4ID TO THE FARMER. — THE WILSON TARIFF LAW PROMOTES HIS WELFARE. fends to Increase the Demand lor American Produce The Ohio Campaign to Be a National Spectacle of High Interest. Agriculturists Benefited. A Washington correspondent recently stated that 75 per cent of the country’s exports consisted of farm prod acts. The percentage has kept up re- I tnarkably well, considering the in- : crease in exports of manufactures. | Some of the latter are probably includ- ’ ?d as farm products. The line is one not easy to draw in all cases. Cheese ind butter should certainly be classed with cattle, under the head of farm products. Lard, too, and lard oil. and oleomargarine with hogs. Then, why not canned beef with cattle, canned ?orn and cornmeal with corn, flou'with wheat, and oatmeal with oats : Flour mills and canning factories are generally classed as manufacturing establishments. Canned fruit and vegetables would have to be included and farm products of all kinds, no matter how treated. A step further and we find that woolen and eotton goods are as much the products of the American farm as the raw wool and eotton were, or the sheep and cotton plants that produced them. Cotton seed oil, olive oil, peanut oil and other vegetable oils would come under the same general head. Including all goods manufactured from articles and animals raised by farmers, considerably more than 75 per cent, of our exports consist of farm products. The fanner is more interested than any other person in promoting our foreign trade. It is particularly to his interest that our tariff laws favor this trade. We sell every year about 5500.000,900 worth of goods to foreign countries. If but 75 per cent, of the whole represents farm products, the farmer’s share Is $600,000,000. Reduce this still further one-third for cost of transportation. commissions and" other expenses outside of the farm, and he has $400,900.000 for his family, his farm hands mil the neighbors he deals with. The farmer’s surplus product must be disposed of. The best and only way ret discovered to dispose of it is the one advocated by the friends of for- ! sign trade. Laws that tend to increase the demand for American produce and goods manufactured from that produce benefit the manufacturer and producer as well as the consumer, and. most of all. the American farmer. The Wilson tariff bill is law of this kind. The McKinley bill was not. The one is promoting while the other injured our foreign trado—st. r jOU j s Republic. k The Democrats of Ohio. Governor James E. Campbell is one of I the ablest and brightest public men in ; the United States. His administration * as Governor of Ohio was honest, clean ! and efficient It was a contrast iq everything of moment to the present administration of McKinley. r Governor Campbell has accepted the nomination for election to his former office, which the Democratic State convention at Springfield made unanimously and by acclamation with uncommon enthusiasm. He did not want to be a candidate. He refused repeatedly to be considered in connection with the nomination. Hut at last he acceded to the demands of the convention and accepted the order of which he was conscripted to be the campaign leader. This nomination for Governor rounds out and places fairly before the people of Ohio the issues that are to be met at the election. On one hand is the Mc-Kinley-Foraker-Bushnell combination compact of factions—a medley of Jre-alarm and tariff politics—each party i to the agreement trying to cheat and j defeat the plans of bis party associates I and rivals. It is a scandalous and indecent display before the people. On the other hand, the Ohio Democrats are united. They have presented a candidate of the highest and purest personal character to lead in the contest for supremacy. The campaign will be a national spectacle of the highest interest, and the result will have a great influence on the nominations and the result at the polls in 1896.—Chicago Chronicle. Revenue and the Tariff. The Republicans of Maryland come very near to placing themselves on the Democratic platform of revenue reform. declaring: “They favor such a system of impost duties as shall protect American industries and provide sufficient revenue for the expenses of government economically administered, so that in time of peace the national debit shall not be increased.” This is the very phraseology of the Democratic platform: "provide sufficient revenue for a government economically administered.” The surplus revenue was so great that the Reed Congress ventured into all kinds of extravagances in order to dissipate it. ami prevent a reduction of the tariff to a revenue basis. The fact is all men of all parties are getting tired of commercial restrictions and obstructions, and it Is not probable that we will ever agaiu have a war tariff; that is. a tariff warring on our industries and destroying our commerce. Free trade will open to America an era of unexampled prosperity.—Louisville Post. . Wool Growers Happily Disappointed. .Mr. L. M. Whildin, who has been for many years Identified with the wool tradeof Philadelphia, has just returned from a business trip to Montana, and is enthusiastic in his expressions of hopefulness concerning the business outlook in the West. In most sections he found good crops and good crop pros-

pects. excellent pasturage, and farmers "nd business men generally in high spirits. “Wool-growers alone,” said Mr. Whildin,“havereceived $6,000,000 more for their wool than they expected to get, and will have just that much more to sjteud to the advantage of other industries.” Wool trade testimony in proof of business revival is getting to be almost as common as were wool trade predictions of universal disaster a year ago.—Philadelphia Record. Wrong All the Time. State Senator Clarence Lexow. New York, whose name is well known through his connection with the Lexow investigating committee, was recently interviewed by a reporter for the New York Tribune. Speaking on the numerous wage advances of the past year, Mr. Lexow said: “This matter of report- ■ ;r east sin wages is a temporary If it is otherwise, then we. are . wrong, and have been wrung all the time.”

