Advice to a Young Farmer.

A young man just married and with
small means wants to know how to
start right ia farming. This is imposing
upon us rather a serious task. We OF
course know nothing of his habits of in
dustry, his love of labor or his qualilica-
tions for the business he seeks. Above
all We do not know what kind of wife
be has selected, and very, very much
depends upon this, for if he has chosen
unwisely he was made an almost irrepa-
rable misstep. We will, however, lay
down some general principles which may
do others, if not him, some good:
First-Buy none but the best land
Fen acres of the best is better than d
section of poor land.
Second-Keep it clear of woods.
Third--Do nothing slipshod. Plow
well and cultivate thoroughly.
Fourth-Do everything in the right
season.
Fifth-Procure good implements and
take good care of them.
Sixth-Raise none but good animals.
Seventh-Keep strict account of i'll
come and expenses.
Eighth Keep out of debt and clear of
security notes.
Ninth-Rise early and quit work early
in the evening, so that you may have
the chores done before the shades of
night.
Tepth-Ha7e nothing to do with trav-
cling agents and strolling iddlers. Deal
with these who have local habitation
and d name.
Eleventh-Live peaceabiy with your
wife. If you can not, coax her to go to
Kamschatka and you go to Australia
until you ventilate your affections.
Twelfth-Live at peace with all your
neighbors, even if you have to make
the concessions and submit to ali the
wrong.
Thirteenth-Take good papers and
keep yourself posted as to markets, news,
literature and politics.
Fourteenth-Study to know your
whole duty to yourself, your family,
your country and your God.
Follow these things and they will nat
urally lead you into all the duties of a
good farmer, a good citizen, and pros
porous and happy man.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

process" that we hear so much about
from yarioloid PTotectionists. From
that time," (the time tie gradual pro-
cess" began), says one of the directors
of Krupp's works, wages began to de-
cline, and with this decline the produc-
ton of iron ore decaeased, and 1t was
not until the prospect of a new tarlfi
aRd its subsequent enactments again
stimulated the iron industry that the
production of iron ore increased, and is
to-day greater than ever before.
Gradual as the reduction was, the re-
turn to Protection was quick and decl-
ded. And the effort on the industrial
/ condition of the empire was almost
magical. The production of pig iron
almost doubled in four years, reaching
| 3. .OOO.O 900 tons Finished iron and steel
reached 100000 tons. The new policy
did much to stimulate and put new life
into industries 1t did not at once in-
crease wages, but for the moment II
brought about more, beneficial result
by giving employment to idle labor
This is point so often overlooked, alike
by the Free Trader, the Revenue Re
former and the varioloid PIotectionist.
Refusing to protect the miner and the
agriculturist means not only the reduc-
ton of wages, but increase in the ranks
of the idle.
An English workman who was grum-
bling the other day that wages were no
higher in Pennsylvania, that the wealth
er was so severe. and clothing so ex-
pensive, was asked why he did not re-
turn to England?
Because" he promptly replied, "if l
once get out a job there, it is almost i'm
possible to get mother. In America, If
| leave one job to day, go somewhere
else and get another tomorrow"
Here is good illustration of the i'm
poItance of keeping every one constant
ly employed. And for this reason, if
for no other, Senator Sherman is right
when he says: "The rule of Protection
must extend to all labor alike-to the
labor of the farmer in producing wool,
and to the labor of the miner in digging
coal-and if it is denied to the farmer
and miner, it cannot justly be maintain
ed in favar of the manufacturer
Returning to the effect of Protection
on the iron and steel Industry of Germa'
ny, we find that the benefit was felt in
both ways. In 1888 the total number
employed had increased to 206,1 $50 work
men we're given employment. This of
itself would justify Protection. 1t did
more in Germany. Every one of the
206, ,150 workmen in 1888 carried home to
their families ia more wages than the
153.979 workmen did when manufactur
ing in Germany had been handed over
to foreign countries.
II is about time that inexperienced
statesman, like Senator Sherman, should
assume a decided attitude on these ques
tions and point out he danger of cence'
ding, under the shallow pretext of raw
MATERIAL the foundation of the whole.
protective system. The development of
the natural resources of the country and
the production. mining and maDufact.
ure of wool, coal and iron is of funda'
mental importOnce and the varioloid
Protectionists who are willing TO give
up these industries are on the straight
road to the enemies camp.-Philadel'
phia Press.

After the Flood.

The Ohio River has passed the mark
of seventy feet at this point. In the
nature of things this cannot be far from
the maximum. We may expect the riv-
er to come to stand tonight. 1t is
time, therefore, to begin to talk about
what is to come after the flood. The
most solemn and distressing time in
the house of mourning is after the fu-
neral, when friends have departed and
the bereayed are left to themselves.
So it is with the flood. While the riv-
er is rising and booming there is an ex
citement that stimulates. Money is
pouring in for the relief of sufferers,
and there is enough tOfeed and clothe and
shelter the distressed, but when the wa
ters begin TO subside, and people in bu
SinesS return to their counting-rOoms,
and railroads and steamboats, re
sumo operations, relief headquarters
will be closed, the flow Of charity funds
will cease, and then the real suffering
will begin. For the thousands who
have been driven from their homes and
cut off from means of support, after the
flood is the time most to be dreaded.
And it is at this point that State aid
and Government aid should come in and
continue. The three hundred thousand
dollars appropriated by the National
Government should De increased to two
millions, and Ohio, our own grand State,
should supplement this with a quarter
of million. The latter in its applica-
ton will be restricted by State lines ne-
cessarily. but the National Government
is not in its muniiicence controlled by
metes aud bounds. 1t. can extend the
hel ping hand anywhere. and has the
power of continuance. The State and
Nation come in after the funeral, when
eXctable friends have left and individu-
al sympathies have ceased to move the
human pulse. This help, therefore, now
that we begin to look beyond the flood,
is to be invoked. Private charities will
continue, of course, but of these and of
public charities there can not be an eX
cess, no more than the measure of dis
tresS extending from the headwaterS to
the mouth of the Ohio can be measured.
