PROSPERITY COMING.
CANNOT GET HERE UNTIL THE
TARIFF BILL IS PASSED.
Some Kr|iltc« to ta-l’r«<M«iil Cleveland's
Mcr.nl Attack L’pnn the Krpubllri.ii
Policy Koine (loot! Logic from Our
ftrpnblleaii Kselisugrs.
(Special Washington Correspondent.)
Two great facts have been made very
clear by this week's discussion of the
great questions before the country.
One of these Is that while the Re
* publicans are pressing hard for an [
early passage of the tariff hill the Item- ■
t» rat«-Hre holding it back In order to
f create dice intent with the delay of
business activity. It Is apparent to
anybody who stops to think of It that
business cannot revive In the manufac
turing world or that business world
dependent upon manufacturing. in
spite of this fact, however, some mem
bers of Congress are receiving intima
tions from their districts and states
that this seed which the Democrats are
sowing among a certain class of peo
ple Is producing some dissatisfaction
i ltd criticism.
"Of course It Is absurd that such
complaint should he made and that
people should think It worth listening
to," said Chairman Dlngley, talking of
these criticisms. "It Is certainly un
reasonable to assume that business
activity In manufacturing linen could
revive pending action upon tariff
rate*,'’
“In It not a fact. Mr. IJIngley, that
the knowledge that a tariff ehange I*
In Immediate prospect prove* more de
proKHfng to the manufacturer than any
other condition?"
“Momentarily, ye*. I do not know
that the word depre**lng 1* Ju*t the
one, but certainly It doe* have the ef
fect of making It lmpo**lhle for him
to i..ake contract* even where he caB
get them and of making It difficult to
get contract* at all. Dealer* are un
willing to make contract* for future
delivery of good* during the pendency
of the tart/f hill because they do not
know what the rate* of fluty on Im
ported good* of the aame elatui will be.
Manufacturer* are unwilling to make
contract* fluring the nendenev of the
tariff Mil because they do not know
what they will have to compete with
in foreign goods nor do they know
what they will have to pay for the raw
material which they bring In from
abroad for use in manufacturing."
"So the present period is probably
the most difficult one for the manufac
turer to <Jo business, to say nothing of
the Impossibility of increasing business
or adding to the number of employes?"
"Yes. Then it ought to be remem
bered, too, that importers are rushing
goods into the country at the greatest
possible speed and that nearly a year's
supply of foreign goods will be in the
warehouses of the country by the time
the new law goes into effect in spite
of everything we can do to prevent it.
This means that the manufacturers
will not he able to resume activity to
any great extent for several months
yet. The people ought to understand
this. 1 have no doubt, that the new
law, when It gets at work, will bring
Increased activity In manufacturing
and thus produce prosperity In every
branch of Industry."
CAtlHfk on II
The other thing made clear by this
week’s discussion Is that the Repub
licans are not at all disturbed over
ex-President Cleveland's recent eriti
cism or trie raoi mat. tney arc promptly
carrying out their premia* r. as to u
prot< c'.lve tariff and international td
uietnllism. One feature of the gossip
resulting from this attack has been a
revival of the recollection of Mr. Cleve
land's own record in this particular.
"It was moie than seven months,”
said one of the old observers of na
tional politics here, “from the date of
Mr. Cleveland's own inauguration in
Ifcyl before his Congress met to con
sider any of the propositions to which
his party was pledged and within a
ftw days of eighteen months before
the leading promise of its platform was
fulfilled In the enactment of a new
tariff law. The business uncertainties,
the long months of suspense, in which
manufacturers ami dealers of ail
c lasses were unable to proceed intelli
gently with business undertakings, and
the stoppage of business and loss of
employment consequent thereto, make
the eighteen months of masterly Inac

“hot haste” their promises uf legisla

Interesting comment upon the effect of
the business troubles which existed
during the pendency of the promised
legislation during the year 1803. Many
of the most important railroads of the
country were placed in the hands of
receivers. The mileage of thirty rail
roads so treated in the first half of the
period between President Cleveland's
Inauguration and the completion of the
legislation promised in his platform
was 25.375 miles, or nearly one-sev
enth of ail the railroad lines of the
I'nited States, Their indebtedness was
$1,212,217,033.
The above record of prominent
events during the eighteen months in
which President Cleveland and his
party held the country in suspense
prior to the enactment of the legisla
tion promised by them will indlcite to
some extent whether he was Justified
In complaining of the "hot haste" with
which the Republican party Is carrying
out its own pledges on this occasion.”

