of this article find a republican farmer
who ever read or heard an honest reply
10 it?
When the republican party levies the
enormous tax of 30 per cent. upon the for
eign goods received by the l,S97,4S5 farm
ers in payment OF their exported surplus,
Is 1t not openly levied 10 discourage the
farmers from exporting their surplus and
from raising surplus? Is their any other
way by which their labor on the land can
be profitable to them? What republican
editor has ever offered them any work ex-
ceptin protected mills. 70 make themselves
what they now get in exchange from for
eign paupers," compelling these farmers
to enter into direct competition with for
eign paupeTs by making exactly what the
foreign pauper makes?
If to protect the farmer or to help the
farmer, why tax only foreign goods like
those made in our mills? If it is to pro-
tect the mill-Owner, from whom is he To be
protected? Can it be from any one but
the farmer? If the mill-owner is to be
protected from any one else, why does this
protection consist only of tax of 30 per
cent. upon the payment 10 the farmer for
his surplus exported? Is it not levied
solely because the farmer will sell these
foreign goods TO his countrymen in COM
petition with the mill-owner. and has pro-
lection any other object than to prevent
this competition by the farmer?
The question, which the protected mill
owners have forced upon us, concerns
every farmer in the United States. Every
one raises something for export. The
1897, 4S5 do not form a class by them
selves. No one individual belongs to it,
but every individual has a share in it.
When protection declares open war upon
the farmers raising the surplus, it de-
clares war upon every individual engaged
in agriculture.
The protected mill-owners are in earnest,
and they propose to destroy competition
BY the farmers even If they absolutely
ruin the farming industry. They are in
the field. They own congress. They
own the president. Their campaign begins

A PROPOSED REMEDY.
Five Hundred Thousand Divorces Granted
Within the Last Twenty Years.


Within the Last Twenty Years.
The Hon. Edward J. Phelps, ex-minister
to England and lecturer on law at Yale,
has turned his attention to the subject OF
divorce in the United States" with an
effort to discover practical means of les
sening the evil. How great that evil is
may be seen at a glance from the fact that
during the last twenty years more than
100000 divorces have been granted,
whereas, during the preceding twenty
years only few more than 325, 900 were
granted. This rapid increase is the main
fact which has directed the attention both
of social and legal reformers to the sub
ject. Mr.. Phelps treats it from a practical.
legal point OF view, and considers the
means whereby the law may be best used
as a preventive.
A uniform divorce law in all the states
he regards as impossible ever to obtain,
and his view of the federal constitution is
that it would be illegal for the United
States to enact law on this subject, this
being a matter which falls within state
jurisdiction. He addresses himself, there
lore, to state laws: and. after a discussion
OF the main features of all these laws,
reaches the conclusion that the remedy
will be found in prohibition of marriage
by either divorced party so long as the
other lives. He shows, historically, that
II Is the liberty to marry again that has
caused such an increase in divorces; and
he concludes that it is the desire for an
other marriage alliance that is the main
cause of most separations between hus-
bands and wives Mr.. Phelps contributes
this study OF the subject to the Forum. and
II appears In the December number.

TO one small boy nearly at the bottom of

he was afraid lest the answer he knew so
we'll might be taken from him. "Wen,

DistiIIa'ion of Absin he.


The distillation of absinthe is becoming an
important industry in France. The upper
leaves and twigs of the NORWOOD plant are
maeerated with hysop, calamus, chronicle
ansise, funnel, badane aud other vegetable
substances, and the decoction thus obtained
after having been distilled is treated with alco-
hol, sweetened and colored. Absinthe is n
powerful, but destructive, nerve sumulant
which may be valuable in cases of extreme ex-
haustiOn or extreme fatigue but like
chloral and opium, it is liable TO
abuses, which, in the aggregate far
outweigh all the benefits which are derived
from its legitimate use. Other profitable indus
tries, peculiar to southern France, are the dis
tiliation OF essential oils from wild aromatic
plants. the manufacture of perfumes from Gull
tivated flowers, and the preparation OF pre-
served fruits by the process of capitalization.
Each has been built up in its separate locality,
and become practically monopoly. The same
may be said of the manufacture of the cele-
brated liquors. benedictine and chartreuse. A
fabulous sum was recently offered to the monks
of La Grange Chartreuse. not for the secret Of
the manufacture, hut for the right to use the

As Ed walked stately down the street
And stirring thoughts urged him on faster,

And brought on him q small disaster.

And teach il not to send folks sprawling."
The act was done as soon g. said.
But quickly, too, our lad was falling.
The ugly thing in meaner shape
Had risen while the boy had tumbied
He's up again cut To make,
But this, too, leaves him badly BUNDLED.
Yet twice again he strikes blow
For these we see he has been bleeding.
Once more he whacks this hydra foe,
But now he's led who should be leading.

There yet remains one head TO sever;
