The income tax law, IL Is confidently

there is . good deal Of reason to doubt
the accuracy Of the prediction. Those
who make it also predicted that Presi-
dent Cleveland in his message would
either recommend such course or
show in some clear fashion his dislike
of the tax and the law. That predie-
ton was not verified. The president
said nothing whatever about the In
come tax law. II is quite possible
that the other prediction may fall
equally short Of verihcation. It Ger.
tainly should not be verified. Com

started from a bud which contains tho
perennial mycelium. Since all of the
affected leaves fall off from diseased
trees at quite an early period. and at
the time of budding the seedlings In
August there is probably no sign of the

impossible to discriminate between tho
diseased and healthy trees, or the af-

A selection in May or June of healthy
trees for budding purposes would pre-

Efforts have been made to check
leaf curl by the use of the Bordeaux

PROTECTION FOR 4 PURPOSE.

What Tom Reads candldacy In 1900
VIII Mea..
It now seems probable that Thomas
B. Reed or some other republican
leader suspected of being opposed to
Mckinleyism will be the next presi-
Dental nominee of the monopoly
party.
Reed Is said to represent that ele-
ment which wants moderate protec-
ton, or, as some Of the Maine con-
gressman's admirers define 1t. "a tariff
which will exactly measure the differ
once between American and European
wages"
This, Of course. IL . confession that
the republican party has heretofore
been legislating profits into the pock-
cts OF manufacturers instead of wages
to workingmen. It Is, moreover,
confession which will involve protec-
tionists in moro serious complications
should they attempt to make their
moderate" policy q permanent one.
They will have some difficulty in ex-
planning, Tor instance, how the differ
ence in wages will 60 to employees and
not continue to stick to the hands of
employers. There is no special law or
virtue in a moderate tariff which COM
pels the protected class to be more
generous to wageworkers than when
they are operating under q high tariff.
The manufacturers are the first re-
cipients of the swag, and If the swag
be a moderate" amount it is less
likely to be passed on to workingmen
than if it be q large amount such as
Mckinley favors taking from con-
sumers. In the latter case they might
be shamed into voluntarily dividing
part OF the plumber with the en-
ployes, but where the amount is small
the protectees would hold on to it and
look for more.
These moderate protectionists should
also explain their attempt to arbitrar-
lily fix limit to American wages. II a
twenty-five per cent tariff raises
wages will not eighty or one hundred
per cent. duties make them higher? At
what point does q tariff cease to en-
nance the pay of employe and begin to
augment the profits of employer? If
protection" booms business and
makes workingmen prosperous Amer
leans will never be satisfied with the
miserable amount which measures the
nominal difference between wages
paid on two continents.
And what is that difference? Protec-

In a recent number of the Breeders

tention to the fact that low grades OF
-four are now frequently offered Mt
prices that make them a cheaper stock
food than the wheat itself Some
grades contain the germs of the wheat
grains, which can be detected in the
-four as dark spots due to the oil in
the germs turning color. These germs
are exceedingly rich in protein, the
most valuable part of food. For feed
ing horses, -four can be spread over

WOODEN BOOKS.

