WHEN everybody ate from pewter
platters common plain white crock
cry was luxury. Now it Is a nee
essarY of life. And yet there is a
duty of 80 pei cent on the commonest
imported white plates, cups and saul
GERS and other table ware. Ii the
crockery is decorated it is taxed GO
per cent. In other words, the price
of the goods is increased over one
half by the tariff. If there were no
tax the price ofwhat now costs Sl.55
to SLIGO would be only 81. The far
mer's wife who buys S5worth of M
ported crockery pays a tax Of at
least S1.75 to the government. If
the crockery is made IN this country
she pays something, and probably
about the same amount, to the home
manufacturer. The domestic pro-
ductIon is about $40, 100000 worth
a year. Tho importations of earthen,
stone and china ware in 1888
amounted to Sc, ,2S5, sos, on which
the duty paid was 5000, ,026. If
the price of the domestic output was
correspondingly increased, then at
the very lowest calculation, the coun-
try pays a tax of at least $1,000, 900
per annum for the privilege of using
crockery. This Is S600,000 more
than the total capital invested in the
domestic industry IN 1880, and owe r
twice as much as was paid in wages.

YOU surely do not believe brother
farmer, that a grocery firm In anoth-
er state can send men among you,
pay them big salaries, big hotel bills,
livery stable bills, ETC., and then sell
you groceries cheaper than your
home merchants-you surely don't
believe this, do you, brother farmer! !!
On the other hand, brother farmers,
do you suppose that your home mer-
chants Will sit idly by wearing out
the seat of their trousers charging
up the goods that you bought of
him on credit, while you send your
casb--every blessed cent that you
can scrape together-a@ay to fill the
Golfers of some one in another state,
who, perhaps, will enjoy your disap-
pointment and chsgrin. Is it good ptl
icy and good financeering to send
your money away to those who never
buy a cents worth of you? Suppose
your home merchants refuse 10 buy
the products of your farm, where
would be? If you patronize those
in other states to the neglect of the
ones at home, DO you expect them
to continue ia business so as to buy
your farm products? These cues
tlons, roughly dressed as they may
appear, are worthy of your consid-
Grafton, and allow US to impress up
on your minds that it is better for
you to patronize home though you
pay little more for your goods,
than to send your money away to en-
rich others and make hard times per-
petual in your own locallty.-Ec.

A SWEDISH servant maid, findiHg
her mistress was troubled with sleep
lessness, told her of a practice OF
the people of her country who are
similarly afflicted. 1t was TO take
4 napkin, dip it liz ice cold water,
wiring 1t slightly and lay 1t across
her eyes The plan was followed
and it worked like a charm. The
first night the lady slept four hours
without awaking-something she had
not done for several months. AT the
end of that time the napkin had be-
come dry. By nettlng it again she
at ence went to sleep, and it requir-
ed considerable force to arouse her
in the morning.

False TO their Promises.

Afte. promising the old soIsliers
service pension from every rostrum
IN the land and through their press
IN the last presidential campaign,
the Republican leaders have now
found out that they are not just now
in need of the soldier vote and pro-
pose to give them the cold shoulder.
In an editorial on 1.-The Pension
Situation" the Globe Democrat says:
It's evident that If there is to be
any pension legislation at this ses-
sion of congress, the house will have
to recede in some degree from the
position which it has assumed. The
senate will not accept the idea of the
Morrill, bill, even IN q modified way.
1t is pledged to the theory of grant
ing pensions only in cases OF neces-
sity, and the reasons in favor of such
view are too forcibie to be put
aside by any argument of duty to
the soldiers. 1t is idle to say that
money should be voted for pensions
regardless of the interests Of other
classes of citizens. The veterans
claim to relief when he is disabled or
dependent may lie said to have sur
passing weight; but the question OF
giving money to a man who does not
really need it is very different one.
1t is proper for the government to
keep old soldiers out of the poor
houses, and to assist the helpless
widows and children Of those who
have died; but when it's asked to
pension those who are able to sup
port themselves the country has
right to insist that SUCH an expense
shall not be incurred in the present
co oldition of the national finances.

What the Money Kings Think
of the F. 81. b.

