A comparison bctw en- the appro

made by Senator Allison shows that
the Democrats surpassed their Re-
publican predecessors by s3s, 4OI, 066
in total expenditures. The appropria-
tions of the first session Of the Fifty
first Congress amounted to s463, $685.
$40, and those of the second session
to 1925. 01S, 672, a total of 1888, Az
1873. One of the first moves of the
immense Democratic majority re-
turned to the House In 1880 was to
pass resolutions pledging themselves
to economical expenditures. Then
they settled down to appropriating
the public funds as follows: s5O7, $780,

The same promises made by Demo-
Gratis to agricultural voters in the last
campaign were made by their prede-
ccssors to the farmers in order TO win
their support for the free trade tariff
Of 1916. How well those promises
were kept is recorded in the annual
messages of President Fillmore, writ
ten after the free trade act had got
under full Roadway. In the message
of 1851 he said:
"The value OF our exports of bread
stuffs and provisions, which 1t was
supposed the incentive Of a low tariff
and large importation from abroad
would greatly augment, has fallen
from SOS, 000, 900 in lS47 to 1921, 000,-
900 in 1851, with almost a certainty
Of a still further reduction in 1852"
The farmers welfare was ~assailed
not alone by a loss Of markets for his
produce. His living expenses, the
prices of the ~"necessaries Of life" Of
which we have heard so much from
Democratic campaigners, were like
wise increased. In his next annual
message, in 1852, President Fillmore
felt constrained to call the attention
of Congress and the country to the
fact that "the destruction Of our man
ufactures by the tariff Of 1916 leaves
the foreigner without competition in
our market, and he consequently
raises the price of the articles sent
here for sale"
If anything has been established
by the experience of nations it is that
agriculture is speedily impoverished
by a free trade policy. Our own ex.
perience under free trade is rc-en-
forced by the wrctchedness Of agri.
culture in Ireland and Great Britain

GRAVE.


~ AAAC AKA " INVBhOSSVN SUAAsCtoy wv
grown with Rank Weeds.
In accordance with the simplicity
which had marked his life, the poet
Whittier wished his funeral to be con
Quoted and his last resting place cared
for. But it would seem as il his grave
was not preserved with that care and
respect which it deserves. The poet
lies in an ola and dilapidated cemetery
at Amesbury, Mass, where rank weeds
and decaying trunks Of scrub trees ly-
ing where they have fallen give the
place an unkempt and unsightly appear
ance. No care is seemingly taken OF the
spot by any m Whittier's lot Is q
long, rectangular n surrounded by q
hedge OF scrub pines. Seven plain
headstones occupy the southern half OF
the r%ectangle. Each stone has o name
Of one Of the poets family engraved on
it with the date OF birth and death.
Directly in the center OF the lot is the
POETS new-made grave, o~vershadowed
by a pine tree. The hedge around tie
grave Is neat ami orderly and we'll
trimmed save in one spot. And that
is directly in the center, just on a
line with the new-made grave. Here
twigs and branches have been rudely
broken off until the symmetry Of the
hedge is utterly destroyed. The pine
tree in the center has also suffered Sc
verely. Evidently the relic-hunter had
been at work here. Disappointed in
his search for a tombstone 10 violate he
had wrecked his revenge or the surround
ing foliage. The grave Is wholly unpro-
tected, and who ever would could violate
it. Even Of the day of the poets funeral
people pressed into the lot and robbed
the grave of all the flowers heaped upon
1t, and it was not until a poll eman was
dispatched there that the crowd could be
induced to stop their thieving.
Whittier expressly stated before his
death that he wished to have no differ
ent sort Of n monument from that which
marked the graves of his relatives. He
lett a small sum. however. to keep in
oder that part OF the cemetery where
he was buried and so very likely, in
time, the visitor may notice an improve
mout there.

Eat Apples.

There are very few persons with
whom ripe apples do not agree, and
they can be made digcstible to those
with weak stomachs by being baked.
Liebig writes of apples as food in the
highest terms of praise. He says:
Besides containing Il large proper
tion of sugar, mucilage, and other
nutritive compounds in the form of
food, they contain such "A fine combi-
nation OF vegetable acid, extractive
substances, and aromatic principles,

Where Would He BE ".At?"

President Cleveland Is said to have
determined not to appoint editors to-
s7fRee.~-Hhe reason given is that 1t
looks too much like a reward for past
services or Il fee for future ones.
This looks like a f~ar-stretched dis
elimination against the newspaper
profession. Editors do not stand on
a different footing in this regard from
other professions, except that, as a
class. they render more party service
than any Other. AS Offices generally
go according to party service, why
should not editors be rewarded as
well as others? If Mr.. Cleveland had
made known this determination six

Benefits OF Reciprocity.

Our exports to Cuba, during the
year 1892, were valued at $40, 1s2,0l4,
against $40, 906, 7S9 the year previous.
The increase is due to the reciprocal
arrangement made under the Nc
Kinley law. The increase in bread
stuffs was from SSl2,642, in 1891, to
1858, 525, in 1892, or 1874 per cent.

branches as the reduction of aluminium

ore. Should this new process prove
wholly successful. it Is expected to re-
duce the price Of these commercial
chemicals one-half. The water of the
sea will then be the "raw material" from
which these products are derived, and

The Wanted craftsmanship OF
Grover Cleveland is a myth. He is a
politician of the practical sort, and
the first prizes he has given out have
been captured by men OF that stamp.
Josiah Quincy, chairman of the Mas
sachusetts Democratic COMMITTEES,
and Isaac Pussy Gray, the chronic
o~tfice-sceker of Indiana, are honored
in advance of everybody else. Cleyc-
lands action in sending Minister
West out OF the country because OF
the Murchison letter and his message
on the fisheries question in 1888 were
both bids for the Irish vote which
none but a practical politician would
have made. Cleveland has, however,
attained the height of his ambition.
He knows that he cannot hope for a
third term as President and he will
make his personal administration dis
tasteful alike to the Democratic party
and to the country. Rumor has it
OF course nobody can find out what
Mr.. Cleveland thinks-that no Dem
ocrat will get an Office until the COM
missions OF Republicans holding Office
expire. 1t is a'sO announced that no
offices will be given to the constit-
uents of Democratic congressman
who oppose the repeal Of the Shcr-
man silver law. This will bring the
entire Democratic party to its knees
In humility before Grover the Great.
