4 SUICIDAL POLICY.

Cleveland Leader.
One of the industries at which the
Mills bill aims a fatal blow is that of
starch making. Last year the starch
mills of the United States consumed
.l2.4SO.0O0 bushels of corn, the product
OF about 10000 acres of land The
production of this corn gave employment
to more than 1900 farmers and farm
hands. From this corn about 100000
600 pounds of starch were produced, 81
per cent. of which was consumed in this
country.
The present duty on starch is two
cents a pound The Mills bill proposes
to reduce it to one cent a pound. Starch
is sold by the manufacturers at a little
less than four cents pound. Ifthe du-
ty is reduced to one cent pound, for
eign starch can be imported for consid-
erably less than American starch can be
made at the present price of corn and
cost of labor. The passage of the Mills
bill would, therefore, paralyze the Amer
lean starch-making industry, destroy the
home market for 12,4S0000 bushels of
corn, and the employment 1900 or 49,
900 persons engaged in producing corn
and making corn into starch in this
country. When this was done, starch
would 60 up in price and all we should
have to show for the revenue reform"
policy would be abandoned corn fields
and starch mills.
Under the protective tariff, starch
making has grown to be great indus
try, profitable to farmers, profitable to
those engaged in the mills, and profita-
bic to consumers. Before we had pro-
lection it cost ten cents to import
pound of starch. To-day better starch
can be bought at wholesale for 81 cents.
American competition has forced down
the price all over the world. The de-
struction of ofAmerican competition would
put prices up again. 1t is easy to see
who would be the losers by this. The
policy of the Mills bill is the policy of
self-destruction.

WHAT COLORS COME FROM.

Mastic is from the mastic tree, indigo
nous to the Grecian archipelago.
From the madder plant, which grows
in Hindostan, is manufactured turkey
red.
In the vegetable kingdom are includ-
ed the lakes, derived from roots, barkS
and gums.
Gamboge comes from yellow sap OF
a tree, which natives of Siam catch in
cOcoa-nut shells.
Sepia is the inky fluid discharged by
the cuttlefish to render the water Opaque
for concealment during attack.
Chinese white is zinc, scarlet is iodide
of mercury, and cinnaba, or native YER
million, is from quicksilver ore.
From the cOchineal insects are obtain
ed the gorgeous carmine, as well as the
crimson, scarlet and purple lakes.
OF real ultra marine but little is found
in the market. 1t is obtained from the
precious lapis lazuli, and commands a
fabulous price.
Ivory black and bone black are made
out of ivory chips, and the exquisite
Prussian blue is got by fusing horses
hoofs and other refuse animal matter
with impure pototassium carbonate. II
was discovered by accident.
Raw sienna is the natural earth from
the neighborhOod of Sienna, Italy,
When burned it is burnt sienna. Raw
umber is an earth from Umbria, and is
also burned. To these vegetable pig
ments may probably be added India ink,
which is said to be made from burned
camphOr.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

He who would enjoy the fruit must
not gather the flower.
None but the contemplate are appre-
hensiye of contempt,
The grumbler grunables most when he
finds there is nothing to grumble about
Minds of moderate caliber ordinarily
condemn everything which is beyond
their range.
We oughtnot to Judge of mems merits
by their qualifications, but by the ust
they make of them.
Nothing is a greater sacrifice than tc
prostitute the great name of God to the
petulancy of an idle tongue.
1t is ordained in the eternal constitution
of things, that men of incorporate minds
cannot be free; their passions forge theil
fetters.
Men possessing minds which are mo,
rose, solemn and infleXible, enjoy. il
general, greater share of dignity thar
of happiness.
Wise men are instructed by reason
men of less understanding, by expert.
ence; the most ignorant, by necessity
beasts, by nature.
Paying of debts is, next the grace OF
God, the best means in the world to de.
liver you from thousand temptations
to sin and vanity.
Who cannot make one in the circle OF
harmless merriment without a secret
cause of grief or seriousness may be sus.
pected of pride, hypocrisy or formality.
He who is always in hurry to be
wealthy and immersed in the study OF
augmenting his fortune, has lost the
arms of reason and deserted the post OF
virtue.
Harmless mirth is the best cordial
against the consumption of the spirit;
wherefore jesting is not unlawful, if it
trespasseth not in quantity, quality OF
season.
Half the misery of human life might
be extinguished, would men alleviate the
general curse they lie under, by natural
offices of compassion, benevolence and
humanity.
1t is in disputes as in armies; where
the weaker side sets up false lights,
and makes great noise, to make the
enemy believe them more numerous and
strong than they really are.

HOW To HANDLE STRAW.

