it follows that the power to impose
direct taxes also extends throughout
the United States"
The Times can readily discover
that when the islands have become
a part of the Republic, Congress

The same rate of duties must be laid
at Havana and Manila as at New
York. The situation for England
could be ameliorated by substituting
throughout the United States, taxes

of those now laid by the Dingley
law, not so much for revenue as in

A Canadian farmer writes: 1 have
by repeated trials in various fields
proved it to be an absolute and GER
tain success It is: The field in which
the thistles have become obnoxious
is plowed deep in the fall of the year.
1t is then let stand (keeping all stock
from it) until the following June or
July, when the thistles are in full
bloom or about to bloom. but must
not be let ripen. Then plow all this
ties and weeds deep under with q

to roll down with a land-roller,
though I Hid not take the pains my

land may be narrowed, and then
plowed up again and sowed with
winter wheat, the great body of this

purpose of valuable fertilizer.
The principle involved iu this ef-
