BENEFITS TO BOTH COUNTRIES. Thai Would Follow from Free Trade with , Mexico. The following- is an extract from a letter dated City of Mexico, Mexico, July 21, 1893. written b$ ex-Gov. Crittenden, our new consul-general to Mexico, to Messrs. S. K. and Kirk Armour. The letter tn full is printed in American Industries of August 5. “Gentlemen: Minister Gray and I called to see Hon. Romero Rubio, secretary of the interior in reference to the decree of President Diaz, forbidding the introduction of fresh pork into this city. “We presumed that it had a bearing on the admission of all kinds of pork and to a certain extent on slaughtered beef. We did not see an official copy of the report, therefore sought an official explanation of it Minister Rubio, hating supervision over whatever affects the administration of the internal revenues of the country, was the proper officer to see in reference to this subject, and after having received us with that marked politeness ever characteristic of the officials here, he explained that it did not apply to our own country, as no fresh pork was brought here from the i'nited States; and the application was alone to the pork-slaughtered outside of this federal district. “1 think he is correct in this proposition, for two reasons: . “First—To secure the revenue of $4.85 ■on eaehunimal brought in and slaughtered in this district. “Second—On sanitary grounds, as •6uch slaughtered-animals may have been diseased, killed and brought to this market and sold because diseased. Viewing this decree in this light, we think it an unobjectionable one, and no one here or elsewhere should complain of it.

"lie requested me to miorrn nun whether any pork was shipped into this country from the United States. I wrote him a communication a few days jitter the interview, informing him that no sueh meats were shippe 1 here from the United States. 1 hare been informed that not a pound of fresh pork is shipped here from Kansas City, for four reasons: "First—On account of the tariff. "Second—Expense of transportation. “Third—Meat would be injured in refrigerator cars. “Fourth—The home market could and would undersell it, as in the Mexican mind the home meat is preferable, upon the idea, I presume, that ‘home things are always sweeter and better than foreign ones.’ “My observation and experience here taught me a different lesson, particularly in the matter of beef. If the new tariff were not so high on fresh meats of all kinds, could the packing houses of Kansas City ship such products into this city at a profit? I am aware that only a small part of this population can afford to purchase foreign meats, or, in fact, any meat at all. Therefore, the market would naturally be limited to a small per cent, of the citizens of this city. I would like to see the commerce between this country7 and our own extended. I think it should be far beyond its present sum total. There are, in my opinion, two obstacles in the way at present: one, the exorbitant and oppressive tariff system between the two republics, and the other, the methods our merchants pursue toward the merchants here. It would be a blessing to the people of both countries if absolute free trade existed between Mexico and the United States. I hope this word will not alarm some of the politicians in the latter country. Even as ardent supporter* of the McKinley7 hill -as the Globe-Democrat forcibly tjaid in its issue of May IS: "‘If the custom housesonjtbeCanadian and Mexican lines at the United States borders were removed altogether, the countries concerned would be benefited. A free market for all our products, manufactured as well as natural, in Canada and Mexico, and a market equally free in the United States for all those countries raise or fashion would be a great boon on ail sides. We do not want and will not accept anything like free trade with the outside world in general, but with these countries on our border all trade : restrictions; or nearly all, ought to be removes! by mutual consent as soon as arrangements to this effect can be entered ihto. ’ *

“These are words, of much wisdom— •‘apples of gold in pictures of silver.' Kansas alone, by removal of these cus■tom laws, would be benefited millions 1 .of dollars. Kansas butter is now selling in this market at SO cents per pound, llemove the tariff and it would command only half that sum and thedemand, in my opinion, would .be so great that your ‘Silver Churn Ilutterine’ would have to come here by car load to supply the demand. •“There is not a bright schoolboy in Kansas who cannot calculate the financial advantages that Kansas would derive from even a modification of the custom house duties levied at our border. Mexico is improving rapidly in population and in the volume of its trade, and in proportion to that increase will the demand for the products of our country increase. We can naturally supply them cheaper than any other nation, and we should supply Mexico with everything they require, from a paper of pins to the most intricate piece of machinery ever invented or manufactured by the deft hands of Americans. Why not, then, remove the obstacles and to that extent enrich our own people? “If this free interchange of commerce were had between the two contiguous republics the same demand would be made for other articles with which Our commerce is over-stocked. The German? and French have a strong hold on this market. Their methods of doing business are more liberal than those of Amenicans, hence they have obtained commercial control here. “It is gratifying to say that our people, with the push and drive of the Xankee, are beginning to take a firmer hold here, and will, in my opinion, soon take the lead. There should be a natural sympathy between the two countries,"

