The G. o. P. and Their Tariff Bill.

Nashville American.
The Mckinley tariff bill continues
to be discussed by the politician, the
press and the people, and may be
said to have thus far received much
the worst of the criticism. The bill
has offended all sorts of Republicans
by showing up the very inconsistent
cies of the system of protection.
Eastern Republicans are down on it
because it increases the duty on one
import and decreases it on another,
while Western Republicans are down
on the bill because it decreases the
duty on the one and increases il on
the other. The bill is a sham and a
delusion, the trick of pampered trusts,
a blood-sucking enemy to the people.
1t will never be enacted into a law
and never should be, but at the same
time the Republican party will neg
lect to offer as a substitute any bill
whatever, either in the nature of a
relief from the hardships ofthe pres
ent law or of a revision. The Repub'
lican party is pledged to n or the
other, but will eventually be forced
to confess itself unequal to the pledges
it has taken upon itself. In the con-
tumely with which tariff failure will
enshroud the party in power, even
the Reed code and the treasury loot
ing and the seat stealing methods Of
the present session may be lost sight

the land is at the same time seeded
with clover or grass to be fed, made
into manure or to be plowed under
to restore fertility taHevaI1oh
The direct profit from clover or
grass is not as great as from grain,
yet indirectly it is much greater.
What avails it to a farmer if by the
use of expensive concentrated fer.
tillzers he is making a few profitable
crops, if meanwhile his land has been
running down until it is nearly
valueless? Southern planters, who
crop year after year with cotton
grown by use of phosphates, find
their land good for nothing after a
time. Then they abandon it, let it
run wild until nature slowly, III her
own way, restores another measure
Of fertility to be used up as before.
This is not real farming, 1t is the
attempt by Spectators to make a
few cotton crops at least expense
without regard to any consequences
to the land they cultivate.
Some of the commercial fertilizers
are so soluble that if not used up by
the first crop they are liable to be
washed away and wasted during the
ensuing winter. Nitrate of soda is
one. of these. 1t is a most powerful
stimulant, and can be applied at the
rate of 100 to $50 pounds per acre in
spring to the wheat crop. Its cos
by the quantity is about three cents
per pound. Addressing of $50 pounds
would furnish nitrogen enough fol
I twenty seven bushels of wheat anC
, 1900 pounds of straw, that would
cost $3.50 and If all the benefit wen
to wheat, would Immediately pay
But it is not likely that the whea
. crop during the short time Of it
0 growth in the spring could use s.
n much. A portion must be loft 70
the clover and grass following tn
grain crop.
d 1t is argued by some that becaus
of this diversion of the costly fertili
yer to crops less salable than wheaI
g the change can not be made witt
profit. This does not follow. If tn
first direct benefit of all manures wa
given to grass and clover we believ
the mass of farmers would be richie
than now. The fertilizer might nc
seem to pay 50 we'll as when apple
directly to a grain crop, but it wOul
soon so enrich the soil that the farl
le would become selfsupporting as r.
E? CARDS fertility, and the furthe pu
Il chase of commercial manures migf
be dispensed with. That is II

The Farmers are Moving.

Nashville American.
The farmers of the country, from
one end to the other, are buster in
politics than they have been for
many years. 1t is a healthful and
and unhealthful sign. 1t is unhealth-
full because it shows a tremendous
pressure Of injustice which drives
them to make determined efforts for
relief. 1t is healthful because it
shows a spirit fully aroused. The
farming population is a slow moving
mass and they bear wrong and in
justice with wonderful patience. 1t
is only when wrong becomes intoler-
able that their UtS inertia i%sovercome,
We do not agree with all the RENE
dies sought by the farmers organiza'
tons. Some we think impracticable
and visionary, some wrong in
principle and mistaken as to the
consequences. But farmers have 9
right to think and it is at least goot
that they are on the search foi
measures Of relief. They are thu
natural enemies of trusts and O
exhorbitant tariffs, and their interest
must make them act with the Demo
cratic party. There are other tenta
tive theories advanced by some o
their organizations upon which w
think further consideration vii
change their views. And we believ
that the final conclusion to whicl
they will come will be that tn
interests of agriculture in the Unite'
States are suffering not so much 70
the need of new legislation as fror
unjust laws which need to be repea'
ed. What the farmer needs is
market in which to buy and SCI
free from the intermeddling Of Gov
eminent, and without having to pa
fines to Government pets.

