RESTRAINED by PROTECTION.

The announcement, that the old
WOODEN mill property at Lancaster is
to be given rs a bonus to 4 furniture
manufacturer who desires to locate
there is going the rounds of our local
exchanges. The WOODEN mill originally
cost the people of Lancaster about
$4,000, but the attempt to operate it
successfully proved failure, and it
was consequently shut down. The
experience of the people of Lancaster
in the wooden mill business has been
the rule throughout the country for
the past twenty-five years. One Of the
great objects of high tariff taxation
was presumably the protection and en-
couragement of wool manufacturing
but Instead of being foStered and en-
couraged this important industry has
really been hurdened and oppressed by
high tariff robbery.
In one Of the greatest efforts ever
made by Horace Greedy in support of
the policy of high tariff taxation, he
referred to the successful operation of
wooden factory in Wisconsin as one
Of the great results of that policy He
said:
"A factory at Waukesha, Wis,
makes WOODEN shawlS exclusively, such
cost ut retail IS to Sl2, and are worn
a majority of our country women. \
mercantile firm takes every shawl
made and calls for more"
But the success of this mill upon
which Mr. Greeley laid SO much stress
was not long continued. The protec-
tive laws, which were passed for their
upbuilding, were really detrimental to
the wooden factories of the country;
and about 1881. after nearly a quarter
of a century of high protection, the
Waukesha mill was sold out under
mortgage at fraction of first cost,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
logic of events was in this case clearly
against the doctrine of so called pro-
lection, local republican politicians at
WaukeSha tried to use the old wooden
mill to manufacture votes for Blaine
and the maintenance of the system OF
spoliation, which while it has out.
rageously taxed the people of the
country by enhancing the price OF
wooden goods has hindered and not en-.
couraged the business of wool manu-.
featuring.

One of the best features about the
Presidential canvass which is lust
opening is the apparent assurance that
it will be prosecuted without the dis
turbance to business which has char
acterized so many previous campaigns.
The Dry Goods Chronicle, an intelli-
gent trade paper, says that "all the
conditions promise fair years trade;"
that " business in all channels seems
to be conducted on very conservative
basis" and that there seems no dis
turbing clements likely to prevent a
cheerful and prosperous business for
the remainder of the year" The
Chronicle attributes this in part to the
fact that the more intelligent the
people become the less they are infiu-
enced by politics, or the less Presiden-
tial year is felt to be an off one, and it
says that the chicanery and trickery of
politicians, their hidden ways and dark
means of exciting or disturbing the
business interests of the country, are
now pretty well understood, and are
no longer potent for i'll. This is I'M
doubleday true as for as it goes, but
there is another consideration which
enters into the case this year. For the
first time since the war there will be
campaign in which the "scare" argu-
ment plays no part-the argument,
that is, that the countrs might be
ruined if there were a change of ad-
ministration. This argument has
been very potent in the past, and has
exerted baleful influence upon bust
ness in a Presidential year, since many
presumably intelligent men feared
that the success of Democrats might
cause financial CONFUSION. But the
Democrats succeeded four years ago.
and with business more prosperous
now than it was then, it is doubtful
if anybody will have the impudence to
present the "scare" argument, and if
anybody should be foolish enough to
do so, it will produce no effect upon
business men, The New York Post
Every day it is becoming more
plainly evident that unlike former
presidential campaigns the coming
political struggle will not greatly de-
press the business of the country.
Under the present democratic admin
istration there has been a steady recu-
peration from the financial embarrass-
ments existing in 1884, when, failures
Of banks and other institutions were
alarmingly common, especially in the
north west. There exists at present
well settled conviction that President
Cleveland will succeed himself; and
this inspires business men with con-
fidence in country's prosperity. 1t
may be safely said that the "scare :"
argument has lost its potency. In fact
has sunk into innOcuous desuetude.

About Planting Fodder Corn.

