TALK of prosecuting the leaders OF the

RECIPROCITY, according TO Mr.. Mills,
is a Democratic doctrine, but the ugly
fact remains that the Democrats in Con-
gress did their best to defeat it.-St.

THE latest figures show that Congress

be accepted by that country, have an

DEMOCRATIC organs are again lament

were made less than year ago, but
their calculations utterly failed to dove

Reciprocity which We DO Not Want.

Mr.. Mills seems to have larger ca
pacity for ooddering idiocy on the sub
Jet Of foreign trade than any other man
i'm the public eye. In speech on Friday
ne said. IF reciprocity is wanted, why
not negotiate with England, France, and
Germany" Why, you precious old
ninny. what is the good Of reciprocity
with nations which wish 20 sell US such
things as we can manufacture or produce
ourselves? Is there any sense I'm our
buying iron products from England when
we have inexhaustible supplies OF iron
ore and coal TO convert the same into pig
iron in our own country, and plenty OF
men 10 work the pigs mp into all sorts OF
shapes? What profit would result from
letting our swn cotton and wooden mills
stand idle in order that we might
buy cotton and wooden goods from Eng
land? Would IL be sensible for US to
close our silk factories In order TO take
the products Of French Icons, or our
hosiery mills to oblige German manu-

Maple Sugar Bounty.

We have received, says the american
Economist, several inquiries as to the
conditions under which the bounty upon
maple sugar may be secured by pro-
ducers The bounty to be paid will be
from / q TO 2 cents, according to the test
OF sugar produced. In order to entitle
the producer of sugar TO the bounty it
will be necessary for him TO file a notice
between April 1 and July l with Col
lector OF Internal Revenue, stating the
place of production, describing the ma
chinery and methods TO be employed,
giving an estimate OF the amount of
sugar proposed 20 be produced, the num-
Der OF maple trees TO be tapped, and
making an application for license, ac-
companied by a bond in penalty and
sureties that the prescribed regulations
will be observed. The license referred
to will be issued without charge.

Those Good Old Days"

SOME OF THE PRICES THAT FARMERS
USED TO RECEIVE AND PAY.
The following figures were taken from
an ancient book kept in Boonesboro dur
ing the year 1854. The items were
taken hap-hazard and compared with
prices given by our merchants. They
show an average reduction that is start
ling, and when the prudent housewife
compares the two sets OF figures she
will feel that she is willing to live UNI
der Republican regime, and pay five
cents for tin cup that in 1854 cost four
times as much. But here are the
figures Study them out carefully:
