MCKINLEY AND REciPRoclrY.
No Nearer Free-Trade Than When He
Framed the Tariff Act


Framed the Tariff Act.
President Mckinley was, as he said
himself. in favor of reciprocity that
would afford new markets for our
surplus agricultural and manufactured
products, without loss to the Ameri-
can 1aborer of a single days work that
he might otherwise procure. In his
last speech he declared in favor OF
sensible trade arrangements which
will not interrupt our home produc-
ton That does not sound much like
free trade. President Mckinley has
been grossly misrepresented on this
reciprocity question. The efforts of
the Democrats to try and make use OF
President McKinley's utterances to
make 1T appear that he favored any
step toward free trade will only react
on the Democrats.
Mr.. Mckinley did not even assert
anywhere that the duty in any case is
now too high. What he did say was
that if perchance" there should be
any surplus duty then he was in favor
OF using it for reciprocity purposes a
statement with which every sensible
man should agree. But he did not
say anywhere or to any person that
there We're surplus duties.
IN some cases, however, there may
be surplus duties, as, for instance, in
the case of hides In that event the
duty on hides should be used for rec
Kinley suggested, and it would be fool
1sh to abandon that duty in favor of
south American countries, which i'm
pose duties on every dollars worth of
goods we send to them, without secur-
ing something in return. A great mis-
take was made in taking off the duty
on coffee instead of using it for recip-
rOc1ty purposes. AS result Brazil
to-day d1scriminates against certain
products of the United States and in
FAVOR of such products coming from
other countries, because those coun-
tries have reduced their tariff on cot
fee, whereas we buy pretty much all
OF Brazils crop without imposing any
duty whatever Brazil gives the Ar
gentine Republic a lower duty on flour
than is given the United States in re-
turn Tor reduction of the Argentine
tariff on Brazilian coffee And yet the
United States imposes no duty on cot
fee, and buys about twenty times as
much from Brazil as does the Argen-
tine Republic That shows the folly
of the United States in not making use
of the duty coffee for reciprocal
purposes.
No such mistake should be made in
the case of the duty on hides The
United States imported in the last
fiscal year over S1O,OOO,oOo worth of
hides from South American countries
which admit nothing whatever from
the United States free of duty Under
President McKinley's policy, if the
duty on hides is a surplus one it
should be used for purposes of rec
1procity- If it is not a surplus duty it
should be retained. President McKin-
ley was no nearer the free trade theory
in his policy at the time of his death
than he was when he framed and
helped put through congress the Nc
k1nley tariff act,-Philadelphia Press.

Leeumes in Orchards.

A A. Huxley: For fertilizing or
chards the value of some of the
1eguminOus plants is admitted, though
they are not yet in general use. The
details of their growth, cultivation
and utility are subjects for study and
consideration, that we may learn how
and when to use the different varie-
ties to the best advantage. Their roots
penetrate deep into the soil, making
it more porous and decompose more
or less of the hardest substances with
which they come in contact. The
roots also support bacteria, which
have the power to change the free
nitrogen of the air into plant food.
The thick epidermis of the leaves pre-
vent rapid evaporation from their sur
faces, the heavy foliage shades the
ground, checking the loss of moisture
by the direct action of the sun and
wind, at the same time keeping the
temperature of the soil at lower
point through thc hot months, than if
clean cultivation was used.
The cow pea is the more generally
known, and different methods of cul-
tivation are practiced. The common
plan in my locality is to p1ow the land
harrow it once or twice and pant the
seed with wheat drill or double row
with corn planter, then leave the
crop to take care of itself. Some
times the seed is sown broadcast on
freshly p1owed land and narrowed in,
there is always some of the seed lost
by this method in dry time. After
the plants are strong enough to resist
the teeth of the implement in USE
they might be narrowed OF gone over
with a weeder to advantage
I claim better results are obtained
by thorough preparation of the seed
bed, than planting in rows, about thir-
ty inches apart and cu1tivating shall
low, keeping the surface level, until
they shade the ground. I think the
difference in yield is more marked on
poor land than on land well supplied
with humuS, even then the seed saved
and the benefit to the soil of good cuI-
uvation is worth considering. Plant
ing this way one bushe1 of seed will
be sufficient for four to six acres The
seed should not be planted until the
ground is in condition to terminate
it without delay. The COW pea is
from a wRm climate and the seed
will rot sooner than corn in a cool
damp soil.

