Yesterdays game at League Park was
fair example of the uncertainties Of base
ball. Up to the seventh inning the game
was regarded as belonging to the locals. but
In one or two innings the outlook was ma
teriaily changed. While errors which were
to the front, the uphill game played BY
the Cardinals in the last two innings was
deserving Of praise.
By the way. why doesn't Manager Dono-
van put Sudhoff into the game for the en-
tire nine innings? Yesterdays game was
the fourth that the North Side boy has I'm

is NOT PRACTICABLE.
NO DANGER OF a EUROPEAN
TRADE ALLIANCE.
Conflicting Interests Will Operate to
Prevent Retaliatory Tariff Combine
of Foreign Countries Against the
United States.

The Bealieu plan of continental
trade alliance against the United States
might be practical if Europe were one
nation, within the several parts of
which there was the community of in
terests brought into existence by free
interchange of commodities. But it is
practically impossible to form one gen
cral trade alliance against the United
States whIie the several European ma
lions tax each others products. A tar
if schedule against the United States
which would serve the interests of one
European nation might not serve the
ill., 'ests of any other nation. The
United States has one legislative body
which harmonizes to the best of its
ability the interest of the different sec
tons. When a revision of the tariff is
proposed representatives from all parts
of the country are invited to Washing
ton TO represent the industries of their
respective sectl0as. When the revised
bill is submitted to Congress. repre-
sentatives with votes take up the work
of presenting the claims of the differ
eut parts of the country. While no
section gets all 1T asks for, 1t usually
finds upon examination that its inter
ests have been considered and its de-
mands complied with to the extent that
like consideration of the interests of
other sections would permit In this
way the United States presents a solid
front against the foreign industrial
world While preserving accord at home
by unrestricted trade among the States
and Territories.
The Continent of Europe is divided
into a number of little nationahues
which hav; no interests in common.
The fact tat these several royal fami-
lis are allied by blood creates no bond
of union. One daughter of Queen VIC
toria shares the Russian throne with
its hereditary monarch, and another
daughter of the British Queen is the
mother of the present Emperor of Ger
many But those tics do not prevent
the three nations from an almost con-
slant wrangle. Except each other,
what enemy has either in Europe that
requires one-third of its working popu-
lation to be kept in military service
and to Iced upon the earnings of the
other two-thirds? A way to meet
American competition will be found
when Europe reduces her military es-
adjustments to the proportion to its
population that the American army
bears TO its working people. The same
level might be reached by an increase
in the American army to the European
proportion, but the American people
will see that that folly is not commit
ted.-San Francisco Bulletin.

Mixing Fertilizers at Home.

There is one advantage in mixing
fertilizers at home, that if one has a
definite idea of the elements most
needed in his soil, or by those crops he
intends to grow, he can use them In
such proportions as he wishes, without
buying such as are not needed. He can
also usually buy the raw material at
such prices as may save him the usual
commission paid 70 the agents, and the
cost of bagging. and put into his pocket
also the price charged for the mixing.
A part of the two first items is more
imaginary than real, however, as the
dealer wants profits on the material
as he would have on the manufactured
goods. But If the farmer decides to
do this we advise him against the buy
ing of raw phosphate rock or bone, and
mixing it with sulphuric acid. The
carboys of acid are unpleasant things
to handle, as the acid burns clothing or
flesh wherever it touches them, and
railroads charge high rates of freight
on them. because of the danger of
breaking in transportation. 1t is better
to buy the acid phosphate fourteen to
sixteen per cent strong.-American Gull

