AN IN EXPLICABLE DELUSION. So Motion Cu Tnx Itaolf late Prosperity by Forbidding Exchange. For thousands of years the inhabitants of this round earth believed that, it was a great flat plain. They were not to blame for bolding this theory* because no one had ever been round the earth or had in any way demonstrated that the theory was false. Most countries, with constitutional! governments, believe in the theory of protection by means of duties levied on imports. Just why intelligent voters should continue to support this theory it is difficult to surmise; for every* attempt to demonstrate the theory has proved that it is a delusion. No nation can tax itself into prosperity by forbidding exchange across its borders by means of duties on imports. Exchange is a great producer of wealth. To stop trade is to produce' stagnation and decay. No modern civilized nation of importance has ever tried free trade. The two that at present have the least ••protection*’ are Great Britain ancl New Zealand. Each of these countries Is more than holding its own with its neighbors. One is an agricultural, the other a manufacturing nation. Each has improved its condition by abolish - tag protective duties. Each of these countries was in a bad condition when it dropped protection, Four years ago New Zealand was suffering from the depression common to all of the Australian colonies. Each colony was well protected against every other and the rest of the world. New Zealand concluded to drop tariff taxes and to raise revenue from income and landvalue taxes. While “times” grew worse in the rest of the colonies, they at once began to mend in New Zealand.^ When New Zealand was about to adopt her present system of direct taxation, our consul at Auckland, John D. Connolly, made a report in which it was prophesied that the change would ruin the country financially and industrially. He made a report in 1894 on “Land Taxation in New Zealand,” in which he admitted that the new system was accomplishing excellent results and that instead of the country being ruined financially ‘its credit is better to-day on the London money market than is that of any other country of Australasia.” Thousands were flocking from protection ridden Australia to New Zealand and it was then, as it is to-day, the most prosperous country on the face of the globe. Several other Australasian colonies have recently adopted the New Zealand system of taxation. It is as certain that these colonies will prosper under the new system, as it is that the sun will shine, the rain will fall and that grass will grow. B. W. H.

A NEW PATENT. McKinley's Tariff Falls to Work Both Ways. Five years a go when there was a surplus revenue the republicans in congress proceeded to reduce it by raising the duties. Now that they think there is a deficit their remedy is the same. They propose to increase the revenue by raising the duties in the face of their theory that a high tariff is needed to shut out foreign goods and thus '‘protect American industries” at the expense of the revenues. Even the disastrous success of their policy in 1890 does not deter them. They increased the duties in eleven of the thirteen schedules, raising *the average duty from 44.41 in 1890 to 48.71 in 1893. And they reduced the revenues nearly $40,000,OOQi This might have worked well enough so far as the revenue was concerned if they had not at the same time increased the expenditures to a billion dollars. The result of this was that before President Harrison’s term expired the surplus in the treasury was gone, the free gold had been reduced from $97,000,090 to $937,000, the national bank-note trust redemption fund of $55,000,000 was seized as an asset, appropriations were held up, and in spite of it all there was an impending deficit on the 4th of march, 1893. What sort of a patent double backaction policy is this which is warranted to reduce revenues or increase them according to the exigencies of the political situation?—N. Y. World.

* ‘ SYMPATHETIC. la Looklnx to Protected Interests Don’t torcet the Unprotected Farmers. The unfairness of taxing some interests to give bounties to others was made clear in the house recently by Hon. John DeWitt Warner. Mr. Warner had before him., the Louisiana Planter and Sugar Manufacturer, which was complaining about “adverse legislation in crippling south Louisiana” and high produce taxes, brokerage ^charges, etc. which had caused the value of sugar plantations to decline in value. After sympathizing with the overtaxed sugar growers, be took up the question of farm values in this way: “In another number of the same" paper a point is made of the fall in values of sugar plantation property, and the suggestion is offered that where an assessment had been $50,000 it should be reduced to $40,000. Now, I believe that to be fair. I believe that sugar plantations are probably worth fully 20 per cent, less than they were a few years ago. But is there a wheat field in Dakota from the former valuation of which ‘ you would not have to take off a greater discount? Is there a cotton field in the south, which, based on the price for which its product could be sold to-day, is worth 83 per cent, as much as it was worth a l ew years ago? And, if the sugar planters have lost 20 per cent, in the value of their property is that any reason why the wheat -growers and the cotton growers of other parts of the country, who have lost 30, 40 and 50 per eent. by the depreciation of their property, should be taxed to make up .this loss to the planters of Louisiana? I do not believe it is.” In another part of his speech Mr. Warner held up before the unprotected farmer the great ’profits of the protected sugar trust. He said: “There is another matter to which I

