De eath OF a Maine Man Prominent III
Washington.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The total amount
Of bonds purchased under the circular of
April nth is Sl35, .o5o, of which $55, $685..
$50 were fours and $40, ,792, 800 were four and
half per cents. The total cost of these
bonds was $15S, 1885,, AL. The total apparent
saving to the government by the purchase of
both classes of these bonds at the present
time is S2,317,0SS. One striking feature of
these figures is that while the purchase of
a per cent. bonds was nearly double that of
4 per cents the saving on the latter In inter-
est is nearly ten times as great as the saving
on the AZ per cents In view of the early
maturity of the a per cent loan and conse-
quent natural decrease in premium on these
bonds the growing smallness of difference
causes no little surprise. One of the officials
Of the department in speaking of the subject
said it is no secret that the secretary regard
ed 103 as a high price for the Al
per cents and that he was
not disposed to continue their purchase
much longer at that price, especially in view
of the present easy state of the money
market. His action on next weeks offering
therefore will be watched with considerable
interest

IN THE FARMERS BEHALF.
The Importation of Potash salts for
FertilIzinesPurposes.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Secretary Rusk
is engaged in the investigation of the impor.
tation of potash salts for fertilizing purposes.
Potash salts constitute a very important fer
tilizing material, and under the rules of the
treasury department all substances which
are used for fertilizing purposes can be i'm
ported free of duty. The treasury officials,
however. discovered that potash salts. of a
high degree of purity, were imported by cer-
tain parties ostensibly for fertiliEing purpos-
es, but were used for the manufacture of
chemicals. Accordingly the secretary of the
treasury made decision in 1870 that any So
called manure salts or fertilizers which con-
tain over 80 per cent. of Tree potash would
be subject to duty This ruling has been
sturce of hardship to farmers in this country
on account of the consequent increase iD val
ue OF Sassfurt salts, natural source of pot
ash. Tne attention of the secretary of agri-
culture being called to this fact, he made in
quiry Of the treasury officials and found that
the decision referred TO was made entirely to
prevend fraud being prac.iced.
The Secretary of the treasury informed
Secretary Rusk tnat he would be glad to con-
slider any recommendations the latter would
make to him in behalf OF the farmers of the
country, looking to the importation of such
salts free of duty, providing the treasury
could be assured that they would be used
for fertilizing purposes. Secretary Rusk has
accordingly suggested to the treasury depart
ment that 1t would be of the greatest benefit
to the farmers of the country If the rulings
OF the treasury department could be so mod
ified that these high grade potash salts may
be admitted free to this country ami used for
the manufacture of fertilizers. the treasury
department instituting proper regulations to
secure their use for that purpose. Secretary
Rusk suggests that it would probably be nee
essary for the manufacturers of fertilizers to
give bond to the treasury that the potash
salts imported should be used exclusively
for manure purposes. 1t is believed that If
these suggestions can be adopted it will
prove of iDestimabe benefit to the farming
interests, through much cheaper fertilizers

The Pennsylvania Dutch.

The true story of the Pennsylva-
MIA Dutch can be told in u general
way, in few words. Their fathers
were just awkward enough, i'll the
early settlement of the state to To-
cate and build their homes where
the natural flow of milk and honey
is most abundant. As to good NOR
ais, sobriety, honesty, hospitality
and industry they compare favorably
with any class of people on earth.
Governors Hester, Wolf and Sny-
der, Ritner and Skunk were all Penn
sylvania Dutchmen, and their pub
lie records are as free from taint of
corruption, of fraud, as any of their
predecessors or successors. Among
the most successful and leading
merchants, manufacturer and busi-
ness men of the city of Philadelphia,
and including, lawyers, doctors,
journalists and educators the Penn
sylvania Dutch are second to no
other class, and in the fields of
science they are equally prominent
and second to none.
But i'll several respects they are
comparatively slow and none-pro-
gressive. They are also entirely
without representation among pro
fessional religionists for expediency
only. They hardly ever turn up
among the great political corruption
lists, demagogues and frauds, whilst
among the ex-bankers, and boodlers,
who during recent years migrated
to the north side of st. Lawrence
there is not a single representative
of the Pennsylvania Dutch persu-
n.-Mauch Chunk Democrat.
