And this was done , too , in the face of strenuous opposition from those 4 protection of $25 a ton and $50 where it was hackled. The hemp of our farmers was never made "free" until the passage of the Gorman tariff act of August 27 , 1891. Flax came into our tariff laws first in 1528 , being made dutiable at $25 , and in 1830 at $ OO per ton. It was placed on the free list from 1832 to 1812 , when it was again made dutiable at $20. It was given 15 per cent protection in 18'16 , made "free" again in 1557 , given $15 a ton in 1801 , and $20 Ah 1870 , and it had $22.40 under the McKinley lawthe Mills and the Wilson bills mailing it free , as does the present Gorman law , Jute was not placed upon our tariff laws until 1342 , and then it was given $25 per ton of protection , given 25 per cent. in 1840 alfd 19 per cent. in 1857 , raised to $10 per ton in 1801 , made $15 in 1862 , and kept there until made free In the McKinley act-which was a mistake - take , and a distinction made toward an agricultural product that needs encouragement - agement Now , what was the effect of the McKinley law on hemp ? In 1890 we imported 10,842 tons ; in 1893 we imported only 4,239 tons. Foreign hemp cos [ us about one-third in 1893 what it ( lid in 1890. For seven years prior to , but including 1890 , our average - age imports of hemp were valued at $1,546,710. In 1893 the value was $637- 372. 372.This This tends to prove that we were t PROTECTION FOR FARMERS. S 1I 7. . ' . ' . . , f' .I A : e' ; c : : _ : ; 1 1. ' ; )1..F'.t' .

From time to time this was increased until he duty was provided to reach $60 par tors- The tariff under the Walker bill 1846 was 30 per cent. and in 1857 was 24 per cent. The Mills bill made rinmp "free , " as the Wilson bill did , -lisle the McKinley act gave hemp a ' . : 7r gaining on our supply for home con- sumption. The duty on hemp was originally intended to aid Kentucky and some of the northwestern states , and it is entirely without the line of our policy toward agriculture to abolish - ish the duty , especially as our revenue from it has averaged over $209,000 per annum for the past ten years. It is strange that the policy of lend- jug encouragement to hemp production ! should suddenly be found'vvru ; after protecting it since 1739 , at which time Messrs. Moore. Scott , White and Burle all spoke for a duty on hemp as an agricultural product. When the "frontier defense" bill was before congress - gress in 1792. Mr. Madison and others urged , on behalf of the agricultural in- ' tcrest , in favor of a higher duty on hemp , and it was agreed to. Thcee has never been a time when the duty on hemp bore with greater hardship en the country than when complained of ' by New England and her navigation interests , but no one there tailed it "robbery. " When the senate had under consideration - eration the duty on hemp in the tariff bill of 1S24. a motion to strike out the two cents a pound duty was antagonized - nized in a powerful speech by Mr. Jolhnsolh of Kentucky-a Jackson democrat-who subsequently ran for vice-president on the danlocratic ticket. Mr. Van Buren ( democrat , 1 also opposed the motion. He said he "was in favor of increasing the duty on hemp with a view of affording pro- tecticll to its cultivation in this cairn- try. " ( Annals of congress , 13th , 1st ; page 601. ) ' Mr. Talbot of Kentucky claimed that it had'always been our policy to aid cotton , sugar and tobacco as agrlcul- tural products , and hemp was also entitled - } titled to encouragement for the same reason. Mr. Eaton ( democrat ) contended - tended "for such a degree of protection on hemp as would encourage its domestic - tic growth without amounting to a pro- hibiticn. He thought the only question - tion in relation to the bill was , whether we were willing to rely upon foreign nations for the necessaries of life or whether we were to produce them for ourselves. " ' ( Annals of congress , 18th , 1st , page 611. ) Mr. Dickerson ( democrat ) said : "He had no doubt that it was to the interest of the country , to encourage the growth of hemp , and every article which could . 1 be produced with ease in our own country - try and by our own people ought to be encouraged.

