HOW ABOUT THE REVENUE? fk« fieslprsnltj Ttirwrj of Bi(h mtiii ttoo ruioairlM. “Reciprocity," says a protection organ, “is free trade in dissimilar and non-competitive products.** That is, one country will admit free articles which it does not produce in considers^ tion of the other’s letting in free what the latter does not produce. Then why was the third section of the McKinley bill called a reciprocity section ? This section threatened retaliation by taxing sugar, molasses, coffee, tea and hides, unless the countries producing them let in our exports at rates which the president thought were fair. Are sugar, molasses, coffee, tea and hides commodities which we do not produce? On the contrary, we produce sugar, molasses and hides, three out of five of them. As no retaliation was attempted against countries producing tea. we may eliminate that and say that three out of four were articles which we produce. The definition quoted shows that the so-called McKinley reciprocity. devised by Senator Aldrich, waa not reciprocity at all. since it was not mainly in products which this country fines not produce. But suppose we let In free all the commodities which this country does not produoe in sufficient quantity to supply the wants of the people. That lets in sugar free, both raw and refined. It lets in wool free, because we produce trot little more than half the wool needed by the people. There is a variety of -other articles to which the same remark will doubtless apply, but these two are imported in large quantities. None of | this class of articles will yield a dollar j of revenue. Of course, then, you must get all the customs revenue from articles imported that complete with our domestic products. What is the result? Having put the noncompetitive article on the free list, you must pet revenue by tuxes on competitive articles. “So much the better." says the too hasty protectionist, “since we can thus tax competitive articles all I the higher.” But they are already taxed well-nigh up to the point where j Importation* cease. If you put on more j tax importations will be smaller, and if you gq as far as the protected interests demand you will stop importations altogether and cut off all the revenue. The notion that higher tariff means j more revenue is obsolete to a large ex- j tent. Many of our tariff rates prohibit \ importations in any quantity worth I naming. Others are very near to the point of prohibition, and another turn I of the screw will make them quite so. The theory thsthigher rates mean more revenue applies only to noncompetitive articles, or others taxed much below the point of prohibition, and even they may be so high that the pieople will buv them In smaller quantities. As to articles produced at home, when the rate is already high, an increase of the tariff will be more likely to reduce ^revenue than to raise it. Then whence comes the •evenue?—Louisville Courier-Journal.

The republicans ore determined upen on extra session tor the purpose, they •ay, of perfecting a tariff measure which will increase the revenues of the United States. If this indeed be their purpose then they cannot reenact the McKinley statute of October, 1S90, because that set was called an act to reduce the revenue. The republicans will go into special session to perfect a tariff bill on the excuse of increasing the revenue, but will take no sort of means to that end. They will meet far the purpose of increasing the protection already accorded overabundantly to American manufacturers. Their policy is to make not a revenue tariff, but a tariff for protection mainly, and they are to-day. as they were when Harrison was nominated in 1SS8. in favor of levying prohibitive duties. Under such a tariff bill os the republicans in the extra session will pass exports will fall off and the tariff will not yield the desired revenue. There is pertinent and emphatic objection, therefore, to the republican hypocrisy involved in the statement that they desire an extra session of congress for the purpose of passing a tariff bill to increaswthe revenue. The pnrty does not want a tariff for revenue, but a tariff for protection, and that is why it will have a special session of congress early in the new administration.—Chicago Chronicle. , The Ohio Shrphrrd*. The political shepherds from Ohio are wolves in sheep's clothing. They frankly said before the Dingley committee that the tariff they demand is intended to shut out foreign wool altogether. They Admitted that their purpose i« to double the price of domestic wool and give it a monopoly. They dld not deny that this would greatly increase the price of warm clothing. They confessed also that their schedule is not intended to produce revenue, but rather to prevent it. This is all the public curs to know about the howl of the wolves for more “protection.” If their demand shall be granted the voters will do the rest, am they did in 1890 and 1892. —N. Y. W orld. American manufacturer* are constantly complaining of their inability to compete with the manufacturers of Europe, and are demanding protective tariffs to shield them from European competition. The nations of the world accept their statements for truth, and when they have need of manufactured foods they avoid America and American manufacturers, because Americans have proclaimed to tbs world that they cannot make goods and sell them as cheaply as Europeans can. They do not tell the truth when they make such statements, and the American people know K, but the people of other coundo not.—Springfield (O.)

