s,McKlNLsY's HARDWARE fALLAcY.

To THE EDITOR OF THE WORLD: 1t
Is reported that Major Mckinley stated
in a speech delivered at Newark, N. j.,
last evening that "in 1890 80 per cent of
all the goods on the shelves of hard
ware stores in this country were man
ufactured abroad, but now that posi-
ton is reversed and % per cent of these
goods are manufactured In the United
States"
Major Mckinley has made some very
extraordinary statements during this
campaign, but the one noted above is
probably the "king pin" Of them all.
lie probably omitted to remember that
there are some men now living who are
perfectly familiar with the proportion
of foreign and domestic hardware sold
in this country prior to 1860.
In 1860, and for years prior to that
time, there were large numbers of job
bing hardware houses which did not
sell any foreign hardware whatever,
and many more whose sales or foreign
hardware did not amount to per cent,
and the maxium that any regular job
bing house sold was not over 10 TO 20
per cent, leaving 80 to 50 per cent of
American manufacture.
In 1860, and for years prior to that
time, the American manufacturers of
hardware were in hourishiDg condi-
ton and rapidly driving out foreign
goods and exporting large quantities of
their manufactures to foreign coun-
tries, and no complaint was being
made that the "a per cent ad valorem
tariff then in operation was. other than
perfectly satisfactory.

since 1854, and have been intimately
familiar with the trade ever since, and
know that my statement is substan-
TALLY correct, and that the statement
Of Major Mckinley is entirely incor.

Two years ago the Republicans of
New York endorsed the Democratic
nominee for Judge of the Court of Ap-
peals and this year the Democrats have
returned the compliment and have en-
dorsed Judge Andrews, the Republican
candidate. This successful effort of the
great state of New York to take the
Judiciary out of politics is worthy of
following the country over. Senator
Hill and the Democracy have won
golden opinions by bringing about this
action. Judge Andrews has been a
quarter of a century In the service of
the Court and has won universal conil-
dence and respect,

THAT was a master stroke Of di-
plomacy In the Minnesota Democrats
who have voluntarily substituted four
of the candidates on their electoral
ticket an equal number who are also
nominees OF the Peoples party. This
insures that four of the States votes In
the Electoral College will be cast
against Harrison, and improves an
already good chance that the whole
nine may be. The Republican hope of
getting In their delegates on plurality
vote is early frosted.

"THE person who has no pronounced
opinion for the c0lOred man only on

describes President Harrison.
This "person" is now under arraign-

South but by the farmers, the laborers,

SENATOR HIsoooK of New Y York did
not make any converts to the Republi.

laboring hard, but brought forth no
argument. 1t was the case of very
fair lawyer with a very poor case.
After the speech, those of the discour-
aged Republicans who remained in the
hall, felt that the case was lost. We
do not remember ever to have attended
a more dreary meeting, addressed by
United States Senator.

Lecture on the Passion Play.

An interesting event will occur at Con-
gress Square church on Wednesday even
ing of Passion Week. Having heard and
greatly enjoyed Rev. J. S. Lewis's lecture
on the Passion Play, the pastor deter
mined to secure it's repetition in his
church as great help to the religious
life which it is the aim of the Lenten
season to deepen. Accordingly, in place
of one of the regular services of Passion
Week, Mr.. Lewis will give his now cele-
brated lecture.

An Early Spring.

The first absolute evidence of an early
spring is the blossoming of the Elm.
saw tree in blossom this morning April
Sth! The earliest dates had were April
18th in 1889 and 18th in 1891, while the
latest are May 4th in 1879 and May 18th
in 1873. The average is about April 26th.
This spring is therefore four days earlier
than the earliest in twenty years, and
eighteen days earlier than the average.
The fruit trees may be little later in
proportion, for in 1878, when the elms
were SO late, they came forward with
such rapidity that the cherry blossoms
were only seven days behind them, while
they were thirty days apart in 1882; but
they too can hardly fail to bloom very
early this year. 1t will be seen that the
elm varies forty days ranging from April
sth to May 18th. The cherry ranges
from the first to the thirtieth of May, and
we may expect its blossoms soon after
May day. ADAM NEWBEGIN.

A Steamship was lately saved from disaster
by the aIertness of the lookout and the quick
action to remedy the evil in time.
So it is with disease. The little symptoms IN
dictate danger ahead. Clerks find themselves
thin, PALE and losing their former strength and
steady nerves! Mechanics lose time from their
work, suffering from kidney or liver disease,
stomach or nerve troubled Business men wake
tired, languid after sleepless nights, with dull
head, unsteady nerves, brain and nervous sys-
tenn in weak and irritable condition Women
are weak, tired and dragged out, with shattered
nerves and exhausted vitality. All of us suf-
fer more or less from the weakness and pros
tration Of Spring Debility. The Grip also, has
left in it's train more nervous weakness and
physical prostration than any other known cpl
demic. There is danger ahead:
AU these cases are durable If taken IN time.
Use DIR. Greene's Nervura, the great nerve,
stomach and blood remedy, and restore your
health and avert danger. 1t has saved the lives
of more sufferers than any other remedy, and
will save your health and life If you use it
now. 1t is the best of all spring medicines, and

Grasses for Permanent Sod.

1t is not sufficient to depend on any
mixture of grasses to make pasture.
The best preparation Of the land is Of
the first Importance. Then the grasses
are to be chosen. These may consist OF
orchard grass, twenty pounds; meadow
fescue, meadow foxtail, perennial rye
grass, Rhode Island bent, hard fescue
and red top, of each six pounds. After
these are sown three pounds of red, pea
vine, white and a4sike clovers should be
sown, and the whole lightly covered
with plank smoother, made of three
planks fastened together eighteen inches
apart by chains. This does not cover
the seeds too deep, but some covering is
indispensable. The seeds may be sown
in the spring as early as the land can be
put in good condition. It. would be
better to use the complete manure than
any partial one. .-Rural New Yorker.

Onions for Market.

For winter market, according to Amer.

are best, such as Danvers Yellow, Vel

and transplanting the best varieties are
Prizetaker, Spanish King and White
Victoria. All these had better be sold
as soon as possible after they are fit for
market. Andrew S. Musser says that it
will more than pay to use 500 pounds Of
nitrate of soda on ~ acres. You had
better get 700 pounds for that amount
of land and sow it broadcast, 100 pounds
at dose, and repeat the application
every ten or twelve days, according to
