ELECTIC ROADS AND TRADE.
Mr.. l.. Marmon of Urbana, Ohio,
writes to Editor Marmon of the
MitchelIvlle Index as follows: l see
by the Index that your people are
agitatipg the question of an electric
railroad. Get 1t by all means. Before
the advent of the electric road into
Urbana many were the prophesies
that the trade of Urbana would be
ruined-that everybody would go to
Springfield and Dayton to trade. But
experience has proven this not true.
OF course a great many go the larger
places to trade, but that has always
been the case, and always will be,
as some people are ever ready to go
back on their own town when they
have the cash to spend. When they
want credit they trade at home, of
course. But experience has proven
tt at the business of Urbana has not
suffered by the operation of the
electric road. The business of Urbana
was never larger than it has been this
year. There have been more people
visit this place this summer and fall
from Springfield and Dayton, 1
venture to say, than has visited here
in ten years. They come by carload
for pleasure as we'll as for business,
and most of them leave some money
in Urbana through the purchase of
something though it be no more than
a cigar or something to eat. 1t gives
life to the town, and we are reaching
out for more of them" That is a
pretty good endorsement from man
who speaks from experience.

TO MAKE HENS LAY,

j. Q McNaughton, writing to the
Chicago Chronicle, volunteers the
following information that will be of
interest to all who raise chickens:
1.-TWO years ago in a lecture before
the chemistry class at the medical
university where was a student the
professor, while analyzing an egg
stated that the reason hens do not lay
as many eggs in winter as in summer
was that in winter they could not get
the necessary food to produce the
yolk of eggs, and If farmers would
feed their fowls powdered red al
bumen in the winter they could have
as many eggs as in the summer. l
was interested in the subject, as my
father and brothers are farmers, 80
after the lecture l asked the profess
sor what quantities and how you
should feed. He said to take pound
Of powder of red albumen and mix it
with one pound Of black or red pep
per, ground fine. Then every morn
ing mix some ground feed, half wheat
bran and half corn meal, and to each
quart of this mixed feed add two tea
spoonfuls of the mixed pepper and
albumen, then add enough hot water
to dampen it, not to make it sticky.
Give a quart of this hot feed to each
twelve hens everymorninga and quart
of whole grain, wheat or corn or both
mixed, for each twelve fowls every
evening, and in two weeks your hens
will begin to lay and will lay all winter
If you feed them this feed. The pro-
fessor said he had kept pen ofgame
fowls for fifteen years and he always
fedthis feed and always had an abund-
ance of eggs. 1 wrote to my father
and brothers, giving them this re-
ceipt, and they and several neighbors
tried it last winter with complete sue
cess. The coldest weather did not
stop their hens laying. You can get
pound of pepper from any grocery
for 80 cents, a pound of red albumen
for 60 cents and pound of each will
feed fifty hens over a month and you
will get 100 dozen eggs that you would
not get without it,and 100 dozen eggs
in winter are worth at least $40, and
$50 for 80 cents worth of feed is sure
ly big profit"

RESULTS or RECIPROCITY.

Gunton's Magazine for December
takes a new view of reciprocity and
presents some facts and figures that
show the danger of tiukering with
tariff reform. Among other things it
says:
I'VE hava had several experiments
with reciprocity treaties, covering
the greater part of the period since
1855, and in a majority of instances
the result has been to increase our
imports to very much Ereater ex-
tent than our exports. Comparing
the exports in the last ear before
the treaty with the latt year under
the treaty, we fad, for instance, that
under our treaty with Germany, 1892
1894, our annual exports to that coun-
try diminish d S438, 1893, whereas,
after the treaty was discontinued,
1895-1S98, our annual exports in.
creased S62, 986 2l9, and under the
treaty OF 1900 to the present time they
have only increased $50, ,OOs, ,248.
Under the treaty with Austria Hung
ary, 1892 1895, our annual exports fell
of 1888, ,574, while during the three
years after the treaty, l8951S98, they
increased SO 572, lao During the three
years preceding our treaty with Can
ada our annual exports to that coun-
try increased 500 ,572 ,442. During the
three years under the treaty our ex-
ports fell off Sis ,497, and our annual
imports from Canada increased S39,-
349, ,187. During the three yea after
the treaty our annual exports to
Canada again increased 81 ,668, ,573.
If we take all the treaties together
that we have made since 1850, and
compare the exports under the
treaties with the exports to the same
countries for the same period before
the treaties, we find that instead of
the exports being increased by the
treaties they were less under the
treaties than before the treaties were
made. The increase under the treaties
was $50, 1928, ,553, whereas the increase
OF exports to the same countries dur
ing an equal period just before the
treaties was Sl56,771 ,642 In other
words, our exports increased nearly
twice as fast before we had the
treaties as they did under the treaties.
And this takes no account of the
normal increase of trade, which
should have shown a greater export
trade during the treaty period than
years preceding.
1t is quite clear from our recipro-
city experience industrial
progress of this country is not due to
the reciprocity bargains we have
made extending the free list to other
countries, but to the preservation of
our home market for our domestic
industries. And we shall do we'll to
ponder carefully and move slowly to-
wards any proposition to swap Amer
lean markets for foreign markets by
such arrangements, and, above all to
be lured into the undermining of our
protective system under the guise
and in the name of reciprocity"

