Progress Of Lessness.

The success achieved by the depart
ment of agriculture in crossing Amer
lean with japanese persimmons should
inspire us with additional admiration
and respect for advanced science. We
may now eat persimmons without being
subject to the pucker with which the
name of this delicious fruit has so long
been associated. Those whose good
fortune It has been to pass the early
years Of their lives in one of the great
persimmon districts of the country, re-
marks the Chicago Inter Ocean, will
realize at once what this achievement
means. Early in the season, before the
persimmon had begun to ripen, they will
recall a great longing for taste Of il
spread throughout the neighborhood.
This passion always manifested itself
simultaneously among the young and
old of both sexes, and for a week or two
the pucker would be universal. Now
this is to end. The puckerless persim-
mon, thanks to the little Jap. will soon
make its appearance in all the persim-
mon districts, and strangers hereafter,
ignorant of the cause. will not fall into
the error of believing that all the males
in the community are trying to whistle
and that all the females are offering to
kiss them. We have already on several
occasions called attention to the won
derful change that has come over life
in the country by reason Of the introduc-
ton Of the trolley. the telephone and the
rural postal route. But these constitute
only a part OF the innovations which
have been instituted since most Of our
middle-aged citizens were boys. What
with stoneless peaches. NEEDLESS wheat
fields. shuekless corn, mortgageless
lands. worryless creditors. careless
children. and. finally. puckerless per-
simmons, the movement back to the soil,
already under full Roadway. will be
greatly accelerated.

THE HOME MARKET HELPS.
5cod for the American Farmer When
the Consumer Bias Money
to Spend.

II has not been very long ago since
Grover Cleveland advocated changes
in the tariff to help everybody. Some
people then were not making as
much money as they thought they
should make, and they kicked at the
tariff until they got a Democratic
administration and the tariff was re-
formed. Then, says the Iowa City
Republican. they had Mexican and
Canadian cattle coming in free OF
duty and prices Of cattle went down.
Steel went down, so did barbed wire
and nails and everything went down
except interest on loans. This period
OF cheap cattle, poor markets and
depression was followed by the en-
actment OF the Dingley law, and
prices have been pretty good evsf
since, so good that a movement has
Deen inaugurated in the east TO re-
move the duty from cattle, chickens,
eggs and butter so they can be Sc
cured from Canada at lower prices
than they now have TO pay for pro-
ducts from the western states. In
1896 we were not troubled about our
foreign markets. We wanted to re-
habilitate the home markets so that
the farmers could sell at home Nc
Kinley said open the factories Of
America to the American workingman
and that was done. When the Amer
lean worker is busy and has money

WINS THE NATIONS BREAD
Present Tariff Vindicated by Ma
tional Income and Indus
trial Protection.

There have been times within the
nearly eight years since the Dingley
tariff was enacted when partisan
critics of protection chucKled over
prospective deficit in the national
treasury, which they could charge
on the one hand against the ex.
travagance Of congress and on the
other hand against the failure Of the
Dingley tariff as a national income
winner. Our national experience,
however, says the Lewiston (Me)
Journal, has repeatedly vindicated
the present tariff both from the point
of national income and from the
point of view of Industrial protection.
For a longer period than any preced-
ing tariff has the present tariff been
indorsed by results in the treasury
department as well as by results in
the shop and on the farm. Now II Is
announced that never in the history
of the country have customs receipts
been so high under any tariff as dur
ing the fiscal year beginning last
June 80. And be it borne in mind
that this generous reinforcement OF
the federal treasury occurs at time
when the business development of the
country was never so rapid, when
labor was never more generally EN-
ployed at good wages and when all
the conditions surrounding the eco
nomic well being of the American
people we're never more satisfactory.
The shutting out Of frenzied finance
by the enforcement OF antitrust laws
takes the wind out of the partisan
larynx which accuses the present
tariff of responsibility for the out
RACES of monopoly.

Plans for a large naval station on
Lake Michigan have been prepared for
the consideration OF the secretary OF
the navy They provide for the ex.
penditure of two and a half million
dollars for the erection Of a large
group Of buildings for the accommo-
dation OF at least a thousand young
men under training for service in the
navy. The establishment Of such a
station on the great lakes is the
natural outcome Of the liking of the
young men Of the west for service in
the navy The modern warship IS
manned not by sailors so much as by
men with a mechanical taste, for the
ships are monstrous machine shops.
The western youth with a taste fsr

pleasant way for gratifying both de-
sire and taste.

Hearst and Bryan.

There is every appearance OF a So
rious purpose on the part Of the so
called conservative" Democrats OF
New York to play Bryan against
Hearst, the design being to kill of the
latter politically and TO render hope
less any effort on the part Of the
Hearst contingent TO carry the state
or country Such a campaign means
also an irreconcilabie rupture In the
Democratic party. but this does not
deter the conservatives" Plans are
on foot for extending the Democratic
Club of New York, a conservative"
organization, so as TO give it national
influence. The young man formerly
ridiculed by the Democratic brethren
as a noisy but harmless yellow kid"
has developed into a terrible infant
whose antics send the Conservatives
into complementary Times.