A QUACK PRESCRIPTION. Dr, McKinley Make* aa Improper Dhf an*!* and (live* a Falne Remedy. Gov. McKinley prescribes the following cure for hard times: “An aatlioritative declaration by congress, approved by the president, that the threatened changes in the tariff will not take place. ” In saying this, the governor proscribes what he knows to be an impossibility. and his utterance, considering the condition of the country, is a piece j of demogogism. The people at the last ' election voted for tariff reform; the democratic party is pledged to revision, and could not make such a declaration as McKinley wants without stultifying themselves. To ask them to do so is mere boy's play. McKinley's demagogism consists in attributing the distress of • the country to the wrong cause. Everybody knows that it is due to the lack of confidence caused by the Sherman -silver purchase law. The country is suffering from collapse of credits and financial paralysis, which breeds industrial paralysis. If abundance of money could be obtained for ordinary operations, the ^hutting down of manufactories from fear of changes in the tariff would not amount to enough to create even a ripple in business circles. The physician who makes a wrong diagnosis of a disease is more dangerous than the quack who administers worthless nostrums. For a prominent man to deliberately put the country on the wrong scent for relief is no less than criminal. The governor is too intelligent a man to be so j wedded to his tariff fad as not to be able to perceive that the real foundation of the trouble is unwise financial legislation. Remedy that, and the country can stand a readjustment of tariff scedules along the line of free raw materials and higher taxes on luxuries.—St. Paul News. _: ■ .

NO TRIFLING. The People Are in No Mood for Child’s Play-They Expect Coojjrea* to Take Hold of the Tariff Revision Promptly. The Chattanooga Times thinks that congress is now in no moo t for serious business, and suggests that it would be a good idea to repeal the purchase clause of the Sherman act and adjourn until-December 4, the time for the regular session. If congress is in no mood for serious business the* people are in that mood, and they are so thoroughly in earnest that their representatives will catch something of their spirit and settle down to work. Wc believe that the majority of our congress me n.are already in this frame of mind. They are fresh from, the people and they know just what evils are most burdensome, and they all know the nature of the remedies and reforms demanded by ther constituents. To propose an adjournment until December, after repealing the purchase section of the Sherman act, is simply trifling with a very grave situation. It is subtantially a proposition to continue the republican protective tariff in force as long as possible. Our readers have doubtless noted the fact that Speaker Crisp talks in a very different vein. He is in favor of getting down to work and sticking to it until something is done that will substantially benefit the country and redeem the pledges of the democratic platform. Our Chattanooga contemporary will find that the people -mean business— serious business—and we see no reasonable ground for the statement that their representatives are not in full sympathy with them.—Atlanta Constitution. Wage-Earners “<«et It In the Neck.” No one can fail to have sympathy with the workingmen of Colorado and other silver states at the deplorable condition they find themselves in and the misery thev are compelled to endure. Their homes have been broken up, and to-day they find themselves wanderers on this free American soil, and through what? Nothing more than detesta ble and degrading McKinteyism. The Sherman act spught to Jfcificialiy stimulate the price of silver, and for stime succeeded. Such inflation, however, can never last, and reaction must assuredly come, it should be a severe lesson ;and,warning to the wage-earner. While the gaseous process is in operation he receives none of its benefits, and when, at last, the thing bursts, he

is one that is shattered by the explosion. The same conditions apply tc other commodities beside silver. The McKinley blowbipe may make things appear larger for ii time, but it is not long before natural condition’s will prick flip bubble, and you can depend upon it wage-earners are the people who will suffer and be found among the wreck. MeKinleyism is the. meanest enemy the working men ever faced, and its place on our statute books is a standing disgrace.—American Industries. _ Summing: Cp the Situation. “Do you know,” said Marie to Arabella, “I have been reading about the tariff.” “Dear me!” “Yes. And I know all about it.” “You don’t mean it.” “It's just as simple as can be. You see, what the country needs is protection.” “Yes. I’ve heard somebody say that.” “And money’is hard to get just now.” “Indeed it is.” “So, of course, we can't afford to pay for arsenals and war vessels and things to protect us.” “I see.” “So they are going to have free trade. When it doesn’t cost anything to trade, everybody will go to trading, and that will make times good, and we can get money enough to have protection. Isn’t it perfectly lovely?” But Arabella was toodeep in admiration to reply.—American Industries. Well Said Senator Quay’ is in a comprising frame of mind. He wants a tariff that will be reasonably satisfactory to both parties,so that it need not be disturbed for a number of years. All right. Just make it a tariff for revenue and it will not be troubled for many a day.— Indianapolis Sentinel.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE. —Jelly Pie—One cupful of fruit juice or jelly, one cupful of sugar, one egg, and one tablespoonful of cornstarch. Mix all together and bake with two crusts.—Housekeeper. —lielatine Icing for Cakes.—One scant tablespoonful of gelatine, dissolved ip two tablespoons of hot water; mix with powdered sugar till quite stiff, spread on the cake and smooth with a knife dipped in hot water.—Detroit Free Press. —Delicious Fried Eggs.—Melt just enough butter to grease the bottom of the pan. then add the eggs, taking care j not to break the yolks. Cover, and cook-till the white is ail set. or longer if you like the yolk hard. Eggs fried thus are immeasurably better than when cooked by'-the ordinal^ method. —Ladies' Home Jouynal. —Feather Cake.—One egg, one cupful of sugar, butter the size of a walnut, half a fcupful of sweet milk, one heaping teaspoon of cream of tartar, half a teaspoonful of soda, one and a half cupfuls of sifted flour; stir only enough to mix well. By using different j flavorings I have a variety of cake. It i$ excellent for jelly, cocoanut or any layer cake. —Gingerette—One gallon of water, one pound white? sugar, one-half ounce of best ginger root, one-fourth ounce of cream of tartar, and two sliced lemons. Boil ginger and lemons ten minutes in a part of the water: dissolve the sugar and cream of tartar in cold water; mix all. and add one gill of good yeast. Let it ferment through the night, anil strain and bottle in the morning.—Boston Globe.