The reason is well known. By an unnatural freak the free-traders were elected to congressional - sional control. They at once proceeded to threaten the country with absolute ruin , very effectively diatributing their object lessons. Factory after factory was close-I , hand after hand was turned idle upOn the streets , but few of them , comparatively - tively , with any financial resources or means of sustenance. Those were not days for replenishing wardrobes. Quite the contrary , { They were leisure days , days of enforced idleness when there was ample time and abundant opportunity to overhaul the wardrobe. , Garments that had been thrown away in garret or cellar were brought back for further use. Such were mended that could be mended , while others served for the construction of Cleveland - land badges. i Those were not the days for buying new clothes. They were the days of enforced economy , the days of rags and tatters , owing to the open threat for absolute free trade for the . United States. Those mending days , however - ever , have partly passed away with the passage of a partly protective tariff. The free-traders were prevented from carrying out their wild schemes and the people indorsed this restriction in the fall of 1894 , just as soon as they had a chance to place themselves on record at the polls. Business mended at once and our factories have since been busy in clothing the naked- those who had been compelled to patch up their rags and tatters and make Cicveland badges , but who are now replenishing plenishing their wardrobe just as quickly as they earn money enough to pay for new clothes. iewr re or tits Enomy. The Reform Club or the Tariff Reform - form Club , more properly the Free Trade Club , of Now boric , has for years fought American interests and American prosperity by the assistance of the importing classes. Recently this organization has devoted considerable - able effort to the currency question , and some of the matter issued has found its way into protection republican - an newspapers. With an entering wedge to the columns of republican newspapers , this free-trade organization - tion has naturally gone back to the advocacy - vocacy of the "policy of destruction"- namely , free-trade.

Sand Key. Vacation is becoming tiresome to Anna , who this morning got out liei I school books and looked through them for old times' sake. When she canlc to her geography silo opened it at the map of the Southern States , and glancing - ing down the page she read out the question : "What is the southermost point cf the republic ? " " 0 , I know that , " she answered , "it's' ' Key West. " "What's that ? " called out her uncle , who is captain of a vessel that is 011- gaged in coastwise trade in the Gulf of Mexico. "I said , " responded Anna , "that Key Virest is the southermost point of the United States. " "But it ain't , " replied lhcr uncle , whose geography , we may hope , is better - ter than his grammar. "It isn't ? " queried Anna. "No , it ain t , " returned her uncle , "er I don't know a cocoanut from a ba- nana. " "What is , then ? " "Well , you come with pie on the nest trip of the Florida Belle' an' of I don't show you Sand Key , eight miles sou'west o' Key West , then I'll eat it , lighthouse an' all. " Anna , uncle is right. Some years ago the Gulf Stream piled up a little heap of sand in the ocean. The government soon discovered the barren islet , named' it Sand Key , built a lighthouse upon : it , and tcok possession of it as the' most southerly end of the country. llcr Ring or ( : old. Laura received a gold ring on her oirthday from her father , who told her that the jeweler had said that it was eighteen carats fine. "What does eighteen carrots fine mean ? " she asked. "Not carrots , but carats , " he replied. "A carat is a term used by goldsmiths to the of mean one-twenty-fourth part the weight , so your ring has eighteen twenty-fourth parts gold. It is , therefore - fore , three-fourths pure gold. " "And what are the other six twenty- fourths ? " "Three are silver ; + nd three are cop- per. per."Why "Why did you not buy me one all gold ? " "Because pure gold is too soft for use. It would wear away. Even gold eighteen carats fine is not sufficiently' ' hard to stand constant rubbing.n.

