Jones of Nevada.

The st. Louis Republic seems to
be somewhat irritated at the attitude
of Senator Jones, Of Nevada, in
regard to the tariff bill, and COM
plains of it with more feeling than
Justice. 1t says that Senator Jones
"was, in a measure, the arbiter of
the fate of the bill. He could hold
it up and thus throw the republi-
cans into a most unpleasant posi-
tion."
The Republican forgets, or ig-
nores, two or three very import
ant facts, says the Atlanta Consti-
tuition. The first is that Senator
Jones is not democrat. lie acted
with the democrats in the last cam
Daign, not as a democrat, but as n
silver republican.
The second fact is that Senator
Jones is in favor Of high tariff,
and he has simply seized u very
favorable opportunity to impress
upon the republicans that western
interests are just as important to
western men as eastern interests
are to the men Of the east
The third fact, and altogether
tho most important, Is that tho ac'
zion Of Senator Jones has thrown
the republicans into a position
which, however they may now re-
gard Il, ~ likely TO prove TO be the
most unpleasant and embarrassing
IN their history.
This ~. Louis Republic complains
thai alhe arst opportunity Senator
Isuss bad "a weld power Which
Marble Hill press. (Marbel [sic] Hill, Mo.) 1881-1923, 1897-05-27

might have been used to the advan-
tage of the democrats, he deserted
his allies" Now, that remains to
be seen, and we are firmly convinc-
ed that our st. Louis contemporary
will discover before many months
have elapsed that Senator Jones
has welded the power he had di-
rectly to the advantage Of the dem
ocrats, and in a way that no demo-
crat would have done, even if he
had the opportunity.
But suppose that Senator Jones
Of Nevada had acted as the Re
public desired him to act; suppose
he had held up the tariff bill-what
wonld have been the result? Why
there would have come great out
cry from the republican leaders,
big and little, to the effect that the
republicans had faithfully cndeavor-
ed to carry out their pledge to re-
store prosperity by means Of a
tariff bill, but that combination
of silver men and democrats pre-
vented them.
The republicans would ask moth
ing better than to have their tariff
bill held up. 1t would lift them
out of the most embarrassing posi-
ton they have ever occupied before
the people. If they could find the
slightest excuse for dropping their
tariff measure they would seize it
as Il drowning man grasps straw.
1t is singular that .the st. Louis
Republic should not realize the stu
alton as it exists. 1t seems 40 us
that no largo amount Of intelli8ence
is necessary to CONVINCE a democrat
that his party has everything to
gain by the adoption Of the tariff
bill and nothing to lose. 1t will be
the most tremendous object lesson
and argument in behalf Of genuine
tariff reform that could possibly be
devised.
The Nevada senator is one of the
ablest men in this country. He is
in favor Of protective tariff, and
therefore he could consistently add
emphasis to the futility ofthe tariff
measure by this amendments. We
have no sort Of doubt that he knew
precisely the effect the bill will have
on the public mind when once it is
put IN operation. But whether he
intended it or not, he did Il good
days work for the democratic party,
for tariff reform, and for the people
at large, when he voted to report
the monstrosity
He knows perfectly well, and has
shown by unanswerablo arguments
that tarill measure cannot, in the
nature Of things, restore prosperity
that has been destroyed by cutting
in half the purchasing power of The
producers Of the country. liz
knows, moreover, that the failure
Of this tariff bill to restore prosper
ity will result In the most over
whclming victory for the demo
Gratis that the country has ever wit
messed.
Knowing those things, The No
vada senator has made no mistake

Kinloyites promised us is affecting
the workmen of our town, who de
pended on their labor for strawber'
ries and cream for themselves and
their wives and little ones. There
is a layoff all along the line, instead
Of steady work, and it is working
a great hardship. ] wonder if these
men will be crazy enough to again
vote for the gold standard? Or can
they live without work?

LIVE STOCK POINTERS.

If the sheep on the farm must be sold,
sell them fat.
Do not make the Stops from The
kitchen answer for water.
There is always more or less loss
when an inferior sire is used.
1t will help maintain health if the
hogs have pure, fresh water every day.
The putting in and culture of the
crops has much to do with their pro-
d~uctivcneSs.
The farmer ought to be a good judge
of live stock and know how to buy and
sell to the best advantage.
When the sheep are sheared is one
of the best times TO determine what
sheep should be kept and what sold.
1t is the steady, quiet horse that can
usually be depended upon 20 do the
biggest days work during hot weather.
With all classes of stock it is better
to wait until the grass in the pastures
has made a good growth before turn
ing in.
In the end nothing pays so well a.
thoroughness in all of the details of
farm management and in the care Of
the stock.

1t has done faithful service annually
for myself and neighbors ever since,
but now l find it worn and disjointed
almost beyond repair. In planning to
make another, because of its admirable
adaptation to its special use, the great
satisfaction it gives to those who use
it. and the ease with which any farmer
handy with tools can make it, l an;
prompted to send a description and
drawing for the benefit of other read
erS.
The runners are preferably made Of
outside ones 2h feet long on top and
the two middle ones 4 feet long. For
my use they are fixed 3H feet apart.
The TRANSVERSE strips which secure
them may be of ~ by Pinch stuff, eX-
cepting front piece in center to which
tongue is attached, which should be
2 by 4 for greater strength. The cross
strips connecting the two longer rum
ners should be two feet apart, to which
the tongue should be attached in the
center with Cne-half-inch bolts, and
forward of the front strip IS inches
should be bored a hole for attaching
doubletree and one Q feet forward OF
that for the neck-yoke spud. A deep
slo should be cut in real end of tongue
where attached and a shallow one in
front, SO as to raise front end the right
height for neck-yoke on team, so that
the runners may stand level, thereby
preventing unnatural wear on real end
of runner by being tilted up in front.
The boards marked S are l by 6 and
firmly nailed in place as shown, giving
great strength to implement.
The outer runners or wings are bolt
ed near the central ones with one-half-
inch bolts, 50 as to move up and down
freely. After cutting shallow slots near
the ends of the transverse connections,
fit them in deeper slots cut in inner
as seen at NJ, then nail the lath firmly
across them.
Modus Operandi.-Run the rows by
