— BOW TO CURB HANHAISM. deaasta* Flood of Deatooraoy Will Carry OF the Rottea of lUnjkUraalM, Senators Hanna. Qnaj and Platt, the three roost conspicuous content’ porary republicans in the United States, represent modern republican* ism in its jnost aggressive, efficient form. They and their like frame its policies and express Its spirit. Can any honeat man say, party bias aside, that it pleases him to see a great party so dominated? Do Hanna and Platt and Quay stand for anything which the patriot desires for the republic? Are they clean? Are they concerned for public as against private interests? la their sway advantageous to the masses of the people or <$o the kind of men who make fortunes by exploiting the masses— men who are licensed by republican legislation todevy taxes for their private benefit upon the public? Do (Hanna and Quay and Platt represent jgoverntaent by popular vote or government by check book? Do their* name* give inspiration to the citiaen jgf?who loves hiscountry, or to the gentJemen of the trusts who care nothing for their country, but everything for their bank accounts? The reign of a sordid cynicism is typified by these republican leaders. They and their kind are in undisputed possession of the republican party. Their life work, as the raoeking writer puts it, is to “keep the government out of the hands of the people.” In this they have had the success of the genius “which consists 'of an infinite capacity for faking things.” Theirs is the republicanism which gives iis Han* nakm in peace and Algeri«m in war. They are the champions of privilige. of the rule of the people by the clever and conscienceless whose one ain* i» financial gain. ‘ Hanna, Quay and Platt are not responsible for their own existence. Behind every effect is a cause, and the ^Successful speculator in politics could ‘not flourish were it not for the conditions that make him the fittest to survive. The fittest are often the worst. Rattlesnakes are the product of the Arizona desert, the fittest to survive there, in the same sense in which the, Hannas and Quays and Platts are the fittest to survive in the political environmept which republicanism has' created.

annua* anu vu‘';5 nnu i mus vtiu continue to rob and rot the country until Its citizens go to thepolls and end the system of which they arethe fruit. There is only one cure for them, and that isdemocrary. The cleansing wave of democracy came up against Hanna* lm in 1S96. It rose high, but not quite high enouph. Thoughtful men. who can look deeper than surface professions, hope that two years hence the rogues who jopple with phrases about the national honor to divert notice fromtjieir own dishonor will be swept away oa a Johnstown flood of plain American honesty. Hannaism must be destroyed if government by the peo^e is to be restored.—X. Y. Journal. GOLD AND INTEREST. Lower Rate* Indicate Diminution of Baslaen* and Decrease la ladnatrjr. The apreement to pay interest does not contemplate the purchase of money, but the return of the same tbinp borrowed. The value of money Is to be determined by its purchasing power, not by its interest-petting power. .The demand for the purchase ©f money is founded upon entirely different conditions from the demand for the loan of money. In fact, when the purchasing power is greatest the lending power is least. The increasing of the purchasing power of money is “falling prices” of everything else. Falling prices work ruin and disaster to industries and business. Men do not increase their industries or start new enterprises w hen everyone is losing money in their line. Industries and business are operated largely upon borrowed money. The demand for the loan of money is created by ♦ he activity of industries apd business. Therefore interest is highest when industries and business lire most thriving and lowest when they are diminished by falling price*. Consequently lower rates of interest, instead of proving that money has not appreciated in eaiue. demonstrate the contrary. In other words,.the appreciation of money, which is falling prices, has produced diminution of business, and therefore less demand* for credits and lower Interests.

Ut tlie Pwpl» Aatwrr, I mv a statement in a gold standard aewspeper recently to the effect that we are now prosperous, had about everything we needed and ought" to thank the Lord that we are as well off as we are. Now. I have no argument to make4n answer to auch wild statements as tbqt. 1 simply* leave it for every laborer^tor every manufacturer, for every business, yea. for every railroad man ard every banker to answer. We have unlimited resources, have the most productive country in the world, we have every kind and character of Induttry, and the ingenuity, enterprise, puah and intelligence of our people are unsurpassed anywhere; therefore we should be prosperous and happy .—John P. AJtgeld. ——Republican orator* have settled iovru to the work of defending the administration. It is not so'much a campaign of apology for the corruption and favoritism of the administration aa It !» one of justification, but which needs an inftneose amount of explaining and defending. This means that the policy of the administration is ndt to be changed In any way. but the people are to be made to believe that the administration knows better than they what ia good for the country.— City Timet.

