Fruit Trees and Poultry Mix Wen.

The orchard is never injured by fowls
but. on the contrary. there is excellent
work done by poultry in destroying in
sects. Every one who has an orchard and
does not keep a flock Is losing profit that
is more easily secured than in any other
manner with poultry, as there is no ad-
ditional interest on land to add to the
cost. The free range of the orchard, with
the trees for shade, will assist in greater
egg production, and when the hens have
broods of chicks there is no better location
than to make each hen comfortable in a
little run under a tree where the chicks
can be permitted to have their freedom
It Is not well to have the grass too high
in an orchard If fowls are to use the
ground. A well kept orchard is the one
to use, and a combination of poultry and
fruit gives the farmer a profit from the
fowls while waiting for his young trees
to come into bearing.

PettigreM's Amendment

Senator Pottigrew has introduced al
amendment TO the Dingley bill which
provides for the admission free Of duty
Of articles controlled by trusts. Should
it become law and be carried out hon
estlv. how much revenue would the bill
yield: There are trusts in sugar, coal.
window and plate glass, lumber, pot
terry, wall paper, rubber. cutlery and in
near Y all kinds CT hardware There is
no trust III tea. but that is probably be-
cause there has been no duty to eucour-
age it There are also trusts in the
wooden and cotton industries. Revenue
will be scarce if such law should be
enforced. But will these elected bv
trust funds destroy the system which
fosters trusts: They may pass some such
law. as they did the sherman antitrust
law in 1890, tut it will be only ano,n,

HEAVY Duties On Linens,

The following arc some of the com
mcnts of IL man well acquainted with
linens and the linen industry upon the
senate doctorcd Dingley bill
The proposed duties on linen goods
under the amended Dinlgey bill are
heavier than ever. although it has been
claimed that the senate had reduced
rates These goods paid for many years
35 per cent and yielded steady reve-
nue. to tho government The rates now
proposed vary from 30 to 100 per cent,
and the burden falls heaviest on low
and medium goods, which are chiefly
used in tho homes Of the poorer people.
A cheap tablecloth now selling at re-
tail ut 20 cents per yard will have to be
sold at 37Lk cents to 40 cents if the
quality be kept up.
Medium linen for children s summer
blOuses will be assessed 9912 per cent,
and the retail price will have to go up
accordingly.
Linen forms the raw material for
many American industries. as Innings
for clothing and other purposes where
strength and durability are required.
Such goods will be advanced 20 to 80
per cent.
1t is claimed that this advance is nee
essary for revenue, but the effect will be
that the people will in many cases substi-
tute something cheaper, and thus be de
prived Of this useful fabric. and the reve-
nue. will be correspondingly diminished
1t is said that linen goods can be made
here, but this has been tried again and
again. and except i'll tho case of "a few
low crashes has been Il failure. owing to
tho climate and other difficulties, but
even if they could be made here the
rates are unnecessarily oppressive. The
entire cost Of weaving linen goods in
Europe is about ~ to 10 per cent the
selling price of the article here. and i'll
America the cost should not be at the
very outside more than double this per
centage. 80 that. oven if Republican
theories BIO true, a protection Of 35 per
cent should be ample to allow for high
err wages and extra profits for our man
ufacturers.
1t is possible spectators may start
mills on the strength Of these excessive
rates. sell the stock, and then step out,
leaving the unfortunate labOrer and
manufacturer to face tho difficulties of
the situation as best they can. The la
borcr probably, having been brought
here from Europe (for labor is ON the
free hst), with unreasonable expecta-
tions, will be left to join the army Of
disappointment and discomfort. Why
should these cxorbitantly high rates DO
assessed on an article more or less in
use In every household i'll the land. and
the cost of living So much increased in
these days Of keen competition and
small profits2 Why should the plain peo-
pie be taxed to put more money i'll the
pockets of the rich? II the wealthy
manufacturers want to make expert
ments. let them do so ut their own cost,
not tax tho poor for that purpose.
