The Chicago Tin Plate Combine.

Organs whose duty it is to support
the fraudulent industrial system now
practiced in America are delighted to
know that tin plate will be made in
Chicago. Without ascertaining what
constitutes tin plate, the eager advo-
Gates have proceeded to show that
'the new steel trust will soon be get
ting the tin ore, smelling it and rolling
it into tin plates" and all because of
tariff of 81 per cent.
1t happens that of the many infants
this tin plate infant has been the slow
est to seize the fond teat OF protection.
For twenty-five years the country has
been using about $l5,O0O,000 of tin
plates q year, every scrap o.. which was
imported. Without the war tax the
cost would have been $40, 1000. 900 a
year. Now the steel trust will try to
share this $5,O00,00O of tax with the
Federal Treasury. This is the cause
of the Republican JOY.
Such blessings, for the taxpayer,
are precisely like the establishment OF
the poor-house, the insane asylum. the
county hospital Chicago will have
the honor of homemade tin plate,
and the manufacturer of tin plate will
give the mills reason for begging
that the tariff so long maintained shall.

TO MAKE GOOD CROPS.
The Three Things Essential to Securing a
Fair Yield of Grain.

Tho Three Things Essential to Securing
Fair Yield of Grain.
In the making of good crops three
things are essential. These are q
good soil thoroughly prepared; good
seed carefully planted in good season,
and thorough cultivation, given at the
proper time. The growth and yield
of the crops are largely dependent
upon these three items, and q failure
of either one will affect the yield to a
greater or less extent. With the rich
soil the elements of plant growth are
furnished, the preparation places it in
a good condition to be taken up and
used by the growing plants, and in adj
dition aids materially to secure a bet
ter termination. For good seed plant
ed in well-prepared soil not only
terminate in q shorter time, but there
will be less of the seed that will fail
to grow, so that with these conditions
provided not only will a better germi-
nation be secured but thriftier and
move vigorous plants will be started
up.
With these secured the next inn
portant item is thorough cultivation,
given in good season. With vigor-
Gus, thrifty plants at the start, good
growth can be readily kept up if good
cultivation is given. 1t must be given
in good season, as the best
growth can be obtained only by
keeping clean and in a good filth.
If five or six workings are necessary
to give good crop, as far as possible
the first three at least should be given
in the first four weeks after the plants
appear above the ground.
If a good growth is secured from the
start and the crop is planted in good
season, so that a good growth is made,
the plants will withstand a drought
with more or less damage than when
this has not been done, and it is posi-
BILE, by securing this growth, to keep
it up by good cultivation, so that fair
yield may be obtained, even in an un-
favorable season. But neglect of either
one of the essentials will be certain to
affect the growth and yield.
The quality of the seed and the man.
ner of planting largely determines the
stand, while the fertility of the soil
and the cultivation largely determines
the growth and yield of the plants that
have started up. The best yield can
only be realized by getting a good even
stand of healthy, vigorous plants and
then keeping up good growth until
the CROP is made by thorough cultiva
ton. The more thoroughly these con
litions are supplied the better The

THE NEXT CONGRESS.
How tho Republicans Propose to Circum'
vent the Democratic Minority.

How tho Republicans Propose TO Circu">
vent the Democratic Minority.
According to an organ OF tariff
brieandage, "there is a great deal ut
astonishing talk of what the Dem
ocrats in the next Congress will Lot
permit the Republicans to do, al
though 1t is not denied that the Re-
publicans will have clean majority
in the House." The Democrats, it
appears, have declared that they will
oppose to the utmost certain meas
ures proposed by the Republicans.
For example, they will resist with all
their votes and influence an addition
to the denominations of the tariff and
any measure proposing to extend the
interference of the Federal authority
with elections in the States.
These purposes are not only entire
ly within the legal rights of the Dem
ocratic minority, but they are just
and proper as means for the pEotec-
ton of the people and the promotion
of the general welfare. The possible
ity that the Democrats. having only
narrow majority to contend against,
may be able to defeat the most cher
ished schemes OF the other party, is
particularly grievous to the chiefs OF
the latter, and, as consequence. plans
for increasing the Republican strength
in the House are being prepared.
One of the methods by which the OPP
position of the minority is to be circpm--
vented, if the majority managers can,
have their way, is the adoption OF
a sort of CLOSURE" or "cloture" sys-
TEN, like that in use for gagging the
Parnellites in the British Parliament.
Another plan is--and it appears to be
thought the most effective-to turn
out the Democrats from every contest
ed seat and put Republicans in their
places. In order to give this speedy
effect, however, it will be necessary 10
get the ''cloture" in operation, SO That
long speeches and other dilatory pro-
ceedings may be shut of.
On the whole, taking the plans OF
the Republicans as their own organs
describe them, the Democrats will be
amply justified in contesting every
step proposed to be taken in this ut
terly infamous programme and in de-
liberately and determinedly opposing
all moves designed to reduce the vot-
ing strength OR impair the constitu-
tional privileges of the minority, or to
impose additional burdens on the peo-
pie, by the new Congress- No harm
can be done if the necessary appro-
priation bills are the only acts passed
at the next session of Congress-

Safe and Sound.

The word .ssafe,' is from the Latin "salu.
are," to save, preserve. Safe indicates
freedom from harm or danger; sound, UNI
scathed, unchanged, secure, whole, as, safe
from disease.
1t is likewise regarded as comforting
safety, to DO relied upon. Its synonyms
are secure, unendangered, sure. "Salu-
tary' is from the same root, meaning
health, safety. The term Is defined by
photographers as wholesome, healthful,
promoting health; contributing to some
beneficial purpose; salubrious, useful, ad-
vantageous, profitable, favorableness to the
preservation of health and prosperity.
How fitting tho word, as applied to War
ner's Safe Remedies, which meet every re-
quirement of both materia medica and
etymology.
Their use protects from disease, and is q
safeguard to the entire race.
Warmers Safe Cure has been extensively
used in this and every other civilized
country, and is recognized as the most
beneficial remedy known to man. 1t has
long been recognized Though not publicly
by the medical profession as the most va.u-
able compound for the general restora-
ton of the human system, by putting the
kidneys in a healthy condition, as when
these great organs are restored to a healthy
action then the poisonous waste matter is
expelled by the only blood-purifying organs
of the system.
Few are aware that the kidneys are the
only organs that can purify the blood.
Fancy the danger Of poisoned blood con.
tinually coursing through the body-65 gal
Ions of blood per hour, or 4S barrels per
day, pass through the kidneys, yet the un-
suspecting regard them as Of little i'm
portance until they are stricken down. Poi
soned blood engenders general debility,
pneumonia, lung and bronchial troubles,
paralysis, apoplexy, heart complications,
rapidly failing eye-sight, scrofulous and
cancerous sores, and other serious malar
dies, which might be averted if the kidneys
properly performed their work and ex-
PEELED the poisonous, waste matter.
When the medical profession will strike
at the root instead of hewing the branches,
then we can hope for happy relief from
many of the ills of the present day. When
diseases are called by their right names, and
the real causes of death are made known,
instead of death from symptoms OF kidney
disease, it is then that the people will be-
come more fully aware of the terrible
fatality of diseases caused by imperfect
action Of the kidneys.
We have often used our columns for the
benefit Of our readers toproclaim the merits
of the great remedy heretofore mentioned,
which is daily becoming more popular, and
| we can but repeat the words so often used
in their advertisements, which are very
simple and very easy, and within the reach
of all our readers-viz., to ask your friends
and neighbors about it.