Tools will be put in order, and the
best procured, so that the efficient
work can be done with the labor en-
ployed, and NO time lost for want Of
profitable employment. When re-
pairs Of tools are needed, they should
not be left till wanted, but repaired
in advance, that no delay be had in
waiting for them.
Seeds of the best varieties and Of
the best quality will be procured in
advance, that no delay may be neces-
sary when seed time comes. The
selection Of seeds may be a matter of
much thought, for poor seeds under
the best cultivation will seldom re-
turn any profit. The injury to crops
from planting imperfect seeds, is
vastly greater than we estimate, Of
ten amounting to one-halfa common
crop. The allowing crops to be chok-
ed and damaged by weeds for the
want Of cultivation, is another waste
that the thoughtful farmer will not
allow, knowing that the timely cult
walton of his crop will save the
double purpose of keeping back or
destroying weeds and all foul stuff,
and of keeping the crop in a thrifty
and growing condition. 1t is seldom
that any labor is lost to a growing
crop, that is expended in destroying
weeds, for the stirring of the surface

Special to Memphis Commercial.
WASHINGTON, Mar. 2O.-Speaking
of the Featherstone-Cate contest and
its outcome, today one of the Demo-
Gratis mentioned as being absent said.
The impression has been sent
abroad that Democratic absentees
caused Cate to be unseated. On pa
ges 1884 to 1888 of the Record is
shown every Democrat paired on vo-
ting except two, Whitthorne and
Clancy, and every Republican paired
or voting, except five, Carter, Della
ven, Lows, Mccormick and Wright.
There were then III Republicans and
l59 Democrats, a Republican majority
of twelve. Setting two of the FIVE
not paired against the two Democrats
not paired would leave a Republican
majority of ten, or setting the absen-
tees not paired against the absentees
paired they had seven majority.
Pairing is a matter of honor among
members, recognized by the rules of
the House, and the absence of
one precludes the other from
voting, so that the paired member
reduced the vote equally on the two
sides. trr
On calling the previous question
the vote stood l4l Democrats and Re-
publicans in the negative and l45 Re-
publicans in the affirmative. On the
substitute declaring Cate elected the
vote stood Democrats and Republi-
cans 1873 affirmative, and Republicans
in the negative IA. On the resolu>
tion ~unseating Cate the vote stood,
yeas, Republican, lat nays, Demo
t crat and Republican, 1873. On the res
) olution seating Featherstone the votes
} stood 146 Republican yeas and 49,
nays. Only two Republicans voted
with the Democrats and the pro
gramme to unseat Cate, which wa
. we'll understood beforehand, was ex'

Manuring for FERTILITY.
The Ho mestead.

The Homestead.
For what is manure, says the
american C~tltiUator, mainly used ?
To make the crop, is the first and
most natural answer to this question.
Until the necessity of making the
soil fertile presses itself on the farm
er this is the only correct answer.
While land retains most of its virgin
fertility manure is little thought of.
1t lies under the barnyards because
the cultivator has not spare time to
draw it away. In the early settle
ment of the Mohawk Valley in
New York State, farmers sometimes
removed their barns to get away
from the acoumulations of manure
that were rotting them down.
Others built their barns close to the
banks of streams for the purpose Of
having these bear away the MANURE
that would otherwise become a nui-
sance. Some of them had perhaps
read in ancient history that this was
the way in which Hercules per-
formed one of his great labors in
cleaning the Augean stables by turn
ing a river so that it ran through
them. The successors of those early
farmers have since bought hundreds
of thousands of dollars worth of COM
mercial fertilizers to replace what
their fathers ignOrantly threw away.
. In modern times, to superficial
/, view, the relation Of the manure to
the crop grown by it becomes all the
|, time more obvious. We make the
manure so soluble that as large a
proportion as possible is used by the
first crop. Unless that pays for the
| manure applied, it is usually thought
| that the experiment in buying ma
+ nure has proven a mistake. 1t IL
: a perfectly natural and reasonable
D view for the farmer, heavily in debt
5 that whatever he eXpends in none,
must bring its return within TIN
8 year. The commercial fertilize
comes within this category. TIL,
stable manure, unless extra expens
h has been involved in feeding for thi
purpose, does not. In fact it is ofteI
o made by farmers a distinction be
tween the two that while the bough
e manure helps mainly if not exclu
sively the crop, homemade stabl
n manure helps to keep up fertility
d the land. hi. t..
II Yet these two purposes cannot b
kept distinct, let anyone try as the
,. will. If stable manure did not ger
le orally benefit the first crop it wOul
N more often than it is be left undraw
in the barnyard. If the bought fe
le tilizer did not add something to ii
fertility of the soil the cultivator u
IS ing it would quickly run ashore. .

lie son would strand him, So as con
