How the Tariff ON iiinding Twine An cts
weaera wheat Growsis.
One OF the members OF tho binding
tw.ne trust speaking against tho action
OF tho Senate in Tuiting binding twine
on the free list attempted to show that
the duty on that article was so little
that II could not make any apprec able
difference to the farmers. lie said that
free binding twino could not amount to
q gain OF more than two-tenths OF y
cent per bushol to the farmer
Even admitting that his figures are
correct free twino will mean q great
deal TO the wheat growers Let us see.
The wheat crop of this year has been
estimated at 500. 900. 600 bushels. II we
allow that 400. 900. 900 bushels OF this
arc harvested with twine. what would
DO the gain to tho growers? Two
tenths OF cent por bushel on 400 00O.-
900 bushels would amount to $500. 90
Senator Dav 8, OF Minnesota, said in
his speech aga nst the trust that the
binding-tw.ne duty affected the people
OF his State alono to the amount OF
nearly a million dollars. II this Is true.
the estimate above OF member Of the
trust Is far too low.
But even II We accept his figures OF
two-tenths OF cent per bushel. giving q
total OF $500. 900. Is not that sum worth
saving to the wheat grower rather than
lot 1t go TO greedy and rapacious
trust?
For the ycar ended June so, 1897, i'm
ports OF wheat into this country
amounted to l57, 900 bushels, valued at
sils,000 In order to mako q pretence Of
helping the farmer, Mckinley raises the
duty OF 20 cents bushel on wheat to IS
cents. lie prctonds to think that the
trining amount brought in constitutes
m appreoiablc compel ton with our own
wheat and that by diminishing the
Insignificant imports ho will save some-
thing to the farmers. lle says himself
In regard to his duties on farm products
his "tin-whistio" duties, as Butter
worth calls them-that these duties
ARE advanced with view to save this
entire market to tho American farm
era"
Suppose that his ave-cent rate cuts
down these triiiing imports OF foreign
wheat about one-half-saving, say, $780,
900; is 1t not much more important to
help the wheat-growors to the extent OF
ss0O,000 by giving them frce twine?
This latter method OF helping the farm
ers out OF their ''wide-spread depres-
sion," as Mckinley calls It does not
seem TO have suggested itself to the
mind OF that eminent statesman. Why
should he strain at a iive-cent duty and
swallow a trust

FOUR-lEAF GLOVER.
To IinI Them Require. Nothing s.
Training of the Eve.


To TinI Them Require. Nothing Save
Training OF the Eye.
Tho mass OF people have strange
ideas about the finding OF n four-leai
clovor-that is. about the ability to find
them. Two persons out of every three
will say when the subject Is mentioned.
"why. never found four-leaf clover
in all my life." Yet four-leaf clovcrs
arc great deal moro common than peo-
Pile think. The trouble is that meat
people do not know how to SEQ tbenL
The general impression is that tho abil-
ity is the result of kind of spirit OF
divination or some special sense of per-
ception WHICH Is bestowed on only few
specially lucky mortals. 1t is nothing
OF the kind.
1t Is n simple training OF the eye. 1t
is the eye that hnds the clover, not the
person. II is precisely the same educa-
ton of tho eye that enables "a trained
proof-readcr, for instance, to detect in
stantly the least departure from the
ordinary appearance OF word. Ono
may find hundreds OF four-ieaf clovers
without giving 1t one conscious thought,
II ones eyes have only got in the way
Of It The eye, when trained, wandcrs
over tho patch OF leaves and instantly
detects the slightest variation in the
trefoil pattern, just as the eye OF the
proof-reader secs tho variation in the
look OF word. So, you see, thore isn't
any more luck in that than there Is In
most other things in the world.
That's the physiological explanation
OF the matter, and no doubt it's the true
one but 1t isn't half so pretty as that
an old Irish coachman once gave sweet
young girl who found the four parted
leaves everywhere: "0rrah, miss" he
said, you'll find them where non az
the rist af US cud. For wheriver your
swate feet touch the grass, the four-leat
clover springs up to kiss thin, and so
ye'll always fin thim."
To go back to the training OF the eye
required to find the four-leaf clover, do
people ever suspect we wonder, that
that is the only trick In Learning TO
speil I? Tho education is OF the eye and
not of the mind. An accurate spell
or is simply pcrson whose eyes
can be trusted to take an aeeu-
rate photograph OF the appearance of
the word, and to recall that appearance
of that word in the mind at will, as he
recalls the face Of an absent friend.
The eyes spell. not the mind.
And the exactness with which the
eye reproduces depends upon tho keen
ness with which 1t has bcen trained to
observe. Is, then, the drlll OF tho old
spelling book, with its droni-g Of alb.
alb, b-e-y, abbey, all for naught? Not
OF all. because the ability - reproduce
through sound an idea that has been
gained by sight necessiiatos accurate
observation in the first place and is ex-
celent discipline for the power concen-
tration in tho second placs.-N Y.

