The Hon. ID. j. Johnston is the superin-
tendent of the extensive hosiery mills known
AS the Harmony Mills. of Cohoes, on the
Mohawk river, New York He has recent
iy given his views to the press ON the Mills
bill, and has been roundly abused and mis-
represented by the protectionist press. In
reply To the charge that he is a "free trader"
he says: ~ am not free trader on the
contrary, am, and always have been u
home protectionist, and for this reason am
in hearty sympathy with the Mills bill, and
Iwould be in favor of any tariff measure tina;
gives 40 per cent. protection" He declares
that manufacturers who are opposing re-
vision of the tariff, blind to the growing SEN
timent in its favor, are making great mis-
take, as they will find when a measure of
tariff reform is passed, not by Republicans
or Democrats, but by tariff reiormers, max.
ing the duty on manufactured goods from
10 per cent. to 10 per cent. less than in the
present bill" He then describes some OF
the work of the present leaders of the Re-
publican party, and concludes: "Now, if
not 10 follow such men and adopt their
measures is to be a Democrat, then accept
the designation; but whether Democrat
or Republican, am and intend 10 be very
independent one, acting according to my
convictions"

The poisoning of whole family in Phil
adelphia from eating canned tomatoes has
again called public Attention to the danger
lurking in packed vegetables The assur-
ance has heretofore been given that if the
food was used as soon as opened there was
no danger, which was supposed to develop
from the exposure OF the vegetables to the
atmosphere. But in this case of the Ranck
family the contents of the can seem to have
been freshly opened. The tomatoes, too,
were packed by one of the most careful and
reliable houses in the country. 1t is mat
ter for the most careful investigation, in or
der that the cause of the danger may be
definitely ascertained and the risk of death
avoided.

AS the Thurman bandanna promises to
be important and much used between now
and November, it is well to know just what
is en- regle both as to area, color and general
pattern. If you would have an exact fac
simie OF the Old Romans kerchief get one
exactly thirty two inches square. This is
vital. An inch more or an inch less will
not do AS to color, it must be u pure tur-
key red-that rich hue suggestive of buck
ct OF bullock's blood. The pattern must be
in dull yellow-not the bright glaring yel
low affected by the turbaned Turk, but a
subdued gamboge, if such tint can be i'm
agined. The material must be of surah silk
and if you care particularly for durable
handkerchief that will last until nomination
day four years hence, then get the Scotch
importation. 1t was with some difficulty
that quotation on this class of goods was
obtained. The trade has been practically
dead for years. Two dollars each will be
about the ruling price. and for cotton goods

pone action on the Mills bill and give
hearings to parties interested from now
till next December, Congress can get
ready and adjourn by the latter part OF
September.
Notwithstanding the reports that the
Senate will not consider tariff bill this
session many Democrats are of the opin-
ion that the Senators will bring in bill
and attempt to pass it. The reasons as
signed for such belief are that the sit.
uation is too critical to defer action, and
not to bring in bill would be a confcs-
sion of disagreement or difference in the
chief issue of the campaign.
1t is generally accepted that the plan
adopted will be to bring in the bill, dis
cuss it for several weeks, then take a
recess of two or three weeks in order to
give an opportunity to Congressman to
go home and put in some campaign
work, then come back and adjourn with