As every intelligent citizen knows, the movement for higher wages is not merely a temporary thing, but has been gradually growing ever since the Wilson tariff went into operation. From a few isolated eases it has spread all over the country, until even the New York Tribune was forced to confess two months ago that the number of workers who had their wages raised was really over a million. Since that time at least 400,000 more have secured increased pay. and there is no indication of a reaction. Truly, as Senator Lexow says, the Republicans have been wrong all the time on this question. They pretended that protection raised wages, and that if tlie high tariff were reduced factories would be closed and wages cut down. But when put to the test of experience the protection theory failed on every point. The mills which were idle have all started up. New factories are being built all over the country, and wages have been increased. Thus have the facts confounded the sily theory that shutting out trade and imposing high taxes add to the prosperity of our people. Prosperous Tin Plate Inndstry. Talk about a higher duty on tin plate is rather tardy now, when the present rate of 1.2 cents per pound has been in force for a year with no injurious effect upon the industry in this country. Moreover, in spite of the dismal predictions of those who opposed the reduction of the duty from 2.2 cents to 1.2 cents per pound, the tin plate industry in the United States has grown under the new tariff as never before. Tin and Terne, a Pittsburg publication, expresses the hope that the rate of duty w ill be increased to 1.75 cents “as soon as the party favoring protective duties again comes into full power.” The eagerness of manufacturers to engage in the manufacture of tin plate under the present rate of duty shows how extortionate ?pd plow excessive, even frost the protectionist standpoint, was the duty of 2.2 cents per pound imposed by the tariff act of 1890. Those who are counting upon an increase in the duty on tin plate are deluding themselves with false hopes.—Philadelphia Record. Homestead Then and Now, Things were different three years ago this summer season in Allegheny County. Homestead was quite a center of disturbance, the McKinley style of protection was in full force and reduced wages were the rule. In the same section to-day the greatest advance in wages ever known was made jusf a week ago. when 3.000 puddlers in the first district of Pittsburg were given a voluntary advance and 10,000 puddlers in all shared in the increase. Later on the same benefit will accrue to 30,000 finishers. This is by no means an isolated case. The industries under the new tariff law have taken.on a life and vigor perfectly amazing to the calamity howlers and instances of wages advancing from 10 to 25 per cent are com- ! mon news stories every day.—Philadel--1 phia Times. Ammunition for Future Use. Every Democratic newspaper should preserve files of the later issues of its Republican contemporaries. More w liolesome political truth has been told by the Republican organs in Pennsylvania during the factional warfare nowgoing on than in years before. They are mines of valuable information. When Job prayed that his enemy might write a book he showed an abounding wisdom. The enemies of the Democratic party in Pennsylvania are writing two books; anil a double measure of confusion to themselves and of profit to the people should be the natural result.—Philadelphia Record. I Good Advice from a Republican Paper If there ever was a time when it seemed wise to let well enough alone with regard to the tariff and to avoid agitation w-hen agitation could by no possibility have desirable results, that time is now, when the chief need of business is to be let alone and to be undisturbed by legislative contention certain to lead nothing advantageous.—Philadelphia Ledger. Tired of Tariff Taxation. Victoria, that most inveterate)." protectionist of all English colonies. Is taking the back track and reducing her tariffs. Stiff as they were, they are modest by the side of McKinleyism, aud even the ratfs of the Gorman act tower above them. -St. Paul Globe. Wool Growers Will Please Note. Wool never was so low as it was under the McKinley tariff law. The Democrats made wool free, and it has regained its normal price with sales unprecedented in the history of the United States.—Springfield Register. A Sad Disappointment. Alger’s decision not to be a candidate, if persisted in. is going to be a sad blow to those who love a little humor in their politics.—Albany Argus.

