That was a terse statement of one of the probable effect* of the trust systSm which is being built up under republi can protective legislation. It Is an evil that is waxing strong and which will continue to wax stronger so long as the republican party rules. The overthrow of that party IB necessary to save the country from a government by trusts for the benefit of trusts. The overthrow of that party is neces sary to preserve the good name of* this country which is now being polluted by the adoption of European standards, deserting American principles of hu man liberty and carrying on a war of conquest at the beck of greedy syndi cates at home and Belflsh i,Jlf,,ipipgU[|:|n(^f8Bl|p|i^ foreign in fluences.—Waterloo Tribune. Attorney General Griggs protests that it is impossible for him to sup press the trusts because the law can not be made to reach them. Well, let UB assume for the sake of argument that it Is. If the govern ment cannot suppress the trusts, at least it is not obliged to encourage, protect and subsidize them, IB it? asks the New York Journal. Why should we give the 87,000,000 borax trust the power to tax Ameri can consumers 5 cents a pound on borax? Could not the $30,000,000 knit goodB company and the 860,000,000 print cloth pool get along without duties of 50 per cent and upward on the things that people must wear? Would it not be possible for the United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry company, capital 830,000,000, tombke a living without 89 a ton pro tection? Is the 830,000,0(l0 National Lead com pany in dire need of the proceeds of a tax of a cent and a half a pound on lead? Could not the 845,000,000 western lumber pool destroy our forests fast enough without the stimulus of a duty of $8 per thousand feet on pine boards Do the consumers of sugar feel morallv bound to pay tariff taxes of $20,000,000 a year to the sugar trust and its allies, with their capital of 8188,000,000? Are the various steel trusts, total capitalization 8367,650,000, scpoor that they must have outdoor relief in the form of duties of from 86.72 per ton upward on steel and its products? Isnotthei 50,000,000 American Tin Plate company a sufficiently robust in fant by this time to be able to dis penae with its pap of IK cents a pound on tin plate? Put every article controlled by trust on the free list. That is a simple, practicable policy. It neqds no litigation. Its execution would not depend on the zeal and good faith of prosecuting officers and courts. "But that would mean free trade,1 somebody objects. "The trusts con trol everything now, and if their pro ducts are-put on the free list there will be no tariff left." Well what of it? If trusts are the only beneficiaries of the tariff we can certainly dispense with it as far protection is concerned. As to reve nue^ we.«an get that from a graduated lQCom* tax.

At the term of the Supreme court now being held at l)ea Moines, ninety onp students will be examined for ad mission to the bar.