HOW To HANDLE STRAW.
PF ladelpia Record.
After the wheat has been thrashed
the straw is stacked in the bal lyard and
the stock turned in to eat portion while
trampling a larger portion in the mud.
the hay is carefully stored in the barn
loft, while the corn-stalks remain in the
shocks and are left in the fields to top
pie over and become wasted. Every
pound of hay saved is pound gained,
and with more care of the straw and
stalks the hay will winter a larger num-
! Der of cattle. The straw is considered
of but little value, yet the farm can be
impoverished by selling off the straw.
! OF inorganic matter 1000 pounds of
wheat contain less than a pound of lime,
but little over , pounds of potash, and
not as much as pound of phosphoric
acid, though containing largely of starch
and nitrogen. The straw contains in
its composition nearly three times as
much lime as the grain, and three times
as much phOSphoric acid These proper
tions are seemingly small, but they
amount to a large quantity where hun
dreds of tons of straw are grown. Over
| 50 pounds of ash exist in 1000 pounds
of straw, which is more than double the
amount of ash in the grain, and in feed
| ing value the wheat straw is well worth
being cared for, as four tons of straw
are equal to one ton of the best hay.
As the feeding value of hay depends
on the manner in which it is kept, so
does straw give satisfactory results only
in proportion to the care given it and
the manner in which it is fed to stock.
Hay would quickly become musty and
be refused by stock if exposed to all
kinds of weather, instead of being placed
under shelter in the barn. The proper
time to store the straw is at this season,
when it is new and bright. 1t should
be kept bright, and may be used in
connection with hay, so as to lessen the
quantity of hay required. 1t is waste
to feed straw alone, as the stock will re-
fuse it at times, but if a fodder cutter
be used for cutting it and the straw
mOiStened, with ground grain sprlnkled
over it, the cattle will thrive on it and
highly relish it, as the ground grain
balances the ratiOns and renders the
whole more valuable than when the ma
terials are fed separately.
Cornstalks, oat straw, pea and bean
straw, and even the tops of root crops,
can be made serviceable if saved at the
right time, and little preparation Civ
en- them before feeding them to the
stock. Nothing that can be turned into
valuable commodity should be sold.
Straw and other bulky material may be
changed, through the agency of stock,
into beef and mutton, when it will then
bring a higher price, and leave the ma
nure behind to enrich the farm. Mil
lions of dollars are lost by improper
storage of straw and fodder, and a great
loss occurs by not properly preparing it
for feeding stock.

a FALSE FREE TRADE AXIOM.

II L AlADL NEE 1hADE AAlOh-
The old conservative Philadelphia TEL
graph takes up Mr.. Thurman's assertion
that people cannot get rich by taxa
tion and answers it in a way that effect
ually disposes of this free trade sophism.
1t says the assertion is
Mere word-mOngering which means
practically nothing at all; which, so far
as it is used as a serious argument in
connection with the present discussion
sion of the tariff issue, is merely be-
Jogging of the issue, which cannot be
described as anything else than an eyre
gious bit of bamboozle. a nation can
get rich by taxation, in the sense that
taxes judiciously expended will promote
great public ends, by which the body
political is benefited, which cannot be
promoted by individual efforts or pri-
vate combinations. AS we have assert
ed again and again when our free trade
contemporaries have ventured on this
ground, the protective tariff has precise
ly the same justification as the police
man on the corner The argument in
behalf of the one is an argument in be-
half of the other, and proposition to do
away with the policeman without pro-
viding some adequate substitute for him,
on the plea that he is tax eater and an
impOverisheT of the public treasury, is a
plea in behalf of anarchy.
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1888-09-13

And now It has been proven beyond
all doubt, by testimony before the House
Investigating COMMITTEE, that Presi-
dent Cleveland had his marriage eertifi-
cate printed by the Government Print
ing Office as well as the series of ency-
clopedia speeches which he made during
his Western Swing around the circle"
The certificate was handsomely done" :"
it is said. Grover seems to have been
working the departments for all there
is in them in true Democratic style.
And yet we were once told that he was
immaculate, the great, pure statesman.
1t is strange how the atmosphere of
Washington and the power to use the
government for his own purposes with
out expense does not show up impOstorS
in their true light!

SACREDNESS OF TEARS.

There is a sacredness in tears. They
are not the mark of weakness, but OF
power. They speak more eloquently
than ten thousand tong des. They are
the messengers of overwhelming grief
of deep contrition, and of unspeakable
love. Oh, speak not harshly of the
stricken one, weeping in silence;break not
the deep solemnity by rude laughter OF
intrusive footsteps; scoff not if the stern
heart of manhood is sometimes melted
by sympathy; they are what help to ele-
vate him above the brute. We love to see
tears of affection. They are painfr' to-
kens, but still most holy. There is
pleasure in tears-an awful pleasure. If
there were none on earth to shed tear
for US we should be 10th to live; and if
no one might weep over our grave we
could never die in peace.

SILK DRESSES AND NEW BONNETS

clares she is bound to have new bonnet
if she has to work for it herself. This is
true grit, but many ladies who would
gladly work hard to attain a desired OBJ
ject, are unable to do so because they are
almost constantly afflicted with diseases
peculiar to their sex. Dragging-dOwn
pains, dlsplacements, leucorrhea, and
other uterine disorders, are the bane of
