The Real Question at Issue.

There is a practical side to the
tariff question which has been brought
into prominence as one of the vital
issues of the time by the president
message, which can not be we'll ig-
nored. The discussion of theories
is one thing and the meeting Of act
ual, indisputable facts is quite anoth
er. The real essential question at
issue, as has been pointed out scores
of times, is that of wages, and the
Traveller well says: Sin just the
proportion that we advance toward
free-trade practice, in that proportion
British manufactures, produced by
cheap labor, would be pittied against
American manufactures now pro-
duced by better paid labor. The in
evitable result of this competition
would be the death of the American
of the scaling down
wages to the standard of England
and of continental Europe. Revenue
reformers may give banquets, and
their orators may discourse never so
concerning the burdens
of taxation and the beauties of re-
moving all restrictions from trade,
so that one may buy in the cheap
est market and sell in the dearest
the practical question of wages still
remains untouched. The question
of free trade, or of first firm steps
toward free trade involves inevitably
one of two things destruction
Of American industries through COM
petition with cheaply paid labor, or
a general reduction of wages from
one third to one half. This basal |
bedrock truth is one that must not
be lost sight Of

How to Get More Eggs.

1t is fact but little known people who keep
poultry that the first part of hen which becomes
disarranged the approach of disease, is the
les egg producing organs.
Excess of fat, exposure to wet and cold, poor
diton, shed ing feathers, improper food, want of
exercise, lack of certain elements in the food
deveope the embryo egg, will all produce the
effect and cause the hens to stop laying.
1t cannot be laid down ''ironclad'' rule, that
when hen ceases laying it is positive symptom
she will be sick; but it be stated with the
utmost assurance that something is wrong or she
would not cease laying for weeks and often months.
The annual egg product per hen, in this country,
ranges from three eight dozen each. Now This is
by far to small There is no earthly reason why
every hen that lays all, should be made TO lay
from ten to fifteen dozen eggs each per year, and
continue do for at least five years. We know
of parties who get eggs at that in mId-winter
in our cold climate.
How to get eggs in cold weather interest every
person who keeps hens. Mr.. Charles Raymond of
New Canaan, Conn, writes under date of March s.
1887, 81 had excellent results from feeding Sheri-
dams Powder my seventeen hens. In December
they laid p eggs; in january III; and in Febru-

Judge Ross on Executing Law

Judge Ross, who has been hold
ing county court in Orange county,
rather startled the bar and others
in the court by a decision in regard
to some liquor cases which were on
the calendar for trial. During the
call of the docket, according to the
Free Press account in one of these
liquor cases the respondents coun-
sci said that lie would have the
bonds called. Judge Ross inquired
If the respondent was in the state
and being told that he was, said
that the bonds might be called if
would Immediately issue to bring
respondent into court, as it was the
purpose of the law to punish the
offender, not to license the offence.
Were the bonds called and forfeited
and the respondent allowed to gu
clear, it would be impossible ever to
get conviction of a first offense in
liquor selling and thus our prohibit
DRY statute would operate merely as
license law. This holding of Judge
Ross, if adhered to, will have
salutary effect, for it has long been
custom in this and other counties
to treat a forfeiture of his bonds as
sufficient penalty for respondents
offence, so much so, indeed, that he
has scarcely ever been re-arrested
after his bonds have been paid.
1t would seem then that the one
thing necessary to make the prohib-
itOry law operative is for the officers
of the law to carry out its provisions
and penalties and the temperance
people generally will thank Judge
Ross for his sensible and just rul-

Senator Sherman's Speech.

The debate on the presidents
message has begun in the senate
with characteristic speech from the
greatest of living American fnan-
ciers. Senator Sherman is not only
one of the ablest champions of pro-
lection, but he is an expert of the
highest authority in all matters re-
lating to treasury methods and fiscal
policy. He is also one of the most
practical of American statesmen in
applying economic and financial the
cries to the pricise facts of polit-
ical situation; and perhaps the
strongest parts of his lucid and adj
mirable speech are those in which he
places the responsibility to the sur
plus where it belongs the
shoulders of the democratic house
which has neglected to take measures
TO reduce it, and of the democratic
administration which has boarded
it and vetoed necessary expenditures
for the sake of furnishing Free Trad
ers with a pretex for overturning the
tariff. The senator showed that
large SURPRISES were frequent under
republican administration and were
invariably dealt with wisely: that
the only republican house of the
present decade revised the tariff in
order to reduce unnecessary reve-
mles and that the democratic house
has uniformly resisted every scheme
of revenue reduction which did not
e1nbody free-trade ideas.
As a practical financier senator
Sherman found little difficulty in SUBJ
jecting to destructive criticism the
presidents confession OF helpless
ness in dealing with the surplus.
He proved that the power of the
secretary of the treasury to purchase
bonds was not pretence nor a de-
fa1able saPPosition, but an unques-
tionabie right With equal success,
as defender of tiRe American eco
nomlc system, the senator repealed
the alta. K made in the message upon

Reducing rents in Ireland is about
the last thing which the home rulers
would have credited the present
British government with any inten-
ton of doing and the announcement
of a revision in accordance with the
recommendations of the land COM
missioners may fairly be counted a
genuine surprise. Unfortunately, the
amount of the revision accomplished
appears to satisfy no one. The land
lords find the ground cut from under
their feet by those whom they had
deemed to be their staunch support
ers; the tenants grumble because
the reduction is not sweeping enough
TO meet their ideas. The government
measure will be worse for the for
mer class than Mr.. Gladstone's land
purchase scheme, which provided for
compensation from the national
purse.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington. Jan. I'd.

Washington. Jan. I'd.
The Capital, during the present
congressional recess. has been favored
with the presence of many of the ma
tional solons, particularly those from
distant states, who were wont to
spend their holidays around their own
iresides. This is due to variety of rea-
sons or only to one, but whether the in
terstate commere law, which interdicts
the issuance of railroad passes to
members of congress has aught to do
with this determination, your cores
pondent would feel delicacy in say
ing.
While on the subject, it may be
we'll enough to mention that the ques-
ton whether or not the interstate act
applies to express companies, having
been presented to the Commission,
that body being doubtful of its author
ity in the matter, has referred the
controversy to congress for settlement.
The probability is that express com
panies will be, by an amendment to
the interstate law, brought under the
operation of that statute. There are
many reasons for such conclusion.
Speaker Carlisle is at the Capitol
nearly every day now. engaged in the
task of completing his committee
lists, upon which he has bestowed al
most month labor. This time was
none too long. The problem involves
a great deal of careful consideration.
1t is said that Mr., Carlisle. for pOlit-
zeal reasons. affecting the policy of
his party, finds more trouble in ap-
pointing some of the minor commits
tees, like those on labor. temperance
and education. than the more import
means, finance and foreign affairs.
For obvious reasons there are very
few democratic statesmen who care
to take q positive stand on the prohi-
bitioB question and then for partisan
reasons as well, the members of the
same party wish to be extremely call
tious about their course on the labor
