succeeded in reaching safety, when Henry

with the words, ''There is no great dan

on the change which has taken place IN
the management of their own Depa RI
ment of Agriculture since \ year 400
Uncle Jerry Rusk, President Harri-
sons secretary of Agriculture. was n
real friend of the farmer, and instituted
a number of schemes which have work
cd out to their advantage and which
are now recognized as permanent in
situations of the country, but the work
ings OF his department were largely ex-
detrimental, and it remained for his s11c-
cessor to reap the benefit of his work.
But President Cleveland's Secretary of
Agriculture, Mr.. Morton, failed to i'm
prove his opportunities and seems TO
nave been about the last man who
should have occupied this important
position. But Farmer Wilson imme
diately upon his appointment pulled off
his coat and has had it off ever since.
The department has undergone a tran
sltion, and more has been done in the
genuine interest of the farmer of the
United States than was ever dreamed
OF before. The new Secretary has pur-
sued vigorous policy in regard to the
distribution of seeds which will be of
some definite value to the farmer: he
has encouraged in every particular the
beet sugar industry, he has placed the
department at the service of the dairy
interests in bringing their products to
the attention of foreign markets, and
with no little success he is making in

Does Not Please the Germans.
Labor is so low in Germany that nei-
fher the United States nor Great Brit
ain can compete with her in the manu-
1acture Of certain kinds of wooden
goods. Great Britain's policy is to let
Germany capture that market, but our
policy is to compel those who bring
their goods here for market to pay
DUTY which will enable the American
manufactures to pay high wages and
sui compete with the product of Ger
many This policy, which is the pol
ley OF Germany, may not please it's
wooden manufacturers, but it is SO i'm
portant that we should have the home
market for our own manufactures of
WOODEN goods that we cannot afford to
purchase the good will Of the German
producer by sacrificing the labor and
the capital employed in the same in
dustry in the United States. AS a mat
ter OF fact, the ill-natured obserya-
t1ons OF the German press on this sub
Ject are the best evidences that the
Ddngley law is a protective as well as
revenue tariff.-Indianapo Journal.
