BRITISH WHEAT BUYERS.


acterizes Business Dealings.
Free traders tell US that protectiv
tariff policy prevents our exporting
goods to foreign parts. Whether the re-
peated assertion of this argument Is
based on an assumption of the produ-
GERS ignorance we do not know. We
have never heard a free trader go be-
yond the bold assertion to any explana-
ton how tariff on imports affected ex-
ports very materially.
1t will be borne in mind that there IS
to be no tariff on exports, yet they tell
us that we will kill our foreign market
if we protect our home market. How?
Who will explain how? When asked to
explain how that effect is produced by
protective tariff, the usual answer is:
"Why, if we tell England she shall not
ship her manufactured goods into the
United States in competition with
American goods of course England Will
say to the United States, Then we will
not buy your wheat nor your flour "
Now that is an explanation based
wholly on the idea that it is England as
nation which buys our products, and
there is just the error which is the
foundation of the free traders strongest
argument. England buys no wheat nor
! anything else from us, unless it is lit
tie to supply her army and navy. 1t is
not England, but it is an Englishman--
an individual, not nation--that does
the purchasing.
Now that English wheat buyer is not
| the individual who owns knife fac
torv at Sheffield, he is not the man who
runs cotton factory, he is not the fell
| low who controls the Irish linen mills,
he is not even second cousin of the
chap who manufactures silks.
When that wheat buyer goes down on
'change at Liverpool, he is not likely
to stop and say to himself: "That Yam
kee congress has passed law which
prevents some linen factories of Ireland
from selling linen to Minnesota people,
| and the result of that law will be that
after awhile the fax of Minnesota will
be made into linen right near the Mill
| nesota farmers. Therefore I'll not buy
any No hard wheat of the Red river
valley,
No, that wheat buyer does not worry
half so much about the English knife
maker or the Irish linen manufacturer
as he does about the fact that the tele-
graph shows him that wheat is selling
| for ha penny lower in Minneapolis to-
day than it was yesterday and that
| therefore he can get Yankee wheat more
cheaply than he can Australian OF
| Venezuelan wheat.
There is heap of sentimentalism
about the free traders gush concerning
the brotherhood of all nations, but when
it comes down to the business of buying
and selling the individual looks after
the individual. 1t is a selfish world, q
very practical world, i'll business mat

MEXICO'S FOREIGN DEBT.
Kiting Skyward as Their Silver Currency
Goes the Other Way.


Goes the Other Way.
What simple minded children Of ma
ture those Mexicans are! Here all their
multitudinous foreign debt is leaping
skyward as their silver currency sinks
into the pit. The annual interest Oh
their national bonds has risen 81, 000,-
000 in week. Their railway securi
ties, held abroad and all payable in
gold, are weakening at the sight of the
fearful increase in premium which
these corporations will have to pay to
discharge their obligations. But the be-
nighted heathens never SO much as
whisper reputation. Apparently they
know not what it means. The notion
that the creditor class" should be-
obliged to take Alt grains of silver in
discharge of dollar of debt without
regard to the value Of the grain has
never penetrated their opaque Central
American skulls. Poor honest foolsl
But Bryan is going there, and Bryan
will teach them better. He will tell
them that the main purpose of the con-
vention which nominated him was to
legalize the payment Of 100 cent gold
dollar foreign debt in 30 cent silver dol
lar domestic coin. He will quote Alt
geld in the convention hall gloating
over this very prospect and almost in
these very words. He will tell how Joe
Blackb burn in Tammany hall gleefully
depicted the foreign creditor backing
up his Cart to the treasury for 30 cent
dollars in place Of the 100 cent dollars
he lent. He will quote the great major
ity Of the convention which affirmed
this position in the vote on Senator
Hills resolution against the impair
ment of "gold clause" contracts-that
is, he will if he is true to the cardinal
article of his faith. And if he does

ACCORDING to advices received by the

in prices in Mexico caused by the drop in
silver, but no corresponding advance IN
wages or salaries which still stay on

wages is worse off than he ever was. The

times in three"
Jack had manners enough to remain
on deck until lhe departing visitor was
out of sight; then he entered his little
cabin, threw himself on tho bed, and
did the hardest and most disconnected
thinking OF which he ever had been
guilty. If Lizzie MaZzitt had been be-
fore Lis eyes re could not have seen her
more plainly than he did lying there
with his eyes shut. The whole thing
was utterly ridiculous but it was
also very real. A handsome young
Woman-a clear case OF Lcreli-
tary singing out of a single mana
young man impressed as he never had
been before, and all in an atmosphere
that seemed redOlcnt Of love and all
manner Of sweetness What would peo-
pie at home say: Hang the people at
home! His mother and sisters had
never known him to be mistaken in his
estimates OF human nature; they would
trust him now; and as to others, it was
none of their business. He would have
no time for lovc-makins; all su h af-
fairs in New Hampshire took o full year,
unless they began in the sum, ler and a
fellow had 10 marry before planting
season, SO as not to waste time. He
might try to hasten things little, so as
not to delay his move up the river at
the proper tmc-try to make the girl
better acquainted with him, so that she
would be willing to wait for him until
the next season; but how awful it would
be to be separated from her for a year
be separated from this girl whom he
had seen for about half an hour-no
more! What nonsense!
Remembering that he had not break
tasted, he made some coffee and ate a
biscuit; at dinner time his appetite was
equally doubtful. He paced the shore
beside the boat, arguing with himself,
and finally informed himself that he
never before had heard of such a fool.
He would 90 right up to the cabin and
see whether this girl was really what
his fancy had painted her; girls beat
Satan Tor appearing in different guises,
as he had learned to his sorrow.
He reached the cabin in the middle Of
the afternoon, and the girl stood in the
doorway. It was the same girl; tritle
less brilllancy Of complexion, perhaps,
than on the previous evening, but with
moro earnestness in her face. She
seemed to be looking for some one.

