1--WE heartily congratulate the supposed
Free-Traders who mdorse the principle Of
the incidental protection OF American labor
and industries in raising constitutional and
honest taxes by import duties"

MORE than half century ago
the Shakers first originated the
drying of sweet corn for food, and
they first raised, papered and yend-
ed garden seeds in the present
styles. From their first methods of
preparing medicinal roots and herbs
for market sprung the immense pa
tent medicine trade. They began
the broom-corn business. The first.
buzz saw was made by the Shakers
at New Lebanon. This is now in.
the Albany Geological Hall. The
Shakers invented metallic pens,
first made of brass and silver. All
distilled liquors were abandoned as.
a beverage by the Shakers sixty
years ago, and during the past for
ty years no fermented liquor Of any
sort has been used except as a med
icine. Pork and tobacco are also
numbered among the forbidden ar
ticlos." Though the shakers are
not strict vegetarians, the amount
of meat and grease used as food is
J reduced to the minimum.
