Easily Settled.

ASnotAy eCssAC0.
The century was closing fast
When through this great, broad land
there passed
A man who bore along the line
A great big lettered canvas sign
Men Wanted"
He passed vacant soup house door
And still the sign he proudly bore.
And as he marched he did stampede
Most every hobo who could read:
MEN Wanted"
The farmers stacking up their shocks,
The shipping men out ON the docks,
The railroads all, the factories,
All echoedsit upon the breeze:
Men Wanted"
An orator from out the Platte
Was babbling through his tattered hat,
When swift the big sign passed him by
And loud rang out that same old cry:
Men Wanted"
WHO sends this messenger about
Re-echoing that horrid shout?"
The orator indignant cried.
The messenger but this replied:
Men Wanted"
who's made place for all these menu p
The speaker asked and looked again.
Mckinley, sir" the man replied.
"All DER the nation have cried:
MEN Wanted"
Then said the speaker from the Platte:
"I'll tell you how to settle that,
Elect me President, and then
I'll guarantee more idle men
Than wanted"

prophet would have found no believers.
A century ago the supporters Of the
policy Of free trade. the very few per-

were content to have the United States
continue indefinitely to be IN agricul-
tural nation. Fifty years ago the sup
porters Of the Walker tariff were con-
tent to have the United States stand
still SO far as manufacturing was con-
cerned, and to remain a practically nom
manufacturing nation. They were be-
ginning to argue along the line so much

that Of buying where you can buy
the cheapest" Had their policy trii
umphed, we would still be industrially
dependent on England. 1t is to the
policy Of protective tariff that we
owe 1t that other nations are depen-
dent on us industrially,, and that We
are dependent on no one but our
selves.

Building vniI Fence.

Load your wagon with rails and drive
where you want to build Your fence and
pull the rails Off the hind end Of the
wagon, and lay your first rails between
the tracks that your wagon makes. This
gives you enough worm to your fence,
and Is better than sighting on stakes,
as some do.

Not 70 Re TrustefI

To the charge that the tariff has been
the mother of trusts" the response Is
that it has been the savior Of our indus
tries, the herald Of advancing wages,
the progenitor of good prices, the good
genius before whose magic wand de-
preston and dbstrust have flown to the
limbo of the damned, giving place to
the Frightening presence of confidence
and enterprise. Satan isn't going to
cast out Satan, in either church or
State; and Democratic harlequins, mar
shaled by Havemeyers, are not going

killing Lice on Hogs.

To get rid of lice on swine the first
thing to do Is to clean the nest and
burn it, says the National StOckman.
Then mix together by agltating a pint
Of kerosene, a half pint Of soft soap
and two gallons Of warm soft water,
and with an old scrub broom or a spray
pump thoroughly clean the place where
the nest was and the sides, or use a
whitewash made from fresh slaked
lime. Now we will go for the lice on
the swine. The best of all preparations
for this Is some Of the carbolic sheep
dips. The next is to use a kerosene
emulsion, and apply with broom or
brush to all parts of the body.

Some city people buy apples to be
made into cider for their own use from
time to time, while the apples can be
KEEP. In condition. But the farmer can
do this much better than the city man.
To the latter the apple pomace left
after the bagasse has been pressed Is
worthless refuse. The farmer can pour
water over the pressed bagasse, and
after leaving 1t few hours can press
from 1t liquid that will be better vim
egar than he can buy. He can also
mix grain meal with the bagasse after
ITS last pressing, and thus make excel
lent addition to the feed Of wlnter-kept
hogs, of growing cattle not giving
milk, and even Of horses. All are fond
of 1t when 1t is mixed with grain meal,
IL too much Is not given. Thus the
apple pomace. that where cider Is
made In large quantities is wasted,
will all be utilized. A onehorse steam
power will do the work, and can also
be used in doing many more things on
the farm that are performed laborious-
ly by hand labor or are left undone
because they involve too much work.

The Greater Evil.


BY removing the high tariff" says
the New York Journal, "the power
Of the trusts would be greatly curtailed
and competition could no longer be re-
stricted. Neither the producer nor the
consumer would be forced to contribute
to capital unjustly." No doubt, SO far
as Americans are concerned, for the
contributions would go to foreign cap
ital, which is employing pauper labor.
Even with the evils made by the
trusts, they are thousand times less
than the results of free trade. A COM
parison Of present conditions, with a
large number Of trusts In operation,
with the terrible effects Of free trade
on the people of this country, will
speedily convince any reasonable man
that we much prefer the trusts than
to restricting or even abolishing them
by any such remedy, which would be
as fatal to our national prosperity as It
would be to the trusts.-Tacoma

Experience has taught us that do
nestle competition is more efficacious
in bringing down and maintaining rea-
sonably low prices than the competi-
ton Of the foreigner. So long as we
were dependent upon the British for
our supplies Of rails and other manu-
features Of iron and steel we were COM
PEELED to pay dearly for them. The
records show that during this period Of
dependence whenever railroad build
ing was pushed with energy in the
United States the price Of rails In
England was put up, and when con-
struction languished there was fall.
1t was not until we were able to manu-
facture rails in sufficient quantities to
meet the home demand that we were
emancipated from the extortion which
was invariably practced when the
exigencies Of rapid development
obliged us to go abroad for supplies
