Altar OF Roses.

''Genuine altar of roses" remarked
New York chemist, (which Is made
in India and Australia, costs 800 an
ounce at the place of distillation. 1t
takes fifty thousand rose blooms to
yield an ounce of altar. They are the
common roses and grow in great pro-
fusion in California, where the distilla-
ton of altar could be made very prof
liable industry. l have seen hedge
rows near Samona, in that state. so
dense with these roses that the odor on
warm, sultry day caused feeling of
peculiar faintness to the passer by.
This is the effect of the altar that Is
distilled by the heat and the moist air,
and is held suspended, as it were, in
the atmosphere.
''There Is money in that cause of
faintness and Incidence, but in this
country not only the sweetness but the
great value of the flowers is wasted on
the desert air. In northern India the
roses are regularly cultivated. They
are all planted in rows in fields, and
require no particular care. When they
begin to bloom they are picked before
midday. This work is done by women
and children, who seem to regard it
more as pleasure than a pursuit of
labor. The leaves are distilled in twice
their weight of water, which is drawn
off into open vessels. These are allow
ed to stand over night, being covered
with clothes to keep out dirt and in
scots. In the morning the water is
coated with thin, oily film. This is
the rare altar of roses. 1t is skinned
off with fine feather and dropped into
walls. The process continues daily
until the bushes cease to bloom. So it
may well be imagined that any essence
or oil that requires the distilling Of fifty
thousand roses to fill an ounce vial has
a right to have good price set upon
it"-Net0 York Sun.

Our Clothes Our Enemies.

Professor Hamilton, in o late ad.
dress on hygiene, denounces broad
cloth as an enemy to exercise, and
therefore to health. He says: Ameri-
can gentlemen have adopted anational
costume, thin, tight-titting black suit
of broadcloth. To foreigners we al
ways seem to be in mourning; we travel
IL black. The priest, the lawyer, the
doctor, the literary man, the mechanic
and even the day laborer, choose al
ways the same black broadcloth-a
style that ought never to have been
adopted out of the drawing room or
the pulpit, because it is feeble and
expensive fabric, and because it is at
the north no protection against the
cold, nor is it any more suitable ut the
south. 1t is too thin to be warm in
winter, and too black to be cool in
summer; but especially do we object to
it because the wearer Is always soiling
it by exposure. Young men will not
play ball, pitch quoits, wrestle or tum-
BILE, or any other similar thing, lest
their broadcloth should be offended.
They will not 60 out into the storm,
because the broadcloth will lose its lus-
ire If rain falls upon it; they will not
run because they have no faith in the
strength of their broadcloth; they dare
not mount horse or leap fence, be-
cause broadcloth, as everybody knows,
is so faithless. So these young men,
and these older men, these merchants,
mechanics, and all, learn to walk, talk
and think carefully and soberly; they
seldom venture even to laugh to the
full extent of their sides, because of
their broadcloth."

PROTECTION
TO AMERICAN INDUSTRIES
AN GRAFTON DELIVERED BY JAMES n. NC
BRIDE, AT THE COMMENCEMENT ExER
CIsEs, ON JUNE 26TH, 1884.

The subject of tariff is now a
matter of consideration among econ
omists; matter Of dispute between
politicians; matter of vital import
ance to many manufacturers, and
producers: the system an absolute fact
in the United States. This subject
cannot be set aside, as a matter so
intricate and deep, that "Free Trade"
and protection have no difference in
meaning to US. On the contrary it
is matter that comes home to our
everyday life. 1t may be sentimental
to say that free trade and protection
do not interest us; but it is by no
mean sense, and tits certainly far less
sensible to condemn our whole tariff
legislation as vicious, merely to coin
eide with the latest English ideas, or
to receive unquestioned our econo-
mic principles from cheap newspa-
pers. From the following standpoint
will we briefly view the question. If
a protective tariff is tax on the con.
sumner, benefits one citizen at the ex-
pense of another, builds up monopo-
lies, promotes crime, dissension etc,
it should be cast aside as unworthy.
But if on the other hand, it has
created vast and varied industries,
provided revenue for the Govern
ment, developed our resources, cheap
ened products by domestic competi-
ton, and aided in the moral advance
ment of our people, then it should
be our policy. These benefits we
claim as the results of "The Ameri.
can System"
IT HAS CREATED VAST AND VARIED
INDUSTRIES.
We have only to study our own
history, or merely open our eyes, to
become satisfied of our growth in the
manufacturing and other products.
We have everything within our
bounds that adds to material wealth
and progress.
A home market has been created,
that consumes ga per cent of our
products with the exception of cotton

The Howard City Record says that,

Hon. M. S. Crosby of Grand Rapids,
will be the Republican nominee for
Governor. Everybody recognizing
that he is the best man yet named
for that office"
THE TINES hopes, If Mr.. Crosby
will accept, that he may be nominal
ed. But The TINES does not believe
that it is best for the friends of Mr..
Crosby to get into any contest with
the friends of the other gentleman
named for the position, or to seek
his elevation by detracting from the
merits of other gentlemen who are in
the field for the nomination. Mr..
Crosby is vigorous young Republi
can, in ability the peer of any man
named for the position, in manly
characteristics and personal honor,
the peer of any man living, and can
afford to wait, if necessary, rather
than take the slightest chances of
being furnished by any act of his
friends in a contest for a nomination
which he does not personally seek,
and yet probably would not decline,
if rendered unanimously by the un.
sought vote of the Republican State
convention.

Republican party of Olmsted county, and
that he Oaniels) had a list of delegates who
were favorable to the denomination of that

Whisky Down.

