now Ho.cALLnD PROTECTION IN
JURnB RAnMEhb,

Frank llurd'a last article In the
Cleveland Press touches the question
OF the effect Of Protection ON the farm
era, His argument 10 clear, forclble
aud without even q taint Of dema'
gogery, II ls 30 plain that he who
runs may read and fully comprehend,
He says; "The importance of the
foreign market 10 the farmers cannot
be over estimated, II the enormous
surplus OF their products could be sold
abroad, II would remain at home 10 re-
duce the domestic price below the cost
Of production, There would then cease
10 be any profit in agriculture, and
farmers would bo able 10 do little more
than supply their own necessities
"There seems TO be no way by which
this surplus can be consumed at home,
Protection certainly Affords none, for
with oil that Legislation has glyenin the
last quarter Of century, the farmers
surplus hos stIll steadily increased
The only practical method of dlsposlng
Of It Is 10 sell II TO the foreign market,
Take Liverpool for example, The
farmers Of Russia, Australia and South
America have the same rights there ~
our own.
"There Is no protection there against
the worlds pauper laborers,
"All the grain of the earth 10 invited
there, into the fullest and freest com.
petition, and the price Is ascertOined as
q result Of IL,
"Whateyer good wishes the protective
system may have for the American
farmer when he enters into the worlds
trade II must bid him goodbye at the
waters edge, for the seas are the worlds
free highways over which the laws ofno
one country can assert jurisdiction"
The above propositions cannot be
successfully controyerted. They are
absolutely true
The farmer Is compelled 10 compete
IN the markets Of the world, with every.
thing he produces, under thelaw of free
trade, He must compete with the pau
per aborers Of Europe and of the
whole world,
~ On the other hand, everything he
buys Is enhanced 30 per cent, in value,
by tariff, which he 10 compelled to pay,
Clothing, boots and shoes, furniture,
lumber, agricultural implements, barb
cd wire for fences, sugar, salt, carpets,
kitchen utensils Of all kinds, medicines,
in fact everything he is compelled by
his necessities to buy, areIheavily taxed,
y In closing his article Mr., Hurd says
"a careful statistlcian has recently
reported that the total sum paid each
year by the farmers because OF this tax
exceeded seven hundred millions OF
dollars Truly heavy burden for that
hard.worked industry TO bear without
compensation Is 1t any wonder the
mortgages are pillng up on the western
farmer, and that farmers are complain
Ing everywhere that they can make
nothing. Strike off the tariff duties, and
let them save the seven hundred million
dollars year, and Instantly their con.
dltion will begin 81 improved There
ought not TO be much delay In this re.
lief being afforded, when the farmers
have 1t In their own power 80 easily to
bring relief to themselves"

Keep the Republican Prophecies of 1884
Before tho People.

The same cry, that the industries of
the country are threatened has already
been raised as was done in 1884, In hope
that the industrial and commercial in.
terests of the country may again be ar.
rayed against us.
This cry is as baseless rs that made
during the last presidential campaign,
1t was then prophesied that change
in administration was not possible with
out the most disastrous financial, com.
mercial and industrial results This
prophecy has been disproved by the
fact that there has been an evident and
solid revival Of commercial and inan-
cial prosperity.
Business is 30 per cant. better this
year than 1t was in 1884, Let the Re.
publican orators defend their prophe-
cies Of 1884,

Vol Au FentS,

Prepared expressly for the Courier-Jcurnal BY
Mrs. L. r. Parker
A vol gu vent is d!ff13ult to make, but
practice will soon teach any housekeeper
who will be exact In following directions,
the art.
Make puff paste and set on the Ice all
night. Next morning roll cut evenly an
inch thick, stamp the paste in the desired
shape, either round or oval, and with the
paint of knife make incisions all
around the top an inch from the
edge; brush all over with
beaten egg. Pot on 8 tin sheet and set
again on the ice until very cold, then put
In very hot oven and b Axe very quickly,
this being necessary 10 insure ligntness,
wi ut which the vol gu vent is failure
When done nice brown, carefully re-
move the piece marked with the knife and
take out all TIE soft crumbs from the
center, being careful not to break the
edges, then set back In the oven
to dry. When ready to serve fill with
fricassee of chicken, canned oysters.
canned Holsters, etc.; replsce the lid and
serve.
Sweet vol 81 vent of any kind of fresh
fruit may be MADE by preparing the cases

