Why the Terms Democrat and Free
Trader Are Synonymous.
BY general consent the Republican
party applies the term free trade to
the Democratic party, and. when
spoken of in connection with the tariff.
it is called the ''free trade party"
The Democrats object to this name,
and the greater portion of the Demo-
cratic press protest against the appli-
cation of the term. Let us see how
this is. In the first place no small fac
ton Of the Democratic party are free
traders, according TO their own state
ments, and, when speaking for the
party, claim that the platform is much
more of a free trade platform than q
protection one. An analysis of the
tariff plank of 1884, which was re-
affirmed at St. Louis, must be accepted
as the sentiment of the party regarding
the subject. There is but one material
point in that platform, for, regardless
of all that is said concerning labor and
wages, the essence of the whole resolu-
ton is found in the words: 1--WE de-
mand that Federal taxation shall be ex.
clusively for public purposes" This
is simply another way OF saying: "a
tariff for revenue only" which was the
language of the platform Of 1880. or.
1--WE demand that all custOm-hOuse tax
alton shall be only for revenue" which
was the language of 1876. "A tariff
for revenue only" or Exclusively for
public purposes" can not mean q
tariff for any thing else. 1t means q
''tariff for revenue only" regardless of
every other consideration, for were
other objects considered it could not be
a tariff for revenue only or for public
purposes exclusively. "Only" or "ex-
clusively" can not mean moro. and
revenue simply is all that is embraced
in the term. A tariff that does not
protect the interests for which it was
designed from foreign influences. is in
every material sense free trade. A
tariff for revenue only can not mean a
protective tariff. Protection does not
enter into the idea of a revenue tariff
at all. It is no part of it, and if such a
tariff would prove protective it would
be only accidental. Incidental pro-
lection" is no protection. Any thing
that may or may not be. is not, and
the only protection that can be is di-
rect. The difference between the two
parties is. the Republicans demand pro-
lection as the prime factor of a tariff.
while the Democrats demand revenue
as the only purpose of duties on inn
ports. A revenue tariff can not be q
protective tariff. for the stimulus which
a reduction of duties will give impOr-
tation will make necessary SO great a
reduction that the protective element
will entirely disappear. and its effect
be lost. When this is gone what have
we better than free trade? According
to the declarations of the party we do
not see why objections should be urged
to the term of free traders. Chicago

FENCES FOR FARMS.
Why They Should He Banislled By LeEis-
lative Regulations.

lative Regulations.
If there is any one part of the farm
that calls for economy of labor and ex-
pense, it is useless and unnecessary
fencing. The Ohio farmer has learned
the useless expense of fencing. and has.
by law. banished all needless expense
of fencing, except for his own needs.
I write more for the farmers of other
States who have not learned the cost Of
fences sufficiently to Danish them. The
fair face of many a fine farm is disfig
ured by unsightly and costly fences.
The day is not far distant when there
will be only fences enough for the
necessary stock of the farm. 1t is an
injustice to ask any one to fence
against the public or against the stock
of others.
The cost is not the only reason for
banishing fences. The fence is har-
Dor for foul weeds, which spread seeds
among crops, making labor for the
former. The land occupied by
fences is another great argument why
they should be banished; the land Is OF
more value than the fence. In the
older settled parts of the country it is
a question whether it pays to fence land
that can not be cultivated for what
profit can be had by pasture. i am Of
the opinion that such would pay better
if left to grow up in timber that will BE-
so much needed in the near future. l
think that one acre in ten ought to be
left to grow wood for lumber and fuel.
Do away with fences, and save all tim
Der possible. especially Of the valuable
kinds. Our forestry associations are
creating good sentiment against the
wholesale destruction of timber. In
many places much valuable timber is
yearly burned.-FranE Lee, IN Farm

MY LITTLE PLAYMATE.

