THE SECOND DAY'S TARIFF TALK .U'LIT'3 CflPAR BUREOW'S SPEECH. Mr. Burrows (Rep., MicL.) opened Lid speech vith tbe declaration that" it is a tiieorj and not a condition which confronts us. There could be no condition of the Treasury that legislation could not remove. If it was overflowing with surplus it was necessary only to diminish the sup pi'. If it was depleted, increased revenue could be furnished. The condition of the Treasury to day was an overflowing one. What was the remedy ? The Republicans would reauce the surplus by one theory, the' Democrats by another; and it was this conflict of theories which had prevented the remedy be ing applied. It was a theory which prevented the passage of a tariff bill last Congress. In the campaign of 1SSS the two theories were present ed to the American people and after a full debate on platform and in the press a verdict was rendered in fa vor of the Republican theory of tax atieu a verdict so pronounced as to v, rt bt the Presidency and the popu lar branch of Congress from the Democratic party and confer them on the Republican party. Ap planse. In the measure the Com mil tee on Ways and Means prevent ed it had sought to execute the pop ular verdict thus expressed and to crystallize it into law. It had been thought ttut the Democratic party would acquiesce and permit the ver diet to be executed, but tbe Demo era ic party did not propose to ac cept the people's judgment as final The Democra io party was again in opposition, and the conflict of 18S8 was to be renewed. It was again goiug before the people with an ap peal that they reverse their verdict o two years ago. The Democratic party favored a tariff for revenue ; the Republican party favored a tariff tor revenue and protection not in eidental, not accidental, but inten ticmal. He who believed in free trade must support tbe Democratic paity, and he who believed in pio tection must sustain the Republican party. A tariff for revenue only was a step tow ard free trade, ai d tbe Republican party was against it. The bill was introduced as a meas ure of protection from the enacting clause to the closing paragraph. Applause If there wr.s a single provision in it which, in its workings, would inure to the benefit of any foreign industry, to tbe detriment of our own, such a provision was there by inadvertence, and not by design. If there was a section in tbe bill which wou'd bring disaster to any American mdustrv, or paralize the ana of any la' oiinj man in tbe TJi.ite.l h'ruto, such a there ,y arei'.len', and section not by was de- ign. LApp'.ms-O In this bid." Kaid Mr. Dr.inuvs, in car;c!u-"0 , "we ii;;ve souurbt to le dace tbe revenues to the basis of governmental need, without impair ing a single Amerionu industry or depriving a single laboring man of the product of bis toil We submit tbis measure to the considerate judgment of the House and country in the confident belief that if enact ed into law it will impart to all in dustries new impetus, relieve what ever of depression may exist, and bring to all our people a new era of prosperity. Applause. BENTON m'mILLIN OPPOSES THE BILL. Mr. McMillin (Dem., Tenn.) said that the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Burrows) in declaring tUat it was "a theory and not a condition which confronts us"' seemed anxious to put himself in antagonism with one of the greatest men of the coun try. In the State of Michigan there were 47,000 mortgaged farms, while there were only 43,000 which were cot mortgaged. Was that a condi tion or a theory that confronted the gentleman at home? Applause. The average rate of interest paid by his poor, overtaxed constituents was 7 2-10 per cent. What remedy did this bill propose for these overtaxed people. In Ohio the number of mortgages was 291,000, and the mortgage indebtedness was 8330, 000,000. What had the Chairman of the Committee on WTays and Means done to relieve one particle of this excessive indebtedness ? Al though one half of tbe people of tbe United States who lived daring the war were dead ; although the nation al debt then over two billion dol lars had been reduced below one biiiion, the tariff taxation imposed to meet the charges of war had not been abated one jot. How long