THE SELECTION OF SHERMAN. There hi considerable criticism of Maj. McKinley's selection of Senator Sherman for the post of secretary of state. It is a well-known fact now that the selection was made solely for the purpose of making a place for Mark Hanna, who aspires to be a senator of j the United States, and while it may be presumed that the president-elect feels that Mr. Sherman is in every way eligible for the position to which he will without doubt be appointed, it is still a fact that serious question is raised as to his fitness for the very delicate work he may reasonably expect to be called upon to perform. Of course, there may be a spice of partisan ism in the criticism that is leveled at the proposed appointment, but it is doubtful that it can be fully accounted for in this way. The Washington correspondent of the St. Loins Republic says among other things: •The selection of John Sherman for the secretaryship of state creates the most profound surprise In Washington, and especially among the senators who have had to do with Sherman, day In and day out, for years. It Is rather ungracious to say anything regarding a man as venerable In years as Mr. Sherman, and one, too. It must be said, who has rendered such conspicuous public services. But it is a matter of common notoriety here, well known to all the senators of all political parties, that Mr. Sherman has by no means the intellectual strength he had years ago. He has been falling for two years with great rapidity. Physically he Is still strong and active. Mentally he has been growing feeble for some time, and notably since the last session of congress.” It would seem, in view of this, that the exigencies of Ohio politics fall short of justifying the selection Mr. McKinley baa made. There is a possibility ' that the real purpose of Mr. Sherman’s appointment will fait, as it is far from clear at present that Mr. Banna can succeed in his offorts to reach the senate, .but the Mansfield statesman will doubtless receive the honor intended for him in spite of the miscarriage of the plans for-Mr. Hanna’s exaltation. If the worst shall be realized in respect to Mr. Sherman it is to be hoped that the president-elect will be found to have been more fortunate in his selections of men to fill tbeother important places in his official family. It was broadly hinted some months ago by ati eminent republican that Maj. McKinley is a weak, an impressionable man, and if this is true, the president-elect ought to have some strong men about him. Weakness from top to bottom of the administration would prove most unfortunate.—Binghamton (N. Y.) Leader.

PRODUCTION OF WEALTH. Tb® Protectionist Idem of Itriaglng Aboot Better Times. “The immediate mission of the republican party.”’ remarks a republican organ, “is to, start up idle factories, to encourage investment and production. to furnish work at good wages to unemployed labor." An excellent mission, but how is it to be achieved? Simply by the exercise of the taxing power of the government. Nothing could be easier. Taxes are to be levied on things that tbe people need, for the benefit of the men with factories who can convince the leaders of the party that they should be helped. By the simple process of placing a tax on articles manufactured abroad, the people are compelled to buy at home and the home manufacturer can charge the value of tbe article plus the tariff and thus be encouraged by huge profits to keep at work. These profits, of course, for the pub>lic welfare he will divide with the men he employs. The production of wealth is merely a matter of putting a government's lingers into the pocket of one citizen and transferring the money there to tbe pocket of another.. Prosperity can be made by forcing all citizens to chip in and pay for tbe running of a factory w hich another citizen would like to run, if big enough profits are assured. Hundreds of prosperous citizens, with millions. can be pointed out who are living proofs of the effectiveness of the tariff iis a promoter of prosperity. With a bounty on goods and a premium on idleness, factories will be shut down, now and then, by wicked combines, but the taxing power is unlimited and the favored manufacturer never suffers for prosperity while tbe substance of his fellow citizens, who must buy from him at his price, holds cut, lie can live in a castle, ride in a coach and have money to bum. But if it is the mission of a petty, through the control of our government’s taxing power, to start factories a nd keep labor employed at good wages, why this indirection and the trouble and annoyance of making up discriminating duties? Why not have government factories for the unemployed? If we must have paternalism, let os have straight, honest, up-to-date paternalism. freed from the ancient folly and wrong of monopoly privileges. Let us be rid of the tax-made millionaires and give the money to the tax-supported laborers.—SL Louis Republic. -It is estimated that the total appropriations of the present congress will be considerably in excess of $1,000.- j 000.000 and will overtop the highest ex- j penditure* ever voted by any previous congress by from $20,000,000 to $40,000.O0K What the republican policy will be and what the republican howl for more revenue means are foreshadowed in these appropriations. The bigger the deficiency, the better the excuse to lay on the taxes for the favored bounty grabbers; the heavier the appropriations, the richer the plucking for tbe party jobbers.—St Louie Republic. -Chairman Dingley declines to go Into the cabinet because he could not personally supervise every branch of work in the department, and his conscience would not permit him to assume responsibility under other conditieua. A rare bird is Dingley. He is wise enough to know that ha Is ad built te executive station.—-Utica Ob

