JUST ONE INSTANCE.
How Protsc tion Works I'm the State of
Kansas.

Topeka, which is in Kansas, takes
first prize at the worlds fair for the
production of vitrified brick, which is
near to the best, if not absolutely the
best. paving material Hutchinson,
which also is In Kansas, carried off the
honors against all competitors for re-
fined table salt-and England was
among the competitors. Topeka and
Hutchinson have material enough at
command to supply all the United
States with paving material and salt:
all that they need is more factories
and enlarged facilities OF transporta-
ton.
Vitrified brick is protected by tariff
duty of forty-five per cent, salt by q
slight duty. When there was no duty
on salt, Michigan-Kansas was then in
territorial condition-had to nurse a
feeble life in its salt industries by a
bounty derived from state taxes, and
salt sold at one dollar and sixty cents
per barrel. Under protection the salt
industry of Michigan and of Kansas
has grown to gigantic proportions, and
salt sells at thirty cents barrel Wit
rified brick is manufacture created by
tariff, and certain to perish if tariff
protection is removed.
The people engaged in the manu-
facture of vitrified brick and salt con-
sumo farm products, but do not raise
them. That is to say, they increase
the demand for farm products When
the demand is great the price is high
Popullst farmers complain of the low
price OF their products; that is to say,
they admit THAT the production is in ex-
cess of the demand. Yet they join
hands with southern planters, who de-
sire cheapness in northern farm prod
ucts, to abolish tariff that protects
industries that increase the demand for
food. The populist policy is peculiarly
irrational Chicago Inter Ocean.

FATTENING FOR MARKET.
Weed Out the Less Promising Birds at an
Early Date.

Early Date.
1t is useless to try and raise all your
fowls for the prize pen. Some of them
are bound to be culls So the best plan
is to weed out the less promising stock
at an early date.
Remove such birds-and especially
all the imperfectly feathered or i'll
shaped cockerels-from among their
mates. Place them, fifteen or twenty
together. in closed coop. that is clean
and comfortable, for them to eat and
rest in, without crowding each other.
Give them fresh water to drink, with
little cayenne pepper thrown into it.
two or three times a week, and feed
them all they will eat up clean three
times a day, upon boiled corn and
wheat meal with potatoes "a little
salted), one part of each; into which,
while hot, stir a pound of common
lard. beef tallow, or chambers scraps
perfectly sweet, mind), to six or eight
quarts of mash.
Feed this out when warm-have a
basin of coarse gravel handy, which
they will eat all they need of, to assist
digestion-occasionally mix little
powdered charcoal in this soft food
(which latter is an excellent purifier.
and guards against the souring of
their food in the crop and in two or
three weeks your birds will be at their
best. Kill, dress and market them, and
thus make the wisest disposal you can
make of all your surplus or undesirable
fowls.
While this process is going on, says
Grange Homes, it will be observed that
the birds are in close, compact coops,
open only in front. These may be
placed in the barn, or anywhere most
convenient for the time being. They
will not suffer thus in a body from the
cold The coops should be set on the
ground, with straw or leaves for a
flooring. The heat of the fowls bodies
will serve to keep each other warm
enough in the three-sided closed coops.
They have no exercise, and they have
nothing to do but to eat, rest, sleep
and grow fat. This method is simple,
economical and the least troublesome.
In twelve to twenty-foar days, at the
outside, fowls thus treated should be
in their best condition for Strengthening

Dividing the Pasture.

One excellent plan for keeping up the
fertility of the pasture land is to divide
the pastures into two fields, giving the
cattle the advantage of a portion of
the pasturage, leaving one field to
grow and so remain until spring. This
method simply protects the pasture
from close cropping, which is sure to
cause exhaustion at some period, as
every time the cattle Craze over the
pasture it is equivalent to so many
mowings of the grass. BY protecting
the pasture there is loss of its use at
this season, but a greater longevity of
the grasses of the pasture is secured.
The best season for the renewal of
pastures is in the fall, and more
growth and greater density can be had
by allowing the pasture grass to grow
and thicken than to attempt to reseed
the pasture early in the spring.

GROWING IN pISEAvOR.
Cleveland Suffering Through the Conduct
of His Attorney Gencrai.

II
| of His Attorney Gencral.
| When President Cleveland discovered
and appointed Richard Olney TO be at
torney general of the United States,
repu blican newspapers suggested that
| the gentleman's close connection with
| railroad interests made his selection
unwise. The president, however, re-
| fused to listen to the warning.
1t was supposed that a man who as
| sumed the position of prosecuting Of
| ticer for the government, charged with
| the duty of seeing that the interstate
| commerce laws are enforced, would lose
no time in putting an end at least to his
active participation in railroad affairs
1t was taken for granted that Mr..
Cleveland would insist upon this.
At the recent meeting of the stock
holders of the Boston & Maine railroad,
the system which has absorbed nearly
all the lines north of Boston, Attorney
General Olney was reelected a director.
Not only that, he was present in person
and took an active part in the discus
sion OF the roads affairs. 1t was evil
dent that his interests are identical
with those of the road.
BY his continued and un blushing &C
tivity in railroad matters, Mr.. Olney has
not only destroyed his reputation as a
man of delicacy and honor but he has
brought additional discredit upon an
administration which had already a
load greater than it could carry.
The feeling in New England is ex-
pressed by the mugwump Providence
Journal in its comments on the presi-
dents failure to demand Olney's resig-
nation from the directory of the road.
The Journal says:
In not requiring this Of Mr.. Olney, the pres
ident has shown himself Indifferent to the high
er reputation of his administration and no
more anxious than any common politician to
protect the public service from suspicion on
the point OF integrity and from the possibility
of disgraceful scandals The Olney affair, add
ed to the Van Allen matter, the letting of the
post offices and the consular service and other
things of that sort must make plain to the
dullest observer what some time ago became
apparent TO the keener students of politics,
that Mr. Cleveland has given up all pretense of
conforming TO exceptionally high standards of
public life or OF especially consulting the ideas
Of the more decent and honorable people of the
country. In view OF these things 1t cannot be
surprising that. as was painted out in these
columns yesterday, reputable and intelligent
citizens ere day by day showing growing in
difference toward President Cleveland and his
party associates. He might almost be said to
have already become totally Indifferent to
them"
Is it possible that they are finding
out at last what sort of a man Grover
Cleveland really is?
These remarks, from a newspaper
which has supported Mr.. Cleveland
faithfully in the past, betray an aston
lshing change of sentiment among the
Independents. Journal