On three years and ten:
And when my daily tasks are done,
And laid aside my pen.
call my little playmate in,
Now passing on to three,
For have need as much Of her
As she has need OF me.
She draws me from the world of fact,
With all its selfish strife;
She breaks the prosy lines of thought
That make up common life;
She lures me TO her little world.
Where airy creatures dwell.
Where all things dance in Joy and light,
Beneath some magic spell
She wakes again those dreamy songs
That never yet were sung.
Which thrill through happy little hearts
But not through human tongue:
She carols like q morning lark
To usher in the day.
And bring back memories from land
That lieth far away.
Her roundelays and jingles make
Such music in my ear.
With oil her tricky words and ways,
can not choose but hear.
We leave all other verse aside
For that small classic lore
Which Mother Goose has garnered up
In her undying store:
The naught- ways OF JOHNNY Greene,
The virtuous Johnny Stout:
TIE boy in blue who lay asleep
When COW and sheep were out;
~
With head beneath his wing,
Because the snow is on the ground
And he is cold. poor thing:
The accident to Jack and Jill,
The hurryinx little Jane:
The man who scratched out both his ey ca,
And scratched them in again:
The active COW that jumped the moon,
The bull that tolled the bell
These are few. but many more
Too numerous to tell
And then we play at coop and seek:
The mystery is small;
We hide behind the nearest chair,
Or in the open hall;
And every time that search is made.
Within this same small round.
The happy shout OF joy goes up.
Because the lost is found.
Oh. lie: me never grow too Old
To join in merry glee
With any bright and laughing child
That climbs upon my knee:
Let me still keep the sportive mind
Until my dying day:
For what is life, in all its length.
Without the children's play.

The man dashed on and LangStaff
crept back to the house, covering as if
struck a heavy blow.
He knew that the whisky captured
was the same that had been placed in
the cabin by the Deesons: and that
Tanner was innocent.
The crisp. mountain air could not
cool the fever that now burned
in his veins. Cold and hot
flashes swept over him and the
sweat started from every pore. Weak
and trembling he sank upon the bench
and endeavOred to satisfy his conscience
that silence was not criminal.
The events of the past two days
swan before his eyes and some fiend
seemed continually shrieking in his
ears:
''Zeke Tanner is not your friend.
Think of the mortgage! Fifty dollars
for saying nothing. Let him go. Think
of the mortgage! It's none of your
business anyway. Think of the mort

The bl0od-shOt eyes and drawn fea-

from her lips.
She half dragged him into the house
and there made him swallow cup after
cup of coffee that was as strong and Bit
ter as quinine.
The coffee acted as a stimulant and
he ate something. then announced his
intention of going to the village. but
positively refused to reveal the nature
of his errand.
On leaving the house he walked

wishes to do and intends to accomplish
it in the shortest possible time.

PRIMITIVE MANS FOOD.


Vegetable Nature.
Primitive man, whatever he was first
cast, whether in one center or in more
than one. must of necessity have found
his food in the plant world. We can
not imagine him commencing his career
learned in the arts of hunting, killing
and cooking the lower animals for
food. Many infer from this circum-
stance that the argument in favor Of
the vegetarian practice is copied direct
from nature, signed and delivered by
her. Not quite so fast. There is one
interposing barrier to the free acccp-
lance Of vegetarian deed and act Of
conveyance of food from nature to
man.. Nature herself, of her own right
royal will, makes for animals, herhiv-
orous and carnivorous, one distinctive
animal food: q secretion from the living
animal organism, q fluid which IS q
standard f0od-meat and drink in one
the fluid known under the name of
milk. Against absolute vegetarianism,
then, we may fairly set up one excep-
ton derived from nature as the uner-
ring guide. On observing the habits
of animals we discover another natural
fact. We find that animals of quite
different natures. in respect to prlmi-
tive selection of food, possess the power
Of changing their modes of feeding and
OF passing over. as it were, from Ole
to another. This change is distinct
but limited, and we must accept it with
all its extensions on the one side and
with all its limitation ON the other.
The fruit-eating ape can be taught un-
der privation to subsist ON animal diet;
a dog can, believe, be taught to sub
sist on vegetable diet. But it would
be as impossible to teach sheep to eat
flesh as it would be to make a lion feed
on grass.-Dr. Richardson, in Long.
