Gentlemen of the convention, are here today to make platform and ticket that will commend themselves to the consciences and intelligence and judgment of the American people, and we will do it. [Cheers.l What ever is done by this convention will meet the approval of the American people in November of this year. GCheers.l
 For Protection and Reciprocity.
 We have already heard some Of the notes of victory, for this is Republican year. Rhode lsland has spoken. [Applause.l Only Tuesday Oregon spoke, electing three Republican repre- sentatives to the congress of the United States. lCheersl When we get through with this con- vention it's conclusions will be the laws of Re- publican action as they will be the assurance of Republican victory. We for protective tariff and for reciprocity. [Applausel Wepro- pose to take no backward step upon either one of those g1 eat Republican principles tAp- plausel
 We stand for protective tariff because it represents the American home, the American
 nreside, the American family the American girl and the American boy and the highest pos abilities of American citizenship. [Applause.l We propose to raise our money to pay public expenses by taxing the products of other na- tions rather than by taxing the products of our own. The Democratic party believes in direct taxation; that is, in taxing ourselves. We don't believe in that principle.
 The protective tariff not only does everything
 which revenue tariff can do in raising all
 
 more than that. A protective tariff encourages
 and stimulates American industries and gives the widest possibilities to American genius and
 American effort. [Applause.l You can study President Cleveland's utterances from the first one he made in New York, when he said he did not know anything about the tariff, until his last one in Rhode Island and you go away igno- rant and uninformed to what tariff reform means.
 Since the war there have been three great tar if reform bills proposed by the Democratic leaders and no two of them alike, two of them with the same free list, no two of them with the same tariff list, no two of them with the same rates of duty, but all made by the Democratic party upon the same principles, to symbolic and represent tariff reform. You may go to Mir. Mills, you may go to MT. Spring CT, and you will find that they differ totally. Democrats and Tariff Reform. But you may go to the house of represents tives at Washington, winch was elected dis tinctively upon what they call tariff reform issue, with a two-thirds majority in the house, and what do you hndf That they have passed three bills. Let me name them: First, free tin and steel or iron plates on which tin is coated, taxed, the finished product free. Second, free wool to the manufacturer and tariff cloth to the consumer. Third, free cotton ties to the
 cotton states and tariff hoop iron to all the rest of the states That is their symbol of tariff re- you like itf
 This contest that you enter upon is for the maintenance of protection and reciprocity.

 We are to declare ourselves upon other ques- uons here today. We are to declare ourselves on the question of free ballot and fair count. No platform should have been made by a Republican convention that did not reiterate that great constitutional guaranty.

Named by Acclam ation at the Conven-
 tion's Evening Session.
 MINNEAPOLIS, June 10.-The evening ses- sion of the convention was little more than a ratification meeting. The nominee for the vice presidency was selected at meet ing of the New York delegation held an hour before the convention was called to order. By tacit consent the naming of the vice presidential candidate was left to the New York delegation. The New Workers were not long in arriving at the conclusion to present the name of ex-Minister White law Reid. The only other name discussed was that of Vice President Morton, and in the end the agreement upon MT. Reid was unanimous. John c. New said that his preference was the old ticket, Harrison and Morton, but that he was willing to let the New Workers settle it. MT. Reid would be acceptable to him.

FEEDING THE PIG.
The Mingling of Variety of Foods High
" Recommended.

The Mingling of Variety of Foods High
ly Recommended.
Henry Stewart relates that he saw
one case of three pigs fed upon corn
meal, prepared in the best way, to in
duce them to eat largely of it with the
expectation of producing large growth
at an early age. The result was, that
at 1870 days old, these pigs We're mere
squads of fat, almost spherical in form.
and their bones and muscles so weak
that two of them could stand but
moment, and had to sit upon their
haunches yet these pigs only weighed
ninety pounds each-at least forty
pounds less than if they had been fed
proper ration. Mr.. Stewart remarks
that it IS very unslillful feeding that
viii not produce an average growth
Of one pound live weight per day. If
the feeder has plenty of skim milk,
then cooked cornmeal mixed with the
milk makes a very desirable ration
the skim milk being rich in albuminoids
and the mineral elements necessary TO
grow muscular and rangy young ami
NAL Length and breadth of body are
necessary to build rapid growth upon.
This development cannot be attained
without the proper food; but with
either of the rations above recon-
mended and especially the skim
milk and cornmeal ration, the
best result may be reached.
skim milk alone has too large
a proportion of albuninoids to carbo-
hydrates, being about four-ninths of
muscle-forming food, or one of casein
and albumen to 1.25 of milk, sugar and
oil. The proportion should be, as in
whole milk, one to 2,25. If then, one
quart of skim milk is added to one
pound of cooked cornmeal, the starch
and oil of the meal will make the pro-
portion right; and fed in this way a
quart of skim milk is about equal in
food value to pound of cornmeal, or
1l2 pounds of skim milk fed with fifty
six pounds Of cooked cornmeal IS equal
in growth of pork to two bushels OF
corn But if the milk is fed alone, the
heterogeneous elements are in excess, and
not fully utilized. This illustrates the
advantage of minglng variety of ele-
ments in the food ration, and these ele-
mcnts should be selected with refer
caee to the proper balance Of all the
constituents. The food of the young
