have no hesitation in declaring that
a tariff for revenue only-that is, a tar
if law under whose provisions the
largest amount Of revenue can be raised
in the easiest manner for the govern
ment-would be more disastrous to our
people than free trade, for, while it
would leave open and free competition
to all countries in everything we raise
or manufacture, it would increase the
cost of those we cannot and yet must
have, the factor Of competition being
left out.-Senator Frye.

Pearl Buttons and Revenue.

In 1898 we imported 1867, GAP lines
Of pearl buttons In 1895 we imported
1887, 049 lines. Americans, under the
German tariff, were deprived of the
work that could have been utilized in
making 5, 800, 900 lines of pearl buttons
The amount of duty collected on foreign
pearl buttons in 1898 was 1895, 245. In
1895 it was $241,19 By the German
law the American government lost
$3.50, 900 of revenue, while American Ia
Dor lost the work of making 8, 800, 600
lines of buttons Who derived any bene-
fit from this species of tariff reform?"
Not our government, not our workers,
but foreign manufacturers and foreign
labor.

raised, was the care of the insane.
The estimate for 1891-92 was $780,
600, but the cost was $685., 1913 or
$232,523 more than the estimate.
This act seems stranger when it is
called to mind that the cost for the
previous two years was $786,939, or
$136,939 more than the estimates.
The foregoing figures are not exactly
correct, as the fiscal year ends June
80, but the comparisons are all on
the same bases.
"The Legislature of 1898 levied in
taxes, for 1898, 81 1881 PA and for
1894, 81, $50, l35, total for the two
years of S3,62O,349 and it made APP
preparations amounting to Sl72,OOO
in which no taxing clause was in
corporated. 1t is proper to say that
this Legislature was unaware of the
condition of the treasury, or it is
reasonable to presume the matter
would have been remedied.
ssThe balance December 81, 1894,
was minus of $66,S94 and 100000
had been borrowed to bridge over
until the taxes could be collected.
The Legislature of 1895 appropriated
for 1895, S2,733,9l9 or thereabouts,
and for 1896 about 81, 100000. The
tax levy for 1895 was s3,013,919 and
for 1896 it is estimated it will be
about $2,OS3,SOO.
eThe balance at the close of bust
ness December 8, 1895, was $751;
GLAD, but there had been borrowed
100000, and $4,000 advanced by
Wayne county. There are taxes
due from various counties and from
insurance companies and charter
railroad companies, which will en-
able the bills to be met until the
money from the present tax levy can
be realized. There will, therefore, be
$563,S00 to apply on the deficiency.
Then the expenses of the Legislature
amounting to s123,929 have been
paid, and $4,000 for strike ex-
penses.
''The census, amounting to, prob
ably, $4,000 has been paid. There
will be some interest to pay on loans,
and some received for deposits, but
which will not materially change the
result. There is also being consider
able expended in the collection OF
accounts against counties which have
been delinquent in payment of taxes,
but there will be from 100000 to
$3.50, 900 collected which would other.
wise not have been paid to the state.
Gin view of the increased expense
1t is possible there Will be small
deficiency at the close of the year
1896, but every effort is being made
to collect past due taxes and to
keep down expenses.
"This in brief is the present condi-
ton of the treasury, and the cause OF
the present high taxes. 1t is to be
sincerely regretted that this high tax
comes when people feel so lily able
to pay, but the appropriations are no
more than the necessities of the state
and It's varied interests and institu.
tions require, and the honor of the
state and of its people demands that
the unauthorized debt be Cancelled
at the earliest possible moment"

Cattle and Free Trade.

In June, 1895, English farmers car
ried 100000 head Of cattle. Three
years before the same farmers owned
5000, 900 head. Thus a decline of 10
per cent is shown in SO months. In
1895 there were about 800, 900, 900 sheep
in Great Britain. The falling off in
English flocks during the last few years
has been very marked. -Report Of SEQ

Anssi Wright Has . Thrilling Expsrisnce
In the Peoria Yards.
Ansei }. Wright had thrilling ex-
perience while pursuing his duties
a. switchman in the Rock Island &
Peoria yards early last evening. He
escaped with q broken toe and q
wrenched ankle, however.
Mr.. Wright was . member of the
night crew. The engine with which
he was working had Just come out of
the repair shops, where it seems the
tightening Of the foot board on the
front Of the locomotive was over
looked. At any rate Mr.. Wright was
standing on this while the
engine went putting through the
yards. He felt something giving
way and had presence Of mind
enough to take q secure hold ON the
handle rail. This alone saved him
from . frightful death. as the next
moment the foot board gave way and
the lower portion of his body was
dragging along under the engine.
He hung on in this position while
the engine was covering nearly q
block. Then it was brought to q
standstill, when it was found that
Mr.. Wright's left foot had been
caught in frog. He was taken to
his home on Fifth avenue, where
Drs. s. c. Plummer and J. DeSilva
attended him.

