Although the National Anti-Mo :
nopoly convention was attended by
only 200 delegates, their utterances ex-
press the sentiments of much wider
constituency than the numbers imply.
Their platform as adopted is in effect:
that labor and capital should be
allies, not enemies; that corporations
are the creatures of law and should
be controlled by law; that we propose
the greatest reduction practicable in
public expenses; that it is the duty
Of the government to at once regulat e
commerce among the states. including
the transportation of money and
transmission of intelligence; that the
national eight-hour law must be hon.
estly enforced and the importation of
foreign labor under contract be made
Illegal; calls for IL graduated income
tax; demands that the tariff, which
is tax upon the people. shall be SO
levied as to bear as lightly rs possible
upon the necessaries of life; that no
further grants of public lands he n ade
to corporations; that American legis-
lation has Disseminated against agri-
culture, which has in the meantime
borne the brunt of taxation. and ap-
peals to the farmers of the country to
join in an anti-monopoly crusade.
On ar informal ballot for candi-
date for president of the United
States, Butler received l24 votes;
Thurman, 4; and Solon Chase, of
Maine, |. Butler was declared the
nominee of the convention.

a Pio.tron Tariff.

Some Of the Pennsylvania protec'-
tionists who voted against the Nor
rison bill claim to have done so in the
interests of their pigiron constituent
cies. AS the reduction would have
been from s6.12 per ton to SIS, one
would infer that the iron trade of our
country must be pretty closely push
ed by the foreign, if il could not stand
so small Il reduction in the tariff.
The facts of the case show differently
The average cost ola ton Of plg-iron
at the Alabama and Virginia furna-
ces is trifle over $I1. The cost OF
a ton Of iron. on board ship, in E.
gland is about SO, in Scotland Sl0.50~
by adding the proposed Morrison duty
(the old Morrill, onel of SIS, to tire
cost of English iron. together with
transportation across the ocean, in
surance, commission and the usGaE
percentage for other risks, we find
that the American producer has a.
pretty wide margin to work on
Having schemed to exclude the pro-
duets of foreign furnaces, the NEXT
step by the protection monopolist is
to skin his countryman for al that he
will stand. and in consequence, the
average price for iron during the lass,
six years has been SO ton. Viewed
in connection with the fact that one
of the Alabama furnaces. above referr-
ed to, has made contract recently for
a period of years, six OF seven, to
furnish pig-iron at $3.50 per ton, one
can conclude that the iron-masters-
of the country are pretty effectually
protected. What the present unjust,
tariff is with regard to iron, it is
with regard to all raw materials
some OF which are more necessary liz
everyday needs of our western far
mers and manufacturers than iron,
but we have used iron for illustra-
ton.

Compared with the ordinary, am
biguity and redundancy of wording
for which our laws are noted. the re-
mark which we heard the other day,
as to the manner IN which to deal
with the railroad question, made by
an eminent jurist of the state. was
singularly simple and to the point.
He said he would like to write up
railroad law to put before the next
legislature; upon the first refusal to
furnish an individual with a Car, upon
demand, he would fine the company
one Thousand dollars; for the second
offence he would make it five thous-
and dollars, and for the third offence
he would revoke their franchise. The
trouble with such law as this would
be its tco apparent purpose, to suit
the average legislator, It's simplicity
would be in such contrast with the
time-honored generalities of the ordi-
nary statute as to be too severe blow
at ancient institutions and methods.

The Creamery.

For the past two months those in
terested in the creamery have made
strenuous efforts to place the creamery
on such basis-eitller by renting it
or interesting in it parties conversant
with the business, that it would be
successfully run this season. All en-
deavors to attain this end having
failed, several of the stockholders
offered to pay off certain indebted
ness and operate it this year as a pri-
vate enterprise. 1t was not desire
for profit which prompted this step
but feeling of unwillingness to see
an enterprise Of Morris fall into de-
cay, even If it's maintalnence should
entail some loss. The proposition
having met the approval of the stock
holders, it was hoped that the cream.
cry would be opened this week. AT
the present writing, however, the
outlook is that the factory doors will
remain closed, for this season at least.
The gentlemen proposing to take hold
of it having found upon investiga-
ton that the supposition that the
number of cows adjacent to Morris
had materially increased since last
year was erroneous. and they were
also discouraged by finding that many
farmers were unwilling to sell their
cream. They have therefore, aban-
doned the enterprise.
That the creamery should remain
idle this year. is greatly to be deplor-
ed, for, not only will unavoidable loss
be caused the stockholders, but many
farmers who have not the facilities
for making good butter during the
hot months, will be deprived Of the
revenue they might otherwise have
obtained for their cream.

Internal improvements.

There is one thing certain about
the surplus revenue, il it cannot. bG
suppressed, it must, at all events, be
disposed of, and the best way to do it
is to spend it for tire be1eit of the
people from whose hard earnings it is
drawn. An article in the June IIar-
per, by THOMAS Wentworth Iiiggr
son is very suggestive III this reg irl,
and will well repay perusal. Referring
to the administration of john Quincy
Adams as one generaly referred to as
commonplace and unintercstins, he
shows that in respect OF interiEtI
improvements it was more ImportaIi5
than the twenty years which preced-
ed and the ten years which followed
it. Then as now, there was Il surplus
in the national treasury, but, wstiT
the intelligent direction of a board of
internal Improvements, immense and
advantageous pubic works were de-
signed and carried out without cre;tt-
ing dollar of taxes or debt.
Now the government has corps of
engineer officers, educated at the pub
tic expense and for the public benefits;
the public Itself is in need of relief liz
the matter of routes Of transpoTtatiom
by water and rail. 70 what better
use could the surplus revenue be pHt
than by building canals and improving,
streams, III order to give the victims
to railroad monopoly an all ernative'
choice of route by which to get their
products to the seaboard! Let the
railroads grid-lron the land, if they
viii, but give the people the water
routes, If they wish to use them.
This would eventually put the rail-
roads and the public on much better
terms with one another.

The recent agitations at the monied

The recent agitations at tho monied
centres will possibly be the cause of a
stringency in the money-market for Il
short time, but will, in the near
future, be a benefit to the western
country. Eastern capital will take
fright at the wildcat speculations en-
trusted to the care of unprincipled
agents, to which condition invest
ments in the cast all seem tending,
and will view with more confidence
western real-est;lte securities as less
vague and unreliable than they have
been accustomed to. After the first
scare is over eastern money will be
easier and western securities consid.
cred in their proper light.

Mulching Potatoes.

TIE experiments conducted during
the last session at the Missouri State
Agricultural College fully demonstrate
says the Rural World, the ACCESSIBILITY
of mulching potatoes. We believe
every experiment SO far reported gave
a similar result. The cost of the ma
terials for mulching is usually very
small, leaves or straw being plentiful
and cheap upon the farm. The mate
rails, manure the ground, and mulch
ing saves hoeing. The potato requires
a cooler climate and moister soil than
our latitude afford. Mulching tends
to secure both. The result in every
case have been largely increased yields
of superior quality.
