How to Defeat the Juts Trust.


The cotton planters this year have dealt
the jute trust a heavy blow. By the use OF
cotton bagging they have forced the trust
to make very large reduction in the price
of jute bagging The fight against the
| trust, however, has been a somewhat costly
one to them, because cotton bagging being
much lighter than jute bagging they have
not received as much per bale for their cot
ton as they would had they used jute bag
ging.
The farmers alliance of Richmond
county. few days ago, passed resolutions
to the effect that cotton bagging was too
costly covering for cotton, aad advised a
search for a cheaper covering for next
| years crop.
day or two ago the MORNING NEWS
published an interview in which the point
was made that the farmers alliances could
not do a wiser thing than TO send commit
tee of their strongest men to Washington
to appear before the ways and means COM
mittee and urge that the duty on jute and
jute bagging be removed. That committee
has fixed day for hearing all who have
anything to say in favor OF removing the
uuL1 Ou JuIe
The farmers and millers Of the north west,
who are also sufferers from the jute trust,
will join hands with the farmers Of the
south to have the duty on juts repealed.
On last Wednesday, the Milwaukee milIsrs
held meeting and appointed committee
to confer with the Millers' National As
ISOLATION, with the views of having that
association urge upon the ways and means
committee sof congress the necessity for
abolishing the duty on jute.
The farmers alliances should follow the
example of the millers of the north west,
and take steps at once co have their inter-
ests represented in Washington. With the
duty on jute and jute bagging removed, a
lure bagging trust would bsimpossible. The
farmers have an immense influence, which,
If properly exerted, is sufficient to give such
legislation as they want. There is no rea-
son why congress should not regard favora-
bly, request from them to remove the duty
on jute and jute bagging. They can show
that the jute manufacturers have made the
duty on jute and jute bagging the basis of
great trust, and that the trust has robbed
them. There are strong reason, therefore,
why the jute manufacturers should not be
favored in any respect.
But why should few jute manufactur-
ers be favored at the expense of the cotton
planters, wheat growers, and millersi Is
there any justice in legislation that permits
few factories to exact q heavy tax from
the farmerss
The farmers are the sufferers from the
protective tariff. They receive no benefit
from it whatever. The removal Of the duty
on jute and jute bagging would be worth to
them millions of dollars annually, and it
will break up one of the most oppressive
trusts that have ever levied a tribute upon
the toiling millions of the country. The
Republican party declares that it is opposed
to trusts. Let it prove its sincerity by
favoring legislation that will destroy the
jute trust.

MOthar'S Room.

From Vick's Magazine for December.
lis the cheeriest room in the household,
With window seat battered and bruised
Where the carpets the chairs and the table
Are never too good to be used.
Here little ones come with their sorrows,
Or bubble with laughter and noise;
Bring sweetest caresses and kisses.
And scatter their books and their toys.
And when the days lesson is over,
They come. With their chatter and song,
To the sunniest room. where dear mother
And all that is lovely belong.
IL the threads of their lives get tangled.
She quietly stra ghtens them out,
And gathers them sweetly united
Her little low rocker about.
Dear mother. DER all presiding,
o, honored and beautiful queen,
You gather your loving subjects
With grace that is rarely seen.
Then who, to keep spotless and tidy
The carpets, and windows and doors
Would lose the sweet laughter of childhood
And love from such beautiful stores?

The Taper in Hair-Trimming.

From the NetC York World
The new idea of burning the hair off with a
taper, instead of cutting it. may strengthen the
roots and beautify the hair, as BARRIERS say it
VIII, but the fad should not be sprung uncere-
monlously on everybody. 1t is no ordinary
terror that strikes mans soul when he sud
denly finds his hair is on fire.
This was made painfully manifest yesterday
A man from New Jersey brought some rab-
bits into town, and, after sampling sew
eral grades OF whisky, brought up in a Broad
way barber shop, where he said he wanted to
get his hair cut. The barber had been using
the taper on city customer, and without any
questions and no more judgment, went to work
TO SINCE the countryman's abundant locks.
Shaking up the hair to make It light and com-
ouStible, he lifted a combful of it and thrust
the burning taper into the mass.
Come TO the bridal chamber, death. Come
to the mother when she feels for the first time
her first -born's breath. Come in consumption
CHASTITY form, the earthquakes shock, the
oceans storm; but do not come to countryman
Ia a shape to make him think his head is on
fire.
There was puff of fame, G" cracking noise
like burning brush, an odor like the awful
breath of peStilence, and the New Jerseyman
was out. of that chair as if lifted by dynamite
lie yelled fire and bloody murder Ike a whole
band of redskins while his arms flew around his
head like boy fighting hornets in a hay fie ID
In his frantic effort to save himself from a liv-
ing death he Knocked over two BARRIERS, pulled
down a chandelier. smashed a looking-glass
and then fell exhausted into q corner yelling
for some one to save MIN.
BARRIERS and customers who had fed to the
street ventured back and picked him off the
floor where he was groaning like a lost soul
You are all right" said his barber, as ne led
him trembling back to the chair. Nothing at
all the matter with you.'
Wasn't the devil himself in here just now?"
asked the countryman
NO."
Wasn't some one after me with red hot
scythe?"
no"
Wasn't the house on fre?"
No"
Gentlemen" he said, solemnly, as he viewed
the wreckage, make out your bill for damages
and I'll ask you to bear witness to this, my sol
emn oath, that l, John Quincy Hammersmith
of South Orange, n. J., will never touch
another drop Of whisky as long as live so
nelp me!''
The barber finished the job with the shears.

executive session, a stranger was seen sit
ting complacentiy in the gallery. 1t was
the first time in fifty years that such a
thing had happened. Granny Hoar, of
Massachusetts, and Mr.. Edmunds, of Yer

they threw up their hands simultaneously
and gave piercing shrek. The scene that
followed was exciting. Several senator's
rushed over to hold bottle of smelling
salts TO the noses of the frightened gentle
men from Massachusetts, and Vermont, and
to inquire if they were going to faint, and,
if so, why. In answer, two index fingers
were pointed to the gallery, and't voices,
weak with emotion, were heard, ga man

said, would retain his dignity if he fell
through an open trap-door, walked sedately
and impressively to the stranger, and re-
quested him to seek other quarters.

Tho New York Tribune sets up a wall
because there are so many ex-confederate
officers in congress. 1t seems to think that
the country is in danger from them. A
democratic newspaper which heard the Trib-
Une'S wall went to work and, by studying
the new congressional directory carefully,
found that there are more ex-union than
ex-confederate officers in congress. The
people of both north and south are inclined
to give the preference in politics to men
who made good records in the war The
Tribune doesn't object to this in the north,
and its objection TO it in the south will
count for nothing