HANNA’S IMPEFTALISM. Tfet* Repablleu Boss Is AlnU4 •! Ovcrcooldenee la BU Party* Hou. Mark Haas* opposed the war policy to the last day. In the afternoon, bat seems now to be more imperialistic than the co-.ar of Russia. Yet we discern In his outgivings the note of alarm left the country should not come up to the scratch. In an interview at Cleveland he saya that tie republicans are indulging in overconfidence respecting the fall elections He (Hanna) is not an optimist. He does not put any credence in the figures given out by the congressional committee at Washington that the republicans are sure of 16 majority in the next- house. “We are not sure of anytmng,” he declares. “The thing to do is not to predict, but goto work." All very good advice and all very true, except the statement that the republican party is suffering from overconfidence. The party has no such ailment. The trouble is not overconfidence. but lethargy. The party sees the danger ahead as plainly as Mr. Hanna does, but it is incapable of rousing itself, and the reason is that it is divided in its7own mind respecting the very policy of imperialism and expansion and foreign possessions that Mr. Hanna has helped to push upon it. It is doubled by the pledge solemnly given that the war was not a wer of conquest and of gain, and that after delivering Cuba from oppression we would come home and leave her free and independent. Here is Senator Foraker’s chance to put his knife under the fifth ribs of McKinley and Hanna. He. too, has had himself interviewed. He says that we have no mo^e right to keep a military force in Cuba after the Spaniards evacuate than to put such a force in any other foreign country with which we are at peace. All this talk about throwing JO 000 soldiers into Cuba after the Spaniards withdraw is without authority so far as congress is concerned. and will not be sanctioned by the senate, in ForakerVopinion. He would withdraw all our troops as toon as the Spaniards are cleared out and then await events. At- the same time he is just as fierce for grabbing the Philippines as Hanna himself. He ; thinks that the peace commission at Paris ought never to have been ap- i pointed. We onght to have made a j treaty instead of a protocol at the end of the war. Ail of this talk tends to disorganize the* party and to give Mr. Hanna fresh cause for doubting the ! predictions of the congressional com- I raitUe at Washingtoh.—X. Y. Post.

WAGES JUGGLED. Manipulator* of Flgarn Employed by Goldbay* to Fool tbe People. Attempt* have lately been made bj ] men holding position* under the fed- j eral administration and by men who have been hired to work for a gold standard to show that wage* haTe not j fallen. This is simply a dishonest jug- j gling with figure*. Every mechanic j and laboring man in the United States ! knows that it isnot tTue, and thorough investigation by congress shows that just the opposite is the case. In 1891 a committee of the United Spates senate made a thorough investigation of the entire subject of wages. John G. i Carlisle was a member of this com- ; mittee. It made an exhaustive report. ' and showed that from 1840 to 1873 wares had nearly doubled, but, in the language of the committee.“after 1873 there was a marked falling off.” The committee then shows that while there was a slight rise about 1880 in wages, it j never reached the point occupied before. anti that afterwards there was a continuous decline. One method of , juggling with figures which is sometimes resorted to is the fallowing: The-salaries of higher officials of t corporation, which as a rule have not been reduced, are added to tbe sum pa:d the workmen; in this way they get a h*gh average. For example, take a corporation which formerly employed 100 men and gave each on an average $600 a year, making860.000 for 100: a,t the same time it paid one high official $10,000 a year; by adding this to the $60,000 would make the pay roll $70,000, then dividing this sum by 101. being the number of employes, including the high official, it make* nearly $700 a* the average. The same corporation may to-day employ only SO men and give each on an average only $500 making $25,000; it pays *be present high official $10j000. which, added to the $25,000, makes the present pay roll $35,000; dividing that sum by 51 makes nearly $700 as the. average, although formerly twice as many men were employed as now and each man got one-fifth more than he gets now. This illustrate* the adage that whil* figures don't lie. liar* can figure.

-"Dufies make a difference in pricea,but not in competition, whether there is a tariff or not. The simple fact la that protection has at last run its course and must be abandoned eren in this country. The highest protec* tion ever accorded to home manufactures ha* proved a loss of revenue and hampered production to the utmost limit, and manufacturer* are beginning to see that if their product is to be sold abroad at all they must be relieved of the burden of protection. The came ia true of our commercial marine.—Milwaukee Journal. -If we were to believe all the tectt mony before the commission of inquiry regarding the excellence of the arrangements made for the comfort of the soldiers in the field and in the camps, we should have to turn round and hold mass meetings to sing the praise* of Secretary Alger and denounce the thousands of soldiers whe persisted in dying from disease and starvation, aa ungrateful mischief ask* era.—Pros ideas* JmzmL L-Vf&i. v -A'"1 1 * ..

