The Frec.Tradc Idea.

The Democracy is SO devoted to free
trade that the small temporary duty
imposed on imports from Porto Rico is
denounced as a national disgrace. Were
that party to gain control of the Gov
eminent, it would attempt to establish
free trade between the United States
and Europe, so that everything we
bought with the cheap money it prom
Uses Us would "be made in Germany,
England or any other old place" rather
than in the United States.

A BUSINESS LESSON.
Seven Million. More Trade Now Daily
than Under Cleveland.

Seven Millions More Trade Now Daily
than Under Cleveland.
Bank clearings afford the best guide
to the volume of business that is trans
acted throughout the country. The fol-
lowing figures are from Bradstreet's,
000,O0O's omitted:
1881 1881. .sd 1ap5; i 1884,. .sa A@csi f iss1: 81 A rs;

1S06.. 50,432
AYR. .ssoe,Sss s5o,s44 s73,oag
These figures represent hundreds of
millions of dollars. Under. the McINln-
ley tariff. in President Harlison's adj
ministration, the average volume of
business transacted in the United
States was almost sixty billions of dol
lars Il year.
During President Clevcland's admin
~istration it averaged nine billions Il
year less. In other words. there was
three million dollars less business
transacted every business day of the
year.
Under the Dingley tariff and the adj
ministration of President Mckinley
the average volume of business was
twenty-three billions a year more than
in the preceding Democratic admins
tration of President Cleveland.
In other words. there has been over
seven million dollars worth more bust
ness transacted every day during Pres
ident McKinley's term than there was
under President Cleveland.
Moral: Vote for n continuation of the
Republican administration with 81 pro-
tective tariff.

Harvesting a Horse.

It is strange, but nevertheless true,
says a writer in Our Animal Friends
that almost everyone who has had any
experience, however slight. in harness
ing horse, believes that he understands
thoroughly how to do it. A very simple
rule for fitting the bride is that the bit
should touch the corners Of the horse
lips without dragging upon them, but
too frequently this is disregarded and
the horse suffers deal Of misery from
that error alone.
Again, and sometimes in conjunctio
with the mistake we have just mention
ed, the brow band is 30 short that il
draws the metal rings Of the rosettes
against the roots Of the horses ears,
where their pressure causes acute pain
All metal ornaments Of any weight q
the top Of the crown piece, behind anC
between the ears, should be removed
because of their pressure upon the bas,
Of the brain.
If binders are used care should b.
taken that they stand we'll out from tn,
horses eye, otherwise, by pressing upon
the eyeballs, they cause intense pail
and also obscure the range Of vision
10 all cases. unless the horse is SO &C
customed 10 binders that it is absolutel
unsafe to drive him without, they shout
be dispensed with. for they add nothin
to 9 horses appearance and he is niue
more comfortable without them In fact
colts should be trained to drive with q
open bride, and it were we'll il laws wer
enacted 10 that effect.

Profits in Apples.

There is more actual profit in a good
orchard than many farmers may suppose
and an acre Of good apple trees, properly
cultivated and cared for, will, in most
cases, prove more remunerative than
that amount of ground in any other crop.
One thing to-day. however, which keeps
many farmers from planting orchards is
the great bugbear that has been present
ed through several agricultural jour
nals-San Jose scale. Then another
thing: Farmers are led to believe that
if they plant an orchard now it means
constant work and attention in order TO
keep insects and diseases from completely
running it. While we don't seek to make
anyone believe these things harmless.
we do want our readers to know that
many farmers and fruit growers are
making their business pay handsomely
and don't know anything about spra ying
nor the diseases with which trees may
be affected. If trees are planted in good,
rich soil, cultivated every year just the
same as you cultivate your farm crops,
pruned when needed and the soil manur-
ed literally at least once every two years,
the results are likely to be satisfactory
regardless OF insect pests. We believe
in modern appliances and scientific meth.
DDS of preventing and remedying dis.
eases Of trees, but we know Of so many
cases where large returns we're received
from orchards that we're never sprayed,
pruned, or even cultivated properly, that
it is indeed quest on as to whether the
average farmer needs to while away
much time with xperimentation or in
treating diseases Of his trees which
nature herself might cure in time if she
were assisted.
Of course when trees begin dying or
fail to bear at all, then there is some
thing radically wrong, and treatment is
in order, but the advice of not q few
horticulturists has led the farmer to
believe that in order for him to succeed
in growing crop Of fruit he must be
continually working with his trees.
going over the orchard with his eyes
skinned and carefully inspecting every
limb and branch The farmer should
read the horticulturists' advices and
study horticulture. but he should use
his own Judgment more than anybody's
advice, for upon it will eventually depend
the profit or loss of the crop. There is
good money in an orchard when its
product is worth 81 per barrel; and it is
possible, as hundreds of cases prove. to
grow perfect fruit without spraying,
fumigation or pruning, yet all these are
valuable when actually needed, which
is not as often as perhaps some may
think. 1t is always a pretty safe thing
to let good enough alone, provided the
good enough is high grade and profit
able. Farmers Voice.