FOR THE FAIR SEX. HOW TO PACK PARASOLS . An excellent way to pack parasols of delicate coloring and material is to stuff the ruffles and folds out well with wads of tissue paper to prevent crushing. Strap the outside in tissue of a light blue tint, a color warranted to prevent the colors changing or becoming yellowed. YOUNG LADIES FORM A BRASS BAND. Minden City, Mich., has just organized a brass band composed entirely of young women residents of the place. The woman's brass band hobby seems to prevail to a considerable extent in the West, judging fi*m the number of announcements of such bands in the Western newspapers lately. Nothing has been said yet about the performances of the bands, nor the sentiments of the communities in which they exist — and practice. WATCH HER VEIL. See a Frenchwoman come into a restaurant. No matter how tight her corsage is she raises first one hand and then the other, and by a few deft touches her veil is off. When she wants it on again she gets it back in place in the same magical way. On the contrary, an American or an English woman, under the circumstances, has to drop all interest in | the conversation in order to wrestle with her veil, and perhaps even has to have assistance before she accomplishes her purpose. To wear a veil right is an art, but no degree of art can render one of these bordered atrocities becoming, and women will continue to buy them because they are something new. “How do you like that?” asked a woman as a young girl entered the car wearing a black mottle! looking veil with her sailor hat. “A great mistake,” decided a judge of veils after a glance. ’That kind of veil makes a woman's face look blistered, or else it has the appearance of being worn to hide pimples or blotches. A girl as young ns that ought not to wear a veil at all, or if she likes the feeling of privacy which a veil gives—and I always feel a kind of protection when I have my veil on—let her select some soft, plain mesh, not a net all flourished over like that.” — A WOMAN ENGINEER. Mrs. Alfred Bishop Mason is prob- . ably the only woman in the States ' who can take out a locomotive. Certainly, she is the only society woman able to accomplish this feat When her husband was vice president of one of the large Florida railroads, ! Mrs. Mason always went with him! on bis annual trip. She had been, I as a girl, intensely interested in ma-' chinery, and it was with her an insatiable desire to take an engine over I the road.

And she learned to do it in fine ; fashion . She began by gaining the permission of the engineer to sit in the cab with him; not doing anything but swinging on and familiarizing herself with its swing and the work required for its movement. She says this was one of her most thrilling moments —to be able to sit her face toward the wind that almost engulfed her, peering out into the darkness that rushed past, and being blinded by the glare of the great fires as the furnace doors swung open to be replenished. Her next lesson was learned at the ! whistle. Then came the bell cord. ' and soon these two functions were left entirely in her hands. As the train drew up to a station I in Florida, where Mrs. Mason wa< i waiting, the engineer and fireman immediately made room for her. She I knew everyone by name on the dis- ; ferent locomotives and they all knew her. Proud was the engineer when his cab contained the bright wife of the vice president. Her seat on the bench near the i window was known by the telegraph operator and station hands as the engine came up, and all had pleasant greetings for her. So, in time, she mastered the more difficult tasks, those that required nerve and skill, and she could take an engine from the Atlantic to the Gulf of Mexico as well as an old engineer. And these latter were very proud of her. One of the oldest men on the road remarked to her once: “Whenever your husband gets out of a job, Mrs. Mason, just come down here and we’ll put you up in the union.” ABOUT DUST CLOAKS. Ifyou are going to travel on land a dust cloak is a fashionable necessity. You may not really’ need it. but it is the thing to have, so get one. You remember the horrible things in brown grass cloth and brown linen which were la mode a few years back? And how they rumpled and got unaccountable grease spots that you could only eradicate with a pair of shears and a piece of temper? Well, don’t jump to the conclusion that those things are worn again, for they are not. The dust cloak of now is an etherealized creation of almost any color of silk, in stripes or plaids oi checks, but should be of dark shades. You can make it up like an unlined teagown minus a train, and put twe big pockets on the hins, a frill anc streamers at the neck and lace most anywhere, and that will be a “ dusi cloak.” i Really, it is a very nice idea. A ■ woman likes to loc»k well traveling, * but she just can't if the mercurv is

