Prenarn for tho Faira.

To be up with the times we must look
ahead and make preparation for the
future and shape our affairs tomeet the
issue. The trotting horsemen fit their
horses for the campaign so as to inure
them to the work that Is before them.
Suppose we all take a leaf out of their
book and go and do likewise. At some
of the fairs little provision Is made for
the exhibition of stock, and the pre-
m1ums are few and limited in amount,
but that need not deter those who
have stock for sale and that is worth
exhibiting from taking 1t to the fairs
il only for advertising purposes, and to
show the farmers of the district what
good stock really Is capable OF. Nor
need we confne our exhibit TO stock,
for in many cases samples of grain,
fruits, vegetables and grasses are even
more attractive to the farmers of 3 coun'
ty.-Colman's Rural World.

PROTECTION IN PRACTICE.
The Tariff on Steel Rails Has Enable
the Makers to Fix the Price.

The Tariff on Steel Rails Has Enabled
the Makers to Fix the Price.
The Engineering and Mining Journal
gives an exceedingly valuable illustra-
ton Of the manner in which protec-
tive tariff raises its benefciaries above
the operations Of the natural law of
trade.
The illustration concerns steel rails,
which are now "a ton higher than they
were in 1885, although the cost of pro
ductiOn and the tariff tax are less and
the demand is slight. The command
of the market, by reason of the tariff
on rails and the ownership of the Besse-
mer patents, has enabled the railmakers
to fix arbitrarily the price of their prod
ucts,
The American manufacturers make
much of the fact that improved ma
chinery has greatly increased their out
put, and The Journal estimates that the
cost Of producing steel rails, when the
manufacturer makes his own pig, can
not exceed SEQ ton. In 1885 steel rails
sold at SEQ ton, and the cost Of Besse-
Alei piS diOilo Wds SlO. AZ SOU IOu
the profits on the annual output of steel
rails is necessarily between $4,000, 900
and $12, 100000.
That the protective tariff gives this
enormous dividend to the makers, who
instead of increasing wages are trying
to cut them down, is shown by an ex-
animation Of English prices. In May.
1892, English rails sold for 1914. The
duty on this, 1914, would make their
price sac. SO, not counting freight and in
surance. 1t is clear therefore that $50
is the price at which the English rails
can be kept ont. While the English
price has fallen since 1885 from 500. II q
ton to $l9.44, the price Of English pig
has risen from 5000 ton to $l2.15.
In other words, the English maker
pays Sl.43 more for his pig and gets
1913 less for his rails. At the same
time, while the price Of American rails
advanced from sec to $50 ton. the
price Of American pig fell from sl7 TO
$l4 ton, so that the American maker
paid So less for his pig and got 81 more
for his product.
This gain he keeps for himself.-New
York World.

THE PLUM CURCuLlO.
Life History and Habits OF One OF inc
Worst Of Orchard Pests.

Worst Of Orchard Pests.
This is the worst enemy OF the plum
grower as it causes the fruit to fall
before maturity, often completely de-
yastatinp whole orchards and neighoo r-
hoods. The adult insect, seen at c, Is a
small, round, grayish or blackish
beetle, 1-5 inch long. 1t appears In the
spring when the trees are in blossom,
and feeds upon the foliage and flowers
until the fruit Is well set. 1t then at
tacks the young plums, deposits us
eggs and cuts crescentshape mark In
the skin. The eggs soon hatch INTO
grubs which feed upon the pulp, grad
ually working their way in toward the
pit. In a few weeks the grub, a, Is
fully grown, the plum falls to the
ground, larva enters the soil and
changes to the pupa, b. In 2 or 8
weeks there is another change and the
perfect beetle is the result. Some few
enter the ground so late that they hi
bernate as pupe. emerging the follow
ing summer. There is only one brood
In a season. The females OF this fami-
ly often deposit from $50 to 200 eggs in
q single day.
Spraying is the most effective method
of destroying this pest. Paris green
mixture, ounces to 10 or 80 gallons OF
water, sprayed on the plum trees 8 or
times season, beginning when the
blossoms first commence to fall, and
repeating at intervals of 10 days, kills
the adult insects rather than the Larvae.
Another method Of fighting them is by

shape to make As per cent. on this same
amount. They add in their prospectus
that "prices upon cutlery have never
vet reached those which could have been
asked by the increased rate of tariff"
That their claims are not extravaganza Is
evident from the announcement in The
House Furnishing Goods Weekly OF
Aug. A, 1892, that "the Southington
Cutlery company, of Southington, Conn.,,
has declared quarterly dividend OF :
per cent" 1t is clear that the increased
duty was obtained under false pre-
lenses, if not by actual fraud. And
these are the class of men who reap the
benefits of McKinleyism.
Notice now how these spoils are d.
yided between the manufacturers and
their employees. The Republican press
points with pride to three companies
the Canastota Knife company, the New
York Knife company and the Thomaston
Knife company, employing altogether
about 400 hands-that have advanced
wages about 10 per cent. 1t is true that
since 1890 about three-fourths Of the
EMPLOYEES in these factories have OBJ
tanned advances that will average be-
tween and 10 per cent. These advances
have been secured only because the en-
ployees were organized and struck or
threatened to strike for higher wages.
Strikes are now on in three other fac
tories. But suppose that all of these
400 employees have had their wages adj
vanced 10 per cent. and that they earn
an average of 5000 each year (the H.
tual average is much Less. Their total
benefit from the new tariff admitting
that it made the advance possible) would
thus be less than $24 900. The yearly
product Of all the factories is worth from
81 800 900 to 80 GOO, 900. The 80 per cent
advance in prices then increases the
profits of the manufacturers about $780,
600. That is, the manufacturers have
retained 95 per cent. of the spoils and
grudgingly yielded up per cent. to the
wage earners.
The American user of pocketknives
has taken $500, 900 out of one pocket and
made it present to these foreigners for
the privilege of carrying an American
knife" in another pocket, and this in
addition to similar amount bestowed
upon the same foreigners under the 80
per cent. duty prior to 1890. If this be
the best that Mckinley can do for us it
is time we were finding it out. 1t will
be money in our pockets some day.

