The Negroes Only Hope.

The negro vote of the South will
not be fully cast and fully counted
until the Republican party resumes the
control of the Federal Government.
All this is known to the men who as
sembled in Indianapolis. The trouble
with them is that they are professional
negroes and propose to trade with the
side that is for the moment in the as
cendancy. Just now that is the Dem
ocratic, and we must expect such as
semblages as long as that party is in
power. Most of the race, however, are
too honest and sincere to join such a
movement. They are willing to forego
temporary advantages in order to
struggle for their rights. and they
know that they must depend for aid
upon the Republican party, and the
Republican party alone.-N r Mail

1t pays to pow the second crop Of
clover under. 1t may seem like a loss
Of hay. but the benefit to the land will
more than balance the apparent loss.
Those who keep few pigs in
limited space will find that the weeds
from the garden and grass from the
lawn will prove a great part of their
keeping if properly used.

Sheep, remarks the NeU England
Farmer, should never be allowed to
pasture on land which has been top
dressed with manure, or to Craze on
land which is liable to be overlooked or
which contains stagnant pools, on &C
count of the danger of the sheep be-
coming infested with parasitical life.
Farmers Soup: Mince three onions
and fry in butter; add tablespoonful
Of flour and quart of water, with three
chopped carrots, two turnips, bunch
Of celery and little parsley. Stir un-
til it boils, and season with salt and
pepper. Cut some crusts of bread, dry
in the oven, and throw them in the
soup.
1t has been suggested that by prop
or management the seeds in the apple
might be entirely eliminated. That
is not half so important, however, as
getting rid of seeds in the strawberry,
blackcap, etc. These are not only
source of annoyance, but-especially
the strawberry seeds often cause
serious irritation of the intestines.-

The best producing food for
summer is wheat and oats with milk
and bran mash. For winter, wheat,
boiled potatoes, mixed warm milk and
bran for morning feed; at night, corn
and oats mixed. Fresh meat and table
refuse are also essential, as are pulver-
lied bones, lime and oyster shells.
Vegetables and fruits are also fed with
profit, and great care must be taken
that they have plenty OF pure fresh
water.-Prdirie Farmer.
Hot alum water is the best insect
destroyer known. Put the alum in hot
water and let it boil till it is all dis
solved; then apply the solution hot with

and creeping things are killed by it;
while it has no danger of poisoning the
familp or injuring the property.-Farm

A Belgian Manufacturers Comments on

When w. H. Perkins, who has re-
Gently returned from European trip,
was asked what he had noticed about
free trade in Europe, he said:
while in Brussels, Belgium, last
summer l saw some skilled laborers
making spiral steel car springs, such
as we use on our freight cars. They
received so cents per day, while our
blacksmiths receive 81 for the same
work. / asked the Belgian proprietor
why he didn't pay more. He said:
4 am handicapped. When get 800
worth of car springs into the New
York harbor (for / sell my car springs
in America) l have to salute your
Yankee flag and give up 800

"sIt comes of my mems wages he
said.
"'But suppose America had free
trade?'
NC SACidIucQ, w uN,

"'How long?'

"'But there are politicians in Am

further reduction and successive pro

further reduction and successive pro
gressive steps toward free trade.
The whole course of the Administra-
ton has been series of experiments
and hedgings. The cant decisions OF
Civil-Service were displaced by the &C
ceptable demands of political heelers.
The protective element of the Demo-
cratic party has been ordered to the
rear. Its opponents have been humil-
lated, and its leaders degraded to the
ranks. Mr.. Randall-too honest to
apostatize for the Speakership-s stands
denounced and disgracsL. Even re-
cruited mugwump free trader, recently
pollywogging himself with obseQuious
wriggling into the Democratic mud, is
of more influence and weight
For fifty years free trade has been a
political faith and inspiration with an
active section of the Democratic party.
The Cataclysm of the rebellion pre-
vented its control. Now with peace
inertia, and forgetfulness, this faction
growing dominant, the long hidden
dynamite of its purpose menaces by
its presence and its possible explosion.
Parties can not stand still. The repel-
lent elements gain defniteness and
strength and urge them further and
wider apart. The protective policy
and its opposite will contend to the ex-
tinguishment of one or the other. The
destructive fire will win, or the pro-
tective water put it out.
1t is unfortunate that such import
ant questions of National policy should
be submitted to jury largely unintel-
ligent, and moved more largely by
party allegiance and prejudice, while
labor is standing idle, capital is wait
ing. industry is aghast aud enterprise
folds its hands for the verdict. The
hazard is that specious anu delusive
pleadings, Intentional warnings of the
evidence by the Administration attor-
neys, whose retention depends upon
success, may win.
Yet it does not seem possible that
the people of the United States can be
forgetful that the tried Republican
policy-not an experiment, but an ex-
perience-has given it so unequaled a