The <'Hiia<liaii llugle Tariff.
Chicago Tlmes-Herald: The British
exultation over the new Canadian
tariff will not fool any of the protec
tionists In the Plfty-flft.li Congress, al
though it may provide some explosive
material for the popocrats In the sen
ate who are impressed with the neces
sity of making some kind of an assault
on the Itingiey bill.
In estimating the possible effect of
the new Canadian tariff on our trade
with Canada It must not be forgotten
that geographical conditions cannot be
entirely obliterated by the Dominion
government., even though the desire
to promote the commercial and Indus
trial Interests of the great, empire may
he dominant, among the Canadian Iso
lde. The United Stale* provide* witch
an accessible and attractive market
that Canadians cannot he entirely di
verted from it hy the pro-British tariff
policy Jiihi Inaugurated. Our market
I* wo much more valuable to the Cana
dian* than the Canadian market I* to
u* that the member* of Congress will
he guilty of grave disloyalty to do
mestic Interest* if they allow this Do
minion menace to deter them from put
ting a good tariff on lumber, coal and
the cereals.
The new Canadian tariff hill discrim
inates In favor of British goods hy
schedules intended to apply to Impor'w
from Great Britain alone. The prefer
ence amounts to 12*^ per cent, as
against the Imports from other coun
tries. and will continue In fore- until
July, 1 HUH, after which the preference
will he increased to one-fourth.
The motive behind this double sched
ule is very obvious. It is projected it
this time a* a threat to the tariff
makers in the Fifty-fifth Coitgre**.
Unless Canadian goods are admitted to
our markets under the Condition*
which prevail under the WHson-Gor
tnan law the Canadians propose to buy
all the goods which they do not make
themselves In Great Britain.
Hut the instinct of commercial ag
grandizement is stronger with the
Canadians than loyalty to the crown.
The Canadians are willing to he gov
erned hy Great Britain. It Is one of
the best government* on earth. Bui
the Canadians are certain to seek the
market where they ran buy to the best
advantage, and that market is In the
United States.
>1:11111 ur* Our Own Sugar.
The Interest in the beet sugar indus
try grows apace, secretary wuson,
who reverted the policy of his Demo
cratic predecessors and set about en
couraging the production of the sugar
beet, finds the demand for sugar beet
seed and beet sugar information some
| thiug enormous and coming from every
' part of the country. He believes that
j this nation will, within two years, lie
manufacturing all its own sugar and

Nnhooy ever h^nre inspected Mr
Cleveland of being a humorist. Cpo*
no other theory, however. It is possible
to explain his assertion made in his
New York speech the other night that
his party "defends the humble toiler
against oppressive exactions in his
home and invites him to the utmost
enjoyment of the fruits of industry,
economy and thrift." The experience
of the "humble toller" since Mr. Cleve

hardly enable him to agree with that
gentleman In this statement. Ex

Had the developments of the six
months following last November's elec
tion occurred In the six months prior to
that event, the cause of silver would
have received far less attention nr sup

those few months gone to the gold
standard, while several other nations
have taken steps In that direction. I
China has indicated a desire to have
her customs duties at the treaty ports
placed on a gold basis, as they sub

The gold Democrats and the silver

platitudes and short on performances,"
and that they reach their "maximum

is evidently going to differ very ma

The first few weeks of his administra
tion resulted In the release from the
Cuban prisons of practically every Am

has been followed by the quiet depar

prevent control there by the Japanese

MATTERS OF INTEREST TO
AGRICULTURISTS.
Some lTp-to-«lat«* flint* About Cultiva
tion of the Soil and Yield* Thereof
— Horticulture, Viticulture and f lori
culture.
T IS hard to predict
bow a specie* will
act. The behavior
of a species In a
new country Is frc
qu e n 11 y different
from that in its nu
tlve locality. Being
without Its natura
ohecks.lt will some
times Increase Inor
dlnately, as did the ,
leery* purchasl in California. The San
Jose scale, so destructive In the United
Slates, attracts so little attention j
wherever It originally came from, that
we do not to this day know with any
certainty Its original habitat. Species
< losely allied to the San Jose scale,
natives of the United States, arc not
neurly so destructive. The red scale of
the orange, Aspldlotus aurantll, in Ja
maica never Infests citrus fruits, hut
occurs on llgnum-vltae and palms; how
different are its habits In California!
In Japan there Is u scale almost ex
actly Identical with the San Jose scale,
which Infests citrus trees, which the
real Han Jose scale never does In Amer
ica. Therefore, In view of such facts as
these, we can fairly say that ve never
know what we are In for. when we In
troduce a new scale. A traveler, bring
ing a little ornamental plant In a pot,
may unwittingly ruin a great horti
cultural Industry. Most of the worst
valPs are general feeders, and are lia
ble to spread from garden or even hot
house plants to orchards.
Climatic harriers cannot, always he
trusted. The rapid spread of some
scale Inserts shows that ‘hey can en
dure great differences of climate. While
the climatic harriers to the spread of
some species are real and Important,
it win not no to trim too mucn u> iu-m
It Is probable that the very rapid re
production of coceldae enables them to
quickly adapt themselves to changes of
climate, through the survival of tbe At
test. Thus If there are a million scales
In an orchard which Is touched by frost,
If only one gravid female survives It
will suffice to eventually restock the
orchard, and with a comparatively
frost-proof race. Be this as It may. tl e
peach scale, Dlaspis amygdali, flourish
es equally at Washington, D. C„ and in
tlie tropics; and many others could be
cited which endure great differences
of climate In different parts of their
range.
It will now he useful to consider tbe
countries from which we are liable to
be Infested. From Europe we may ex
pect many pests of shade trees and de
ciduous fruit trees especially. For ex
ample, we have already received the
maple Phenacoccus, the elm Gosay
paria, tbe New York plum scale (so
called), the Leeanium bitubcrculatum,
etc. It must also be remembered that
semi-tropical scales may and unques
tionably do, spread by way of Europ
ean hot-houses; in this way, for ex
ample, Orthezla Insignia, a destructive
West Indian species, was undoubtedly
Introduced Into Ceylon.
From the West Indies and Mexico
countries we may expect especially
pests of citrus fruits, of cotton, sugar
cane, etc.; also tbe peach scale, Dlaspis
amygdali, which has already reached
this country. A further exploration of
Mexico and most of the West Indian
Islands is urgently needed, to determine
the kinds of Insect pests there occur
ring. From Japan, perhaps, we stand
in most danger. The climatic condi
tions permit the growth of the same
species of fruit trees as are grown in
America, and of late Japanese varieties
have become very popular, and have
bee n imported In quantity. The peach
scale, Dlaspis amygdali, Is common in
Japan, and there are many other in
jurious species. Unfortunately, our
knowledge of Japanese scale insects is
yet in Its Infancy, and someoue ought
to be sent there for a year to study the
subject on the spot. Some Injurious
species may also come from Australia,
New Zealand, the Sandwich islands,
and in fact nny place whence plants
are brought. Especial care should be
taken to prevent the Introduction of
Asterolecanium pustuslans from the
Sandwich Islands; It already exist* in
Florida, and Is common also In tbe
West Indies. It especially Infests ole

