House-Cleanlng.
Sing a song of cleaning house,
parE at of nails

Sing song of cleaning house,
Pocket of nails;
Four-and- twenty dust-pan
Scrubbing brooms anu pals;
When the door is opened,
Wife begins to sing:
"Just help me move this wardrobe here,
And hang this picture, won't you, dear?
And tack that carpet by the door,
And stretch this Que little more.
And drive this mai and screw this screw;
And here's a job have for YOU
The cuboard door will never catch
think you'll have to fix the latch:
And oh, while you're about if, John,
wish you'd put the cornice on.
And hang this curtain when you're done,
I'll hand you up the other one;
This box has got to have a hinge
Before l can put on the fringe;
And won't you mend that broken chair?
I'd like IL hook put right up there;
The wardrobe door must have knob;
And here's another little job
L really hate to ask you, dear,
But could you fix a bracket here:"
And on it goes, when these are through,
And this and that and those to do,
Ad intinitum, and more too,
All in a merry jingle,
And isn't that enough to make
a man wish he was single. (Almost.)
Neay Noon.

A Candid Statement.

Mr.. Seth E. Thomas, the clock max.
er, seems to be candid man. In an
interview in st. Louis paper, which
advocates high-tariff taxes, the ques.
ton was asked him: ais tine same
article dearer in a foreign market?"
And he replied: mo, sir; cheaper.
They (his clocks) sell on very close
margin. A clock that costs s. or SS
here at retail, we wholesale at about
81. You can buy our clocks cheaper
in China than in New York or Water
bury, where they are made"
So writes an astonished reader,
who buys his clocks for the latitude
and longitude of Benton Station; $50 it
appears that the Chinese and Mr.
Thomas are mutually benefited by the
tariff on clocks, hut where does my
protection come in?'
1t comes in in tile fact that Mr..
Thomas cannot sell his clocks more
than 25 cents on the dollar in Benton
above his price in China IF he were
protected to the extent of $50 per cent, =,
as some other manufacturers are, he
could give his customers in Pekin a
much heavier discount from his Benton
Station prices than he can at present.
Mr.. Thomas deserves credit for tell
ing the truth in plain and simple
way, but the truth was lust as plain
and simple before be told it. And it
is plain and simple truth that under
high tariff taxes on everything foreign
trade in American manufactures can
not be built up except at tue expense
of the buyers at home.
To begin with in Mr.. Thomas case.
He must sell in China or elsewhere
outside of the United States ia free
mark et--free as far as he is concerned.
because there is no law to prevent
Others from competing with him. / his
brings down his foreign price to its nat
ural level. Then If he has paid this
government a tax on his raw material
he must get it back or lose money.
Plainly he cannot get it back in China.
His prices there are governed Ivy the
prices of manufacturers who pay no
tax on raw material. He must come
down ard meet their cumps titioD, and
10 do it he must collect his raw mater
ial tsxts from his home customers.
Benton Station buys dozen clocks.
Pekin buys another dozen. Benton
Station must pay the raw material tax
on both dozens, for Pekin will not pay
it on either. In other words, under he
high tariff laws, the average manufact-
urer who has foreign trade must re-
coup himself in his home market for
all raw material taxes paid the home
on articles sold abroad.
This part of the arrangement Is bene-
fetal neither to Mr.. Thomas, to Benton
Station nor to Pekin. What benefits
the Chinese is free competition; what
hurts the American manufacturer is
the high tax on raw material; what
robs the American consumer is the,
high tax both on raw material and fin
ished product.-RepuJtic.

ROyalty's Foolish Boycott.

If it be true, as reports and first ap-
pearances indicate, that European
royalty has decited to boycott the
Paris Exposition on the ground that 1t
is held in commemoration of the begin.
nj ng of the end of royalty in Europe,
the world will not be greatly surprised.
Royalty is human and and no human
being is fond of celebrating his own
funeral.
But while s disposition to boycott
the Exposition on the part of the
crowned heads may be very natural,
its exercise will be very foolish. II Q
absence of the kings and the kingiets
won't hurt the Exposition. So many

Hogs and Cattle in Missouri

Returns TO the Missouri authorities in
dictate a marked decrease in the num-
Der of hogs on hand for feeding pur-
poses in that state and a low condition
as TO weight and size. Losses by chol-
era and other swine diseases have been
heavy, and this fact, in addition to
the good prices for hogs which have pre-
vailed du&ing the past year,
causing the farmers to sell
as soon as their hogs were suffi-
GENTLY mature, has reduced the number
and size of those on hand 1t is evidently
the prevailing impression among the
state correspondents that the number OF
beef cattle for feeding purposes is less
than last year, but only slight falling
off in young cattle is indicated. The
only apparent cause for the decrease in
number of beef cattle is the very low
price this class of stock has been bripgs
ing for q number of years. There sare
indications of a revival and increase of
interest in dairying, and this may exz
plain why young cattle have decreased 5n
number less than have older feeding
cattle.

AMERICAN HORSE FARMS.

Interesting Statistics Relative to the Rails
ing of Thoroughbreds in America.
1t is not generally known, says an ex-
change, that the turf in the United States
sgives employment directly to so, 600 per-
sons. one half of them with families;
that indirectly it assists so 900 more to a
livelihood; that the thoroughbred stall
lions and brood mares on the great stock
farms are valued at Sc 900 900; that the
issue of these stations and brood mares
earned more than 81 900, ZOO during the
last season; that the value Of the stock
in training for racing purposes is 81 200, =
600; that the capital invested in race
tracks and the stables thereon or adjacent
thereto is Sc 900 900; that stock
farms embrace more than one hum
dred and gorty thousand acres OF the
finest land in the country, the money
worth Of which cannot be accurately es-
timated; that on these farms are costly
dwellings, finely laid out walks, com
modious stables and barns, and in many
instances private race tracks; that the
attendance at the race course last year
numbered 3 500, 900; that the yearling
sales ran well up to 81 900, 600; that the
rich prizes offered for the development
of the horse have led to as high price
as $40 900 for yearling: that such COM
petition has sustained the value of the
stock farms; that the availa
BILE land in Kansas, Missouri,
California, Kentucky Tennessee,
West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey and other states is
constantly being purchased for the
establishment of stock farms, and that
the improvement of the horse has gone
to such an extent that agents from
European countries have been here TO
purchase horses for cavalry purposes :.
1t is only a question of time wheH
america will be able to supply the
world with horses, and this good result
will come about chiefly because of the
incentive to breeding given by the rich
and reputable jockey clubs in offering
great prizes for the development of
speed and stamina.
