What has been the effect of the re-

ize as much as you please, but what
the American people want are down
right facts. From January 1, 1879, to
June 30, 1879, taxed quinine was worth
$500 an ounce. Since July 1, 1870,
quinine has been on the free list. To-
day quinine is worth less than sixty
cents an ounce. When quinine was
protected, about one million ounces
only were produced in this country an
nually; now the production is 100000
ounces. Since putting it on the free
list the quantity produced has more
than doubled and the price has been
reduced from $500 to 60 cents an
ounce. When the tariff was on quiz
nine all the quinine produced in this
country was made by Powers & Weight
man and Rosengarten & Sons. When
Congress proposed to put quinine on
the free list these manufacturers, who

injustice was being done them which
would result in the stoppage OF their
factories. But did itp Since the tariff
on quinine has been taken off, two new
establishments for its manufacture
have sprung into existence, moro than
twice as many men are engaged in pro-
ducing it and they are paid better
wages than when quinine was taxed.
And by putting quinine on the free list
the saving to the sick of the United
States amounts to more than $780,
600 per annum. If it was possible to
lay tax on air, the prohibitory tariff
ties OF this country would favor it to

SAVING SEED CORN.
A Number oil Rules Derived from Years
of Experience.

II
of Experience.
Carelessness in the selectios and
preservation of seed corn is one great
cause of little profit from the crop.
The most profitable day farmsr can
spend in September is one devoted es-
pecially to the work of observing the
following rules or advice derived from
long experience: Gather from the
best part of the crop and always from
standing corn. Choose from stalks
that bear two or more ears and take
only the topmost ear, provided it is
well-filled to the point with regular
grains. Care must be taken to reject
any which have been soaked orsprOuted
at the lower end by late rains. Select
for the intended crop, making due
allowance for the tops and butts. In q.
room which is perfectly dry Ga plas-
tered one is best), stretch wires from
side to side near the ceiling. Take u
ball of twine and cut in pieces two feet
long, making loop at both ends of
each one. Place an ear in each loop
and throw over the wire. Ii conven-
lent, have stove in the room and
heat occasionally if the weather is
extremely damp. Moisture in the cob.
and vermin, are its chief enemies, and
this plan effectually prevents both. A
few days before planting, remove tho
twine carefully and put away for an.
other year. Then remove the top and
bottom grains, set the corn-sheller
light, as the ears are very dry, and
pass it through. Be careful to reject
ears unduly shriveled or which show
mold. A full stand of plants is insured
by this method, which takes compare
lively little time and relieves the mind
OF uncertainty.-Amertca. Agrtculsur-

The Republican doctors held con-
sultation in 1884, and their platform
declared that surplus Is a disease

the health of the patient. and II not

the part of patriotism, they said, to
cut out the dangerous growth and by
skillful medicament prevent its recur-
renee. The people accepted this
sensible and wise diagnosis and urged
an immediate application OF the knife.
The Democratic doctors also con-
vened, examined the case carefully and
reached precisely the same conclusion.
There was unanimity for once. In
their pronunciamento you will find
that they substantially agreed with
the Republican doctors both as to the
nature OF the disease and as to the i'm
perative duty to take it in hand and at
once operate.
No matter why just now, but in that
year 1884 the Democratic doctors were
appointed by popular vote to take
charge of the sufferer and restore him
to health If possible. They went to
work. Mills, OF Texas, and his COM

