q diversion from narrowing cares. or,
in other words. a kind of economic
lark" Even Senator Stewart, whose
incessant intlationis. sopbistries have
implanted the germ of which Cozeyism
is the rank growth, is forced, in face
of this approaching evidence of his uu-
wise work, to repudiate the mis-shapen
child Of his theories, and in a certain
almost lulicrous sense to flee from the
wrath to come"
Nevertheless it ia Illuminating to the
general intelligence of the country that
1t cannot refute Coxey's scheme by
pointing to highways already common
surate with u national wealth. The
one element Of justics in his madcap
campaign saves it from utter ridicule;
and those who smile at the grotesque-
neas of his following. calling to mind,
as it does. Sir John Falstaff's "scurvi-
est set Of rascals uuhung," would per-
haps find it no laughing matter were
they personally forced even to dri se
over some of the roads that Coxey's
Commonwesl is traversing by deed Of
foot.

Senator Brice, in a Cincinnati inter-
view, 10 credited with making some
significant remarks. After asserting
that the present business depression is
international and universal. he con-
tinued: "Ths world is resolved on 4
shrinkage Of prices. Wheat at 81 per
bushel and cotton at 10 cents per pound
are things of the past. Wages are 60
ing to fall, labor being an element i'll
the scale Of decline" Passing to q
consideration of immediate political
issues, the senator added. 81 suppose
the Republicans will get both houses
soon, but with Cleveland to veto their
bills, the pending tariff bill will stand
until March. 1897. | do not think it
would bring about good times. AS an
immediate or even speedy resusciator
of prosperity l think it will fail. There
is going to be a big silver vote this fall.
1t will be large eve in New York.
Silver will be the alternative Of the
disappointed and the indebted. We
shall find that fiscal legislation will
supercede the tariff"
Coming from a Democrat, these ut
~terances are SUCCESSFULLY frank. IL is
evident that Mr.. Brice shares Senator
Hills disgust with the Wilson bill and,
to a large extent, with Mr.. Clevelaud's
administration. We have reached at
least an agreeable era Of plain speaking
when fsllow-partisanS Of a president,
with all the force Of administration
patronage arrayed against them, can
readily find it convenient to condemn
without mincing matters policies OF
which they do not approve. This fact
certainly illustrates the rapid recent
spread Of political Independence among
the masses and in a measure justifies
the optimism Of those who regard this
spread as a happy omen Of important
coming reforms.
Reverting, however, to our immedi.
ate text, there will bs considerable dis
sent from the Ohio senator's prediction
with reference to the downward course
Of wages. If the Wilson bill should
pass. there will no doubt be a temporary
decline, lasting until such time as a
sensible protective tariff can be enacted
in its place. And even apart from
tariffs, it is conceivable that there
should be in certain localities O. lower
tendency in wages, due altogether TO
'abor.saying inventions which for a
time d~isarrange the entire economy of
industry. But an end must come TO
this industrial excess of inventiveness,
just as an end must also come to the
constant tinkering of doctrinsires at
the fundamental principle of American
tariff legislation; and when this time
arrives, a wholesome protective system,
insuring to us the greatest and best
market in the world, will again stimu-
late diversified industry until all our
citizens will find opportunities to sell
their labor in an appreciative and not
stagnant market.

A NEW INDUSTRY.
The Value of tho Pineapple rs a Fiber Pro-
ducinE Plant.

RANT.
Tho pineapple is valuable not only as
food plant, but also as fiber plant,
and tho development of the pineapple
industry in Florida is now going on rap
idly by reason of these two profit pro.
ducing conditions. Charles Richard
Dodge, who has conducted very extern.
sive experiments with fiber plants, saws
that the fiber of the Florida pineapple
leaf, especially that in the Lake Worth
and Indian river sections, yields readi-
~ to treatment i'll the alkaline bath,
and its filaments are easily subdivided,
especially when subjected to tritura-
ton 1t is claimed also for the Florida
pineapple fiber that constant immersion
in water does not in the least injuro it.
In tests of strength pineapple fiber ex-
hibits superior tenacity.
The yield Of the fiber from the pino-
apple leaves of the east coast is very
prolific Two or three different ma
chimes for Shedding the fiber arc now
i'll use. but mono of them is perfect as
yet i'll their work. The waste is excess
i've and the process not so rapid as it
should DO to secure the best results
Experiments show that the yield of fiber
from freshly cut leaves in the Lake
Worth region ranges from 45 to 60
pounds from a ton of leaves, which is a
remarkably good showing.
AS to the value of pineapple fiber no
authoritative figures can DO given, as it
is not yet q convenient product in this
country But Mr.. Dodge is of tho opin-
ion that if tho fiber could be produced
In quantity at an economical cost man
ufacturers would soon find use for it.
At present tho product is high priced
for binders, ropes and cables But this
pineapple fiber can be manufactured in
to the most delicate fabrics strongly
resembling silk, and for this purpose 1t
will soon command a price much higher
than any other of tho leaf fibers that arc
grown in this country Tho writer Of
the foregoing tells i'll The American
Agriculturist that it is probable that
capitalists will in the course of the noxt
year or two establish extensive machin-
cry plants along the Indian river coun-
try, i'll the Lake Worth region, and even
down as far as Bay Biscayne, for the
manipulation of the leaves of the sisal
hemp plant and the pineapple plant,
after which the greater portion of the
commercial tibers consumed in this coun-
try will be produced along the Florida
east coast

Two Breeds Together.

There is Il method that may DO prac-
ticed by those having only small poul-
try houses and limited space, by which
two breeds, kept i'll the same Enclosure
during the breeding season, may do we'll
together and one of them produce thor
oughbred chickens. For instance says
The Poultry World, suppose one OF our
friends has Il few Leghorns which he
prizes on account of their good laying
qualities, also few Brahmas which
he esteems highly as winter layers and
for table poultry. and because they are
so tame and so large. He has room
enough for all, Leghorns and Brahmas,
but none to spare. He does not think
best to part with either brood and
would for convenience sake keep all in
one flock. He would raise few chick
ems, but dcspiscs mongrels.
OF course he can raise pure bred
chickens, either Leghorns or Brahmas,
by simply choosing cock Of one breed
or the other. If he determines to raise
Brahma chicks, the cock will be Brah-
ma, and he will select the eggs of dark
color for Matching. If Leghorn chicks,
the cock will be Leghorn. He can raise
one kind this year, and the other kind
next year, without the trouble of parti-
tons and division fences, using the
'mongrcl" eggs for the table The ques
ton of contamination" of course comes
iii here, but it need not very much con-

use
