SATURDAY EVENING. APRIL 3. 1886


The republicans of Springfield can not
afford To let "a great democratic rictorg''
be telegraphed from here over the country
next Tuesday morning.
That is just what the democratic party
here are figuriag for. That is what the So
called citizens ticket means. however some
uuSuspecting citizens may have been led
to believe otherwise. The conflicting
elements recently stirred up here
will make a bad settlement if they settle 10
the bottom OF the democratic party.
Some of the prohibitiOniStS of the repub-
Hcan party may think it will be a good thing
at this time in Springfield to vote with the
democrats for the reform of the city; but
We should be sorry to think such thing of
any candid and intelligent citizen.
Some Of the workingmen Of the republi-
can party may believe that their con
ditfon will be bettered by putting
into the ballOtboX next Monday
a disguised democratic ticket: but such
workingmen should ask themselves what
the democratic party has ever done for the
workingmen of this country from the time
it mGintdin,d The right Of fOlir million
1r0rkingmen 10 be sldreS to this hour. Do
not be deceived. If there has ever been
party in this country that has shown by its
acts that it is on the side Of American
labor. it is the republican party. Do not be
led away bv vdemagoguish protestatiOns. The
democratic party is the workingman's friend
from The lips out. Ii is always his friend
Just before election but what has it ever
done in his interest except ,rith the mouth :
What can il do. what will it do for him here
and now? What will the men elected on
the so-called citizens ticket do for him
that his own party will not do?
Stick to the party ticket. Stand by the
party of your choice. and do not give way
to party whm that is personal and tran
Sient and that will leave nothing but regret
in the outcome.
Vote the republican ticket straight, and
give the city of Springfield a good old
straight republican victory.

| am specially interested i'll the production
of ramie urtica or stingless nettle 1t grows
from the roots, cuttings. or seed, and. once
planted grows on forever without rcplant
ing 1t attains height Of from twelve ,
fifteen feet the stalks are aS thick as they c, n
stand upon the ground, and iii the favorable
climate of India will give crop every q rec
months all the year round. The bark can
be made into a fiber that is like silk, and
mixed with silk - that it can scarcely be
detected. 1t can also lie mixed with wool or
used alone in the making Of many fabrics
and of the finest kind, from sail-cloth and
hOse-pipe to the finest silk for dresses and
handkrrChjCfS. 1t has twice the strength of
flax and is three times as strong As Russian
hemp.
This plant has been grown by the Chi
neSe for centuries, but they have taken off
the bark by hand and made it into fiber i'll
the same crude way. Hence but little has
been done with it Some years
ago quantity of the fiber was
sent to England where it was
made into the finest fabrics which were
placed on exhibition and compelled the ad-
miration of all who saw them But owing
to the difficulty of ungumming or disin-
tegrating and bleaching the fiber it has not
come into Use until the last few years. A
number of machines have been invented and
various chemical processes discovered by
which the bark can be taken from the stalk
and bleached.
In France | saw large factory where the
crude bark is turned into the finest yarns.
that bring from 81 to $50 a pound. This
factory is owned b. French senator. The
French are giving much attention to the
culture of this plunt-mOre probably than
any other people. They have started nur-
series at Avignon and Marseilles, and also
have large plantations in Algeria. 4
FrenChman has $50 acres near Cairo and an
English company an equal number i'll the
Wynaad. southeast of Bombay. | propose
to introduce the culture of the plant among
the native Christians of India, 50 as to fur