want to call attention, and that u the scale upon which those who, oti behalf of the refiners, are now opposi ng- this report in favor of the removal of the one-tenth differential, expect that we should give a largess to the refiners and planters. 1 am quoting now from the sugar trust’s organ of January 3, 1693. it calls attention to the action of European countries, and especially Germany: “ ‘In promoting, fostering and protecting their beet sugar industries under a system of bounties which, even at such reduced prices, enable their sugar factories to pay 30 per cent, to 40 per cent, dividends, and as the beat raisers or farmers have prospered and become stockholders in those factories, the agriculturists reap the fqjl benefit. There is no reason why the last increase of 1,000,000 tons in our consumption should not have been provided by our own agriculturists under exactly the same stimulus as has been given by Germany. * * * Our own farmers are throwing away their energies and their capital in raising wheat at 50 cents a bushel or lees and for whiah there is no market.* * “Such is the moderation of the trust’s demand, that we assure it only 80 per cent, to 40 per cent, annual dividends. Such U the salvation offered American wheat and cotton growers—to tax themselves to give the sugar trust profits, so that they can get rich by buying sugar trust stock. Was ever anything more simple, in every sense of that word?” STEEL RAILS AND THE TARIFF. The MeEtnhj Cry or Dtstroaa Is Purely Gratuitous. Some weeks ago the Pennsylvania railroad company placed an order for 30,000 tons of steel rails with four companies engaged in the production of rails at 822 per ton. Ever since then the organs of McKinleyism have been5 crying calamity. They have asserted that this was the lowest price ever known; that the rail mills are selling below cost, and that the iron and steel industry was ruined by democratic free trade. It is gratifying to learn from an authoritative source that this McKinley cry of distress is purely gratuitous and without foundation in fact. The Wall Street News publishes the facts as it has them from one of the most prominent iron brokers of Pittsburgh. They are as follows:

The price at which the rails were contracted for by the Pennsylvania road is the regular combination figure now prevailing. If the railroad com* pany had refused to pay more than $20 the rail mills would have taken it, “and, as a matter of fact, could have afforded to,” The Pennsylvania road pays S22 because it wants a specially heavy rail. Said the broker: “Present prices will rule until July 1, I think, unless Tom Johnson completes his plant at Lorain, O., and jumps into the market. He will pull down rails to $18. With billets, that used to cost more to make than rails, down to $14.93, and rails at $22, there is so little going that a company is glad to get a contract at the combination price, though it is $2 less than last year.” So Tom Johnson “will put down rails to, $18.” But Tom Johnson will not sell rails at a loss. He is not that kind of a business man. He is not putting up a new plant—“one of the largest in thp country,” according to the Pittsburgh broker—with the intention of selling at $18 and losing money. ° If steel rails can be made and sold at a profit for $lSthe makers cannot need even the present duty to protect them against foreign competition. That duty is $7.84 per ton. English rails would have to be made for less than $9 before they could pay this duty and freight and compete against American rails at $18. In fact, they cannot be landed at tidewater, duty paid, for $22, the present combination price. The combination has taken good care to put the price low enough to exclude foreign rails. The present duty is prohibitory, as the McKinley duty was. No increase in the duty would bring a dollar of revenue to the treasury or protect the combination against the independent and irrepressible Tom Johnson.—Chicago Herald. _ Prices of Wheat Under High and Low Tariffs. tThe reasons that I have given show th^at nnder low revenue tariffs farm products will naturally and actually hying better prices, and this has been the fact.

