OUR MANUFACTURES.

AS the Republicans are shouting high
tariff lust now because Mckinley is the
apostle of that delusive and Ubiquitous
doctrine the following from the Chicago
Chronicle will prove of interest:
The Hopkins subcommittee of the house
which is cut hunting for reciprocity
campaign material has obtained some i'll
formation from the pillow company of Mo-
line, III. The company, according to its
own statement, does not limit its activi-
ties to the manufacture of ploWs, but ex-
tends them to- the manufacture Of other
AGRICULTURAL implements.
1t is of interest to learn that POSSIBLY .
to 10 per cent of the product goes abroad: -
also that Eve have made no direct effort
to secure foreign trade by sending repre-
sentatives abroad, except into Manitoba 2
What is true of this company in regard to
seeking foreign trade is true of American
manufacturers generally, and it is even
more true in other lines than in that Of
agricultural implements, because in that
particular line we enjoy special adyan-
tages and can compete more successfully
in neutral markets. Is. .5s+ Fl.
ST. II is the testimony Of our consular of
.doars and commercial agents. @ u - that

For the Farmers.

A great many farmers who are quite
ready to spend money on labor saving
implements to be used on the farm do not
see the matter n the same light when
it comes to e. eniences for the dairy,
which save the :. )or of the women folks.
ii should be the right of every farmer 3
wife who keeps three or more cows, to in
sist on having a creamery, or if the
dairy is larger, separator. 1t is not
merely labor that will be saved by these
utensils. They make it possible to secure
a larger portion of the cream product,
while yet leaving the milk in better con-
dition for feeding to pigs and other stock
than that which has had it's milk skim
med from it in pans. The saving Of
cream by either the creamer or separator
will pay larger interest on their cost than
the farmer can make from most of his
purchases to aid him on the farm. 1t is
therefore wise investment of money.
With a separator run by light steam
power the use of the latter can be applied
to many kinds Of work. such as running
sewing machines or turning the grind
stone, the latter job that has made more
than one boy so disguised with farming
that he never got over it.
The Irish standard., 1896-03-28
WHAT OF M'KINLEY?

What will all these Republicans who
are shouting for protection do should
Mckinley be turned down at st. Louis?
They couldn't very gracefully take up
with low tariff man or fair tariff
man after the efforts they have made for
the man from Ohio-the weakest man
intellectually and as statesman among
all the others-Reed, Morton, Allison, or
even those just emerging from state
of chrysalis such as Henderson, Brad
lev. Cullom or any others who lived in
the open glow for time and then sub
sided, such as Harrison and our own
Cush Davis.
But even should Mckinley be elected
he would be weaker than any of the
others mentioned for the purpose of ad-
vocating and carrying into effect the
principles of protection. He knows less
about the tariff than any of the others
When in congress he never was dlstln-
guishable for his ability in the discus
sion OF that question. On the stump his
arguments are crude when they are not
stolen from more thoughtful minds. In
the public prints he has never discussed
the matter to any appreciable extent;
has never aided his theories by any new
light, and has never convinced any one
by an array Of facts. except those who
are willing to be convinced because pro-
lection was the shibboleth of the party,
1t was by accident his name has become
identified with the theory and he has &C
cepted the prominence it has given to
his individuality as graciOusly as If he
had properly earned the distinction. AS
demagogue Mckinley has been a sue
cess to the utmost of his ability in that
direction. but he has shown little evil
dence of developing into a statesman as
time rolls on He is clever enough to
utilize all the applause that is sent up in
his favor and play the part of wisdom by
remaining silent on important matters
When forced to speak, as ON the silver
question, he juggles with words in such
way as to satisfy those who think him
honest, mystify those who are trying to
learn the truth and disgust those whose
minds he cannot befog.
Such is the savior of the nation whom
the bowling mobs are clamoring for just
now