So my watch has lost nearly all the engraving on it in the twenty-three years that I have been pulling , it out of my pocket a dozen ; times a day , " "Vtire11 , I am glad now you did not I buy me a ring of pure gold , " said Laura "because I "ia n to keep tLhs forever , and I am glad that I have ! learned the meaning of carat , " Appics as ] : rain Food. A New York physician says : 'The apple is an excellent brain food because - cause it contains more phosphoric acid j , in easily digestible shape than any other vegetable known. It excites tae action of the liver , promotes sound and healthful sleep , and thoroughly disinfects - fects the mouth. This is not all. i The apple agglutinates the surplus acids of the stomach , helps the kidney secretions , and prevent : cal- .Iulus growths , while it obviates viates indigestion , and is one of the best preventives known of diseases of the throat. " If all this be true , and its persistent reiteration certainly ar . .ues large faith , the knowledge cannot b- too widely disseminated. A Mother's Inilneace , ! Dr. Theodore L. CuyIer , one of the grandest preachers of the age , bears : testimcny' to his mother's influence' ' over him as hollows : "During my infancy she dedicated me'to the Christian ministry , and kept I ' that steadily before her own eye and mine. I cannot now fix the date of my I , conversion ; it was her constant Influence - fluenco that led me gradually along , and I grew into a religious life under her potent training , and by the power , of the Holy Spirit w rking through her untiring agency. 1 all mothers were like her , the 'church in the house' would be one of the best feeders of the church in the public s nctuary. " May these words sink deep into the heart of every mother who reads them , that she may be the agent of the Holy I Spirit in bringing up her child. It has been truly said that "the first seven years of a child's life almost invariably determine its destiny. " Fco(1 011(1 .Morals. ' The intimate relation between one's diet and the moral nature is thus set forth by a writer in the New England Kitchen Magazine : How matter can be transmuted into soul even a woman's curiosity has never been able to dis- cover. But we do know that angelic traits are not evolved from a diet of pork and soggy potatoes , nor has it been found that tea and sauerkraut tend to manly dignity and valor. An outraged stomach in any rank is forerunner - runner of nettle or porcupne traits. The ministry of diet in the worst of character building is therefore one of the most important studies a woman can undertake. The luxurious kitchens - ens of the well-to-do , pampering physical - sical appetites to excess , weaken soul faculties and strengthen animal pro- pensities. Weli-authenticated statistics - tics reveal the startling fact that sins of impurity are vastly more frequent among the luairiously fed. Drunkenness - ness is quite as much a disease of ill feeding. Many a sin of file sonl is the revenge of an outrageously ill-nour- ished frame. Speeding the gospel of good cookery , will hasten the triumph of the gospel of redeeming love. Rater as a .Medicine. Some exceaent advice concerning water drinking is given by an exchange - change thus : The human body is constantly undergoing - dergoing tissue changes. Worn-out particles are cast aside and eliminated from the system , while the new are ever being formed , from the inception of life to its close. Water has tile power of increasing these tissue changes , which multiply the waste products ; but at the same time they are renewed by its agency , giving rise to increased appetite , which in turn provides fresh nutriment. People accustomed to rise in the morning weak and languid will find the cause in the imperfect secretion of wastes , which many times may be remedied by drinking a tumberful of water before retiring. This very materially assists in the process dur- iug the night , and leaves the tissue fresh and strong. Ilettven 011 ] rang. A well-known priest had preaciieli a seamen on the joys of heaven. A wealthy member of his church nhet , him the next day , and said : "Doctor , you told us a great many grand and beautiful things about heaven yesterday - day , but you didn't tell us where it is. " "Ally" said the father , "I am glad of the opportunity of doing so this morn- ing. I have just come from the lull tap yonder. In that cottage there is a poor member of our church. She is sick in bed with fever. Her two little children are sick in the other bed , and she has not got a bit of coal nor a stick of wood , nor flour nor sugar , ncr any bread. Now , if you will go down town and buy $50 worth of things-nice provisions , fuel , etc. , and send them to her , and then go and say , 'My friend , I have brought you these provisions in the name of God ; you will see a glimpse of heaven before - fore you leave that little dwelling. " Livin ; in Sunshine. I think the superb health of my family - ily is , to a great e : tent , due to the habit we have of almost living in the sunshine , writes a well-known physi- clan. Every bright day all the shutters arc open , and the entire house gets the benefit of the sunlight. It drives away dampness , mould and microbes , and puts us all in goad humor and health. I cannot imagine good sanitary cortli- tions and darkness. Even my cellar is as light as I can possibly make it , and whatever fruit and delicacies need i to be shut away from the light I put' ' in close cupboards or covered boxes. I I have sheets of canvas that can be thrown over them before they are p'lt away , and always take pains to so arrange range my stores that nothing will be ! injured by an abundance of light. Peo- ' pie who live 111 badly-lighted apart- merits have little color and less health. ' Tit : Proper 'Yay to Sit. Hill's ' Journal of Health declares ; that a proper sitting position requires that the spine shall be kept straight , and that the support needed for te upper part'shall be felt in the right place. Therefore , sit as far back as possible in the chair , so that the lower end of the spine shall be braced against the back of the seat. if this back is straight , the shoulders will also rest against it ; if not , they wilt have no point of support , and it will be found that they do not need it. This position makes no strain upon the ligaments of the spine. It allows a proper position of the shoulders , consequently of the lungs , stomach , and every other organ of the body. The work : s carried on naturally , and comfortably , as is also the circulation of the blood , which , in a wrong position , is seriously affected.
