General Insolvency

seemed to stare the whole commercial
world i'll the face, and was only averted
by the prompt and joint action of the
Bank of England and England's finan-
cierS, with the tens OF millions of dollars
drawn from all Europe and the United
States; when the combination of un-
toward circumstances were such as had
never before happened; when, in antic-
ipation of large profits. merchants
had ordered from Europe, in
many instances even before it
was known what the rate of duty
would be, good in such quantities that
even with an easy money market the
capacity OF our merchants to pay for
them would be severely tested. Under
such circumstances the failure of the
Barings occurred and securities the
only securities salable IN large uuanti-
ties held in England-were thrown on
the New York market in such i'm
mense quantities that the disburse-
ment by the United States treas
ury of some forty or fifty
millions seemed but drop in the bucket
to stay the demand for money. Going
into effect under such circumstances, it
was not an extremely difficult matter to
convince thousands of voters that the
financial difficulties were due solely to
the Inherent defects of the measure.
Why. look at the face of Austria, whose
merchants complain so loudly of the ruin
that the Mckinley bill has wrought
to their trade. They complained that
their industries were affected to such
an extent by the measure that through
their efforts the Austrian government
was forced to seek to draw other
nations.intO,measures of reprisal against
the United States. withstanding
these complaints, the facts proved that
the exports Tor the first three months
under the operation of the bill we've in
creased 60 per cent over the correspond
ing quarter of 1890. By its provisions
so per cent Of our purchases from Europe
are on the free list; "a per cent are ad-
mitted at reduced rate of duty: %
per cent at the same rate, while the
duty was advanced on but four cent.
The commerclal alliance of the central
states of Europe, which certain powers
are endeavoring to bring about, is evil
dence that the commercial nations are
not slow to axe every possible precau-
ton to protect their trade, and that it is
exactly the policy on which the McKin-
ley bill is founded. lam very confident
that the next few years will be years of
great prosperity to the United States,
and that they will prove to be favorable
both to our domestic manufactures and
to OFF fOreiru commerce ;,

This is the year Of our Lord 1892,

wonderful civilization and culture,
and yet it was but the other day
that an admission fee of rs cents a
head was charged by the officials of
a North Carolina Jail to see two
colored prisoners given thir.y-nine
lashes on their bare backs, and, if
the newspaper accounts are to be
believed, the gate money was suffi-
cient to pay all expenses of the
exhibition. We are at a loss for a
proper name for man who will
pay TO see such punishment in
tiicted upon another man.

American products. We now will

worth Of pork to Germany every

Inter Ocean: THE great Ameri-
can public likes Mckinley sugar so
well that during the three months
from April to July it took 1872,
403,s2l more pounds Of it than dur.
ing the corresponding period IN
1890.
A MN has now come forward
with an invention to prevent frost.
He bases his theory on the we'll
know fact that frosts do not appear
on cloudy nights, aud thinks that
if rain can be made clouds can be
made. Dakota farmers this year
created great smudges Of sEoke by
burning straw to the windward Of
their wheat fields, and IN many
cases prevented frosts from injuring
the grain in the milk.
The removal Of the restrictions
upon American pork by the Ger
man government will undoubtedly
cause a rise in the price of hog pro-
ducts. There is a scarcity of hogs
in the country, owing to the
slaughter Of young animals inoi-
dent t. the short crop of last year
and the consequent nigh price of
corn. When corn Is high it can.
not be converted into pork at q pro-
fit unless hog products are
correspoudingly high.

WHY They Do 1t.

Every one has noticed that builders as
soon as they put in the glass, especially
In the lower story of structures, daub
large quantity of whiting upon the inner
side of the glass. By most observers the
act is no doubt regarded as a very silly
thing to do, but such is not the case
There is good reason for the act. A
Chicago reporter recently interviewed g
contractor on this point and received the
following explanation: ave have to mark
them that way or they'd be smashed in
no time. You see, the workmen around
new building get in the custom of shoy-
Ing lumber, ETC., through the open sash
before the glass is put in. They would
continue to do it even after the glass is
in If we didn't do something to attract
their attention. That's the reason you
always see new windows daubed with
glaring white marks. Even if careless
workman does start to shove stick of
timber through costly plate Of glass,
he will stop short when his eye catches
the danger sign. That white mark is
just a signal which says: Look out;
you'll break me if you are not careful. !"

How to Plant Your Corn and the
Variety to Use to Secure the
Best Results-The Results of
Experiments.

The Illinois experiment station is To-
Gated on q black loam about twenty
inches deep, underlaid with cIay-the
soil common to the prairies of Illinois.
Thus located, that station is wisely de-
voting much of its resources to the study
of the great cereal crop. corn.
In bulletin No. 13 for FEBRUARY, 1891
is given detailed report of the expert
ments of corn made at that station for
1890, with a summary of the results for
1888 and 1890. The results may be sum-
married. as follows:
Of the varieties of corn treated, the
medium maturing sorts (such as Leam-
ing, and white varieties of similar sea-
soma, are recommended for central llll-
nois. These have given higher yeiId,
without exception. than those maturing
earlier or later.
Good crops of corn were raised from
medium maturing variety when plant
ed any time in May.
Planting at about one inch in depth
has been followed by larger crops on the
average than deeper planting.
Corn planted at the rate of one kernel
every II inches, in rows feet inches
apart, gave larger average yield OF
grain than when planted either thicker
or thinner.
Better results were obtained from
planting in hills than in drills, appar-
emily because in hills culture, the corn
could be kept cleaner.
No appreciable benefit has been de-
rived from frequent cultivation, nor
from cultivation after the ordinary
time.
For the three years the yield has been
J increased to the extent of one-fourth by
shallow cultivation. The plat which
had no cultivation after planting, ex-
cept to remove the weeds by scraplng
with sharp hoe, yielded more each
season than the average of the deep
cultivated ulats, and in but 2 instances
did any one of the deep cultivated plats
yield more than the plat not cultl-
waited.
These experiments indicate that any
cultivation of the soil which effectually
removes the weeds, and at the same
time disturbs the roots as little as posi-
BILE, is the best; and that on this soil, the
stirring of the ground beyond what i
necessary to kill the weeds is of little i
any benefit.
No practial benefit was received IRON
the use of commercial fertilizers Ih'
increased yields from the use of stable
manure probably repaid the cost OF TN
application and left some pront.
