How Money Rules.

The dangerous element in American
politics Is the money power. We alb
sorb the foreigner, we suppress the An
archist. Ignorance is enlightned in our
public schools, but the corrupting influ.
ence of money Is threatning the integ-
rity of the Republic and demoralizing
the character of the people.
In his speech before the Boston Re-
form Club Mr.. Schurz touched with his
eonsumate art the raw spot in our body
polite. "No people,n he said, "gov-
erning themselves by universal suffer-
age can have series of general cleo
tions, the stake In which consists in
scores upon scores of millions of gain
for strong money power, without be-
ing utterly demoralized and corrupted
IN their political life."
It is one of the gravest features of the
present struggle for the control of the
Federal House of Representatives that
the truth of this proposition is already
demonstrated in the United States.
The leading issue In the pending con-
test is the new tariff law. 1t is law,
as Mr.. Schurz said, constructed by the
lobby on the principles of log-rolling.
The Senators and Representatives Of
the people turned over to the greedy
and irresponsible lobby their legislative
functions. This lobby represented the
money power whose gains are at stake
at every general election.
The Republican leaders have defin-
disagreement with q plutocracy, in
pursuance of which the people are tax
ed and the prices of the necessaries of
life are increased for the benefit of fav-
cred manufacturers in consideration of
the contribution by the latter of cam
paign funds to corrupt the people with
the money thus extorted from them.
1t is in this way that scores upon
scores Of millions Of gain for strong
money power are at stake in this cleo
zion. The Republican party has car.
Tied out its part of the agreement, and
there are abundant indications that
the beneficiaries of the tariff are doing
their part. The struggle is between
money and popular government. 1t is
o serious crisis. The party in power is
selling legislation for bribe money. AS
Mr.. Schurz said: ut is high time that
every American who loves his country
should open his eyes to this incontesta.
Bile truth. Here, indeed, is the greatest
evil brought upon US by our high-tariff
policy, and nothing can cure it but the
removal Of that stake from our cleo
ti0ns. IN Y World.

READ TEgS TWICE!

The only Protection that will effect
ually protect all people, all classes, all
labor and all interests is that styled
SELF Protection acquired only from
truthful knowledge of ways and
means, legal and Illegal, just and I'M
just, by which the burdens of govern
ment, profits of labor and industry, are
so unequally divided.
That knowledge is power, and ignor
ance its slave, is forcibly illustrated
daily in all walks of life, among all
people, in all countries.
Where knowledge is used as power
or a means for gaining wealth without
labor or an equivalent therefor, it be-
comes necessary to deceive or keep in
ignorance of such methods those from
whom the wealth is taken; hence it is
that of the ten thousand newspapers
printed in the United States, less than
ten are absolutely free and independent
of the power or control of some class,
party or monopoly whose interest it is
to keep the great mass of people in
ignorance Of their methods.
The Cincinnati Weekly Eaquirer is
one of the few, if not the only one,
absolutely free from such influences.
1t is the most honest, thorough, able
teacher and exponent of truthful
knowledge, of reliable data, free from
partisan bias, fair, frank and explicit
to such degree that one cannot but feel
edited and capable of forming correct
conclusions therefrom. Such paper
should be in every household. Sample
copies can be obtained by addressing

TRICKS IN SMUGGLING.
A Diamond Ring in His Pipe-Bowl
In the Hollow of Boot Heel.

A Diamond Ring in His Pipe-Bowl
In the Hollow of Boot Heel.
One of the smartest bits of smuggling
/ know of occurred when one Of the
largest diamond rings in the country
owned at present by one of our leading
families-was brought in duty free.
Here is the scheme: Among the steer
age passengers was respectable looking
workman with a large Dutch pipe.
Just as he approached Castle Garden he
wrapped the diamond in a thin piece
of paper, put it in the bowl of his pipe,
then filled it up with tobacco. When
he landed, and while the inspectors
were sitting his few worldly possessions
the immigrant was making various fri-
tile attempts 70 light his pipe, but just
when about to do so he would make
some remark to the inspectors and the
match would go out. In a short time
he was In an East Side hotel, luggage
and all, whence he was soon transferred
to one Of the city's aristocratic abodes.
The latest diamond trick is this: Cut
the buttons off year overcoar, dlace the
unset stones inside the top of the but
ton, cover with cloth and sew them on
afresh. The scheme pays for the trou-
BILE, and goes triumphantly.

