A bill has been introduced In the

TO the committee ON appropriations for
the creation OF n special commission on

A STUDY OF DEBT.
Democratic and Republican Methods
shown Up Side by Side.

Democratic and Republican Methods
shown Up Side by Side.
The figures representing the republic
an and democratic methods of
treating the matter of public indebted
ness are so impressive and instructive
that they deserve to be urged strongly
upon the attention of the people who
pay the debts. Between March /. 1869,
and March l, 1898 when Mr.. Cleveland
returned TO Office, the debt payments
or the republican party amounted to
Sl,ss1, 1861 .S73. Between March /. 1895.
and March l, 1896 (under the rule of Mr..
Cleveland), the national debt was in
creased to the extent of S262. 6O2 PAS.
That is to say, since Mr.. Cleveland's
return to office he has put back upon
the people just about onc-scventh of the
debt that his republican predecessors
took off. Give him little more time
and no doubt he would restore the
whole of it. The American Economist
presents the fact in another interest
ing form, as follows:
Republican monthly decrease of
Democrat,c monthly incrca a.: 30 n4"
ucDt, lsyS-lSSG ...............$7,50 2 1921. %
This is the work of the great states
man whose soul burned within him,
eight years ago, as he observed a sur
plus in the treasury. In his letter of
acceptance, in 1883, Mr.. Cleveland said:
I'm reviewing the bad effects of this ac-
cumulated surplus and the scale OF tarir
rates by which IL is produced we must not
overlook :he tendency toward gross and
scandalous public extravaganza which a
congestcd treasury produces"
And now the question is whether a
tariff produced surplus is really more
dangerous or eNtravagnnt than n de
ficiency created by tariff Legislation
and made up by buying gold at 20 per
cent premium from bankers who take
it out again Mt par. The American peo-
pie will supply an answer at the polls

Free-trade increase. III. Sn.&05 SIG. SIS. $50
Free trade in the raw material of
wooden manufacturers means nearly
double the quantity of foreign wool
used here, to the detriment of Amer
ican wool, and just double the amount
of gold sent abroad to pay for Il. The
extra sl6,s1s,ss3 shipped to foreign
farmers would have served much bet
ter purpose had il been distributed
among American sheep raisers. 1t
would have helped our own people won
derfully in paying interest on their
farm mortgages, perhaps in prevent
ing the mortgage of their farms. or
in improving them. or in paying off a
little of the village store account. But
farmers must not expect this under
free trade. They can only wait patient
ly till we have a republican congress
and republican president in 1897,
when, we trust, such tariff law will
be enacted as will exclude every pound
OF foreign wool, and enable American
farmers to secure the whole of the 30
and odd millions of dollars of gold that
we shipped abroad last year TO pay
for il.

LUBlN'S DEAD SCHEME.
1t Would Tax'Americars Directly to Make
Cheaper Hood for Europenns

Sheaper Food for Europeans.
1t is deserving of attention that the
so-called Lubin project for giving ex-
port bounties to American farm prod
ucts is now being strongly pressed
upon the republican party. The plan
has received the Endorsement of the
national grange, representing the
farmers oranges throughout the coun-
try. and the theory is advanced by some
timid souls that, unless the republican
party shall commit itself to the scheme.
the farmers will not heartily sustain
the protective policy as applied to man
ufactures.
1t is false assumption, made by the
advocates of the Lubin project, that
tariff protection does not help the
farmer. The decline of American wool
growing since the withdrawal of the
duties from wool proves the inaccuracv
of this contention, which is, indeed.
also demonstrated by the fact that the
imports of agricultural products rose
in the first nine months of this year,
as compared with the imports for the
corresponding period last year, from

whether the tariff helps the farmer as
whether the Lubin plan will promote
their interests and the interests of the
nation. Everybody admits that we are
selling to Europe just now our food
products At unreasonably small prices.
and, of course, at the cost of the Amer
icGn people. who would be better Off
in both their domestic and foreign
trade, were prices higher. The Lubiu
plan would simply tax the American
people directly for the purpose of max
ing our food still cheaper to the Euro
pean consumer. Part OF the tax would
go to the farmer; but if he should re-
duce his selling price, as competition
would impel him to do, he would sur
render much. or perhaps all. TO his Gus
toners in Europe. 1t will be indeed
surprising il this nation shall willing
ly become n party to such n transaction.

KEEPING COWS CLEAN.
Just Before Milking IL the Best Time for
Grooming.

Grooming.
IL one-half is true that the scientists
tell us about the extreme susceptibility
OF milk TO taints and disease germs. the
Importance of keeping cows clean can
not be exaggerated.
Assuming that for their own com.
fort and for the sake of keeping the
milk clacn, the cows are TO be brushed
ard groomed. where and when shall it
be done? If in the stables where they
arc 10 be MIXED, then the atmosphere
of the stables must soon become loaded
with the dust and dirt, brushed or
cardcd from the cows. and the milk ia
more likely to be contaminated than if
the filth had been allowed 10 stay ON the
cows. The practice in good horse sta
bles is TO take the horse out of the stall
for grooming.
The cow needs grooming more than
the horse. and in the opinion Of the
Jersey bulletin. it is of vastly more i'm
oortauce TO those who are To drink her
milk. Certainly, then, the cow is ell
dtled 20 as much pains, as the horse.
and should be gToOmed i'm separate
place from that in which she is MIXED.
For this purpose, an open shed is per-
haps best. As practical test of the
value OF grooming cows, we suggest
that those who doubt it,. make fair
trial 10y carefully weighing the milk Of
two or three cows for three weeks or
30 days without grooming them, and
then. grooming them thoroughly for
the same time. note IL there is any per-
ccptible difference that can be fairly at
tributed TO the grooming. That the
cows will feel better, look better and
really he better off, we have not
the least doubt.
