently
claimed.

that Is looked upon as having any bearing
upon presidential results, hence the re-
turns will be closely scanned by all par.

The treasury department yesterday received
a letter from DIR. J. IIigham Hill, United States
health inspector at London, in which he says
in his opinion the importation OF rags into the
United States from that country Is at present
iraught with considerable risk. He says
smallpox has been for some time prevalent
there, where large quantities of rags are col
lected and shipped TO America, and large
quantities Of continental rags are forwarded to
London for shipment to America, which un-
dergo no process of disinfectiOn, and In his
opinion are likely agents TO convey tho infec-
tion of cholera or smallpox If collected In in.
fected districts. Consul General Merritt of
London, who forwards the letter, says he re-
CARDS Hull, from its close proximity 10 the
German ports, whence rags are largely inn
ported as much more likely to import Infected
rags 20 the United States than either London
or Liverpool, and there is no restriction at
Hun. II is probable that the treasury depart
ment will issue an order requiring that the
evidence must be clear that the circumstances
surrounding the gathering and shipment OF
rags and tho source from which they come are
such as to dispel apprehension of infection by
their landing.
