Milk an Kraal lion.
It hulmn found by experiment that
various animal and vegetable oil* can
be mixed with water and broken up
into minute globules of fat, quite
evenly distributed through the water,
forming true emulsions, says an 'insti
tute speaker. Thus liquids ean be
made closely resembling milk and
which act like milk. For a time, and
while greatly moved, the emulsion Is
preserved. If left at rest, gravity acts
to bring the fats into a mass at the
top like cream. And by churning, the
fate can be gathered into a kind of
butter. In these and other ways, such
artificial milks or emulsions act so
very like true milk that, reasoning
by analogy, there is a strong argu
ment that cow’s milk Is simply an
emulsion. If this is true, there is one
important clue obtained to churning
aright If there are no sacs to rupture
or break, there is no need of the
violent beating which was given milk
and cream, in former days to compel
the butter to‘'come.” Milk being a
simple emulsion, and acting like other
emulsions made by experimenters, all
it needs is gentle agitation, under fav
orable conditions, to cause the fats to
collect and form butter.
Leaves for Feed.
Thk recent experiments in Germany
showing a high nutritive value in
leaves of trees is being further em
phasized by investigations by the
French department of agriculture
which is seeking to transform twigs
and loaves into food for stock. There
Is nothing new, however, in all of this
except the method of approach, as the
Romans S,000 years ago fed their work
oxen on leaves and twigs. The ques
tion is one of economy. Shall we find
a crap of leaves as economical as a crop
of grass? There is but one answer to
the question, where grass can be ob
tained. The experiments mentioned
have been undertaken in Europe be
cause it was a question largely of kill
ing the cattle or feeding them on
leaves and twigs, on account of the
widespread failure of the grasp crop.
A Cargo of Onions—People who had
occasion to go down to the Delaware
river front last, evening in the neigh
borhood of Dock street, encountered,
as they approached the wharf, the
pungent odor of onions to a marked
degree. It was as though a ten-acre
lot with onions laid only an inch apart
was making itself heard from. In
vestigation showed that the smell
came from the schooner Eva May,
which has on board a whole cargo of
onions—about 300 tons of them—
which she brought from Bermuda.
The captain never carried that kind
of freight before, and said it was
rather hard on his olfactory nerves
just at first. However, he and his
crew are used to the odor, and don’t
mind it One advantage they have,
which is that no one on board suffers
from insomnia. The officers and
sailors sleep like tops when off duty,
and have to be kept moving to make
them Btay awake when on watch. This
is due to the soporific effect of the
onion smell, and any one who can't
sleep and would like to, can gratify
his desire by taking a stroll down to

Cheap Kid Gloves.—The cheapest
kid gloves in trade are made from the
skins of kids and lambs that are born
dead. The reason they wear out so
quickly and tear so easily is because
they have no elasticity. These dead
skins are called schmachen. kid and
the gloves retail at $1“ or less. To a
judge of gloves the difference between
a schmachen and a kid is as plain
as the difference between a gingham
and a linen shirt. Some of the heavy
gloves sold for kid are made pf colt
skin. _
Use and Abuse of Gloves.—Whan
putting gloves on begin by buttoning
the Becond button; then, when but
toned to the top, you can easily fasten
the first button without tearing the
kid. Never remove the gloves by
puUing the fingers, but by drawing
the part covering the wrist over the
hand and leave them thus wrong side
out for some time before turning them
to their proper shape. Always lay
gloves lengthwise—never roll them.

REPUBLICAN DOCTRINE
Revenue Dutlaa—La* Bales Do Not Pro
duce Raven ue.
Mr. Voorheca challenged the atten
tion of the senate to the seeming para
dox that the reduction of taxation by
the Wilson bill would produce an in
crease in the revenues. There is but
one way in which this seeming paradox
can be resolved, and that is that the
proportion of importations must in
crease beyond the proportion of'reduced
duties. Thus, if un average of customs
duties of 35 per cent produces a reve
nue of 8300,000.1)00 on an importation
of 8800,000, then if the tax is reduced to
an average of 30 per cent the importa
tion must be increased to 81.000.000,000.
llut as, under the Wilson bill, more
than half our importations are on the
free list, this increase of importations
to increase revenue cannot be on such
artieles as are not raised id the United
States, nor such as are called “raw ma
terial,” for these are free of duties.
