THAT CHINESE WALL. What Pxnctioa Osn to rhluk-D* Wo *Md It Boro? In a meant speech in congress Senator Mantle, of Montana, tried to revive the Chinese eheap goods scare and warned Americans against the danger of Asiatic competition. As an argument in favor of rebuilding the McKinley high tariff wall around the country he said: “The Chinese empire possesses in great abundance and variety every natural resource necessary to make her a great producing and manufacturing nation. Her soil andclimate and her immense territory are such as to enable her to produce enormous supplies of cotton and wool, as Well as other raw materials. Her people are equal to the Japanese in respect to industry end in their imitative and adapt* ative faculty, and superior to them in respect to their powers of application and endurance. Wages in Japan are ridiculously low as compared with American and European standards, but in China wages are even lpwer than in Japan." This is a true statement of the conditions which exist in China, but instead of helping the protectionists it is the strongest possible condemnation of their policy. The Chinese am the oldest of civilized people, having reached a high stage of enlightment when our ancestors were Ravages. Arts, sciences and letters flabrished in

the Celestial empire centuries before the Romans invaded Britain. Unfortunately for the continued progress of the Chinese there arose in their country about 3,000 years ago a pig-tailed, squint-eyed McKinley, who preached the doctrine that the way to become a rich and powerful nation was to shut out all foreign trade. Being a cunning rascal, h€ succeeded in making the people believe that they would be more patriotic if they refused to buy goods from the outside barbarians, and a royal degree was accordingly issued which absolutely forbade foreigners trading with the Chinese. This system of protection to home industry was maintained until a recent period, and even now the greater part of China is closed to outside commerce and enterprise. In view of the fact that China is the one country in which protection has been fully and fairly tried for thousands of years, the terrible poverty and degradation of its people is surely the best proof that trade restriction is a failure. With enormous deposits of coal and iron; with immense forests of valuable timber; with boundless areas of fertile farm lands, and with a mild and healthfnl climate, the Chinese are still the poorest of all Civilized peoples on,,earth. .Wages are lower, food is meaner, and the general condition of the masses far worse than among any other people. When the American workingmen are urged to vote for re-establishing in this country the policy which has proved so disastrous in the Chinese empire they should ask: “If protection raises wages, why has it not done 50 in China? That country had absolute protection for i,000 years. Why are the wages of its workers so low? If trade restriction impoverished the Chinese and checked their development. why would it not have the same effect ou the United States? What’s the matter with your commerce-exclu-sion theories in China? Wuiddex Graham.

EFFECT OF PRICES. Ckftp*Bli>( Uooda IntraatH Contomplloa <aK»HlBf' Prlcw Lmmm t h - UtBiKBd. The ^reat problem in the industrial and business world is the fact of an . apparent overproduction of all kinds of, (roods. It makes, , no difference j whether, m alleged by some, that it is f really nndercSnsumption -which causes an acclamation of unsold goods, which j makes it necessary to close down mills and factories and throw the workers out of employment. The condition re- > mains the same—millions of people , who want goods, while millions of dol- ( lars worth of goods lie unsold in warehouses or factories. As a remedy for this undeniable evil, which exists to , some extent in all countries of the world, the McKinleyites are urging \ the people to try the experiment of higher tariff duties. **This,’’they S3j, “will increase prices and thus make a - brisk demand for goods.” Whether 1 higher prices will really stimulate coo- j '< sumption need not be a matter of theorising. It has been tested on a large scale during the last few monfhs right in this country and the experiment is still going on. The result is to prove beyond a doubt that dearer goods means lessened demand, and this increases the evils of overproduction. The Shoe and Leather .Reporter state* that two or three months ago the principal boot and shoe manufacturers sought to encourage the demand for their products by reducing prices to the lowest possible point. The result was that the boot and shoe industry been me exceedingly prosperous, most of the large factories having orders ahead for two or three months. The shipments from Boston.'the center of the industry, foot up for May of this year 303.357 cases, against 332,333 last year. 380.443 in 1884, 377.400, in 1493, and 233,244 in 1883. It will be noticed that the two greatest shipments were, made in years when the Wilson tariff was in force, this year showing an increase of more than 50.000 cases over 1492, the banner year of McKinley ism. The other half of the experiment is i tarnished by the iron and steed manufacturers. About the same time that the boot and shoe makers decided to reduce prices, the great steel trust, controlling nearly all the iron and steel mills of the country, advanced prices of their product froth 15 to 30 per cent. There was a chance for the protection idea to show its fruits by increasing the demand. But the results were exactly the reverse of what the McKinleyites claim. Instead of beoomisg greater the consumption of iron and steel at once rapidly fell off. Sales decreased, and a large number of taroaces hare gone out of blast, and more are expected to stop soon. The

output of rellinr mills and forges baa also fallen off largely, and in eon* sequence many workers are idle. This is dne to trust monopoly, aided by tariff duties on foreign iron land steel. In view of these facta, happening right under the eyes of the men who are discussing the causes of overproduction, is it not clear that putting up ' prices lessens demand, while reducing them increases consumption? _B W. EL FAVORS THE FOREIGNER. American Goods Sold for Um Abroad Than at Homs We referred a few days ago to the fact that a large shipment of nails was made last week from Cleveland to Japan and that these nails were sold in Japan at about $1 a keg less than is charged the purchaser in this country. The tariff on nails enables the manufacturers to combine and without fear of foreign competition to raise the price of their product artificially as they have in the last 13 months. While they charge trust prices in the home market they-sell to foreigners at much lower figures. The foreign purchaser is favored by our protected steel rail mills in the same way. Becently the Illinois Steel Co., of Milwaukee, shipped 500 tons of steel rails to Japan. The same mill had previously made several large shipments to that country. These rails are sold in competition

with the English mills and the price of English rails, free on board, is $33.08 a ton, while the price of our home* made rails here is $38.75. The tariff of $7.84 per ton enables the rail mills to charge this price and st»U keep out foreign comp&ition. But when they go into foreign markets they undersell the British manufacturer. Not long ago the Carnegie company sold 10,000 tons of steel rails in Japan. These rails were carried overland to Baltimore. In spite of this expensive transportation and the long voyage to Japan, it paid the Japanese purchasers to buy these rails in Pittsburgh instead of in England. They got them about $6 a ton cheaper than any purchaser in this ‘'protected” country could have bought them. The cost of shipping rails from England tp Japan is much less than from this country, but our rail makers whc charge us $23.73 a ton were able tc beat the English price. $33.08 a ton, and to make up for the difference in the cost of transportation. Thns the protective tariff operates as to many other articles. Its bene8ts are confined to the protected manufacturer and the foreigner on the other side of the world gets better treatment under it than our own seo pie. - Atlanta Journal.

Tt,^: INTERSTATE TRADE. at Wisdom of the Framer* of On* Fundamental Law*. About the greatest achievement in the line of economics of the founders of the United States was the provision that there should be no customs tariff between states Some of tho states, notably Rhode Island, reluctantly re* signed the right to protect theme si ves against the pauper competition of other states. But the prosperity of this country is very intimately connected with the fact that owing to this wise stipulation, and the subsequent additions to the territory of tho United States, there ha* been free trade over a region stretching from ocean to ocean and from the great lakes to the Rio Grande. This absence of interstate tariffs has not resulted in advantage to the older sections only; it has not doomed the ne w west to perpetual agriculture on account of the competition of the long established manufacturing interests of the east. ltTias resulted to the very great advantage of all. Mexico, whose tardy development is closely connected with the protection of each state against : the competition of the others, has at last abolished the interstate taxes. The states will have to resort to direct ; taxat<en probably to make good the deficiency in their revenues, bat they will be astonished to find how much their prosperity is increased by re- -j moving the obstacles to commerce between the several parts of the coun- j try. China and Turkey will retain for a long time their scheme for promoting the prosperity of each province by ! levying duties on imports from other j provinces.— N. Y. Journal of Commerce i

