Mr.. Ballentine, a wealthy truck far
mer of Norfolk, Va, proposes to erect
a Widows Home," at cost of $75,
600, on plans already prepared by a
Philadelphia architect. Mr.. Ballen-
tine, who is almost millionaire, earn
ed all his money at truck farming.
A eateer in which industry, thrift and
thoughtful generosity thus go hand in
hand Is rare enough to merit general
admiration; and the Ballentine Wild
.ows' Home, aside from its value as a
public charity, will be lasting tribute
to the spirit Of true philanthropy that
has actuated its founder.

Committees of the Maryland and
Virginia Legislature will shortly meet
on the Lower Chesapeake in order TO
inspect the oyster grounds and to de-
wise policy on which the States may
unite with view to fostering the oys-
ter industry. Each Of these States is
now paying more to maintain an oyster
navy than it is receiving from oyster
licenses. Harmonious laws would not
only add vastly to the wealth of the
State, but would develop to its Just
proportions an interest which has thus
far singtlarly failedto receive the at,
tention justly due to 1t The fact that
Maryland and Virginia, with 640, 00t
acres of oyster land, the best and larg

Nincome than Rhode Island does from
only 1000 acres, tells very plai:

Large ships were not unknown to the
ancients, and some of the most roomy
attained dimensions equal to ships Of
modern times. Nevertheless, they
were unmanageable monstrosities, al
most at the mercy of wind and wave,
and utterly unfit to cope with the fury
OF q hurricane. Doubtless We are in
debted to travellers tales for the de-
tailed descriptions that survive the
lapse Of ages. Constantius conveyed
from Heliopolis to Rome an obelisk
weighing l,5oo tons. and, in addition to
this l~ong-coveted monolith, the ship
carried about 1890 tons of pulse slowed
about the smaller end Of the obelisk, III

In 26S b. &. Archimedes devised q
marvellous ship for Hero of Syracuse.
Her three lofty masts lad been brought
from Britain, whereas our ships masts
are of iron, or obtained from New Yea
land or from Nancouver's Island. Lux
uriously- fitted sleeping apartments
abounded, and one OF her banqueting-
halls was paved with agate and costly
Sicilian stone. Other floors were cum
ningly inlaid with scenes from the
Iliad.
Stables for many horses, ponds
stocked with live fish, gardens watered
by artificial rivulets, and hot baths were
provided for use or amusement.
Ptolemy Philopater possessed a nuptial
yacht, the Thalamegon. 3l2 feet long
and As feet deep. A graceful gallery,
supported by curiously carved columns,

what the Farmer Would Get.

When Mr.. Springer said that the loss
Of revenue involved in his proposition
to make wool free, and to reduce the
duties on wool manufactures, would
probably be made good by larger impor-
tation at the lower rates, he set forth
clearly the purpose Of his party to ruin
Anne rican wool growing as we'll as wool
manufacturing. Placing raw wool on
the free list, and scaling down duties on
woolens and worsteds, as proposed in
his bin now before Congress, would re-
duce the revenues of the government
about $4,000, 600. To make up this de-
iciency would require an additional i'm
portation OF wool manufactures to the
value of $50, OO,OOO. They would con-
tain from 2O0,0O0.GOO to ESQ., GOO 600
pounds Of raw wool, which would mar
row the American farmers market by
that amount.
II importations of raw wool were
maintained at last years fipure-and
under free wool they probably would
increase - 100000 O pounds would
conc in manufactured. Add the
wool crnsuined in normal importa-
ton OF manufactures, $43, 900 worth
last year. and we have 10000, 600
pounds more, Or nearly 600,000.00

That is, the price to the foreigner was
forced down after the increased duty
was levied. Last December he wal
selling Tor $3.22 . box, plates upon
which the duty was $2.37, whereas in
in April he had sold similar plates, up
on which the duty was BIOS, for $4.22
box. In other words, when the duty
was raised to $l.29 a box the price
dropped to $l.l0-a way foreigners have
of paying our taritis.
1t was the Welsh tia-plate trust which
sent prices up months before there was
any change in the tin-plate tariff. Its
members met in council and deter
mined, according to the published re-
ports Of the proceedings, to make a box
of tin plates "a rather costly commodi-
ty" to Americans. This determination
was forthwith carried out, and we had
to submit to the extortion.

this to say about President Harrison's
administration: F..
Since Secretary of State James G.
Blaine has so positively declined the pre-
ferred honor, I see no way for your party
but TO renomlnate President Harrison. And
why not? Hasn't he given you a most
eminently clean administration? Hasn't
he had less political and administrative
scandals than any administration for
years? He is a thoroughly clean man; a
descendant Of pure ancestry, and one in
whom no one can find the least faint
whether personal. political, or official.

Frss Wool ~. Protscssd wool.

Renewing the line OF attack begun on
the tariff BY Cleveland four years ago,
the Democratic ways and means COM
mittee has brought in . bill taking every
particle Of protection off wool and pro-
viding for absolute free trade in that
product.
The issue is thus squarely made be-
tween free trade on one side and pro-
lection on the other.
ASH to make plain beyond all gues-
ton the nature of the free trade assault,
it il trained on n Of the greatest in
terests of this country, extending, as the
wool industry does, from Vermont 10
to Texas and Oregon.
As the issue between free trade and
protection il thus made to turn on the
wool duties, the people fortunately have
before them the practical workings Of
the two systems during the last twenty
five years, the United States having had
protection for wool during that time,
while the European countries have tried
the free-wool doctrine. Here is the re-
suit:

1t need only be added that wooden
goods have been steadily cheapened to
consumers until the kinds in common
use are as low in price here as in Eu-
rope.
With the tremendous contrast De-
tween the growth of the wool interest
in this country under protection, and
Its decline In Europe under free trade,
how does II come that any party can
have the bfazen audaCity to propose
The free listing of the farmers wool?
The dangerous and destructive ten
denotes of the Democratic party were
never more clearly displayed than in
the effort 10 take protection away from
this great American interest, and bring
In down to the level of free trade Eu-

ing down, and never building up, the
Democratic organization appears before
the people again in its true colors.
