FARMING IN SWITZERLAND.

Impiements-Thc Dairy.
From the extreme elevation and rigor
of the climate one-fourth of the country
is rendered useless. Good arabic land is
very limited and commands $500 per
acre. while the choice vineyard lands
range from $1,000 to $4,000 per aero,
every square foot of which is reckoned to
produce annually two bottles OF wine
From the lowlands three grass crops are
obtained yearly, in May, July and Octo-
ber. Stock is not permitted TO pasture
in open fields, the grass being mown and
fed TO the animals throughout the sum
mer. as an economy. This rapid grass
growth is. aside from the constant fertil-
ling and extraordinary care in cultiva-
ton and draining assisted by the moist
climate, the average rainfall. including
snow. being eighty inches every year
about double that of the United States.
Then the peasant must apply the high

\ man has very little more to fear in

MIR POLICY.

The policy of the Democratic party Is
the thing that Is to decide the battle Tor
which the party has 70 take position on
the 5th instant. The leaders OF the Demo
cratic party In Congress have MADE a
grave mistake In avoiding an issue In
stead of meeting it. The questions
before the convention will be how to
remedy the error of the majority in the
House of Representatives.
We want to let the people understand
that the Democratic party. has great
nurpose that has been strengthened In
the run otmany years of discussion, and
If Congress does not choose to 90 "ha'
the people expected still the party must
show that its intention holds to reduce
the war taxes and to reduce the enor-
nous surplus revenue
The majority in the House cannot al
together involve the Democrptic party IN
the responsibility OF an omnibus tarIfi
hill The caucus has tried 10 drop the
measure of reform into a qudS' protection
act. The cowardly policy of the majority
frigh,ed by Sam Randall and Handicapped
by a varegated piece of patchwork has
put the party at disadvantage but the
wav to remedy the difficulty is to make a
bold stroke for the true idea Ct reform
rs stated in the Presidents message. We
want TO show the country that the
promises Of the Democratic party will be
carried out in spite of any failure of the
majority in the House.

CLEVELAND AND THURMAN.

The Democratic Convention at n.
Louis will be only ceremony. The
people have decided that the ticket viii
be Cleveland and Thurman, and the plat
form will be merely a reteration OF the
ideas of the party and promise to carry
them out. Nothing succeeds like sue
cess.
The Democrats, after a twenty years
war, fought on sound principle, defeated
their adversary because their adversary
represented principles adverse to true
Democratic government.
The people got good strong hold on
the idea that the Republicans intended to
subvert the government from one of
free rule and popular representation to
ring government
That was what beat 'he Republican
party and what will beat it this time.
The only thing is to make the main issue
the salient point Of the fight, and supple
men, it with the revolution against pr
tective tariff in the interest Of monopoly.

A subscriber to the TINES wants to
know why people in Europe flock to this
country if they can get clothing in other
countries for one-half of what il costs
here
The answer IS simple People flocked
to the West in 1890, and to California in
lsf9, though il cost three times as much
to live there a. in the East. A rich cOun-
try draws immigration, but it is no rea-
son why it should cut itself off from the
business of the world by manipulating a
home market for the buyer and the pro
Queer, instead OF letting the buyer and
producer have fair chance.
