Keeping Hillsides In Sod.

On tillable, side hill land there is usu-
ally heavy loss every time the land il
newly plowed, as the rain of even a
moderate shower is not absorbed as fast
as it falls, but by it's own gravity rushes
down the hillside, carrying with it
much of the surface soil, and if the soil
be soft often deep cutters are formed.
Now, American Agriculturist says that
if such slopes were well seeded to tim.
othy or clover but little injury would
result, andif properly managed a tim
othy sod may be kept in good condition
on side hill pasture land for many years.
Usually the soil in such places is natu-
rally thin; hence previous to blowing APP
ply fertilizer in some form, preferably
well rotted barnyard manure. This will
keep the timothy in good health for
many years. Should any portion become
thin let the whole grow to height of
six or eight inches, when either COM
mercial fertilizer or well rotted manure
can be applied to the thin portions.
Thus guarded, even heavy rains will not
carry much fertility away, but cause il
to lodge against and become absorbed
by the growing plants. Hillsides should
never be pastured very closely.

SOME MORE COMPARISONS.

Editor Medill is the editor of the Chi
cagO Tribune. and has been for many
years. Editors may change their
opinions, but they cannot change
the facts upon which those opinions
are based. Editor Medill now.
i'll the emergency of a campaign
in which he sees his party strug-
Cling in vain to reverse the defeats Of
1890 and 1872, in an editorial on Demo
cratic Incapacity." says that 'in 1857
the Democrats tried their hands at tar
if tinkering again. so as to force down
the wages of free Northern workmen
and bring those men nearer to the half
pauperized labor of Europe and the
slave labor of the South"
In 1888 Editor Medili discussed in a
letter to his paper from Florida. over
his own initials, letter in Harper's
Magazine by Senator Edmunds. In the
course of this long letter he says:
Eleven years later, 1857, the Republic
cans. being in control of the house of
representatives. found a surplus reve-
nue. of some s2O.O000 600 year. and they
disposed of it by cutting down the Dem
0cratIc tariff of 1916 to a revenue basis,
leaving 1t to average only about 10 per
cent. and materially extending the free
list" The act of 1857, which, for party
purposes, Editor Medili now says was
"a Democratic reduction of tho tariff"
Editor Medill i'll 1883 declared, as is a
fact, to have been ''the act of house of
representatives controlled by the Re-
publicans."
Again, today, Editor Medill says that
sin the wake OF the reduction of the
tariff ID 1857 came hard times and a
bankrupt treasury" plainly inferring
that these followed as effect follows
cause. In the letter written in 1888 we
find him saying:
But perhaps Senator Edmunds
may attribute the brief panic OF
1878. Caused by over specula-
ton, weak banks, scarcity of
specie and an adverse balance of trade)
to the reduction of the tariff If he does,
he will also have to attribute that ter
rible and long panic of 1899 to the re-
peal Of the tea and coffee tax Of 1872,
and the placing of Nova Scotia fish on
the free list by the treaty of 1S7l."
just now Editor Medlll's paper is
croahing daily over the ruin to indus
tries, the reduction of wages and the
general stagnatlon which has followed
the reductions in taxation made by the
new act. 1t has taken up the same line

club, says that the Irish Catholics of
New York have to 90 out of that city to

ENEMIES OF RusINEss

A year ago, after the panic struck the
country, the bankers of the cities asked
the newspapers 10 suppress the reports
of bank and business failures. This
the papers as newspapers refused to do.
bur yielded to the requests of the bank
ers so far as to put the items of such
news on Il lack page, and as obscurely
placed as possible.
Why was this? The bankers urged
that there was panicky feeling among
the people, and that this would only be
excited further by reading such reports.
They said that all that was needed was
restoration of confidence; that these
news items impeded it and added 10 the
danger and injury. 1t was also sug-
gested that the editorial tone of the
papers should be cheerful and hopeful.
In this the bankers only applied what
experience and common sense suggest
crowded hall and let every one go to
shrleking.and you have panic at once.
Let some one rise and bid them sit
down and be quiet. assuring them that
there is no danger, and the effect is
magical. There is contagion of ideas.
as well as of diseases. We see this III
the rapid spread of fashions of dress;
III the spread of fads. as we'll as in the

and impassiomed orator.

psychological one; scare that sent
money into hiding. 1t ended when the
president called congress together. Its

MUST WE OR SHOULD WE?

The representatives of the business
men of several cities met in Mime
apolis the other evening and had ban
quet, after which was discussed the
question of encouraging home trade.
The Tribune makes this meeting the
subject of homily. and especially
dwells upon the fact that large num-
Der of the Danqueters were Democrats,
and expresses wonder that any BUSH
ness man can be found in politics with
party that favors breaking down the
protective barriers which tend to keep
out foreign importations and preserve
our home market for home manufact-
urerS."
The wonder of the Tribune is due to
its inability to comprehend the Demo-
cratic idea of the purposes of govern
ment. Its idea is that whatever it or a
majority thinks is bene6cia tor the COM
munity. the entire power of the COM
munlty, operating through law, should
oblige all to do. Every one will adj
nit that it is better for all in any com.
nifty to have made in that community
the things they need. or to buy them
there if made elsewhere. The pater-
nalists represented by the Tribune argue
ii this is good and beneficial to the COM
munity, then all in the community
should be obliged to do it.
The individualist represented by the
Democrat SAYS: Il agree with you that
it would be better to buy these things
here. but there is something higher than
that at stake. and that is the liberty
of the individual. If lie has one right
that is more sacred to him than another,
it is the right to buy with what he has
earned or produced what he will and
where he will. When you deprive him
of that, you to that extent enslave
him." The difference between the two
schools of thought is simply the use of
the two words should and must. In this
particular case the Democrat would say
''you should buy at home;" the pater-
nalist would say you must buy at
home" This is the fundamental diff
ference between Democracy and Re-
publicanism and all the other forms OF
paternalSm.
