THE STATE OF INDIA.

There is trouble in India. Of that
there is no longer any doubt. There
have been riOtings and murders, and
there is a wide circulation of incendiary
tracts calling for ''holy war" against
British rule. The disaffection is active
chiefly among the Mahom etans, and is
said, without apparent authority, to
have been instigated from, CONSTANT
nople; but it is also said to exist pas
sively among the Hindoos. Anxiety
prevails among the well informed,
while the timOrous are whispering
vague fears of another Mutiny. The
enemies of Britain and of law and order
are exultant, and one Socialist publi-
cation goes so far as to exploit the
number of those who are dying of
plague and famine in India at the time
of the Queen Jubilee, viciOusly insin-
uating that their suffering and death
are chargeable against the British
Government, if not against the Queen
in person. The facts are, of course,
that plague and famine are in spite OF,
not because of, British rule; that the
present visitations are vastly less ter
rible than those of old, because of the
beneficence of British rule, and that
the British Government has wrought
little short of miracles iu quelling the
plague and in relieving and rewarding
against recurrence of the famine.
These are the established facts,
which only ignorance Overlooks and
mendacity cOntradicts.
History will record the regeneration
of India among the real and lasting
glories of the Victorian reig and among
the great services to humanity rendered
by British rule. Before the British oc-
cupation Hindostan was divided among
rival and iarring principalities, and was
the scene of all but incessant wars
faminies and pestilences. Every evi
of anarchy, ignorance and vice ran
riot. A more appalling realization o
death in life has probably never heen
seen. The people lived, but only to
suffer all the pangs and horror and de-
cav of death without its merciful obliv
ion. The early years of British rul'
were unquestionably harsh. Hastings
and Give were little better than mos

More Trouble in the World -Tin,PIate.

A most deplorable-if true state
ment appears in a recent report of the
British Consul at Philadelphia on the
subject of tinplate. In the State of
Pennsylvania, he says, the manufact-
ure of tinplate has become leading
industry. Before the Mckinley tariff
there were in the whole country only
some half dozen small and languishing
concerns engaged in that industry.
Now there are 175 blackplate mills.
OF these sixty-four are in Pennsylvania
and with two exceptions are all no more
than five years old. improved machin-
cry is used in them. and general adj
vance has been made in the processes
of manufacture. ''It is now believed"
saws the consul, ''that with proper
fostering the ''time is not far dis
tant when the United States twill pro-
duce all the tinplate required for her
consumption. Pennsylvania alone
is prepared to turn out this year no
less than $50, 900 pounds. And at
the same time more than half the mills
in South Wales are closed.
Nor is that all. Here is San Fran
cisco, correspondent of "The Iron Age"
writing about the fruit and salmon can
ming trade of the Pacific Coast. The
market for such goods in Great Brit
ian and Australasia is extending day
by day. OF course the trade ought to
be handicapped indeed, utterly ruin
ed-by the tariff ON tin. But it isn't.
The supply of America tinplate is in
creasing, and the price of it is decreas-
ing. The American industry is rapi-
dly becoming large enough to supply
the demand, 'while as to price, tin
plate was never as cheap on the coast
before as it is now" Just think of it
A tariff on an article that is exported
must destroy the export trade! Any
Free Trader can prove that beyond
a doubt. Yet with tariff on tinplat,
for five years past the export in canned
goods put up in American tin cans has
not been destroyed. 1t is, on the con
trary, steadily increasing. The tarii
is tax which adds just so much to tn
cost of the article to the consumer. Tha
is the fundamental axiom of Cob
denism. Yet, with heavy tariff on i
tinplate is cheaper than ever before
If ANYBODY wants a tangible, con
crete example of ''pure cussedness,
there it is. With such conditions con
fronting him, is it any wonder that th'
average man loses all faith in human
nature, and finds his confidence in tn
: eternal verities going straight to th
demnition bow-wows?

WHAT TO DO

There is comfort in the knowledge SO
often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfils every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
cOrrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it or bad eff
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and Overcomes that Unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urinate.
The mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp-ROot is soon realized. It
stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price so
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
free by mail. Mention the SMYRNA

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty
hours; sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fire.

is the cause of the present distress.

PAsTURING MEADOWS.

From our OW 1 experience we are
convinced that many meadows are
ruined either by pasturing too close
after harvest, during the hot, dry
weather we so usually have in Au-
g 1st, or by pasturing too late and
too close in the fall. We pasture
our clover and other meadows more
or less each season, but we let the
season and their condition deter
mine how much. When the con-
ditions are favorable a considerable
amount of good pasturage can ke Sc
cured from the Sass or clover and
they be benefited rather than in
iured, while at other times pastur-
age would have killed out a good
pcr cont. of the plants.
Generally we find it a good plan to
keep stock out until the grass or
clover makes a good start to grow,
and then allow the stock to pasture
dovh, taking care always not to al
low the stock to crop down too close
and always keep out the stock so as
to allow a good grow III in tho field
that viii protect the plants during
the winter.
We had nice piece of clover that
we received good crops from annu-
ally for seven years, and we ascribe
it to the fact that we allowed it to
get good start to grow before
turning in the stock, and never al
lowed it to be palturod dow close.
Oar clover was exceptionally good
this year, while good per cent. of
our neighbors are complaining be-
cause it winter killed so badly. The
only reason we IN see is hat we
pistured moderately last fall and
left fairly good growth to act as
a mulch to protect the plants.
Some of our facmers turn their
stock in the meadows and clover
fields as soon as the crop is har-
vested, and give them a free range
until severe cold weather in the fall,
and it is too often the case that the
close pasturage in the summer, as in
the fall, kills out the plants. It is
economy not to allow any kind of
feed TO go TO waste, at the same
time it is rather poor economy to
kill out good stand of grass or
clover simply to secure a small
amount of pasturage.-O Farmer.
