Instead of attempting to resuscitate the

Why do we advocate protection for
the American farmer? Simply that he
may continue to raise and market his
products at a living rate. If he could
live on what the Russian peasant does
no meat from one weeks end TO
another, on the poorest and cheapest
quantity of food; if he could clothe
himself and his family in the same
cheap way; if he could forget his duty
to educate his children; if nc could
shirk, without disgrace, his share i'm
the expenses for n healthy, social life,
for neighborhood libraries and other
improvements, for the church Of his
choice; If he could consent TO live in
the kind of Il cabin or howell i'm which
the same Russian wears out his exist
ence; then we might go In for system
that would bring him into direct COM
petition with Russia 1t does not mat
ter whether it is called free trade or

the result puts him on level with the
present conditions of Europe. The
new law, for example, reduces the tar
iff on barley 53.62 per cent. The effect
will be either to Kill off barley raising
or to put our farmers In such n COM
petition with the barley of Russia that
their profit will be gone.-Farm, Field

The daily customs collections of the
government are now about twice as large
as the internal revenue receipts, or S14,-
100000 of customs and S7,000,0OO in
ternal revenue for twenty-four days of
this month.-The Journal of Commerce
and Commercial Bulletin.
This is a directly opposite condition
to that which existed last summer when
the internal revenue receipts, during
ninety days, were more than $6T ,000,-
600, with customs receipts amounting
to only S29,000.OOO. Since the new tar
if went into effect, however, as the
above authority states, "the custom re-.
ceipts have been more than S60, 200, 900,
as compared with 500 10000 of inter-
nal revenue. OF course these very
large custom receipts mean very large
imports of foreign goods, and the Sill

imports of wooden goods, every pound
of which checks the output of the
American wooden mills and the en-

can wool, all of which objects the free
traders had i'm view when they voted
for the German tariff bill.

TO TEACH FARMERS.
An Appropriation Asked to Instruct
Them in Scientific Agriculture.

bill prepared by Jonathan Periam.
one of the best-known writer's on agricul-
tural topics in the West, has been intro
duced in the Illinois State Senate by
Senator Aspinwall appropriating $4,000
for farmers institutes. The bill author
ICES the trustees of the University OF
Illinois to hold institutes for the instruc-
ton of the citizens of the State in the
various branches of agriculture. So far
as practicable one such institute shall be
held in each county. The course of in
struction is TO be so arranged as to present
TO those in attendance the most recent
Investigations in scientific and practical
agriculture.
Mr.. Periam says of the bill that the
only unsatisfactory thing in il is that il
does not make a large enough appropria-
ton. 1t should be twice as large. New
York appropriates $4,000; Wisconsin.
$4,000; Missouri, $4,000; Minnesota.
$4,000, and Indiana, $1,000. There is
another bill before the Legislature ap-
propriatng 500 TO each county holding
an institute. If each county in the State
holds an institute il would require $40, 400
to pay the bill, but when Institutes are
held independently none realize the adj
vantage except those in attendance. To
be made practically and permanently use
full there should be n printed record kept.
This Wisconsin and Minnesota do. After
trial of eight years both these States
are inclined to raise, rather than reduce,
the annual appropriation. The concerted
work of the institutes in Wisconsin has
made that State one of the foremost in the
West, notwithstanding it's extreme north
ern position. An appropriation of S10,-
600 would allow an institute of two days
duration. print $4,000 copies of we'll
edited digest of each meeting. and possi-
bly, aid toward the organization Of Soc
ond institute in such counties as might
wish TO undertake the second one"

IT SKATERS A TOWN.
Loss of 100000 Caused by an Ex-
p1osion ut Anderson, Ind.

The most destructive natural gas explo-
sion in the history of the Indiana gas belt
occurred in Anderson at 4 o'clock Tues
day morning. A $4,000 business block
on the court house square was blown all
over the central part of the city. In the
building were the When clothing stores,
Prather's shoe store, Hadley's drug store.
and large number of business Offices
and halls on the upper floors. Fire fol-
lowed the explosion, which was like an
earthquake, and the remains of the debris
began burning fiercely. The entire fire
department was called out and prevented
the fire from reaching the new court
house. u.II| I
Attorney Ballard and County Commits
sioner Metcalf lived in rooms above the
When store, and, the dispatch says, IL IN
feared they have persisted. The loss on
the building and contents is total, and
will reach 100000. The fronts of oil the
business houses in the neighborhood of the
explosion were demolished, paved streets
ripped open and telephone cables torn
down.