w ould the people stand this excessive taxation 1 Mr. McMiilin read a table prepars ed to show the labor cost, and pro posed duty of staple articles of man ufacture, to meet the statement that the increase v as necessary to protect labor. Wool hats had been made last year to the amount of $8,000, 000, the la'oor cost was 22 per cent.; tbe present duty wrs 68 per cent.; the committee proposes to make it 111 per cent Protection with inci dental revenue. Wby it was protec tion with accidental revenue, for it would be an accident if any goods came in at all. How would the farmer like the new method f rob bing them proposed by the silk bounty? He would have to pay 330000 pounds of corn for every thousand pounds of silk produced. And the worst of it was that he did not get the silk after he had paid for it. With the new doctriae of boun ties the Democratic party would take issue. It was ready to meet the Republican party in this con flict and discuss not only the pro priety of grauting bounties but the justice of doing it. The country was not prepared for bounties, and gentlemen might as well take a back track on that question. He denounc ed the action of the majority in in- creasing the duty on tin plate. In j stead of yielding $7,000,000 to the Treasury, tin plate would be made to yield $15,000,000. Gentlemen on the other side spoke of the victory achieved by the Republicans in 18SS. This was a victory, when 100,000 popular majority was for the Demo cratic candidate. Mr. MilHken (Hep., Me.) Does the gentleman not believe that more than 100,000 Republican votes were suppressed in the South ? Ap plause on the Republhau side Mr. McMillin No, sir; that is ab solutely false, absolutely false. Aps plause on tbe Democratic side. I am tired of this business of a lot of people standing back, thauking God that they are not wicked like others, when their own record is as rotten as a cancer's sore Applause on the Democratic side. What is your record ? You stole one Preudencv and bought another, and now you talk about suppressing votes. There was a conflict, joined in 1SS8, and this settled something. Let ls see how it was waged. It is a fact, known by all men, that tbe fat was fried out of manufacturers all over the country for campaign purposes. Go to the Post Office Department and ask your Postmaster-General how much money he contributed Mr. McMillian It is a known fact ! that during the last campaign mon ey was used without stint; votes were bought in "b'ocks of five-" i Some of the people who put up the boodle to buy tbe "blocks" were re warded with fat offices, and now it is proposed to pay the others in an in direct way. Ridiculing tbe method resorted to by tbe majority to relieve tbe farmer, Mr. MeViilin referred to tbe fact that straw was taxed. ! Mr. WiLsun (Dem., W. Va.) After giving us free whiskey ! sii':ar, do tht-v tax straw ? and fret Mr McMiiiia Mr. Wiison w( l se than I They tax straw. -Then tbe bill is thought it was. Laughter. Mr. McMillin then proceeded to an analysis of the bill, asserting that, aside from the sugar schedule, there was not a schedule in which the duties had not been increased. In conclusion he aid that in one of his epistles the Apostle Paul had said "Oh, who shall deliver me from tbe body of this death 1 Comment ators told us that this saying was founded on the custom existing in an Oriental country. When a cer tain crime was committed they did n t put the man in the penitentiary, as we sometimea do; they did not hang him, as we seldom do; they did not turn him loose, as we generally do; but they took the body of his dead victim and lashed it - to his back, and sent him forth with this burden of death on his shoulders. Wherever he went, by day or night, he bore the evidence of his guilt and his own great punishment, until overcome he sunk down in death, exclaiming, "Oh, who shall deliver me from the body of this death ?"' The Republicans had embarked on a system of bounty which must be as offensive to the nostihs of all tax payers as was the carcass of the vie tim to the criminal, and when the ides of November arrived there would go up from the Republican party the wail of defeat "Oh ! who shall de liver us from the body of this death?"

