Apple Sauce That Will Keep.

This IS as great a convenience as
preserves, the preparation of apples
for sauce not being always convenient
for the busy housekeeper. Inferior
apples may be used in this way, and
the windfalls of early autumn, when
one is fortunate enough to own an
orchard will be found quite available.
They should be peeled, cored and freed
from every blemish, then cut up in
quite small pieces. A large earthen
jar with cover should be ready to re-
ceive them. Into this put first a
liberal sprlnkling of sugar, with cinna-
mon to taste, then layer of apples,
then more sugar and cinnamon, and
so on till the jar is full. The sugar
should be regulated according to the
tartness of the apples, from a quarter
to half pound to one pound of apples
being the rule. The jar should be
placed at the back of the range and
the fruit kept covered and gently
simmering through the day. 1t
should then be set away to cool, and
the apples taken out only as they are
needed for sauce or desserts. Having
no water mixed with them, apples
prepared in this way are very palatable

Got Them Mixed

The editor OF the weekly journal
lost two of his subscribers through
accidentally departing from the beaten
track in his answer to correspondents.
Two of his subscribers wrote to ask
him his remedy for their respective
troubles. No. l, happy father OF
twins, wrote to inquire the best way
to get them safely over their teetffing
and No. 2 wanted to know how to pro
tect his orchard from the myriads OF
grasshoppers. The editor framed his
answer upon the orthodox lines, but
unfortunately transposed their two
names, with the suit that No l, who
was blessed with the twins, read in re-
ply to his query: "Coyer them care
fully with straw and set fire to them
and the little pests after jumping
about in the flames for few minutes
will speedily be settled" While No,
2, plagued with grasshoppers, was told
to Give q little castor oil, and rub
their gums gently with bone ring"

Mckinley on Reciprocity.

Another declaration of the republi-
can platform that has my most cordial
support is that which favors reciprocity.
The splendid results of the reciprocity
arrangements that were made uuder
authority of the tariff law of 1890 are
striking and suggestive. The brief pc
Rod that they were in force, in most
cases only three years, was not long
enough to thoroughly test their great
value, but sufficient was shown by the
trial to conclusiyely demonstrate the
importance and the wisdom of their
adoption. In 1892 the export trade OF
the United States attained the highest
point in our history. The aggregate
of our exports that year reached the
immense sum of-~$1 ,03O, PTS, 14S, a
sum greater by $1O0,O00,OOO than
the exports Of any previous year. In
1893 owing to the threat of unfriendly
tariff legislation, the total dropped to
$847 ,665, 1914. Our exports of domestic
merchandise decreased $189,7OO,OOO,
but reciprocity still secured us large
trade in Central and South America,
and larger trade with the West In
dies than we had ever before enjoyed.
The increase of trade with the coun-
tries with which we had reciprocity
agreements was $3,560,515 over our
trade in 1892, and SIG, 44O,741 over our
trade in 1884,. The only countries
with which the United States showed
increased exports in 1898 were practi-
cally those with which we had reci-
procity arrangements. The reciproci-
ty treaty between this country and
Spain, touching the markets of Cuba
and Costa RIGA, were announced Sep
TENDER l, 1891. The growth of our
trade with Cuba was phenomenal In
1891 we sold that country but lii, AL
barrels of flour; in 1892, 366,175; in
1898, GIG, 4O6, and in 1894, 662,248.
Here was growth of nearly 500 per
cent, while our expectations of flour to
Cuba for the year ending June 80, 1895,
the year following the repeal of the
reciprocity treaty, fell to 379, 1856 barrel,
loss of nearly half our trade with
that country. The value of our total
exports of merchandise from the Unit
ed States to Cuba in 1891, the year
prior to the negotiation of the recip-
ocity treaty, was $12,224,0SS; in
1892, $17 1853, 579; in 1893, $24, 157 sos;
in 1894, $20,125, 321: but in 1895, after
the annulmento of the reciprocity agree
ment, it fell to only $12,S87 ,661.
Many similar examples may be given
of our increased trade under reciproc-
ity with other countries, but enough
has been shown of the efficacy of the
legislation of 1890 to justify the speedy
restoration of its reciprocity provisions.
In my judgment, congress should
Immediately restore the reciprocity
section of the old law, with such
amendments, if any, as time and
experience sanction as wise and proper.
The underlying principle of this legis-
lation must, however, be strictly OBJ
served. 1t is to afford new markets
for our surplus agricultural and manu-
featured products without loss to the
American laborer of single days
work that he might otherwise procure.
