CONSISTENCY THE JEWEL.

1t would make one smile, if it did
not make one mad, to see these bla
tant free-traders in Congress sh rick
and tear tn cir hair about "the robber
tariff taxing the many for the benefit
of the few" and then sneak into theil
party caucus and beg that the duty
might not be removed from some ar
ticle in the ma nufacture of which: theil
constituents are interested.
We all remember how Senator Vest,
theoretically Cobdenite without
guile, faced dead about when it was
proposed, few years ago, to largely
reduce the tariff on lead and zinc, in.
dustries that furnished employment to
thousands of men, and millions Of
wealth, in his state, and "kicked''
most vigorously against the proposed
reduction.
And only last week, Representative
Clardy, another speech-making free
trader, went into the caucus and in the
words of the Associated Press dispatch
earnestly besought the caucus to
adopt his amendment, which had been
rejected y.the committee, restoring to
the existing rates the duties on plate
glass. He said that this was a matter
of vital interest in this district, and adj
verse action by the party might result
in political disaster"
And in the democratic caucus last
Tuesday night, we find by the Press
dispatches that the following amend
mendments were adopted:
Restoring the duty on wood screws,
offered by Vance, Of Connecticut in
whose district the largest screw manu-.
factories Of the United States are To-
Gated; restoring part Of the duty on
kaOline, offered by Mr.. Tillman, of
South Carolina, and restoring the duty
on plums and prunes at the suggestion
Of the California democrats.
Now is not that spectacle of broad
gagged craftsmanship: bowling free
traders theoretically and for the coun-
try at large; bowling protectionists for
their own constituents.
How grandly in contrast to this pu.
sillanimous niggardliness stands out
the great American doctrine of protec-
ton to American industries and labor
from one end of the country to the
other-that looks to the comprehensive
and harmonious deve lopment of every
resource of the nation. And in these
significant exhibitions of free-trade in.
consistency. protection finds an in
controvertible argument In its support.
Indeed by these acts these men fatty
refute everything they claim in their
hysterical free.trade speeches in Con-
gress. If protection is good and nee
essary for the industries of their con-
stituents. why is not 80 for the rest of
the country? Will the Courant or
somebody kindly tell us?

SOME FIGURES THAT DON'T LIE.

Our esteemed cotemporary is becom.
ing recognized leader among the ad.
vocates of the pernicious theories OF
British free trade. and while we are
sorry that any American newspaper
should so far forget its duty to the
country as to lend itself to the propo-
cation of doctrines SO inimical to the
interests of America and Americans,
yet we feel a kind of local pride that an
Allen county journal has attained to
that bad eminence.
1t grleves us, therefore. to be COM
PEELED so often to knock the sand from
under the laboriouslyconstructed argu-
ments of our neighbor. But as every
argument against the policy of pro-
tecting American industries and
American labor from the ruinous COM
petition of foreigners is and must neces-
sarily be unsound and fallacious, we
feel it public duty to expose their IN.
herent fallacy and weakness.
In the last issue of the Courdnt are
two elaborate editorials, both, however,
on the same old string-the Couran,
beats Paganini as performer on q
single string-to show that the farm.
ers of this country are the most abused
and down.trodden people on the face OF
the earth. These articles are fairly
bristling with 1gures in such rows and
battalions as to make a nervous man
really believe there must be something
in them.
Let US see. 1t is said that figures will
not lie. That depends. In this case
they do lie most egregiously. We are
told, and the figures are given to prove
it, that the net annual profit on the
capital invested in manufacturing in
this country is 174 per cent, and an
attempt is made to show that the profit
on capital invested in farming is only
81 per cent. But how is this last prop
osition worked out? Here are the fig
ures Value Of farms, $40, 197, O96, 776;
value Of implements. S4O6, $50. O55; val
ne of live stock, 1850, 464, 6O9. Total
capital invested in farming, 81, lO4,-
0sl. 40; value of farm products. s.. 2l3,-
402, 464; net value of farm products af-
ter deducting cost of production, $685..
O66, 719, which is 5! per cent. of the
capital. But now we submit that live
stock is not part of the plant or per-
manent investment of farm, but on
the contrary, is a product, and one of
the most valuable products Of the farm.
In order, then, to make q fair compare
son and compel these figures to tell the
truth, we must deduct the value of live
stock from the capital invested in
farming and add it to the value of farm
products, and we have: capital invest
ed in farms. $40. sos, SIG, 1871; net value
of farm products, 81, l65, 5ll ,22S, which
is about cot per cent. of the capital.

LIVE STO, IA NOTES.-Old fashioned
people believe in medicatInG themselves
as well as their animals as spring opens.
SO do We. but we think that the "open-
ing medicine" should be applied eXter-
nally in the form OF curTy-cOmb and
brush. Sound and wholesome food, to-
gsther with proper grooming, will allow
the animals to resume the work Of the
farm without sudden shock. 1t Is all
important that the harness be over
hauled and ready for spring work.
Badly fitting harness is as uncomferta

TO the collars, that they 1t well, and all
parts that rub should not chafe the

that begin work on soft ground usually
do better without shoes. The feet
should be well cleaned when they come
in from work. Incoming cows, espec-
tally those with their aTst calf, are apt
to suffer from milk-fever and garget.
Give them less food, as their time aP-
proaches. y roomy stall should lie

trees in cultivation. II Is only

truck wagon is made by taking the
wheels and axles of worn out thresh-

in the sides and ends of the platform.
The wheels shOulI be wider apart than

their tires are four or five inches wide,

alternate stripes of PLAIN canvas about
an inch and half wide. The first strip