The tobacco must be ripe on tha hill and of uniform size and color Cut and till the barn early in the morning, and do so as early as pos sible, before the plant wilts. Do not crowd the plants on the sticks, neither crowd it in the barn. Be gin the fires at once, first sprinkle the floor of the barn thoroughly with water. This water is used to aid the piant or leaf in sweating. When the heat has been raised suf ficiently high to produce a sweat, and this sprinkling should be re peated while raising the heat, as it will cause the plant to sweat more freely. Some tobacco will begin to sweat at 112 to 115 degrees, -.vhiie others will require 120. At any rate, move the heat up gradually until the leaf begins to sweat say it wiii require some two hours to reach tLe sweating point. When the leaf be -gins to ssveat freely, do not advauce any higher with the temperatuie, but rather fall back 1 or 5 .elegrees and stand as long as the leaf sweats. When the water is sweated out, the leaf will begin to crisp at the tails and dry off. By this you know the water is all sweated out, and at once draw all the fire from the flues, open the barn door and ventilators at the top, letting in all the cold fresh air possible. This will cause the leaf to yellow within 4 to G hours. At any rate, when the leaf is sufficiently yellow, begin the fires again. It may requii e a shorter time in yellowing than 5 hours. In raising the fires this second time, advance to 115 de grees and stand for 2 hours, then to 120 and stand 3 hours, then to 125 or 130 and remain until the leaf is j 'shrewdness' they term it. killed out. i "It is a pitiable awakening for a If you are advancing too fast tbe ! young man w ben his employer leaf will show red spotd on tbe face i stands before his unveiled eyes a and edges.

It is a known fact that a ripe aud well matured t-lant of tobacco con tains from 75 to 85 per cent, of wa- ler cr its equivalent.

The water will break through tbe pores when the heat is raised to kill out the leaf or set the color and is thereby called sweating and will blacken the leaf and ruin the barn of tobacco. It requires about 30 hours to cure a barn. RANDOM SELECTIONS. W"i I ni i n ! t on Mi 'ssong-i t . There are many people to whom the chief use of friendship seems to be the abuse of it. A friend to us is more or less consciously a person whom we may treat only with less ceremony than we do others, but with less justice as well. We pre sume upon the good nature of a friend is one of the most insidious of all the temptations with which weak and feebie human nature is blest,and it is one of the most frequently suc cessful ones. We are all oi us likely to be guilty in this respect, so it is hardly fair for any man to begin on his score to fling stones at his neighbor. It is so easy to excuse ourselves for wrongs, which are not resented, that sometimes one wo clers whether, after all, conscience is not, at least three parts of five, respect for some body's opinion of us. And tbe worst of this is that we almost invariably respect our friends somewhat less for submicting to our ill-usage of them. We do bim little mJuautcf' l,m,:a ""lou 13 Luu fond of ub- even to resent even when he feels them, and out of hi3 gen- erosity we make an excuse for hold ing him of less account and conse quently for loving him less and im posing upon him more. This is often the history of marri ed life. One or the other of a couple yields too much and too often, mov- ed by much over affection to give away, and the result is that he or she wins only a more or less con scioiT; contempt. The truth is that even in friend ship we are all human, ftnd it is well to reflect that if one desires to hold tho icgird of his friend it is neces sary also to hold his respect. It is sometimes wise to displease a friend for the sake of holding his affection up to its level. "Tempi ation" writes Bessie Fos ter in tbe Balfimorean, "assails our frail humanity in so many forms that, few persons have the moral stamina to resist "its seductive wiles and tbe marvel is, not that crime exists, but that it is not more preva lent, pressed as we are by inward and outward foes, our appetites and passions and wild desires for wealth and influence often cai'rying us far beyond the pale of religion and even reason itself. "Many young men who are reared in exceptionally good homes, and know nothing of the 'outer devil' until they stanJ upon the threshold of manhood, entering upon an ap preutieeship with some dishonest man, or leaving home for a higher education, are first brought in con tact with the hitherto scarcely imag ined evils of existence tbe dragons tLat are leaping with flaming eyes and insatiate appetite f r the pure life blood of their would-be vic tims. "Such a one, who has been trained to abhor deception, lying, and theft, is amazed to find that his chosen employer or associate, whom he had thought a model of manly rectitude, is guilty of these and even graver offences ; but the world not only tol erates but extols such an offender, his great wealth entitling him to its homage, albeit that wealth has beeu amassed by deceit and fraud tion upon unsuspecting customers, and striving after the same unhal lowed possessions. "The struggle with his better self is poignant, if not ioug, for it is no light thing to be thrown out upon the cold charities of tbe world, and in mtny instances, it is ret merely personal suffering that he dreads, but tbe suffering that must be en tailed upon the dear ones dependent upon him lor a livelihood. t I "In order to secure another situa- tion a recommendation from his former employer would be necessary, and such he could neither obtain nor j accept. He finds on investigation j that a large proportion of business men in ail the vocations indulge in similar frauds, and laying aside the conscientious scruples he once held dearer than life itself he consents to become an adept in the art of decep tion and dishonesty, and is com mended for his sharpness and good management. "The first deviation from truth and integrity being taken, the down ward career is rapid and ignomini ous, for the dishonesty practiced for the benefit of his employer is theft when perpetrated upon the emqloy er himself for the purpose of supple meuting an inadequate salary; and the poor deluded embezzler is castr into prison by the merciless unde tected robber, who, seated on his throne of wealth and power, safe from the law's demands, dares to treat his unfortunate imitator with scorn and contumely because of the folly of detection. Alas ! alas ! for the corruptions, injustice and false distinctions of this life." MER-T WINS.

