In an able pamphlet on New En-
gland as a customer, Edward Stan
wood of Boston discusses the tariff
question broadly, taking the ground
that America is an industrial unit.
To illustrate, he says: "The total
carrying capacity of all the vessels
entered and cleared from American
ports during the year 1666-1001, IN
the foreign trade was less than 28,-
900, 900 tons. The amount of freight
carried by the railroads of the United
States in 1880 was 482 ,000,0 900 tons.
Unless it be true that when a west
ern farmer receives a hundred dol
lars for as many bushels of his wheat
he makes more if the wheat is to go
to Liverpool than he does if it is to
make bread for a New England COM
munity, then the real value of the
domestic trade, and its efficiency in
increasing the wealth of the country,
are fifteen to twenty times as great as
are the value and efficiency of the
foreign trade. A law to help the
domestic trade is fifteen times as
useful as a law to foster the foreign
trade; and any law that promotes
foreign trade at the expense of the
home market is the height of unwis-

Scott and German. Sewall is presi-
dent of four roads and director in
others. Brice is vice-president in
five roads and president and director
in others. All are men of great
wealth, and it is undoubtedly the in
tention of this band of millionaires to
railroad the Cleveland train right
along. The collision of the train with
the tariff through line is imminent at
any moment.
A well known democratic farmer of
this county said last week: 81 have
been a democrat because l have been
made to believe that the party is not
a free trade party, but when the
leaders put wool on the free list |
know it is free trade party. l shall
vote for Harrison and protection.
That is the way the farmers are talk

Congressman Benjamin Butter

and paid tribute to Vermont's lead

Gov Proctor then introduced Judge
J. M. Thurston of Nebraska, the tenn

West which is as certainly and sure

state of Vermont. 1t is republican
because it has been largely settled by
surviving veterans of the Union army
who fought to preserve the principles
of the republican party.

A Mixed Situation.

The Chicago Mail, we believe it
was, started some time ago a very
pretty and idyllic story to the effect
that President Cleveland, under the
influence of Mrs. Cleveland, had
abandoned the use of all intoxicants.
Such a statement, relating solely to
President Cleveland's personal hab-
it's, had no place in political cam
paign, except so far as people have
a natural interest in the personal
traits of candidates. The statement,
if true, would be to the Presidents
credit, as indicating pleasing defer
ence to Mrs. Cleveland's views; if
false, it could only be regarded as a
bit of harmless gossip. 1t seems odd,
therefore, to find this story treated
as a campaign libel and resented with
such unnecessary heat of indignation
as is expressed in the following par
agraph from the Buffalo Denaokrdt of
July -:
We know from the best sources
that President Cleveland remains true
to his habits of life, which are entire
" solid and free from any inclination
toward temperance nonsense. We
know especially that they very recent
ly in social circle with friends from
Buffalo he has taken spirituous drinks,
not privately and sneakingly, but
publicly and in the evident conscious
ness that he was doing something
lawful and harmless. In regard to
the assertion of the Chicago Mail that
through the influence of Mrs. Cleve-
land the President has sworn off, we
simply repeat our averment that this
is untrue. Thus the false
assertion of the Chicago Mail respect
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland was cal
culated to make an unfavorable i'm
preston upon voters who are prepar-
ed in the present campaign to sup
port the President.
The foregoing paragraph illustrates
in rather humorous way the exigen-
cies of the present democratic CAM
paign. On the one hand, the Admin
istration organs feel compelled to
express horror over what they are
pleased to call ssfree whisky plank
in the republican platform and on
the other, they repel with indignation
the assertion that the President has
become a total abstainer. On moral
issues the democratic party was al
wavs rather mixed.

A Republican Bill.

