A Letter From MIR. Geer.

To the Editor OF The Capital JournaL
MACLEAY, Apr, IA free trade
correspondent of your paper pro-
pounds the following conundrum,
"How does n protective tariff raise
and maintain the wages Of the
labonrgn
Answer; or course ifa tariff OF
AZ per cent enhances the cost of a
manufactured article the entire AZ
per cent, ~ all democrats claim,
then 1t OF course enables the manu-.
faeturer 10 pay his operatives AZ per
cent higher wages than he could
do under free trade.
There can be no doubt that he
would eheerfully increase his labor
er's wages out OF sheer good will
toward them, because the demo
crats assure Us that II we put wool

them the raw material so cheap
that they can afford TO pay the wool
growers a higher price for their
wool, and thus guarantee u high
price for the cheap raw material.
This is the democratic position
fairly stated, and If protection adds
AZ per cent to the ability of the
manufactures to pay higher wages,
of course the same humanitarian
principle that impels him to volun-
tarily pay high price for cheap
wool Will prompt him to more
literally reward his operatives.
I am surprised that such Il con-
nundrum should come from n demo-
crat.
Now, 1 desire to briefly notice
John p. Robertson's article concern
ing the "original greenbaclI idea"
He proposes that the government is
sue money directly to the people,
said money to be based in the credit
and property Of the nation.
All governments are burdens,
more or less, to the people living un-
der them, but the modern green
hacker regards the people as being
a burden to the government. The
fact is that the people have to sup
ply money to the government, but
the modern greenbacker hugs the
delusion that the government should
supply money to the people.
No government ever issued dol
lar of redeemable paper money with
out increasing its Indebtedness to
the amount of that dollar, just the
same as when farmer issues n note
for $1,000 based on his "credit aud
property" he simply increases his
Indebtedness to that amount.
The "original greenback idea" to
which you say the republican party
is still committed" was forced up
on 1t by the exigencies of war. The
government created all its indebted
ness by the issuance of different
forms of paper money, and it cannot
issue such money now TO the people
without creating an Indebtedness
that the people would in time have
to pay.
"The original greenback idea" Is
as dead as Julius Ceaser and any
party that is Committed" to it
should be speedily COMMITTED" to
some refuge for the insane.
The government cannot any more
than an individual, issue n million
dollars In paper money without in
curing an Indebtedness equal to
that amount, and when II issues the
dollars ITO the people," the
people turn around and pay the
debt!
Surely, the man who lifted HIM
self over Presbyterian church
steeple by his own boot straps was
a man who still clings to the "origi-
nal greenback idea"

Battle With a Cougar.


Mr.. VIM. Jefferd, who lives on
Strawberry creek, brought some
cougar scalps to town Tuesday,
which he exchanged for county
script, and related to the Grant
county News man the story of the
capture of three Of them. Dick
Johnson had a fight with them
when they killed his dog, and the
following day Mr.. Jetlerd, Ralph
Fisk, Bart Hartman and Mr.. John
sou started out on snowshoes to
hunt the fierce wild beasts, and
about noon succeeded In killing oce,
and two more that were seen
made their escape. The boys stop
ped under pine tree to eat their
lunch and We're sitting talking
when down jumped large cougar,
and investigation revealed another
one up the tree. War was at once de-
clared and both the animals were
shot and their scalps carried away as
$40 remembances of the hattie. The
tree was Of thick foliage, and the
cougars had been crouched within
few feet of Fisk's snow-shoes which
he had leaned against the tree, aud
The guns Of the hunters were also

BOUTH'S REBUKE.
Two silly AetOr-Admirers Get Some
Good Advice.


