unusually warm in all districts east Of

California coast, and it has been
slightly cooler than usual OH the Pa
cific coast, Over the central valleys
extending from the Gulf coast north

Ia, the average temperature for the
entire month was about 15o above the

Only light frosts occurred along

The Farmer and Protection

The American farmer, although h,
cultivates the most fertile soil in tn,
world, and ought to be the most pros
porous member of the community, j.
constantly engaged in hard struggl,
to secure comfortable support fol
his family and a moderate education
for his children, and to pay his take:
and keep out of debt. This is all he
can reasonably hope to accomplish
in large majority of cases he fails
even to do this, and sonner or latte,
is compelled to sell or mortgage hi:
land and reduce his expenditures to
the lowest possible figures. He has a
paternal government which has deter
mined that certain classes of industry
ought to be maintained at the public
expenses, and for thirty years he has
been taxed for their support; and now
after these favored industries have
become rich and powerful, they com.
bine and confederate under the names
of trusts, syndcates and pools, and
dictate the terms upon which the
people may procure the necessaries Of
life and carry on their business. I'M
der our system Of taxation, the farm.
er is almost without the semblance of
power to protect his own interests.
The manufacturer can forsee with al
most absolute certainly what the
quantity of their product will be up
on the employment of any given
number of hands, and, therefore, they
can combine whenever they choose to
limit production and increase prices
but the farmers crop depends almost
entirely upon the character of the
season he may have, and he cannot
decide in advance how much he must
plant in order TO furnish supply that
will not be in excess of the demand.
Notwithstanding these and many
other disadvantages under which he
labors, and which no act of Congress
can remove, Senator Cullom thinks
protection has been more beneficial to
him than to any one else, and he ref.
ers to "the great improvement in the
material welfare of the farming and
country people" during the last thirty
or forty years, to justify his opinion
Gall this comfort and general i'm.
provement' he attributes to protection
1t would be far more reasonable t.
conclude that if they had been ex
empt from this heavy taxation ant
permitted to expend their money fol
the improvement of their own pro
perty and the education of their child
rem, there would be fewer mortgage
upon their land, and greater degre,
of comfort and prosperity among thu
farmers and country people.-Johr
G. Carlisle in the January Forum.

For the Future.

The question being often asked
"What has Alpena for the future" il
may not be out of place at this time
to cite a few of the products that AL
pena and vicinity possesses, which will
be brought to bear in the future well
fare of the community.
1t is well known to every one who
has any knowledge of this part of oui
great State, that our forests YET
abound in immense quantities of mar.
ketablo timber, aside from pine, such
as maple, beach, birch, ash, Eastwood
spruce, hemlock, tamarack, cedar and
elm, all of which possess qualities for
manufacturing purposes known the
world over.
1t is a conceded fact that the pine
in this region will not last many years
longer at the rate of the present cut
ting, and it must be apparent to the
thoughtful that some other industries
must be substituted for our present
lumber mandatory when the pine
shall be exhausted. And to be on
hand when the time shall come, it is
of Importance to Alpena and our cit
liens generally, that the initiative be
taken at as early a day as possible,
tending to the establishment of new
industries.
Alpena being the natural outlet for
northern Michigan, it is safe to say
that manufactures Of various kinds
might be established here, which would
not only tend to our future prosperi-
ty, but also be of paying investments
to parties able to put their capital and
energies into suitable enterprises for
the consumption of the products of
the great forests of this locality. 1t
seems reasonable to us that there might
be maintained in Alpena, with profit,
a good furniture mandatory, box
factory, match factory, pail and tub
factory, stave and heading factory,
and probably others, all of which
could be well supplied with the raw
materials from our forests, thus not
only converting the timber wealth in
to money, but also supplying a large
amount of labor to mechanics, and
furnishing capital Il chance for profit
able investment.
1t is not too early to commence now,
and before the year 1890 has gone
out, we hope to see some substantial
and well grounded movements made
in the direction of establishing new
and increased manufacture for our al
ready prosperous city. The task once
commenced, and the advantages be-
coming known to the manufacturing
world, the good work will surely go
steadily on.

SAILORS SUGGESTIONS.
Tn. One About u Dead Itody Is the Mo.
Dreaded.

IL is an old sailor superstition, says the
New York Times, that "A ship that carries a
lead body on board Is always SURE To have
trouble before the cruise is over, and
many "a time has this remark been APP
Piled by the al told you SOS" aboard The
Enterprise. thar lately brought cx-Minis-
ter Pendlcton's body Ia this port. ut has
never been known To fail" is a verdict TO
which the very large majority agree with
out question.
In a queer old book now out of date
this question is asked: "Doth "a dead
body i'm a shippe cause the shippc To sail
slower, u il II doe, what Is thought TO
he the reason thereof ~ The answer
given, although lot perhaps quite all
one would desire, Is cleycrly
enough put To admit of repetition:
ing as Of the dead, and as the living makes
il goc the faster, so the dead make il not
goe the slower, for the dead are m phc-
moras To alter the course OF her passage,
tho some there he hat think 81, and that
by a kind Of mournful superstition"
This is quite as lively, however. as mot
superstitions Oh shore, aud there is moIe
or less OF IA shade Of probability about il.
Those who favor the idea claim that IL
the ccrie knowledge of the immediate
ncighborhood of "A dead body weighs upon
Jacks spirits by constantly reminding
him of that unpleasant fact which he likes
TO forget that there is only a plank be-
feet his power OF work and, therefore,,
cause the shippe to sail slower" To
those who cannot entertain an idea Of the
superstition, there may possibly he more
or less Of reasonableness in the above
idea.

Few of our readers are aware that
France is Ia he placed in the list of gold
producing countries. for, although Caesar
speaks OF il as Gauiio dUrifs,o, IL IA SONY
lately come into notice that "a region in
the department Of the Ardcchc has pro-
duced nuggets Of gold Of varying size. A
specimen was picked mp some time ago
by "A peasant, who carclessly threw il
away without appreciating it's value. IL
was lately r~ediscovered by another peas
ant. who showed il To- a local jeweler, and
by whom il was finally sent To Paris for
examination.
The nugget consists Of ~ per cent. pure
gold. is about 3.s inches In length, and
weighs something over n pound, which
would make its actual value about $40,
although AS a neurological curiosity IL
Is doubtless worth much more.
Since the discovery of this ugget has
been made public, IL has been learned
that IN past years several other Jumps of
gold nave been picked up in the same re-
gion, all Of which were much smaller and
were not preserved. but sold To the local
jewellers and at once melted up. The
country in which the gold has pc found
is mountainous, and contains numerous
veins Of pyrites. argenuferous ealena and
many other minerals. The principal
