WHAT OUR POLICY SHOULD BE.

A recent article in the London Times
shows that the gross receipts OF the
carrying trade of England ranges from
1925, 100000 to $250,000,000. And how
has this been built up? Let us try and
tell.
The policy of England has been to
control, to bring TO her own mills the
raw material of the world, which is all
admitted duty free. Then having made
this raw material into fabrics and ma
chimes to resell it in all markets, levy
ing upon other peoples the tribute OF
profit in exchange of commodities.
The American protective policy, So
called, leVies a tribute upon raw ma
terial to be used in manufacture, thus
destroying our chance to successfully
compete III the markets of the world
with our products.
England has had within her reach
| the raw cotton of America, the flax OF
Russia, the sugar, coffee and spices of
| the West Indies, and a grasp on the
| Australian and Canadian markets.
| England's tariff is for revenue only,
levied on a few articles, and while she
invites reciprocity in trade with other
nations and reaches out vigorously for
al bll6 DuluClD " w oAOA
sans and labOrers with no taxes that
increase the cost of living.
This policy has made England the
master of the seas, and her commercial
capital the money center OF the world,
and has sent her manufactured pro
ducts to a ready market in every recip-
rocal country.
This policy should be Il policy. We
should have reciprocity with Canada,
with old Mexico, with the Central
American confederation, with Brazil
and the South American republics.
American genius and American cap
ital can compete with England in the
markets of the world if the tariff
shackles that have ruined u COM
merce and shut out our manufactured
products are removed.
In the recent Shipping Convention
Admiral Porter, of New York, made
the statement that the enormous sum
Of $160,000,0O0 is taken out of the
UmUed States every year by foreigners,
mostly by England, in the carrying
trade of the oceans and seas. Our flag
has well nigh disappeared from even
u own commerce. This great flow of
wealth goes into other countries, in
creases their cities, employs their arti-
sans, and builds up great marine work
shops.
To stop this enormous exhaustion of
our wealth and resources, stop the
policy that has robbed us of u right
to rule the seas. Remove the duty on
raw material, SO that American genius,
American invention and American
capital can have full SWAY. This is the
way to Empire.

Southern C~ultivator gives the following
advice on the management of this crop:
A sandy, loamy soil suits melons best
1t should be well supplied with humus
If the land is level and fat, liable to be
water sogged, it should be thrown into
beds twelve feet deep, with deep water
burrows, having previously been well
broken. rolled and narrowed.
If good stable or yard manure is avail
able, make a compost of twenty-five
pounds of manure, one pound of cotton
seed meal, one pound of acid phosphate
and half a pound of kainit, and work il
well into the soil of each hill. Great care
should be taken at this point lest the cot
ton seed meal destroy the termination of
the seed.
The hills should be ten feet apart in the
drill After preparation and bedding
keep the land perfectly clean by running
a harrow over it as often as may be neces
sary. Continue the narrowing until the
seed is ready to come up. AS soon as the
plants appear begin working with wide
scrapes, going over at short intervals so
as to keep the soil clean and mellow. I'm
til the vines are one or two feet long,
they may be moved to one side to allow
the pillow to run near the hill; but after
that the vines should not be disturbed,
the plows running only In the middles be-
yond the ends Of the vines.-Southern
Cultivator.

BLAINE's LAST LETTER

1t is quite remarkable that Blaine
should write two letters, declining the
Presidential nomination, and still the
exact state of his Presidential ambition
should remain in doubt. His letter
from Florence and his late epistle from
Paris, when closely analysed, are not
materially different. A Washington
special of yesterday reports Congress
man Dingley, of Maine, as saying the
two letters mean substantially the same
thing. Steve Elkins doubtless knows
Blaine's innermost thoughts, and as
Steve is going right ahead in Blaine's
interest. and expects to see him nOmi-
mated, the public have the rightto infer
that Blaine is still in the field.
The only effect of Blaine's last effort
in declining, is to stimplate the friends
of the rival candidates. The Ohio
State Journal of yesterday contains a
special from its Washington young
man, that Blaine's last proclamation
has greatly increased Senator Sher-
mans chances, and that the son of Ohio
is now on a vigorous gain. The Chi,
cago Tribune sees in the last foreign
blast of the man from Maine, a big
boom for Gresham, while the Detroit
Tribune thinks the Michigan man
(Alger), with the barrel, has received a
substantial impetus by the last Blaine
epistle.
The New York Star, of yesterday,
prints a Washington special, in which
the following occurs:
Strange a it may seem, there are
Republicans of prominence here who
AN hnl;nrvn fhof Nv D1Otnn will hD
nominated for President at Chicago
next month. Their argument is that it
is not in his power now to take himself
out of the way, and that there is an
ovt rwelming national demand for him
within the ranks of the party. This
demand they expect to see expressed
when the Convention meets, in a way
that will require of Mr.. Blaine tC
abandon his own personal opinions and
wishes in the premises and obey the
party CALL"
If Blaine had intended his declina
| ton as a finality he would have said so
He could have said so thoroughly anC
| completely in eight words: "Under NJ
| circumstances will l accept the nomi
nation"
Blaine did not say this and will no
say it. He is as full of the Whit
House mania as ever, and he expects t,
get there. He wants no conflict witt
the rival Presidential candidates. H
wants them all to have their little bout
and then for the convention to arts
and nominate Blaine by exclamation
and then Mr.. Blaine will write anothe
letter, that will not be a Florentin
mosaic OF a French frivolity iron
Paris.
Mr.. Blaine will accept-provided h
has the opportunity-and do not forge
that there are Ohio men on the delega
ton to Chicago, who will fail to vot
for John Sherman early in the engage
ment, and one we know does not liv

