POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

The republican organs ought to
deal very %leniently with the rush of Of
hceseehers at Washington, in consider
alton of the fact that their own admin
lstration provoked it by filing every
post in the p1blic service with a red-hot
republican.-N. Y. World.
When the present administra-
ton dismisses a relative of some promi-
nent republican the z. o. p. organs set
up a concerted howl. When the present
administration appoints a relative of
some prominent democrat the Q. o. D.
organs also set mp a concerted howl. In
the former case they call it 'spoils." In
the latter they call it 'nepotism. -
Louisville Courier-Journal.
The present administration is act
ing to a greater extent than usual upon
the principle of promoting experienced
members of the consular and diplomatic

said-and rounding enough to clean
itself" as Telford said; while the fric-

REVISION OF THE TARIFF.
Industrial Interests Improving Under
Democratic Rule,

Reports from various manufacturing
c~entcrs OF the country show how hvpo-
critical was the cry raised during the
campaign Of last fall. that an adoption
of the democratic tariff idea meant a
virtual humiliation of our great indus
trial interests. The Carnegies are ex.
pending some two million dollars in the
enlargement and improvement of thei,
great plant at Homestead, and a sig
nltlcant feature in the case is the fact
that a largely increased producing ca
pacity in several departments is among
the contemplated changes. All the
vast sum to be expended is with a view
to meeting a greatly increased demand.
Like faith in the business future is
manifest from other important locali-
ties, and all this despite the terrible
disasters that the people were told
would follow, upon a retirement of the
republican party from power. 1t is well
understood that in the coming revision
the iron and steel schedule Of the tariff
Will be changed throughout. 1t is the
expectation among the producers them
selves that iron ore will be placed upon
the free list and that the duty upon pig
iron will be greatly reduced. 1t is also
anticipated that from the duty on the
finished products there will be taken q
considerable portion in addition to that
corresponding to the reduction upon
the raw material.
The manufacturers understand, as
they have understood all along, that |
such u revision Of the tariff will not |
render it impossible for them to do
business On a profitable basis. On the
other hand, many of them are satisfied
that their business will be improved by |
the increased demand for their products.
They are convinced that all existing
difficulties will receive due considera-
ton, and that the revision will be so
made by congress that they may adjust
themselves to the changing situation.
| hey as well as the consumers will be
benefited by the proposed changes, and
the engagements are being made only
N anticipation of the increased trade
will result from the practical APP
plication Of democratic principles as
affecting the tariff question.-Detroit

HOW TO MAKE CHEESE.
A Simple Process Which Insures Satisfac-
tory Results.


We are asked for the process of
cheese making. After the milk is
properly ripened, heat it to 50 degrees
in the summer and 81 degrees in the
spring and fall during cool weather.
After the proper heat is attained, add
the rennet in quantity to coagulate
milk in from SO to 80 minutes. Then
cut the curd in cubes of about three.
eighths of IN inch each, then stir gen.
tly 10 to Is minutes, then apply hea.
slowly at first and raise the heat to
from 30 to 90 degrees, when the heat
can be raised rapidly to 9s degrees.
when the whey can be drawn. Then
stir the curd gently until it begins to
pack. When sufficient acid is deyel-
oped in the curd and cooled down to So
degrees, grind and salt, about two and
a half pounds of salt to 1000 pounds
milk. Then the curd is put to press,
Apply the pressure gradually until the
whey is pressed out. The cheese should
be in press about "a hours. The curing
roc m should be Of a uniform tempera.
ture of about 20 degrees. After the
cheese is properly cured, If not mar.
keted, it should be placed in a cool
room SO the curing process will be re.
tarded. Curing rooms should be so
constructed that the temperature can
be invariably kept at from go to rs de.

BEATS M'klNLEYlSM.
heNico's High Tariff and Starvation
Wages,


Mexico has a higher tariff than that
Of the United States. But enlightened
nations do not regard the economic
| policy of Mexico rs exceptionally wise.
/ Probably not even Mr.. Mckinley would
J be willing to admit that the Mexican
+ tariff should ne taken as a model.
Attention is directed to this subject
by a dispatch from Washington stating
some Of the changes recently made in
duties on imports by the Mexican gov
eminent, Most of the changes made
are in the way of reductions, but there
are a number of important increases,
made on lines of protection. Stations,
which have been charged $50 each, are
hereafter to be admitted free, The
duty on carried wool has been reduced
from Is cents to Il cents per kilo. but
where changes have been made in the
duties on fabrics containing wool they
have been in the direction of increase.
On tobacco the duty has been raised
from $l.25 to $3.50 per kilo, and on
cigars from $500 TO s.. On cotton fab
rics the rate has been raised from 81 to
ST per kilo. And SO on.
These statements do not convey TO
the general reader a very clear idea OF
the actual burden of Mexican duties.
\ table recently published by the bu-
reau of statistics, to which allusion has
already been made in these columns,
shows the ad valorem equivalents of
the duties on the various classes of
goods imported into Mexico for the
fiscal year ended June so, 1889. From
this table If appears that the value of
free goods was SIS. 500. $50. and that of
dutiahle, S26.51S. G64. The amount of
collected was S22.4 1868. The
average rate on dutiable, therefore.
was nearly 80 per cent The average
on dutiable goods imported into this
country during the fiscal year 1892 I'M
der the Mckinley act was iS.7l per
cent. The following, compiled from
the table published by the bureau,
shows the amount of duties collected on
different classes of articles and the ad
equivalents of the duties on
each class, Some serious errors in the
calculation of percentages have been
corrected, otherwise the figures are
directly from the table:

directly from the table:

1t will be een that about twice as
much revenue is collected from cotton
goods as from any other source, and
that the average rate Of duty on such
goods was 9S.1 per cent. in 1889, and
yet the rate on such goods has been
raised from 81 to So per kilo. or 80 per
cent, This would make the rate equal
to about las per cent. or higher even
than the enormous rate on wooden
goods, There is Il very strong prob
ability that the exports will fall off
largely under the higher duties and
that the evenue will be diminished
rather than increased.
One of the economic effects of the
enormous duties is seen in the compare
lively small amount of imports. This
amount is about $40, 900, 900. or about
s3.45 per head of population. Our i'm
ports for the fiscal year amounted to
about 1916, GOO. 900, or sl3.47 per head of
population. The Mexican duties aver
age over % per cent. higher than ours,
n we import nearly three times as
much per capita. If our duties were
reduced one-half our imports would
probably be more than doubled, while
home production would be largely in
creased.
High wages cannot be offered as an
excuse for the enormous tariff rates of
Mexico. The rates of wages in Mexico
are much lower than the average Eu-
ropean rates. In fact, they come about
as near as possible to starvation rates.
There is ''pauper labor in Mexico if
anywhere, and yet no American manu-
%facturer pretends to fear Mexican com
petition, 1t is true that Mexican labor
is exceedingly inefficient, but our Nc
economists refuse to make any
allowance for the greater relative eff
