TO ExTERMINATE HOP LOUISE.
The Vines Should Be Burned and the
Plum Trees Washed.
From a Government Bulletin

From the life history just given three impor-
tant facts are obtained: First-It will pay to
make preventive application of some one of
the mixtures mentioned further on, with appar-
atus there described, to all plum
trees in the neighborhood of hop
yards, either in the spring before
The appearance of the first winged generation
and its consequent migration to hop, or in the
fall after hop picking and after the lice have
once more returned to the plum and are making
their preparations for the laying of winter eggs.
The latter time WILL perhaps, be preferable. for
the reason that in the fall the plum trees will be
less susceptible to the action of the washes and
a stronger solution be applied without
damage TO the trees. Second-Au wild
plum trees in the woods through a
hop growing country should be destroyed.
Second-The hop vines should be either burned
or thoroughly drenched with kerosene emulsion
as soon after the crop is harvested as possible,
with view of killing the males and thus pre-
venting the impregnation of the females. IL
these measures are carefully followed, compare
tive exemption from lice may confidently be
expected.
At the present time II is too late for preventive
work, and the only thing which can be done TO
lessen the damage to the crop is to destroy the
lice upon the vines by spraying with an insect
icide mixture. Such spraying can, with care,
be made quite effective, and the individual hop
grower will have the satisfaction of knowing
that whatever work he does upon his own yard
will not be thwarted by the carelessness OF
neightors, as during the summer the lice can
not migrate except by crawling from one yard
to another.

only fraud can void an assessment, and
irregularities may only be set up in mitiga-
ton. Where an intention is 50 clear, it
does not seem reasonable that il should be
defeated by mere technical evasion, in
territorial or neglectfll All through these
statutes the legisIating power has APP
preciafed the liability of officials to be in
competent or careless, and the temptation
to property-owners to take advantage Of
ignorance or cupidity.
The Seattle charter of 1885 sets this
forth with lucidity of language and en-
phasis of purpose which should need no
resort to other state laws TO interpret.
Ii declares positively that while
certain form is TO be observed, yet
merely technical omissions are not to
jeopardize the city's interests. The
property-owneIs are also protected, be-
cause the charter provides that if the city
has TO bring suit to recover such assess
ment, and "if defects. informalities or ir-
regularities. prejudiciaI to the party OBJ
jecting on account thereof. appear, the
court in its discretion may disallow any
part or the whole of the plaintiffs costs or
allow costs to the defendant"
1t is an important subject. because the
uncollected grade taxes in Seattle amount,
with the interest, to about $4,000; and
the city interests have hitherto been only
perfunctorily defended, whereas the most
able and skillful lawyers have been re-
tanned to act for the property-owners,
whose great gain it was TO defeat the assess
ment and throw the cost of improvement
upon the taxpayers at large.

ACHIEVEMENTS OF RECIPROCITY.
The Opinion of Leading German News
paper on Mr.. B1aine's Policy.

Petersburg lndex-AppeaI tDem-l.
One of the most interesting comments
from journals in Europe that have recent
IL come to our notice is the following ex-
tract from a lengthy article IN the Berlin
Export, which is the official journal OF the
centrdlrerein for German interests abroad:
Mr.. Blaine's diplomatic dexterity has
made Brazil real domain of the north.
European wishes and circumstances could
not get hearing in Rio de Janeiro. The
exporting countries of Europe have lost
vast, weli-paying market territories.
Several months ago American diplomats
tried TO convince Spain of the necessity OF
signing a treaty with the United States by
which Cuba and Porto Rico would be
protected against the workings of the
Mckinley law. The Spanish government
put up many obstacles, but the 1ankee
was sure of his victory in the end, and
Spain, being afraid that Cuba might free
herself from the European yoke, yielded.
According 10 the reciprocity treaty, sugar,
honey, cocoa. hides and coffee from Cuba
and Porto Rico may enter free into
the United States, while tobacco and
iron ore have 10 pay the duty laid down
in the Mckinley law. This shows that
the United States lets in free only such
articles as il cannot produce, or at least
not IN sufficient quantity. Everything 1t
does produce itself is protected carefully.
The Yankees hold a weighty weapon IN
their hands by which they will COM
merciaily conquer all Spanish America.
A gloomy prospect for the exporting in
dustries of Europe. 1t will not be easy
for the exporting countries to prevent the
influence of the United States in Spanish
America, and they will have to stand
still with crossed arms and see the exports
of Europe diminishing year by year. Ii
will be different with the European mer-
chants who live in the West Indies and
South America, engaged in the importing
business. They will take up samples and
catalogues from factories in Rhode Island,
New Jersey, etc, and send their orders to
New York. 1t will certainly not he long
before in Rio, Caracas and Havana, the
agents of Europen firms will have 10 hear
the stereotyped answer: 81 am sorry; your
articles would not pay any more. We get
them from New York"

creased nearly as much, and English labor
is largely Idle or working at reduced
wages.
If the United States should abandon its
historic policy of protection and adopt the
free trade system OF tariff for revenue
only" among the results that would surely
follow would be a large reduction In the
wages of American workmen. or the clos
ing of American workshops, or both.
Ninety per cent. of the cost of our manu-
features is labor. and European wages aver
age only about one-half the present rate
of American wages. The American man
ufacturer could not compete with the Eu-
ropean unless he should reduce the
wages of his workmen to the
starvation scale and consequent degrade
ton of European labor: with the removal
of the tariff duties must come low wages
or American workshops will close. If the
shops close then the operatives would no
longer make a market for the factory
villages and of course would crowd into
the ranks of agriculture, because there
would be nowhere else to go. This would
cause an increase of farm products with
out any increased demand for them. which
would mean the reduction of the farmers
profits, the inevitable result of greatly in
creased production without corresponding
increase of consumption.
The industrial statistics of this country
show that the manufacturer and the farm
er have Arrays been terribly injured, if not
ruined, by free trade or very low tariff;
that enforced idleness on the part of our
laborers, universal debt, depreciation OF
property, general distress and financial
ruin have al0ays followed free trade or
very low tariff
We cannot pay double the price for labor
and capital that England and Germany
pay and then sell in the same markets
that they do and compete with them sue
cessfully. Every workingman who reads
and thinks knows that the same tariff that
protects his labor has given him free sugar,
while. as Major Mckinley points out,
every tariff bill which the Democrats have
formulated has placed duty upon sugar,
raw and refined. Every Democrat in the
House voted for the retention of the tax,
and in the Senate united Democratic
vote opposed free sugar, justifying their
opposition because it was a revenue duty
and in strict accord with the economic
principles advocated by the Democratic
party.

The responsibility and the dignity of
labor were spendidly demonstrated by the
celebration yesterday.

The Alliance legislature OF Georgia has re-
fused to accept home for ex-Confederate
soldiers, built in Atlanta from the proceeds of
voluntary contributions, 62 voting In its favor
and % against it, The ex-Confederate soldiers
and their friends were naturally angry and the
Atlanta Constitution takes up cudgeIs for them
against the Legislature. An ex-confederate,
Colonel "Bill'' Smith, denounced the Legislature
so bitterly in the columns of the Constitution
that one Mr. Everett from the floor OF the House
said:

last legislature, and a man OF some talent, but