NO NEW THING.

The kidnapping of Miss Stone and
the demand of ransom is no new
thing in the Oitaman Empire. The
succession of wars between Turkey
and Greece since the time of the
downfall of the Roman Empire has
created race Of brigands who can
not be held in check by the most cruel
methods or by the solicitation of
peaceful governments. In 1870 a band
of 2S robbers crossed the northern
boundery of the kingdom Of Greece
rom the Turkish territories and pro
duced the greatest CONSERVATION at
Athens. They were at once pursued
by flying detachments of soldiers, aud
several of them were killed or cap
tured. They then disappeared and
were not heard of for nearly a year,
when they waylaid party of travel
ers in the neighborhood of Marathon,
and made captives of thres English
gentlemen and Count De Boyl, secre
tary of the Italian legation. AS a
ransl m for their prisoners they de-
manded the sum of S126,OO0 The
money was Immediately raised and
was ready for delivery when the rob-
bers raised their demand and insisted
upon free pardon and full amnesty
for all their band. This the govern
could not grant and after long and
fruitless negotiations an attempt was
made to surround the band with a
Gordon of soldiers. The attempt re-
suited only in fearful tragedy, which
shocked the civilized world. Finding
themselves entrapped the robbers put
their prisoners to death and took to
flight. Ten of them escaped, the
loadar and seven members were kill
ed and four taken prisoners.

man was sacred, we carried on the
work and issued the paper which he
had edited, before closing the office.
His last editorial regarding obituar-
les expresses his opinion forcibly and
through regard for him we refrain
from expressing any sentiment. 1t
is not sentiment to say that as fellow
newspaper man he was honest, fear
less, brilliant and able writer, quick
at repartee, generous almost to a
fault, a good neighbor who loved to
accommodate and appreciated q
favor.

who with his parents, brothers and
sisters have the deep sympathy of a
very large circle of friends, Relatives
from distance have been summoned
and the funeral has not as yet been

that can be done for the remains of

yet decid ID, but we trust it may fall
into worthy hands.

headlines across the paper. On Fri

best is none too good for THE HER

CHINESE EXCLUSION.

In an article entitled "The Chinese
and the Exclusion Act" which ap-
pears in the December number of the
North American Review, Joakuin
Miller utters vigorous protest
against the re-enactment of the
Chinese Exclusion Act. He insists
that the real proprietors of the
Pacific coast, the owners of property
and the taxpayers, wish the Chinese
admitted to the country, because,
since their exclusiou, the value of
property has been, in the main, at a
standstill. The real workingman
shares in this wish, Mr.. Miller con-
tends, and viewed from a point of
view of the necessities OF the Pacific
States or from that of the qualities of
the Chinese, the presence OF the
'little brown men" would be bles-
sing. He has high opinion of the
Chinese people;

ROOSEVELT ON ANARCHY.


"The anarchist is everywhere not
merely the enemy of system and
progress, but the deadly foe of liberty.
II ever anarchy is triumphant its
triumph will last but one red moment,
to be succeded for ages by the gloomy
night of despotism. No man will ever
be restrained from becoming presi-
dent by any fear as to his personal
safety. If the risk to the presidents
life became great, it would mean that
the office would more and more come
to be filed by men of spirit which
would make them resolute and merci-
less in dealing with every friend of
disorder. This great country will not
fall into anarchy, and if anarchists
should ever become a serious menace
to its institutions, they would not
merely be stamped out, but would in
volve in their own ruin every active
or passive sympathizer with their
doctrines. The American people are
slow to wrath, but when their wrath
is once kindled it burns like a con-
suming flame"