Cardinal Gotti as project of the sacred
congregation of bishops and regular
discipline.
The selection of Cardinal Gotti to
succeed the late Cardinal Ledochow-
ski in the most important post in
the gift of the pope is universally re-
garded as indicating the pontiff's per-
sOnaI wishes as to the personality of
his successor Cardinal Gotti has long
been considered the most likely of
the cardinals for succession to the
papa1 throne. He belongs to the re-
formed branch of the Carmelites.

plants to harbor swarms of possible
food creatures with their eggs and
larvae, and where such vegetable
growths do occur, in the floating
weeds of the Sargasso sea, a race of
fish and crustaceans at once appears
limited to that locality and obviously
fed from that source alone. Neither
does the sea, except in certain areas,
greatly abound in vertebrate fish.
A bucket of Atlantic water is to
the eye simply a vessel of transparent

shoals of fish numbering millions of
individuals may elect to enter this
apparently food1ess waste. The herring
shoals disappear into the deep Attain

and exuberant, and the whales find
sufficient food to make them the fat
test creatures in creation. Many of
the whales are carnivorOus. Some,
including the right whale, have long
been known to live on small sea crus-
taceans which were supposed to be
found in exceptional numbers in the
Arctic seas. But the case of the typ
ical ''shOaP' fish, such as pi1chards
and herrings, offered special difficult

Asparagus

FROM Farmers Review: In answer
to your inquirer as to how to renew
or move an old asparagus bed, / would
say do neither of these, but plant a
new bed This is easy to do, either
with plants or seed The plants are
as easy to raise from seed as onions
and should be planted and cared for
the first year the same as onions
The plants should be set out in the
spring, when one year old, and they
should not be set SO closely together
as was formerly thought best, 2x4 feet
being about right A horse can be
used in cultivation, and the bed be
easily cared for. The plants should
be set in good garden soil, which
should have been plowed or spaded a
foot deep or more.
The depth to put in the plants de
ponds on whether you grow for home
use or market and on the character of
your soil On ordinary garden soil
three or four inches is best, covering
only an inch or two first, leveling the
soil in after cultivation There are
several ways of manuring asparagus
beds, but for home use I would ma
nure with barn manure in November,
after cutting the tops off close to the
ground and removing and burning
them This mu1ching should be light
while plants are small, but when they
get large and strong three or four
inches of manure will not hurt them.
An asparagus bed may be cut for use
the third year after setting plants,
and should remain in good condition
for twenty-five years, especially if
plants are set a good distance apart.
L will only add that the plants should
be set only on we'll drained soil, wet
ground where water stands in winter,
or any time, not being suitable. From
500 to 1900 plants can be raised from
ten cents worth of seed.-Frank Akin.
To the Farmers Review: If Mrs
O. A t. will proceed follows 1
think she will have no cause to find
FAULT with the result. If rows are far
enough apart, cultivate often. Now
off, remove and burn the tops to de-
stroy insect and fungus pests. Get
rid OF weeds, grass and volunteer seed
hngs even if it takes narrowing or
light diskfng. If the bed is small hand
rak1ng will answer. Apply nitrate Of
soda, mostly among the roots, about
zoo pounds per acre. After cultivat
ing dress heavily with good stable
manure. If well rotted the result will
be better. Later in the fall mulch
literally with stable manure, and at
the same time add wood ashes or
bone meal, at the rate of 800 pounds
to the acre. This mulch will hold all
snow over the roots and in the spring
should be worked into the soil. Try
this and report result next season.

NAVAL MANEUYERS
WILL Be POSSIBLE
End of Coal Strike Settles
Difficult Problem.

The prospective settlement Of the an
thracite coal strike will, it IS said at the
Navy Department. remove an uncer-
tainty relative to the naval maneuvers
planned for this winter. It was feared
at one time by the officials at the de-
partment that it you'd be necessary to
abandon several Of the important prob
Ieu.s planned for the Caribbean ma
neuver5 because of the shortage in the
supply of bituminous coal as a result of
the anthracite strike.
Early last spring Rear Admiral Brad
ford, chief of the bureau of equipment of
the Navy Department. made large con-
tracts for an adequate supply of coal at
normal prices for the navy during the
coming winter. Recently, however. sew
eraI Of the bituminous operators have
found it impossible to fulfill their con-
tracts with the navy. A large supply
Of coal is on hand at Key West and Sal.
Juan, Porto Rico. but this is hardly
sufficient to supply the ordinary needs
of the naval vessels in those waters.
One Of the problems planned for the
winter maneuvers was the conveying and
carrying Of coal in GOLFERS from Nor
folk to Culebra Island, in the West In
dies It WIS feared that this problem
would have to be abandoned. but the end
Of the strike viii probably make it pos
stble to continue the original plan.
