IGNORANCE OF M'KINLEY. TIM laptbllMB Nomine* Hat Xo Know!* •dl* of nnaan.rtwf. McKinley’s admirers made haste to give him an opportnnity to make some remarks regarding the Coliseum performance, and he impaeoded the opportu- . nity without hesitation in the style to which he is addicted. Tine Coliseum crowd had just completed its unique job by nominating the Maine protectionist, all-around monopolist and bosom friend of Senator Frye and tin* late Mr. Elaine, when a Foraker club drew up before the Cantojj, jOss house and elicited a “timely” speech from the occupant of that shrine. After uttering rundry words in very j solemn and impressive style about a struggle greater tlian that of tlm cMl wav—a struggle to preserve the honor of the government, a contest in which “patriotism is above party and natioual honor is dearer than any party name”— the great oracl* went on to 6ay: “Thei currency and credit of the government are good now and must be kept good forever. Our trouble Is not with the character of the money that we haw, but with the threat to debase it. We have ' the same currency that we had In 1892, j good the world over and Unquestioned by i any people.” liege we have the same ignorance of j economic principles, the same ignoring ' of notorious facts, that have characterized all of McKinley’s utterances on tae currency question. I The republican candidate is unable to ; see.u’nything amiss in the system which culmiuated in the act of 1890 providing for the purchase ot silver with a new emission of legal tender notes and pro-1 during the disastrous panic of 1S93, O-ur currency was not good the world < over and unquestioned by any people, in 1802.

MR. HANNA’S PROFITS. VcKlataifi Manager Ha* a Fall aa UM Treats. The Philadelphia Press recently complained because the new iron ore pool had increased the price of ore by 38 per cent, without increasing the wages of the mine workmen. This enthusiast-cr supporterof Mr. McKinley and Mr .Hanna was pointing out that the tariff duties on iron and steel products were in danger because of the number and the exactions of the combinations recently formed in the iron and steel industry. “The various iron and steel trades,” said our McKinley contemporary, “which are raising prices by combination may find themselves stripped of all protection.” We quote also the following: “The Iron ore combinat'en has advanced prices and not wages. It ts unjustiflable, The steel billet combination, like that In ore. by raising prices, has affected ail branches of steel manufacture. It has added to the cost of the farmers steel wire. The prices of a long list of articles to the consumer will be advanced by its action.’* But the Press must know that Mr. Hanna, who organized the iron ore pool, needed money for the expenses of Mr. McKinley’s canvass. Mr. Hanna is the - president of the Chapin Iron company, which owns the great Chapin mine. This mine stands second on the list of ore produccrs.utud its output last year was 625,000 tons. The pool advanced prices on the basis of an increase from $2.90 to $4 ]*cr ton for Bassemer ore. The Chapin mine had its allotted share of this increase, and Mr. Banna is interested in other iron mines. It is plain that The increase of about one dollar i>er ton has very preceptiMy enlarged Mr. Hanna’s income. As we have said, he wanted money for MeK:nley's canvass. He said a few Wavs ago that the canvass had cost him $100,000 and that only $3S,000 had been contributed by oilier friends of his candidate. Well, the additional profits of his investment in the Chapin mine and other iron mines and associated interests, procured by means of the pool's increase of price, have at least been - equal, we presume, to his expenditures on McKinley’s account. If it is true, as the Philadelphia Press asserts, (and the Press is his friend aa<l McKinlev’s friend.) that he and his pool associate* did not increase wages, why

They know that the endless chain thus forged was-put in motioiji by .the republican silver act of isyo. They kpow that the currency win never Ik? sound until provision is made for the extinguishment of redeemed notes and for taking the povernvent cut of the business of providing credit currency. They know that the republican doetrine that government should provide such currency is the scarce of the whole brood of errors in regard to money which has kept ,the country in turmoil for years' and produced two great panics, not to speak of less serious on s. McKinley knows none of these things. l|e actually believes, ijf we way credit his repeated utterance*, that tuere is nothing wrong with our cuclenec and that the only thing needed to make it absolutely jierfeet is more taxes for the enrichment of protectees. Is this the kind of ninn to jlead in r. .struggle to presence the honor and credit of the government? Is he the man to guide those economic reforms which we must have before we can b? rid of an unsound currency and the whole black brood of panicr-bretalirg errors and heresies which always accompany an unsound currency ?

HOBART’S TARIFF TALK. Ths Tall of the Republican Ticket Dll Keen Taught l|ow to Wag. vPe6pIe who took the trouble to read Mr. Hobart’s speech of acceptance were doubtless struck -with the remarkable logic of'hIs utterances on the tariff «,m stioa. The tail of the republican ticket has been u.uirht how to wag. and, therefore, bis tufa:,. of McKinley ini might have bi'cxrVfC ken by the syndicate candidate himWlf. Regard lews of the fact that M chin ley ism dissipated a surplus of $1G*',(«XoiX\ brought the gold rese rve down tolthe danger line and reduced the revenue? to a deficiency of over $3,000,000 a month, while filling the pockets of the favored few, Mr. Hobart exalted the McKinley tariff as a greut re re nueraising and buwden-reducing act. But the excessive singularity of Mr. Ilobart’s argument lies in his attack on the effort to reduce the tariff to a rev- j enue basis—w hich all economists admit is th«* basis to secure the greatest rev- ; enue at least cost to the people and with least injury to trade—as a burden-in-creasing and trade-destroying project, j In the extraordinary clarity of his mind i Mr. llobart can eveu see that a lower tariff “closes foreign markets against our products,’* unmindful of the fact that the reciprocity scheme which his platform Indorses proposes to open. | foreign markets by agreement*1 with other countries to take off all tariffs arid engage in free trade. Mr. Hobart hit! for|fotteR how Mr. Blaine smashed Ris hat } and denounced the McKinley bill for not opening® market for a bushj el ofiAmerican grain or a barrel of ! American pork, and that reciprocity i was a device to cover this weakness.