HANDY GARDEN MARKER. It latarei the Settles of Pleats et Reveler Interval* la Greenhouse Beeches. A convenient marker is shown in Fig. 1 that will insure the setting of plants at regular intervals in greenhouse benches. For convenience of explanation let us suppose the greenhouse bench to be 3y, feet wide and the interval between the plants to be seven inches. Select a piece of pine 42 inches lung, 3% inches wide and three-fourths of an inch thick. Bore a three-fourths of an inch hole 3^ inches from each end of the board and

Drive pegs three inches long into each of these six holes, add a handle and the tool is feady for use. • To operate, lay the tool across the bed aud press the pegs into the soil, making holes 1, 2, 3, etc. (Fig. 3). Lift and turn the tool at right angles to the row of holes just made, putting the first peg into hole A and pressing, as before, making holes R C, D, etc. Lift again, and with the first peg in hole B make row B B parallel to row A A. and so on. The writer has used this tool in transplanting thousands of lettuce plants and can testify to the neatness of the beds so laid off. as well as to the speed with which it can be used and the time saved thereby.—M. U Kains, in Farm and Fireside. CROPS IN ORCHARDS. Don't Plant Any That Mature Theii Seeds Darina the Growing Season of the Trees. What crop can we grow in a young orchard without injury to the treesl was asked in an exchange and was answered thus by A. B. Wood: If you have plenty of other ground on which to grow’ cultivated crops, don’t grow | anything but your trees and care for them just the same a5 though they j were a corn crop instead. Many are not so situated that they can devote the entire land to trees, but must grow something to pay for the use of the ground till the tree#? yield fruit. Then comes jhe question again: What can I grow. then, whigh will not be injurious to growth of my trees? In one-balf of my first peach orchard I set strawberries the first yeal*. and cu the other half 1 grew beans and swee: corn. Ihe trt *-s on the first half nearly died, though 1 cultivated and fcr- 1 tilized thoroughly, using unleaehed J ashes and rotted stable manure lib- ! e rally; the other half grew nearly double the size of the former in the first two years, besides the trees were | much healthier.

, This taught me not to grow any crop which matured its seed during the growing season of the trees. Seeing my mistake, though too late. I immediately plowed under the berryvines and devoted the ground entirely to the trees. The result was surprising, for the trees seemed to take new life and made more growth the next season than in both the former ones, though they hare never beeii able to catch up with those where the beans and corn grew. PRESERVING EGGS. The Sulphur Process Here Described Has Been Practiced with Considerable Success. Take a common starch box with a sliding lid. Put the eggs in the box, and upon an oyster shell or other suitable substance place a teaspoonful of sulphur. Set fire to the sulphur, and when the fumes begin to rise briskly shut up the lid, make the box tight, and do not disturb It for half an hour, i Now take out the eggs, pack in oats, and the job la done. If the oats or packing material be treated to the same process it will be all the better.* If a barrelful is to be preserved, place the eggs in a tight barrel two-thirds full, with no packing whatever. Fire a pound of sulphur upon a suitable substance on top of the eggs in the vacant space over them, shut up tightly. let stand an hour and then take out the eggs. As the gas is much heavier than air it will siuk to the bottom, or rather fill up the barrel with the fumes. In another barrel or box place some oats, and treat in the same way. Now pack the eggs in the oat a. head up the barrel, and turn the barrel every day to prevent falling of the yolks, using each end alternately, and they will keep a year, or, according to the efficiency of the operation, a shorter or longer time. It will be seen by the above that the process is a dry and neat one. and very inexpensive, sulphur being a very cheap article. The process was sold several years ago by certain parties as “Osone.” bnt is an old one. and the parties were exposed, not that the process was a fraud, bnt because they sold a pound of sulphur as oaone for two dollars.—Poultry Keeper. *

Wheat H m BukeL Some farmers are holding their wheat because they think the price will go to <2 a bushel. The price, however, may go down instead of up, and thus great losses will follow delay in selling. In all matters delays ire dangerous, particularly so in sickness.
