OF Ohioans raise blooded rams. which
they sell to the ranchmen to improve
the breed of their sheep and better the
quality Of their wool. This is prosaic,
useful business, but the country would
not be ruined if it were stopped. 1t is

A WASHINGTON NEWSPAPER says the
only argument it ever heard against
MIR. Davis is that he refused to SUBJ
scribe to the Chicago platform and took
the stump to exploit that fact, and that
to defeat him for such cause would be
the ''pettiest kind ofpolitics." 1t con-
cedes, however, that the democrats of
the District are opposed to Mr.. Davis.
Well, as Mr.. Cleveland, four years ago,
when he was the democratic Presi-
Dental nominee, advised all democrats
to subscribe to the Chicago platform OF
that year, and as Mr.. Davis refused to
subscribe to the Chicago platform OF
last year, why he should be confirmed
by democratic votes is not apparent !;
and, besides, as the democratic party
processes to be in favor of home rule,
and as the paper referred to say says tie
democrats ii iihe District of Columbia
are not in favor of Mr. Davis, and IS
the President has removed good demo-
Gratis from office because they did sub
scribe to the Chicago platform, and did
work fer the success of the democratic
party, where the petty politics of de-
feating Mr.. Davis comes in, it is just as
difficult to discern.

THE LIBERAL government OF Canada,
DESTROYS ofincreasing trade between that
country and the United States, has sent
agents to Washington for the purpose
of representing the great advantage
both would receive if some of the re-
strictions imposed by the present tariff,
and which, it is said, will be increased
by the proposed one, were removed.
Canada already buys from this country
more than all Central and South Amer
lea combined, and would buy great
deal more if it could make it's pay
ments with Canadian products, instead
of with gold; but, instead of a reciprocity
tariff, the new tariff bill raises the taxes
on imports from Canada higher than
they are, and, therefore, puts more re-
strictions on the trade between the two
adjoining countries. The Virginia
farmers will be among the sufferers, as
though never before has the plaster
which they use as fertilizer been tax
ed, the new tariff bill referred proposes
to tax it to the extent of dollar and a
half a ton, when dumped on the
wharves of this city from Windsor.
