In recent issue of the Manufacturer, {
nigh tariff organ, the following criticism
Oh the Chicago Tribune may be found:
Ii the Tribune had chosen to cling to thu
truth with unaccustomed fidelity it would
nave shown that precisely such fall in thu
prices OF wool was foretold by the friend.
OF the MCKINLEY bill, and that it dIlgdys ha
toloped, and aIUays must follow, an increas
of the duties.
On page of the same issue, in an article
showing the protected industries under thu
new tariff bill, it says:
AS the farmer is a wool-grower, hi
shares in the gain from increase of the
duties upon wool, and thus it would appea,
that he's the greatest of ,.u gathers from tn.
higher duties of the 7leW ldw.
1t seems that it is as hard for distant

as 1t is for our ill-mannered downtown

THE FOLLOWING are the retaliation mea-
sures proposed in England by Messrs.
EGMoNT, HAKE and WEsLAU, by which the
Americans are to be brought to their senses
on the tariff question:
duty to be laid on all corn, dairy produce
beef, and other food stuffs which are imported
from the United States.
The capital raised by such duties not to be
absorbed in the revenue OF the country, but tc
form retaliation fund.
Out of this retaliation fund an import bounty
to be paid on all similar food-stuffs imported
from our colonies or any country receiving Brit
ish goods free of duty. A higher bounty to be
paid to freetrading colonies than to protected
colonies.
The bounty to be so calculated that its aggre-
gate amount corresponds with the aggregate
of the duty levied.
No duty to be placed on any food-stuffs tht
importation of which from our colonies canno
be encoul ayed.
The duties to he abolished only when America
admits goods as freely as England now admits
American goods.

A RUINOUS SELFIsHNEss.


There is no one who has followed the
Irish struggle for the splendid principle of
home rule through the past few years. but
who feels grieved at the present unhappy
state OF affairs in thatland With famine
pending, and convulsed with the most bit
| ter and most the important political agitation
ever thrust upon any country, the prospect
is indeed gloomy. For more than ten wears
her warm-hearted, patriot sons have by
united effort steadily rolled the stone of
lreland's fortune up the hill; and Just as
all the world was ready to swear they had
brought 1t TO the summit at last, and was
ready to break out in applause, this present
unhappy quarrel among her sons must
needs break out and down goes the afore-
said stone to the very bottom OF the hill!
A thousand years scarce serve to form state.
An hour may lay it in the Dust i
1t is extremely unfortunate that Mr.. PAR
NELL, whose splendid leadership has
brought to him so many good opinions from
all sorts and conditions of men, could no
see more clearly his duty to his country in
the unhappy complications which have
arisen out of his connection with the
O'SHEA affair. He could see the storm ap-
preaching; but unlike the wise man, he
refused to hide himself, although he knew
there was no protection for his uncovered
head. a week before parliament convened
numerous pulpit fulminations were hurled
against him, universal sentiment per
vaded the English Liberal ranks and found
expression In the Liberal press that he
ought to retire. Still he held on. The day
after parliament convened the grand old
man, GLADSTONE, wrote carefully worded

leadership of the Irish party would be pro-

THE STAMFORD LOAN BILL.

Senator STANFORD is certainly sincere
and earnest in the matter Of his bill to loan
the farmers of this country 500, oO0, 900 for
twenty years, the interest to be per cent.
per annum. We say the Senator is in
earnest, for STANFORD is too good man
and too honest and sincere in the matter of
life to propose a scheme in which he did
not believe. And yet, one cannot easily
understand how a man o. Senator STAN
FoRD's brain and business capacity can ad
vocate the ridiculous plan which he pro-
poses. He must do so out of pure goodness
Of heart and a desire to help the poor
farmers. On no other ground could he
possibly base his advocacy. If another
man should present and urge the PROPOSE
ton people would at once inquire as to the
fellows personal interest in it; that there
is no such inquirp now is due to the fact
that everybody recognizes in Senator
STANFORD a man who is too big and too
honest to practice the methods which too
many of our lawmakers follow.
At the same time the bill which stab
FORD has introduced and of which he is
making hobby should be promptly and
emphatically sat down upon. 1t is full of
danger and ought TO be killed before we be-
come so familiar with it as to lose sight of
the evil which it contemplates
and would certainly bring upon
the country. If the bars should be
once let down, and the government set
itself up as banker or mortgage broker it
viii be difficult if not impossible to close
the door and restore matters to their
proper place. If the nation shall loan to
farmers it will next have to become the
creditor OF manufacturers; and then the
carpenters, the bricklayers. the mechanics
generally and the day laborer will
come forward with demands for
assistance, and it will not he long
before the treasurer has mortgage on the
property of the republic and firm grip
upon the men who nominally own the prop
erty. Imagine the power which a treasurer
would have under such circumstances!
But the political evil growing out of the
operation of the proposed law would not be
all the harm that would come from the
statute. The STANFORD bill would at once
reyolutionize the financial business of the
country. changing all our methods, estab-
fishing new rates of interest and closing
many Of our monetary concerns. The mo-
ment the government went into the mort
gage business and loaned money at > per
cent. per annum there would necessarily
be REIMBURSEMENT of interest rates gener-
ally, and this would be attended by dis
aster.
The scheme is altogether wrong and
because it is wrong we regret that Senator
STANFORD presented it and is so determined
in its advocacy.