FRESH FARM NOTES.

HAUL out manure as it accumulates
and spread on the fields. Do not let il
pile up and fire fang.
CLEAN up rubbish about the farm.
Bits of rails. limbs of trees, ends OF
boards, etc, will soon be covered with
snow.
IN building temporary corn cribs
have the floor at least foot above the
ground. SO rats and mice cannot harbor
under it.
PATCH up the cracks in the chicken
house, cow barn, sheep shed, etc.
Cold winds are detrimental to stock
raising.
GET potatoes in the cellar or pit as
the time is nearly here wher cold nights
will injure them. See that the storing
place is well ventilated.
WHEN the machinery used in putting
in the wheat crop is needed no longer,
carefully clean, grease bright metal
surfaces and put away in dry place.
IN selecting seed corn remember
that the varieties will cross-fertilize
at long distances. Select seed from
corn which has grown apart from other
varieties
The best method of keeping roots
where one has no regular root cellar is
to bury on dry ground. Cover with two
feet of earth and see that all water that
falls on the pit can get off readily.
LAYING out and putting in tile drains
is now in order, where the ground is not
too hard. Better have all the main
lines surveyed and the tile leveled be-
fore covering. Imperfectly laid drains
are useless.

How to File q Hand Saw.

In filing a hand saw considera BILE
skill is necessary so the teeth will be
uniform in size, and cut well without
running to the right or left of the
board. The hand which holds the file
must be guided By reason and expert
ence, else the file will bear upon one
tooth more than upon the other when
the stroke is made, with the result that
one tooth will be cut away while the
other is not reduced, and this inequali-
ty in filing soon becomes apparent if
the same person and his eccentricity
continue to file the saw. The best
way to remedy saw that is out of or
der is to screw it in a wise with a
straight edge, and file all the teeth to
an average height by bringing them to
a level on the straight edge. When
this has been done the straight edge
may be removed and the file used in
such way as to equalize the shape
and length of the teeth. If totally ig-
norant of how to shape the teeth, fol-
low the filing of saw of similar pat
tern that has been handled by person
of experience.

THE CELLAR CONSPIRACY.
Democratic Plotting Against the Prosper
ity of the People.

| ny VI thc copfos
Day after day the democratic menu
bers of the ways and means committee
of the house of representatives locked
themselves up in an obscure committee
room in the depths of the basement of
the capitol at Washington and devoted
themselves to the work of destroying
the protective tariff. They were pre-
| pairing tariff for revenue only" bill
(which will of course be called the
"Wilson bill, after the chairman of
the committee. when it sees the light.
The republican members of the commit
tee were excluded from the room. Each
democratic member carried key, by
means Of which he obtained access;
the door was kept jealously locked so
that no prying reporter, no inquisitive
repu blican. could obtain an inkling OF
what was going ON.
| The place and the manner of pro-
| cedure had a certain fitness. A locked
room in q cellar is a fitting place
wherein to carry on the work of the
| destruction of American industries
! We wonder If this handfulcof southern
bOurbons and northern doughface DEM
Ucrats realized the magnitude of the in
terests with which they were dealing?
The New York Press figures them up
from the official estimates,as follows:
Cpaital invested 70 600 600 900
Annual value of products e,OO0OOOOOo
Number of persons employed...... 100000
The number of workers directly en-
ployed in manufacturing and mining is
six millions. Taking into the calcula-
ton their families, there are at least
twenty million men, women and chill
dren directly dependent upon these two
great lines of industry for their living.
How will the work that was shaping in
the capitol cellar affect these millions
of Americans? 1t was cutting down the
duties levied on imported articles
This will mean that there will be an
enormous increase in the sale of foreign
made goods of all kinds. Every dol
lars worth more that is boua hit abroad
means dollars worth less manufac-
tured here. Hence, there will be less
manufacturing, less opportunity for
labor.
Again, It is as plain as pikestaf
that, If protection be removed. the for
eign and American manufacturers will
Dt pldceU on the same level. Inc one
who can sell the cheapest will get the
trade. Wages are lower abroad than
here; hence it costs less to manufacture
goods there, as labor is the largest
item of production. Therefore the for
eigner can undersell the American
manufacturer. The latter must then
either close his factory or reduce the
cost of productions; and to do this he
must reduce the wages paid. So the al
tentative to the workingman will be,
either no work or much less wages.
Lower wages means a lower scale of
living, as to food, clothing, and all the
necessaries and comforts of life.
This is the work that was going on
In the cellar of the capitol. A band
of conspirators were there shaping
bill which would cut wages and give
less work to the masses of the Ameri
can people They were conspiring
against the prosperity, the comfort
and the happiness of the toiling masses.
