Says the Milford Chronicle; With
this week the peach crop of 1893 closes.
Many who prayed for tull crop last
winter and spring have met with dis
appointment although their most san
guine expectations were realized.
PRICES ruled low, very low-perhaps
the general average is not over twelve
cents per basket-but the crop paid
something to almost everybody. To
laborers it gave employ at unusually
high wages, and to the railroads and
commission men it was a shower o
gold, while to the grower the small re
turns of this HISTORICAL peach crop, leav,
a feeling that he has not been adequa
tely repaid for his hard labor in hand
ling the fruit. The railroads, the com
mission men, the basket manufactur
ers and laborers have only pleasan
memories ofthe great fruit crop of 1885,
it was their year.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inhamed condition OF the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result. and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-.
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an nfamed condition OF the mucous sur.

FREE LUMBER.

The Republican papers are raising a
great howl over the prospect Of free lum-
Der and coal. In fact a great deal more
OF one than those engaged in the lumber
and coal trade, and who would naturally
be the first ii their interests were liable
to be affected. The howl is loudest along
the Canadian border and through this
Pacific Northwest. But the lum Der bust
ness goes right along. notwithstanding
the howl, and in this locality is getting
better at time OF the year when ordi-
uarily it is getting worse. Col. c. W.
Griggs, az the head OF one OF the largest
lumber companies on the Sound, says
the removal OF the tariff will make no
difference whatever. But Col. Griggs is
a Democrat. anG loyal one, too, and it
might be intimated that be was going to
uphold the administration at any cost.
The Mississippi Valley Lumterman, how
ever, cannot be accused Of any such pro-
clivities, and in a long article in which it
arraigns Republican papers for assertions
tina. are disproved by letters in their own
columns from lumbermen, it takes the
same view as Col. Griggs.
The facts are great portion OF the
lumber and coal OF this section is export
ed, and comes in competition with the
Canadian product in foreign market not
affected by the tariff. Ii the lumbermen
can compete in the foreign market with
out the tariff it is nonsense to contend
that they cannot in the home market,
and the consumer will get the benefit OF
the reduction.
There is another fact that the howlers
overlook. and that is that the Mckinley
bill, in consideration OF the removal by
Canada OF the export duty on logs. re-
duced the tariff on lumber from $500 to
800 and the lumber trade did not seem
to be injured therby, neither was there
any howl raised, and it is not probable
there will be any more disaster when this
other dollar is taken off.

YOU CAN IF YOU WILL.

How shall the people OF Washington
assist in bringing prosperity to their own
state? In what better way can they do
so than by buying the things manuiac.
tured within the state? There are many
articles made within our borders. all Of
which are just as good as ii made in the
far east, and can be and are sold for less
money, simply because OF the expensive
transportation. 1t is in the power OF the
people to materially help themselves by
little thoughtiulness in this respect.
Every purchase made from a neighbor
puts him in position to make one from
you, either Of property or labor. Many
are simply thoughtless in this respect,
while others are short-sighted enough to
Imagine that it is economy to send away
for an article because they can save few
cents in the price OF it, forgetting that the
difference may be more than made up BY
the neighbor becoming your customer.
We cannot urge too strongly the i'm
portance oil this subject. 1t is iar-reach.
ing in its effect. II every one will adopt
the practice OF insisting upon their dealers
furnishing them only with articles made
within the state, in go far as such articles
that are so made is concerned there will be
a marked and instant improvement in all
lines OF manufacture, the natural result
OF which will be increased activity in all
channels OF trade. 1t rests with you and
not with the dealer. Common sense tells
him to keep what you ask for, and ii you
insist on having the home product he will
handle it.
