THE chief merit of the following
story in the Wall Street News is
that it is true: A COurier-J Journal
reporter came down south to feel
the political pulse of the people.
When he reached Birmingham,
Ala, he asked a policeman for the
whereabouts of a free trader who
would be apt to ''pan out" on an
interview. The officer walked him
about half mile and turned him
over to second, and the second
passed him to a third The third
was walking him to the city limits,
when the reporter inquired
''Does he live far from here 2"
olive? Why, the man is dead!"
"Dead !"

hung himself. He got so lonesome
here that he even spoiled a good
harness to get rope to choke hi M

rather a "tall' story, but it was not
for him to belittle the father of the
country in the eyes of foreigner.
Don't you believe it?" asked
Lord Coleridge. "Yes," Mr.. Evarts

be true. You know a dollar would

Winter. Wheat and Increase of Southern
Milling.


Milling.
Baltimore Manufacturers Record.
The flour milling interests of the
South are steadily increasing, and
it now looks as though in few
years the Southern people would be
able to supply themselves with
flour instead of being so largely de.
pendent upon the Northwest as at
present. A few years ago the i'm
mense milling companies of Mimi
nesOta, with their improved roller
process machinery, which had not
then been adopted to any great ex-
tent in Maryland and the other
Southern States, were able to take
the inferior spring wheat of the
Northwest and produce a better
-four than could be made from the
very superior hard winter wheat of
this section by the old system of
burri. This has now been changed.
The old mills of this and the adjoin-
ing States have been refitted with
the very best roller machinery, and
the new ones that are being built
are putting in this kind ; so that,
so far as their machinery and their
ability to do good work are con-
cerned, they are fully equal to the
best mills of any of the Western
States, this being especially true Of
one or two of our big Baltimore
mills. Thus, having equal advan-
tages in these respects, the question
of which can make the best flour
the Northwest mills or Maryland
mills-depends simply upon which
has the best material to work upon.
And upon this point there can hard
ly be doubt, for it is almost uni
versally admitted that the amber
and the lungbery hard winter wheat
of Maryland and the surrounding
States is far superior to the spring
wheat of Minnesota. In fact, the
truth of this statement is demon.
strated by the higher price COM
manded by Southern wheat over
Western at all times and in all the
wheat markets of the world.
The Southern wheat possesses the
best combination of nutritive prop
critics, and is thus superior as a
food stuff compared with Western
wheat. Under these circumstances
it is but natural that the demand is
steadily on the increase for the
roller process flour made from
Southern winter wheat. Since the
introduction of the roller system on
choice winter wheat, the winter
wheat patent flour takes the lead.
The New York Commercial Bulle-
tin, of April 9TH, quotes winter
wheat patent higher than spring in
that market, and the Boston Jour
nal, of March 18th, in reviewing
the flour trade, says: "Our best
winter wheat brands have so far
given satisfaction, but there has
been more or less complaint about
the spring wheats."

What shall we mourn: For the PROSTATE tree
that sheltered the young green wood:
For the fallen cliff that fronted the sea. and
guarded the fields from flood:
For the eagle that died in the tempest, afar from
its eyre'S brood:
Nay, not for those shall we weep; for the silver
cord must be worn,
And the golden tillet shrink back at last, and the
dust to its earth return
And tears are never for those who die with their
face to the duty done;
But we mourn for the ledglingS left on the waste,
and the fields where the wild waves run.

But the lives of those who believe to the death

But Hou have a further and very ia

sounds from the Atlantic to the Pacific
and which reverberates in the centre of
the continent. This argument declares
that the tariff enhances the price Of every
article oh which it is imposed, by the
amount of the duty You further say
that it not only adds so much to the ex-
pense OF the consumer, but it also en-
hances the domestic prices by the same

into the United States. 1t has been de-
veloping for about twenty years. and has
now extended into several States. The
result is certified by Mr.. Wyckotf, who
prepared the census report on that sub
lect III letter to me. The general re-
du2tlon in prices since 1860 averages
about % per cent, and in some instances
over 30 per cent, while about one half the
entire consumption is the product of
American labor. In steel rails before the
imposition of duties we paid England 500
per ton. Since American manufactures
have grown up we have purchased as low
as $40 per ton. Similar results have at
tended the duties on cutlery and other
hardware. The same is true of cotton
