The esteemed enemy declared that a
tariff for revenue would increase our
foreign commerce and tariff for pro-
lection decrease it. Experience has
proved that the tariff for revenue de-
creased our foreign commerce and a tariff
for protection increased it. Would any
free trade organ like to combat that
statement with figures?

The statement of a contemporary that

The democratic organs are now making
savage attack on ''imperialism." Yet
there is no imperialism in this country
and there are no imperialists. Certainly
President Mckinley is not an imperial
ist. and never uttered a sentence which
proves him to have any sympathy with
imperialism. The Anaconda Standard,
which calls him an imperiaist one day,
the next belabors him because he has no
policy and no views, only to damn him
the third day for being an expansionist.
The Standard must make Mr.. McKin-
leys life a burden.

In country newspaper office, editor to
sub-editor: Have you yet written the
daily column about General Otis being an
incompetent, timid and lazy old church
deacon, afraid of the sound of gum"
Sub-edtor: Eyes, but there's a dis
patch on the front page saying that he
sent out Macarthur yesterday and killed
thirty Filipinos in a skrmish."
Editor: "Wel, lay your article aside
till next week, write one calling General
Otis a blood-thirsty monster, more
heartless than ever General Weyler was
in Cuba and stating that he cares moth
ing for the lives of his own men so long
as he can spill blood.

We're only two wounded"
Editor: well, just add that Otis is
making a farce of this war, that he is
a sleepy old jack-ass and he holds back
our boys when they want to go ahead
and be killed, also that he is a disgrace to
the republican party"

pose you know that General Otis is a

The thoughtful American must have
observed that while the republican party
appeals for public support on the
strength of its principles, and is willing
to discuss them, the democratic party
depends chiefly upon the personal de-
traction of Otis, Hanna and Alger, and
never mentions such a thing as prin-
ciple or suggests discussion. That is
a matter worth thinking about
Daily inter mountain., 1899-10-23

This is one of the occasions when the
liars and the lambs lie down together
when the white doves of peace flap their
wings in unison, and when all feuds and
factions should be suppressed. No DEM

yawp in favor of giving up American
authority in American territory without
the order from congress, which has sole
power in the matter

Said the Anaconda Standard a few
days ago:
The government should not neglect to
send Otis large reinforcements of blue
pencils. A shortage of this munition of
war would seriously interfere with the
geherafs peculiar plan of campaign.
AS an argument against American
trade expansion the above paragraph
may be logical enough. but it is based on
mlsinformation. At the personal request
OF General Otis nearly seven weeks ago
the press censorship at Manila was aban-
doned and dispatches from that port are
now limited only by the financial capa-
city of those who wish to send the news.

There have been no divisions among

Lettuce Growing.

"A DeLand correspondent of the
Times Union and Citizen says:
After several experiments and fail
ures | hit upon the following, viz:
take a box about eight inches deep, in
size according to the quantity of seed
to be sOWn. Put a leg to each corner
of the box. Bore holes in the box for
drainage. Put few pieces of broken
crOckery over the holes. Clear the
ground where you place the box of all
weeds and grass, being careful not to
let sprig or twig or anything touch
the box. Take four empty quart to-
matO cans, placing one at each corner.
Fill the cans with water, and set the
legs in the cans. Put five or six inches
of good rich earth in the box. Be sure
there are no ants in the earth. MOiSten
thoroughly. Sow the seed thinly and
rake lightly with a little stick OF with
the hand. The box should be placed
so as to avoid the direct rays OF the
sun, and be watered every day.
An excellent fertilizer for lettuce is
made as follows: Take tWO-thirds OF
a bucket of cow manure, dissolved in
a barrel of water; apply every day. Ii
the seed is good, almost every one will
germinate, and the plants will be Wig
orOus.