Vague promises that if the Ohio | major is elected president the country will in some mysterious way become j more prospeabus. should not blind the American p<pple to the real nature of McKinleyism. Four years ago that I word was understood to mean a policy ! of high taxation, dear goods and re* 1 strieted foreign trade This was the form in which it was embodied in the j McKinley tariff, and after a fnll and fair discussion for over two years the I people rejected the policy and ordered i the tariff repealed. t j Nothing has happened since 1S92 to change in the slightest degree the es- ! sential nature of McKinleyism. It is now as then a demand for special tar* iff privileges for the benefit of a few j great trusts and manufacturing mo- ; nopolists. It is a scheme by which TO.- j 000,000 American consumers are to be taxed on the goods they buy, in order that a small nomber of millionaires ! may make greater fortunes. It means class legislation in the interest of men who furnish money to buy votes and corrupt the sources of popular govern* meat. It is a bold assertion of the right of some rr.cn to get rich at the expense of the masses who produce all wealth. The popular verdict in 1992 was that McKinleyism was a fraud and robbery. Theft is always theft, no matter what it may be called. Fonr years ago the American people voted against stealing under the form of law. Is there any reason why the same people should now vote in favor of high tar iff robbery. merely because the McKimleyitee are this year calling their leader “proaperitjr’s advance agentT*

AGRICULTURALH1NTS. FOR BERRY GROWERS. Hints on the Propagation of Strawberries and Black Raspberries. It is not always best to invest too much money in new things. Nowadays, hundreds of new varieties of fruits are being propagated and introduced through the catalogues, describing the characteristics and good qualities of each in such a way that would excite one’s euriosity and tempt them to invest. No doubt, though, some of the newer varieties are better than the old ones. But if you desire to try something new, don’t “go in too steep;” buy just a few' and try them, and if they prove satisfactory, you can make more of the same by propagating them yourself, just the same as the nurserymen. It is possible to produce 500 to 1,000 strawberry plants from one healthy

FIG. L plant in one season. The plant is put in a very rich bed, deeply trenched and enriched the year previously with all the manure that can be mixed thereon. The plant then set, work the soil about it frequently, but not deep. Remove all the runners that appear at first.. As the plant gains strength, permit the runners to remain, and draw them out in ail directions from the parent plant, laying a small stone over each where the leaves appear. (See Fis;. 1.) When rooted, separate them, set them from four to six feet apart each way, and treat them in the same manner os just described above for the parent plant. Continue this course, watering in time of drought w ith diluted liquid manure. Soil so rich as that is not desirable for producing fruit, but is just the thing for growing more plants; Propagating the black raspberry is also easy to perform. If we observe closely the plants in the woods and learn the nature of self-propagation we would be more benefited therefrom. We ol»serve the blackcaj4with its longcanes drooping the tips to the rich loose ground, where they coil and assume s snakish appearance and send out rootlets into the rich soil, thus forming a new’ plant. The natural mode of s*4f propagation is almost unknown in t great many places nowadays, since the woods are being cleared out, as the winds have full sway, swinging the plants to and fro, forbidding them fixing their tips in the grouud. Natural conditions have been changed to some extent, and now’ nature has to be as

V/S '//////////S'S/S// ///////.,’> ' r '■ FIG. 2. Fisted somewhat to fill the deficiency Just after the fruit has been gathered is the time to commence “tipping” your plants. Cultivate the soil very finely and dig little holes two to three inches deep, and bend the tip ends of the canes into them perpendicularly, not slantingly. and cover with dirt to hold them In place. (See Fig. 2.) By following this method attentively it is possible to make above a hundred plants from a vigorous plant in a reason. The red raspberry and blackberry me propagated from the. roots sprouting up. It is quite an item to the farmer and fruit grower to understand propagation; they may just have only one plant of a rare variety and increase it to many the same season, thus getting a start very cheaply, even if thef dc pay a big price for the first one.—S. C. Vaughn, in Farm and Fireside. PROFITS OF DAIRYING. Why Hotter .Makers Should Study the Tastes of Their Customers. The pleasant feature about dairying Is the profit. I#the profit is not found, there is no pleasure in the work. This is a general law, but it applies with a special force to dairying, because profitable dairying is a fine art, and success is won by strict attention to business. The man who looks upon a cow as a necessary evil, can never be a decided success as a dairyman, any more than a slovenly farmer can make a success at farming. The price received for butter depends chiefly upon the taste of the consumer. The intelligent butter maker studies the tastes of these people who are willing to pay well for what suits them, and then he learns how to make that kind of butter, ft is the only way he can get their money. It is not the expense of manufacture that fixes the price, says a writer. The consumer cares not that the butter perhaps cost untold labor on the part of some one who churned and prepared it for market. if inferior, it sells for an inferior price, regardless of the coat of production, and if it is superior, it sells at *op prices, though made w ith ease and little expense. And the beauty remains that the cost of producing the best butter need not be greater than that of producing goods of a poorer quality: in foet the bad article is generally made ai the greatest cost, Ignorance is expensive. I think it will make every one v ho owns cows a better dairyman to sit down and compare the prices of dairy goods with other farm produetr. If your cheap groins can be converted into 20 and 25-cent butter and 10-cent cheese or at »© $1.13 per 100 for milk, it will pay better than telling the raw material and robbing the farm of all the fertilizing material that much of the land ia already in need of.—Farmers’ Voice.

