AN OPEN LETTER.

To w. w. Marsh, Esq, Waterloo,
Iowa, Dear Sir:--I find the following
item in the Register and Leader of
the 23d inst:
All Iowa manufacturers, regard
less of politics, will join IN a move
nent for tariff revision and reciproc-
ity with Canada, sand w. w. Marsh
of Waterloo, president of the Iowa
Manufacturers association. you re-
member the matter was taken up at
our. last session in Des Moines ana
some strong points brought out why
Iowa manufacturers needed the Can
adam field for the disposal of their
wares. I'll tell you, the sentiment Of
the public where they understand
reciprocity and tariff revision is in
favor Of it and can't be delayed much
longer" s. 2. Z. - =, n,
I wish to say that the eastern prov
inces Of the Dominion of Canada do
quite a little manufacturing. Reel
procity with the United States ON
manufactured goods would mean the
closing of nine out of ten of these
factories. VS.. "ii1lI.'.. @'s@ "
Goods can be made much more
cheaply in the United States, as we
have larger trade to supply and can
manufacture in large way much
more cheaply than they can in a
small.
The Canadians understand the val
ue of a high tariff fully as we do in
the United States, and are no more
likely to enter into reciprocity
agreement that would destroy large
vested interests than is the United
States with, the countries of Europe.
Yes, they want reciprocity with the
United States, but on farm products
only, and the farmers of New York
and Michigan won't stand that. ="
AS to tariff revision: If you have
been through two or three tariff re-
visions you will be willing to put UP
with almost any kind Of a tariff
rather than with one revision, 1t
means hard times, if not a panic,
like we had when the Wilson bill, the
Mckinley bill and the Dingley bill
were under consideration. .'JG 4 t'g
No dealer will buy goods when
there is a prospect of the duty being
reduced so that he viii be obliged to
sell them at less than cost; hence the
factories are shut down for want of
orders until the tariff business is set
tled, This has happened so often
since the close Of the Civil War that
the American people ought to know
enough by this time to let the tariff
alone, unless conditions are such as
to make revision imperative, which
is not the case at this time. The gov
eminent must have revenues and
they are now but little in excess of
requirements, so if the tariff is. re-
vised what is taken off from one ar
ticle must be put on to some other
article. and it is more likely to be
made worse than better. H... m..,
If we are having more prosperity
than we can stand d, and want a
change, go to tinkering with the tar
iff and we will get it in a hurry. We
know that from past experiences.

NON-PAYING cows.

The dairy commissioner of Mime
sofa says that 25 per cent of the cows
in that state do not pay for their feed
and that they should be sent to the
butcher as soon as possible. The sad
part of this is that the owners OF
those cows do not know that they are
paying for their feed, but keep them
in the belief that they are doing some.
thing to increase the profits. Many
and many a man has been bankrupted
by the cows he has kept. The trouble
has been that there was no way the
owner could know what was being
done by his cows till the Babcock test
came into use. Since that time the
great factor that prevents its use is
negligence. II takes a great deal OF
hammering to get even single new
idea into the heads Of some men.

So 1t has come to be a question
whether the problem our Legislators
have set themselves at be not, after
all. not how to make men honest. but
how to be dishonest themselves. Some
one has very thoughtfully said that
no law can be framed in which some
flaw can not be found, or, in vulgar
Darlance some 'hole" discovered.
Through these "holes" so neatly de.
vised men come and go at pleasure,
spelling those with whom they have
dealings ard escaping the justice to
which their deeds so well entltle
them.

PRoPAGATlNG GoosEBERRiEs.

The gooseberry may be grown from
cuttings as is the currant or by mound
layering. BY this method the old
plants are headed back to induce the
formation of strong new shoots near
the surface of the ground. Late in
June or July. or when the new wood
has become somewhat hardened, a
mound of earth Is made about four or
five inches deep above the base of the
shoots. In the fall the earth is re-
moved. the rooted shoots are cut OF
and planted at once in well prepared
soil. or they may be tied in bundles
and treated as cuttings until the fol-
lowing spring. II care is used in re.
moving shoots during the winter,
propagation from the same plants may
produce indefinitely from year to year.

fact that the prosperity OF the past

that Kahr corn can be successfully

Well diggers are subject to many all

bring on diseases of the nervous sys-
