FARM NOTES.

There is great deal Of humanity
in axle grease.
Paint is the cheapest known insur.
ance against general decay and loss.
Asparagus is heavy feeder, and
will stand all the manure you can
spare.
A lighted lantern held between the
feet under the robes means comfort
on cold day.
Plow or spade the garden late this
fall, leaving the surface rough. and
plow or spade next spring
Cut and burn all the asparagus tops
to destroy disease and give the bed
a thick dressing Of stable manure.
Thoroughly clean and whitewash
the inside of the hen house and It will
be lighter and cleaner during the en-
tire winter.
Four or five thicknesses Of news
paper cut to fit the bottoms OF the
overshoes win keep out tremendous
amount of cold.
Plenty OF sunlight in and around the
fruit is what gives a classy" finish
to the fruit. and makes 1t sell at the
top of the market.

TOO PROLONGED AN INFANCY
Some Facts as to Inqultles Of "Protec-
tive" System Which VIII Appeal
to All Taxpayers.

The first tariff act under the Con-
stitution became a law July 4, 1883.
1t was the only such act that congress
ever expressly declared to be intend
ed In any degree for protection,
This act laid specific duties on 38
enumerated larticles, and ad valorem
duties on 81 enumerated articles. 1t
put 10 others on the free list. On all
other articles 1t laid level i've per
cent. duty.
The highest ad valorem rate was
on carriages--15 per cent. The prin-
cipal articles on which specific duties
were laid were spirits, wines and malt
liquors, tea, coffee. tobacco, iron and
steel Some of these specific duties
were for protection, and some were
for revenue only. Some Of them we're
equivalent to more than IL per cent.
and some were not.
The duties Of both kinds In fact pro-
duced revenue equal to S1s per cent.
OF the value OF all imports. The ex-
cess Of this over the level five per
cent, rate--that is 3M per cent.-was
about the measure Of average protec-
tion.
Average protection today, after
nearly century and q quarter of
progress in industrial efficiency and
the accumulation Of vast capital in the
protected industries. is nearly eight
times as great.
Does any intelligent man who has
given serious attention to the subject
believe our industries need eight
times, or twice, or even as much pro-
lection as they did 1872 years ago,
when they were indeed In their in
fancy?
II so. what does he think they will
need after another century and a
quarter of dry nursing?

people Are Not So stupid.

That ancient and many times de-
feated subsidy proposition makes ap-
pearance in new form.
Among the many suggestions for in
suring large amount Of business for
the Panama canal comes the recon-
mendation Of Mr.. Simpson, secretary
Of war, that rebates be allowed on the
tolls charged for American vessels.
In other words, Mr.. Simpson would
have subsidies distributed in the
shape of rebates instead OF in the way
Of direct payments from the national
treasury. He would have the people
make present Of cash to the favored
shippers and shipowners in advance
instead of after possible service.
The people are not so stupid that
they will not be able to see through
this ingenious proposition for whip
ping the devil round the stump. They
are not prepared to put out their good
money for the benefit OF any class Of
men.
