Some farmers find it an advantage
to plant corn on their clover sod with
manure, and then follow with potatoes
the following spring. The potatoes
are less likely to be scabby than when
planted directly on n clover lea, but in
a dry season are more apt to be in,

to plant potatoes after corn, the land

What happened The Democrats brought
into Congress a measure for revising the tariff
and dcprving it of its protcctonist features
Polk did not exert himself to secure its defeat
He did not prove to be rs sound on the tariff
as Clay. As for Dallas, the President. he
gave his vote in favor of the free-tradc tariff
bill OF 5 IS, when the two parties were evenly
divided III the Senate. The bill became a law
by means of his casting vote. Pennsylvania
was betrayed by its own representative who
had been masqucrading rs a protcctionist only
to go over to the frce-tIaders when the critical
moment came.
The industries of the United States must not
be placed ut the mercy of party which from
the beginning of its history has been in SYM
pathy with free trade. Mr.. Cleveland is not as
good tariff man as Mr.. Blaine Professor

about the question at all, is known to be- in

average $37 90 for all classes. The engineers,

Nearly all these men have votes. Most of them
are intelligent, and understand that a vast
number of able-bodicd men in this country,
who are employed in manufacturing establish

those manufactures are defended against for

that system were broken down, great number
of men employed in manufactures would be
forced to seek a living elsewhere, and the wages
of railway employees would fall with those of
other workers 10 level more nearly correspond
