Prices for Cane,

1t is understood that the sugarworks
company have about decided on a scale
of prices that will he paid for sorghum
cane grown this season, based Oh the
per cent. Of sucrOse, or sugar, contained
in the cane, according TO test by tbs
government chemist. The richer tht
cane the more ii is worth, of course
The company claim that to pay a uni
form price fdT AL cane is like the miller
paying one price for ali grades of wbeal
OF the merchant selling all his piece
goods at a uniform price without regard
to value. Well-cultivated cane is richer
than that grown among weeds withou'
being plowed. The scale OF prices starts
with cane that shows per cent. of su
crose--the company will not handle any
poorel-and runs to - per cent For
cane showing 8 per cent. of sweetness.

Protecting Farmers.

If our protection friends would make
little investigation they would find
that last harvest the Kansas farmer had
to pay 500 for the same amount of bind
ing Irvine that the farmers over in Can
ada bought for about $500 after the
freight was added to get it across the
line into Canada, but that was in the
interest of home market and Ameri
can labor.
If a farmer wanted to buy So pillow
and $23 cultivator to SOW 1O-cent CORE
and S2S set of harness and a S65 wagon
to haul the corn to market, and then
buy binder for S165 to harvest 5O-cent
wheat on a mOrtgaged farm, he would
have to pay about 500 for the satisfac-
ton of being protected by war tariff
over twenty years after the war closed.
Wonder if the Kansas farmer ever stop
ped to figure On the tariff on the follow
ing items that farmers use more or less:
nails, S1.35 per hundred pounds; bar
bed wire, go cents per hundred pounds !;
copper, $3.50 per hundred pounds lead.
$1.50per hundred pounds; iron nuts and
washers, 50 per hundred pounds; zinc.
$3.50 per hundred pounds. Does the
tariff on any of the above items add
anything to the price of corn, wheat
cattle, hogs, or anything the farmer has
to sell ? If he has to build a house does
the SIPS on nails benefit him any, OF
would he not be SIPS ahead if that tar
if was taken off? He would save the
price of about 10 bushels of corn on
keg of nails. Still there are men who
will claim that tariff is not tax and
continue to preach protection and a
home DIarket. MECHANIC.

Hazelton Happenings.

The pupils and teachers of the Hazel
ton school are raising money to put a
flag on the school building, and this
leads us to make remark regarding
the school. The teachers registers
show that but few persons ever visit
the school to satisfy themselves as to
the way their children are being edu-
Gated. We will venture the assertion
that there is not man in Hazelton but
who, ii he had a man employed to feed
a lot of cattle or hogs, would make it a
point to visit the stock every few days,
to see that they were having the proper
care, regardless of the confidence he
might have in his emplOye; and is it
not of much more Importance to visit
the school, to satisfy ourselves, from
our children are being educated for the
important esponsibilities of citizen
ship, than it is to look after the fatten.
ing of cattle and hogs 2. Here are
some facts as to the liberality of the
people in Hazelton. During last year
there was raised for various church
purposes. by the NJ. E. church, nearly
81 200 in cash, besides a subscription.
due next fall, of nearly 81 800; and
there are two other church societies
that have paid their ministers literally.
