The discovery by the inhabitants of local.

through the valuable experience OF some one
who has been benefited and cured, that Hos

means of fortifying the system against it, a
feeling of more security and tranquility reigns
throughout the whole neighborhOod. Besides
the febriie forms of matarial disease. dumb

she said, :" l want a mate, too, and

He closed with the bargain, and the
widow keeping her word, he is now

A young man at church bazaar
was buttOn-holed by lady; she
would not let him 60 until he bought
something. He looked at her stall,

ic platform Of 1888, endorsed by the
st. Louis Convention and the Presi
dent. Section No. 40 of the Mills
Bill reads:- e
"That all clauses of section 3244
of the Revised Statutes and all laws
amendatory thereof which impose
any special tax upon manufacturers
of stills, retail dealers in liquors
and retail dealers in malt liquors
are hereby repealed"
1T is STREE WHISKEY" OR MOTH
ING AND "FREE TRADE
. OR NOTHING!
In their zeal to popularize the
Mil's bill, and allay the Indignation
OF patriotic voters at its concession
to foreign demands for the repeal of
our tariff laws, free trade organs
and orators are persistently assert.
ing that the said bill proposes an
average reduction Of only per cent.
of the protection afforded by the ex-
listing tariff. This claim like all
other free trade propositions, loses
all its force when the reader turns
from the contemplation of asser-
tions to the facts of history.
When commencing his bill to the
support of "revenue reformS,n Mr..
Mills announced that it provided for
a reduction in the revenue, amount
ing to S5O,591 1886. In statement
of the revenues received during the
year 1887, used in the same speech,
he credited the customs with $780,
TAI $3.50. Page 1916 Cong. Record.
The author of the bill thus admits a
contemplated reduction equivalent
to % per cent. of the existing pro-
lection to the industries affected.
In other words, he acknowledges
that the proposed bill will obliterate
more than one fourth of the distinc-
ton between our present policy of
protection and absolute free trade.

Apples will be plentiful this year.
The weather in nearly all sections OF
the country where apples are grown in
commercial quantities has been most
favorable. The fruit has matured in
remarkably fine condition. Very
large crops are promised in the States
of New York, Ohio, Indiana, Ar.
kansas, Missouri and Maine, and a
fair crop in Michigan. 1t is from
these States that the main supply for
city consumption and for export
comes. Other States, like Rhode Is
land and Connecticut, report lighter
crop than is usual in an seven year y
when the apple yield is generally
large. The Canada crop is reported
as large, although some sections have
suffered from drought.
The crop of greetings is not as large
as last year, but the crop of Baldwins
is enormous. These are always in de-
mand. Other varieties of red apples
are also plentiful, and as red apples
bring the, best price in England, a
great many of them are exported.
Owing to the later ripening only
about half the usual quantity of fruit
is now being shipped to England. The
shipments usually commence in the
early part of August and continue un-
til April. The largest quantity are
sent over in midwinter, when the
shipments run from 10000 to 10000
barrels a week. The quantity export
ed last year was COS, 421 barrels, and
the preceding year it was S07, 1927 bar
rels. In 1881 there was an enormous
crop in this country, and correspon-
dinghy small one in Europe, and the
exports were 1,3z8,S06 barrels. This
is now known as the big apple
year." The apple crop in England
and Scotland is light this year, and
the fruit of poor quality. On the Con-
tinent only half Of an average crop is
reported, and that is mostly made up
of early apples.