The Singular Library THAT - BoexnIst I,..
Collected.
In retired street of Cassel stands an
old fashioned roomy house. the demos
itory of the Natural History Museum
of Hessen. The most unique and inter-
citing of the various collections is the
so-called ''Holzbibliothek," or library
.of wood, consisting of $40 volumes in
folio, octave and duodecimo. made from
trees growing in Wilhelmshoehe park.
and representing 100 genera and All
species On the back Of each volume
Is red morocco shield bearing the
common and scientific name of the
tree, the class and species to which it
belongs according to Linneus, speci-
mems OF the moss and lichen peculiar
to 1t, a bit of the rind or bark, and, if
1t IS resinous, drop or two of the resin.
The upper edge shows the young
wood cut crosswise to exhibit the rings
and pith, while the outer edge is of old
wood, cut In the same manner, to illus
trate the changes which take place in
the texture as the tree gains in age
and size. The top cover is of unripe
wood, in the rough; the under cover is
planed smooth; the front edge shows
polished grain and also the fungi to
which the tree is liable when in the
stages of decay or disease. Attached
to the front edge is cubic inch of ma
ture wood, on which is noted it's spe-
cific weight when the sap is flowing in
the early spring. again in midsummer,
and still again when thoroughly dry.
Under this is given the degree of
heat. Reaumur and Fahrenheit, obtain
able from a cubic inch of dry wood in
a cubic foot of space, that given out
by the same quantity when it becomes
a glowing coal, its diminished size
and weight when charred, and the
properties OF the tree, together with
description of the soil in which it -four
ishes best. The interior of the book,
or box, contains a complete history of
the tree, especially of the organs of
nourishment and qualification. There
are capsules with seeds, the germ-bud
with rootlets and first leaves, branch
with leaves in various stages of develop
ment, the flower from the bud to a tiny
blossom, the fruit from the embryo to
its full maturity, and last of all, a skele
tonized leaf.
The author of this really marvellous
work was Carl Schiedbach, of whom
little is known save that he was Hes
sian born, was manager of the men
agerie at Cassel from 1771 to 1886, was
bailiff of the domain of Weissenb baden,
now Wilhelmshoehe, in 1895, and died
in 1916, leaving widow, but no chill
dren.
The library remained in Schiedbach's
possession until 1899, when it passed
into the hands of Landgrave William
TX, of Hesse, for the consideration of
life annuity of about 1,6OO marks
Fuseli. in his ''Art Lexicon" says:
cat first Carl Schiedbach fed tame and
wild beasts in Cassel, but afterwards
turning his attention to science he
raised himself in a short time, by
means of talent and enormous dill
gence, to the position of one of the
greatest scientist in Germany. Button
appreciated him and tried to induce
him to go to France, but in vain. He
was mechanical genius, and though
he never had a lesson in drawing or
painting, he was a connoisseur of art

the best and most economical way OF
feeding wheat: To horses, whole.

one-third ground corn and fed dry or
fed in the sheaf; to milk cows, ground
and fed as slop; to hogs. ground

superior to corn in the production of

tionists of the Reed type refuse to con-
slider the relative purchasing power OF
q dollar in America and of a dollar in
England. They also carefully elm
mate from discussion the well-known
greater efficiency of American labor
over that of Europe, factor In itself
sufficient to account for any real diff
ference there may be in wages paid.
The average American mechanic
bears the same relation to a European
worker as does a modern mechanic to
one out of date. The improved ma
chine usually costs more than the old
one, but it is always more economical
to its owner, just as the higher paid
American is less expensive to the man
hi-ing him than is the European to his
employer.
Farmers now use self-binding har-
vesters to do the work which was once
performed by the old-fashioned cradle
and manual labor. If congress were
called upon to pay to each self-binder
purchaser a bonus representing the
difference in cost between the old and
new instruments It would be doing
for farmers what for thirty years it
has been doing for manufacturers.
Farmers who use modern machinery
ask for no protection" against their
less fortunate neighbors who struggle
along with Anticipated tools. They
know that if government pap should
be doled out at all it ought to be given
to the men who use cheap machines
and cheap labor. And yet a majority
of American farmers continue to be-
lieve with religious zeal that rich
manufacturers using improved ma
chimes american workingmen) ought
to be protected against their European
rivals using slower and less effective
machines C'pauper" laborers).
Tom Reeds candidacy in 1895 will
mean the emphasis of this wages lie.
Mckinley has not been averse to adj
hitting that some of the tariff profits
fact. he invited the mill bosses to
Washington to write the bill which
bore his name. Presumably, Reed. if
elected, would invite laboring men in
proposed protected industries to come
to the capital and write the tariff
schedules.
That is what workingmen should in
sist upon doing, should moderate"
protection win in 1896 But they
should also make certain that the tariff
profits are delivered to them direct.
Manufacturers should not be permit
ted to handled the money because, &C
cording to the Reed doctrine. they
have no right to it.
The people from whom these profits
would be flched will have nothing to
do with such deals except to bear the
robbery meekly and call it patriotism.