HEALTH IN OLD AGE. Ad Old Lady Finds the True Source of Vitality. A Reporter's Interesting Interview with • Lady of Seventy-Two Teen, •Who Tells » Marvelous Story. From to* Union, Port Jervia, N. T. But a short time ago, in a distant part of the country, we heard of a cure by the use of Dr. Williams* Pink ‘Pills, which seemed almost, marvelous, and more recently another substantial evidence of their value reached our ears. Being of an inquiring turn of mind, and wishing to know just how much there was in the story, a reporter was sent to interview the person said to be thus benefited. If the narrative as it had peached our ears was true, it was only Simple justice io let it be known—if it proved untrue, it, would be well to know it. The person alluded to above as having been thus greatly benefited by the use of pink Pills is Mrsi Jane Hotalen, of Balnea* Ville, N. J., a pleasant hamlet in Sussex jCounty, about fifteen miles from this office. .The reporter had no difficulty in finding Mrs. Hotalen. It was nearly noon when we reached her pleasant home, a double bouse, oue part of which is occupied by het | son. She is a pleasant-faced old lady, looking to be about sixty-five, but is in reality | seventy-two years of age. After a few pro j liminary remarks in explanation Of the call, S she was asked if she had any objection to i giving us the details of the case and ho* j she came to try this now famous remedy, j “Not at all,” said she. “If my experienct i can be of any good to others, 1 am sure thej are welcome to It—it can do me no harm.” | ‘•When were you taken sick and what wai ; the nature of the malady!” was asked. i “It was about two years ago. The tronbli , was rheumatic ih character—sciatica, thej called it—and it was very painful indeed ; The difficulty began in mv hip and extended ! the whole length of the limb, i rippling mi completely. I suffered intensely from it, and the ordinarv treatjneut pave me not thi slightest alleviation. I was under Jreatmenl about a month as stated, but grew worse in i stead of better, and was fast becoming dis

courages." ‘•What brought Pink Pills to your notice t” “My son called my attention to an artiel« In a paper, in which it was stated that a Mr. I Btruble, of Branchvllle, a village in this county, had been greatly benefited by theii use. and suggested that it would be a good plan to trv them. But I was skeptical in regard to their value—in fact, I had no con* j flde-jce In their efficacy aud rather laughed ; at the suggestion. But the trouble in* : creased and I Was badly crippled. -A few days later my son was about to visit a neighboring iovvjtt and suggested again that it might be well to try this much-talked-of remedy, and I then consented. He bought j me a box of them and I began taking thein at once. At the end of a week I noted a marked improvement, aud by the tirnel had taken the first box I was able to walk without a cane. I continued their use, tailing several boxes, and am, as yau see, in a very comfortable stalje of health.” “Have you had any return of the trouble?” “Not as yet, though at my time of life, seventy-two, it would not be surprising ix 1 should have. If it comes, I should at once begin the use of the pills. I suppose I in* herit a tendency to troubles of this kind— my mother died from them.” •‘Bid vou ever note any ill effects from the use of Pink Pills!” “None whatever. They never disturbed my stomach in any way. or caused me auy auuoynnce. Neither did I find it necessary to increase the jdose, as the directions say mav be desirable. I am able, as you see, to attend to my own work.” i , The reporter thanked Mrs. Hotalen for her courtesv and bade her good day. It is not often that due can witness such ft com-, plete recovery from such a pertinacious trouble at such an advanced age, aud such instances cannot fail to produce a profound Impression. Readers of the Union may re'y on the absolute accuracy of all the statements here given—nothing has. been exaggerated, nothing withheld. Ur. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. V itus’ dance, sciatic^ neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, all forms of weakness either in male or female, and all diseases resulting from Vitiated hunmrs in the blood Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price, (SO cents a box. or six boxes for I2.S0) by addressing Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Schenectady B.