Washington, May 10 Statistical ret urns of the Department of Agri culture for May, relative to cotton, report the progress of p'auting and the conditions affecting seeding and germination. Plating is late, except in the Carohnas. Ia Georgia it is scarcely up to the average at this date, delay being caused by drought, difficulty of plowing and slow ger mination. From Alabama westward serious delays Lava occurred from excessive rains, overflow of bottom lands and flool from rise of great rivers. Replanting has been neces sary where seed has rotted in the ground. Great scarcity of seed is reported in parts of Tennessee. Usually nearly seven eights of the cotton area is seeded lefore the close of April. This year only three fourths has been planted. The pro portion in several States is reported as follows : Virginia, 55 per cent ; North Carolina, 77; South f "aroliH, 86 ; Georgia, 86 ; F.orida, S7 ; Ala bama, 85 ; Mississipi, 65 ; Louisiana? 70 ; Texas, 75 ; Tennessee, 57 ; Ar kansas, 75 average, 75.8 per cent. In the Mississippi river bottom lands the fear ef floods, as well as actual overflows, prevents planting, which will be actively pushed as the waters subside and danger becomes less imminent. FINE PHRASES FOR THE FARMER. Philadelphia Times. It is hoped that the "Western farmers will be duly impressed with the logic of Mr. McKinley. To them console for the low prices they are receiving for their crops, he pro poses to raise the price of the manu factured goods which they Lave to buy or receive in exchange their clothing, tleir tinware, glas-, china and household articles generally. The farmer may inquire how he is to be benefited in this arrangement, seeing that he cannot get enough now for his wheat and corn to pay for his tools and his clothing and other necessaries. Mr. McKinley is ready for him. He explains that the existing depression is due to "for eign agriculture products crowd ing our home market," and he is go ing to stop that at once by increas ing the import duties on wheat and corn. If the farmer should reply no wheat or corn is imported, and he can't see what good that will do him, Mr. McKinley is ready for him again. He does not explain further. but he assures the farmer that his bill is "tor the better defense of Imerican homes," and nobody ought to demand a finer phrase than that. If the farmer is still dissatisfied, he can leave off farming and go into tbe business of sugar refiuing or manufacturing tin plate. Then the advantages of the tariff would be come apparent to the dullest mind. Thin and impure blood is made rich and healthful by taking Hood's S.trsapa: iila.

