Farmers Not Easily Fooled.


The free trade organs are following
in candidate Yaple's wake and trying
to persuade the farmers of Michigan
that the tariff is of no service to them /;
that do not need protection on their
wool; that the lumber operations in
the pine woods Of Michigan make 10
market for their supplies; that there is
not enough competition for farmers
n"w, but that agriculture would be
more profitable, md farmers more
prosperous. If the manufactures of
Detroit, Jackson, Grand Rapids. Bay
City and other places should close,
and the thousands connected with
them cease to be CONSUMERS OF farmers
products aud become farmers them
selves.
These fine essays on the bondage of
the farmer to the protected manufac-
turer read TO him like the essays on
farming of the amateur farmer whose
turnips and potatoes cost him 10 cents
apiece TO raise, and who invites his
guests to either milk or champagne, be.
cause they both cost about the same
price. When the distorted statistics
and the rhetoric are oil squeezed out
of these essays there is about as much
left of them that appeals to the exper-
fence of the farmer, as there was in the
farmers lea of his city relative, ~
dude, who was visiting him. After eye
ing him from top to toe and looking
ut his cigarette. lie remarked "Well,
Algernon, or whatever your name is,
after you have taken off your new hat
and spit once or twice their ain't much
left of you, is thereg' Tie farmers
are not SO easily deluded into believ-
!ng TINT protection is running them,
as the free trade essaylst imagine. -

The West Branch Club lost the first

More green tea is sold in this country
than In Europe. The reason for its
popularity here is, no doubt, as q re-
cent English writer has observed, in a
great measure due to our intercourse
with japan, whore green tea alone is
manufactured. In the making of tea,
as in everything which this curious
people do, the Japanese have way of
their own. 1t would startle an Assam
planter, to see them in picking time
stripping the branches of the leaves.
instead of scientifically selecting only
the young, undeveloped leaf, the first
leaf below that, and half the second,
from which would be evolved respect
lively Broken Tips or "Orange
Pekoe,' "Pekoe" and "Souchong."
Any one accustomed to the elaborate
machines for rolling" ana "firing" the
leaves which are in use on European
plantations, might be amused at the
japanese method where the workers
roll and squeeze and twist the leaves
in their hands on parchment stretched
over a charcoal fire. Very fine teas
are, nevertheless, manufactured by the
Japanese, and in the celebrated district
of III rumor tells of tea worth slope
pound, though it is not definitely
stated, whether that price has ever &C.
tually been paid for it. Moreover, in
the case of teas intended for ex-
port, only so much work is done
upon them as will enable them
goodwin" of Yokohama, where they are
worked up for the market before being
shipped. AS is now well known, the
difference between green tea and black
lies in the fact that in the former fer
mentation has been arrested by firing"
the color of the leaf being in this way
partially preserved and fixed; with the
latter, by much longer process, fer
mentation up to q certain point is per-
mitted, and the leaves are not fired"
until they have become oxidized by
exposure to the air. In Japan the
leaves, after being picked and with
cred" by short exposure, are fired in
the way described above sufficiently to
stop fermentation, and in this partially
cured state are sent to the European
tea merchants, by whom they are again

and over and round and round in large
basins built over charcoal fire. The
coloring or painting" is also done at
this period by means of spoonful Of
indigo and powdered soapstone put
into each basin, and thus disseminated
through its contents. But in Japan
tea is not grown for export only, but is
the chief article of home consumption;
and these domestic teas as procured In
the country are probably the only sam
pies of unadulterated green tea which
foreigners are likely to meet with.
They produce beverage viii CHI is

Notwithstanding the way in which it is

dence in the country, be readily dis

leaving the Sheriff without any security
back Of him, the suit was not pressed. 1t
is still unsettled. He set up the defense
that IL was his deputy that got away with
the money. Whether this is q good defense
or not can not be shown until the case
comes to trial. Jake Miller, former Lieu
tenant Governor of the State, who was
appointed Consul General at Frankfort
on the Main, has always been Republi-
can. Hew off two years ago on account
of the temperance question IN Ohio, and
during this Temperance departure was sent
abroad by this administration. He was the

ton which elected John Sherman to the

gems to be found in the Ohio list. The
number is too great to be criticised within
the dimensions of an ordinary newspaper
letter. With the exception of the appoint
ment of Mr.. Urner as marshal, and of Mr..
Pendleton as minister to Berlin, there is
hardly a high-class appointment in the
whole lot But as there are no mugwumps
in Ohio, this element of correction being
absent, may explain in a measure why the
list has been so thoroughly partisan and SO
thoroughly Objectionable.
