The blue Lobelias. varieties of Lobel-

baskets and vases, and are much used
for this purpose Few persons are
aware. however, how fine a basket can
be made by the use of the Lobelia alone.

green foliage intermingled with the ex-
quisite blue flowers. For this purpose
four or five plants at most are enough
for even a large sized basket. The soil

with water as needed, according to its
growth, and never allowing the plants
to be checked by going dry through

THE TARIFF ON WOODS.

The tariff on foreign woods has always
been a favorite point Of attack with
those who seek to break down the pro-
tective system. They seem never to
have forgotten the advice of their patron
saint. Richard Golden, to concentrate
their attack upon some single point, as,
this gained, further conquest will be
found all the easier.
But in demanding repeal Of the wool
tariff tae free trade attorney is COM
PEELED to ignore the sympathy at other
times affected for the farmer. and to
shut his eyes to the fact that three
fourths Of the wool growers Of the
country are farmers, holding sheep as q
portion Of their farm equipment. And
in this inconsistency he exposes the fact
that his plea for free wool-like that for
other so-called raw materials-is but a
yelled attack upon the whole system OF
protection 70 domestic industries.
While tile llock owner Is pointed 10
the low prices Of woods as proof that
the tariff is Of no benefit to him. every
other man who is supposed to have an
interest in making wool cheaper than it
is now is asked to vote to put wool on the
free list under assurance that it is tariff
that keeps prices at present figures. The
only consistency to be found in this lies
in the desire to break down the protec-
tive policy. and to that end by confusing
voters who may be honestly endeavoring
TO determine what is for their best in
terosts.
Foreign woods are especially menac-
ing to the business Of the domestic flock
owner by reason of the facility with
which they can be transported and the
safety and economy Of storage while
awaiting the convenience Of purchasers.
Add to this the admitted advantage Of
an adequate home supply, and the
farmers right to equal protection with
his fellow citizens in other callings. and
there remains no argument against the
existing wool tariff outside of that fav-
orug the removal Of all protective
duties.