The report reaches US that the re-
publican members of the senate are
being advised in certain quarters not
to present their tariff bill as sub
stitute for the Mills bill, but to con-
tent themselves with defeating that.
The reason given is that it will be
better politics. In our judgment it
will be poor kind of politics and
failure, which will take from the
strength of the party before the coun-
try.
This tariff agitation will continue
until the sur 'us is disposed of. Elk
cept for the surplus the Mills bill
never would have been dreamed of.
With q surplus each congress will
see a new Mills bill, every one bring
ing us nearer free trade. To the OPP
ponents of that idea 1t must be evil
dent that an absolute cutting off of
the surplus revenue is the only way
to end the agitation. The people I'M
derstand this thoroughly, and they
demand to have this surplus removed.
1t is not enough for the republicans
to promise to solve the problem if
they win the elections. They should
indicate their policy. The democrats
have done this in their Mills bill, a
measure which even the democrats
cannot defend, except that it is some
thing. The republicans have it in
their power to offer the country tan
gible scheme, that will show how
they propose to reduce the surplus,
and between these two plans leave
the country to decide in November.
The presidential contest is to be
fought on this question, and it would
be an exhibition of political weak
ness for the republicans not to enter
that struggle opposing the definite
and far more acceptable substitute.
The next congress will certainly pass
tariff hill, and the voters intend to
know what they are voting for, II
they can. The only cry of the dem
ocrats that counts for anything is
their claim, eve offer the country
something, while the republicans have
nothing to Offer If congress ad.
journs without any republican move
it will deprive them of great ad.
vantage which they otherwise NIGH
gain. In short, we cannot state too
forbibly that the republican masses
demand of the senate the presenta
ton of bill which will unequivocal
ly reduce the revenues at least $50,
100000 without disturbing our in
dustries. The promise of passing
such a measure at the earliest mo
ment will sweep the country in NO
vember, and perhaps even lead to it
, adoption by the present congress i
December.
From New England certainly, tn
republican senators should be urge
to the necessity of not faltering G
hesitating. 1t is largely with theI
to determine which party will col
vince the people that its plan of SUI
E plus reduction, fairly stated, is tn

A Question of Health.
WHAT BAKING POWDER SHALL WE USE?

This plain question comes home to ev-
cry housekeeper. We all desire pure and
wholesome food, and this cannot be had
with the use of impure or poisonous bak-
ing powder. There can be no longer "A
question that all the cheaper, lower grades
of baking powders contain either alum,
lime or phosphate acid. As loath as we
may be to admit so much against what
may have been some of our household
gods, there can be no gainsaying the
unanimous testimony Of the official chem
lists Indeed, analysts seem To find no
baking powder entirely free from some
one of these Objectionable ingredients
except the Royal, and that they report as
chemically pure. We find some Of the
baking powders advertised as pure, TO
contain, under the tests of Professors
Chapdler, Habirshaw and others, nearly
twelve per cent. of lime, while others are
made from alum with no cream of tartar.
This, we presume, accounts for their lack
| Of levening power as sometimes complain
ed of by the cook, aud for the bitter taste
| found in the biscuits so frequently COM
planned of by ourselves.
But aside from the inferiority of the
work done by these powders, the physi-
cIans assure us that lime and alum taken
into the system i'm such quantities as this
are injurious. Their physiological effects
are Indigestion, dyspepsia, or worse evils.
The question naturally arises, why do
these cheap baking powder makers use
these things? Alum is three cents a pound,
lime still cheaper, while cream OF tartar
costs thirty-fve or forty. The reasons
for the chemical purity of the Royal Bak-
ing Powder were recently given In the
New York Times In an interesting descTip'
ton of a new method for refining argolsi
or crude cream Of tartar. It seems that
it is only under this process that cream
of tartar can be freed from the lime nat
ural to it and rendered chemically pure
that the patents and plant for this cost

million dollars, and that they maintain
exclusive control of the rights.
Professor McMurtrie, late chief chem
list of the Department OF Agriculture, al
Washington, ID. c., made an examination
of this process, and reported upon the
results attained in the refined cream o.
tartar. The following extract from his
report would seem TO answer the question
repeated at the head OF this article, anC
which is so frequently propounded by The
housekeeper:
81 have examined the cream OF tartal
used by the Royal Baking Powder Com
pany in the manufacture Of their baking
powder, and find il TO be perfectly pure
: and free from lime in any form. Th'

The Sioux Reservation Question.