CINCINNATI, April IS decline of three
cents in the quotations of highwines causes
some excitement in whisky circles 1t is
down without the orders of the whisky pool
and the sales reported to-day were those Of
leading members of the pool. 1t is regarded
as necessary result of the dull market and
the large quantity of Kentucky goods press
ing for sale. The whisky manufacturers
assert that the break in the
price is necessary in self-defense,
caused by the cutting by some members of
the pool, particularly in New Orleans. Re
gret is expressed that the prices could not
have been maintained till May 1, when a
twenty per cent reduction in the production
takes effect. Another matter which makes
the break unfortunate is, that arrangements
were just made, whereby the total cost of
shipment to Bremen from Louisville, Lex
ington, Covington, and Cincinnati has been
reduced from SO to 81. 40 barrel, beginning
on April goth. There is a probability that
the pool may assert itself and resume the
control of prices.

New YORK, April 18.-There were symp-
toms in favor Of better market for stocks
as soon as the exchange opened this morn
ing. The shorts covered large lines and
showed some disposition to buy for turn
on the long side. Everything went on swim
mingly until weak spots in Erie second
bonds and stock made their appearance. Re-
actions then set in. Lackawanna fell to
11SM, Reading lost point and the rest fol-
lowed suit. Pacific Mail redeemed itself to
some extent, and Omaha preferred rose to
92%. The increased earnings of the last
named brings in buyers for it ON any de-
cline.
racted the attention of many of the stock
operators in Wall street.
The volume of business increased during
the afternoon hours, with much activity in
the Coalers, Union Pacific, Pacific Mail, and
several others. The Omahas were quite
buoyant at the end, the preferred touching
93%, the common 3215. Reading dragged.
Prices at the finish were at about the best for
the day The market closed strong, with
good buying of many of the dividend paying
stocks. The bears appeared to be somewhat
damaged.
The Canadian Pacific's earnings for the
second week of April increased $1,000.
Henry Clews & Co. say: ''The market was
bulldozed all day, apparently to admit of buy
ing stocks. The main attack was on Reading
and Erie. The latter was knocked down to
1872, the lowest price for many years. But
even at that, considering its entire want of
dividend qualities, it is not particularly
cheap Still, under the cover of its depres-
sion, other securities we're freely bought for
long account in some cases and to cover
shorts in others, and the less pressure to sell
and the fewer stocks being offered during the
last hour of business caused more promis-
ing closing. The past few days have wit
messed large forced sales of various securities
owing to exhaustion of margins, together
with the discouragement of holders Good
stocks in our judgment can now be picked
up on the weak turns in the market and will
prove to fully compensate after while for
the risk incurred"
"Wheat opened strong and excited, with
The shorts anxious buyers. Many of them
doubled up and went long in hope of regain
ing as bulls the scalps lost as bears. The
advance was based on better cables, cold,
rainy weather, and Primes reports showing
the condition of the growing cropto be 3 per
cent. less since his last. While it is true
that wheat has now had an advance of over
71lc from the lowest point, it must not be
forgotten that it previously declined zoe al
most without a break, and the return swing
of the pendulum is likely to be correspond
ingly large. The bullish feeling is growing
daily, and while it may be sale on this
bulge for quick turn, few days of warm
weather will likely cause a reaction. We
would advise great caution in going short,
and repeat our advice of last week, that it is
still purchase on weak spots.''

Dangerous Floods in New England.

New YORK, April 1S.-Reports of heavy
rains and floods continue to come in from
Maine and New Hampshire. The high water
has caused suspension of work in many
mills, and it is threatening bridges and
dams. At Milltown, Maine, the water has
risen foot since yesterday, and it is feared
the logs will break loose. In
that case great damage will be
done to property. At Laconia,
N. H.. Lake Winnepeesaukee is rising an
inch an hour. The dam has started to move.
If it breaks, many houses will be carried
down the river.
WORCESTER, Mass, April 18.-It is feared
the dam at North Pond will give way. The
Pond contains 500,OOO,O00 gallons of water.
The water is about seven feet above the level
of the city of Worcester, and should the wa
ter break away, the consequences would be
disastrous.

was better demand, and about all the fresh
receipts were sold at an early hour, the mark
ct closing steady at the decline noted above.
Hogs opened rather weak, but the early
sales showed little or no variation as com
pared with yesterday, but as the forenoon
passed away prices gradually weakened and
at noon were about 10c lower and dull, with
half the offerings unsold, but later prices raj
lied little and closed about sc below yester-
days last sales.
A. NJ. Wright & Co. say: cat present the
outlook favors still higher quotations in
wheat, yet our friends should remember that
prices don't always go either up or down
without reactions, and the present is not
likely to be an exception to the rule.''
Milmine, Bodman 81 Co., say: ''We
think the danger is now that everybody will
get long on the stuff, the export demand be
shut off and the foundation be laid for an
other severe break when this bull raid has
spent its force. Still prices are low, and it
may be the boom will gather force with the
advance and prices be carried 3 to sc higher
on this wave of excitement. Much will de-
pend now on how far the other will side respond
to the boom, and unless we have some sup
port from them or some accident of weather
to interfere with the favorable progress of
the growing crop we don't see how the
advance can be carried beyond few cents
more, but as we have often remarked before,
speculation often does wondrous things, up
setting the calculations of everybody. We
reDeat AGAIN what we have said in these let
ters for several days past This is market
now that no prudent operators should fight
either way beyond half cent or so, and still
think it dangerous to sell short, and would
advise purchases for the time being, on all
breaks, as the safest course to pursue -
