What can the Government do for
the farmers? We should say decidedly
that there is not great deal the
Government can do for the farmers,
and that it ought to do for any class
or occupation. The business of the
Government is to maintain peace and
order, to protect person and property,
and to defend the nation against fore
ign aggression. There is not much
beyoud that that lies within the proper
scope of Government.
But there are two things within the
power of the Federal Government that
would be of immense benefit 70 the
country as a whole and to the farmers
in particular. These two things are
the reduction in Federal taxation and
the securing of wider markets for our
produce. The greater part of the tax
alton imposed by Federal laws never
goes near the Treasury. When Mr..
Mckinley advances the duty on win
dow glass the American manufacturers
meet in Pittsburg and chalk up their
prices, or they stop their furnaces for
three months In order to bring about
scarcity. Every man who buys Amer
ican glass pays a tax on it just as truly
as though he bought imported glass,
but it doesn't 60 to the Government.
1t goes to manufactuI ers, who, on ac-
count of the great profits in the business
are increasing their plants, according
TO Quay's and Bayne's friend james
Campbell, so rapidly that they cannot
get glassblowers enough in this country
and have to import them, in violation
of law, from Europe. A decrease OF
Federal taxation that would reduce the
revenues $4,000, 900, would reduce the
burden on the tax payer vastly more
it might be 5000, 100000, or 1t might
be $SO0,0O0,000,aud the reduction
could be made 30 that it would be a
positive boon to the m anafaot Iring in
terests themselves.
The other measure is the opening of
new markets for our produce. The
people of Europe who need cheap
American food are keeping up a con-
slant agitation against the tariffs of
their own governments upon our bread
stuffs and provisions. These tariffs
are maintained by nearly all the nations
of continental Europe for protective
reasons, for what Republicans call the
"Americsn" system, is, as Dnniel Web
ster told Henry Clay, an importation
from Europe. Some tariff concessions
on our part would undoubtedly secure
large concessions from France aud
Germany because our interests are the
interests of large portions OF the
French and German people. But ouI
discrimination against Mexican silver
lead ore has already led Mexico to put
a probibitory putty on the corn Kansas
has been exporting to our sister repub-
lie, end the Mckinley bill has started
a movement in France. Holland and
Germany inimical to the import oi
food from this country.
The interest of the farmer is reduced
taxation and increased markets fol
farm produce, the policy of the McKin
ley bill is increased taxation and re
duced markets.

The young German Emperor, for
adventure, recently donned the uniform
of private soldier, shouldered a rifle
and took turn at guard duty in the
place grounds. When his escapade
became known his iDtimates asked him
what he thought about as he paced

SOMETHING THAT MAY ACCOUNT FOR MYs-
TERIoUs BOILER EXPLOSIONS.

Mr.. +. e. Fowler, of Bridgeport,
Conn, addressed society of engineers
recently respecting his discovery of a
property of steam which, under some
circumstances, will cause an instantaue-
GUS doubling of boiler pressure without
the application of more heat. His claims
were demonstrated BY small boiler,
IN which the pressure was raised to
forty pounds, and after being removed
from the fire suddenly thrown to eighty
pounds. In another experiment the
pressure was raised in an instant from
so pounds to 100. 1t was claimed
that this property accounted for many
so-called mysterious boiler explosions
or those which withstood the inspect
or's test and then exploaded at lower
pressure. 1t was shown how this
property could be readily removed from
the boiler, and the same was demon
strated by successful experiments.

THEY OBJECT TO THE GROWING SECULAR
IZATIoN OF DECORATION DAY.

The Grand Army men of William
sport are opposed to the secularization
of Decoration Day, and at a meeting
adopted resolutions expressive of their
feeling. They say that the practice of
desecrating day which has been re-
coguized by universal consent as sacred
to the memory of those who died that
the nation might live, by the growing
practice of devoting the day to sports
and pastimes, has tendency toward
creating among the young a senti-
ment entirely foreign to the spirit
which actualed the setting apart of
May 80 as sacred to the memory of
the fallen soldiers.
The matter was discussed by the
members of the Memorial Committee,
and the resolution was passed uuani-
mously.
Some of the vetrans express them
selves as of the opinion that the gr ow-
ing habit of devoting the day to base
ball and other sp orts, will in a few
years, virtually destroy the original
idea of its observance.