The 8300,000,000 increase of importa
tions must be of manufactured goods,
and if wo import 8300,000.000 more of
foreign manufactures we shall dimin
ish. our own productions in a like
amount. This will close our own fac
tories and discharge our own laborers
now producing these goods at home.
This paradox is not difficult to under
stand, nor is it new in our financial his
tory. The war of 1813 cut us off from
foreign importations, and greatly stim
ulated our own importations; but with
peace and the removal of discriminat
ing duties our importations rose from
830,000,000 in 1814 to 8150,000,000. The
result was that American workmen had
the benefit of cheap markets, and in
return were turned out of employment.
England could sell us hardware, cloth
ing and other goods cheaper than we
could make them, and we had to quit.
She did not buy our hay, potatoes, but
ler, or eggs, and but very little of our
grain and meat; nor did she hire our
workmen, or run our mines, factories,
or workshops. Instead of our work
men buying the produce of our farm
ers they had to till the soil themselves,
thus increasing the amount of farm
products, while diminishing the market
for them. In consequence came a sea
son of hard times that it required years
to overcome, and which was not over
come until there was a re-charter of
the national bank and the re-enactment
of a protective tariff. It was of this
deplorable result of Mr. Voorhees’ par
adox that Andrew Jackson wrote to
Doctor Coleman:
*» nere nas the American farmer a
market for his surplus products. Ex
cept for cotton he has neither a foreign
nor a home market. Does this not
clearly prove, where there is no market
at home or abroad, that there is too
much labor employed in agriculture,
and that the channels of labor should
be multiplied? Common sense points
out the remedy. Draw from agricul
ture the superabundant labor. Employ
it in mechanism and manufactures,
thereby creating a home market for
your breadstuffs and distributing labor
to the most profitable account, and
benefits will ensue to the country. *
* * In short, we have been too long
subject to the policy of British mer
chants. It is true that we become a
little more American, and, instead of
feeding the paupers and laborers of
Europe, feed our own; or else in a short
time, by continuing our present policy,
we shall be paupers ourselves.”
How like a modern protectionist re
publican Old Hickory did talk.
A Tariff for the New State*.
The tariff reformer claims that
we ■ have reached the acme of in
dustrial development, whereby wo are
able to compete with the world. Is
this true? More than two-thirds of our
public domain has not been occupied by
absolute settlers to exceed forty years;
fourteen great states, stretching from
the Dakotas and Washington on the
north and west to Wyoming on the
south, and from the Pacific to the
shores of the Mississippi on the east,
covering an empire greater than all
Europe—a large portion of this terri
tory is not ten years old in statehood.
It took a hundred years lor Connecti
cut and Pennsylvania to reach their
present perfected system of diversified
industry, and yet the most sanguine
friends of tariff reform are willing to
concede a duty on coal and iron for
Pennsylvania and a reasonably high
duty on woolens for Connecticut. If a
just reason, therefore, exists for these
thjDgs, then let us point you to that
new domain just entered by the pio
neer, where for a thousand miles a fac
tory is unknown and a shop has not
been erected—a vast wilderness to be
conquered by the agriculturist, where
busy industry yet must find a way to
establish itself. How then, we ask,
have we reached the acme of industrial
enterprise when more than half of our
great national domain is but in the in
fancy of statehood. We cannot for
bear saying to the gentlemen who have
stood for a hundred years for the doc
trine of state sovereignty and state
rights, as we hold before you in the
great family of states these new mem
bers of our great national union, how
can you deny to them the advantages
so long enjoyed by the older states?
Levying Blackmail.