running on short time and with disastrous
failures all along the line, were unable to
consume enough American wool to cause it
to advance at all.
The alleged protection to the American
wool grower, is one of the greatest Grim es
perpetrated by government upon long
suffering nation. The price of clothing for
the whole nation is practically doubled by
It, the wooden manufacturers are ruined by
1t, and the wool grower, for whose benefit
the tariff is supposed to exist, receives on
an average no more for his wool, the price
OF which has steadily declined under twenty
years of protection.

Following are the extracts referred to
by our correspondent.
The Journal des De6ats, of Paris, in
publishing the letter of Mr.. Whitelaw
Reid, United States minister, to M. Ri
bot, minister of foreign affairs, concern
ing the prohibition of American pork,
saws: "French prohibition of American
pork seems unreasonable in view of its
having last year secured the highest
prize at the exposition. Under these
circumstances we think, in fact we
know, that the French government will
be disposed to remove the pretext for
the meat inspection bill introduced by
Senator Edmunds, especially as the
sanitary examination which America
provides offers every guarantee to
French consumers. 1t is improbable,
however, that the French government
will withdraw the prohibition before the
reassembling of the chambers"
The Temps, discussing the same sub
ject says that Mr.. Reds letter may be
considered as in some sort an expose of
the motives that led to the recent meas
ures Of retaliation.
LIE PdreS saws: eff the measures of
retaliation should be vigorously en-
forced it would cut off the sale of 400,-
100000 francs worth OF French products
annually. For such an interest it is well
worth while to sacrifice something, The
public health will not be damaged by
admitting a few tons of American
pork"
The Figaro thinks that France was
wrong both in theory and in practice, in
prohibiting the importation of Ameri-
can pork.
The Moniteur Uniuersel points to the
recent address of M. Ribot as providing
that the government is convinced that
it must abandon the idea of prohibition.
This conclusion, it says, was reached af-
ter the governmet had heard from M.
Roustan, the French Minister at Wash
ington, that if France persisted in pro-
hibiting the importation of American
pork 1T would have to submit to heavy
advance in the dnties on it's products,
particularly silks, wines, and works of
art.
La Lanterne asks what the French
wine growers now think of the SItua-
ton to which their legislation has led.
1t believes they will probably soon be
convinced that there is little advantage
in protecting French swine and in the
interest of beet growers and distillers
putting prohibitiye duties on American
corn. If the result is to lose their own
market.
The Steele, after quoting Mr.. Reid's
letter, says: 1--WE can do nothing but
approve absolutely the language of the
United States Minister. The prohibi-
ton against American pork was fault,
and we have to pay for it too dearly not
to wish to put an end very soon to such
q scandalous measure

The "Black Drum" Fish.

The black drum is one of our largest
game fishes, most abundant in the South
ern States, but occurring along the
Jersey coast, and often found in the
waters of Staten Island, where one was
caught last week in Princes Bay.
The drum belongs to the fish family,
which, owing to the peculiar structure of
the air-bladder, possess the power of utter
ing sounds to a greater or less degree.
Other members of the family, such as
the Weakfsh, croaker and roncador, make
a grunting sound when boated (although
old fishermen claim to be able to detect
the presence of large school of weakfish
by the noise made by them); but the
sound of the drum is the loudest, and
can be very distinctly heard at distance.
The croak of the ubiquitous sea robin,
which does not, however, belong to this
family, is familiar to all who have ever
wet line in the bay.
During the breeding season of the
drum this noise is more pronounced than
at any other time, the males calling to
the females, who respond in lower tones
and at night, while feeding on the oyster
and mussel beds, which provide their
principal food, the fish seem to grunt
their satisfaction with the repast. Their
strong, pavement-Eke teeth, work sad
havoc with the oysters, and forty years
ago this July the oyster planters OF
Princes Bay and other nearby waters
lost their entire crop, owing to the
descent upon their beds of vast schools
of this fish. Since then they have
not put in an appearance in such num-
bers, although the damage done by then
is considerable, as they seem to take de-
light in crushing the oysters, ever
though they may not require them TO
food.-Neto York Times.

