And For The Democracy.
The Sun believes that the campaign for
the election of Democratic Congress in
1890 and Democratic President in 1892
should begin on or about the fourth OF next
March. The San will be on hand at the be-
ginning and until the end of the most inter.
csting and important political conflict since
the war, doing its honest utmost, rs ever, to
secure the triumph of the Democratic party
and the permanent supremacy of the prncl-
pies held by Jefferson, jackson, and Tilden.
The great fact of the year is the return to
absolute power of the common enemy OF all
good Dcmocrats-thc political organization
for whose overthrow the San fought tor fif-
teen years, the memorable years of Grant
and the Fraud Hayes, and Garfield and Ar
thur.
1t is the same old enemy that Democrats
now confront, and he will be intrenched in
the same strong position, 1t has been carri-
ed once by brave and hopeful fighting DO
YOU not believe with the San that the thing
can be done again? Wait and see!
The hope of the loyal efforts of united
press, chcrishing no memories Of the past
differences in essentials, forgetting cv.
crything but the lesson Of experience, and
that victory IS duty.

F0rest-Tree Planting.
Waldo F. Brown, in vick's Magazine.

Waldo F. Brown, in vick's Magazine.
In 1850, at which time the timbsr was SO
abundant that the farmers were deaden-
ing it and burning it, 2 neighbor of mine
began planting locust timber, and during
the ensuing five or seven years he planted
it on southern slope too steep and brok-
en- to cultivate, and so exposed to the sun
as to dry out easily when in grass This
entire plantation was cut and marketed in
1860, but as the former owner is dead,
I can only guess at the amount received;
but know it was some hundreds of dol
lars per acre. The second growth was
much more rapid than the first, and in
1879 the present owner began cutting out
the largest trees where they were crowded
and marketing them. In 1883 he allowed
me to examine his books, and found that
his sales from the Trimmings averaged
$24.75 per acre, or $500 from ten acres
for the four years. This land has pro-
duced more grass, although not perhaps
of as good quality, than it would have
done without the trees. I have
planted four plots of locust timber myself,
averaging over 1000 trees each, and the
growth has been satisfactory with all of
them; and I never have known grove of
seedlings planted which did not give sat-
isfaction; but where sprouts have been
dug up and set out they have almost uni
versally failed. I planted in 1868 a small
plot of soft naples, some of which are
now nearly two feet in diameter, and we
this year tapped and made syrup from
trees fourteen years old from seed.