An Anti-McKinley Republican Orfia. The Buffalo Express (rep.) having hinted that the McKinley law was pood republican doctrine for the Chi* capo Tribune (repO during1 the late campain, the latter declares that the statement is an “impudent falsehood," and adds: “The law was not good republican doctrine during the campaign, and the compaign was not fought and won upon it. Those who say 'it was belong to the class of individuals who are for moderate, sufficient protection prior to an election, and who after the battle has been fought and won come out with a demand for immoderate, excessive protection for the benefit of trusts and combines, and assert impudently that was the land of protection the people wanted.” Leads to Free Trade. This is my doctrine of protection^ If congress pursues this line of policy steadily, we shall year by year approach more nearly to the basis of free trade, because we shall be more nearly able to compete with other nations oa equal terms. I am for protect lea which leads ultimately to free trad*— James.A. Garfield, 137a

WAS GOULD INSANE? Financial Worry and Physical Exertion Not the Greatest Destroyer of Human Life. For Humanity** Mw, After Thtrty-eix Year* of Ncm^ntpltig Slavery, Bo Tell* Boer Be Woo Set Caldwell, N.J., March 1®, 13».-<8peet*L> Since one of onr prominent citizens suffered so terribly from tobacco tremens, has made known bin frightful experience in behalf of humanity, the ladies here are making tobac-co-using husbands’ lives miserable with their entreaties to at once quit tobacco. The written statement of &. J. Gould is attracting wide-spread attention. When interviewed to-night he said: “1 commenced using tobacco at thirteen; I am now fortynine; so. for thirty-six years I chewed, smoked, snuffed and nibbed snuff. In thertnormog I chewed before I pet my pants on, and for n long time I used two ounces of chewing and eight ounces of smokings day. Sometimes I had ache* in both cheeks and a pipe in or month at once. Ten years ago I quit drinking whisky. I tried to stop tobacco time and again, but could not. My nerves craved nicotine and I fed them, tnl my skin turned a tobaccobrown. cold, sticky perspiration oozed from my skin, and trickled down my bark at the least exertion or excitement My nerve rigor and my life was being slowly sapped. I made up my mind that 1 had to quit tobacco or die. On October 1 1 stopped, and for three days I suffered the tortures of the damned. On the third day I got so bad that my partner accused me of being drank. 1 said, ’No. 1 have quit tobacco.’ ‘For God’s sake, man,' be said, offering me his tobacco box, ‘take a ebew; you will go wild,’ and I was wild. Tobacco was forced into me and I was taken home dazed. I saw double and my memory was beyond control, but I still knew bow to chew and smoke, which I did all day until towards night, when my system got tobacco-so&kfd again. The next morning I looked and felt as though 1 had been through a long spell of sickness. I gave np in despair, as 1 thought that 1 could not cure myself. Now, for suffering humanity. I’ll tell what saved my life. Providence evidently answered my good wife's prayers and brought to her attention in our paper an article which read: ‘Don’t Tobacco Spit and Smoke Your Life Away !» “What a sermon and warning in these words! Just what I was doing. It told about a guaranteed cure for the tobacco habit, called No-To-Bac. 1. sent to Druggist Hosier for a box. Without a grain of faith I spit out my tobacco cud, and put into my mouth a little tablet upon which was stamped No-To-Bac. 1 know it sounds like a lie when I tell yon that 1 took eight tablets the first day. seven the next} five the third day, and ail the nerve-creeping feeling, restlessness and mental depression was gone. It was too good to be true. It seemed like a dream. That was a month ago. I used one box. It cost me |1, and it is worth a thousand I gained ten pounds in weight and lost all desire for tobacco from«the first

day. i sleep anu eai wen ana i nave Deen benefited in more ways than 1 can tell No, the cure was no exception in niy case. I know of ten people right here in Caldwell who have bought No-To-Bac from Hosier, and they have been cured. Now that 1 i,ealize what No-To-Bac has done for me and others, I know why it is that the makers of this wonderful remedy, the Sterling Remedy Company, of New York and Chicago, say: ‘We don’t claim to cure every case. That’s Fraud’s talk, a lie; but we do guarantee three boxes to cure the tobacco habit, and in case of failure we are perfectly witling to refund money.’ 1 would, not give a public indorsement if I were not certain of its reliability. I know it is backed by men worth a million. No-To-Bac has been a God-send to me, and I firmly believe it will cure any case of tobacco-using if faithfully tried, and there are thousands of tobacco slaves who ought to know how easy it is to get free. There’s happiness in No-To-Bao for the prematurely old men, who think as I did that they are old and worn out, when tobacco is the thing that destroys their vitality and manhood.” The public should be warned, however, against the purchase of any of the many imitations bn the market, as the success of No-To-Bac has brought forth a host of couuterfeiters and imitators. The genuine No-To-Bac is sold under a guarantee to cure, by all druggists, and every tablet has the word No-To-Bac plainly stumped thereon, and you run no physical or financial risk in purchasing the genuine article. --- Where ••UU Whiskers** Was.

