the above definition is too broad,
and that 1t must be modified to
suit the emergency of the present
case, hence they define free
trader to be one who Is in favor OF
limiting the receipts of the govern
mcnt to nm amount sufficient to- de.
fray all reasonable and legitimate
expenditures, without any special
reference to the idea of protection.
Admitting this definition to be
true, which it is not, they fail in
convicting the Democratic party
Of being in favor of free trade, for
the very apparent reason, that the
vast amount of money required to
support the government cannot be
raised, by import duties without
laying a heavy embargo on Com.
merce, and seriously interfering
with the freedom Of trade, and af-
fording necessarily protection to
American industries, which amount
is certainly ample for all reason
able purposes.
If American manufacturers can
not produce goods for the Ameri-
can Consumer without greater
amount, then they become more OF
burden than a blessing.
Democrats have no reason to
waste time in defending their posi-
tion Oh this subject, and should at
once call on Republicans to show
cause for higher taxation and free
whiskey as advocated by the
Chicago platform.
BY the time they get through de-
Tending the idea that high taxes
on clothing and food articles and
free whisky are necessary to make
q people great, rich, happy and
prosperous, the election will be
over and Harrison and Morton
triumphantly defeated.

IMPURE FOOD.

Exceeding caution should be ex,
ercised in the purchase of q new
article Of food. Many recent cases
of serious Illness have been reported
from the use Of the new patent foods
for infants from nntested baking
powders, and cheap flayoring ex7
tracts. The desire for rapid
wealth induces unscrupulous manu-.
facturers : to place anything before
the public that win sell at large
profit, without regard to its useful-
ness or healthtulness. AT present
there is q great raid upon The, bak
ing powder market, and so many i'm ,
pure and adnlterated artielesof this
kind have been found peddled .abput
the country that the authorities in
several of the States have taken the
necessary action to, expose them.
The report of, the 0nio State Food
Commission has shownithata . large

made still greater by the unblushing

bic endorsements.

ABOUT SENSATIONAL NOVELS
And the People Who Do, or Do Not
Write and Read Them.

Life is neither tragedy nor a
farce. Men are not all either knaves
or heroes. Women are neither an
gels nor iuries. Judging, however,
from much of the literature OF this
day, we would come to the idea that
life is a fitful, fantastic and extraya-
giant thing, instead of a practical
and useful thing.-Selected.
Let them be as dust before the
wind. and the angel of the Lord scat
tering them.-Psdher, Bible.
A man, by the progress of the
times aud of his affairs enlarges the
varied circle of his activity, and his
relations. He yields more and more
to the mighty vortex of life in our
age, to its terrible mutability, which
takes possession of and destroys the
individual, reduces him to dust,
PLAYS with him, and throws him to
the winds. In this you have the in
variable error which the best house
holds present. The woman 1.-THE
best woman) is crowded into a very
small circle, and the man (the best
mani is infinitely dispersed. The

Sugar making has just commenc-
ed in this State andthroughout New
England. Fhe first thaw starts the
sap running from the roots, and en-
terprising farmers are ready with
their augers to tap the trees and
catch the sap. In the days of our
grandfatbers the plan was to cut in
the trce-a deep cash with an axe or
bore q two-ineh hole init. Wooden
spouts and tubs were used to catch
the sap, and OK teams to haul it on
sleds to rough shanty in the
woods, where it was boiled down in
large iron pots hung over fire of
blazing logs. These pots had to be
watched night and dag to prevent
boiling over. When reduced to a
syrup it was placed in casks and
taken to the farm house, where the
boiling was continued. To prevent
burning the mass was constantly
stirred until it was pronounced done.
Itwas then poured into moulds, and
when cool produced the solid cakes
that we see In the market Great
improvements have been introduced
in the last few years.
Instead Of injuring the tree by
chopping or by boring two inch
holes in it, a three e-quarter-inch hole
is bored and a tin tube inserted TO
catch the sap. This does not hurt
the tree, as the place grows over in
a couple of years. The sap is taken
to the sugar-house in neat cans, or,
in some large groves, pipe line is
laid to do this service. Evaporat-
ing pans. that produce a vacuum
and boil down twice as much sap,
and use one-quarter the amount Of
fuel, now replace the old iron kettles.
A good quality OF maple sugar may
be refined until it is nearly as white
as cut loaf sugar. Much Of the su-
gar that comes into the market as
the first arrival of the new crop, is
last years sugar remelted. The
first sugar is not equal to that made
toward the middle Of the season.
The sap is thin and contains less
saccharine matter than it does after
It has run for a couple weeks.
isOnly the rock maple is used for
sugar. The trees are in groves con
tanning from one hundred TO one
thousand trees. These groves form
what is called a sugar bush. The
trees are tapped on the south or
east side, the small trees once and
the large ones two or three times.
Land sloping TO the south is much
better for the sugar making than
land that is fiat or slopes in any
other way.
q The sugar maple is a tree pecu-
liar to this country. There are
none in Europe, and our maple su-
gar is as great a curiosity on the
other side as their beet sugar is
