tinent Questions:
If the Democratic theory that the
Tariff is a tax is correct, why is
not the price of goods upon which du-

the full extent of the tariff!
IL the tariff is tax. why is it that
plate glass, with duty of about So
per cent, can be bought for nearly
one third less now than in 1850!
If the tariff is tax, why is it that
salt is selling at rs cents barrel at

If the tariff is tax, why ale steel
rails selling at from $3.50 to S32 per

If the tariff is tax. why is it that
more pottery can be bought now for

If the tariff is tax, why is it that
saws, which were not made in this
country before a duty was imposed,

In lecture on the sugar beet at
Minneapolis the other evening Prof.
ID. N. Harper of the state experiment
al station, contended the day of ex-
perimenting in the industry was now
past, and the work on hand is to edu-
cate the farmer along this line.
Light, sandy loan is best fitted for
the raising of the sugar beet. 1t
should not be new soil, that which
has been previously planted to corn,
oats, or other grains, being the best.
A beet weighing about a pound and a
half gives the best results, thing
which the farmer should keep in
mind. Had the professor undertaken
to give description of the soil along
the river in Goodhue Co. he could not
have done so more accurately than he
has here in describing the soil best
fitted for the production of sugar
beets. If market can be provided
for the product there need be no
doubt of the rapid and substantial
development of the industry here

The following letter recently re-

court experience for worshipiDg on

while lying in Jail at Troy, Tenn:

DEAR BRoTHER:-I received your good
letter day before yesterday. Was glad
to hear from you, as it was the first
letter that have received from any
of our people since | have been here
in Jail. You cannot imagine how
glad 1 am to hear from any one.
There are none of our people nearer
than Is miles to me.
have got along splendidly so far.
The jailer and his wife have been as
kind to me as they could b., and seem
to place great deal of confidence in
me. as they let me have the keys to go
in and out of Jail when please, and
give me a nice room to sleep in all to
myself.
| do not know how long / shall have
to stay here. | am looking all the
time for Col. Richardson to come after
me. | guess / will get out before
long. 1t seems strange to me that |
have to lie in Jail for working on Sun
day, when | can look out from here ON
Sur lay and see people at work close
enough by to halloo at, and nothing
said about it. Last Sunday they
hauled wood here to brick kiln, four
or five men working all day. But, of
course, they were not Adyentists.
The editor of the News Banner"
a paper published here in Troy, has
been down to see me, and had quite
talk with him. lie wanted to know
if would go home and quit working
on Sunday if the judge would let me
go. told him the judge could not
let me go home if he wanted to. Said
he, "Would you not go home and quit
working on Sunday, or leave the State,
if the governor should pardon you!"
| told him that | could not say that /
would quit working on Sunday, for l
thought that had God-given right
to work six days if l chose to do so,
and that l did not propose to leave
the State either.
The people are very friendly to me,
and | have some good visits with
them. There are nine prisoners here
in all. One black man has been down
sick for three months, and will soon
die here in Jail. They are rough
set of prisoners; are just about half
fed, and have horrible place in
which to stay. We have some good
talks. however, about the goodness of
God, though they know but little
about the enjoyment there is in the
religion of Jesus Christ.
Your sincere brother in faith and
hope, r. NJ. KING.

Men may write and men may talk,
but they can't get away from the cold
hard fact that the more goods we buy
of foreign producers, which are or can
be produced in America, the less We
shall buy of home producers. So, If
British, French and German products
come in here by the million dollars
worth, that means American produc-
ers have just that less market in
America for their products. 1t takes
no craftsmanship to see this; no man
who can count five can help seeing it.
Neither does it follow, as the free
traders claim, because we buy wooden
goods, cutlery, tin plate and the like
in England, that England will buy of
us our surplus products. This is but
one of many Democratic fallacies; it
is pretty theory but does not work
in practice. The United States has
bought coffee. sugar and dye woods of
Brazil to an enormous amount yearly
for many years. but the ships which
bring these Brazilian goods to our
shores take almost nothing back.
They sail empty to Europe and load
with the products of European cheap
labor. We can have the trade of Bra
zil when we pay no more to our work.
ing people than is paid in Germany,
France and England. Free trade
alone will not insure us the benefit of
the ''markets of the world" of which
we hear so much; after getting Demo-
cratic free trade we must equalize
conditions as to the cost of material
and labor with our competitors or we
shall be as far away from selling
goods in foreign markets as we are to-