A LEVEL HEAD.
The Advantage of Presence of Mind in
an Emergency,

|
During the late strike on the New
York Central Railroad, the militia
were ordered to be in readiness in case
of riot, but they were not called out.
In an interview, Gov. Hill said the
troops were not to be called upon ex-
cept in case of an emergency. The
emergency had not arisen, therefore
they would not be ordered out. He
remarked that this was the first great
strike with which he had had expert
ence, and he did not propose to lose
his head the only point at which there
had been serious trouble was at Syra-
cuse, and there n deputy-sheriif had
lost his head and precipitated an en-
, counter. r.
The strike continued several weeks,
and there was riotous action at several
points along the road, but the civil
authorities were able to cope with it
without calling ON the militia.
The test of n mans real ability
comes when an emergency arises
which makes hasty call on his good
judgment and discretion. The man
who retains his presence of mind,
maintains his equipoise and exercises
sound discretion at such critical juno
lures, is to be relied ON aud will be
put to the front.
Men with level heads have the stay,
ing qualities which do not falter in
the face of danger Otis A Cole, Of
Kinsman, o., June 10, 1890, writes.
''1n the fall of 1888 | was feeling very
ill. consulted a doctor and he said
| kad Brights disease of the kidneys
and that he would not stand in my
shoes for the State of Ohio But he
did not lose courage or give up; he
says: 81 saw the testimonial OF Mr..
John Coleman, 100 Gregory street,
New Haven, Conn, and | wrote to
him. In due time | received the an
swer, stating that the testimonial that
he gave was genuine and not over
drawn in any particular. took a
good many bottles of Warmers Safe
Cure; have not taken any for one

Gov. Hill is accounted very sue
cessful man; he is cool and calculat-
ing and belongs to the class that do
not lose their heads when emergen-
cies arise

QUEER REASONING.

Decau,o Protection Hurts England Docs II
Necessarily Help Us?
One OF tho favorito methods of the
protectionists is to quote from the En-
glish papers any thing against the
american system OF protection" and
to point to their quotations to prove how
good thing protection" is-England
does not likeit The childlike simplicity
OF these gentlemen in claiming that
because our protection" hurts England
therefore 1t necessarily and infallibly
helps us, is one OF the most delightful
examples of the truth that men are but
children of larger growth. But the
protectlonists bo.d to 1t as bedrock
principle that in trading, the seller al
ways makes proftand tho buyer loses.
True, they do not hold to this as prin-
ciple ruling in domestic trade. As be-
tween Americans they usually admit
that both seller and buyer may mako a
profit by trading.
When you cross salt water they hold
that only the soller can make profit
Hence they snatch up grecdlly all news
from Europe showing that the MoKin'
ley bill is very unpopular across the
sea Mckinley will refer in his speeches
To such news as proving his wisdom in
making the high tariff still higher. The
protectionist papers delight in printing
quotations to the same eifoct
They have had bad luck, however,
with their quotations Some of their
choicest have turned out to DO forgeries.
So great was tholr need in the campaign
Of 1883 OF having certain things said by
certain English papers that somo OF the.r
clubs and comm ttccs wont to flooding
the country with forged quotations
As they attach SO much Importance to
English quotations. hore is ono for
them. THIS isfrom the London Public
Opinion. The editor. in giving IN ac-