AGRICULTURAL HINTS AGAINST HOG BUTTER. Al Able Argument by C—grew— Move**, of HuuchtMtU. Congressman Morse, of Massackusetts, defends the farming and dairy interests of the country and the manufacturers of his own state. On January 14 the committee on agriculture favorably reported to the national house of representatives a bill affirming the decision of the supreme court, to the effect that oleomargarine or any imitation of butter or cheese passing from one state to another should be subject to all the laws and regulations respecting the same in that state. Hon. Elijah A. Morse, M. C., supported the bill and spoke in part as follows: “Mr. Speaker, I propose to vote for this bill. I believe It is a proper and Just bill. And in voting for it I represent Massachusetts. Our state has passed stringent laws against these frauds called oleomargarine, Imitation butter or imitation cheese. In the commonwealth which I have the honor in part to represent, a boarding house that uses this vile stuff on its table must hang up in Its dining-room a sign: ‘Imitation butter used here.’ The manufacturers of this product in my state are not allowed to color it in imitation of the color of butter: they are obliged to sell it white, or its natural color, so that the man who butters his bread with it can see what article he is using. "This bill proposes to protect the commonwealth of Massachusetts from having brought Into her borders from other states this Imitation product and sold contrary to the laws of the state. Ever since I have been a member of the house I have consistently and persistently voted for every measure that looked to the suppression of oleomargarine, imitation butter or imitation cheese. Every one of us has a personal interest In this matter. I, for one. do not want to butter my bread with soap grease, even if it has been chemically treated. “The board of health of Massachusetts i was called upon while I was a member of j the state legislature, to pass upon the j healthfulness of this product: and that j board, composed of some of the most prominent men in our commonwealth, said, j among other things, that the door for the propagation of that awful disease known J as *trichinosis' was thrown open to some | extent at least by the manufacture of j this product. And why? They explained why. They said that the oil of the nog, j in order to be made into oleomargarine or j butterine or any of these other products j named here, could not be brought up to such a temperature that the disease germs j would be destroyed, because this extreme ; heat would break the globules and the J butter could not be churned. On the ; strength of that report by the board of health of Massachusetts, the legislature of which I was at the time a member passed thi% very stringent measure to which 1 have called attention. "The manufacture of imitation butter j and cheese is a fraud upon the great farm- j ing Interests of this country. I have, since I I have been a member of this house, voted j uniformly, consistently and persistently j for every measure in the interests of the | great farming class of our country. There | are a great many tribunes of the farmer-3 ! who are demagogues who stand up and : demand in the interest of the farmers j things which would be against their interest. But I do believe it to be in the inter- | est of the farmer—I believe it to be wise j Just and proper—to legislate in behalf of J the great dairy Interests of this country “I have listened to some of the constitu- j tional arguments of the learned gentleman j from Louisiana and the learned gentleman from Virginia. And when I hear some of these learned lawyers. Judges and Jurists discourse upon the constitution, I sometimes think of a minister that I heard of, of whom it was said that his principal qualification was that he could split a theologies 1 hair, and it was not so good after he had split it as it was before. “Now, Mr. Speaker, I am loyal to the j constitution of my country. I find in it i a provision about interstate commerce. It I there is anything in that provision that | will enable us to suppress, control or re- j strain the sale of this vile, dirty compound, unfit for human food, I will vote for such a j measure every time. “It has been said In the course of the de- j bate on this floor, by the way of Justifying this oleomargarine fraud upon the great farming interests and consumers of this country, that the manufacturers of Massachusetts are not honorable merchants and business men and are guilty of fraud in the manufacture of leather, shoes, woolens. etc. Lest by silence I should appear to give consent to that charge. I wish to say a word here in my place. “I call the attention of the house to the fact that a distinguished representative of Massachusetts on one occasion in antebellum times, when the dark crisis was impending and the mutterlngs of war and secession were heard, stood on this floor j and said, in answer to an attack on our commonwealth, that ‘he threw down her glove to the whole band of assailants.* | That man was Anson Burlingame. Now j I stand in my place, and in behalf of the ! manufacturers of Masachusetts, and meas- J uring my words. I say that, for business ] honor, for enterprise, for integrity, I throw i down the glove of her manufacturers, j bankers and business men to the world, i [Applause.)

