carrying trade of the world was done by
sailing vessels. The great pineries of
the State of Maine and the white oak of
the swamps of Florida could not be COM
bined into a trust. American ingenuity
and enterprise were free to exert them
selves in any direction that led to
prosperity. In 1860 the sea. borne ton
mage of the world flying the American
flag was about equal that of England.
We are the second if.not the first mari
time people in the world. At that date
the relative population between England
and the United States was: England,
$3.50, 900 and the United States, 81
100000. According to the census of 1889
our population exceeded that of England
by Is, 760 900 and the relative sea-borne
tonnage of the world was England IS per
cent, and the United States 45 per cent"
The wooden sailing ship was doomed
in the year 1860, and the iron and steel
ship, propelled by steam, was destined
to supplant it upon economic grounds.
"Can it be claimed" said Mr.. Scott,
'that the people of this nation could not
and would not have adjusted themselves
to this changed condition Of affairs, had
not unwise legislation prevented them
from doing SO? What is steel or iron
ship, sir? What proportion of it's cost
consists of structural iron or steel beams ?
And how was it possible for the individ-
ual enterprise Of this country to engage
in the construction of iron ships when
steel beams could be bought in England
for $26 SS per ton, while the same beams
cost in the United States 3-3 cents per
pound, or $66 per ton? What has
brought us to this low state? The policy
of restriction.
"Under this policy, sir, cruel, barbar-
ous, Bourbon, our magnificent foreign
merchant marine has sunk into insignif-
canoe, and that seminary of dauntless
sailors, that sure reserve of national de-
tense, which once excited the admiration
OF Burke and Of Chatham, has disap-
peared under the blight of your illiberal
laws v'-[New York News.

He Answered the Advertisement

A venerable New Yorker recently
advertised asking anyone who wish
ed to go to Europe under pleasant
auspices to apply to him and giving
his address. This advertisement was
seen late one night by a young man
who had been dining freely. He cog
itated awhile and then told the club
porter to call a cab, into which porter
and cabby hoisted him. He told
the man to drive to the address given
in the advertisement. Arriving there
he was assisted to the sidewalk and
witIrmuch dignity ordered the cabby
70 practice on the knocker OF TIE old
fashioned residence. The advertiser
stuck his venerable head out Of the
window and howled "What do you
mean by waking me up at this hour"
"Come t ansher 'vertisement."
"Well, sir, what have you to say?'
"That's orri. I've come to shay

A TIRsT-CLASs PREMIUM.

Dnring the past six months we have
been looking over the entire premium
field to fiud some really excellent article
which we could offer to subscribers to the
FREE PRESS, something that must be of
real worth, and that could be offered in
such manner that all would be anxious
to possess it. After examining scores of
different articles we at last hit upon some.
thing which answers our purpose exactly.
1t does not in any way interfere with our
advertisers, as none of them sell such an
article, and we are enabled to offer it with
the FREE PRESS at such terms that any
person can see the advisability of taking
immediate advantage of our offer. Our
great bargain is "Our Family Physician"
standard practical family guide for the
sick, for many years before the public,
and now in its ninetieth thousand.

Mules on the Farm,

The mule is II despised animal only in
the eyes of those who know little about
it, If treated kindly mules are not dan
gerous animals to handle. They are sa-
gacious brutes, and if abused by their
drivers are quite likely to return the
abuse by kicks Mules need not he so
highly fed as horses; in fact, they will not
cat grain to a great extent when put be
fore them. They will leave it and not
long after will be found patiently paving
and nipping thistle. To get good sized,
active mules breed a large, well made
mare with neat limbs to a good sized
Spanish jack, If you do not wish to have
lazy mule take care that the mare be
lively and active. Mules are less subject
to disease than horses, and their term of
work averages twice as long. For cult
waiting crops mules are superior to horses
as they walk Indian fashion, one foot
directly in front of the other.

The second cut shows a cleaning table.
1t is made with slightly curved top to
prevent the carcass from rolling off. Its
construction is easily seen. The Stats on
it are 1X2 inches, set on edge and
firmly spiked down to the two curved end
pieces 1t is a very convenient table for
cleaning hogs before hanging up, and in
deed, for cleaning and washing almost
anything.
a vat for scalding can be made of two
inch planks. One described is six feet four
inches long and two feet deep. One end
is made sloping to facilitate the putting
in and drawing out of the carcass. Fill
this vat within six inches of the top with
boiling water, turn the hog in it several
times, until the hair slips off easily when
the animal may he drawn out and placed
upon the scraping table. In this last
operation the tripod shown in the first cut
may be used with advantage Place over

waite the carcass as far as needed, then re-

OLEOMARGARINE.
A Suggestion by "A Vermont Farmer-How
it Should be Colored.
To the Editor of the Free Press.

