The Worlds Potatoes.

According to the New York Tribune
the worlds potato crop averages about
three billion bushels per year, or at
least $50, 900, 900 bushels more than the
wheat crop of the world. The Tribune
divided the potato crops of different
countries as follows: Germany, 7s4, 900.
900 bushels; Russia, 521, 900 900; France,
1885,, 600, 600; Austria, 2s5, 600, 600; United
States, 200, 900 bushels. The Cali
fornia Fruit Grower says that the Tri-
bune has somewhat overstated the crop
of the United States which, for the past
fifteen years, including the present,
has averaged ls5, 100000 bushels. The
crop in this country has never equaled
200, OOO, 900 bushels except for five crops
as follows: That of 1888, 208, 600, 900
bushels; 1888, 2O2, OOO, 900 bushels; 1889,
2ls, OOO, 600; 1891, 25O,OOO,OOO and 1895,
2S2, 100000 bushels. These figures are
taken from official sources and are
doubtless correct.

The Woolly Aphis.

Immediately after the fruit has been
gathered is the best time to attack the
woolly aphis on bearing fruit trees. The
station at Berkely, Cali, has demon
strated that the Bordeaux mixture, ar
senited, was a good destroyer of these
pests. 1t can be used according to form
ula of 6 pounds blue-stone, 10 pounds
lime, As gallons water, and if Paris green
is added the amount should be ounces
Il pound).
The most effective remedy used in the
orchards Of Washington last year was the
lime, sulphur and salt. This spray
should be thoroughly boiled and pre-
pared, and used as early as possible after
fruit-picking.
Double strength of the quassia and soap
solution is one of the best remedies for
woolly aphis during foliage season. The
formula is one pound quassia chips, one
pound soap to four gallons water, pre-
pared in the same manner as for the gem
eral solution. The sprays should be d.
rected on the stems Of the trees - much
n possible. Horticulturisf.

The Fish Commissioners Report.

The state fish commissioners report
for 1895 gives the total pack of the
Myers cannery at Seattle at $4,000
cases, 1.-The largest pack ever made by
one cannery in the state" The pack
of the Alaska Packing Association at
Point Roberts is reported at 53,11S
cases: that of the National Packing
company at Port Angeles at $4,000
cases, and of Island Packing company
here 10000 cases. THE ISLANDER Is
informed that at the Myers cannery
large number of humpbacked salmon
were packed, but as they are very
much inferior in quality to the sock
ewes the other cannerymen didn't pack
them. 1t is probable that the pack OF
the cannery here is understated. For
some reaeon the company objects to
giving the true figures for publication
but they have been reported as high as
36 900 cases. The commissioner reports

S7,O77 has been expended, principally
in the erection of hatchery on the

taking and cycling salmon spawn.
Nothing has yet been done toward the

A Colony Of HOllanders to Begin A New
Industry on WILDLY Island.
There is an excellent prospect that
Washington will soon demonstrate
more fully even than ever before the
fitness of it's soil for fax culture. The
effort is to be made by colony of Hol-
landers, who are to be brought out
from their native land and located Oh
WILDLY island. The party is to be in
charge of K. A. Bottema, who left Fri
day night on the Great Northern over
land, bound for Europe, where he will
make up the colony and return to this
country.
Mr.. Bottema will be accompanied as
far as st. Paul by r. E. Workman,
who is also to bring party of immi-
grants to this city, bound for WILDLY
island. He expects to return with
them during the first week of the new
year.
Advocates of a state immigration
society are inclined to view the move
ment of immigrants at the present
time as forerunner Of many thrifty
settlers to come during the next year.

WHEN WE WORKED OUR TAX OUT

Oh, our life was tough and fearful. and
its toll was often fearful,
And often we grew faint beneath the
load;
But there came a glad vacation and n
sweet alienation,
When we used to work our tax out on
the road.
When we used to work our tax out then
we felt the joys of leisure,
And we felt no mere the prick Of labor's
goad;
Then we shared the golden treasure of
sweet rest in fullest measure
When we used to work our tax out ON
the road.
There are sapient seers and sages who
predict, in coming ages,
Life's tragedy Of labor will be DER.
And glad full-f1edged millennium will
leap on the prosceniun,
And we'l play, but never labor any
more.
But we look not in the future for that
happy, halcyon hour
When Well throw off every burden,
every load;
For our Eden burst in flower, and we
dozed in leisure's bower.
When we used to work our tax out on
the road.
When we used to work our tax out QfI
let the bottom facts QUIT
We had somnolent contentment and
repose.
With no toll CT work to cumber US our
rest Is sweet and slumberous
And in deep, delicious dreaming did
we doze.
The drowsiness Of languid rest DER every
man was creeping,
And in calm, serene content we all
threw down our load;
Careless of lifes wall and weeping, every
blessed man was sleeping,
When we used to work our tax out on
the road.

MINERS OF ANTHRACITE COAL.
Three Hundred Workingmen from the
Pennsylvania Coal District.

