Thoughts suggested from words fall
ing from the lips of our Lord Jesus
Christ, on the Friday following Ash
Wednesday.
You have learned said Jesus Christ to
his Apostles, that it was said unto the
Ancients; you will love your neighbor,
and hate your enemy. l say to you;
Love your enemies, do good to them who
hate you. aud pray for those who perse-
cute and calumniate you, so that you
may be the children of your celestial Fa'
ther."
One should apply himself to the i'm
port of these admirable words! 1T Is ],
who tell you. says He. l, for whose love
you should sacrifice your most violent
and Just anger, l, who have practiced It,,
the first towards you. In forgiving Sins,
that l could have punished instantly by
eternal torment" We should join this
example Of Jesus Christ, to the precept
which He imposes on that day, and the
voice Of His sufferings and Of His blood.
to that IT His mouth. since He has par
doned His enemies for their most bloody
outragss. even 10 the moment He was
being crucifed, having said: Father
forgive them:" and to these divine
words, He added the effusiOn Of all His
blood.
Let us all now descend into our in
most sould. Is our heart exempt OF all
resentment Does it not nOurish some
bad feelings towards one or more OF its
fellow creaturesP 1t is disposed to
oblige and help erery one without dis
tinctiOn?
There is much to instruct in these no
ly words, Love your neighbOr etc., etc. /"
and il you do not make the best Of these
teachings, tbs enough to conform you,
and say that, far from aspiring to per-
lection you are not eren a christian.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

Deafness Cannot be Cured
BY local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
aud that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets In
famed you have a rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing. and when it is entire
" closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal con-
dition. hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh. which is notning but an infia'

THE SUGAR DUTY.
Timos-Democrat.

Ttmos-Democrat.
If Congress approves of the SUI
gar tariff, which, it is said, the
ways and means committee have
agreed on, it will prove of great
benefit to the sugar planters, as
we'll as the country at large. 1t
will assure the United States a
suffciency of revenue and do away
with the deficits from which we
have suffered for some time past,
and it assures the two points for
which the sugar growers have
pleaded-an increased duty and a
specific one.
It has been evident ever since
the Wilson bill changed from a
specific to an ad valorem duty that
it was all absurd and unfortunate
mistake. 1t opened the door to
fraud and differentiation; it gave
the trust the very opportunity it
needed to control the sugar mar
ket, and it cut down the revenue
of the government. For the past
three years there have been loud
demands for return to.the old OF
specific duty; and there was prac.
tically a unanimous opinion on
this point. The sugar trust, how
ever, is not deficient in gall" and
did all in its power to prevent g
specific duty, realizing how the
latter would break up the fraudu.
lent differentiation business.
It would seem, however, tha
the trust is not very strong with
the ways and means committee. L
would be mistake, however, t.
underestimate its strength. L
might decide to make the fight il
Congress rather than in commit
tee. 1t will certainly not submit
to the degradation of having su
gar duty passed without being
consulted and having the duty 81
fixed as to add to its millions.
The proposed sugar duty will
range from l cent per pound OF
sugar guaging IS per cent saccha-
riDe, to 1.62 IL on sugar guagin,
SO per cent-a much higher rate
than at present. 1t is estimates
that this will be equivalent to al
ad valorem duty of 10 per cent a
compared with the present duty o
40 per cent, an increase of three
fourths in the protection afforded

CANNING FACTORIES.

Editor Southern Farmer: Il
wrote an article last month on the
canning business, which was large
ly copied throughout the South.
In consequence 1 have received
numbers of inquiries from your
section from persons who wished
to know further regarding this
business. For the benefit of those
interested 1 will enter more fully
into the details of the business. I
have travelled South, and it was
indeed surprising that one sees
large quantities of canned goods
sold in the South, and, with but
few exceptions, they are packed
by Northern packing houses. This
heretofore has been the case, but,
with the go-ahead spirit of the
New South, it demands reform,
and in a few years hence this in
dustry will be found thriving
everywhere in the Southern States,
and the Northern packer will be
forced to seek other markets.
Your Farmers, more especially
your truckers, have been satisfied
with large profits realized by ear
ly shipments, but when the Vir-
ginis and Maryland producer came
in the market it did not further
pay your trouckers to ship, conse-
quently thousands of acres of
prime stock for canning purposes
has been allowed to waste for want
of some means IF utilizing it; the
same can be said of your fruits.
The South raises large quanti-
ties of fruits, which but little is
realized on, and the bulk of the
crop is allowed to decay for want
of canning facilities. These fruits
and vegetables you have allowed
to waste could be put up in your
market and handsome profits req
lized; but, instead, the South de-
ponds on the North to supply her
with the very article she has
thrown away. In Maryland and
elsewhere farmers do not enjoy
the advantages realized by the
Southern trucker. The Southern
farmer has been we'll paid and his
profits have been large for the
produce; he has shipped to early
markets; consequently, when the
product from Maryland comes in
the prices are down and we err
