TheScarcrow of Higher Prices

The promptness with which journals
in the conspiracy to depopularize the
new tariff law have acted upon the
order from headquarters to insist that a
general advance in prices Of manufac'-
ured articles will result from its On
forcement has raised a conflict of vera
city between publishers aud their adj
vertising patrons. While editorials are
insisting that prices of all kinds of
goods have advanced, merchants are
paying for the use of the adjoining
columns in which to set forth the fact
of their willingness to supply customers
at prices quite as low as have ever ruled
for similar articles.
More than average temerity must ex-
list ON the part of writer's or less than
average intelligence be credited to
readers in expecting men to disregard
facts so readily within reach of every
one who cares to look for them. Side
by side with assurances from merchants
of recognized responsibility that goods
can now be bought of them at prices
lower than ever before, free-trade
agents are repeating the stale maxim
that any tariff on foreign products
..raises the price to consumers of all
articles imported and subject to duty
by precisely the sum paid for such
duties" and are insisting that NEARLY
or quite the same enhanced price" ha:
been added to all protected articles Of
domestic manufacture.
Not only does the free-traders' con
tention that the tariff is added to price,
find refu:ation in the advertising co
umns of most journals repeating that
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1890-12-11

absurdity lit finds contradiction in the
actions of the principal cOnspirators
themselves. If true that foreigners
have only to add the tariff to the selling
prices of their products and our people
will pay the difference, why such intense
interest on the part of free-trade attor-
neys-why such enormous expenditures
Of effort and money to break down pro-
tective barriers? Evidently they are
wanting in candor as well as consist
ency.
Il is the wholesome fear of loosing
American customers by having the
wants of our people supplied from do
nestle manufacturers-andn not the fear
of higher prices that occasions Euro
pean solicitude and inspires the activity
of importers and other free-trade agents
this side the Atlantic. Voters who can
not see this despite the glamor of
sophistry and clouds of misrepresenta-
ton by which it is sought to have the
real facts concealed, have yet lesson
to learn, to which they can none too
soon apply themselves.

Once More into the Breach

Even good in this world cannot be
done without a struggle, for we urge
ourselves often into doing what is best
for the health and comfort, when we
could do the best even without effort.
To convince others and TO pursuade
them, we should use the arguments
which influence our own Judgment.
For example: the ills of suffering hu-
mainly should be relieved promptly and
permanently. There is but one way of
doins SO, and that is by procuring the
surest remedy. Some remedies are
good, others are better. but long ex-
perience and undoubted proof point to
only one as the best. There is no
questioning this fact in the treatment
of pains and aches, and when the adj
vertisements of St. Jacobs Oil, which
have commenced for the season their
appearance in the columns of this
paper, catch the eye. the best certainly
stands revealed. The great remedy for
pain holds the confidence of the public,
and has done so these many, many
years, and it is truly worthy of it.

The Christmas Holidays

Are an especially enjoyable season of
the year, and IS the one festival univer-
sally celebrated among all civilized ma
tons. Popularity. 1t is supposed TO
have its origin in commemoration of the
day Christ was born, but the literary
people who are versed in folklore, tell
us that a festival Of similar character
was observed among the Teutonic and
Morse people long before any knowledge
of Christianity reached them. However
this may be, it is priceless benefit to us
that we have breathing spell in our
hustling for livelihood, When we do
really "take day off" try to enjoy
ourselves, and make our friends happy
with gifts. Why not make yourself and
family happy by taking trip to the
sunny and aowery South in the two
holidays? 1t will be the best thing you
ever did fol. pleasure or rest. From the
great Northwest and the Upper Missis-
sippi Valley, 1.-THE Burlington is the

says that perhaps the readers may find
as much of the true Christian feeling in

One cause of failure to secure blooms
is injudiciOus watering-deluging at one
time and withholding at another, and
paving no attention to the needs of the
different varieties. The appetites and
needs of plants are as varied as those of
people, and their tempraments differ,
too; there are sanguine, the sensitive.
the phlegmatic-each requiring to be
dealt with accordingly. While one plant
will thrive, notwithstanding the utmost
neglect, and subsist on almost nothing
another must have nourishing food and
warm drink. 1t is good plan to adapt
the water TO the temperature of the
room, and always be quite sure that the
drainage is good. Often a plant will
droop and look sicklY. when, if the INST
ter is look into, it will be found that
water stands in the bottom of the jar.
A bent wire is always useful in this case,
for by penetrating the holes at the base
of the pot, and stirring the earth, pas
sages will be made for the escape of
stagnant water and gas. Then water
freely, being sure that the water runs
through quickly; drain all off, loosen the
soil at the top of the jar and withhold
moisture until the plant is again heal
thy.
The Gala, as is well known, requires
plenty of quite warm water; if in a
double jar boiling water may be used in
the lower jar and will wonderfully hast
en- growth and blossoms. Fuchsias are
thirsty plants, especially when in flower.
and moisture is necessary TO the Chinese
primrose. The majority of plants re-
quire weekly bath; in fact. nothing so
inyigorates them as shower bath of
tepid water. Those which caunot be
removed readily for the showering, may
have their leaves sponged.--VICK's MAG
AzINF for Decemher.

AN EFFORT is being made to pass a
bill to incorporate the Indians into
regiments of United States troops, I'M
der the supposition that the routine of
army life would be beneficial in sub
iectin0 their natures. As a matter Of
fact the Indians are too well armed as
it is, and if the authorities had taken
measures to prevent their securing the
most approved fire arms they would not
be near so saucY now. To arm and
drill them would be to make their re-
volts more organized and harder to
deal with.
