CHINESE PREVENTIVE or RABIES

Eating the Liver OF the Dog Recon-
mendcd as q Cure for the Bite!
A French missionary In China wit
messed recently how two Of his carriers
were bitten by rabid dog and was very
much worried about it, says Modern
Medicine. Several Chinese who hap
pened to be there told him thnt his
worry was absolutely uncalled for; since
they had an undoubtedly safe preven-
tive against the poison OF q rabid dog
taking effect, andsto prove the assertion
five Cinnamon who had been bitten in
March of last year by mad dog were
presented to the missionary. He found
that Cinnamon eat Of the raw liver Of
mad dog after being bitten, and II
they partake Of this within q given time
after the accident, It is s6id they will not
be subject to hydrophobia. Tits curious
that Plinius in his natural history rec
omlnends eating the liver OF d mad dog,
il bitten, as raw as possible, and they
who could not swallow the liver raw
should have 1t cooked and drink the

MOI YET a LAW.
The DinsIey BIII Not Responsible for
Hard Times.

No tariff, however wisely planned, can
be expected to regenerate business be-
fore it is put in force.
In many quarters there Is tendency
TO blame the Dingley bill, and, Incl
dentally, the whole republican party be-
cause the good times and abundant cash
of 1892 have not come in with McKin-
ley's Inauguration.
The best pillow turns no furrow till
IL is taken to the field. The new tariff
cannot accomplish much until il gets
TO work. AS il still has the senate TO
face, IL does not even know what it's
pattern and capabilities may be after
passing through that ordeal.
If the Dlngley bill, after six months
OF trial, cannot show substantial re-
suits in way Of revived business activity
and confidence, then it may fairly be
blamed for disappointing the hopes Of
the nation.
The mere expectation OF n stiff pro-
tective tariff has already had strength
ening effect upon business. On every
side, under the influence Of new hopes,
trade and Industries are slowly but
surely advancing. Many mills and fac
tories, closed under an administration
of theorists, have resumed work. Thou
sands of operatives, long idle, are back
nt their FORCES and their looms.
But anticipation of demand, though
IL may stir the wholesale trade. has lit
tie effect upon the retailers. These de-
pend upon the free cash in the pockets
Of the people. And no very large In
crease in this direction can reasonably
he expected until the new tariff gets
down to its daily work.-Illustrated

amount of money realized for each fam
fly was simply surprising, even TO the
friends OF the bill. We want to restore
the Mckinley rate, and more, so that

The FARMER.s RIGHTS.
Producers should Have Ample Pro-
lection.


Senator Warren, of Wyoming, voiced
n common sentiment In the west when
he said that the tariff bill must recog-
nize agricultural, mining and lumber
interests, as well as those of eastern
manufacturers. He had observed a ten
dency, in respect Of wool, coal, sugar
and other natural products, to yield
every point to the middleman, sub
tracing from the duties proposed by
the producer at his demand for cheaper
raw material. This policy would, he
said be fatal IL adopted. 1t certainly
ought to be.
As the chief sufferers from the Cor
man-Wilson tariff, the farmers were the
stanchest advocates in the late cam
paign of republican success. They car
ried New York, Indiana, Kentucky,
Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota and
Oregon and all but few OF the remain
ing Mckinley states. They did 50 for
their own relief under the pledge of the
st. Louis platform 30 make the new
tariff equitable as between the producer
and manufactures. To break faith with
them now would be 10 do violence 20
principle and policy alike, and the net
political result would be damaging TO
every great interest in the country. No
tariff bill, as Senator Warren sAys,
could pass, and the defeat OF the meas
ure, as we may add, would, under the
circumstances, lead 10 n profound re-
action against the republican party.
Wool must be protected as well as ID
was in the Mckinley bill. The farm
products in which there is Canadian
competition should have ample safe
guards. including. of course, the staple
product OF lumber. California, which
went republican on the tariff issue.
would be difficult 10 hold within party
limits IL the rate on wines, raisins, nuts,
sugar and citrus fruits should bc cut
10 suit the foreign market. We are well
aware that Germany demands free or
next 10 free entrance FOR her sugar, but
IL she gets IL what will become Of our
own beet sugar industry thing OF far
more importance 20 this country than
our German export trade? The beet and
cane growers demand either protcc-
ton or bounty for sugar. Is relief TO be
denied them because OF the interests
OF Germany I'm the welfare OF sugar
industry OF her own, which she protects
az the rate OF 80 TO AIS cents per pound?
Senator Warren Is right. The farmer
must have his fair share of protection.

Appleton City, Mo.-To the Commit

Representatives, Washington, ID. c.:
Gentlemen-In 1896 the republicans
Of the western part of the United States
proclaimed from the stump and
through the party press that il Mckin-
ley was chosen and our party was re-
stored To power in both branches of
congress, a tariff bill, reasonable and
fair, would be passed, which would pro-
duce sufficient revenue 80 carry on the
government and afford ample protec-
ton 10 every industry and stimulate
them TO do business and put new life
in each enterprise, and thereby benefit
the whole country.
The republicans are noted for keep
ing their promises and democracy for
ignoring their pledges
In the first place, the farmers OF this
country demand as a matter of equal
and exact Justice TO all classes and in
terests that asduty OF not less than six
cents 20 be placed on each dozen OF eggs
imported into this country. From 1891
to 1898 the egg industry became as
valuable as the raising OF hogs in the
wost. In every city and town the bene-
fit of the Mckinley tariff ON eggs was
apparent during those years. The
farmers built valuable hen houses, so
