Value of Arkansas Land and Products.
 Among the statistics compiled by the bureau of immigration, showing the value of farms in Arkansas and other states, and the relative value of the products of the states named, it appears that the total value of farms in this state is $74,249,655, while it's products are estimated at $43,796, ,261. California, on the other hand, has a total farm value of $262,O51 ,282, the value of its products being 59,721,- 216. It will be seen by comparison that the products of California are only about one-fourth as much as the lands are worth, while the Arkansas farms yield yearly revenue of over one-half of the estimated value of the lands.

Colman's Rural World, in it's mar ket report of St. Louis for early May says:
 Arkansas is shipping here and else- where at present the finest strawber- ries she has ever grown. A wonder ful improvement is shown in the matter of cultivation, handling, pack ing, etc., and her fruit is bringing far more than that from any of the four or five states competing just now. She has evidently profited by the ex- perience of late years to grow less and better fruit. The berries are SO very clean as compared with former early shipments that mulching is evidently resorted to, and the benefits of the steps taken arc visible. The crop is not large, but has clearly been well cared for, and the growers will realize far more money than they would if favored with a full crop.

Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, one of the

Senator Mitchell, 'tin the newspapers Of In

were that the measures were In direct con

take the form Of statutory law. One Of the
bills that Senator Harrison opposed was
passed by both houses and was vetoed by
President Arthur. During one of my talks
with Senator Harrison he said: AS law

"A former partner of Gen. Har
rison's, the Hon. w. P. Fishback,
after the nomination, expressed him
self in regard to the general thus:
"He possesses all the qualities of

prepares 3 case with consunate skill;
bis written pleadings are models of
skill AID cle.sncs 50 and b7e7ity; he is
peerless in Indiana as an examiner OF
witnesses; he discusses legal ques-
ton in written brief or in oral ar
gument with convincing logic, and as
an advocate it may be said of him
that when he has finished an address
to the jury nothing remains to be said

heard able lawyers in Indiana and
elsewhere say he was the hardest man
to follow they ever met. No lawyer
who has ever met Gen. Harrison in

placed small estimate upon his leg

While he was yet poor and his fam

earn for their support, the war came
on; but he belonged to a patriotic
race, and was ready to make great
sacrifices for his country. Gov. Nor

colonel of the 18th Indiana regiment.
Coy. Morton at this time suggested to
the young lawyer who was not yet 80
and whose family needed his constant
care, that it was hardly fair to ask
him to give up the civil Office to
which he had been elected, and offer
ed to send someone else in his place
to the field Harrison's reply was
characteristic: Il have recruited
this regiment and would ask no man

1t was in this soldierly spirit that he
began his military service, and it was
followed by very brilliant career to
the end of the war. His civil record

Death Among the Vice Presidents

New York Evening Post.
1t is a remarkable fact that every
vice president who had passed the age
of sixty when elected died while in
Office. The list runs: George Gin
ton, So when first chosen in 1904 and
50 in 1914; William r. King, &C in
1852, died in 1858; Henry Wilson,
60 in 1872, died in 1875; Thomas A.
Henricks 65 in 1884 died in 1885;
Nine of our presidents entered upon a
term after they were past 60, and but
two of the number died in Office
Taylor who was sixty-eight before he
entered the white house. Surely
there is abundant warning against the
folly of electing men of advanced age

ce whose incumbent may any day be-
come president,

Solid Petroleum,

Experiments are being carried on
in Russia with the view of finding
a process, at once practicable as well
as desirable, on the score Of economy as
we'll as cleanliness, of solidifying the
petroleum used for fuel. According
to the report made to the Russian
government by DR.. Kaufman, who
has the principal charge of these ex-
periments, successful method of OBJ
tanning the desired results lies in sim
ply heating the oil and afterwards adj
ding from l to 3 per cent of soap.
The latter dissolves in the OIL, and the
liquid on cooling forms a mass having
the appearance of cement and the
hardness of compact tallow, The
product is hard to light, burns slowly
and without smoke, but develops
much heat, and leaves about 2 per
cent Of hard. black resedium.

The Absolutely Protected Industries,

The industry and adroitness of
those who have undertaken to force
upon the United States the British
foreign free trade are worthy of bet
ter cause. a fayorite practice with
these men is pointing to certain trades
not exposed to foreign competition,
aid citing the comparatively high
wages paid in them as an argument
for withdrawing protection from all
industries.
While it is true that wages paid to
carpenters, masons, house painters,
blacksmith etc, are high as, and in
instances higher than the wages paid
III the majority of the manufacturing
industries; the deception practiced by
free traders lies in the claim that the
class or mechanics named are not pro-
tected because their trades are not en-
umerated in tariff laws. The fact is
they are protected by natural condi-
lions stronger than any law of Con-
gress, and it is in consequence of this
absolute protection that they are en-
abled to demand and secure better
pay. Brick-laying, house painting,
carpentry and Timing cannot be done
in foreign countries and house brought
here ready for occupancy. Nobody
knows this better than the free trade
attorneys, else they would be found as
strenuous in their efforts for free
houses, as they now are for free ships,
Sree wool and free lumber. The vii
lage blacksmith is absolutely protect
ed by the conditions which renders it
impossible for the farmer to send his
horse abroad to be shod, or his wag-
ON or pillow TO be repaired, otherwise
the vigilent free trade advocate would
not long permit his protection to
stand long unassailed.
However adequately defended ag-
ainst competition in these particular
lines of work they may be, the class
of mechanics referred to cannot af-
ford to overlook the Importance to
themselves of securing adequate pro-
lection to all other industries. Every
man in the country kept steadily and
contentedly at work in some other in
dustry lessons the danger from over
crowding in the naturally protected
trades. Every dollar kept in the
country, which under free trade would
go abroad, enables somebody to spend
that much more money, which may
go into bilding houses, shoing horses,
or some other work necessarily done
by mechanics at or near home. These
in turn will have the additional dol
lar TO pay the farmer for bread, and
the gardner for vegetables or fruit, or
to otherwise spend for family comfort
or convenience. Thus it is that the
maintenance of our protective policy
appeals directly to those voters whom
the promoters of free trade are seek
ing to enlist in their work of repeal
ing existing tariff laws with a view to
replacing them in the interest of a
nation at once envious of our growing
wealth and jealous of our greatness
among the nations of the earth. Our
wo-kingmen, of all others should av-
old becoming supporters of free trade,
through either the fattery or decep-
ton of its ADVOCATES.