Ahree hundred "orklnSmen from the
Pennsylvania Coal District.
The little reviewing stand was brought
into requlsition at this point, when the
crowd had become so dense that the
porch could no longer be used, and Mai.
Mckinley faced some 300 miners from
the anthracite district of PENNSYLVANIA,
who were introduced by Prof w. p.
Gregory. Maj. Mckinley responded as
follows:
"You have all found in your own
lives that if you get anything that is val
liable you have to work for it. You
have found in your own experience that
there is no way to earn a living or ac-
cumulate property except by labor and
toll, energy and industry, and by frugal
savings, and knowing that all that you
are interested in at this moment is how
you can best use what you have-your
labor, your farms, your products; in a
word, all you want is an opportunity
to work, and when that opportunity is
furnished you you will perform the la
bor,, and there are not enough minis
in the United States or in the world to
give employment to the miners of Penn
sylvanla. Therefore, my fellow citizens,
you must not be looking to the minis
for the money which you need. You
must look to the mines, to the mills and
the factories. Great applause) You do
not mine coal unless somebody wants to
use tndL coal, ana the more users of
coal there are, the more miners there
will be and the better will be their en-
ployment and their wages. (Cries of
Right, right.O
Now, that is the whole philosophy of
this business. (Applause) When You
have an opportunity to work you want
to be paid in dollars that are as good
as any in the world; when you have
given your good, hard blows in the
mines or in the factories, given the mine
owner or the factory Owner Il good, hon
est days work. you want to be paid in
good, honest dollars that will not de-
preciate over night. Tremendous cheer
ing.) So what the country wants is
work and the continuance of the good
money we have, and the prevalence of
law and order. We want peace and
tranquility in this country; we want TO
preserve the honor of the government
of the United States, and we will re-
nOunce reputation in every form. | am

POTTERY AND IRON WORKERS.
They Greet the Champion of Protection
to American industry.


The next visitors were from West Vir-
ginia and included pottery workers, iron
workers and club known as the Tariff
Champions of Wheeling. To these con-
solidated delegations Maj. Mckinley
said:
Gentlemen: Republicans seem to be
on all sides this year. Great laughter
and applause; a voice: And Demo-
crats.") And many Democrats are with
call of this large assemblagc from the
state of West Virginia. l am glad to

their families. The thought in every
mans mind here today is: How can

STEEL COMPANY EMPLOYEES.
A Delegation of Three Hundred Work
ingmen.


Concluding his preceding address to
the miners, Maj. Mckinley had to but
face about to find patiently awaiting an
audience of some 300 steel workers, en-
ployed by the Otis Steel company of
Cleveland. This party was introduced
by Otto Grabien, and Maj. Mckinley
responded briefly, saying:
81 am honored by this visit and en-
couraged by it because | know that you
bring to me assurances of loyalty to the
great principles of the Republican party
and of your untiring zeal to make these
principles victorious on the Sd day of
November. This audience fairly repre-
sents the conditions with which the bust
ness of this country is done. The men
on the other side of me mine coal. The
men on this side use coal in their mills,
and because you so use it the others
mine it. If you created no demand for
it there would be no demand for the
miner.
81 use this illustration to show you how
dependent we are upon each other; how
every thread of business is interviewer
with every other thread of business, and
when you snap one thread you injure all.
When the employer does not find it prof
table to manufacture he ceases to do so,
and when he does not manufacture you
do not have employment. When he finds
it profitable to manufacture you have
steady employment at fair wages. Now,
what we want to do in this country is
to favor whatever policy will encourage
American industry and promote Ameri-
can manufactures. That which will
build more factories and give more en-
ployment to wOrkingmen should be the
true, genuine and universally accepted
American policy.
Il am one of those who believe that
we should look after our own people be-
fore we look after the people of other
lands, who owe no allegiance to the gov
eminent of the United States. / believe
the right policy is the one which pro-
tects the American workshop by putting
a tariff upon the products of the foreign
workshop. My fellow citizens, do not
believe that we ought to have a tariff
policy that will let the products of cheap
er lands and of unpaid labor come into
this country and destroy our manufac-
tories and impoverish and degrade our
labor. The protective policy is my pol
icy. 1t is the doctrine l have always
believed in, and l make no apology to
anybody anywhere for holding that view,
and if on the 3D. day of"eNovember the

The employees of the Cleveland. Akron
and Columbus Railway company and
sound money clubs of Akron, O.. were
introduced by Mr.. Sampson, and were
addressed by the Republican nominee as
follows:
Il am glad to have the assurance
through your spokesman that you be-
lieve that the triumph of the principles
for which the Republican party now
stands will be best for you, and so be-
lieving that you intend to vote the Re-
publican ticket. / think you all for this
greeting. | feel that you are not strang-
ers to me. | have been riding over your
lines for more than twenty years, and I
know many of your employers: and | do
not know of any business in the country
where its employees can so definitely
know the condition of the business of the
country as the men who are employed
by the railroads. You know it in the
shop. you know it in the ticket office, you
know it travelling on the trains: every
switchman, every brakeman, every con-
ductor. and every engineer knows the
condition of the business of the country
and of the railroad by the amount of
business that railroad does. He knows
when the country is prosperous and when
it is in state of depression, and he does
not have to wait for the report of the di-
rectors of the railroad to know whether
