selling them all the time at the very
highest price that the purchaser could
bear-thus illustrating anew and afreSh
that it is free trade and not protection
that gives the wide, the limitless field
for operation through the system of
trusts. For l repeat, as intimated be-
fore, that international trusts on the
basis of free trade cannot be dealt with
and controlled as domestic trusts, that
may grow up under the protective sys-
TEN. Applause.
4 PARTING SHOT,
Finally, gentlemen, on the subject of
trusts, let me say that with all Mr..
Cleveland's denunciation of them, and
all the support which his party gives
them, he failed, and utterly failed, to
strike the point of objection to them.
You will find that described in language
as clear as amber in the letter of accep-
tance by Benjamin Harrison, our candi-
date for President, in which he neither
withholds nor exaggerates, nor sets down
aught in malice, but vindicates with pc
culisr power and peculiar directness the
position which the Republican party
has uniformly held on the whole sub
ject, and l commend you as close to
new reading of the documents, to Mr.
Cleveland's trade message and to
Gen. HarrisOn's letter of acceptance.

THE Mills bill, which is the Legislative
expression Of Democratic policy, removes
protection entirery from goods that we
already import to the amount of $40,
100000 annually, and greatly reduces
the tariff on goods that we import to the
amount of s25O,OOO,O00, all of these
goods entering into competition with
home production. Over $2,000,000,00C
of capital and 1,250,000 persons, repre-
senting nearly 100000 Of population
are employed in producing the articles
with which these importations compete.
These figures give an idea of the extent
of the blow the Democratic party has
aimed at the Industries of this country
at the dictation of the Southern wing of
the party.

DEMOCRACY AND HOME RULE

New York Press.
The Democratic idea of home rule is
perhaps, the most CONSPICUOUS false pre-
tense Of that party Of false pretenses
The Southern States are the home of the
Democratic party. Three or four OF
these States are just as certainly Repub-
lican as the State of Maine, but the Re-
publican majorities have no more voice
in the government of their States than
have the naked Indians on the plains.
The Democratic party favors local self
government for Bulgaria and Timbuc-
too, but opposes the same privilege for
Dakota. The Southern idea Of home
rule is that 100000 white people in
the South should govern 100000
Southern blacks and 100000 people in
the North.
Local self government is a blessed
privilege-a sacred one-dear to the
heart of every true friend of freedom;
but liberty loving men who believe in
local autonomy and who heartily desire
self government extended to Ireland,
Poland and Dakota do not carry their
notion to the unrepublican extreme of
desiring to see the British Empire gov
erned by Ireland, or Russia ruled by
Poland, or the American Union farmed
out to the politicians Of Dakota. And
vet the government of this nation by a
Southern minOrity-a minority class of
a minority sections no more republi-
can and no more consistent with liberty,
equality and justice than would be the
subiugation of the Russian Empire by
the Kingdom of Poland.
The North contains nearly two-thirds
of our national population, four -fifths of
the wealth, pays three-fourths of the
taxes, and nine-tenths of the wages.
And yet this populous and powerful
North is debating with itself whether
it shall bend its neck to the yoke of
that Southern minority to a minority
which only retains control of its own
section by appeals to barbarous hatreds,
by violence, intimidation and fraud.
In 1884 the Northern States declared
for protection by giving 465,000 popu-
lar majority for Blaine, and the Demo-
cratic idea of home rule is that our
Southern masters should force unfriend-
ly and disastrous economic policy on
this Northern majority.

ported $140,OOO.OOO when the Democrat

In the Vegetable Garden.

1t is very important point, in
forming a good garden, so to ar
range the planting OF different
vegetables as to insure both a
judicious selection of sorts and a
proper time of planting for each of
the varieties selected, thereby
securing for the table a succession
of the different kinds extending
through the season, rather than a
dozen varieties all coming in TO-
gether, which it is impossible to
use more than three or four or, on
the other hand, the occurrence
now and then OF times when there
is no vegetable whatever ripe for
the table.
In arranging dates for planting
vegetables for a succession, it
should be noted that as the season
advances and becomes warmer,
peas and, in fact, all kinds of vege-
tables grow faster and overtake
one another, as it would SEEM
The dates of planting the different
sorts do not lead to corresponding
intervals in gathering the crops
For example, though five days
difference in date of planting peas
in April will make about as many
days difference in the time of the
harvesting in June, yet five days
difference in planting in May will
make hardly any visible difference
in the rlpeniDg in July.

A Cure for Soft COrns.

Soft cOrns, as all the sufferers
from them know, differ from hard
corns in position, at least, If not in
palnfulness. The former come prin.
cipally between the toes, where the
flesh is tender.
Their position gives us sufli-
cient clue to the means OF curing
them. Have the shoes moderately
loose. Each morning, place a small
wad of absorbent cotton between
the affected toes. This acts by alb
sorbing the moisture, which is the
life of cOrns, and thus deprived OF
the very means OF existenence they
will completely disappear in short
time.
