This IL the direct cost, and the In

each. Rather high priced fish, hear
you say. Messrs, Weir and Williamson
had guns. Alternately with their ilsi .

and succeeded In getting a pair OF
beauties. There was an old diver who
tried their patience considerably. They

The following paragraph from the
Baltimore Sun Is worth the attention
of farmers:
1T is stated that Argentina wheat
onn be grown-l5 bushels to an acre
at profit of 10 cents bushel II sold
in Europe at ~ cents Oushel. The
crop this year. 1t is added. is IS, 900. 600
bushels over and above the needs for
home consumption. In tho eight
months ended August 81 there were
nearly 20. 900, 600 bushels OF the surplus
exported. But one-twentlsth OF tho
urea of Argentina suitable for wheat
growing ID now under cultivation.
When the extension of railroads and
increase of Immigration bring the
land more into use competition with
tho farmers OF the United States will
become closer.
The signs all point TO increased conf
petition in the future from Russia,
India, Australia and Canada, and to the
wisdom OF engaging in the growth OF
articles not likely to he produced in
quantity by these backward countries.
A varied agriculture Will give sureT
profits. The great growth OF our
bowne and cities Implies an increased
demand for things the local producer
may supply. The staples are produced
10 excess. Other products are wanted,
but cannot he had. The farmer who
studies his market and gauges its
wants has tho secret Of success.
In this connection we would add
that the farmers must see that 1t will

The Philadelphia Press In remarking
upon the dead lock In the Senate
says: Among the effective speeches
delivered for repeal is that OF Anthony
Higgins, In which the Delaware Re-
publican senator we'll sustained his
reputation as a clear thinker. strong
reasoner and ready debater.
In this speech MIR. Higgins sets forth
the experimental nature OF the silver
purchases under the Sherman law,
and shows that as an experiment It
has failed and Its present influence 10
only harmful. He iDclines to the
opinion that one cause of our present
trouble 10 an excess OF currency which
continued issues OF treasury notes
only aggravate and Intensity. His
speech was broken by questions from
Mitchell OF Oregon. Teller of Colorado
and Allen Of Nebraska, making the
speech OF MIR. Higgins as reported
largely in the nature OF eolloquy--a
method OF treatment which while In
terferlng with tho continuity OF the
argument often adds largely to the
interest aud value OF the speech.
To the Southern and Western Seua-
tors whose resolution Is shaken and
seats endangered by Popullst uprising
and partlality OF their constituents for
every form OF cheap money and rash
experiment In legislation. Senator
Higgins told some wholesome truth.
Diminishing the discussions as to the
meaning OF the party platforms on
the silver question, Mr., Higgins said:
Il say In all cnndor to my friends
from the South. as well as the West. 1t
seems to me that the mistake on your
part has been that you have not under
taken to educate your people III what
is right. You have followed instead OF
leading you have listened Instead oil
teaching; and when at last your party
comes into unquestloned aud uncheck

government for the first time sine il

thirty years ago. you lind thatres pom
sibllity palsies the hand that you had

responsibilities Of government. are
compelled to come around for what Is

The statement in the report OF Mr..
Tingle of the North American Com.
mercial Company, that poachers killed
at least 800 900 seals last season beside
the 90 900 which were captured, Ia the
greatest argument in favor OF the sup.
preston OF seal poaching that can be
advanced by any one. The seals were
the victims of plan OF slaughter
which allowed them to float or and
die in such numbers as to darken the
waters In some places. Common hui

demand that such wanton cruelty and
waste should be prohibited. 1t would
be stigma, not only on our country
but on tho age, to parmlt such whole
sale slaughter to go unchecked.

Senator Hill In his speech at Brook

tho people that the tariff would be re-
vlsed in the interests of the manufac.
tnrers; that particular care would be
observed to place duty on such artl.
cles az they produce, while the tax
would be removed from such articles
ms they use, so as to lessen the cost of
their production. From his positive
declarations 1t might have been infer
red he was sincere friend OF protec-
ton and the interests OF our country
were safe in Democratic hands. 1t may
be, however, that he spoke without au-
thority and will be unable to red esm
his promises. II our memory Is not
ut fault. the delegates to the Chicago
convention. who held similar views to
those entertained by Mr.. Hill, present

principles. These were voted down

ing that all protection Is q fraud"

were incorporated In the platform and
adopted by an overwhelming ma
iorlty.
MI. Hill may be sincere In his decla-
rations, but we have no assurance that
he can control his party friends In
Congress any more than he did those
In the Convention. In fact. from the
contention in regard to the silver
question, neither he nor the President
has much influence with the majority
of the party. 1t was the bold declara-
mon In their platform that frightened
the manufacturers and business men of
The county into contracting their
operations, and If the makers OF that
platform should live a hundred years,
they will not be able to repair the in
jury that has boon sustained in conse.
qusnce OF their course and the appar-
ent approval thereof by q majority of
the voters of the country at the en-
suing election.
We say apparent majority. for many
OF the men who voted the Dem ocratic
tlcket. are protectlonists, and we are
satisfied that II party feeling could be
eliminated. they would sustain that
policy by their votes. The business
Of the country may partially revive
In order to meet the demands for
clothing, fuel and produce, but we
cannot have any great activity until
the tariff question Is settled and tho
people generally shall have employ
ment. Therefore the sooner Congress
acts on the matter, the Iettor, as the
people will then have to accommodate
themselves to the circumstances.
