HOW TO MAKE A LAWN IN
FLORIDA.

| am requested to tell how to have
nice grassy lawn in Florida. l know of
no place where it is less trouble to have
nice green lawn than On the sand hills OF
Florida. know, for have tested it for
years. The Bermuda is the grass to use.
The yard should be worked into real
clean and perfectly smooth condition; all
the weeds and grass should be removed.
AS soon as the rainy season sets in in
June, get a few bushels of the grass that
has been dug up by the roots, place little
lunches of this grass about two feet
apart all over the yard; some dig a little
hole with the hoe, place the grass in, and
cover just enough to leave halt of the
tops out; others set with a trowel or
spade, like strawberry plants; some take
the grass on block and chop it up fine
with hatchet, SOW and rake in just be-
fore rain. Either way will answer, for
the grass will grow and soon cover the
ground so as to render it as solid as a
blue grass lawn. There is no sense Of
any one enduring all the discomforts in
life, dry, barren, hot yard, when they
can have a nice lawn with no outlay, and
but little effort.-Farmser John IN Dis

The Mills hill comes to the relief Of the
tollers, to "those who earn their bread

Well, who lies
Mr Robert Bleakie has large woollen
mllls In Hyde Parke, within fifteen min.
utes OF the city of Boston, by rail; he also
has large mills down in Maine, near Lew
lston, within the sound of the voices of
those remarkable statesmen, Senator Frye
and Representative Dingley. Well, Mr.
Bleakle says of the Mills bill:
"Speaking, as a woollen manufacturer

nothing, under this bill we would still
have the advantage of them"

HERE'S THE RUB.

W nose opinion Is worth the more, Mr..
Bleakies or Mr.. Blaine's? Mr.. Blaine
never did an honest dav's work in his life.
Mr.. Bleakie has risen step by step by
hard work from poor weaver boy to his
present position Of large manufacturer
and large employer of labor. Mr.
Bleakie has earned his money by the
"sweat OF his brow" Mr. Blaine has be-
come rich without labor of any sort, by
that peculiar protective policy" of Re
publican politicians which Mr.. Blaine is
naturally anxious to have maintained.
Mr.. Bleake says the Mills bill is a greater
protection to labor than the laborer now
enjoys. Mr.. Blaine says: Gentlemen,
if we have free trade the factories will not
be closed, but if they are kept open they
will be run at half the wages that are now
paid for laborers within their walls
A specious statement by a tricky poll
tician. There is no free trade in the con-
test. Why, Mr. Bleakie discovered long
ago that his best operatives, his most
skilled and protected" laborers, were
down so near to the starvation point,
thanks to the high protection of raw ma
terials and the free trade in labor which
the big Republican manufacturers brought
into vogue, that they could not stand an
other five per cent. reduction. Rather
than work under g protection " only three
or four days a week for about $3.50 many
of them went to Boston as car drivers or
express drivers; they became hod car
riers, BARRIERS, butchers, anything where
there was no protection and wherein
there could be none, and yet wherein they
could earn three or four times as much as
they could at the looms in the cloth mills
WHY REPUBLICANS ARE ALARMED.
Manufacturers are human. If wages
could be cut down one-half by the pas
sage of the Mills bill, all Mr.. Blane's
piping on his slender reed, like Tityrus,
would not prevent every mothers son of
a manufacturer in New England from
voting for that measure! They know on
the contrary, that the bill will raise the
workingman's wages, and at the same
time give him a double advance by in
creasing the purchasing power Of every
dollar he earns from twenty-five to sixty
per cent This is why the big republican
bosses oppose the bill
Again, then, who lies?
The Mills bill comes to the relief of
both the laborer and the manufacturer.
Every cent Of tax unjustly levied is tax
on both capital aud labor. The working
masses, being the largest consumers, pay
the bulk of taxation; hence the removal
of any portion of this burden improves
their position. In order to show them
wherein the Mills act will benefit them,
the Herald has prepared the following
list of articles which under the moderate
democratic measure will go on the free
list. 1t shows the amount Of duty saved.
Now, who will be even temporary losers
by putting these things on the free list ?
