The Trick Will Fail.

Attention is called to the Philadel-
phia Press editorial reprinted else
where on this page. Our Philadelphia
contemporary, with its usual discern
ment, picks out at once the weak point
in Judge Merrifield's candidacy and
strongly reinforees what THE TRIBUNE
has said concerning the mildewed an
tiquity of the Democratic nominees
economic trick. No other conclusion
is to be drawn from the judges atti-
tude with reference to the tariff than
that he deliberately and with design is
seeking to impose upon the voters of
this congressional district.
This, of course, is upon the assump-
tion that he has read the last national
platform of his party, which declared
protection fraudulent" and "uncon-
stitutional"; and that he is aware that
the convention of one week ago, whose
choice he was, reaffirmed and REIN
dorsed that platform before fixing
upon him as its leading candidate. TO
assume that he has not read those two
deliverances would be to do such vio-
lence to his reputation for intelligence
that we must prefer to believe him
simply guilty of q threadbare political
attempt to toy with the condolences of
his fellow citizens, after the fashion
set by Mr.. Amerman and in pursuance
Of the uniform custom of his predeces-
sors, no single one of whom has ever
had the manhood to stand flat-footed
on the free trade national platforms of
his party.
If protection be "fraudulentn and
unconstitutional" if it be "sham,"
as declared in the Chicago platform
and re-affirmed by his party one week
ago, how can Judge Merrifield, while
accepting the nomination on this plat
form, declare himself a "Protection
Democrat" and yet remain an honest
man? How can he, at one and the
same time, serve both God and NAM
mon? How can he, in other words, be
protectionist and yet remain free
trader? The thing is impossible.
Either he is deceiving us as to his De-
mocracy or else he is deluding us az to
his devotion to protection. In either
case he dare not be trusted; for the
man who would go back on his party's
platform, before the ink with which it
was written was dry, would 60 back
on his district if temptation were
strong enough.
Let US have a truce to this double
shuffling. Let us know where we
stand.

New Use for Wheat.

One of the effects of the corn scarcity
will doubtless be the more general
utilization Of wheat for stock feeding
purposes. Bran and shorts have long
been in high favor; but, until recently,
only In certain western states has the
feeding of whole wheat come into fa-
miliar use. At wholesale, in Buffalo,
for example, fifty-six pounds of corn
cost 61l cents. The same number of
pounds of good wheat cost So cents,
making wheat decidedly the cheaper.
When it is considered that wheat, for
feeding hogs, is worth nearly so per
cent. more than corn, the advantages
of using the former become readily ap-
parent.
Those who have experimental say
that, for horses, wheat should first be
soaked and crushed and fed one-half
ofpuch by measure as of oats. For
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1894-09-18

COWS and hogs, it is best when mixed
with cut straw. Until the new corn is
marketed, and during the drouth, it is
evident that this method of utilizing
wheat will prove valuable in many in
stances. Should the outcome of the
experiment be greatly enlarged home
demand for wheat, the benefits to the
farmer would not need to be pointed
out. The dream of "dollar wheat"
held out, in 1890 and 1892, by Demo-
cratic campaign orators, may not be
realized, but the grain market ought,
after the success of this experiment, to
once more take on a trend toward re-
coyery.

that there has never been shaft sunk to
depth of 30 feet anywhere In this county
without striking rich lead, zinc, copper or
marble. You DO not know that experts
believe that paying ore can be found in
any part OF the county by sinking shaft
from 20 to 200 feet deep. You do know
that capitalists have bought up most of
the zinc land and stand ready to buy the
remainder as soon as n railroad is started
toward this county. You do not know
that such road will be started this year,
and that mining lands will go out OF sight

st. Johns School.

The Commencement exercises of St.
Johns school, Of this city, on Tuesday
evening Of this week, in ST. Johns Hall,
on Bridge street, were grand success.
Those who bravcd the warm and snltry
weather could not help being pleased at
the manner 10 which all connected with
the school, from The graduates down to
the humblest little tot among the schol.
ars, acquitted themselves. Time and
space will not permit of any extended re-
port of the entertainment. Where 50
many took active and prominent parts it
would be unfair to praise some aud ne
glect others. The programme was very
lengthy and the parents and friends Of the
scholars could not complain of not get
ting their moneys worth. The flag and
broom drills were exceptionally fine and
portrayed clearly what military training
will do for children 10 fact, the whole
one could see the force OF discipline.
Mother Joseph and the Sisters Of the
school are deserving of credit for the pa
thence, perseverance aud hard work neces-
sary, aud SO freely given, TO bring the
school up to such perfection as was mani
tested last evening, as well as during the
examinations last week. The graduating
class OF five consisted of Miss Mary Coll,
Miss Catharine McKeever, Miss Julia
Reilly, Master Charles A. Butler aud
Master Michael A. Roche. They were
presented by Father Fitzgerald with hand
some gold medals and diplomas as re-
ward for past efforts. The large hall was

rcn were all fatherless, there WAS such a

prone to view such occasions. The music
was furnished by Miss Elizabeth @. Nc

were just enough flowers for each OF the

week. 1t costs about S. 90 per thousand
to get the blocks hauled from the various
points to the cars, only one or two of the
companies having direct communication
with the railroad. AS it is, employment
is given to man and beast, and as cleo.
tricity in the cities does away with horses
they are bought up and do quarry work.
1t is said by those prominent in the
business that block making is but in its
infancy in this vicinity. Within year
Lambertvlle will almost have doubled its
population as far as labor is concerned.
The small companies will merge into the
larger ones and men of means will be at
tracted here.
This sketch of the stone business deals
principally with the block and crushed
portion of it. There are above the city,
within five miles, quarries where brown
stone of the finest quality is unearthed
and where hundreds of men are employ
ed. At Lumberton, also, on the Penn
sylvania side, Mr.. Thomas Kimble pos
sesses one Of the finest quarries along the
Delaware, and, like the Shanleys, turns
out all kinds of work. 1t will take d.
rect visit to these outside quarries to
properly give correct account of them,
which will be done at no distant day.
Lambertville is and ought to be thank
full that the tariff question does not inter-
fere with the stone business. 1t is our
opportunity, and if we do not boom the
city when the tide is with us there should
be no sympathy when II comes to "pu.l-
ing hard against the stream"