hollow heels on a lady's shoes contain

THE NORTHWEST
FARM AND GARDEN.
RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS IN
SCIENTIFIC FARMING.
Made at the Ohio Agricultural Exper-
iment station-The Cabbage Aphis
and It's History-Waterins
Milk for Cream Rails


Next to the cabbage worm the worst
insect enemy Of the cabbage Is the
aphis. or plant-louse, which Is 30 often
found upon the leaves and In the heads
in great numbers. This Is q small,
blush, white insect, that subsists upon
the sap of the plant, and multiplles
with great rapidity. Like most of the
peculiar family TO which II belongs,
this insect has the power, not common
among insects, of bringing forth living
young, but with most of those that
have been carefully studied there is in
the fall q sexual generation by which
the true eggs are laid, and in this egg
state most of them pass the winter.
But although the cabbage aphis has
been known both In Europe and Amer
lea for more than century, the sexual
generation has never heretofore been
found, and eutomologists did not know
when or where the eggs were laid, nor
how the insect passed the winter. Re
cent investigations, however, carried
on at the Ohio Experiment Station by
DR.. G. M. Werd, has shown conclusive
ly that the sexual generation develop
late In autumn on the cabbage, and
that the eggs are laid on the cabbage
leaves. The true male is a small wing
ed creature, with more slender body
than the other winged forms. The egg
laying female has no wings and is pale
green in color.
This discovery Of the fact that the
insect passes the winter In the eggs tate
on the cabbage leaves has an important
economic bearing. It suggests as one
Of the best ways Of preventing the in
juries of this pest, the destruction dur
ing winter of the old cabbage leaves
with the eggs upon them, instead of
leaving them undisturbed until spring,
as Is too often done.
WATERING MILK FOR CREAM RAISING.
The Cornell university experiment
station has made series of expert
ments in setting milk for cream raising
by different methods, the result OF
which, as summarized in bulletin No.
20 of that station, are as follows:
In eleven trials where the milk was
set In the Cooley creamer with ice wat
er, at a temperature of A degrees, the
average per cent. Of fat in the skim
milk was .23.
In eleven trials where milk was di-.
uted with an equal weight of cold wat
er and set in the open air, the average
per cent. of fat in the skim milk was
1888.
In six trials where milk was diluted
with 20 and so per cent. of cold water,
the average per cent. of fat in the skim
milk was "a
In ten trials where milk was diluted
with 10 to 100 per cent. of its weight of
hot water, the average per cent. of fat
in the skim milk was Ill
In two trials where milk was set in
deep cans without dilution, in running
water at go to 63 degrees, the average
per cent. of fat in the skim milk was
80.
In two trials where milk was set In
shallow cans, at go and GA degrees, the
average per cent. of fat in the skim milk
was 4S.
In one trial where milk was set in

The Three Principal Ingredients fan
Article Sold for Coffee,

COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 12.-Prof. We
ber, state chemist, has completed the
analysis of a sample of ground coffee
submitted to him by Mr.. Bethel, state
dairy and food commissioner. The cof-
fee was obtained from the Union Pacif-
ic Tea company and the analysis made
of it shows that it is composed one
third of peas, one-third of chicory and
barley, and one-third of coffee. Com
missioner Bethel will take steps to pre-
vent further sale of the adulterated ar
ticle, which he says comes within the
scope of the recently enacted law to
prevent the adulteration of food and
dairy products. This law provides
that all food and dairy products that
are not pure shall be branded so as to
show the persentage of adulteration
and the quality of the different ingre-
dients. The sample examined was
not marked and was offered for sale as
pure coffee.

growth rustIed and a dark form ap-

the building and fixed big mass of
stuff beneath the sill. Then it struck
a match. I fired. A shot answered
mine and my pistol dropped from my
hand. My arm was broken. Stimuli
