Ex-President Is Reminded of His Own
Party's Delay in Tariff LegisIation.

Somebody with a good memory has TAX
en- occasion TO remind ex-President Cleve-
land and the public who read his scold at
the Republican party because of its
promptness in carrying out its pledges
with reference to tariff legislation, of the
terrible experience of the people of the
United States during the eighteen months
in which his own party delayed its tariff
legislation. This reminder was brought
forth by Mr.. Cleveland's New York
speech, in which he criticised the Republi-
can leaders for their "hot haste in tax
ing up tariff legislation. The eighteen
months which elapsed between Mr. Cleve-
lands Inauguration in 1893 and the enact
ment of his free trade tariff law included
more than 10000 failures. with liabilities
acCregating more than 500 million dollars;
the Closing down of over 500 banks; the
appointment of receivers for about forty
railroads. whose Indebtedness amounted
10 n billion and a half dollars. and strikes
and lockouts costing the workingmen en-
gagged AS million dollars in wages lost
The total record of the eighteen months
includes strikes in New York and Michi-
gon in March. 1898; strikes in Chica 60

THE FARMERS AND PROSPERITY
Some Sensible Suggestions, Even il
They Do Come from the East.

Some Sensible Suggestions, Even il
They Do Come from the East
The common cry from the various Dem
ocrats floating around in cold and muddy
water since the flood of November, that
may be placed in language easily compre-
hended, is as follows:
Look here, you fellows have promised
the country good times, general prosper
ity, all that sort of thing, plenty of good
money, if Mckinley should be elected;
now, where is the money to come from
and how do you expect to get your good
times? There are just about five million
farmers watching you, and if you cannot
do something for them, you are gone
Can't you it already?'
In this connection it is customary to ask
the questions, What is it precisely the
farmers desire and expect? What would
satisfy them? You warn us that they are
revolutionists except conditions
fine the conditions.
And the answer is that the farmers
have not been making anything and they
want more money, and mean to have it
from one party If not from another. If
the Republicans do not give them aid, the
farmers will turn the whole Government
over to the Populist Democratic party,
and that is just what is in the wind nowi
AS for the farmers of America, they
will have to remember that they have not
the monopoly of grain and meat produc-
tina, India, southern Russia, Hungary
and the Dakotas, are plowed and sown
and reaped by machinery, that wheat
is grown at less expense than in any
former age, because there is less labor
needed to till the ground. More than that,
the world has by cheap power from cheap
coal and by cheap steel, been made COM
paratiyely small The lines of steel rails
across continents spanning great rivers
on steel bridges-the lines of steel steam
ers across the oceans-ten thousand tons
of freight driven five hundred miles a
day, finds the workingmen of the cities
in white bread. Farm products are cheap
ened by giving the populous nations that
carry en- manufacturing industries cheap
food along with frugal power and fast
Transportation. Well, is this to be regard
| ed as a calamity? This very cheap power
and rapid movement enlarges the area
that the men who work in shops can live
in-ziyes wife and children good air and
a chance for shade and grass and milk di-
rect from the cows in the summer time.
Butter comes from Australia by the thou
sand tons and breaks the butter markets,
so that golden butter goes with white
bread.
How are the farmers to be compensat-
ed? There is cne sure way. 1t is the es-
Establishment of home markets through the
diversity of industries. We cannot better
| the condition of farmers by multiplying
farmers.-New York Press.

CleyeIand's Little Joke.

Nobody ever before suspected Mr..
Cleveland of being humorist. Upon no
other theory, however, is it possible to ex-
plain his assertion made in his New York
speech the other night, that his party
defends the humble toiler against oppres-
sive exactions in his home and invites him
to the utmost enjoyment of the fruits of
industry, economy and thrift" The ex-
perience of the humble toiler" since Mr..
Cleveland came TO office four years ago
will hardly enable him to agree with tina

Coffee.

Gomez.
About this time last year there was q
heavy increase in the receipts OF coffee at
primary points. For instance, the receipts
at Rio and Santos for the week ending May
Is last year were 5000 bags. and during the
follow ing week they jumped 10 81 600 bags,
and for the week ending May 20 they were
80, 900 bags. At the present time receipts are
liberal, and the total crop movement to date
has been S.115, 900 bags. and some estimate
that the receipts during the balance OF this
month and during June will average about
$4,000 bags per day, With this daily aver
age there may be expected to come forward
the balance Of this crop year about 375, 900
bags. thus making the total crop for the
season. say $500, 600 bags, againt 6,476. 900
bags the previous crop year. With these
large supplies before the market there rs a
disposition on the part OF operators to hold
on, and this OF course tends to make trade
dull.

