RENSSELAER JASPEB COUNTY. INDIANA. FRIDAY. APRIL 18. 1890.

A Tender Spot:

Cincinnati Enquirer: The lowa farmers are terribly exercised over the binding-twine monopoly.— They want some legislation to protect thpm from its unjust exactions. They are strongly in favor of protecting American industries, but they do not like to pay two or three prices for this necessary article in order to give twine manufacturers the advantage of the home market. They wish them to prosper, but not at f heir expense. They are certainly intelligeat enough to know that it is the tariff on the raw material which enables the twine manufacturers to practice this ex* tortion. The mechanic day laborer can enter a similar complaint and with the same show of reason that they are compelled to pay too much for their clothing. The taxes upon their garments is as direct as the duties on jute and sisal grass, and they are the victims of extortion as much as are tne farmers in the purchase of binding twine. These same farmers are .delighted with the idea of a duty of twenty-five cents a bushel on potatoes and five cents a dozen on eggs. They favor these taxes because they think it will enable them to obtain an increased price for those commodities. The wor* kingman who takes his lunch in a tin pail to his work is taxed on his boiled eggs,jj which are an important item in his frugal meal for the benefit of the grower of poultry. If the duty on eggs, potatoes, rye, barley, turnips and onions does not bring to the farmer an increased price for those necessaries of life where is the benefit of the duty? If it does furnish a remunerative market and gives him better prices, those who consume those products have'as much ground of complaint as farmers .have to complain of an increased cost of binding twine or farm implements. It were far better for all parties if all this partial legislation was wiped out, and the natural laws of trade were unobstructed. The farmers of lewa, who are so clamorous for protection, are pinched in a tender place, and it will furnish them an object lesson wh ch will work out profitable results.

Farmers and Diamonds

The announceme ,t that the McKinley tariff bill places diamo_ ds on the 4 free list will cause great rejoicing in Kansas, it is a measure of relief which will tend to keep that state in the republican column, and it shows that Mr. McKinley is not only a statesman, but a shrewd politician as well. At the present price of diamonds it takes about 500 bushels of corn to buy a stone which any self-respect-ing farmer’s wife or daughter wo’d be willing to wear.—Krnsas City Star. ■ «•» Over 200 different spring patterns of men’s clothing including a complete line of Prince Albert suits with latest satin roll collars.

When Spectacles Were Invented

Few inventions have conferred \ greater blessing on the human race than that which assists impaired vision. Dr. Johnson rightly expressed his surprise that such a ‘•'enefactor as the discoverer of speetacles sh uld have been regarded with indifferenoe,and found no worthy biographer to celebrate his ingenuity. Unfortunately, his name is a matter of much uncer tainty, and hence a grateful posterity have been prevented from bestowing upon his memory that honor which it has so richly mer*. ited. But it ma/be noted that popular opinion has long agD pronounced in favor of a Florentine monk as the rightful claimant, although some are in favor of Roger Bacon. M. Spoon, in his “Researches Curieueses d’Antiquite,” fixes the date of the invention or discovery of spectacles between the years 1280 and 1311, and says that Alex* andre de Spina, having seen a pair made by some other person who was unwilling to communicate the secret of iheir construction, ordered a pair, discovered the secret, and forthwith made it public.— Italian anl'quarians say that the pereon to whom Spina was indebted for his information was Salvino, who died in 1318, and quotes from an ancient manuscript his epitaph, which says: “Here lies Salvino Arnota de Armati of Florence, the inventor of spectaeles. May God pardon his sins.”

On the whole, it seems I must decline to lecture henceforth, exeept in this immes diate vicinity, if Ido at all. 1 can not promise to visit Illinois on that eirand —certainly not now. Yours, Horace Greeley. M. B. Castle, Sandwich, 111. And here is how the Lecture Committee read it: Sandwich, 111., May 12. Horace Greeley, N. Y. Tribune: Dear Si r —Your acceptance to lecture before our association next win tor came 10 hand this morning. Your penmanship not being the plainest, it took some time to translate ii; but we succeeded, and wo’d say your time, “3d of- February,” and terms, “sixty dollars.” are perfectly satisfactory. As you suggest, we may be able to get you other engagements in this immedia;e vicinity. If so, we will advise you. Yours respectfully, M. B. Castle.

Eaiga Potatoes. Basil• commanding a high price, there are other <s r <n lideratuKis that come io to make the early crop of potatoes valuable. Th« Early Rose continues to be as good at the bout, not only for the early but the late oi oj>, au<l always fetches aremunorat:ug price in the market. But there i* this additional advantage in the early crop—it can bo harvested and removed and the ground put in good order for fall crops. The oest turnips v.e Lavo ever known crime out of a piece of ground (’’’St cleared of ~iy potatoes. Indeed, w-3 do not know of a mort profitable arrangement of crops than t* have turnips follow potatoes. Th* sround usually lias to be pretty good For potatoes, but it is not essential that the manure be very much decayed. Borne, indeed, contend that long, strawy manure is all the better for s petato crop. Tbs turnips, on the other hand, must have the manure very well Reaped, in order to give out its best results. Hence, after the potato hat lone with its fertilizer, there is enough left for the turnip to thrive upon. Wheat and rye alee thrive very vrell on land which has been previously well manure# for potatoes. In all these cases the early potato has a great advantage ovqr the lets one. They allow of a much-earlier preparation of the ground tor the subsequent crop. There is still another advantage in m early potato, la this part of the country at least the plant is subject to the attacks of the stem-borer. They usually commence their ravages about the end of June. They bore eat the whole center pith of Hie stems, an# before the end of July the plants eve all dead, being dried ut befwe the potato is matured. In suon cases there are not often fifty bushels of potatoes to the acre, and of these half of them are too small to be sab able. By getting the potato early in the ground and using varieties which mature early, the tubers are of pretty good size befsee the insects get to work, and thnethexe is a great gain. It seems to us we cm almost do without any more late kinds. We say nothing here of the depredations of the beetle, as it has been so completely net and overthrown as hardly warn longs* to be considered ae a serious ajvy te the crop, early or fihruiOsisw