The Vice Prooidsacy.

The chances are now that even the
vice presidency on the Mckinley
ticket will furnish little Amusement
for the man who loves fight. The
McKiuleyites are 30 largely in con-
troll that what the Mckinley leaders
prescribe will probably be done with
out much question. The only un-
certainty 1t present Is as to what the
Mckinley leaders will prescribe.
The chief element which will regu.
late the choice OF the leaders il q
desire on their part Of conciliating
Plat, who has hitherto been Mckin-
ley's most unwavering enemy. For
this reason the idea, which is said to
have been first entertained, Of giving
the nomination to H. Clay Evans,
has been abandoned. The choice 10
now said to lie between Platt's prin-
cipal, Gov. Levi Morton OF New
York. and Garrett Hobart Of New
Jersey. with ex-Secretary Of the
Navy Tracy Of New York, mentioned.
Each Of these persons fills the first
requirement OF . vice presidential
candidate-that he must 30 rich, and
each dlls the other requirement in
the present case-that he must come
from . place near Platt's demesne.

A bulletin from the Ohio station re-
ports results of series of experiments
made on the station farm at Wooster III
1890 III the treatment Of oats for the
prevention of smut, in which it was
shown that from duplicate samples of
seed taken from the same sack the un-
treated seed produced as high as 10 per
cent of smutted heads, while the treated
seed produced u considerably larger crop
entirely free from smut These expert
ments haEa been repeated with the same
result III lSJG, u year vixen the smut of
obs has been exceptionally prevalent.
1t has also been demonstrated that, with
"a very slight modification the same
treatment will absolutely prevent the
striking smut of wheat From the re
ports which have como to the station it
seems probable that the farmers of Ohio
have this year lost not less than half a
million dollars from oat smut alone.

Ever since the silO has come into reg
ular use IN preserving the corn CROP
dairymen have been studying to find the
best muscle making grain to feed with
the ensilage. Cottonseed meal is the
cheapest form of muscle makers, and
there is no safer way in which to feed II
than with corn ensilage Some farmers
have always felt that they could grow
muscle making crops cheaper than they
can buy cottunsecd meal, bran or othel
grain. For example, we have told how
Mr.. Bancroft of Delaware uses hun
dreds of tons of crimson clover and COW
peas IN the silo These crops help bal
anceo the corn eusilage and cut down
the grain bill. There are farmers who
feel that, with present low prices fol
dairy products, good clover hay and a
few pounds of wheat bran will act like
the meat in sandwich to even up the
ensilage.
In Canada mixture of one part sun
flower heads, two parts horse beans and
four parts corn are put into the sllo to-
gether in the hope of obtaining ensilage,
which is of itself balanced ration.
This plan of growing muscle making
crops ot the home farm is not advocated
az strongly as II WAS several years ago.
The price Of bran and oottonseed meal
has fallen so low that in many cases the
old argument fails, and it is actually
cheaper to buy grain than it Is to grow
clover or peas. In many cases it actual
~ pays best to raise heavy crop of corn
for the silo on the land nearest the oarn
and put the other grass land into tim
othy to be sold every year, the money
obtained for it 10 be spent for grain rich
i'll muscle makers. That is just what
some long headed dairymen are doing,
and they are making a success of it, toe,

The object of the bill to appropriate
800, 600 for sinking artesian wells in
the eastern part of Colorado, introduced
in congress by Mr.. Shafroth is to test
the strength Of the undcrflow of water
which exists III the eastern portion of
Colorado. II seems TO be the opinion of
many of thlse who have given the sub
jcct considerable study that the forco
and amount of the underflow that drains
the Rocky mountains would he sufficient
to irrigate the arid land east of the
mountains. The experiment with arte-
sian wells in the city of Denver has
been very successful, and if the theory
above referred to is found to be true the
necessity for the further construction of
large irrigating canals will be obviated.
If these wells prove successful, the prob
lem of irrigation will be solved, so far
as eastern Colorado is concerned, and
millions Of dollars will be thereby saved
which otherwise will have to be put in
large bitches and reservoirs. The arid
lands in Colorado are exceedingly fer
tile and ultimately will he reclaimed.
But, says The Orange Judd Farmer, if
artesian wells can produce this result
the time OF reclamation will be add
vanced 30 years The matter is also Of
deep interest III western Kansas, Ne
braska, Texas and Oklahoma.
