The legitimate business interests OF
the country says the Chicago Inter
Ocean, continue TO exhibit distinct symp-
toms of unusual activity and prosperity
for the season Neither the volume OF
business transacted nor the character OF
it calls for any special comment, except
in comparison with the ike period of
previous years. In nearly every part OF
the United States merchants and manu-
facturers notice positive improvement
over the same season of all other years.
The restricting influence of February
has lost its customary force, and the
consumptiye absorption of commodities
is being carried upon liberal midwinter
scale. This universal activity in general
trade is commonly attributed to the
fact that the money stringeney of last
November and December seriously
acramped" mercantile and industrial
operations at that time, which are now
being carried out. There is undoubted
ly much truth in this assumption, but it
does not fully cover the case. The entire
winter has been favorable for the trans
portation of merchandise in the sections
of the country where Slow blockades
and bliZzards are ordinariiy common
and out-of-door work has been prose
cuted with but slight IL arruptions
Then the agricultural classes have hac
good market for their product at profit
able prices, and have been able to shiI
1t whenever they have needed money
Exceptionally prompt collections have
thus been the result, and the wheels o
commerce have thus been kept mos
freely oiled. The tendency of the times
moreover, is TO purchase goods onl.
very shortly in advance of consumption
and TO anticipate merely the actual re
quirements OF consumers. Thus th
old-time seasons Of pronounced dullnes
and activity in general business ar
: grUaaally being effaced, and the prs
; cedents of ten years ago are becomin
absolutely valueless. When these fact
are carefully considered the present 81
| uation loses much of it's apparentl
? anomalous aspect.

A PROMINENT characteristic in the tao
tics of free trade attorney is their per-
sistent appeal to preiduice-their con-
slant effort to influence the passions of
voters, whose unbiased judgment would
otherwise hold them to the support of a
protective policy.
Prominent among such appeals are
those to the prejudice Of locality. The
relation of tariff to the varied industries
of the country is rarely mentioned with
out reference to the farmer as West
ern man, and the intimation that those
engaged in manufacturing all belong
TO the east. And this in face of the fact
that some of the countries figuring most
prominently in the census OF agricult-
ural products are long distance east of
the Mississippi valley, and the further
fact that some among the heaviest man.
ufacturing concerns IN the United
States are owned and operated i'll the
great agricultural state of Illinois.
These same attorneys for foreign trade
delight IN referring to the existing law
as the war tariff, Just as if there had
been NO protective legislation anterior
to 1S61-when the fact is that Washing
ton, Jefferson, Monroe, Clay, Jackson,
and other representative statesmen of
the then slave-owning states, were fore
most in advocating and enacting laws
for the avowed protection of domestic
industries.
When we have the appeal to the pre-
iudIce of occupation, for the purpose of
arraying workers against the men who
employ them; those who grow crops
against those who transport and market
the products of the farm. And so on
through the list. Every man who is
found to be dissatisfied with the sur
roundings, disappointed in his efforts to
get ahead in the world, is asked to look
upon protection as the stumbling block
to his ambition, and is promised that
with free foreign trade will come those
better times for which all men hope.
Appeals to prejudice would not be
necessary if free trade attorneys did moi
| realize the risk Of leaving voters tC
follow mans natural impusle for protec
tion-whether at the home, by making
every ones house his castle, and restrict
ing its privileges to family and friends
or to ones occupation, through cooper
alton with fellow-workmen for securing
individual rights-or to the nation
through legislation and insures Cor in
dustry and enterprise in this countr
privileges beyond reach of competitors i
any outside nation.

Railroad Notes.

The contents of the railroad wood yard
at Aqua Zarca were burned Friday
night.
Some of the railroad employees organ
izations are opposed to reducing the
fares and otherwise regulating railroad
uonopolies, because they fear that a re-
duction OF wages. mig ht result in con-
sequence. They are mistaken, for re-
ductions OF fares and rational rules
stimulate travel and commerce, and
whatever rates were reduced the busi-
ness of railroads has increased. The
men will maintain AID even advance
their wages il they cling to their organi-
tations.
So far this season the Texas 4 Pacific
has hauled 481, ,026 bales Of cotton, de-
crease over last season of 26,611 bales.
Probably the most unique and expen-
sive annual pass for 1891 is that recently
sent out by Mr.. Hoey, of the Adams ex-
press company. On the face, delicately
engraved is a skull, and about it in fine
letters is the word ''deadhead."
The Nogales Herald says: James
Handley, a brakeman on the Sonora
road was killed at the summit, six miles
south of town Friday night at 8 o'clock
He left here on a southbound special
and after the train passed over the sum
NIT Handley went out to set the breaks
AS the speed of the train did not slaken
Conductor Woodruff and the other
brakeman went out. Finding that Hand
ley was not on the train, they went back
three miles and found him dead. II
appears that just as he got on top OF the
cars the train rounded short curve
and threw him off.
Jerry Zane, conductor of the Mexican
Central, died of pneumonia, at Chihua-
hua, last Saturday.

A VISITOR in this city recently writing
to a Denver paper, complains that much
of our retail grocery trade has passed
into the hands of the almond eyed
Chinese, and enumerates the number
of their stores at IA. The writer In
question, builded better than ne knew
for instead of IA stores there are 81.
This number does not include Chan
Tin Wo. Chan is an American
citizen and a good citizen in at
that, but he alone of the foregoing
number, can claim that proud distinc-
tion. The others are here for wha'
they can get and to put it mildly ti4e!
are getting pretty much everything
there is in it. With but two single ex-
ceptions merchants of Mexican nation
ahty have been forced out OF the busi-
ness by their Chinese competitors. AS
the latter have no families TO support
and the former have they must OF me-
cessity go to the wall. This change has
taken place within the past half dozen
years. What another half dozen years
will tbring about is hard to foresee.

ABOUT THE APlARY.

1T is estimated that TO collect one
pound of honey from clover $4,000
heads of clover must be deprived of
nectar and 3,75O,OO0 visits from bees
must be made.
NOTHING can detraet more from our
crop of comb honey than to have our
bees get the swarming fever during the
honey harvest unless it is having them
so weak at the time that they are of
little or no value.
THE largest amount of wild honey
ever taken from one tree was reported
from Oregon recently. A farmer took
700 pounds from one cottonwood tree
in which a huge swarm of bees had
stored up the annual accumulations for
many years.
In locating an apiary avoid the close
proximity of laurel thickets as honey
gathered from the laurel is unwhole-
some, if not really poisonous; avoid the
neighborhood of cider-mills, and do not
locate Immediately near large body of
water, as it will confne your bee-range
to one direction exclusively.
THE prominence of the Bookkeeping
industry is not generally recognized,
from the fact that it is almost every
where carried on as an incident of gen.
eral agriculture. Every State and Ter
ritory reports bees and more or less hon.
ey, usually hive or few colonies for
each farmer, with occasionally an ex-
tensive apiary and large production.
ALWAYS in managing bees, the apiar-
ist should have an eye on the future as
regards his honey harvest, until the
harvest arrives and when it arrives,
then bend his every energy for the time
which is present For instance, my
honey harvest comes from Eastwood, or
during the last half of July, so all my
operations previous to this time must
be in reference to this harvest, or all my
efforts will result only in failure.