blush that seemed to Jack like a sun

ward it was a very stupid and stilted
speech, but the,e arc times when young
men can't be sensible.
Pop knows Tn perfectly able to take
care OF myself" said the girl, with an
arch smile which robbed Jack at once OF
his senses, though it made him respect
the speaker all the more. Still, he ven
tured to say:
IF you're not, you're welcome to call
upon me any time. now or forever
The girls eyes opened wide, though
without (! bit of fear. Jack went on:

honestly as il she was talking OF some

tho young man persisted. i don't I'M
dcrstand much but honey and human
nature, but I do profess to know all
that's worth knowing about both of
them. I'm filling my boat with the best
honey that ever was taken North, but it
would be great deal swecter. and so
would my life be forever, if could take
you, too.
Are you ioking?" asked the girl, with
a very serious face.
Il never was moro in earnest in my
life" said Jack, lifting his hat and bow
ing his head.
I'D follow you all over the world"
n1urmured the girl. Jack looked up
quickly, and saw a face so trans1igured
that he took it TO his heart to make
sure that it was real. He found that it
was; SO he kept it there for some mo-
ments, releasing it only for second or
two at a time for purposes which need
not be explained to any one who has
been in love.
Jack never could explain to his family
and friends; all he could say was that
there was something peculiar and de-
licious about the air OF the Louisiana
lowlands. Certain it is that he married
Lizzie within the week, for the bees
were demanding fresh flowers, and there
began among tho hives a honeymoon so
long that it has not yet ended.

RuttercuDS.

Most people fancy that this bright
little flower takes it's name from but
ter itself. This history of it's name
reveals a different origin, however.
In old English this flower was known
as the "button-cop," which means
simply "button-hcad," in allusion to
the round button-shaped flowers. The
word cop meant head in old English,
but it has now been superseded by
cup, and the old meaning has been
wholly lost. Button gradually de-
generated into butter, until every
one now says "butter-cup." This is
4 peculiar instance in which the
common name of plant suggests its
own origin, but suggests it falsely.
The buttercup was once known as
"gold-cop," or "gold-hcad," and king
cop names which are still preserved
in England in "gold-cup" and king
cup" The buttcrcup is a native Of
Europe, where for centuries it has
been held in much cstccm. 1t was
once worn by lovers at their betroth-
ais. and in more classical history it's
golden color was dedicated to Hymcn.
The buttercup was introduced into
America many years ago, and has now
become a weed. The double garden
variety has long been cultivated.
When eaten, it leaves a harsh, bitter,
and acrid sensation, often so intense
as to produce serious poisoning. In
fact, it is a common notion in many
countries that the pretty buttercup
is poisonous to cattle. Certain it is
that cattle seldom eat it unless it is
dried in hay, when it's poisonous
properties are lost.

THE VALUE OF COAL ASHES.

from my own experience and many
inquiries from neighbor farmers {
have reached definite conclusion
that coal ashes have truly a CONNER
cial value. Some years ago we hauled
number of loads of coal ashes and
scattered them thick]y on low, wet
piece OF land. The following winter
the bottom was plowed for corn, the
ashes turned under, and the result
was that where tho ashes were put
there was marked difference in the
yield. The following year the same
field was put in corn again, and as the
ashes had brought forth such wonder
full results We covered another plat
before blowing, aud the same marked
difference the following year, in the
increase, was noted on both rlats that
were covered with ashes.
The most wonderful part OF the fer.
tility of coal ashes is yet to come.
After the second CROP the bottom was
sown to wheat and grass, aud while I
will'not say that any difference could
be noted on either wheat or grass, I
will say that after the land had re-.
manned in grass for three years it was
again plowed and put in corn, and the
very spots that had been covered with
the ashes could be noticed in the
yield. This goes to show that they
are beneficial for years, as they had
now been in the ground four and five
years respectively.
Before the ashes were applied the
ground was heavy and soggy, but the
following summer in tending the crop
marked difference was noted in the
condition of the ground. There is no
doubt whatever in this latitude. South
ern Ohio, that coal ashes are beneficial
on wet or clavey land. As one farmer
puts the situation, while there may
not be much substance or fertilizing
properties in them they are an excel.
lent neutralizer, and adds that he has
used them to marked advantage where
ground is heavy, as they have a
tendency 10 loosen it.-A. r. Harding,
