"'unsullied" at some future time.
Gov. Bailey made use of similar
Language about two years ago but he
missed his mark. According to the
decision of his own party the said
banner is not only 'sullied" but tramp

MUST FISH OR CUT BAIT.

| The Hon. John Sharp Williams, the
Democratic leader OF the House oil
! representatives, is about to execute q
flank movement on the Republicans
which is likely to cause them to squirm
like cut worm. He will soon intro.
duce several reciprocity bills which will
practically be adjudication ofithe Kss.
son treaties. negotiated In 1895 to 1900
with foreign countries, but which
never were ratified by the Senate. The
sad fate OF those treaties. which were
smothered to death in the Senate
pigeonholes, forms an interesting story .
When the Dingley bill was put
through In the spring of 1897, many
duties were Intentionally left consider.
ably higher than was thought neces.
sary ,eYen by the leading protectionists.
IL was expected by Dingley aud other
Republicans that reciprocity treaties
would soon be made with foreign
countries and duties were left very high
so that we would have a large margin
or bargaining power. Then, after
swapping tariffs with those countries.
we would have ample protection left.
The Hon. John A. Kasson, of Iowa.
was made special commissioner
plenipotentiary and negotiated treaties
with France, Argentina. Ecuador, and.
through Denmark and the United
Kingdom. with several East Indian
Islands and with British Guinea.
These treaties meant much for both
The shippers and the consumers of this
country. The fact that a Republican
Senate would not allow them to pass
means that our consumers are. now
paying duties.higher than were planned.
even by the protectionists.
1t means that the trusts are recsiv.
Ing more protection than many protec.
tiOnlsts would have conceded had not
reciprocity treaties been contemplated.
1t means that our goods-wheat.
corn, beef, pork canned goods, etc.
are being kept out of France and other
countries by duties ten or twenty per
cent higher than would have been the
case had the reciprocity clause been
omitted from the Dinaley law. Thus,
It is for the purpose of correcting this
anomaly that MIR. Williams has intro.
duced these bills. and we now will see
the Republicans were sincere |
IN their reciprocity game. We will put
Inem on record. If they are in |
earnest they will support the
Williams bills. and if thew are
1niY blutting, as we suspect them to be
long, the people of the country will
have chance before this campaign lie
over to ascertain the fact. John Sharp
Williams is placing them in the DO.
'ition OF having to fish, cut bait or get

into them. Neither hot water nor. cold
water should be put into cans first. A
lukewarm water should be used before
any other and the cans thoroughly
rinsed out with that. Then use some
warm water and washing soda. After
that use boiling water and let the
water stand in the cans for a few min.

After the cans have been emptled OF

slow Progress IN nutssrMaklnn.
In the middle west we have four
states that are particularly noteo for
dairylng, Iowa. Minnesota. wisconsin
and IlIinoIs, said Prof. q. l. Mckay
IN an address. Iowa, Minnesota and
Illinois are especially adapted for but.
termaking. Iowa being the banner
state. a. more butter II made here
than In any other state IN the union.
This has the effect OF making US
rather boastf1i; in fact, II Ia com.
mon thing to hear some OF our public
men euloglze this state so much that
We sometimes overlook what they
are doing In other states. II Ia true
that we have things TO boast of, but
when we approach the question Of
milk production, we find that We have
not kept abreast OF the times a. com.
pared with the advancements made
along other lines Of agricultural pur.
suits.
In the year 1880 II required 1T%c
worth OF labor TO produce one bushel
of wheat. In 1896 Il required but 3ike.
In 1850 the average time required for
producing a bushel OF corn was four
and one-half hours. Take up the pro.
gress that has been made In the horse
, business. Not many years ago a three.
minute horse was considered quite n
novelty; to-day n threemlnute horse
ranks nothing better than n good
driver. When we speak Of a fast
horse now, we look for n two-minute
horse. See the great progress that
has been made In the beef business,
good sires selling way up In the thou.
sands. What do we q nd In the dairy
businessH The average OF our state,
40 pounds of butter per COW. In this
enlightened age. We certainly have
nothing to boast OF In such n record
as this. II is true that we have some
herds In the state that are averaging
over 300 pounds per COW. There Is nc
reason why every dairyman In the
state should not strive for a herd oi
this kind. When we get such herds
we will hear no complaints that dairy
ing does not pay.
