The Farmer,s Institute.

The Institute was moderately
we'll attended, but not 80 we'll as il
should have been considering the
value of the topics discussed.
Mr.. FarnswOrth is a practical
hOrticulturalist, one who has made
the growing Of fruits a practical
and financial success, and one who
is able to give the results of his ex:
perience in a manner such as to be
of great practical benefit to all our
people, We wish all our fruit
growers and farmers could have
heard and prOfited by his sugges'
tiOns.
Mr., Hickman Is a gentleman
who is master Of his subjects, and
one who combines science and
practical ideas in ali his discussions.
On Wednes day afternoon he gave
lecture on Tile drainage that will
be of lasting value to all who
heard it. He Is a speaker of pleas
ing address and never falls to make
his subjects interesting.

Parliamentary Mechanism.
New York World.l

New fork World.l
The mechanism of American
legislation needs readjustment.
If we could all get together to
make the laws we might do better
and could hardly do worse than
the present system, but as we can
not so meet we select one man out
of every thousand, or ten thousand,
or hundred thousand, as the case
may be, to do the work. There is
this anomaly in the way they do
the work that whereas 1t takes
majority to elect, minority may,
and very often does, enact. In d
House of say 100 members, a ma
jority, or fifty-one, can proceed to
business, and q majority of that
majority, or t%enty-six, can pass a
law. This is all wrong, and the rule
should be that majority of the
whole number of members must
concur.
Added to this, the final vote
should in all cases be by the yeas
and nays, so that on any given law
1t could be precisely known how
each man voted and who lodged
Some states already require a ma
jority of the whole number OF
members, but, failing 10 require a
yea and nay vote, the full benefit
is not reaped. When majority,
and not majority of majority,
make the laws, and when each leg
islator is compelled to disclose his
action on each law, the machinery
will work much more satisfactorily
than it does now,

Tin Plates.

Considerable pleasure has, lately;
been manifested by some of our
Republican exchanges over the
manufacture of tin plates in this
country, which they claimed was
the institution Of new industry
which was made possible by the
Mckinley tariff law. Investigation
shows, however, that there has
been no such industry established.
A few plates only having been
made by a Chicago firm, who used
for the purpose imported prepared
iron plates, imported block tin and
imported workmen. The only op-
GRAFTON performed in this country
being the melting of the tin and
the dipping of the ready prepared
plates.

w. N. Cowdens first paper, "Who
are the producers" was well writ
ten, splendidly read, and as full Of
points as harrow. If given the
attention it deserves it will go far
toward modifying and eradicating
the erroneous opinions of many
who think the agriculturalist the
only producer.
Thursday there was a lecture on
pruning Of fruit trees, by Mr..
Farnsworth, which was full of in
formation and practical facts, an
able paper on the care and manage
ment of sheep by MIR. Cowden
which was worth much in real dol
lars to every flock owner of the
country. Mr.. Cowden is thorough
master of the subject of sheep
growing and is an able and pleas
ing speaker.
The subject of wheat culture
was ably discussed by Mr.. Hick-
man, and his suggestions were
timely, practical and worthy of the
careful consideration of every one
who expects to make wheat grow
ing matter of profit on the farm.
During the session of the Insti-
tute the audience was enlivened
by most excellent vocal and instru-
mental music, rendered by our
home talent in such manner as to
win rounds of applause from all
present. Before adjonrning u
unanimous vote was given by the
society, to the musicians, the peo-
pie of Logan, owner of the Opera
House, speakers and all concerned,
in making the occasion one Of
pleasure and profit.
Altogether the Institute was a
success the only shame being that
more of our farmers did not attend
and receive its benefits. The off,
GERS of the Association for the next
year are: H. L. Wright, President,
w. n. England, Secretary.
The next Institute will meet the
last week in January, 1892, at
which time we hope to see fully
five hundred farmers and farmers
wives present.

THERE is room for the belief
that one purpose of the Force bill
was to intrench the Republican
Earty so firmly In control of the
Government that it could snap its
fingers at the popular demand for
tariff revision as "immaterial."
There was to be bayonet behind
every section Of the tariff law.

