THE REPUBLICAN, RAISE.
1t Was the Tariff Instead Of the Working
idar.D wages,

1t Was the Tariff Instead Of the Working
fdar'B Wages,
Mckinley, the logical candidate of
the republican party for the presi-
dency, says that there are two ways of
checking importations-oneb by impos-
ing full or proliibitive tariff and the
other by lowering wages
Their. it ought to be found that full
or prohibitive tariff increases wages
both in the special lines of protected
industry and generally throughout
the country. Mckinley made a tariff
and the result was lowered wages in
the most fully protected lines and a
tendency downward in all wage-earn-
ing occupations. How is this2
1t ought also to be instantaneous1y
in the particular line where the pro-
hibitive duty is levied and subse-
quently increased from industry to in
dustry until everybody is getting good
wages. But instead of being so in
Simultaneously apparent that the intel
Igent workingman can see the swell
of increase starting from the particu-
lar point and lifting the level of the
whole country, it is never apparent at
all. and the worlxingman must take
McKinley's word for the blessings that
attend a prohibitive rate.
In 1892 the republican platform de-
manded duties equal to the difference
IN wages between the OnlCeu States
and countries which might send goods
here.
Democrats at once promised that
they would not propose a tariff in this
congress which would not g i've duties
to that amount. Not that they agreed
TO any connection between a tariff and
wages, but that they had no desire to
at once radically reduce duties to the
extent a literal Compliance with the
republican platform would require. To
fit a tariff to the republican platform
it would be necessary to figure out the
cost of each protected article. For in
stance, the tariff maker must find out
how much the manufacturers here
and abroad pay for the labor employed

There is instruction in the record Of

the number this year is still large, tho
liabilities are not much more than
one-third as great as they wers last

THE vETCH,
It's Value Forage Plant to, Southern
Farmers.

Farmers.
If it were not for the difficulty of
saving the seeds of vetch, it would be
forage plants.
1t belongs to the legumes, and the
little pods that bear the seed pop open
soon as they get little dry, and
scatter the seed over the ground On
account OF the care involved in saving
seed, there is comparatively little seed
saved, and the price is such as to deter
most farmers from sowing it.
If a crop of vetch is allowed to seed
even once on a piece of land, a crop can
be made for a number of years in the
same manner that a crcP of burr clover
is renewed.
Vetch and burr clover are much alike
in ha bit, springing up in the autumn,
thriving in the winter, yielding fine
pastures good moving in the early
spring, making seed and dying down
completely before the hot weather of
June. The seeds lie in the ground,
with no disposition to sprout until the
fall rains occur.
Along in September or October some
times as early as August, the seed
terminate after saturating rains and
where the land is rich a good pasture
will result sometimes before Christmas.
Stock should not be turned on to it
until it gets well established, and if
the full benefit would be derived from
it, never let stock run on it when
the ground is wet. Such a practice
will soon spoil a good pasture. The
reckless pasturing of soils through all
kinds of weather has much to do with
impoverishins them. Such practice
should he followed no longer. One
should be particularly careful in the
treatment Of winter pasture. The
southern stoci<-grower and dairyman
will find the vetch q very useful plant
sown along with those previously
commended for their quality and per
manency.
Like few others, such rs burr clover
and white clover. the vetch makes an
excellent combination" plant. Like
peas and clover, it is helpful to the
soil, is easy to manage and is very nu-
tritious, making the richest of milk and
butter. s.ss

TO REMOVE STAINS.

tfsnts on the 13sst Methods OF Taking Out
Fruit Juice Spots.
AS the fruit season wakes It becomes
burdensome to keep delicate drapery
epot1eSS. Who has not beheld with
dismay ones favorite damask hopeless
ly-it would seem-disco1ored with
peach, cherry and berry stains? S0n.e
suggestions culled from that best of
neutrality-suspicious. that are not
generally known may DO Of assistance
in remedying the mishhp:
In the first place do not wash the
linen before applying other remedies;
to do SO sets the stain almost indelibly,
and it then has to pass through all
stages until time and the laundry leave
but a pale yellow reminder, which con-
summation does not follow usually un-
til the fabric is threadbare. For berry
stains have some one hold the cloth SO
that it Says little and pour absolutely
boiling water through the spot; rub
well. If this fails, light a bit of sui
phur and hold under the wet spot-a
lighted match will answer; a sulphur
GUS gas usually does the work, the
stain gradually disappearing.
But there are some that, like Lady
Macbeth's damned spot. will not
''out''-peach stains, for example. Then
you must have recourse to salts Of
lemon, which is good, but apt to leave
a hole in lieu of the stain. BY extreme
carefulncss in it's use, however, it will
not do such dire damage. Take a sunny
day for the task; first moisten the
spot and then rub on very little of
the salts Of lemon; lay the linen in the
sun for two or three minutes and then
wash thoroughly with soap and warm
water. Success nearly always follows.
Other stains. like iron rust, are more
easily removed. After washing the
article, squeeze lemon juice on the spots
and then cover thicl<ly with salt. Lay
in the sun all day, wash. and if the rust
is not entirely removed, repeat the ap-
plication- This is equally good for ink
stains.-N. Y. Advertiser.

Proper way of boiling Potatoes.

Put them when prepared in a liberal
quantity of sEghtly-salted boiling
water; keep them boiling gently until
tender enough to be pierced easily with
a fork, then drain off the water, dry
out for Il few moments, shaking them
about occasionally in the kettle, cover
with a napkin or towel. and set the
kettle back on the range where the po-
tatoes will keep hot and the remaining
moisture evaporate. Treated In this
manner they will be dry, mealy and
delicious. If they have been boiled
without pairing, the skins can be read

other words, if manufacturers will
not pay to labor the tariff taxes levied
upon their products distinctly for the
benefit of labor, it is the plain duty of
congress to repeal those taxes and
