MR JOSEPH CULLEN will begin next Monday to canvass the town for subscrip- tions for the DEMOCRAT. We are now about to engage in the greatest political struggle the country has ever experienced. joyed such prosperity as during the present democratic administration. It remains for the democratic party to maintain this happy state of affairs, and they can do it in no better way than by supporting their party papers. We hope MT Cullen will be kindly received

ITS passing strange, James G. Blaine is said to be out of the race, and yet as soon as a presumptious would-be republican candidate takes the floor, he is promptly knocked down. The leaders can agree upon no other candidate Gresham is classed by many as mugwump Allison has democratic ideas in regard to the tariff. John Sherman is too rank, and all the others have fatal weakness. We predict that there will be a stampede for the Maine statesman in the convention. It will either be Blaine or bedlam.

Carrageen. or trlsh MOSS.

Years ar the markets Of the world
were srpplied with this fafinaceous and
gelatinous seaweed entirely from the
coast of Ireland, hence its name,n said
q New York druggist TO San reporter.
"About twenty years ago, however, the
discovery was made that as good CARA
geen grew on the rocks along the Massa-
chusetts coast as ever clung to those
washed by the Irish surf; aud now there
are colonies Of men at various points
along that coast who mako it their sole
business to collect the moss and prepare
il for market The trade In Irish moss
was formerly entirely confined to the
grocers, and how it came to be one Of
the regular articles ON sale IN drug stores
] am unable to say. II probably came
about through the discovery Of valuable
medicinal qualities in the composition of
the weed-iodine being one--and from
the fact that it was found to be an ex-
cellent substitute for arrowroot, sago,
and other farinaceous substances. ln-
valuable in the sick room. Formerly
carrageen was only utilized as gelati-
nous article OF food, and it did service
only in the popular jellies and blanc
mango Of the table. Analysis finally re-
vealed that this toothsome, sea-fav0red
weed, tossed by the waves and seasoned
by their salt, contained starch of the
most excellent quality. This farnia is
not only unexceIIed for nutritive
purposes, but starch that surpasscs all
others for fine laundrying is extracted
from the weed.
.sThe trade in Irish moss from the
Massachusetts, coast is controlled BY one
or two Boston firms. The gaiherers of
the moss are mostly Irishmen. They
start ont in dories long before daylight,
and boat will frequently travel twenty
miles in the course of day before it is
filed with the succulent weed. The moss
clings TO the rocks tenaciously, and to
detach it and drag it in the boats long
handled, dredge-shaped. sharp-toothed
gatherers retiirE with their days collec-
ton il is sorted over, for there are as many
grades Of the weed as there are Of leaf
tobacco. The whitest Of the moss is
selected for the starchmekers. When a
load is sorted, the different kinds are
spread on the beach, ont of reach Of the
tide. to dry and bleach in the sun and
wind.
This requires fIom ten days to two
weeks. The moss is then ready for the
market, and is packed in barrels. The
moss gatherers Of the South Massachn-
sets coast are probably the only persons
who live by the sea or its products who
welcome ocean storms. The reason for
that is that storm brings money to their
pockets, and saves them days Of labor.
After every storm at sea the coast will
be thickly strewn for miles with Irish
moss, which the violence OF storm.torn
waves has forced from its hold en- the
rocks. and which is swept upon the
shore by the incoming surf.

Chinese tsinners.

Consul Peters, of Ningpo, says the on
ly large cotton gins ase situated in Ming
po. The cotton is separated from the
seed BY the use Of hand d-power treadld
gins, manufactured In Japan. They are
worked eighteen hours day, and in
thai time turn out 240 pounds Of seed
cotton, or SO pounds Of lint cotton per
gin. These contrivances, although prim-
tive, are superior to the little tfcadle
gins used by the cotton growers. Steam
power is now being introduced to work
the gins with. The Chinese gins clean
the seed better than the American saw
gins. The cotton ginned retains the en-
tire strength Of the fibre; it pulls the cot
ton from the seed. Cotton Is purchased
BY buyers in the cotton growing sections
and shipped to Ningpo to bc ginned.
When ginned the cotton is packed in
sacks weighing 1850 pounds. The staple
is short, ranging from half to FIVE
eighths Of an inch. Cotton in bales is
not packed tightly, and 180-pound
bale il as bulky as bale Of American
cotton. The price paid for the cotton in
April 1888, was n centsa pound ginned.
Most of the cotton ginned in Ningpo is
manufactured into cotton goods in China.
One American 100-saw gin would do the
work Of twelve Of the hand-power gins
used in Ningpo. The chief profit in the
ginning of cotton seems to be in the
selling Of seed. The seed sell at about the
rate Of 90 cents to $i.ie per bushel.
The seed when sold is used in the manu-
facture Of oil for fertilizing and for feed
ing of stock.

IheN are two or three counties in
Western New York where beans are
grown to an enormous extent and the
iarmers have become rich by their sale.
here seems to be no special reason why
this crop should have been adopted in
this section. We have millions of acres
Of similar soil and climate where beans
are seldom grown. If leguminous crops

oaght to be very rich. We do not learn
that such Is the case. In fact. il is
claimed BY some that beans prove to be
an exhansting crop, and that the old
oean growers are not making as much
money as formerly.
Beans are at the present time brought
from Europe in bags right into the heart
81 the bean.growing section Of Western
Ncw York, where they are put in barrels
and shipped as ssNew York State beans. 2
From this 1t IS evident that our bean
growers have an established reputation
which the dealers are not slow to utilize.
IL also indicates that beans can be
gtown in other places. We have known
many farmers undertake to raise beans
for the first time who made failure OF
y. They generally plant when beans are
high, and anticipating large profits put
m twice as many acres as they are able
70 take care of. Beans must be kept
clean. But too much hoeiDg and culti-
waiting does not suit them. In other
words, We need clean land to start with,
or We must plant on sodtprned over with
q .joinie-n plow Immediately before
planting. On such land the beans ret
good growth before the weeds start. and
but little hocing and cultivating are
necessary.
The bean-planttr commonly used in
Western New York Is drawn by one
horse. Il makes two rows at time,
twenty-nine inches apart, and drops five
or six heans in the hills about fifteen or
eighteen inches apart. The machiue
covers the beans, and the whole work Is
done at one operation. Ifthere are hard
clay spots which the machine does not
cover completely, the work must be done
with hoe, putting two inches Of fire soil
on the beans. Instead Of using beam

Beans are a profitable crop, and il
seems pity iha. We should ever have to

Many of our corn cultivators are too

growth Of the beans Is checked. The
rule In regard 10 planting Is TO put in
