BISMARCK ON BIMETALIsM.

The Virginian publishes this morning
letter from Prince Bismarck addressed
TO Governor Culberson. of Texas, in an
swer to an inquiry made by the Cover
nor as to the Princes view on the finan-
cial issues involved in the present cam.
paign in this country, 1.-THE principal
questions being the following:
(which. in your judgment. is the
best policy to adopt, the gold stand
ard or bimetallism, giving your req
sons?
What effect in your Judgment
Will the immediate adoption Of BIZ
metallism by the United States
have on the cause of bimetallism in
Germany and other great CONNER
cial nations?"
The great statesman replied at some
length, and among other things said:
Il hold that this is the very hour
that would be advisable to bring
about between the nations chiefly
engaged in the worlds commerce
mutual agreement in favor of the
establishment of bimetallsm. can
not but believe that such action
would exert a salutary influence
upon the contamination of interna-
uonal agreement"
In order 10 show how Prince Bis.
marck's letter Is regarded by tht
Democratic National Committee. tht
Virglnian publishes the following which
was sent out from Chicago yesterday b,
that body:
The Democratic National Com
mittee regards the letter of Prince
Bismarck favoring bimetallism as n
step towards an international agree
ment. and the telegram Sent to Mr..
Bryan by the International Aericul-
'turai Congress at iBudapesth as max
ing the first genuine political SEN
sation of the campaign in favor of
free silver coinage. Members of the
committee at Chicago Headquarters
said yesterday that these documents
silenced the platform and assertions
OF the Republicans on the point that
the United States alone could not
change the monetary system OF the
world, and hat the present agita-
ton would be detrimental to inter
national bimetallism. The commit
tee decided 10 have these declara-
tons translated into several lam
guages. especially German, and dis
Tribute several millions"
What do 'our friends the enemv
who have been laying so much store b,
what Carl Schurz said about the singh
gold standard, think of this?

In writing on this subject the Wash
ing,on Times says:
"A brief glance at the annual re-
port of the superintendent of the
Life-Saving Service Is OF interest In
mis- connection. 1t appears that
from 1871. the year In which the SER

sacrificing heroism of the life-sav-
Ing crews. Taking the last year of
me period mentioned, the figures are
no less interesting ana instructive.
In 1879 there were 251 life-saving
stations on the Atlantic, Pacific,
Gulf and great lake coasts The
number of disasters during the year
was oio. tne lives In jeopardy were
h.S23. vet only 2G were lost, less than
OF per cent. If the Life-Saving
Service had no other claim than
these rescues of human beings. that
should be patent enough to secure 1t
fair treatment. The commercial
value of the service. however, is no
less important. The property in
rolved in the various disasters dur
ing the period from 1871 to 1895 was
S13G.G41.9I4. and of this only SCI ,299,-
?21 was lost. or about 81
ner cent. In the disasters of 1895
the money value of the property In
danger was Sl0.725,l75. of which
nearly nine-tenths was saved by the
lfe-saving crews. working in con-
junction with the salvage companies
and wreclIing tugs"
The Virginian agrees with its con
temporary that from whatever point tn,
of the lfe-savers are viewed
The claim is established 10 more libe

Is believed that the country would ap

The Bark of Fruit Trees.

AS general thing, says Meehan's
Monthly, healthy trees are able to get
rid of the old bark without any help
from the cultlvator: but in many cases
they are all the better for having little
help from man. In many species of
trees, there is an arrangement provided
by nature, for helping the plant to get
rid of it's bark. These are called in
scientific language, ''super cells;" that
is to say, cork cells. These appear al
first on the outer bark, as small brown
spots. From year to year, however,
they develop, some times eating into
the bark in longitudinal lines, and in
this way form the cracks which ulti
mately result in what is known as rough
bark.
AS it is thus the design Of nature to
get rid of the outer bark, it is good
practice to help nature 10 this work.
For this purpose, washes of various
kinds are found in practice extremely
useful. In fruit culture, soapy solutions
have been found very effective and in
the unscientjfc work of successful
farmers even lime wash has been found
beneficial. In some Of the interior
counties of Pennsylvania, farmer
would almost as soon think of never
cleaning his horses las letting his orchard
trees go without coating of lime wash
once q year. The practical results of
this treatment speak for themselves.
No healthier trees or more successful
fruit crops can be had than result from
this practice.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-05-27

Large yields overstock the m arket some
years, resulting in very low prices; but
the prices received during series of
years, make onion culture as rule, a
profitable enterprise where the soil and
climatic conditions are favorable.
Notwithstanding the extensive pro-
ductions of onions in the United States
hundreds of thousands Of bushels are
nnually shipped to our ports from Ber-
muda, France, Spain and Cuba. This
fact demonstrates that the home de-
mand at all seasons of the year is not yet
fully supplied by growers of our own
country. The bulbs of foreign varieties
are superior in quality to those origin
ated in this country-such as Yellow
Danvers. Red Wethersfield and Silver
King. The imported bulbs are also
placed on the market before the garden
ers in the north can mature their crops,
but the long season of California and
certain parts of the south renders it pos
sible for these sections to cultivate sue
cessfully the foreign varieties and ma
ture the onions almost, if not quite, as
early as the countries named"
The above is the introduction to Farm.
ers' Bulletin No. 80, "Onion Culture,
by r. L. Watts, instructor in herticul
ture at the University of Tennessee and
horticulturist of the Tennessee Agricul-
tural Experiment Station. The bulletin

Onion Culture.

There are few vegetable crops of more
importance to the rural population of
the United States than the onion crop.
The relatively large profits which it is
possible for the skillful grower to obtain
from limited area have rendered the
cultivation of this bulb especially pop
ular with those possessing small tracts
of land, while gardeners residing in 10
calities whose soils and climate are pre-
eminently adapted TO onion culture have
found it profitable to till large areas.
Twenty-Five to 100 acres in one Geld is
not an unusual thing in such localities.