The Conspiracy BaHied.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.l

Cleveland Plain Dealer.l
We congratulate the country.
The conspirators against its peace
and welfare were signally beaten
in the United States Senate Mon
day and rejoicings are in order.
The force bill was temporarily laid
aside some days ago that the gag
rule might be taken up. If that
rule were passed the way would be
clear for the force bill to be brought
TO vote. If the gag rule should be
defeated there was little chance for
the passage of the force bill, as the
Democrats were determined to ex-
haust every right of the minority
before it should be passed over
their heads and the end of the ses-
sion is very near.
There was no secrecy as to the
intentions of the conspirators
against free elections in the states
and free debate in the senate. The
discussion was permitted to go
on while they were summoning
their absent colleagues to return.
They hoped to secure enough votes
to carry their measures or at least
to tie the senate on a full vote,
when Vice President Morton was
expected to obey orders, as he did
last week in his rulings, and give
his rulings, and give his casting
vote for suppression of debate in
the senate and for usurption of
authority at the polls. 1t was ex-
ultingly proclaimed at the polls.
vt was exultingly proclaimed by
the party organs that the end of
this week at latest would finish the
fight on the gag rule by its adop-
tion and the passage of the force
bill would quickly follow.
The fight ended with the first of
the week instead of the last and
the result was the reverse Of the
prediction. A motion by Mr.. VOL
colt to take up the apportionment
bill and send the gag rule to join
the force bill on the senate calen-
dar was carried by 80 to "a. Six
Republicans joined the Democrats
in shelving the gag rule. Nine
pairs were announced, bringing
the votes recorded and assumed to
A against the gag rule and 43 for
it. Senator Stanford was the only
senator absent impaired, and he
was claimed with positiveness on
both sides. If he sided with the
gag rule forces and the senators
voted as their pairs indicated, a
full senate would have been evenly
divided and the vice president
would have had to decide the ques-
tion. There is hardly a doubt now
as to his position, but he was spared
that disgrace.
I There should not be much hope
for the gag rule and force bill com
ing up again now that the senate
has got down to business once more.
The apportionment bill will proba-
bly, take up some time and when
that is through with it will be nec-
essary to work steadily on the ap.
propriation bills II they are to be
passed. The Democrats in both
branchers of congress are ready to
put thought all business legislation
without unnecessary delay. They
will cooperate with the majorityin
working for the welfare of the
country, but will resist to the utter
most legislation to its injury.

The Wool TrinmYirnte.

National Democrat
When the tariff system was in
augurated in this country, 1t was
to foster manufactures and not the
production of raw materials. AS a
new country, with vast quantities
of new land and relatively high
wages for labor, because there were
so many fields of employment it
was thought that manufactures
needed some artificial stimulus,
but rs for raw materials, 1t was
their very excess that led to the
fostering of manufactures. Now
the producers of two raw materials,
iron ore and wool, are the most de-
termined claimants for protection.
The wool men are of all others the
most exacting, and it is pretty evil
dent that they will kill the manu-
facture of woollens If they cannot
be choked off in some way.
David Harpster and William
Lawrence and Columbus Delano
held their annual meeting last
week, and David presided and
William offered a set of resolutions,
which were unimously adopted by
David and Columbus, and Column
bus made u speech denouncing the
woollen manufactures. Among
other things that the association
declared was "that whenever by
legislation or reciprocity treaty
wool shall be admitted free from
any foreign country, we will de-
mand that woolen goods shall be
admitted free from all foreign
countries"
The association denounced the
woolen manufactures for asking
some modification of the present
tariff and at the same time the as
sociation resolved that no wool
having any admixture of merino
or English blood, immediate or re-
mote, shall be admit, d as third
class wool; that the Sorting clause"
of the law shall be enforced, and
that inland transportation shall be
included as part of the dutiable
cost Of third-class wool; and, in
short, demanded that the importa-
tion of any wool of any kind from
anywhere should be absolutely
prohibited.
When David and William and
Columbus have got the price of
wool up where they want it they
won't sell any because all the man
ufacturers will have gone out of
business. We earnestly advise
David and William and Columbus
to order congress during the last few
weeks of its existence as Repub-
lican combine to enact law fixing
so cents pound as the price of
domestic unwashed wool and re-
quiring the wOollen manufacturers,
or somebody, it doesn't matter
who, to buy at that figure all the
wool that David Harpster and
William Lawrence and Columbus
Delano offer them.
A good while ago, during the
Dark Ages, an English King who
wanted to help the Delanos, Law
rences and Harpsters of his day
decreeed that the dead should be
buried only in woolen shrouds.
Something of this kind might help
the three Shepherd Kings of Ohio
until something adequate could be
provided. If they would settle
their claims against the country
for pensions of, say, 500, 900 each
annually it would be economical to
buy them off.