PowpERLY ON TRUSTS.
Views That Arc Wholly Irreconcliable I
Those of Mr.. Blaine,

Niews That Arc Wholly Irreconcllab1e to
Those OF Mr.. Blaine.
It has generally been understood
that Mr.. Powderly, General Master
Workman of the Knights OF Labor,
has cherished particular admiration
for Mr.. Blaine, and he certainly did all
he could to promote Blaine's election
in 1884. Various of his utterances
also have conveyed the impression
that Mr.. Powderly favors the pro-
tective system, he being one of tho
victims of the Republican delusion that
1t is in the interests Of labor. Upon
one vital point, however, Mr.. Pow
derly is in harmony neither with Mr..
Blaine nor with the other advocates Of
protection. He appeared as a witness
before the committee which is now
conducting in New York City an in
investigation of pauper or assisted i'm
migration. In the course Of his ex-
mination, the following highly in
teresting and significant dialogue oc-
Cured:
In reply to q question from General Spinola,
Mr.. Powdcrly said that trusts in this country
are menace to the welfare OF the public gen.
orally and are organized in the interests Of o
few to control the output, limit the production
and smother small aggregations OF capital in
the samO business or crush them out entirely
He had personal knowledge Of coal trusts and
knew that an individual concern could no more
ship coal TO this city from Pennsylvania than o
man could fly. He thought the strong arm Of
the law should be outstretched to crush out
this evil.
"Then you do not agree" said Mr.. Oates,
''that trusts are private concerns which legis-
lators have no right to control?'
Decidedly not" said Mr.. Powdcrly. 1--WE
regard them in the same way that we do high
waymen."
"You think, then, that these trusts are detri-
mental to the general interests Of the couu-
tryf' asked Mr.. Spnola.
"They are, and should be wiped out Of exist
ence as speedily as possible"
Mr. Blaine pretends that the Repub-
lican campaign for the maintenance
of protection is in the interests of
American labor. In the speech in
which he sounded the keynote of this
campaign he said: "Trusts are large
ly private affairs, with which neither
President Cleveland nor any private
citizen has any right to interfere. :"
Mr.. Powderly, who stands at the head
of the greatest labor organization the
world has known, and who may be
presumed to know what is to the ad-
vantage of labor, takes square issue
with Mr.. Blaine on this point and says:
"We regard them (trusts) in the same
way that we do highwaymen," and
adds that they are detrimental to the
general interests OF the country, and
.should be wiped out of existence as
speedily as possible by law.
These two views on trusts are wholly
irreconcilable. Let the laboring-men
of the country, who are the parties
chiefly interested, consider carefully
which, from their point OF view, is the
most worthy of credence and of being
followed Mr.. Blaine or Mr.. Powderly.

FARM AND fiREsIoE.

MANY farmers who have planted
orchards on hill-sides have spent much
time resettlng and doctoring. Able
writers say that hillside where the
water runs Off quickly is tho very
place for the worms to hatch their
young.
A garden trowel, or round stick
about one and half inches in diame-
ter, and about one foot long, and
cross-piece fastened on top and the
other end well sharpened, is very
convenient implement for making the
holes in which to set the plants.
To secure good seed corn for next
year the farmer should begin while the
corn Is growing to make observations.
He should note and mark all promi-
nent stalks, as the early maturity,
vigor and prolificacy are as important
as the termination OF the seed.
1t is Southern fashion to cook
green corn in the husk, and l have
never eaten any more delicious. Re-

leaving on the inner ones. Strip these
down so as to to remove the silk, then
tie them in place again and boil.
Serve with bowl of melted butter and
season we'll with salt and pepper.
DO not be tempted to grow two
plants on the space that should only
be occupied by one. An extra unde-
sirable plant becomes u weed, and
when the two are OF the same kind
they injure each other more than If of
different species, as they demand the
same food from the soil and must strug-
gle with each other.
--Vaseline makes very clean, odor-
less application for light harness, rid
ing brides, saddles, etc. After giving
it chance to dry in, go all over the
surface with u rag dipped in the white

coating that will last for some time and
prevents the oil from staining the
hands or clothing. Have the leather
perfectly clean before oiling.
The digestive organs soon get out
of order when grain is fed to the ex-
clusion of grass or bulky food. This is
true of all classes of stock and also of
poultry. 1t is better to feed hay alone
than allow surfeit of grain, especially
in summer. A variety of food promotes
digestion and prevents disease. 1t is
also more economical to givea variety,
as less food is then required.

Republican Decay Illustrated by the Ut
terances of Party Leaders.
The position OF the Republican party
towards the questions that are OF the
most vital Importance to the masses OF
the American people has been stated
by the two acknowledged leaders OF the
party in two pithy sentences. Whole
volumes could not have stated the case
more thoroughly or made it more clear
to the dullest comprehension.
The question is before the people
whether the masses shall be able to buy
their clothing more cheaply, or whether
they shall have the privilege of getting
more whisky for less money. Shall the
working-man be able to clothe himself
and his family warmly and decently
with his wages or shall he be able to
get gloriously drunk for what single
drink now costs himp
Mr.. Harrison, the Republican nomi-
nee for President, says: ~ have no
sympathy with this demand for q

The curse OF the present time Is the
formation OF ''trusts" to monopolize
business in different lines, to restrict
production, force up prices and give
the monOpolists absolute power over
the customer at one end and over the
employe at the other; to make the con-
sumer pay whatever the "trust" de-
mands for the article and to mako the
worker who produces 1t take whatever
wages the ''trust" offers. There Is
scarcely an article in daily use by the

the working-men in that industry.
The opinion of one OF the largest OPP

not reduce wages, and he gives his rea-

is," he says, "that IL would make their
wages better. And will tell you why
