Do you use eggs for frosting2 Don't dc
it. Take five Tablespoonful of milk, one
cup Of granulated sugar, flavor nicely

to cut as soon as thoroughly cold. 1t Is
very nice with cocoanut or grated choco-
late stirred in it. When eggs are high il

The Mills bill fixes the duty on
steel rails at Sill per ton, which is
equal to 42a per cent. ad valorem.
The Mills bill leaves duty of Sc
per ton on pig iron, which is equal to
so per cent. ad valorem.
The Mills bill leaves a duty of 40
per cent. on wooden manufactures
and gives the manufacturer free wool.
The Mills bill leaves a duty of 40
per cent. on cotton manufactures and
continues cotton on the free list.
These four are the great protect
ed" Industries. They are the infants
that are supposed torequire the ''fos-
tering care of the government"
They are fostered in the Mills bill
to the extent of bounties that viii
pay the entire labor cost of their
several and various products almost
three times over.
But some rapacious capitalists who
have been accustomed to get their
millions out of the tariff bounties
ara not satisfied with the hundreds
of thousands they would get under
the Mills bill.
They want to keep on piling up
their millions while the mass of the
people are kept poor by their exac-
tons.