—Cornmeal Cake.—scald a quart of sweet milk at night and stir into it gradually a pint of corn-meal, a tablespoonful of butter and a teaspoonful of salt. Mix together well and set in a cool place to rise. In the morning add two well beaten eggs and beat the wliole thoroughly, as its excellence depends on this; then bake in buttered pans thirty minutes. Cut and serve hot—Orange Judd Farmer. —Chocolate Pudding.—Let one pint of milk come tc the boiling point; mix together one-lialf cupful of sugar, two tablespoonfuls of grated chocolate, a tiny pinch of salt and two heaping tablespoonfuls of corn starch; wet with a little cold milk and stifinto the boiling milk. When it thickens pour into a wet mould and set in a cool place. Serve with cream, sweetened and flavored with vanilla.—Housekeeper. —Cherry Dumpling.—In cherry time I often make what is called cherry dumpling. Fill a deep earthen dish half full of stoned cherries, with sugar and a little water, cover with a thick crust made as for biscuit, and steam over a kettle of boiling water until the crust is done. It may be eaten with sauce made of one part butter and two of sugar stirred to a cream: or with onlj- sugar and cherry juice for a sauce. I make a similar crust for cherry pies, as I long ago discarded rich pastry.— Prairie Farmer. —Elve's Pudding.—Three cups flour, one cup sugar, one cup sweet milk, one cup molasses into which stir one teaspoon soda, one-fourth cup butter, two beaten eggs. Make this into a batter and add one-half pound raisins, onehalf pound currants, a little acid preserves, one teaspoon each of nutmeg and cinnamon and one-half teaspoon cloves. Hake slowly, or boil two and a half or three hours in d tin pail set in a kettle of water. Keep .covered while boiling. Serve with butter sauce.

A LOST ART. Sewing by Hand Has Become a Bare' Ocpation. “It seems to me that fine hand-sew-ng is almost a lost art,” said a lady who was noted for the daintiness of her belonging’s. “I have employed a number of seamstresses, and while they can arrange and put things together very well indeed, when-it comes to fine finishing they make a rather Sifd failure of their work. I wonder that some of these people who pride themselves on their skill with the needle do not take pains to learn some of the old-fashioned ways of finishing. I had a special desire for a ruffle rolled and sewed on over and over on a certain garment not long ago. I tried to get three or four seamstresses to finish it, and finally was forced to do it myself, as none ol them was able to complete the task-in a satisfactory way. It isn't difficult, either; it just needs a little careful handling, and really makes the prettiest of all finishings. “Handmade ruffles are so neat and dainty. Indeed, I never have any lack of those;, for I keep some material always on hand in my workbasket, and when I have a half hour to sit down, I gm never idle. One can accumulate a quantity of pretty ruffling and hemstitched bands by doing a few minutes work at a time, and they are wonderfully handy when the seamstress comes to do the semiannual work. "It would be a good idea if there could be sewing classes in all schools. An afternoon could not be used to better advantage than in training girls to use the needle. It is to be hoped that when we grow a little wiser we will take pains to teach branches in all of our public schools that will fit boys and girls alike for the home duties and responsibilities that are quite ,gure ta come to them all, sooner or later.”—St Louis Republic. Wholosomeness of Housework. To keep the complexion and spirits good, to preserve grace, strength and agility of motion, there is no gymnasium so valuable, no exercise more beneficial in result than sweeping, dusting, making beds, washing dishes and the polishing of brass and silver. One year of such muscular effort within doors, together with regular exercise in open air, will do more for a woman's complexion than all the lotions and pomades that were ever invented. Perhaps the reason why housework dees so much more for women than games is the fact that exercise which is immediately' productive cheers the spirit. It gives women courage to go on living, and makes things seem? really worth while.—Medical RecorcL ~

—George Washington Murray, the negro representative in congress of the “black district" of South Carolina, says in his autobiography prepared for the new congressional directory that when a lad of eleven he was “bereft of both parents and thrown upon the rugged shores of early emancipation, and without a friend to rely on he entered upon the fierce combat for the indispensable bread of life.” ire {ought his battle very well, for he was able to secure the advantage of a college education, and was for many years a teacher in South Carolina. He is the most interesting of all colored congressmen ever seen at the capital, for he is of African blackness and one of the tallest men in the house.
