rALMAGE ON RICE.

A letter addressed to one of our
planters in tins locality BY Messrs.
Dan Talmage's Sous, New York,
contains the following suggestive
lines: VII V
They state:
This ought to be a grand year
for home rice. 1t his sharp com
petitor in foreign, by reduction of
tariff it is brought in here at ] c.
less than in preceding years: still
our crop is far short Of the total
requirements Of the year, and for
this reason ought never 60 below
the cost of importing Foreigns.
The best of these are selling at SC. !;
the poorest at 81 G. II the home
product realizes as much it would
mean s. per barrel for the best;
81 so for the poorest; less, Of
course, transportation to market and
expenses connected with the hand
ling. Can these prices be realized !?
We reply without hesitation they
can, if planters knowing the value
Of their rice insist on getting It or
something approximative. Every
thing depends upon the intelligence
and elaboration Of the planting fra
ternity in general. No one man
can make the market, but by ''pull-
ing together" good fair prices can
be gotten for all Of it in prOpotion
to quality Of rough. Planters must
exercise their judgment aud should
endeaver 10 grade their rice fairly
the best is only best; the poorest
is only poorest and the prlces fol-
low quality. Neither merchant nor
miller can hold the market, but only
the planters. They own the crop and
can get what they please up to the
cost Of Foreign il they will but use
the power they have. Here is .
motto: I" Fair price or no rice"
1t would seem by the above that
the whole situation hinges on the
steadiness with which our rice grow
ers dispose Of their product. They
can have what they will, so long Of
course as they keep within reason.
able bounds OF value. Those who
have been so fortunate as to make
= fine crop are assured Of good re-
turns il there be anything like gen.
eral cooperation in the matter Of
deliberate disposition thereof. -

Mr.. Thee. Wilkinson told the
rice planters At = meeting IN Pla-
qaemine parish few days since
that they had better look we'll at the
new tariff before they joined the
sugar planters movement. The
nee industry will fare better under
the new tariff than under the Nc
Kinley bill, because the new CLASH
fication makes all imported rice
that has been ''hulled' pay duty,
whereas, heretofore the foreign
producers Of this grain could
import their rice here and escape
Ill duty By SIMPLY putting it through
the 'polishing" process here.

Lewiston Journal
Mrs. Betsey Butland, of Buxton, who

big beast was driven to Buxton from
Portland by night and was kept in the
Brewster barn by day and at night was
taken out AMI was driven along the road
to Alfred. The boys and girls got word of
the plan and all along the road from the
Brewster place OH Tory hill to Salmon
Falls they turned down heaps of pota-
toes and near them piled dry brush and
Shavlngs and prepared to see the ele-
phant. When it was dark the keeper
started with his charge on the road to
alfred via Salmon Falls. but before he
had gone far bright fire Illuminated
the face of the elephant and he was
further gratified to find set out for him
a heap OF small potatoes, which he un-
tremendously and against the will aud
Aprglng and anxiety of the driver insisted