WHO PAYS The TARIFFl
A Convincing Letter from n Washington
nrI,

A Convincing Letter from n Washington
Street Car Driver.
There is street car driver in Wash
ingeon named Doran, says the Washing
ton correspondent of the st. Louis Re-
public. He is native of Ireland and has
been in this country about six years. He
is pretty bright fellow, is close reader
of the newspapers and careful observe
of everything that is going on. During
the past year Mike has been paying a
good deal of attention to the tariff ques-
ton, and has been led away by the theo-
ries of the Republicans that protection
was good thing for the poor man.
An incident occurred within the past
week or ten days that has made Mike
somewhat skeptical. He had been told,
by the Republicans of course, and by
Mckinley in particular, that the foreign
ers paid our taxes. Mckinley said so in
his Minneapolis speech and Mike be-
lieved him at the time. About ten days
ago cousin of Mikes arrived in this
country. He brought present from
Mikes mother TO her son, consisting Of
twelve pairs Of wooden socks which she
herself knitted for him. 1t is safe to
say that the value of the socks was
about twenty cents a pair, but when
Mikes cousin arrived at the custom
house he was assessed twenty-five cents
q pair tariff duty on socks. When he
came to Mike he showed him his receipt
from the custom house officers for the
three dollars that he had paid for the
dozen socks, and Mike of course had to
refund the money to him. This set
Mike thinking, and on suggestion of a
friend with whom he conferred he ad-
dressed the following letter to Governor
Mckinley on the subject:
DEAR SIR-l read your speeches in the house
Of representatives during the Fifty-first con-
gress, when the tariff bill was under discussion,
in which you asserted and made mo believe
that the foreigners paid our taxes. | also read
your speech as presiding officer OF the Repub-
lican national convention at Minneapolis, In
which you asserted again that the foreigner
paid our taxes. My mother sent me dozen
pairs OF socks from Ireland q few days ago.
each pair being worth twenty cents. My
cousin, who brought them to me, had to pay
twenty-five cents q pair tariff duties on the
socks at the New York custom house. Will
you please be kind enough to tell me to what
foreign government shall apply to have that
three dollars refunded to meP If the foreigner
pays the tax, as you say he does, am entitled
TO get my money back, but do not know just
exactly Ia what foreign government to apply
aud hope you will be kind enough To inform
u e by return mail. MICHAEL DORIAN.
This is very pretty little object les
son, and should not be lost sight Of by
people who are laboring to understand
the tariff question.

On leading styles the advance always
exceeds 20 and in some cases reaches 20
per cent. The advances are likely to
continue until knives begin to be i'm
ported in large quantities, On many
STYLES the duty was increased from 80 to
100 per cent, but on some styles the
tariff limit has already been reached,
Q. e., a small three bladed knife that
used to be imported at cost of 81. % per
dozen and sold at % cents each on the
street, now costs $3.50 to a.. 80 per dozen
here and sells for 35 cents each on the
street, and from 80 to so cents each in
stores. On another style which used to
cos: $3.50 the duty (105 per cent? is pro-
hibitive; but the blades and handles are
imported separately and the knife is solo
here for $2.2j per dozen. Thus imports
have ALREADY checked the advance on
some styles.
The Manufacturers association is prac-
tically trust so far as regulating prices,
demanding high protective duties and
keeping down wages are concerned.
Many of the larger manufacturers, how.
ever, have been in favor Of q much
stronger organization, capable of regu.
lating production and of sustaining high
prices and profits. A few months ago
four Of the largest firms agreed to CON-
bine under the name of the United
States Cutlery company, with capital
Of $1,600,000. Their prospectus said;
"The business of these companies oman.
featuring IS per cent. Of all the pocket
cutlery made here) has steadily increased
year by year, and the net profits Of these
companies for period of over three
years are largely in excess of the sum
necessary to have paid per cent divi-
dends upon 100000 preferred stock"
1t is also claimed that the new company
could pay dividends of 8 per cent. on
$500, 900 and Is per cent. on the other
100000
According to the testimony given in
1890 before the ways and means com.
mittee the combined Investment Of these
four companies was only $500, 900. The
manufacturers then put on long faces
and tried to make the committee believe
that the pocket cutlery industry was
about to expire under o so per cent.
duty. It now appears that they were
then making "largely in excess" of 1(
per cent. upon their actu:.l capital
(SI0O, 00O), and that they are now in