CHANGED CONDITIONS.
From Good to Bad in 1892, aud from
Bad Back to Good in 1856,

Industrial conditions which prevailed
in the United States four years ago have
been completely reversed. Then and
for three years before workinen were
clamoring for employment; now en-
ployers are clamoring for workmen.
Then the factories and railroads were
burdened with more capacity tLan
business; now they are burdened with
far more business than capacity. Then
the genius of manufacturers was
strained to devise means by which pro-
duction should be reduced to the mini
mum capacity of their plants; now all
the skill at their command Is called into
requisition TO provide means cor il
creasing production. Then the idle
were struggling to secure employment,
while the employed were struggling to
prevent the fall of wages; now 40 hon
est and capable man need want for
work, and the struggle of the employees
is to raise wages.
Unwise counsels so reduced duties in
1883 as TO depress industry and cause
discomfort. Then Cleveland was elect
ed by Il bare majority of 1900 votes.
He devoted an entire annual message
to attack upon the protective tariff lie
failed, however, to get a tariff bill
passed, but kept industry in hot water
till his defeat by Harrison was assured.
Then recovery began, the volume of
business increased in 1889 by two bill
liens Of dollars, and wages rose higher.
The Mckinley tariff came in 1890, and
wages rose still higher. The business
in 1892 reached the highest point ever
known up to that time $63, 332 100000
through clearing houses-and the work
men shared in the prosperity.
In 1893 Cleveland came in again.
Business shrank Immediately. The
worst panic for half a century drove
more than two million men out of en-
ployment and deprived the rest of near
ly 20 per cent of their former wages.
The volume of business in 1894 was %
per cent smaller than in 1892, and the
Wilson tariff taught the country the
practical effects of Democratic theo-
ries Mckinley. Trainer of the tariff of
1890, was elected in 1896 by the heavi-
est plurality ever east before for an
American President, being 603,514,
though In 1900 he increased that pIu-
rality to S59,S24. The votes of work
men in the great industrial States were
Overwhelming. and the election of a
Republican Congress assured the re-
turn to the national policy which de-
tends American labor. There was an
immediate Improvement in industry,
and this received a great impetus from
the Dingley tariff. SO that the volume
Of business through clearing houses
jumped from fifty billions in cleve-
lands last year to over ninety billions
in 1900. Wages rose TO the highest
general level yet attained since the day
when they were reckoned in depreciat-
ed ars.-Leavenwortl Times.

Water i'm Butter.

The Iowa experiment station has
been making a series of interesting
experiments concerning the absorption
of water in butter which are reported
in bulletin 80. The greatest amount Of
water was found in the butter when
the churning temperature was low (52
deg es) and the wash water warm
(T0 degrees). The least amount OF
water was found where the tempera.
ture was II degrees at churning and
the wash water was 40 degrees. the
granules in both cases being the size
of bird shot. The principle shown by
these experiments have proved effec-
tive in practice. as shown by the re
suits of analizing butter made by the
college creamery for the English mar
ket, w'ipu it was desired to make but
ter rlther free from water.

Ru.sla,s Retaliatorr nnties.

The wisdom and propriety of Secre-
tary Cages action relative to the col
lection of countervailing duties on Rus
sian beet sugar grow more and more
apparent Strong representations on
this subject had been made to our
government by the German ambassa-
dor at Washington prior to the decision
of Secretary Gage, and a protest had
been entered in behalf of Germany
against discrimination in favor of
Russian sugar, accompanied by an In
timation that Germany might feel
called upon to impose higher rates of
duties on American products unless the
grievance should be remedied. That
such course would have been taken
by Germany under the continued irri-
tation of having to pay a higher price
than that paid by Russia for the privi-
leges of the American market may be
considered reasonably certain. Then.
indeed. would the situation be serious
one for our exporters. We sell to Ger
many every year Sl90,000,000 of our
products, against only 100000 sold
re Russia, and of the latter sum not
more than 81, 100000 is subject to the
increased tariff put in force by Il; ssia.
Retaliauory duties ON S190,000,0J9, or
retaliatory duties ON $2,500,000 was
the alternative certain TO be soone' or
later presented/to Secretary Gage, and
he naturally chose the smaller amount
by ordering the collection of counter
vailing duties on Russian sugar pend
ing a judicial determination of the
question whether Russia does or does
not pay some sort of bounty to her ex-
porters of beet sugar. For his choice
of action in such a dilemma Secretary
Gage is on all accounts to be commend
ed rather than censured.
1t is of additional interest to know
that the United States minister at St
Petersburg confirms the statement Of
Secretary Gage that the additional du-
ties lately imposed by Russia do not
apply to imports of agricultural ma
chinery from the United States. Ii is
also stated on reliable authority that
imports of railway materials and sup
plies from the United States. being
known in Russia as imports for the
government, are not subject to any
additional duty.-American Economist.

Farm Cattle.

It is not true that the cattle business
to be profitable must be conducted on
the broad ranges of the western plains.
says Texas Farm and Ranch. That is
one profitable system of cattle raising
but there is another which yields fully
as<great profits for the capital invested.
Raising cattle on the farm has in all
countries and all ages been found prof
liable, and more so now than ever. BY
raising cattle on the farm the farmer
has a good market for all the feed he
can raise saves labor and expense of
ira rsportation and avoids much loss
from waste and the hocus pocus of
commerce. And one of the main fea-
lures of stock farming is that it can be
made to continually improve the fertil
ity and value of the farm.