I climbing the hundredth round, and ■her stiff collar is dripping, and her ■ dress skirt hot and dusty, and you know it. But she can change that in a jiffy with the dust cloak, for she ) will slip into the toilet room and 1 jerk off that skirt and blouse waist, t and slip into the loose unlined silk business, bring it round in front and _ button it —it must have some big ’ buttons down the front—and after ’ folding up the hot things she took off, she can go back to her seat, conscious that she looks as cool as she feels, and that she is even refreshing for the bored fellow travelers to look ' at - These dust cloaks are made of glof rias, lansdown and mohair Mohair i scratches like the mischief, how- - ever, so you had better substitute I black India silk, which is cheap, and s not open to the objection of snag- - ging easily. The taffetas in fine i stripes and checks are used, and a f few faddish girls have actually es- > sayed white duck and pique dust - cloaks. Os course they are absurd. for they muss so quickly, then they are hot, and entirely defeat the i purpose for which dust cloaks are made. i ——— [ I FASHION NOTES. White plisse fronts of chiffon are 1 exceedingly popular. Bandeaux for evening wear are i popular with those whom they art . ■ becoming. I 1 The tortoise-shell Spanish combs are pretty and piquant. They meas- ' ure seven by four inches. A hat of white satin has black rosettes and small tufts of osprey against a background of white wings. A lovely yachting costume of white flannel is made with coat and skirt. The collar and vest are trimmed with a network of braid. A very girlish hat of yellow straw is decked with cornflowers and marguerites. and has an aigrette of grass, and on the left side a big bow of red : silk. Very little jewelry is worn this season except in full dress; but the shirtwaists and neckties afford an excuse for all sorts of pretty scartpins, studs and neckbuttons. Among the artistic accessories of dress are the Falstuff and Cromwell collars of point de Venise or Vandyke I lace. A pretty idea for a nun’s-gray i crepon gown is a cape-collar of prim- ' rose moire cut square in the back, ■ elongated in front, and turned down 1 on the shoulders after the manner of ! a Marie Stuart berthe, and trimmed on the edge with lace. A perfectly plain collarette cut with one straight line across the front and sleeves, and held down with a band of ribbon over the shoulders, ending with a rosette at each end, is a pretty trimming for a ' child's frock. Mohair, grass linen and fancy taf- ; feta silk form the three most popular I dress fabrics worn this season. A large leghorn hat with a soft, pliable brim, is trimmed with white ribbon shot with pale yellow and brocated with deep yellow cowslips. It has been frequently announced that elaborately trimmed skirts and close coat sleeves are the latest craze in Paris, but this is not the fact. Decidedly novel and pretty gowns of white mohair, made in the revived Louis XVI. styles, have been worn by bridesmaids at recent midsummer weddingsIvory white satin is a favorite tex- . tile for gowns for full dress occa- ■ sions, especially for young women, its smooth finish and lustrous surface giving it a youthful appearance. In the midst of the great number of hats with floral decorations are seen some few with feathers. A favorite combination is a deep buttercolored straw, trimmed with black ostrich plumes. The ideal hat, which is worn with ■ thin white gowns, is pure white straw, with a wide brim turned up a • little on one side, and trimmed with I white lilacs and a bow of mauve or pale green ribbon to give it a touch i of color.

TREES. * One variety of the Indian rubber tree has bright green leaves, bordered with flaming red. At Oroville, Cal., there is an ox heart cherry only eighteen years old which is six feet in circumference. The sacred tree of Ceylon is said to have sprung from a slip of the tree under which Buddha was born. A section of a big tree exhibited at the New Zealand Industrial Expotition of 1898 measured 187 feet in circumference. The largest oak in Georgia (on Jonathan Farmer’s place, in Oglethorpe County) is twenty-seven feet in diameter. . The magnolia tree is so called in , honor of Prof. Magnol. a French ■ naturalist, who was born in 1638 and died in 1715. The estimated age of the dragon tree of Orotava (not authentic, like the recorded ago of the Soma cypress), is 5,000 years. The foundation of a church at San Como, Guatemala, has been slutted seven inches by the growth of two large white gum trees . The oldest known living tree is the Soma cypress of Lombardy, which, the record says, was “standing and oi unknown age” in the year 42 B. C.