Massachusetts sell woolen goods and shoes for what they are. There Is no attempt, as i In the case of oleomargarine, to palm It ! off for something It Is not. If there Is j any split leather in their shoes, they are j sold for split leather, and for half the price j of whole leather. If their clothes are made j In part of cotton (as charged), it is to cheapen them and bring them in the reach of the poor, and they are sold for what they are. “Mr. Speaker. I might- go through the whole category of articles made by the manufacturers of Massachusetts, and used In civilised life, and prove by statistics that our manufacturers, for honor, for enterprise, for integrity and for success, can j safely challenge the world. More than that. Mr. Speaker, when the yellow wings ! of a pestilence flap themselves in a southern sky, when Are or famine or flood or pcs- j tllence overtake any section of our coun- 1 try or overtake humanity anywhere in the wide, wide world. In starving Ireland. In famine-stricken Russia, or In the far-away victims of the sultan in Armenia—I say. who pours out its treasure like water to | relieve affliction and distress? Why, these same manufacturers who have been abused and misrepresented on this floor to-day. j these men who are accused of making j clothes out of ‘shoddy* and shoes out of ‘pasteboard.' “Mr. Speaker. Massachusetts needs no eu- j togium or defense from me In these closing ! hours of my service here. In the language of one of her great sons are say: There she stands.’ Mr. Speaker, if this is the last word 1 shall speak in this house. I stand in my place and throw back to the gentlemea who make these charges against the manufacturers of the commonwealth 1 lyxve In part the honor to represent—I say I deny that her manufacturers are guilty of fraud and deception in their products.” [Applause.] _ It is not too late to mulch the fall planted onion sets if the work has not been dune before.

APPLES FOR EXPORT. Valaabl* Information Supplied bytteOP pert meat of Agriculture. The report of Secretary Morton, of the agricultural bureau, gives some valuable information to growers who intend shipping apples to Europe, and especially to English markets. The sea* son begins, in August, when the domestic crops come into the market, and apples bring comparatively low prices. An occasional large crop in Spain or Portugal may result in shipments to England in August and September, but | usually the supplies are confined to the home product. The bulk of English apples, an average year, bring about ) $1 to $1.75 per 112 pounds, but superior kinds fetch much higher prices. Ordinarily, they are seen in the market j up to the end of January. This year the crop was deficient, and was practically used up early in October, and the market left clear for American and Canadian fruit, which is practically all that is available. Our early shipments did not fairly represent us, and brought low prices. Our European agent has heard complaint of a decrease in the sire of the barrel, which usually netted , rather less than 100 pounds each; this should not be, it is a mistake which must be avoided. Canadian barrels weigh from 130 to 140 pounds. When our shippers see Canadian Baldwins quoted at from $2 to $2.50 per barrel, this difference in weight will account for it, and is no evidence of superior quality on the part of Canadian fruit. The bulk of the shipment consists of Baldwins.Northern Spy and Greenings; our Baldwins are finer than Canadian, but are not such “good keepers.” They range -from $2.50 to $3.50 for Canadian barrels, and $2 to $2.75 for American barrels, but it is thought that r these price® can hardly be maintained on account of the large Canadian and American crops. Greenings must be large, as they are used for “dumplings;” small samples would easily fall off a dollar a barrel, and make the shipment unremunerative. Northern Spys bring about the same price as Baldwin®. Freights to London, Liverpool, Glasgow or Bristol (all of them good apple markets) are approximately $1 a barrel, and all charges, including salesman, commission, would be covered by 25 cents. Apples are sold at auction, cash on delivery; if the auctioneer gives credit, it is at his own risk. The addresses of responsible consignees in the principal shipping ports in England can be obtained through the agricultural department, at Washington. Any apples of good color and size will sell in England, but it costs no more to send the best than the medium quality, and the return is better. “If v '•! discard a shilling’s worth in packiu;.. you may better your price two skillings,” is the saying of a London broker. Fruit should be packed so that it cannot rattl^tTfit does, it will reduce value considerably, even though it might be uninjured. FROST-PROOF CELLARS. To Be Secured at a Small Expense of Time anil Hone;. Many old cellars are not so proof against frosts as to make the storing of fruit in them an entirely safe matter. A low temperature is certainly needed to keep fruit in the best condition, but the possibility of the mercury falling

MAXING CELLARS FROST PROOF. below the safety point during a cold snap is a factor to be guarded against. A cellar can be made frost-proof by laying a single wall of brick inside the underpinning, leaving an air space between the bricks and the outer wall, but this is somewhat expensive. An easier and cheaper way is to put up some short studs just inside the underpinning, hnd to nail upon these thin matched boards, down to a point a little below the ground on the outside of the cellar wall, leaving an air spa^fe as shown in the illustration. Fruit will then be out of danger from low temperature outside.—American Gardening. ORCHARD AND GARDEN. Young fruit trees must have good care to grow well. * Thorough pruuing is a prerequisite to successful spraying. Do not <£low too many new plants among the blackberries and raspberries. Rhubarb, asparagus, strawberries, gooseberries and currants should be in every garden. If the vines or canes are too thick in the rows the fruit will be small and oi an inferior quality. Thick planting of trees is as much against production as is crowding ol plants in the garden. - The best remedy for an orange rust on raspberries is to dig out every affected cane and burn it. Whatever tends to produce or built the general health and thrift of the trees will also help to keep them free from disease. So far as possible leave nothing or the ground in the orchard that will afford a harboring place few insect pests during the winter.—St. Louis Republic;