A Suggestion by Vermont Farmer-How
it Should be Colored.
To the Editor of the Free Press:
AS there appears to be desire by all
parties to reduce the receipts of the United
States treasury, | would as a move in ia
yor of our dairymen, advise repeal of the
tax on oleomargarine, and other produc-
tions of that class, and in place of the pro-
lection thus afforded, ask Congress to pass
a law, prohibiting the counterfeit of but
ter in color, by the manufacturers of such
articles of whatever kind. Let them
make their stuff, whether clean or filthy,
healthy or unhealthy, free and as palata-
BILE as they can, but not to palm it off on
the consumer as butter. Let each choose
his own trade mark, designated by the
color, but not counterfeit the produce of
the dairy. Such productions would be as
agreeable to the taste, If pink, blue, or VIC
let, or any other color as If yellow, and the
consumer could then choose which to Sc
lect, without fear of beng cheated. But
it may be asked, has Congress right to
require this | think there is not the least
doubt of this power in Congress.
By the third clause of the eighth section
of the first article of the constitution of
the United States, Congress is authorized
ito regulate commerce with foreign ma
tions, among the several States, and with
the Indian tribes" To regulate commerce
is to declare what shall be transported and
sold, and in what manner, and to see that
no one is wronged in the transaction.
Under this eighth section, our whole
tariff system is enacted. Under this same
clause all trade with all the Indians is
controlled, limiting the trade to special
agents appointed by the government and
NrNi1 ha ca1p T,f i,,tf
ing liquors to them. And under this
clause the Interstate commerce. commits
sion of last term of Congress was appoint
ed.
Under the fifth clause of the same sec
ton giving Congress right ito coin mon
ey," 1t has enacted all laws Furnishing
counterfeters. And it seems no greater
freedom OF construction to punish coun-
terfeiters of butter under the clause 'to
regulate commerce among the several
States. 1t may be claimed that this mat
ter should he left to the action of the sew
eral State Legislatures, but it appears
plainly, that the State whose business is
the most injured, has no power over the
matter Here is a production, which is
largely manufactured in one State, trans
ported to, and fraudulently sold IN anoth
| er, and thereby materially injuring the
| business of still another State Some may
say that the law as it now stands, compels
| the vendor to disclose the character OF the
the article he sells, but often both the sci
Ter and purchaser are interested in the
fraud. In large cities probably one hal
the butter used is consumed by person.
who neither buy, sell, or make It. There
fore Congress should compel the makers
under suitable penalties, to so distinguish
the article by its color, that those who con
sumo it would know what they eat. A

This season, during November and De-
cember, says Cincinnati Price Current,
the total number of hogs packed at lead
ing points, was 1855, 600, against 40,
coo during the same period in 1856 This
is n falling off of $40, 600 head. The
weights sold average less than last season.
At Kansas City this shortage has
amounted to twenty pounds per head, and
at Cincinnati twenty pounds. At Chi
cago the difference has been less, and at
Iowa and Nebraska points, the average
of weights is nearly the same 1t is also
stated that there is a reduction in the
proportion of dressed to live weight. The
above makes it appear that the pork
product of the season suffers three re-
ductions-number Of hogs, weight and
percentage of meat. There has been nc
falling off in the pounds of pork eXporte,,
as compared with last season.

well known breeder Of trotting horses
gives his system in Turf, Field and Farm
as follows:
The brood mare, after foaling, is fed
literally on grain. When the flies are
bad she is sheltered during the heat of the
day and is given the range of succulent
pastures as night. When the air is chilly
she is housed at night and is turned out
during the day. Each mare is put in a
boN at feeding time so that she may enjoy
her oats in peace.
The fool viii begin eating grain when
two weeks old. and if the mother is fed in

Then take u right hand plow and strike
out Il furroW from c TO y; turn haw and
plow out Il furrow from f. to +, and keep
blowing till there is Il wide dead lurrow''
in the center of the proposed ditch y, b.
The more you pillow the better. not merely
because the earth can be more cheaply
moved with the pillow than with the spade,
but because the blowing is necessary to
stir up and loosen the soil and thus pre-
vent freezing. \ soil repeatedly plOWed
till it is loose and mellow, Il foot deep,
will stand exposure to zero weather for
several days without freezing more than
an inch and half or two inches deep, and
this crust with loose soil beneath, can be
broken with spade.
\ But it must be understood that the
blowing should be well done and the land
left in mellow condition. The bottom of
the dead furrow should especially he well
broken up by the pillow. The deeper and
the more repeatedly it is ploWed the less
danger will there be of the work being
stopped by frost In sections where there
is much SHOW, the dead furrow, or the
space plowed out for the ditch, will be
likely to be filled up with snow, and this
will keep out the frost. All that will be
necessary in digging the ditch will be tc
shovel out the snow, and underneath the
loose mellow, plowed earth will be found
nearly or entirely free from frost.
