The business of exporting apples from this country to Europe, though of comparatively recent growth, is yearly becoming more important. Up to July 1 steamers from Ameri- can ports had carried to the United States Kingdom about 100000 bar rels of apples since the season be- gan. Reports from Liverpool to
 exporters here are to the effect that the demand there is a greater than the supply, and is increasing con- stantly as the merits of the Ameri- can apple become fully appreciated.

If James G. Blaine should knock Chile into cooked hat and succeed in establishing free trade between the United States, Mexico and the South American republic it would not be surprising to see him seek ing the nomination on the demo- cratic national ticket. If he takes the democratic platform to stand on why not take in the entire bak- cry? Reciprocity is but another name for free trade; nothing more, nothing less.-Star.

Two French chemists, M. Berthe- lot and NJ. Andre, have been experi menting on the source of the pecu- liar ground smell which comes from wet earth, and is very perceptible in spring freshests and a heavy morning dew, They find it is ow- ing to something analogous to cam phorated substances, which exists in very small quantities in the last analysis of earth, but is neither an alkali, an acid nor an aldehyde ; in fact is of unknown nature, in spite of the minute experiments of NJ. Berthelot, and the researches of Muntz into the alcohol which the earth contains. Such are the diff culties of organic chemIstry-if this may be ascribed to that field of science.-Boston Advertiser.

More than 9 per cent of the freight of the country is coal. In 1889 the average price per ton of coal at the mines was 99 cents for bituminous and $2.44 for anthra- cite. The demand for coal in all parts of the country is improving, and it Is taking the place of wood as fuel in remote sections.-Pitts- burg Dispatch.

Even MT. Blaine's enemies will hardly question his political sagac- Ity hereafter. He was the only leader of the party keen enough to perceive that protection had been pushed too far, and he seized upon the freer trade of reciprocity to avert the danger. And now he is the first prominent republican to cut loose from a close afiliation with pluto- cracy-wealth using political power for it's own advantage. MT. Blaine vas not born yesterday.-World.

A statute of Washington Irving has just been completed by John Marchant Mundy, a blind sculptor, living in Tarrytown. The model is one-third larger than life, and rep resents Mr. Irving seated in an easy chair, with one leg crossed oyer the other. bIr. Mundy went to New York at the age of twenty-two, at which time he still retained his sight, and worked for short time in an ordinary marble-yard. From that time, 1854, he produced a num- Der of works, although his sight was steadily failing. He is now to- tally blind, and this last statute has been modelled with only the sense of touch to guide him.

The Manufacturers Record ol

The Manufacturers Record oi Baltimore, which is devoted to gath ering statistics of the Southern States, publishes a table showing that the assessed valuation of pro pertY for the purposes of taxation in the fourteen States of the South was in 1880 $2,913,436,O95; in 1889 $4,22O,166, 400; in 1890, $4, ,493, ,555,- 586; in 1891, s4,816,396,S96.

The South is growing rapidly, and the prosperity of that section seems to be pretty evenly distributed.

THE TARIFF AND WAGES

The fact that Mr., Carnegie pays more
wages to certain employees than to 9th.
ers, or that these wages at first glance
are seemingly very large, does not enter
into the discussion Of the political phase
Of the Homestead affair.
The political part Of the situation is
easily defined. -Four years & the
country wa we'll covered with repub-
loan orators proolaiming tho virtues OF
a protective tariff. In every nook and
corner Of the land there was a repub-
lican e%ndeavoring to prove that a high
protective tariff maintained the wages
of the w~orkingman and guaranteed his
prosperity. These same tariff orators
will be with us again this year preach
ing the same doctrine. but they will be
received with far less enthusiasm. The
affair at Homestead ought to be .
self evident truth whatever may have
been the more direct cause, that a high
tariff does not maintain a standard Of
wages, and that under its beneticent in
t~uences the employer can ecure legis-
lation against competition, and at
the same time can cut the wages Of his
~workingmen as he pleases. This is the
protective tariff, pure and simple. It
has not secured peace in the fields Of
labor, it has not prevented strikes. dis
turbances and discomfort where its ad-
yooates promised peace and plenty to all.
Yes, the audiences will receive the
beautiful promises Of high tariff orators
this fall with less enthusiasm and more
grains of salt.

WATCH OUT. GEN. WEED.

For the benefit Of republican office
holders in Montana we reproduce Mr..
Theodore Roosevelt's Interpretation Of
the provision Of the civil service reform
laws regulating political assessments.
1t is this: "F'irst, that no Office holder
shall in. any way solicit or receive
assessments or contributions for politi-
cal purposes from any other office
holder; second, that no person, office
holder or otherwise, shall solicit such
contributions in any federal building;
third, that no office holder shall be in
any way je~opardized in his position for
contributing or refusing to contribute
as he may see fit; and, fourth, that nc
office holder shall give any money to an
other Office holder for the promotion OF
any political object whatever"
It is earnestly hoped that United
States District Attorney Weed will give
special attention to the enforcement of
this law. Indeed, we look for this from
al officer who is SO 'vigilant in protect
ing tho flag Of the United States from
insult. We hope that the federal off
Gals of Montana will not undertake
to give an implied meaning to the
statutes but take them just as they are.
II any federal official is caught contribut-
ing to the republican campaign fund or
soliciting aims to buy gingerbread for
the old republican elephant, let him be
handed over to Marshal Furay and tried
in the United States court.
But first Of all let the argus eyed
United States district attorney watch
out for these offenders even though
they may perhaps, be working for his
in office.

In the July Century Mr.. A. W. Har-
ris. in a discussion on the subject
what Is the Government Doing for the
Farmer?" lays particular stress on the
oleomargarine law. The provisions of
this law are very we'll understood and il
carried out would doubtless fulhll the
object. 1t places a special tax of 5000
upon manufacturers, $3.50 upon whole
sale dealers and S4S upon retail dealers.
This was not intended to prohibit the
manufacture and sale of oleomargarine,
but rather to protect the farmer against
imposition in disposing of his butter.
The trouble is that the law is not en-
orced. 1t Is o matter OF common knowl-