The following was handed us by
4 prominent member of the Farmers
and Laborers' union of this county
with q request to publish it:
ED. JoURNAL OF AGRICULTURE:
Having been reader of your pa
per for some time l see that there IS
more fools IN Missouri, than one
would suppose. The idea that the
common herd of this country can run
the government Is prepcsterous in
the extreme. Just think of common
people running this country; if the
+. & l.. L. Is q fair sample Of the
government, they have, l think, the
most absurd idea of government that
1t is possible for the mind of man to
think of. Now, Mr.. Editor, L will
tell you that the rich has right to
1ule this country, and they will rule
1T in spite of your labor organlza-
tions. The idea of common herd
owning and controlling the land OF
this country. They (the laborers)
only have sense enough to work.
A great many do not know how to
work as they should. They (the
laboring poeple) must have some one
to manage labor and do their buSi-
ness and do their thinking, because
they are not capable of doing their
own thinking nor of transactIng their
own business in an intelligent man.
ner for their own interest. 1t is we'll
therefore, We have men of wealth
and brains TO do business for them
(and this is as it should be). Now
( wish to state here In the language
of Jay Cook, the time is come that
the laboring man of this country
must not think himself so much bet
ter than the European laborer, that
he must have so much greater pay
for the same work. The American
laborer is no better than his foreign
brother, that he must have better
pay, better clothes, better grub and
better houses to live in than his
brother laborer in other countries.
The time has come that we must have
a system of landlords and tenants
like they have in the older countries.
And 1 will say just here that we
now have a system at last in this
country that will bring about the
above results, Notwithstanding all
the labor organizations IN the land,
for the wealth of this country is so
consolidated that it cannot be shaken
by the foolish rantlng of the labor
organization all combining.
This would be pretty govern
ment If all the wealth and brains of
this country had to submit to the
dictates of the common herd of la
borers of this country. Wealth
must and wealth will rule this nation.

South Americas Early Progress,

The civilization of Peru began about
the same time as that of Mexico, about
300 years prior to the landing of Column
bus. 1t is attributed to Manic, the first
Peruvian king of the Incas line, who es-
tablished the empire on firm basis. He
connected the country by number Of
straight roads, often 100 miles in extent,
and all connected with the capital.
Along these roads were placed houses
of repose and entertainment for the
kings runners. Agriculture received
much attention, and, on account of the
scarcity of rain prevalent in that region.
the fields were watered by canals led in
from rivers and lakes. The people cult
waited maize, potatoes, and cotton, and
had quite an extensive commerce.
The religious character of the ancient
Peruvians is an interesting study. They
were much more developed in this re-
spect than their southern neighbors, and
while the worship of the sun seems "a
have been the religion of the people, their
priests seem to have held the higher be-
lief of a personal God, creator of the sun
and other heavenly bodies.
Human sacrifices were almost I'M
known in Peru, and cannibalism is never
found Picture writing was used to a
great extent, and record of time was
kept by system of knotted strings.
They had quite developed in poetry, and
we have still some thirty or forty of their
songs, which were mainly upon their af-
fectiOnS..

West African Spiritual Beliefs.

S~-SS SO lIOpuiaI OCicuce mOnLnly.l E1AA~
By all the tribes Of these three linguaI
groups the indwelling spirit is believed
10 afford some protection to man. 1t re.
ceives occasional thank offerings, and
the anniversary Of each individuals day
OF birth is held as a day sacred to the
spiritual tenant. On this account the
kra may be regarded in some resnects
as a guardian spirit, dwelling in the
body Of the man; but it is more than
that. Its close connection with the man
himself is indicated by the fact Of its
nocturnal adventures during its alb
sence from the body being remem-
bered by the man when he awakes.
The latter even feels physically the eff
fects of his kra's actions; and when the
negro awakes from sleep feeling stiff and
unrefreshed, or with limbs aching from
muscular rheumatism, he invariably at
tributes these symptoms to the fact of
his kra having been engaged in some
struggle or some severe toll. If, more
over, a man dreams Of other men, he
believes that his kra has met theirs; con-
sequently the kra is held to have the out
ward appearance of the man whose body
he tenants. Hence the kra is more than
mere tenanting or guardian spirit. He
has, though doubtless only in q shadow
form, the very shape and appearance of
the man; and both the mind and body of
the latter are affected by and register the
results of the kra's actions
