MKINLEY AND APPLES.
AMUSING ILLUSTRATION OF A SELF
DEFEATING PROTECTION.

II New York Has Very Big Crop the
Duty Cuss No Figure. If a Small Crop
the Farmers Gain neutrality-suspicious.
Idle, and why.
Some of the apple growers of Wayne
county, N, Y, the greatest apple county
in the United States, are wondering how
the Mckinley tariff on apples is going
to benefit them. They have given the
tariff two trials-one with a poor, the
other with good, crop. Last year they
had no crop at all in WAYNE county,
and Of course were not benefited by the
duty of twenty-five cents per bushel
Not only did it not protect the farmers,
but in many ways it injured them.
1t is estimated that nearly 200 apple
growers in the county have evaporators
Many of them would have imported ap-
pies from across Lake Ontario, where
there was fair crop, and kept their
eyaporators busy, incidently giving
work to American labor, which, in the
vicinity of Wayne county, was then
sadly in need Of employment. The Nc
Kinley tariff ripened few weeks ahead
Of the Canadian apples, and shut off any
gains to the county from this source. As
q consequence some of the proprietors of
large evaporators moved their outfits
into Canada to give employment to for
eign labor. Others moved to Michigan
and operated evaporators- there.
Wayne county has several large cam
ming factories. One Of these would have
bought 5000 bushels of apples in Canada
last year. The canning of these would
have given employment to many needy
families, and the product would have
supplied many poor people with cheap
food. Mckinley said, No; it is not
good for Americans to eat the pauper
fruit of Canada" And TO help enforce his
edict he caused the price of two pound
tin cans to be increased about three
ffths of a cent. The result was that
this same company canned apples in a
Canadian factory, and to make up some
of the $4,000 loss, because of the in
creased cost of cans, cut down the wages
of part of their employees, canning
other fruits in Wayne county, from one
dollar to eighty cents per day.
This year, with good crop of apples,
we will, as usual, export several million
dollars worth and import none, compar-
atively. Nor have we in good years
ever imported many, though apples have
heretofore been ON the free list. CT
course, if there were no imports TO COM
pete with American apples, the tariff is
useless and in no way helps the Ame9 :
can apple grower. If the Mckinley bill,
then, Injuries the growers when they
have poor crop and does them no good
when they have good crop, how in the
world is it going TO help them?

Shot Silk and Lace Gowns.

Among new dresses some of the prettiest
are of black net in basket pattern made
over shot silk. a new feature in these
dresses is the bell skirt of shot silk covered
smoothly with net cut precisely as the silk
Is shaped, then finished at the foot by
deep tiounce of black lace bordered with
the flower basket design. A stylish ex-
ample Is of pink and yellow changeable
silk, and another is of pale blue shot with
gold. The silk skirt is simply lining for
the lace, and is faced deeply with black
silk, then worn over separate petticoat
of black taffeta silk, with pinked flounces.
The lace tlounce on the net skirt has an
upright ruffle as heading, with rosettes at
intervals upon it. The round bodice is of
the silk covered with net put on smoothly
about the shoulders, shirred at the waist
line, and finished with hounce of lace
like that on the skirt. Sleeves of the plain
silk are studded with jet nail heads, and
have lace ruffies at the wrists. An open
jet collar is wired to fare slightly The
design of this gown is also carried out in
black square meshed grenadine over pale
blue faille. The bell skirt of grenadine
may have lace founce, or else it has a
border of pale blue ribbon, dotted with Jet
applied fatty in a pattern of bow knots
with futtering ends. Serpentine striped
grenadine is similarly made over gray blue
or rosy heliotrope silk.-Harper's Bazaar.

