The Debt Which the Country Owes to
senator Morrill,.
From the New York Press ]

1t has seldom fallen to the lot of prom
inent American leader and legislator to lie
found in the harness of public duty at
such an advanced age. His S4th birthday
celebration occurs at time to remind the
Republic vividly of the debt which it owes
to Senator Morrill,. The Morrill, tariff,
passed just on the eve of the Civil war, was
one of the wisest and most timely meas
ures that ever passed into the statutes of
the nation. To the enactment of that law
the country is not only indebted for many
of the industries which until the advent
of Cleveandism made the American peo-
pie the most prosperous on earth, but it
was greatly instrumental in saving the
Union from disruption. While the Morrill,
tariff itself is no longer in operation, the
principle upon which it was founded has
continued to be the groundwork of the in
dustrial policy of the country, and it will
continue to be such long after Grover
Cleveland, who now "struts and frets his
hour upon the stage shall have been for
gotten.

Ex-senator Edmunds on the Recent
Elections.


Elections.
Ex-senator Edmunds, who is now in
Washington to argue certain cases before
the supreme court, construes the result of
the elections held during the spring to
mean that the people have become weary
with tariff tinkering and mean to return
to the policy which has in the main been
upheld since the government came into ex-
istence. "The notion that great many of
our people have entertained" said he,
'that the consumer in this country paid a
tax on all he bought equal to the duty on
the imported article has been exploded as
grave error. The foreign exporter pays
very considerable portion of the tax, at
least one-third. The importing merchant
or mddle-man, pays a part, and the buyer
ultimately has only fraction to pay. This
has been clearly demonstrated by Senate
investigations, and no well-informed per-
son will dispute the accuracy of the con-
clusion. A system that we have never
failed to thrive under is a good system to
stand by. What does it profit us to buy
cheap articles of foreign importation if
our home products are thereby displaced?
| think that a settled policy of protection
will be the verdict of the people in No
vember'

Recovery of Relies from the Kearsarge.

While cruising in his yacht Intrepid, Mr..
Lloyd Phoenix visited the Cayman islands
in the Caribbean sea, where he secured
from the islanders the Kearsarge bell parts
of the memorial tablet concentrating the
engagement with the Alabama, and the
log book of the ship. These are the arti-
cles which the state department notified
all American consuls to try to secure. Mr..
Phoenix was compelled to buy the relics
from the wreckers. The articles will be
delivered to the navy department upon the
arrival of the Intrepid at New York.

stroy this beetle use twenty pounds
OF sulphur and five ounces OF Paris

and dust over the plants or trees,
though we would not recommend the
use OF Paris green on peach trees,

Rainfall and Population.

The results OF the last census have
shown that the distribution OF the
population in the United States is
regulated by the abundance or scar
city OF rain. The largest part OF the
population is distributed In those
regions where the annual rainfall
varies from thirty 10 forty inches.
These comprise tbree-fourths OF the
people.
The density Of the population d.
miDishes very rapidly where the
amount OF rainfall differs consider
ably In either direction from these
figures, which may be taken as OF
mean value.
Greatest density is found where
forty TO fifty inches OF rain fell
yearly, the number OF inhabitants In
such districts being fifty-nine per
square mile. Where the rainfall is
thirty TO forty inches per n the
neal density OF population is ~ |
per square mile.
The dry regions OF the east, where
less than twenty inches fall In a
year, which includes two-fifths OF the
territory, contain actually less than
three-hundredths OF the people Of the
States
The population has multiplied
most rapidly with a rainfall OF twenty
or thirty inches. in the great plains
extending from Texas 10 Dakota,
where the density has increased from
10 TO l8. | per square mile.
These figures show that, az might
naturally be expected, in the variety
OF climatic conditions found in the
great expanse OF territory constitut-
ing the United States, those most
favorable TO increase the number OF
inhabitants are a moderate tempera-
ture and a moderate annual rainfall.
