Gigantic Growing Vines.

some fifty-six years ago. has main
stem twenty-five inches in circumfer-
ence. completely fills glass house

rapidly as ever. Its yield last year
was 2. 548 punches. of which only 500.

tial subsoil of leaf mold was used
when the vine was planted. but the
only material the soil now receives is
broken bones in half-inch pieces. This
Kinnel vine exceeds in size the famous

about one hundred and ten feet long.

Gifts of Poison.

It is time respectable merchants COM
bined with consumers for the suppression
of all gift, prize and lottery schemes in
connection with the sale of articles of mer-
chandise. These schemes are rot only
demoralizing to legitimate business and
to the morals of the community, but in
the extent in which they are being car
ried in the sale Of articles of food have
become source of great danger to the
public health. They are, no matter in
what form they appear, nothing more or
less than devices to swindle honest and
unsuspecting people.
It is gratifying to learn that in some
instances the officers of the law have taken
hold of the matter. In New York. and
also in Chicago, parties who in this way
offered gifts to purchasers of their pack
ages have recently been arrested upon in
dictments for lottery swindling. The lat
est candidates, both for public execration
and criminal prosecution, are the manu-
facturers of the alum baking powders, who
are both, by means of gifts and lottery
tickets, disposing of large quantities of
their corrosively poisonous compounds,
which are so well knewn to be detrimental
to health that no bousekeeper will admit
them to her kitchen knowingly. This
form of swindle is not only being peddled
from house to house, bat under the pro-
mise of large profits 10 be realized, the
manufacturers are entrenching themselves
behind the counters of many grocers by
getting them to offer the alum goods with
the gifts or lottery tickets attached, there
by shifting the liability to prosecution, in
part, upon other, and perhaps innocent
parties. Every grocer or dealer, for in
stance, who sells or offers for sale any OF
the prize or lottery baking powders is q
criminal 10 the eye of the law, and liable,
upon conviction, 10 6ne and imprisonment,
while those who sell the gift goods are.
morally. as responsible, for they are offer
ing an inducement. or prize, to house
keepers to use food that contains a cor
rosive poison. This is a predicament in
which it is not possible our grocers will
care to place themselves when they come
to think seriously of the matter.
It must be borne in mind that every
one of these gift or prize baking powders
are alum baking powders. These powders
cost less than four cents pound to pre-
duce; the gift or prize costs but few
cents more. They are sold at the price oil
irst-class baking powder, 80 that the
swindle, in a commercial sense, is enor-
nous. But the chief iniquity of the bust
ness consists in selling, as presumably
wholesome, an article OF positively In
furious character, and BY means of gifts
or brides inducing servants or unsuspect-
ing housekeepers TO purchase and use il
in our daily food.
There should bs some prompt method
of reaching these dangerous practices and
Furnishing the parties engaged In their
promotion. If the present laws are not
ample, We commend the matter to the
consideration of our state board of health
for recommendation of such additional
legislation as shall be effective for the
protection of the public.

the worst feature of free trade. 1t has
driven the agricultural laborers to the
cities. for lack of employment in the
country-and thus the wages of mechan-
les are reduced. The estimate that free
trade has entailed an annual loss on the
farm laborers of Great Britain of $14, $780,
480 ia a very moderate one.
Of course, the farmers interest is in
dlssolubly connected with other industrial
interests. The primary want is quick
and remunerative home market. To re-
peal import duties as recommended by
Grover Cleveland would destroy our agri-
cultural interest, is suicidal, because:
First-American workmen who now
make the manufactured goods in the
United States, purchase American grain
and American provisions.
Second Under a free-trade system,
German, Belgian and British workmen
would make our manufactured goods, be-
cause they work from 38 to 45 per cent.
cheaper than American mechanics. and
they would be supplied with food from
India, raised where labor is not Is per
cent. as high as it is in the United States.
Third-Free trade would thus drive
our workingmen to the land, and set them
to raising wheat; but we already raise a
superabundance of it, and, with the COM
mand of our home market, it's production
| is barely remunerative.
So far as can be seen, there is no
light in which free trade can be viewed
that will commend it to an American

THE NOMINATIONS.