The question of the Sioux Reser-
walton, embracing 22,00O,OOO acres
of land, of which it is proposed to
get one-half, or II 100000 acres,
for sale at fifty cents an acre to white
settlers, is one of the most important
Indian questions which have come up
in long time. 1t is precisely like
the Choctaw question which we re-
viewed the other day, the treatment
of which by the United States made
a record of fifty years of gross in
Justice, to be condemned at last by
our own Supreme Court.
A recent act of Congress has pro-
vided that commissioners shall deal
with Sioux for the purchase of half
the lands which were definitely
granted to them at the close of the
Sioux war. The consent of three
fourths of the Indians is to be secur-
ed, and the scheme offers them
$1,000 900 for the purchase of farm
implements and stock, and requires
that, upon the ratification of the
treaty, the Indians shall select and
settle upon their separate farms, In
lieu of living at large upon common
hunting and grazing grounds.
The lands which may be taken I'M
der the treaty are to be sold to actu-
al settlers at fifty cents an acre, and
the proceeds of the sale, expected
to be a sum of S5,000,000, are
to be placed at interest for the
benefit of the Sioux Nation; in other
words, the Sioux are to be compelled
by the United States to deposit half
their property in the savings bank,
and to live white man fashion or
grazing lands and hunting grounds
after the immemorial custom of PEG
pies of low culture throughout thu
whole of human history.
If the scheme can be carried thro
without forcing it upon the Sioux, i
will no doubt greatly promote bot
the more civilized settlement of thei
part of the Northwest and the imme
date building of the Chicago an
Northwestern railroads to the Blac
Hills. But the Sioux are PRACTICAL
unanimous in resisting the Who'll
scheme, and there seems to be yer
little prospect of dealing with ther
for making way for white settlers an
railways and putting half their prof.
erty into the savings bank, unles
upon basis of injustice and wron
which the United States cannot a
ford to use against them. as it We
used against the Chcctaws.-MaH
Express.

Mr.. Cleveland as a Reformer.

The New DIRK ITt0une printed q |
four-page article on Monday expos
ing President Cleveland's civil-ser-
vice record. The showing which it
makes of broken pledges and of GRIM
inal and disreputable characters APP
pointed to office is a startling one.
Prefacing the article with quotations
from Mr. Cleveland's frequent ut
terances on civil-service reform and
his promises made before and after
his election, the Tribune goes on to
show that more than year ago above
four-fifths of the office-holders under
the administration had been changed.
In II cases the civil-service law has
been directly violated by appoint
ments and in seven by removals; the
intent of the law has been violated
in nine other appointments specified
and in 65 removals, besides the $50
cases in which the facts without
names are given. Fifty-seven noto-
rious political hacks have been APP
pointed and IA have been rewarded
for personal OF political obligation.
In at least three states offices have
been openly and shamelessly sold for
cash, according to democratic testi-
mony. Three out of five territorial
judges appointed by the president
have been retired for misconduct.
The savory list of appointments
includes two murderers and the tools
of two others, five notorious duellists
and three rioters-one of these to be
a Judge of the very court by which he
had been imprisoned six weeks. Per-
sons were appointed pension agents
who had been indicted for violating
pension laws. Persons guilty of rob-
bling the mails were appointed post
masters or mail agents-one when
appointed was in Jail for robbing the
very office to which he was appoint
ed. Liquor sellers, their sons or
attorneys. were appointed internal
revenue officials. An impeached
state treasurer, defrauding county or
town treasurers, seven forgers and
men guilty of robbery. malfeasance,
tapping a church till, bribery, of a
printing steal, and patent fraud, of
keeping gambling houses and houses
of ill-fame are in the list. With
them are Goode of Virginia, who got
office by tissue ballot frauds, Shelley
of Alabama, who bulldozed and swim
died his way into congress Hull the
participant in Florida frauds; Holmes
who had large part in robbing the
people of Mississippi of self-govern-
ment; Groome, who publicly advised
murder for party's sake, and Meade,
who justified the assassination of
Print Matthews. All these have been
placed in office, though some are now
out because the senate refused to
: confirm them. The list of criminals
embraces 1877, not including y per-
sons directly connected with the Grim
inal classes. But besides these there
are mentioned 40 persons guilty OF
the crime of treason.
Such the Tribune declares, lin short
is the civil-service record of the
Cleveland administration on evidence
drawn mainly from Democratic sourc'

Gently made thorough inspection of
the methods adopted in New York to
prevent the introduction of epidemic
diseases through immigration. He
expresses himself as satisfied with
the existing system, but as to anoth-
er branch of the subject he has some
very positive notions. He was much
impressed with the inferior character
of the immigrants who are now COM

one of the officials of Castle Garden
that if the American people really I'M
derstood the character of the immi-

undoubtedly take some very radical
measures to prevent the introduction
of so undesirable an element into our
population. 1t is very probable that
congress will have more official in

now has.

of the immigrant system is expected
to be very thorough, and will be fol