Average Canada ashes contain about 1

In such cases the potash is seldom

.lit Milll‘1
The Massachusetts Agricultural Ex
perlrnent Station has recently Intro
duced three new varieties of millets
In in Japan. Among them is a variety
. 1 — .A —. If,. .. i.... ... f <enu f!ul.
li, which, while It differs In Its habit*
of growth, Is botanically Identical
with the common barn-yurd grass.
The variety from Japan has been
grown for a few years at the Massa
chusetts Station. Professor Brooks ol
that Btution is very enthusiastic about
It und recommends It as a fodder crop
either for feeding green or for the silo.
As a forage plant It may yield ten or
twelve tons of fodder per ucre, and
when thinly sown In rows about a foot
apart a yield of fifty to ninety bushels
of seed may be obtained. Ordinary
l.arnyurd grass Is a coarse annual,
with stems two to four feet lu length,
appearing In mid-summer, in low,
somewhat damp places or on cultivat
ed grounds. The ordinary variety It
a very troublesome weed. Professor
Brooks says: "This Japanese variety
of the species has not become a weed
here, however, although the seed doe*
not 'lose all vitality during the win
ter. Although It Is possible that It
n !ght under some circumstances be
come troublesome, It Is hardly liable to
prove more so than clover or winter
wheat, for instance.” This plant Is be
ing quite extensively advertised by
: < edsmen under the numc of Japanese
Millet, or Its scientific name, Panleuin
Crus Galll. While this may prove to
be a valuable acquisition to our fod
der plants and not become a means
of spreading a bad weed, the Experi
ment Station would recommend the
farmers of Maine to be cautious about
purchasing seed of this new plant. Cer
tainly the seed of Panleuin Crus Galll
should be bought only of reliable deal
ers, who will be sure to furnish the
seed of the Japanese variety. The mis
chief that would be wrought, by sowing
seed of ordinary barnyard grass is
self-evident. Chas. 1). Woods,

Oiling Hie liarncM.
Harness will last much longer arnl
look much better if kept well oiled, and
will not get so stiff after being exposed
to a day's rain, says Journal of Agri
culture. During the spring it is dif
ficult to keep harness from getting wet
and It will pay well before the season’s
work begins to see that it is thoroughly
oiled. In doing the work, the harness
should he taken apart, washed clean,
using warm water and castlle soap, and
then wiped dry, when the oil should bt
applied. If so clean that washing is not
needed, it will be better to wipe off with

ter. It is best to take barnesa all
apart, in order to get at all of the parts
and oil thoroughly. Good harness oil
can be purchased all ready for use, or
neatafoot oil, with a little lamp black
will he found good. If the harness has
not lteeti oiled for some time and Is
hard and dry, it will be best to go ovei
thtni twice, finishing all up, and then
commencing with the first piece und
going over again. After every part hat
been thoroughly oiled, it should all b<
hung up over a frame of some kind
and allowed to dry. It should not Ik
hung In the sun or where the wind
strikes, as It will dry too rapidly. The
oil should have plentv of time to soak
in. Like most other work on the farm
if undertaken it will pay to do well.
Native Shrubs.—1 would like to say
a good word for some native shrubs.
