TIE T4lN oulse OF TAHlrr REFORM.

The THIN GuIsE or TARIFF REFORM.
The result of last years election
seems to have convinced the free trade
attorneys that they could not bring the
mass of American voters to the support
of that policy 50 long as these voters
fully comprehend what they were asked
TO aid in bringing about. That much
Wanted measure, the Mills bill, which
came short of meeting the views of the
most conservative opponents OF Pro:ec-
ton, by reasons of concessions to certain
Congressman whose votes were needed
for its passage, was spurned at the
polls by unmistakable majorities. The
administration backing that measure
shared its fate, while its more obscure
supporters received lesson they seem
not to have entirely forgotten. Vita.
out relenquishing their object, thci nave
somewhat changed their tactics. For
hidden the privilege of blotting out our
tariff laws, they now come asking that
they be allowed to reform where they
may not repeal -that they be given half
the Protection loaf 50 long as they are
not to be permitted to devour the whole
of it.
There is, however, just rs little room
for misunderstanding present tactics as
,F la lltnng

ers Of the reform" crusade the men
who are reprinting and repeating the
familiar arguments of year ago to
comprehend their ultimate aim. The
same honorary members OF the Golden
Club, the same orators who have never
lost an opportunity to denounce as
robbery the policy inaugurated by the
founders of the republic and supported
by a long list Of statesman whose names
shine ont in the history Of Our nation 5
century of progress these are the men
now leading the flank movement for
overthrow of the Protective policy under
the cloak of tariff reform" Without
M exception they will be found to IN
sist that nothing is in the line of reform
except repeal or reduction. Every sug-
geston in behalf OF legislation favoring
the industry of this country rather than
those of other lands, finds in the re
form ranks ready opponent charged
with arguments borrowed from the
literature of foreign writer's, and much
of it printed abroad and sent here for
distribution.
The known sentiments Of the men now
conspicuous in bringing into camp those
lighters who were lately stampeded in
the free trade fight-the records OF
others known to be their abettors II
should be sufficient warning to all who
are not willing to aid in exposing the
business enterprises of this country to
the results of free foreign trade. That
such is the object of those leaders now
incorporating under the banner OF
'tarin reform there neod not be a

HOME AND FOREIGN CHEESE.

G. IL. Howard, Assistant State Dairy
Commissioner, says that one year ago
two-thirds of the cheese on sale in the
Twin Cities" was made out of the
state, and one-third was made in ii;
and more. Nearly all cheese now on
sale is made in the state, a condition
attributable only to state law regard
ing adulterated cheese. The state
brand is positive guarantee of quail
ity. If the cheese is branded "tull
cream" for instance, the purchaser
knows to certainty that he is getting
just what he pays for. 1t is unques-
tienably true that this assurance of
quality has largely increased the con-
sumption of cheese, and as the value of
the state brand becomes better under
stood the consumption will be still fur
Their increased MINI. Farm, Stock

The law of Wisconsin is the same as
that of Minnesota in regard to brand
ing full cream cheese. While this pre-
caution is all right so far as the sale of
a whole cheese is concerned, we be.
lieye the law should also shield the
purchaser, who is not an expert Judge
Of cheese, when he buys a part of q
cheese ut the provision store. We
would oblige the retailer to give a slip
or card to the buyer, certifying that it
was full cream cheese; and if it had
not 30 per cent. fat in it we would
have him fined for selling it rs a pure
article. People would soon "catch on"
to know what the card meant, and
would not take the cheese without the
guarantee. So also the dealer would
''catch on and would not dare sell
from cheese he knew was skim.
and still put the card on it. Result, he
would be either retailing good straight
cheese, or if he sold poor stuff would
have to tell lis customer the character

ernment or the members for whose pay
the money was intended, will have to
be responsible, as it seems to be gener-
ally conceded that owing to the peculiar
circumstances surrounding the case
nothing can be made out of the $50, 600

thing look worse for all concerned, is
that no serious effort has been made TO

The fact that Leedom and Silcott have

Speaker Reeds account to be over
drawn 1884. This created big SEN
sation when it first leaked out, but was
quickly squelched, when Mr. Reed
attention was called to it, by the follow
ing statement from that gentleman: Il

fact have never drawn cent until
it was due. After | was elected Speaker
there was due me Sl,954. | handed ia

derstand how the draft could have been
issued by the Treasury without the
deposit of my certificate in the regular
way. That's the whole transaction and
L don't see how it can be called an over
draft. 1t was certainly not due to any
act of mlne." Mr.. Reeds experience
shows the careless manner of doing bust
ness which was prevalent.
The death of Mrs. HarriSon's sister,
Mrs. Scott-Lord. has cast social gloom
over the White House that will remain
during the entire season. 1t will, of
course, not prevent the usual official
entertainments.
On motion of Representative Butter
worth, the House, without a division
passed resolution authorizing the
Speaker to appoint a committee of five
to investigate the Ohio Ballot box forg-
cry. Mr.. Butterworth made few
manly remarks in asking the House to
vote for the resolution, and every hon
orable man must wish that the Con-
gressionqi committee may succeed in
running down the rascal that commit
ted the forgeries. Trihing with the
good name of man is a very grave
crime, and punishment should follow
close upon detection.
The Pension office is just now receiv-

New Gas InyentInn.

The Pittsburgh Dispatch describes a
new invention by Mr.. William Root
which promises important results.
1t consists of the combination of ali
with the gas as it issues from the
burner. The experiment made was
with small revolving fan on the same
shaft that runs the other machinery. A
pipe from this connected from beneath
with glory hole and ran up to the
center of the burner. Heretofore 1t has
required the valve wheel on the gas
supply pipe to be turned once and a
half around to supply enough pressure
for the glory hole, but when the air
was turned on the wheel only required
to be moved one-iourth inch. The
usual pressure to a glory hole is one
ounce, while in this case the pressure
was a very small fraction of this
amount.
Mr.. Root said that by putting the air
in all the burners the pressure in the
factory could be reduced to three o. noes
where sixteen to twenty are now re-
quired.