Every element necessary to the support of man is contained within the limits of an egg shell, in the best proportions and iu the best palatable form. Plain boiled they are wholesome. The masters of French cookery, however, affirm that it is easy to dress them in more than five hundred ways, each method not only economical but salutary in the highest degree No honest appetite ever yet rejected an egg in some guise. It is nutriment in the most portable form and in most concen trated shape. "Whole nations of man kind rarely touch any other animal food. Kings eat them plain as readily as do the humble tribesmen. After the victory of iMuhldorf, when the Kaiser Ludwig sat at meat with his burggrafs and great captains, he deter mined on a piece of luxury "one egg to every man, and two to the excellently valiant Schwepperman. " Far more than fish for it is watery diet eggs are the scholar's fare. They contain phosphorus, which is brain food, and sulpher, which performs a variety of functions in the economy. And they are the best of nu triment for children, for, in a compact form they contain everything that is nec essary for the growth of the youthful frame. Eggs are, however, not only food. They are medicine also. The white is the most efficacious of remedies for burns, and the oil extractable from the yolk is regarded by the Russians as an almost miraculous salve for cuts, bruises and scratches. A raw egg, if swallowed in time, will effectually detach a fish bone from the throat, and the white of two eggs will render the deadly corrosive sublimate as harmless as a dose of calomeL They strengthen the consumptive, invigorate the feeble, and render the most suscep tible all but proof against jaundice in its more malignant phase. They can also be drunk in the shape of that "egg-flip" which sustains the oratorical efforts of a modern statesman. The merits of egg3 do not end even here. In France alone, the wine clarifiers use more than eighty millions a year, and the Alsatians consume fully thirty-eight millions in calico printing and for dressing the leather used in making the finest of French kid gloves. Finally, not to men tion various other employments for eggs in the arts, they may, of course, almost without trouble on the farmer's part, be converted into fowls, which, in any shape, are profitable to the seller and welcome to the buyer. Even eggshells are valuable.for allopath and. homeopath alike agree in regarding them as the purest of carbonate of lime. In the face of thee facts it seems al most incredible that an article of com merce, to produce which require-s hardly any capital, and which is salable in any quantity, is so little attended to that the supply is altogether unequal to the de mand. Many middle-class families use for the breakfast table and for cooking fully a hundred per week, while confectioners, hotels restaurants, and others, must con sume every day four or five times as many, to say nothing of the cratefula absorl?d by various arts and manufact ures. In one photographic establishment alone two millions are used every year ; while the amount required for various process;-? in calico printing, leather dress ing, and. we l-iieve, in book binding, nm.-t exceed the number employed 33 food. Congress and the Farmers. The President's recommendation that the weather bureau be transferred from the army to the Agricultural Depart ment meets universal favor. The Amer ican -VirrK-uirurist ieneves tne cliange is In li..e wi;h good p-iliey and that it is de manded by the public, and especially by the farmers. With a more complete corps of observers, and a perfect system of displaying signals, the predictions should not onlv be made more accurate but should be brought within the reach of farmers at every hamlet and cross roads. Vol uutee: s could lie secured for much of thi-; service, aud with proper executive management the desired im provements could be insured without enormous out lav. It is only a question of time when the general land office and the geological survey will lie transferred to the Agri cultural Department. The desire is gen- ral that this department come to the front as one of the greatest executive divisions of the government. The farm ers want it built up and made more use- fuL They also hold that the Secretary should be a thoroughly practical farmer, and some have crit icised the present in cumbent on this score. If cabinet changes occasion a vacancy in the port folio of Agriculture, this qualification cf the Secretarv will be brought to the President's attention with decided em phasis.

There was no eruption until I wascomjielledto scratch, tlu n a little pimple, not as large as a pin's head, would apjar, and then my inis.--ry commeni-cd.

EC, E. at the house of John IL Tvler Jc Co. VARICOSE VEIN'S. To the Xolandine Company: Permit me to add my testimony to the curative propertii-s of Xolandine. For many years I have suffered from varicose veins. Twelve months ago I struck my leg against a chair, breaking one of the veins. The wound thus made could not lie heali-d exn-pt for a short time; t lien break out afresh. At times I suffered untold misery from local fever and most insufferable burning sensation. After using two (2) liottles of your "Veg etable Xolandine" the ulcerated places healed, the swelling disappeared, natural sleep was restored, and my nervous sys teiu composed. As a vermifuge, Xolandine acted spe cifically on one of my children. As a bloixl purifier and general tonic, your Xolandine has no equal. Gratefully yours. D. P..