Good Advice.
The other morning Edwin Booth
was very much startled when a
waiter at the Mount Vernon hotel
brought two cards to his room bear
Ing the names of two ladies un-
known to him. The waiter said the
ladies were pretty and were waiting
In the parlor. In few minutes
Booth made his appearance in the
parlor, and much to his surprise he
found two young and very pretty
society girls, one of whom was
debutante last season. They inform
ed him they had attended every per-
fOrmance since his arrival In Balti-
more, and had become 40 fascinated
with HIM that they had decided to
call. For a few minutes Booth said
nothing. First he looked at their
cards, which he still held in his
hand, and then at the girls, who
blushed and became very much con-
fused. At last the silence was
broken.
"Young ladies'" said Booth, "I
happen 10 know the names on these
cards are assumed, and If / only
knew your real names Ishould most
certainly inform your parents what
you have done. Now, take my ad-
vice, go home, and don't ever run to
see an actor again, for the next in
terview might not be so pleasant"
The young ladies departed, and
have been very much alarmed ever
since lest their parents should find
them out.-Baltimofe American.

the principle of ''bs sure you're right,
then go ahead. -
For our own part, we feel entirely
satisfied that the various sections of
Texas ought to, at the earliest possible
time, make careful study of this sugar
beet question. 1t is now too late to do
much for the present season in the way of
experimentation, but it is not too late to
think the matter over, arrange for seed
and get ready tor tests to be made next
year. The Colorado experiment station
has issued q bulletin on beet culture (bul-
letin No. I'D which contains much useful
information on that direction. The
United States department of agriculture
has lately sent out bulletin treating on
the same subject. According to the
Colorado bulletin, a land inclined to
sandy suits the beet best. The depart
ment of agriculture bulletin says 'the
soil should be well drained and with q
good exposure to the light. 1t should be
of loose texture, easily pulverized and of
average fertility There are plenty of
lands in Texas that would fill either of
these bills to perfection. The Colorado
bulletin says the climate also has much
to do in the success of the crop. The
spring should be warm and not excess
sively wet; the fall should be more in
clined to dry, as "'the formation of
sugar is favored by dry weather and an
unclouded sky in autumn This fits
most portions of Texas as well as any
thing could fit. The cultivation recom-
mended by both bulletins may be summed
up as follows:
l. Prepare deep and well-pulverized
seeded
.. Where fertilizers are necessary do
not use fresh barnyard manure immedi-
ately before planting. II fertilizers are
employed, superphosphates of lime, con-
tanning from 10 to Is per cent. of avail
able phosphoric id, may be used at the
rate of 250 to 300 pounds per acre. The
fertilizers may be sown broadcast or
drilled in the rows, and best at the time
of planting.
3. Sow in drills about eighteen to
twenty inches apart, SO as to admit of
horse culture between the rows, using
from seven TO eight pounds of good seed
per acre.
I. It is best to have the beets Guilt
waited fiat and not planted in ridges. Any
method of cultivation which will keep
out the weeds and keep the ground
thoroughly stirred will be sufficient.
5. When ell up thin so that there
shall be one thrifty plant every six or
eight inches (some say ten to twelve)
and take care not TO injure the plants in
this process.
s. In cultivation take care to pre-
serve the leaves and throw some earth
TO the plants each time. The portion of
the beet which grows above ground does
not contain much sugar.
Z. Harvest when ripe and preserve
free from frost
Sugar beet seed for test may be had in
small packages free by addressing the
secretary of agriculture, Washington,

The Hog in TexRs.

Texas Farm and Ranch says the bog
with the small head is coming to stay il
the Lone Star state. There Is az un-
preoedented demand for fine stock and
determination on the part of farmers to
Improve their herds. The rural cir Is
tremulous with hog talk. There will be
more hogs slaughtered in Texas the CON-
ing winter than ever before, and in pro-
portion to population less bacon brought
here from the West. This means tnat
nice sum of cotton money will stay 8!
home, TO add to the comforts of civilza-
ton. Next winter there Will be largely
more homemade bacon, and as the
principle involved spreads to other art-
cles of consumption, the country Will De-
come still more prosperous than
now is.