The Farmer, of May II, says that the
number of Northwestern farmers who
will put in patch Of corn for the silo.
or for dry winter fodder this year will
be very large. One important matter
in this work should not be lost sight
Of, and that is to get the seed into the
ground as soon now as the earth warns
up sufficiently. Formerly the idea
prevailed that any time almost after
regular corn planting would do for this
crop. But it was then thought that
the blades and Succulent stalks were
about all there was to the fodder. But
now it is well determined that the
very best time to cut and cure the
product is when the stalks have well
maturcd ears upon them-when those
ears are glazed" little. This is so
whether the fodder is to be put in silo
or to be cured dry. To insure this
stage of maturity before frost in
autumn, the seed must be planted in
good time. The season is backward
now and just as soon as the ground
becomes dried off and warmed up will
BET the time to put in the crop.

TARIFF REDUCTION MUST COME,

The cause of tariff reform is steadily
gaining ground; and there is now good
ground for the hope that revision of
our tariff will speedily be made by
the friends of every legitimate Amer
lean enterprise, and not by the friends
of the robber trusts. The Madison
Democrat says:
1.-The impression is gaining ground
that the Mills bill will pass The repub-
llcans have had time to hear from the
country to get a general idea of the
prevailing sentiment. The result shows
itself in a lowering of the tone all
along the line. When the leaders of
the party mounted the old high war
tariff and drew their Sabres for battle,
they expected to see the entire party.
together with good sprinkle of dem
ocrats, rally with yell, for the on
Slaught But the party did not rally.
1t only looked on and said, better 90
slow, we have not made up our minds
yet that we want to fight for a high
protective tariff" There has been a
large amount of GOODNESS manifested
by the rank and file of the republican
party on the subject, and the old hot
heads begin to feel chill in the party
atmosphere. 1t is coming out as it
should after all. What the people
want is what is best, and that is
what they will have. The country
will not endure the strain that such a
tariff brings upon it much longer. 1t
has got to be reduced to reasonable
point, and the party that tries to pre-
vent a proper reduction will go to the
wall "

OFFICIALLY SQUELcHED.
The Royal Baking Powder Compan,
Charged With Making a False
Statement
From the American Analyst.

/ IEOiA A1HStiCdu
The following circular, published in
the Ohio State Journal, Columbus.
November II, 1887, fully corroborates
all that we have felt it out duty to say
about the publication of the report of
the Ohio state dairy and food CON-
mission, as misquoted by the Royal
Baking Powder company:
sTATMENT FROM COMMISSIONER HURST.
To THE EDITOR:
| About two months ago l published
my official circular No. 6. on the COM
position of baking powders, and in
Guided in it the analysis of thirty
| brands of this class of goods which
| did this for the information of the
people of the state, who were consum-
ers of these goods, but who had not the
opportunity of knowing their chemical
composition, and having laid before
| them the plain analysis to choose for
themselves. had no thought or wish
to favor any particular brand or va
riety of powders, and gave no personal
| opinion as to their respective merits
l simply stated the facts that were
generally acknowledged, and the ques-
tons that were still unsettled in regard
to this class of goods, and left the
purchaser free to buy or use whichever
brand he preferred.
One month ago there appeared in
your journal and in many of the leading
papers of the state, false and garbled
statement which does this commission
great injustice, and which l apprehend
was published as paid advertisement
TO the Royal Baking Powder company.
This false and GRABBED statement makes
quotations from my circular without
using quotations marks, and so mingles
and blends its statements, interpreta-
tons and comments with the language
of the circular as to leave the impression
that the article was semi-official. This
article pretending to quote, but dis
torting and misrepresenting my official
circular as it did-was d most fragrant
abuse of an official paper. 1t was
greatly misleading, and the publication
of such document was wholly I'M
justitiable. 1t was alike an injustice
to the trade and to this commission,
which sought to make an impartial
and unbiased statement of the facts
relating to the chemical composition
of the baking powders of commerce,
and to the chemical changes wrought
out in the processes of bread making.
Peasons wishing to look into this
matter can be supplied by this office
with copies of the original official
circular and analysis, and no weight
or consideration should be given to the
unfair and misleading statment re-
ferred to. Respectfully,
S. III. HURST,
Ohio Dairy and food Commissioner.
The cowardly and false statements
put forth by the Royal company with
the view of misrepresenting DR.. Prices
Cream Baking Powder are exactly on a
par with its efforts to mislead the
public as to the disgusting drug,
ammonia, which it conceals in it's
powder, as its supplementary rising
powder"
