in a basket and he was trying to per-

the man questioned, "are they Repub-

They are Republicans" the boy
answered quickly, and with convic-
ton.
Much pleased, the gentleman bought
one of them. Two weeks later the
boy met the same man and tried to
sell him another puppy.

WEAR SHODDY CLOTHES.
Duty on Wool Means Cheap Clothes
For Foreigners and DEER Clothes For
Americans.

Duty on Wool Means Cheap Clothes
For Foreigners and DEER Clothes For
Americans.
The New York Journal of Commerce
of Feb. 23 has an article detailing how
the tariff on wooden cloth works to the
advantage of the foreigner, enabling
him to wear American made clothing
of much better grade and at a lower
cost than the American consumer can
command.
Some enterprising clothing manufac-
turers in this country are importing
foreign cloth, on which they pay a
heavy duty, Of course. but by making
this cloth up into garments and export
ing 1t across the ocean they get a
drawback Of 90 per cent upon it, which
enables them to make a handsome
profit. Such alertness Is, of course
highly creditable to their trading in
stincts.
But the funny thing about 1t Is that.
while this will create demand for
foreign woolens and worsteds and will
directly benefit the foreign consumer
it will bring no benefit to American
cloth mills or, as above stated, to the
American consumer.
Garments made of American CLOTH"
says the above paper, would have to
be priced at figures so high that no
retailer could be found on the other
side who would have the courage to
place them In his stock, no matter
how much superior they might be in
point Of cut, finish or general work
manship." The reason for this high
price Is the high duty which we have
Oh raw wool in this country and which
makes 1t impossible for American
clothmakers to compete with foreign
ers. If it were not for this duty Amer,
lean cloth and not foreign cloth would
be used for export.
Thus. for the sake Of putting money
into the pockets of certain sheep rails
ers. who already have the benefit Of Il
tariff on mutton. the vast American
public is forced to wear either shoddy
clothing or dearer clothing than the
foreigner!
This is clear case where the tariff
has increased the cost Of living. The
gold question has nothing to do with
1t.

SOWING FLOWER SEEDS.
Get the Best and the Freshest-Firm-
ina the Soil,

To secure good stand the first
requisite is first class seed. Flower
seeds are generally smaller and more
delicate than farm seeds, and the pur-
chase Of poor grades at bargain rates
is usually waste Of time and money.
Plant only strong. fresh seed Usually
the highest priced is the cheapest.
The next step is the preparation Of
the seed bed See that the soil is
thoroughly mellowed. The first stage
In termination is the absorption OF
water. The rate of absorption is de-
termined by the number Of points of
contact between the seed coat and the
soil particles. Firming the soil null
tipies the number of points of con-
tact; hence the wisdom of one famous
authority's rule to put your foot on
everything you sow. If the soil is
wet this firming is inadvisable, but If
dry it is quite necessary.
The depth of the covering Is gov
erned largely by the size Of the seed.
Generally seeds may be covered to a
depth equal in thickness to the length
Of the seed. Very small seeds should
not be covered ut all. the better plan
being to shade them for n few days
with papers to hasten termination.
Each class of seeds has its own
germinative temperature requirement
Some. like the sweet pea, sprout when
the frost is hardly out of the ground.
whereas other kinds require a good
warm soil. and the seed will rot If
planted too soon. The habitat of the
plant will usually give one Il clew in
this regard Plants from cool regions
or high attitudes usually start early.
and those from warmer regions should
not be planted until later.
AS the seeds begin to sprout 1t Is
we'll to go over the surface of the bed
with Il rake and break the crust for
the purpose of assisting the young
plantlet in getting through.
Competition should be eliminated by
keeping the weeds down and by thin
ming out. Overcrowding means weak.
spndly plants. Give plenty of room
and sunlight If you want your plants
to thrive.

He is Il wise consumer that knows
how much he is taxed by the tariff.
1t was not the intention of those who
framed it that he should know. The
tricks Of classification are calculated
to battle all but trained experts.
The Journal Of Commerce recently
called attention to what it calls a
Typical Tariff Juggle" perpetrated
by these gentlemen:
Little attention was paid by the
public to the enormous increase in the
duty on silks and cotton mixed goods

moment in the new tariff by the con-
ference committee. Goods which were
paying GO cents per pound under the
Dingley tariff were advanced to 20
cents in the senate bill. but by quietly
changing the figures in conference,