Felician Park, at the junCture of the
ConOuuessing and Beaver rivers,
whose charms have been a source OF
endowment to thousands since It's pur-
chase by the Pennsylvania Company
in 1884, has been made more attractive
than ever for the season of 1888. Ad-
ditional tracts of land have been pur-
chased and the fences between h dill
ferent enclosures removed, leaving an
unbroken park of over one hundred
and fifty acres. A new bridge has been
built over the COnOquessing; there are
two dancing platforms, Il of an area
of $500 and the other of 5000 square
feet. A permanent photograph gallery
is O n the ground. There is a good no
tol managed by an experienced caterer,
and stoves, covered dining pavilion and
abundant water supply for those deslr-
ing to provide their own refreshments.
A fine stretch along the Beaver river
affords opportunity for boating and
skiffs may be obtained at its bank.
The ramble along the Co%noquesslng,
rustic summer houses, seats and bridges
command of enchanting beauty, and
here, even in warmest weather, the sun
is never oppressive. There is hardly a
day during the summer that the rocks
at Felician Park do not resound with
the merry voices of those in attendance
at Sunday-schoOl, Lodge or Association
picnics; but the largest gathering the
park has ever known will probably,be
on Saturday, June 9Th, the day selected
by the Amalgamated Association OF
Iron and Steel Workers for their re-
union of 1888. VIM. Weihe, President,
and VIM. Martin, Secretary of the AS
sOciation. have made elaborate and
complete preparations for this occasion.
The Railway Company will u special
trains and sell excursion tickets at low
round trip rates. All the friends of
the A~malgamated Association are in
vited. Special announcement OF rates
and trains will be made by handbills.

WILL NOT BE SOLD.
So Decided the Directors OF the
Agricultural Society
On the Fair Ground Matter at Thelr
Meeting Today---TrOtting Associa-
tion Wants a Grand Stand and
It Will Be Considered.

The Agricultural directors held an
~imnOrtant meeting in their room in the
cointy court house this morning.
There was a full attendance of members
present and the subject to excite atten-
lion interest and also excitement was
the motionmade by Mr.. EsSig, OF Perry
township, to sellthe county far ground.
The motion was not entirely unexpect-
ed but the mere fact of It's being, pre-
scented reused the body anu a
free discussion followed. speeches
were made on the subject pro
and con and after q full discussion a
vote was called. 1t resulted In ave OF
those opposing the sale by a vote OF IA
to 4.
Thus has come to an end, for a time
at least, all thoughts of disposing OF the
county fair ground. The matter has
been agitated for a year and at ulIer-
emit times it was thought the matter
would come before the board for setVle-
ment but it did not. IL was
under consideration by some OF the
members at one time TO Dflng
up the matter of purchasing Lakeylew,
Movers Lake. a proposition having
hpan made by Ed. j. Meyer to dispose
of the property for $1,000 an acre, with
the understanding that ffty-seVen acres
would be purchased. Owing to the
none that could be made by the
society in case they purchasedthe place,
fitted it out as a first-class. summer
resort and held the county fairs there,
the proposition was favorably received
No action was taken on the matter,
however, and it dragged along until
the society was cut off from this pr0po-
sition by the purchase of Anton Rey-
mann. 1t is thought that the vote
today will settle the matter for several
years.
Another interesting matter was n
PRODUCED before the board by Mr..
Thomas Keefer. 1t was in regard to
the society having built at the fair
grounds a grand stand, it being propos-
ed to open up races by the Canton
Trotting Association. The matter was
discussed and finally disposed OF by the
appointment of a committee to confer
with a committee from the Trottlng
Association and discuss more fully the
building of the stand.

James Wick says; We must aim for
fruit storage houses above ground. You
will never get what you want in building
under ground. where there is always damp
ness think you can erect a wooden
building with walls thick enough to keep
out frost. Fruit kept in the cellar with
other fruit and vegetables is not what it
ought to be- there is a faint to the favor,
and a great deal of fruit is injured by
,oing kept in this way. A person living
IN the city ought to have a house to pre-
serve the fruit he wants for the table. If
we do not see fine fruit on the table every
day through the winter, it is a sure mark
of great negligence on the part of some
body. | do really believe that it is not
an impossible thing to build a fruit
house above ground simply by having
walls lined with hay, straw or sawdust,
and provided with dead air spaces.

the plaintiff sues for $S ,000damages for

they were accordingly arrested and
brought before Justice Folger, in Mas

Pomeroy claims that he was innocent
in the matter and that the arrest was
malicious. He says that by reason OF

to the tariff, which may be found in the
report of his speech published in the

He was interrupted by Mr.. Herbert,
who asked: "Are you in favor of cutting
down anything embraced in the pres
ent tariff? Mr.. Jackson replied: 81
do not know of anything under our pres
ent tariff that l would reduce" Where
upon Mr.. Herbert said: 81 do not be
lieve your party intend to relieve the
country of tariff taxation in any respect,
Notwithstanding they stand pledged to
it in their platform" To this Mr.,
Jackson responded: "The Republican
party never pledged itself to a reduc-
ton of the tariff. 1t promises when it
gets again full CONTROL of the govern
ment to revise the tariff so as to lessen
the income from tariff. But with very
few exceptions it will do this by making
the tariff higher and by protecting
some industries that are now neglect
ed" After this Mr.. Jackson proceeded
with his speech in behalf of certain

advance prices, cut down wages, leng-
then the hours of labor, import labor