Good for John Bull.

The returns of the British Board of
Trade for 1894 show that imports into
the United Kingdom increased by So
100000. or nearly l per cent. more than
the imports of 1893. The export trade
fell off l per cent, or nearly $4,000
600 in amount. The decline in the val
ues Of goods. II is thought, will fully
account for the shrinkage in export
values, because the volume of bust
ness was certainly greater than in 1893
chiefly owing TO the larger quantity OF
goods shipped TO the United States. III

creased II per cent. in quantity AMI

CATCH AS CATCH CAN.
DEMOCRATS WOULD SCORE a
POINT WITH AN OLD TRICK.
Now Call Upon Protectionists TO Out
line Some Specific Measure That Will
BE Passed i'm Place of the German
BiIi-What Free Trade Did.
A Shrewd Game.

1t Is very shrewd game that the
free-traders have been playing since
the November elections in calling upon
protectionist members to outline some
specific bill that will be passed in place
of the German bill. 1t is sort of
'heads l win tails you lose" game.
Whatever the answer on the part of
protectionists, the free-traders hope TO
score point.
If protectionist leaders should be
beguiled into suggesting possible de-
tails, the free traders would at once
seize upon these suggested possibili-
ties as pledge Of party action. If, as
would undoubtedly be the case, protec-
ZIONIST leaders should disagree in re
gard to some of the details, the free
traders would cry out that the party
was disunited and the leaders at odds
with one another. If, on the other
hand, the protectionists should refuse
to enter into details, the freetraders
would be ready with a plausible inter-
probation of such refusal.
For such Interpretation there has
been abundant opportunity. Protec-
ZIONIST leaders have in almost every
case refused to enter upon question
of details. They have deemed 1t quite
sufficient to state that, whatever the
details Of a new bill that should he
passed, it should be bill which should
have for its fundamental principle the
protection of American industries.
But the free-traders have professed
to see, in this refusal Of protectionists
to give details, confession on their
part that they have nothing better than
the German bill to offer Absurd lis
such a claim is, since there would De
difficulty in passing worse bill, it is
well, nevertheless, for protectiOnists
to permit not the slightest chance for
doubt i'm regard to their position. If
the recent elections meant anything,
they meant denunciation of the Cor
man bill and disgust with the whole
free trade administration.
1t Is well, then, for protectiOnists 10
make it very clear that they will have
something better than the German bill
to offer, and that they intend TO enact Il
bill which shall protect American in
dustries as soon as they possibly can.
Let them, too, not cease to emphasize
the fact that the present disaster and
depression are due to the bancful CT
fects Of tariff reform, and that they
have no intention of letting the coun-
try rest" i'm the midst Of such evils, but
that they mean to place it again in the
midst of such prosperity as II enjoyed
under the Mckinley tariff. Let them.
above all, beware of all overtures and
all proposals coming from the free
trade enemy's camp.

Australian Wool Active.

The latest advices from the Austria
liam wool market, Dec II, 1891, show
that during the previous four weeks
"a very large business has been trans
acted" We are told that "the com
petition, with one or two trivial eX-
ceptions," was keen, especially for the
wool goods. There was an improved
feeling lin the best merino growths, "
which are now receiving more atten-
ton, and "a stronger and more con-

for them. These are the growths of
wool of which II is reported that 1.-THE

had done so. The difference between
the two prices Is $3.16 per hundred
pounds.
The present tariff lay had been In
operation more than four months
when the lower price was quoted, when,
of course, the markets of the world
were thrown wide open to us, with the
foreign buyers awaiting anxiously to
secure the products of the American
farmers. Ii remains for the American
farmer TO say whether ii is worth
while to lose S3.16 per hundred pounds
in the value of his hogs for the prlvi-
wide, wide world thrown wide open 20