Monday afternoon the Chicago conven-
ton reached a conclusion on the eighth
ballot, nominating Gen. Ben. Harrison
for president. Following is the ballot:
Alger 100, Blaine 4, Gresham SO, Harri-
son 544, Mckinley 4, Sherman 113. Wis
censin gave her entire vote of % for Har-
son on the final ballot.
BENJAMIN Harrison was born August
20, 1888, at Hamilton, o. He attended
the University at Oxford, o., and grad
uated ftom that institution. For two years
he read law in Cincinnati and in 1916
went to indianapolis, which has ever
since been his ploce of residence. He
soon acquired a sterling reputation for his
ability in law matters. In 1865 he was
elected reporter of the supreme court of
Indiana. At the outbreak of the civil
war he enlisted in the Federal service and
soon after commissioned second lieutenant
After the expiration of his enlistment he
organized company of volunteers, and
was made colonel of the 10th Indiana
Vols. He was commissioned brigadier
general and was mustered out in 1865.
In 1875 he ran for governor Of Indiana
on the Republican ticket, but was de-
feated. In 1879 he was appointed to the
Mississippi River Commission. In 1891
he was chosen to succeed J. Mcdonald in
the United States Senate.
At the evening session Levi P. Morton,
of New York, was nominated for vice
president on the first ballot. The vote
stood: Bradley, of Kentucky, 103; Nor
ton, sol; Phelps, of New jersey, 119;
Bruce, of Mississippi, II. Wisconsin
voted for Bradley, Is for Morton and
for Phelps.
Levi P. Morton was born May 5, 1924,
at Shoreham, Vt. Before he was 20 years
of sge Levi P. Morton started out to earn
his own living, and after serving as a
clerk in several establishments saved
enough to secure an interest in Boston
dry goods firm. He subsequently estab-
lished the dry goods house of Morton &
Grinnell. Mr.. Morton entered politics in
1876. In 1873 and 1880 Mr.. Morton was
elected to Congress from one of the New
vi d Oity tddl udO OC1ObC SCuS q
Democratic representative. He was APP
pointed minister to France by President
Garfield, but on the election of President
Cleveland he resigned the Office and came
home. During the presidential election
of 1884 Mr.. Morton put forth every effort
to carry New York for Blaine, and in all
the campaigns for the last ten years he
has been constant adviser of the party
and contributor to its resources. Such
a man as Mr.. Morton cannot fail to add
luster and strength to the Republican
ORE sidential ticket.

Rate Of duty.

These duties enable the farmer to re-
tain the "home market" which consumes
about 95 per cent.-or in other words, the
foreign market requires about per cent.
In the aggregate the foreign demand is
large, and the free trader emphasizes it
as being of the greatest Importance, but
if the free trade advocates succeed in their
policy the agricultural interest in this
country will soon be in the same condi-
ton as it is in England to-day.
A writer in Fair Trade lately stated
that in Wiltshire alone the annual less
to the farmers of that shire is in round
numbers 81, III 900. This is caused by
being compelled to abandon wheat grows
ing and to convert the fields into pasture
land. He estimates loss to the English
farmer of $25 per acre. But this is not

The Tariff and the Farmer.

The free traders do not tire in their eff

cultural interests of the country. Asser-

that the manufacturing interest ia the
only one protected, and that the farmer
wsuld be better off under the free trade

message and endorsed by the st. Louis
Democratic convention.

and make an investigation. But we
know of serious reports among us, and
very grave ones at times, go out con-
corning the moral status of some, and
nothing whatever is done. Conse-
ouently our ministers are brought to
omen shame very often. They are be-
ing arrested constantly and put in Jail

months ago, that there were thirty

to my people.
Now the suppositton is that the cler-
pyman who was hung lately in Ala
bama was suspected of immortality be
fore he committed the murder, and
had the trustees shut the doors of the
church against him when they had
cause to believe he was unchaste In
his life, then the disgrace which final
ly overlook them would have been
averted and their church vindicated.
In conclusion permit me to say that
I am not without hope. The univer-
stiles that are being dotted all over
this southland will tend to lift us up
in the course of time. Our men and
women who leave these schools to
teach and become teachers of the peo-
pie must prove faithful to the trust
committed to them. They must lead
lives of purity and chastity, for "like
priest like people," Temperance and
morality will elevate any race of peo-
pie.
To our pure and holy Christian min
listers 1 feel constrained to say, let us
shun all others whom we have right
to believe are not leading pure and
chaste lives. We must not ally our
selves with any minister whom we
see is conducting himself in such a
way as to bring disgrace upon the
Christian ministry.
I shall ever strive both by voice and
pen to elevate the moral standard Of
my people. I may meet with some
opposition, but am persuaded that
something must be done, and that
