Which Do You Prefer?

Protection and prosperity are synony-
nous terms, just as free trade and fail
ure seem to accord with each other.
This nation has adopted protection for
it's land industries and they have pros
pered beyond those Of any other nation.
We have turned our ships on the sea
over to the free competition Of foreign
ships, and they have been sold off Or
laid up until they are almost unknown
in the ports of the world. But once we
protected our ships, just as we do our
land industries, and by the same In
strument-the tariff. Protection caused
prosperity then, just as free trade has
caused failure now. How much longer
shall we suffer free trade to destroy
our shipping, to perpetuate monopoly
in carrying our foreign commerce for
foreign ships? When the tariff does
for American ships af1oat what it does
for our industries on the land, as it did
in our earlier history, then everything
American will prosper Prosperity will
not stop at the seaboard as it does now.

Helps in Laundry Work.

Sort your clothes in five grades. First,
towels, table and bed linen; second,
family linen; third, hght-colored
clothes; fourth, dark-colored clothes;
fifth, fannels and stockings.
Have plenty Of the best soap, with
borax, starch and bluing at hand. Add
borax to the water in the proportion OF
one tablespoonful to pail of water.
Colored cotton clothing Of delicate
shades should have the color set be-
fore washing. Add of salt heaping
tablespoonful to each pailful of cold
water, and do not apply soap directly
to the article.
A little kerosene oil put in the hot
starch will prevent it from sticking.
A teaspoonful of boraX to quart Of
cold starch will make it stiff. Table
cloths should have as few creases In
them as possible. Crease them twice
lengthwise; have them very damp and
iron them perfectly dry; fold over once
or twice, according to their lengths, ami
place them carefully in a long drawer.
Fold napkins square with the initial
on the outside. They should always be
ironed perfectly dry; then put away
nicely in the drawer.

The earliest planting Of potatoes
ought always to be much shallower
than late in the season If the seed is
planted deep, with the freshly cut
pieces in contact with wet and cold
soil, the potato will rot instead Of grow
ing. This can be prevened by cutting
the seed number Of days before
planting, and leaving the cut pieces in
place where they will dry out rapid
ly, and also be warm. Under such con-
ditions the buds will start slowly and
be Of dark green color If the cut pieces
are exposed to light, as they always
should be. The more thoroughly the
pieces are dried out, the better it will
be for early planting, provided the
buds have not started so far as to be-
gin to wither from lack Of support. In
the damp soil the cut potato absorbs
some of the moisture. This not only
dries the soil around it, but increases
It's warmth also, for as the water is
dried from the soil the surface air,
which in spring is always warmer
than the soil, comes in to take it's place.
If potato seed for early planting Is
managed in this way, the seed will not
rot in the soil. Besides, the crop will
be two weeks earlier than from unpre.
pared seed.-American Cultiyator.

Good Coffee.

Buy the unroasted. Wash and rinse
it, drain in colander until dry, then
put it in shoal pan and roast it in the
oven till it is a rich brown. 1t must be-
stirred often. When done, it should be
put in jars and sealed alright as soon
as taken out Of the oven. Only enough
for one meal should be ground at one
time. Tie this in piece of muslin or
fine cheese cloth, place in the coffee
pot with enough water to cover it, shut
the lid tight, put a cork stopper in the
spout of the coffee pot, so that none of
the flavor Of the coffee can escape, and
let it remain over night. In the morn
ing add enough boiling water to make
the required amount of coffee for
breakfast and set where it will cook
but not boil. Porcelain pots are best
for cooking coffee. as

A Forty Pound Suit of Clothes.

A suit Of clothes weighing forty
pounds would be a novelty. Yet it is
apparently the sort of suit which Prof.
Wilson contemplates for the average
American individual. He argues, in his
newspaper articles at so much per col
lmn for the New York Herald, that the
tariff placed on wool by the Dingley
blu viii add at least 20 per cent. to the
cost of a suit Of clothes. Since an in
crease Of 20 per cent. in the price of
suit of clothes means an increase of
probably S. in it's cost, and the pro-
posed duty on wool is II cents per
pound, Mn. Wilson must calculate that
forty pounds of wool would be used in
the manufacture Of a suit of clothes.
This is fair sample of the misleading
and absurd propositions upon which
the free traders build their theories and
sometimes get into office.

Half century's Experience.

For half century this country has
attempted, by fits and starts. to pro-
tect It's ships in the foreign trade by
the English system of subsidies. What
has been the result? Whenever we Sc
riously begin that system England dou-
ples the subsidies paid to her ships COM
peting with ours. If that is not suffi-
Gent to enable them to beat us, then
she increases their subsidies still more.
In little while, it has been found, the
American people get tired of this kind
of warfare, they look more and more
fixedly at the outgoing money from the
nationa! treasury, forgetful of the ben
eft the nation derives from owning it's
own ships, keeping their earnings in
our own country and giving employ
ment to our own people in all parts OF
the country. The next thing is the re
peal of the subsidy; then we see the
ships that have depended upon the
subsidy laid up, their owners ruined;
building stops; foreign ship-owners
come in and gobble UP the freight, for
titled and intrenched by their own Gov
eminent aid, and Americans are driven
out of the business That has been
our experience during the last half Of
the present century.

sUB-1RR1GAr1oN WITHOUT TILE.

The common practice is to remove a
ring of the bark Mr.. Dart, however,
advises removing spiral and finds
that this gives better satisfaction from
the fact that there is less danger of in
juring the tree. To make barren tree
bloom, girdling should be done the last
Of July or the first week in August.
About the only excuse for this prac-
tice is when it is desired to induce
early fruiting, SO as to learn the value
of a variety as soon as possible. Cut
out one-fourth inch Of bark around
some branch that will be removed any
how in pruning. This has been prac-
ticed by experimenters, but it inyari-
ably results in causing dead spot
difficult to heal over when the branch
Is finally removed. 1t is generally
agreed that the spiral system of grind
ing is the most satisfactory.

Rice as Food.

Rice is extremely light and easy of
digestion, and is free from all acidity.
The only precaution at all necessary in
the use of rice is to have it thoroughly
boiled, and it should Of course, be
drained and dried on the stove just be-
fore being served, so that each grain is,
separate. Rice is a very useful food
for elderly people and for children. AS
a medicine it may be employed with
er as a drink or ground rice pudding.
AS an anti-acid for heartburn or acid
ity, a little whole rice chewed occasion
ally will often afford more relief than
soda or magnesia.

Why the Wheels Don't Move.

Why the Wheels Don't Move.
Manufacturers are all waiting to
know just what rates the Dingley bill
will, when it becomes a law, impose
upon goods coming into competition
with them. Until they know this they
cannot enter upon large manufacturing
operations nor can business men give
them orders until they know what the
rates on foreign goods are to be. 1t is
this fact, and this only, which is retard-
ing the business activity expected I'M
der the new administration, and those
who feel disappointed that it has not
come ito the extent they hoped should
take this fact into consideration.
When the factories are able to start up
at full time with full wages, the farm
ers and others dependent upon the
business which comes from manufac
turing activity will feel the result.