Amateurs are so afraid of the prun-

out her homegrown geraniums- such
leggy crooked specimens! Some of
the poor things are propped up by
sticks, and even then they wobble. [
should like to cut them all down, leav-
ing only the straight branches and
new wood land watch them grow I'M

from now would find them richly
clothed in green, with long stemmed
buds forming everywhere. AS it is
well, if they bloom satisfactorily be-

south, and should be screened by d
network of Towering vines. I have
repeatedly advised nasturtiums, which

When fixed in place they get up little

Flowers of South Florida.

A very interesting account of the
Flowers of South Florida is given by
j. Belden in the March number of
"Vick's Magazine.' A short extract is
here given:
''The oldest of our wild beauties is
the air plant, tillandsia utriculata,
which grows on the limbs of rough
parked trees. [ have seen large trees
nearly covered with this curious form
of vegetation, from tiny baby plants,
resembling fringy blue-green grass,
to big plants with leaves two to three
feet long by two inches wide, beauti-
fully recurved. The flowers are odd,
and the buds, which are slow to open,
are of a lovely crimson color, and real
ly prettier than the open flower. Gov
er block of wood with moss or get a
limb Of any rough barked tree, and
wire the plants and hang up in win
dow and they will grow and bloom,
only requiring little water in their
We tie them to our veranda posts and
they are very odd and pretty.
Another odd and interesting plant,
growing right beside the tillandsia Oh
the bark of the trees, is the Butterfly
Orchid, epidendrum venosum. The
plant is composed of a mass of green
bulbs and narrow, thick, green, waxy
leaves. The flowers are produced in
spikes being an inch or more in diam
eter of beautiful shades of pink and
greenish chocolate color, changing in
q few days to rich gold and chloe
olate. The flowers are very dainty
and resemble butterflies, as they
swing in their long flower stalks.
They can be grown on bark or blocks
in the same manner as the air plant,
but they appear in their greatest
beauty in their wild state on our ma
tive trees a sight once seen never for
gotten"

duces terminal erect flower spikes six
inches long, and at time-midwinter
when they will be most appreciated.
Each flower is an irregular tube, near
ly an inch long and colored dark blue.
If the leaves had no attractions what
ever, the plant would still be well
worth growing for the sake of it's
flowers. 1t is just as easy to grow
as the Coleus, and bedded out thrives

ern California to British Columbia.
1t is especially abundant in the coast
range, where it's slender stems, twin
ing about oaks, reach height OF
twenty to forty feet, with luXuriant
leaves at the top. In the spring and
summer, it's graceful green adds an in
describably delicate touch to the
woodlands, and in autumn the rich
red of it's leaves makes splendid patch
es among the evergreen trees, or lights
like flame the duller shades of de-
ciduous forests. 1t likes damp soils,
and when seen on dry, open ground,
Rhus is but an insignificant shrub,
with scant reddish leaves resembling
in shape those of the white oak. Pois-
on oak resembles the poison ivy, Rhus
ToXicodendron, of the Atlantic states,
and causes a like cutaneous eruption.
Many cases of severe poisoning occur
where there's no exposure to the plant
other than sitting by the open window
of car, or riding in private convex
ance through canons where it riots
gloriously over rotting stump and tree
trunk. And again persons equally
susceptible find their hands and faces
break out with singing pimples just
from the handling of wild flowers
where were picked adjacent to poison
oak; or the poison is transmitted from
clothes worn by picnickers. Fortu,
nately, however these are the excep-
tional instances and ordinarily if one
avoids touching the foliage, the dan
ger is averted. The stockman and
farmer probably suffer the greatest
annoyance from poison oak. The
worst cases come from passing to lee
ward Of fire in which it is burning,
and grubbing it out range or clear
ing off a foothill farm necessitates
this means of Kidding the ground of
brush. The hired man who can ham
die poison oak with impunity has an
added value to the farmer who suffers
from the contact with this vexatious
bush. The antidotes recommended
are many but are well-nigh useless.
A few simple remedies, like the appli
cation of salt, soda and frequent hot
bathing, can usually be relied upon to
modify the itching and swelling of
the parts affected, but the sufferer, if
he be no novice, is perfectly certain
that an affection of poison oak, like
other diseases, must run it's course,
and so waits, with what stoicism he
can command, for the allotted ten to
fourteen days to pass.-American Ag-
viculturist.