Tammany, for the purpose of carry
ing out its measures, levies blackmail
on the illegitimate business of 2iew
York City and grows rich thereby, the
money whereof is used to perpetuate
itself in power. The democratic party
in power in both branches of the gov
ernment levies blackmail on the busi
ness of the country and grows rich by
exempting trusts for its special favor
ites—the whisky trust with a gift of
864,000,000. the sugar trust with a gift
of an indefinite amount, perhaps more
than 860,000,000, while a hundred thous
and villages and cities are wrapped in
mourning because of the idleness of
their shops and their mills
Truly Tammany and democracy are
great examples to be studied in the
school of polical economy.
From the best estimates possible at
this time, according to the sugar sched
ule as it now stands in the senate
amendments to the Wilson bill, a ton
of sugar will produce $27.44 of duty, or
the total amount exported about $42,
000,000 annually. This is made up of
the 40 per cent ad valorem duty, of the
one-eighth and the one-tenth which are
added under certain conditions. If the
i senate schedule should be adopted and
I become a law we may expect in the
! coming year to pay $42,000,000 more
| for our sugar than was paid in the past
year. Until other figures are made
these will answer the purpose of gip
I tag a forecast of what is to come.
Th« Plomiclal Showing of the Present Ad*
ministration l>oe« Not Compare
Favorably with Prior Years.
Since the close of the war of the rc*
hellion the republican party was able
to make steady progress with the re
duction of the national debt, and main
tain the credit of the government
through all the years of its history.
When the democrats came into power
in 1893 they were confronted with
about the same problem with which
the republicans had had to contend for
years, but it is a lamentable fact that
for the first time since 180.’) there is a
deficit or a deficiency in the public rev
enues. The excess of revenue over ex
penditures from 1874 to 1894, twenty
years, varied largely, showing in 1874
82.325.000, the lowest point ever reached
until the fiscal year closed. The high
est point ever reached in the surplus or
excess was in 1882. when it was $145,
500.000. The four years of Harrison's
administration show excesses as fol
lows:

187.5. 13,r,00,000
1876 . X9,0 0,000
1877 . 30,0 ;0,0u0
Mr. Cleveland starts, however, with
a deficit of $71,500,000 for his first year.
No one is able to tell what the second
year may produce. The indications
however, point to disaster.
The customs receipts, are continually
decreasing, as also are the internal rev
enue receipts, and until some increase
in these sources of revenue is found a
deficit is sure to continue in the Treas
urer’s account. It is proper to state
that the expenditures for the fiscal year
just closed were $10,800,000 less than
the expenditures for the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1803, which if added to the
deficit would raise the deficit, when
truly considered, to more than $88,000,
000.
Cleveland VI. Harrison—Who Served the
People Best ?
The work of destroying industries and
protecting trusts has been transferred
to the conference committeee of the
two Houses of congress. Tho public
await their action with great concern.
If a more equitable settlement cannot
be reached, than that reached by the
senate, we are destined to a period of
great depression.
The total debt on July 1, 1894, was
8899.313,381, against 8838,069,470 on
July 1, 1893, being an increase during
the year of more than 860,000,000. How
does this compare with Sir. Harrison's
administration for the first year of his
administration? Comparsons enable
people better to understand public
affairs than assertions. In justifica
tion of the truth, Mr. Cleveland admin
istered the same laws that Mr. Harri
son administered. An opportunity for
the collection' of the same amount of
revenue was provided. Avenues were
open for the transaction of an equal
amount of business, and whatever
failure Mr. Cleveland's administration
is charged with, it cannot be attributed
to the laws on the statute books, for
under these same laws Mr. Harrison
gave the country a satisfactory and
prosperous administration.

Next Winter
Read the old proverb, “The ants are
a people not strong, yet they prepare
their meat in the summer season.”
Would it not be wise for some of the
men who have families dependent upon
them for food and raiment, to look well
to the present opportunity for next
winter’s supply? Can the men who
now refuse to work in the summer sea
son justly claim charity next winter if
pinching times should come? The
broad mantle of charity is always
thrown around the unfortunate in times
of great suffering, but is it right that
those who will not labor when work is
offered, should be fed from the public
treasury, supported by private funds
in a day of greater disaster? The unem
ployed who have voluntarily left their
places to become idlers in the great
multitude who must depend upon char
ity, had better read this old proverb
carefully.