until very thick; fill the vol su vents with
it, piling high in the center, powder with
! little sugar, and set back in the oven.
when it is ready to serve. Any fresh fruit
may be used, such as rhubsrb, oranges,
gocseberries, currants, cherries, apples,
or peaches. Care must be taSen not to
have the syrup too thin, or it will break
through the crust. Vol su vents Of fresh
strawberries or raspoerries, with whip
ped cream, are very delicious
To make 1t, roll the paste very
thin, bake; when nearly done brush over
with the white of an egg, sprinkle with
white sugar and set back in the oven to
glaze. Remove the soft crumbs, and
when ready to serve fill with the fruit,
which mus. be s1eetened. Pile whipped
cream on top and serve immediately. For
Extra occasions small vol Au vents may
be made by cutting the paste in email
cakes. or, better still, small patty cases
may be purchased ready inside at the
confectioner's, rehested and filled In FIVE
minutes with any delicate preparation
made at home.

IL is q matter Of considerable pride TO
| the old operators of the Western Uai0n
Telegraph Company in Saa Francisco
thet the feat of transmitting clock signal
through 1900 miles CT IiRe and talking di-
rectly through inst same line has never
been eQuSled. Toe occasion Of this fest
vas the teleerep hic determination Of the
difference OF longitude in time between
the U0ited States coast survey station
In San Francisco and the observatory of
The Harvard University at Cambridge in
the year 1863. In order to determine the
Time Of transmission OF signal either
from the clock Or from the OPERATORS
kew over the given length CT the line Of
$500 miles, three different methods were
devised. 0ue Of these was original with
Professor George Davidson, who had
charge Of the observations. Through the
liberslity Of the management Of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company double
circuit Of line WAS Topped at Cambridge,
so that there extended from the San
Francisco observatory $500 miles to Cam
bridge, and the return from Cambridge
by somewhat different route Of
nearly equal length. The two
"earths" were under the San
Francisco observatory, distant from each
other not more than ten feet. The line
wss first opened by sn operator in the
observatory ard when the LAST connection
was made s. Cambridge the San Francis
CO operator was considerably surprised
to get MS Own message back within one
second of time.
Then the astronomical break circuit
clock was thrown into line and made is
first break on pen recording upon re-
volvIng cylinder Of paper in the San
Francisco observatory, aud aft this break
had treveEsed the line TO Cambridge IL re-
turned and made bre:k upon Il
second pen moving parallel with the
former IN about eight Tennis of a second
OF time. This was continued every sec
oud for several minutes, and was reps ste.i
upon several nights, and When one Of the
twelve batteries in this long circuit WAS
removed the wave length time was re-
duced 20 only sixty-dye huudredths Of a
second. Conversation Was, of course,
carried on 81 the sane rate OF speed. This

been unriyaled up to the present time,
both as q practical working exhibit and
scientific success.

Believes tina. Bustermnh Cured Her.
Kingston Freeml


A woman of this city who had been
pronounced by her physician fatally Ill
with consumption, and who was apps,
rently dying as fast as thst slow-paclng
disease could carry her of, was told by
q neighbor that she had been assisting G
lady ct churning and had much enjoyed a
drink of Duttermilk. "Buttermilk! !"
fairly screamed the invalid, "how
1 wish that I could have 6 drink!'
And from that time till her friend
could go to the house where the churning
mad taken place and bring the longed for
drsught, she rsved ana cried for it. She
drank 1t and fel! better. Then another
cunning was hurried up, and she drank
egsin. the lady made her churnings
more frequent and small to please the
dying woman.
Ina little while the news was brought
that she was improving. A few days later
she was out Of danger. a week elapsed
aud she was on her feet and about the
house. And now she is again busting,
busy woman, not strong, but IN eppsr-
emily good health, with no symptoms OF q
deadly disease lurking around. There is
no doubt, she says, the Duttermilk cured
her. As physicians say, "it went right
to the spot" It nourished her poor,
famished body, Allied up the dried out
tbs sues, and gave her strength and cour-
age. Eeighbors say that she is careful OF
her money, and that probably much OF
her illness was due to her reluctance to
p,y for pslatsbie and nourishing food
TIE huttsrmilk WAS given to her.