sHERMAN'S ANTITRUST LAW.
VIII 1t BE Enforced Against the GIas,
TrnSts2

Trusts?
Sherman's universal panacea for cur
ing or killing trusts and combinations
has put the Mckinley organs, notably
the Chicago lnterOcean and the Cleve-
land Leader, in the hole.
These high tariff journals declared
after its passage that 1t would effectu-
ally put an end TO all trusts and combi-
nations whatsoever, but not one has so
far succumbed to It, nor has single suit
been brought by the attorney general
against them. And now these organs
are wailing because the trusts have
neither obeyed the law nor needed their
warnings. In the meantime the car
fridge trust and the lead trust and others
are getting out of the tariff all there is
in i.
And in spite Of the terror, which, ac-
cording to these organs, ought to have
been inspired by the antitrust law, thir-
teen of the largest flint glass companies
have formed trust under the name of
the United States Glass company, with
a capitalization of 81 100000
This new trust consists of the follow
ing concerns: King Glass company,
Ripley & Co., George Duncan &c Sons,
Adams Sc Co., O'Hara Glass company
Qimit ted, and Bryce Bros, all of Pitts
burg; Richards &c Hartley Glass com
pany; ChallInor, Taylor d Co. Qimited),
Tart ntum; GIllinder d Sons. Greens
burg; Hobbs Glass company, Wheeling:
BeDaire Goblet company and the Column
bia Glass CJmpany, Findlay, and the
Nickel Plate Glass company, Fostoria.
Tie trust, by its control over the trade,
will be able to raise the average of .divi-
dends to over go per cent. instead of
from 40 to 80 per cent. paid by these con-
Germs during the past ten years.
Here are the dividends of one of these
flint glass companies: January, 1888, 90
per cent; August, 1888, 90 per cent. !:
January, 1884, 40 per cent; July, 1884
90 per cent; January, 1885, 40 per cent. /;
July, 1885, so per cent. The Nickel
Plate company, -one of the members of
the new trust, started three years ago.
Since that time it has doubled its capacity
out OF its earnings The stock of the
Columbia company, also in the trust
has increased in value since 1885 over
200 per cent.
These are but characteristic instances
And now that the duty on the products
of this trust has been increased by the
Mckinley tariff from 40 to 40 per cent.
ad valorem to 60 per cent, not counting
duties on packing and other charges,
the dividends will surely average over
60 per cent. per year. Does this trust
fear Sber1nan's law Not so long as a
member of another glass trust occupies
a place in the cabinet of the trust ad-
ministration.

yards Bay, held for the purpose of tax
ing steps to protect the fish of the bay
from destruction by the working Of
seines, wires and pounds, the New York
Press seriously calls him to account for
opposing protection for men while sdvo>

Standard TO say: 1t has been said that
there is nothing in a name but that is
a mistake. 1t is name that turns the
ideas of protectionists topsy turvey. and
makes the full-blown editor of metros
'politsn paper see an analogy between
protection intended to prevent fish
slaughter, and protection intended to pre-
vent men from buying goods where they
prefer to buy. He would probably see
snslogies between the protection that

Novelties In Wells.

There are any number of novelties in
wells. Some are patterned at intervals
with butterflies, some with bees and some
with flies. They require to be put on very
carefully, and securely pinned to the hat,
SO that there is no chance of their getting
askew. A rather pretty veil for a blond
to wear is powdered with little turquoise
spots. Russian net fecked with gold goes
nicely with black and gold bonnet.
Chenille spots are wonderfully becoming,
but they are counted old style now. The
hunting crop and v patterns are both
novel. Colored wells are seldom worn.

Eagle River is lively little place
of about fifteen hundred inhabitants.
situated on helak lore road, eight
cen miles from the Michigan stat
line. It is right in the heart of tht
pine woods of northern Wisconsin
It is the principal distributing point
for logging camps on the Wisconsin
and Eagle rivers and their tributar-
les. It is essentially a lumber town
It's whole Industries centers into the
cutting and manufacturing of logs
into lumber, shingles, etc. 1t is es
pecially noted for the amount an
quality OF shingles it manufactures
The village has five saw mills with
combined daily capacity Of seven hun
dled and fifty thousand shingles, be
sides lumber, lath, etc, which will be-
enlarged to million next summer.
We have also one planning mill and
another will be built in the spring
The place has four large general
stores, three grocery stores, one
hardw are, one furniture, one harness.
one clothing and one drug store, one
merchant tailor, two restaurants,
five hotels, besides several boarding
houses, two shoe shops, one under

four departments full every day and
presided over by a corps of excellent