THE FARMING WORLD. CULTURE OF GINSENG. A Crop That Cm Ba tata to Fay Tory This has yielded mu over $300 from less than two square oils of ground in less than fire years. It have taken this season (1894) from serim beds (3x16 feet each) 2.234 roots, weight 131 pounds. From these were taken out for replant* ing 1,906 roots (50X pounds), leaving 80)4 pounds to be dried for market, making 29)4 pounds dry, whieh sold for $5 per pound; 639 seed ling roots, worth $2 per hundred, for transplanting, were also taken from the same beds, and are not included in above figures. The 2,234 roots had been :inder cultivation in one bed five years arid in the other four years, and had produced during the time at least $75 worth of seed. The first east of stocking the beds with wild roots was less than $25. It will be observed that the stock has been decreased only 328 roots. The above figures show something oi A

ATT ATT A QtTSQUKFOLIA, (THE AMERICAS GIJfSEKG). the possibilities in ginseng culture. 1 have at this writing, (December, ’94) 38 beds in the garden stocked with roots and seeds, 25,000 seedling roots in forest nursery beds, 21,000 seeds sown in forest, from which plants are expected next spring, and this season’s crop of seed, packed in loam m condition to promote germination, ready to be sown next season. I have also during the past foiir years furnished the public with over 60,000 seeds and about 1,500 roots for cultivation. I am aware of the general impression- that ginseng culture is a slow business, and that it cannot be made a profitable success. I admit that it is slow starting and must be worked up from small beginnings, but when once fairly started can be developed quite rapidly. But no one need think he can rush into ginseng culture and make a fortune in one or two years. Setting a few roots or sowing a few seeds, and giving it no further attention, will never develop ginseng culture on a paying basis. It won’t spread over your ground like weeds. To my mind the business is best suited to the small farmer and market gardener. A Chinaman came to Boston a few years ago wanting five hundred tons of ginseng—he succeeded in getting about four hundred pounds. This is the way we are supplying the demand. The exports of ginseng from the United States during ten years, 1882—1891, amounted to nearly eight million dollars—an item of some importance. This valuable source of income will soon be a thing of the past, unless an effort is made to develop its cultivation, as the wild plant is |pst being exhausted sin this country. Ginseng is native in China, Tart ary and Korea. It has been cultivated in Korea for hundreds of years. It is a royal monopoly, cultivated under license, and the value of the crop is estimated at five hundred thousand dollars a year. I am often asked how can we get started in ginseng culture. My advice to all is to go into the forest, gather the wild roots and tran splant them. A few weeks devoted to this Work each year for a few years will give a good start, 'f

OPPOSED TO TAXATION. Why a Great Mur Farmer* Do Not Want Improved Road*. Wisconsin’s farmers are afraid of an increased tax if the agitation for good roads is successful, and they are showing a deep interest In the qnestion. President Blackstock of the Good Roads league says: “We do not desire to interfere with the wishes of the fanner on the subject All we intend to do is to encourage the building of better roads. “My plan would be to appoint some good, practical, sound-headed farmer for each farmers’ institute held in the state. Let him study this road question in his district, and then let the institute hare him conduct one evening during its session; by the end of two years a sentiment would be created among the farmers in favor of good roads, and we might then appeal to the legislature to change our road laws. With proper education on this matter at the end of five years we shall have graveled or macadamized roads all oyer the state, built at one-quarter what is now being paid for bad roads.”

For Shade or Ornaneot Where a tree is desired for shade o* ornamentation, the advantages of the nut bearing trees should not be overlooked, as many of them are symmetrical in form, give a dense shade, are hardy and the nuts after ten or twelve years of growth will more than compensate for the interest on the land they occupy. Plant only the kinds that are known to do well in the section where they are to be grown. The chestnut, hickory, walnut and butternut are hardy, and by a little attention for a few years will take care of themselves. In many situations some of the hardy fruit trees will produce the desired shade and give an abundance of fruit at the same time— important considerations. Eastern Washington will become a great peach growing section.
