FREE TRADE DEFINED.
Why the Terms Democrat and Free
Trader Are Synonymous.

Why the Terms Democrat and Free
Trader Are Synonymous.
BY general consent the Republican
party applies the term free trade to
the Democratic party, and, when
spoken Of in connection with the tariff,
it is called the ''free trade party. -
The Democrats object to this name,
and the greater portion of the Demo-
cratic press protest against the appli-
cation of the term. Let us see how
this is. In the first place no small fac
ton OF the Democratic party are free
traders, according 20 their own state
ments, and, when speaking for the
! party, claim that the platform is much
more of free trade platform than "A
protection one. An analysis of the
tariff plank of 1884, which was re-
affirmed at ST. Louis, must be accepted
as the sentiment of the party regarding
the subject. There is but one material
point in that platform, for, regardless
of all that is said concerning labor and
wages, the essence of the whole resolu-
tion is found in the words: I'VE de
clusively for public purposes" This
is simply another way of saying: "a
tariff for revenue only" which was the
language of the platform of 1880, or,
1--WE demand that all custom-hOuse tax
alton shall be only for revenue" which
was the language of 1876. "A tariff
for revenue only" or Exclusively for
public purposes" can not mean a
tariff for any thing else. 1t means a
tariff for revenue only regardless of
every other consideration, for were
other objects considered it could not be
a tariff for revenue only or for public
purposes exclusively. "Only" or ex-
clusively can not mean more, and
revenue simply is all that is embraced
in the term. A tariff that does not
protect the interests for which it was
designed from foreign influences, is in
every material sense free trade. A
tariff for revenue only can not mean a
protective tariff. Protection does not
enter into the idea of revenue tariff
at all. 1t is no part of it, and if such a

be only accidental. Incidental pro-
lection" is no protection. Any thing
that may or may not be, is not, and
the only protection that can be is di-
rect. The difference between the two
parties is, the Republicans demand pro-
lection as the prime factor of tariff,
while the Democrats demand revenue
as the only purpose of duties ON i'm
ports. A revenue tariff can not be
protective tariff, for the stimulus which
a reduction of duties will give impor-
tation will make necessary so great "a
reduction that the protective element
will entirely disappear, and its effect
be lost When this is gone what have
we better than free trade? According
to the declarations of the party we do
not see why objections should be urged
to the term of free traders. - Chicago

HOME AND FARM.


Cast iron stoves and iron ware
should be heated gradually the first
time they are used.
Early rising, with the work done
in part before the heat of the day, will
save the horses during the warm days.
A Virginia farmer finds that cattle
eat sorghum as fodder with a relish,
especially when the stalks are not
larger than a mans finger.
Feeding in sheep husbandry is like
any other problem in live stock. How
ever good the breed, without good caro-
and feeding they must necessarily de-
gen erate.
To avoid having fat left In soups,
it is safer to allow them TO get entirely
cold, when the fat can be easily skim
med off. just enough can be heated
each time the soup is served.
-Broiled fish, broiled ham, broiled
chicken, broiled steaks and chops, are
always satisfactory at a summer dim
ner. Nothing can be less healthy or
less agreeable to the taste for dinner
on hot day than fried food.
For dish cloth ''par excellence"
make cloth about twelve inches
square, of four or five thicknesses, of
common white mosquito netting; then
sew across and back and forth on the
machine, to hold it firmly together
Thus it is very soft and will hold no
grease at all.-Go0d Housekeeping.
Potato and Corn Mullins: Two
cups cold-mashed potatoes, two cups
sweet milk, two eggs well beaten. two
cups cornmeal or enough for batter.

ing out all the Jumps; then stir in
cornmeal until the batter is just thick
enough to drop easily from the spoon,
add the whipped eggs and beat hard.
Drop into hot gem-pans and bake in an
even oven from twenty to thirty min
utes.
For an ingrowing tOe-nail, dip a
rag in strong solution of fannie acid
and water, and place between the nail
and inflamed parts of the toe. j, not
pare the nails around the corners and
sides, but curve in across the center,
which has tendency to make the nails
grow forward only. This treatment,
persevered in, should bring relief.
Dried Corn Soup; Soak cup of
dried sweet corn over night. The next
forenoon add water, a small piece of
salt pork, and bit of red pepper.
Cook till the corn is tender. Half an
hour before dinner make batter of
one egg, a little milk, salt, flour and a
bit of soda. Drop from a spoon in lit
tie dumplings into the soup. Remove
the pork and serve as soon as the
dumplings are done. This soup may be
made of canned corn.
Profit in. agriculture means hard
work and plenty of it. Instead of few
old log gums and box hives and brim-
stone for the bees in the fall, with no
management, the present demands the
best movable frame hives with large
capacity for surplus, simple in con-
struction and admitting of ease and
speed in handling-One that will win
ter well on summer stands without
further packing or protection, with en-
trance easily contracted or enlarged,
and with brood chamber that can be
expanded at will.

The SECOND TERM.
What President Cleveland Would DO Were
He an Honest Man.

lie an Honest Man.
1t was a grim piece of satire which
commissioned the spoils Congressman.
Hon. Pat Collins, of Boston, to notify
Grover Cleveland of his denomination,
but he performed the task creditably,
and the President at the close of his
remarks accepted the prize and init
mated that in due time he would sig
nifty such acceptance in the usual formal
manner.
When that "due time" arrives, if
Grover Cleveland were not an arrant
hypocrite, he would recall his formal
letter accepting his first nomination
and would say to the Democracy, as he
said then, that 1.-THE full realization of
a government by the people will be at
hand when Office is "a public trust, p"
when {" the holders of the ballot will
avenge truth betrayed, " and when " the
suffrages shall be altogether free and
interrupted, and as a means to this
end he would say in the words of his
letter:
As means TO this end not one would. in my
judgment, De more eHectiNe tnan an amend
ment to the constitution disqualifying the Pres
ident from reelection. When we consider the
patronage of this great cfice, the allurement

political Sergice, We recognize in the eligibility
of the President for reelection a most serious
danger to that calm. deliberate and intelligent
action which must characterize a government
by the people.
And having made this statement he
then. would say: ''For these reasons
publicly stated and to avoid the dan
gers to the country and good govern
ment have already set forth over my
own signature, can not, with honor,
gentlemen, accept the nomination you
have rendered me. Thanking you for
that honor, and solicitous for my own
sincerity and honesty, | respectfully

repl which he would make in due
