| for guarding our producers against the
surplus product of Europe in periods Of
great depression in prices existing
rates might with safety be very greatly
reduced. Our manufacturers supply
nine-tenths of the domestic consumption
OF all the articles of iron and steel ex'
cent those which have been discrimin-
ated against by legislation. like tin
plate. They supply the cloths to make
clothing of the working men and women
and all the other great classes OF our
community. Our cotton manufacturers
supply the cotton cloths and all other
manufactures of cotton in ordinary use
by our people. This is also true OF all
articles in common use included In all
the schedules. Not only have our own
manufacturers control of the market OF
the United States, but we exported last
wear of tn class of manufactures Sl07,-
600, 900 worth.
Senators upon the other side point out
advances in certain paragraphs and
seek from this to create the impression
that we have made an enormous in
crease all along the line These gener-
alizations are wholly misleading and
inaccurate. They have sought to pref
udice the farmers of the West against
the measure by the pretense that the
articles in everyday use by them will
be greatly increased in price by its pro-
visions. After a few weeks Of expert
ence with this new Tariff act these same
farmers will find that they can purchase
clothing for themselves and their fami-
lies, and their utensils for farming or
domestic purposes, at the same or lower
prices than before, and they will learn
to correctly value the gloomy forebod-
ings and croakings of the whole brood
of tariff reformers would suggest to
my friends upon the other side that
the event is quite too near to make it
safe to enter the realms of dismal
prODhecy.

FARM NOTES.

In order to make geese profitable q
separate place should always be pro-
vided for them.
A couple of farmers out near Clafin,
Kan, have put in little patches" Of
wheat this fall. The one numbers l, 900
acres in his patch. the other $500.
Four hens ought to be kept at an exc
pense not to exceed fifty cents year,
and with any thing like good manage
ment will lay at least ten dozen eggs
1t is far easier to keep up the fertility
than to build up after it has once been
cropped down. and Western farmers
should take warning of the Eastern
farmers on this point
Tom Cooper's wheat on the home
place. four miles north of town made
thirty bushels per acre. These are the
kind of figures that knocks the croaker
out of time -Richfield (Kan.) Monitor.
Few things are handsomer or more
easily raised than tulips. The bulbs
can now be secured at small price and
multiply rapidly. When tulips were
very expensive the greatest care was
taken in preparing the soil, but it is
now we'll known that they will produce
magnificent blooms with only good.
rich soil and fair drainage.
The fowls need good care while molt-
ing. They should be fed regularly and
with good variety of food so as to keep
in a good, thrifty condition. Too much
corn should not be given. as this is
fattening food and it is not desirable to
have them too fat Oats. sorghum seed,
sunflowers and buckwheat are good ma
terials 70 use. Some Oil meal will also
be found beneficial.
Prepare the garden in the fall How
garden looks during the winter than
one covered with dry weeds, vines and
bean and pea poles When we'll cleared
it should be thoroughly MANFRED and
plowed. The manure should be well
rotted in order that the smallest pos
sible number of weed seeds may be dis
tributed for spring growth. Thorough
blowing exposes the soil to the action
Of the frost making it dry and mellow
in the spring.
In raising a diversity of crops and
feeding to variety of stock there is
less waste. and not only can al the vari-
Gus products be used to better advan-
tage, but the stock can be fed at less
cost There is less risk of loss than in
making speciality of any one kind OF
product or one kind of stock It 10

CHICAGO, Oct 22-The Farmers Re.
view to-day says: "a careful examina.
ton of estimates furnished by our cor
respondents reveals the fact that the
; corn crop is turning out somewhat bet
ter than was expected. The crop in
Michigan and Wisconsin is larger than
that of last year, and the returns in
Minnesota and Dakota are almost as
large as in 1889. Other States, how
ever. show considerable shortage This
is most marked in Kansas and Nebraska
where the crop will be less than one
half that of 1889. In several counties
in those States corn is q total failure;
at least it is poor in quality and only fit
for fodder Reports from Illinois, Indi-
ana. Ohio. Kentucky. Missouri and Iowa
state that while the ears are small, ow-
ing to midsummer drought as a rule

Der report of the Department of Agri-
culture the condition of the corn crop
in the remaining States not covered by

that in 1857 the crop in these States

FIRE AT MOBILE.
The Alabama Seaport Ravaged
By Flames.
TWENTY SQUARES BURNED OVER.
No Loss of Life, Though Many Persons
Narrowly Escspe-A Second Fire Alarm
Causes Great Excirement-L0ss,
5000. 900.