AGRICULTURALHINTS. ABOUT ROAD BUILDING. SngKMtioM Sabmittsd by a V«U-Kaon Canwltui Knglnwr. Country roads are commonly di- ! ruled into two classes— gravel and dirt, writes A. W, Campbell, C. E. highway commissioner for Ontario, in Farmers’ Advoca te. The terms “good” and “bad” are frequently regarded as synonymous with these, and as our roads are usually constructed, this interchange of words is to some extent not without reason. The way to construct a good gravel road is to first build a good dirt road from the natural soil. A good dirt road to those who have driven through sloughs designated *‘had”roads during the past spring, will seem an impossibility. And yet these bad roads are chosen in June'by the teamster in preference to the “good” gravel roads. These latter are now a collection of parallel ruts, with locks firmly set, protruding or rolling loose under the wheels and the feet of the horses. i; The diseases being so perfectly know n, it is a poor recommendation foi our inventive pow ers if we cannot produce the remedies. For dirt roads, take the water out and keep it out; for gravel roads, this and more. There will be less moisture remaining in the roads after the rains fail to assist the disintegrating and upheaving action of the frost. There will be less water to be carried aw ay in the spring, and more ample means to do it quickly.. A dry foundation for a road is as necessary a* for any other structure. Were the beuetlts of drainage better known, our system of roads would soon be vastly

unproved. lirain^ge must be secured at the surface of the road and beneath it Umlerdrainage— there may be a few except ions—will accomplish more than surface drainage. Where and how to place the drains is a matter regarding which no definite code of laws car be formulated, since each mile or less of roadway may lead to an entirely new combination of circumstances. Surface drainage is attained by rounding up the road bed ordinarily with a rise of not le$s than one nor more than one and one-half inches to the foot, providing open ditches on each side of the grade. Crown the roadway on hills slightly more, so as to draw the water sharply to the ditches. Water allowed to follow the track of the wheels will wear them to ruts, and deposit a softened mass of mud at the foot of the hill. The drains running parallel,to the road about three feet below the surface and at the edge of the grade will usually afford the best method of underdraining. Take advantage of all natural water courses to relieve the ditches of their water. Cse hard, well-burned tile laid carefully to a uniform grade with » fall of not less than three feet to the mile, and if it can be obtained al reasonable cost, not less than six feet Provide culverts where needed, and do not allow the roadway to interfere with natural drainage. Do not build culverts higher than the approaching roadway, as muddy hollows in each / 11

A TYPICAL COUNTRY ROAD. Side will result. If possible place small culverts below the surface, and cover with earth, as they will be the less subject to wear and will not interfere with the smooth surface of the road. Make culverts permanent. Avoid the use of perishab% material. See that proper outlets are made for them and Keep fret'. Water which is allowed to stand iu them in frosty weather will destroy the best material. The surface of the road should be kept smooth and free from ruts. Where {Travel or other metal is to be applied it is best to dig a trench for its reception, otherwise the crown will be too high. Gravel is intended to perform the double service of a roof to shed the water and a floor to resist the wear of traffic and to lessen the amount of traction required. A 40 per cent, greater load can be drawn by a team over a smooth gravel road in an equally good state of repair. All the work should be done on a uniform plan in a systematic and permanent manner, with a view to it*: extension on the same plan in subsequent years; thi* in a short time will secure a perfect system of finished roads. Modern road machinery, properly operated, is economical. The grader and roller gre indispensable. The grader performs the work quicker, easier, cheaper and more perfectly than can be expected from hand labor. The roller compacts the loose material, unites the different particles so as to better resist the load, prevents displacement which forms ruts, and reduces t< a minimum resistance to traffic.

Singular Fart About Milk. It is a singular fact that milk shipped long distances to market is in a healthier condition when if reaches the consumers than milk produced in town. ThisJa because the former is well cooled befote being shipped and is carried in refrigerator*cars, and the low temperature prevents the multiplication of germs of decayed disease. Milk produced sear at hand is too often sold direct to the consumer before it Is properly cooled, and some df it is from cows in unhealthful surroundings.—American Agriculturist.

Gladness Comes \A/ith a better understanding of the W transient nature of the many physical ills, which vanish before proper efforts— gentle efforts—pleasant efforts— rightlv directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to anv actual disease. but simply to a constipated condition of the system, which the pleasant family laxative. Syrup of Figs, prompt- : ly removes. That is why it is the only j remedy with millions of families, and is 1 everywhere esteemed so highly bv all i whovalue good health. Its beneficial ; effects are due to the fact, that it is the ; one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acta. It is therefore all important, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note when yon purchase. that you have the genuine article, which is* manufactured by the Cali- j fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by J aU reputable druggist*. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed.