The manner in which the water Is in troduced Into the churn Is responsible for the large mottles, or seeming lumps of white butter throughout the mass.1 In the mafority of the creathertfsl throughout the country the water-^aj pumped dlrecUy into the churn, either' through a hose or a pipe. Now, when the water Btrikes the butter these granules become hard and solid like in the first case, only that these hard granules are not broken down at all, and the large mottles are the result. The wash water should be tempered to within two or three degrees of tire churn temperature.—N. V. Produce ex change. Farms Too Big for the Farmer Much of the success of the farmer de pends in the relationship between the farmer and his farm. Some men can manage an eighty acre farm successful ly, but break down when it comeB to 160 acres. Others can manage a quarter but cannot manage a half section. A team must alwayB have greater power than the load which it is required to draw. There should always be a re serve power available when it comes to the hill or the mud hole. The farmer must always be bigger than his farm the editor must always be larger than his paper the business man, if he would alwayB be successful, must always be capable of handling a larger business than he actually does. In short, there must always be a reserve power avail able for emergencies. The weaker must always be a servant of the strong er, When the farm is larger than the farmer, it runs the farmer instead of the farmer running it. In that case the farmer goes ^nder. Some man capable of handling the farm must get hold of it before it becomes a profitable investment. Our readers who have anything of a large acquaintance can easily verify the truth of these remarks. Hence the necessity of the farmer edu cating himself and becoming always not only as large as bis farm, but a great deal larger.—Wallace's Farmer. MANCHESTER, IOWA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 17, 1899. PRECIOUS METALS. Gold MSd Plattluum Are Cheap Uoai pnrrd With Home of Them. "The majority of people when naked to name the most pteciouB metals usu ally mention gold as first, platinum as Becond and silver an third," said the proprietor of a larguan.-:aying and .rofhl iug establishment to the writer receutly. "Now, lot us see how near the truth they would be. Gold is worth about $250 per pound troy, platinum (130, and silver about $12. We will now compare these prioos with those of the rarer and less well known metala To take them in alpha betical order barium, tho metal which Davy isolated from its ore, baryta, in 1808, sells for (050 a ponnd when it is sold at all, and calcium is worth (1,800 a pound. Oirium is a shade higher. Its oost is (160 an ounce, or (1,930 per pound. These begin to look like fabu lous prloes, but they do not reach the highest point, chromium being (200. Cobalt foils to about 'half the prioe of silver, while didymium, the metal iso lated by tMaaander, is the same price as calcium. Then comes gallium, whioh is worth (3,360 an-ounce. With this metal the highest prioe is reuohed, and it may well be called the rarest and most preoious'of metals. "Qluclum ia worth (250 per ounoe indium, (100 iridium, (668 a pound janthanium, (176,' and lithium, (160 per ounce. Nldium costs (138 per ounoe osmium, palladium, platinum, potas sium and, rhodium bring respectively (640, (4M, (130, (82 and (512 per ponnd. Sfcoutinin costs (128 an ounce tantaum, (144 tilurium, (B thorium, (272 vadkdium, (820 yttorium, (144, and zlnconinm, (260 an ounce. "Thus we see that the commonly re ceived opinion as to what are the most preoiouji metals is quite erroneous. Ba rium ia nearly four times as valuable as gold and gallium more than 160 times as costly, while many of the other met als mentioned are twioe and thrice as valuable Aluminium, whioh cost (8 and (9 a pound in 1890, is now pro duced as oheaply as are iron, zinc, lead and oopper."—Washington Star. 1 Tins laws of right are eternal laws, The Judgments of truth are true.

Grown in reason ably rich land, prepared in a good til ler and sown reasonably thick, will yield a large amount of first-class food at a low cost. It is best to make two plantings ten days or two^weelca apart in order to keep supply. Plant con venient to feed lots. What Is not fed green, will make good winter feed.— Dairy World. The Cause of Mottles. The prime cause of mottles Is the use of too cold water in washing the butter and the manner in which it is introduc ed into the churn. By using too cold water the outside of the butter granules becomes crusted or hardened like the shell of an egg, while the inside is soft. Now when this mass IB worked together these little shells remain in the same condition, and no-amount of working of tempering salt, or even distribution of salt when added, will change the conditions. They do not work up, con sequently do not take salt, hence the fine threadlike streaks in the butter. CORPORATION Tasatlau LO lows. Clinton, IK., May 6.—The city council of Clinton has ordered all the tele phone and telegraph oempantes doing business in this city assessed.

While there is hardly any question but that dehorning calves, performing the operation when young at any time time before the horn becomes fastened to the skull, as previous to this the horn is moveable and is not unlike a wart on theBkin. Yet if for any reason it is not done at this stage rather than allow the calf to grow to maturity with horns, using the clippers and dehorning is certainly pre ferable. If a good pair of clippers are used, there is no particular risk, and not aB much pain as many BuppoBe, If the dehorning is done in good sea son, either in the fall or spring, no spe cial preparation is necessary. But if done late it is beat-to protect the wounds from cold by tying a cloth over them. The clippers now in use are much preferable to the first used. It Is an item to cut close to the head, as not only i8 there less pain, but the wound will heal over quicker and better. Keep the animalB quiet and as comfort able as possible for a few days at least after performing the operation. Oomes Home with A Pile. Ottumwa, Ia., May 3.

Davenport, Ia., May 4.—1Three cases of smallpox exist at LeClaire, twen ty miles from here, according to the re port of Dr. J. C. Gamble, a physician there, to the local board of health. The patients are children and their homes have been quarantined. as the animals go right to eating, if an op portunity IB afforded, AB if nothing had happened. Certain jt is that cattle pay less attention and seem to Buffer leBs from dehorning than from castration, and where steers are to be fed to ma turity on the farm the one IB as impor tant aB the other.