MOBILE, Ala, Oct 27.-The most dis
astrous confagration ever known in
this city began about 1880 o'clock yes
terday afternoon in the single mill OF
Stewart & Butt, and owing to the strong
northwest wind prevailing was not
checked until five o'clock in the after
noon, and only then after favorable
change in the wind. The total damage
was 5000. 600.
The scene of the fire was the extreme
northern and of the city, and 5, $50 bales
of cotton, five cotton warehouses. three
cotton congresses, two large cotton seed
oil mills, the big ice factory, the wood
and coal yards, three of the river steam
boats, six wharves, box factory and
Noble Fertilizer Company's works were
destroyed
There was no loss of life although
many of the firemen were overcome
with heat and smoke and many narrow
escapes from falling walls occurred.
The paid fire department fought man
fully and were assisted by many old
volunteer firemen in the face of smoke
and flame. At SIX o'clock the fire was
we'll under control and no fears were
entertained for its spread any further.
The alarm for the fire at Ste wart & Butts
mill had scarcely come in when second
alarm was sounded for the burning of
the residence of Mosely F. Tucker. on
Dauphin near Broad, which was COM
pletely burned, only small quantity Of
furniture being saved. The residence
adjoining it. belonging to Mrs. Ed Har-
rington. caught from fuckers and was
also destroyed
The two alarms being followed by a
general alarm caused the greatest ex-
element among all classes, and in their
excitement people rushed from one fire
to the other. Soon the report was
spread that the entire business portion
of the city was in danger and thousands
of men. women ana children rushed to
the scene. No one felt safe even in the
business section of the city, and wagons.
drays and all kinds of vehicles were
engaged in carrying away valuable
books and papers
More than twenty squares were
burned. bounded by Beauregard, Mag
nolia and St Louis streets and the
RIVER. The loss is now estimated at
5000. 900, with about $500, 900 insurance.
The tracks of all railroads centering
here have been DISTRACTED by the debris
in the burned district

Notes.

Growing and selling grain and hay
from the farm is slowly selling the fer
tility. The effect may not be noticeable
at first but it is being done just the
same, and it is only question Of time.
1t is far easier to keep up the fertility
by mixed farming than to build it up by
any system OF management after it has
been cropped down.
A report recently published shows
that there are now 4 290. 600 cows In
Germany. OF this number 800. 600 ara

THE PROTECTED INDUSTRIES.

All Trades Moro or Loss Effected By Pro.
tective Tariff
The industry and adroitness of those
who have underta zen to force upon the
United States the Br fish system of free
foreign trade are worthy OF a better
cause. A favorite practice of these men
has been pointing to certain trades not
exposed to foreign competition. and cit
ing the comparatively high wages paid
in them as an argument for withdraw
ing protection from all industries
While it is true that wages paid to
carpenters. masons, painters, black
smiths. ETC., are high as, and in many
instances higher than, wages paid to
workmen in a majority of the manu-
featuring industries, the deception prac-
ticed by free traders lies in their ella m
that the class of mechanics named are
not enumerated in tariff laws The
fact is, they are protected by natural
conditions stronger than any law of
Congress- and it is in consequence Of
this absolute protection that they are
enabled to demand and secure better
pay. Bricklaying, carpentry. house,
painting and tim ng can not be done in
here ready for occupancy. Nobody
knows this better than the free trade
attorneys else they would be found
quite as strenuous for free houses as
they are now for free ships, free wool
and free lumber. The blacksmith is
absolutely protected by the conditions
which render it impossible for the
farmer to send his horse abroad to be
shod. or his wagon or pillow to DO re-
paired, otherwise the vigilant free trade
advocate would not long permit his pro-
lection to stand unassailed.
However adequately defended against
foreign competition in these particular
lines of work they may be, the class of
mechanics referred to cannot afford to
overlook the Importance to themselves
of securing adequate protection to all
other industries. Every man in the
country kept steadily and contentedly
employed in some other industry lessons
the danger from overcrowding in the
naturally protected trades Every dol
lar kept in the country, which under a
free trade policy would go abroad, en-
ables somebody to spend that much
more money, which may go into build
ing or repairing houses, shoeing horses.
or some other work necessarily done by
mechanics at or near home These in
turn will have the additional dollar to
pay the farmer for bread, the gardener
for fruit or vegetables, or to otherwise
spend for family com fort or convenience.
Thus it is that the maintenance of our
protective policy appeals directly to
those voters whom the promoters of free
trade are seeking to enlist in their work
of repeating existing tariff laws with a
view to replacing them with laws die
tated in the interest Of foreigners at
once envious of our growing wealth and
jealous of our greatness among the ma
tons of the earth. Our workingmen. of
all others, should avoid becoming sup
porters of free trade through either the
fattery or deception of its advocates

They tear the paper into very small
