A Word for the Earthworm,

The earthworm is an animal which has
not received that attention from biologists
which 1t deserves, in spite of the fact that
Its habits and structure formed the last of
that magnificent series of volumes with
which Darwin enriched scientific literature.
And it has not only been neglected by nat
uralists, but has incurred the bitter enmity
of gardeners and farmers 1t is true that
the gardener has some reason for his dis
like when he sees his carefully rolled walks
and smooth lawns rendered unsightly by
the heaps of earth with which the worm
diligently covers them.
But the farmer has no business to COM
plain, for not only do earthworms form a
large part of the food of many birds, which
would, perhaps, in their absence direct
their attention more closely to his crops
and fruit trees, but they are of positive adj
vantage in loosening the soil, and SO max
ing passages for the rain to trickle down to
the lowest roots.
More than hundred years ago Gilbert
White devoted one of his letters to the sub
lect of earthworns, and defended them
from the acc lsation of uselessness and in
Juriousness in the economy of nature, re-
marking further, and so to a certain ex-
tent anticipating Darwin, that they are
often responsible for the formation of new
solls.-F. E. Beddard, NJ A, in Chambers

A $4,000 FARM FOR $1,000.
That Is What n Vermont Wool Grower =,

That Is What a Vermont Wool Grower II.
Offering.
| How is it possible that there should
still be any wool growers left in this
country who believe that the wool tax ia
Of any benefit to them? The fact that
wool has beea going down in the home
market ever since the high duties were
imposed in 1867, and is now under the
Mckinley law lower than ever, ought to
settle that question once for all.
How the decline in the price of wool
has affected the wool growers, even those
situated nearest to the wooden mills and
enjoying all the advantage which the
protectionists see in that, is illustrated
in the experience of Vermont farmer.
This man writes to The New England
Farmer to show how his farm has suf-
fered in value by the decline in the price
of wool. He says:
81 own a farm of 800 acres and maid
for it rails ng wool. l continued in the
business until the price of wool and
sheep went down so low that could not
pay taxes and support my family. Then,
with hundreds of other farmers of New
England, disposed of my sheep and
went to raising cattle for beef. About
the same lime and for the same cause
many OF the farmers in the west cut
down their f1ocks of sheep and went to
raising beef"
But enormous production of cattle
caused fall in the price of beef also.
and it is only the foreign market, as this
shrewd Vermont farmer sees, which pre-
vents the prices of beef from being ruin
Gus.
The depreciation in the value of his
farm is thus stated:
before the commencement of the re-
bellion, when wool was bringing fair
price, was offered $l1 500 for nv farm.
l then asked $4,000, but was not anx-
ious to sell. l am now Offering it for
$1,000. The other farms in this vicinity
have deprecated in about the same
ratio"
In commenting on this letter The New
England Farmer says:
The editors are agreed IN their belief
in the Importance of the sheep industry
and in its value to farmers. We feel
that many could add to their profits and
improve their farms by keeping iiocl,
of sheep"
But, the editor significantly adds:
'They should make mutton rather
than WOO the main consideration, and
if they could raise few early lambs for
market the profits would be materially
enhanced"
And thus, after nearly quarter of a
century of wool protection, the farmers
are advised to kill their sheep for NUT
ton! And this despite the fact that the
wool growers are protected by what the
New York Tribune boasts of as s.the
best wool Cariff ever enactedr

Hamilton as a Protectinnist.

Never was dead man quoted more
falsely by MS followers than Alexander
Hamilton. If he were alive today he
would be cried down by the whole tribe
of Mckinleyites as free trader, as IAN
enemy to American industry" and as
one who serves foreign interests"
The views which Hamilton held are
now denounced by our high tariff ora
tors from every stump.
For example, the protection which
Hamilton defended averaged less than s
per cent. al around, while our McKin-
ley tariff averages about 60 per cent. and
runs above 100, and even 200 and 300 per
cent. on some articles. With his little s
per cent. tariff, too, Hamilton was salts
fed. In his report on manufactures, is
sued in 1871, he said: at need scarcely
be observed that the duties on the great
mass of articles have reached point
which it would not be expected to ex-
ceed."
And yet our McKinleyites century
later give us 60 per cent and denounce
as ''unpatriotic" the wicked Democrats
who several years ago were about to
give us 40 per cent.
Our McEinleyites, too, make it one of
the fundamental points of their creed
that 1.-The foreigner pays the duty" and
even now the great Mckinley himself is
defining protection as taxing somebody
else's property rather than our own"
But Hamilton was man of honest
mind who would practice no cheap de-
ception upon himself. Hamilton admit
ted that it was true, as general rule,
that the consumer pays the duty"
At another very important point Ham
ilton stood at variance with our latter
day proteCtionists. These insist that
domestic manufacturers do not charge
more for their goods by reason Of the
duty on the foreign article. But not SO
Hamilton. He, simple minded and hon
est man, could not see how there could
be any such thing as protection at all if
the manufacturer did not get higher
prices. Here is the way he put it down
in plain black and white, Duties evil
IDENTIFY amount to a virtual bounty,
since, by enhancing the charges on for
ign articles, they enable our manufac-
turers to undersell foreign competitors.
Here is another good, square admission
of the same thing, "As duty upon n
foreign article makes an addition to its
price, it causes an extra expense to the
community for the benefit of the domes-
tic manufacturer; bounty does no
more"

Still Hopeful About Pork.

Uncle Jerry Rusk is once more proph-
esying that the prohibition of our pork
in the markets of continental countries
will soon be removed. He says: "The
small crops of cereals in the European
countries and the financial troubles in
Great Britain will necessitate the admit
lance of our pork, and the result will be
a much larger sale of our products than
ever before, not only of pork. but other
articles of food as well.
But when the countries on the CONT
nent remove the prohibition of our pork,
it will then be admitted only upon pay
ment of heavy duties. According to
McKinley's notion our farmers viii pay
those duties. How do they like the
prospect?

Rats IkeRnOn4ible.

goshen, Ind, April 1O.--A miner
named Snyder was found dead here a
few days ago, and two tramps arrested
charged with his murder. a senSa-
tlonal account was published in the
New York papers, regarding disclosures
made by his wife, who lives in New
York, in the presence of the tramps
leading to their seeking him and at
tempting robbery, which resulted in
his death. Now the coroner's verdict
has been made public, to the effect that
Snyder came to his death by falling and
striking his head against bed post,
and that the gashes in his head which
were supposed to have been caused by
blows from a cudgel were caused by
rats, which had been gnawing on the
dead body for pelhaps day previous to
the finding oft. The two tramps who
have been held charged with the mur.
der, some articles belonging to Snyder
being found in their possession, have
been released in consequence, and have
skipped the neighbor hood.
