EFFECTS OF FORESTS
In the Protection of Vegetation
From Destructive FrOsts.

Hon. Cassius M. Clay, the venerable
kentucklan, gives this statement in th g
Indiana Farmer:
May IA cold wave set in here
from the northwest, and the night of
the same day very heavy frost and
some ice was seen. Tomatoes, beans
and even Indian corn and shrubs were
killed in Madison county.
l live on undulating ground, and the
winds swept from over the Kentucky
river two miles away. The narrow strip
of my native forest lay in the direction
of the wind. So soon as the cold wave
crossed the river it passed through the
woodland on the river hills, and on
through my forest and landscape in my
yard to a plat of garden land, where
melons, corn, beans and peas were up.
The land was the lowest in cultivation,
and by the natural law should have
been the most liable to frosts. But, to
my great surprise. not leaf on any of
these plants was touched with frost.
Three hundred yards from this l had
another plat of culture on comparative
ly high ground, and the whole bean
rows were utterly killed.
through long treelesS vista the hills
over the Kentucky river two miles
away.
Standing in the first plat | could not
see 100 yards, and rising to the highest
ground l could not of course see
through my fifty acres of forest.
Now if the forests did not save the
beans, what did?
Thus forests save us from drouth and
frosts, and turn deserts into fruitful
lands

EphemeraI Fame.

New York Telegram.
How ephemeral is fame. A man is
great to-day; tomorrow he is unheard
of.
This sad truth is recalled by the fact
that the once great and only John L.
Sullivan is thing of the past.
Only 500 men. none of them promi-
nent even in sporting circles, attended
his testimonial" last night. Yet time
was when Madison Square garden was
too small to hold the Boston mans adj
mirerS.
Shakespeare said:
May not Imagination trace the noble dust
of Alexander till he find it stopping a bung-
hole!
1t may, it may. But in this case it is
what came out of the bung-hole that has
stopped the noble dust of Sullivan.

THE NATIONAL PRESS.
Wilson, of Minnesota.

New York Times.
The proposition to put lumber on the
free list was the principal subject in
the tariff debate in the house yesterday.
Mr.. Wilson, of Minnesota, made an eff
fective speech, showing where the ben
eft of the duty went to. 1t has built up
the fortunes of the millionaires of the
Northwest and advanced the price of
pine lands from 800 to 1000 per cent,
while that of farm lands has not in
creased l per cent. The price which is
added to lumber by the duty goes di-
reetly into the pockets of those engaged
in a arelentless destruction of the forests,
and the people who are compelled to
buy of them are taxed to build up colos
sal fortunes. Those rapidly acquired
fortunes are standing evidence that
no protection is needed for the business
of turning the forests of the Northwest
into merehantable lumber, and that is
benefit only to those directly engaged
in the business.

TARIFF PLANK OF 'SS.

From the Democratic Platform.
Of all the industrious freemen of our
land, the immense majority, including
every tiller of the soil, gain no advan-
tage from excessive tax laws, but the
price of nearly everything they buy is
increased by the fayoritism on an un-
equal system of tax legislation. All un-
necessary taxation is unjust taxation.
1t is repugnant to the creed of Demo-
Gratis that by such taxation the cost of
the neceSSarieS of life should be I'M
justly increased to all our people.
Judged by Democratic principles the i'll
tereStS of the people are betrayed, when,
by unnecessary taxation, trusts and COM
binationS are permitted and foStered,
which will unduly enrich the few that
combine to rob our citizens by depriving
them of the benefit of natural competi-
ton. Every Democratic rule of govern
mental action is violated when, through
unnecessary taxation, vast sum of
money, far beyond the needs of an
economical administration, is drawn
from the people and channels of trade,
and accumulated as a demoraliZing sur
plus in the national treasury. The
money now lying idle in federal treas
ury, resulting from SuperfuOuS taxa
tlon, amounts to more than S125,000,000,
and the surplus collected, is reach
ing the sum of more than S60,000,000,
annually. Debauched by this immense
temptation, the remedy of the Republi-
can party is to meet and exhaust it by
extravagant taxation. The Democratic
remedy is to enforce frugalty in public
expenditures and abolish unnecessary
taxation. Our established domestic in
duStrieS and enterprises should not and
need not be endangered by reduction
and correction of the burdens Of tax
alton. On the contrary, a fair and care
ful revision of our tax laws, with due
allowance for the difference between
the wages of American and foreign la
Dor must permit and encourage every
branch of such industry and enterprise,
by giving them assurance of an eX-
tended market, and steady, continuous
operation. In the interest of American
labor, which should in no event be neg
iected, the revision of our tax laws. con-
templated by the Democratic party,
and to promote the advantage of such
labor by cheapening the costs of the
necesSarieS of life in the home of every
working man, and at the same time in
securing steady and remunerative en-
ployment.
Upon this question of tariff reform, so
closely concerning every phase Of our
national life, and upon every question
involved in the problem of good govern
ment, the Democratic party submits its
principles and professions to the intelli-
gent SutfrageS Of the American people.

Pittsburg Post.
Blakely Hall, an intelligent cor
respondent of the New York Sun, who
has seen much of Mr.. Blaine recently,
cables his paper that Mr.. Blaine is
greatly nonplussed at Cleveland's popu-
Iarity. He said, ''thoughtfully," to Mr..
Hallthe other day, that lit was a fact
which could not be explained, but
which could none the less be gainsaid."
And yet there is no mystery about it.
Mr.. Cleveland S popularity is due simply
to his honest, straightforward, fearless
discharge of his public duties. He never
misleads, betrays or fiatters the people.

What President Cleveland did sug

ed and enforced, is policy of tariff re-
vision and reduction for the purpose of
reducing revenues that have become re-
dundant, and the accumulation of which
has become a serious menace to the
business of the country. What he did
propose, and proposes now, and what
the Democratic party proposes. is reduce
the war tariff and to cut down taxation
to the actual necessities of the govern

free trade about such proposition, nor
does it raise the question of free trade

on Saturday last, Congressman Nelson,
of Minnesota, assured his Republican
compereS that Minnesota was good for
a rouslng Republican majority next fall
regardless of the action of his party on
the tariff question. Isn't Mr.. Nelson

his sanguine expectations of Republican
success upon the fact of a split in the
Democratic party? If the latter, we
would not wish to be put upon record

that Blaine shall be nominated in spite