Cannon Made Of Leather.

'Let me give you bit of history"
said a downtown leather merchant the
other day, "that many a student has
overlooked. The objects of peace are
not all that leather figures in, for it is to
leather that we owe the introduction of
light artillery. Leather cannon have
actually been tried on the battlefield,
and, what is more, turned the tide Of
one of the greatest battles of modern
times. The inventor of leathern artillery
was certain Colonel Robert Scott, a
Scotchman in the service of Charles l., of
England.
"He constructed guns of hardened
leather aud experimentally tried them.
The result was that they were pronounced
superior to guns Of brass or iron. But
the Colonel did not live long to enjoy the
greatest triumph of his invention. He
died in 1881, and a monument erected to
his memory have seen in a churchyard
in London. This monument represents
him as an armor-clad, fierce looking man,
wearing a heavy mustache and pointed
beard.
''In the very year of the Colonels
death the effectiveness of his leathern
artillery was amply proved on the
memorable field of Leipsic, where,
September 7, 1881, Gustavus Adolphus
achieved his splendid victory over the
Imperialists under General Tilly. 1t is
said that it was owing to the invention
of Colonel Scott that the victory was OBJ
tanned.
"The guns were found to be so easily
carried that a small battery could fly
from one part of the field to another,
and thus artillery be brought to bear
where most needed thing impossible
with the heavy artillery of that period.
/ Certain it is that leathern artillery was
used in this great battle by Gustavus,
though it is equally certain that the guus
were never used afterward. The reason
of that, however, was that the leather
guns having demonstrated the value oi
light artillery, a way was discovered ol
making the metal guns lighter, and the
greater durability of the latter gave them
the superiority. "-Frdnb LesIie's.

The Delaware peach is a noble fruit

The Delaware peach is a noble fruit.
"You people who live in the cities don't
know the real taste of a peach, " said an
old-timer of Delaware as he drove
through the orchards of Kent County be-
hind his favorite white horse, intent on
showing the visitor what the country
looked like.
"You mean that picking early for
market Eobs the peach of its best flavor"
was asked.
"That's it, said the old-timer. "We
have TO pick peaches from three to six
days before they are really ripe, so as to
get them to market. Now, a peach will
grow more in the last three days before
il is fairly ripe than in two weeks at any
other time. To know what peach really
is you want to take it from the tree after
it has hung until ii is dead ripe. Our
folks have way of preserving peaches
for their own use, which beats anything
you get from the canneries or the drying
houses. They take the peaches when
they are full ripe and about to drop.
They halve them and lay them on board
in the sun. Before the juice is dried out
the halves are packed down in layers,
with a good layer of sugar between every
two LAYERS of fruit The process is a
good deal like that of preserving figs,
only the layers of peaches are mot pressed
as the ifs are. Peaches put up this way
keep right along. You put cream on
them when you get ready to eat them,
and you have got something good. -

TO BEAT AN EGG.

ANY child knows how to beat an egg,
which is true so far as that any one by
dint of patience and a fork can beat an
egg to a froth, but one person will take
fifteen minutes and have itless light than
another in five. The one will beat fast,
carving the fork, but entangling very
little air; the other will lift the egg, as
it were, and throw it over the fork. This
is the proper way, and does the work in
half the time. Acquire the habit of beat
ing eggs, or, in fact, anything else, from
the elbow, not using the whole arm; the
fatigued will be much lessened. The use
of egg-beaters has made eggbeating for
cakes, such a formidable task in our
mothers days, very light one in ours
but for beating just one egg fork, even
now, is often most convenient. Even
with beater, however, the best results
are obtained by observing certain rules
In hot weather leave the eggs in ice
water or on ice for some time before
using. It is not good plan, however
to keep all your eggs on ice, because they
then become so thoroughly chilled that IL
boiling them you cannot estimate th'
time required, and should they becom'
frosted they are inferior for all purposes
In beating the whites of eggs tiny pinct
of salt will tend to facilitate the work.
Good housekeeping.
