WASHINGTON
our Regular
Washington. Jan. 1891.
The use of money to defeat the
Wilson tariff bill is the dominant
idea of those who have grown
rich at the expense of the con-
of the country by reason
of the so-called protection
of Republicans. Returning
Democrats to Congress from dis-
having protected
all agree saying that
money is being freely spent by
those manufacturers order to
work up a bogus public
in those districts against the
Wilson tariff bill, hoping thereby
to influence the Representatives
to against the bill. Not only
are halls hired for meetings to
be held to protest against the
bill, but individuals are employed
by the hundred to come to Wash-
and to get signature at
home to petitions asking that the
bill not passed, and space is
bought the columns of
which claim
to independent which is filled
with shrewdly-written articles
adapted to the locality
to frighten the ignorant into
the belief that the passage of tho
bill will be a local ca-
of incalculable magnitude-
All of these things were ex-
Tho Democrats know-
that the men who had grown rich
by legislation would not see that
legislation upset without spend
a part of their easily-acquired
wealth to prevent it. But the
money is wasted as for as its
influence upon Democratic
is concerned. It is
easy to find Democratic Con-
who would like to
change some schedule in the
son bill and who propose to state
their reasons for desiring a change
to the Democratic caucus soon to
be held ask that it made.
but the number of Democrats
who will refuse to for the
bill if the caucus does not agree
with them can counted upon
the fingers of one hand with
to spare- They generally
recognize tho fact that tho Wilson
bill is a party, not an individual
measure, that as good Demo-
it is their duty to support
the bill as it will be approved by
the Democratic caucus, they
will do it. No party measure has
ever been passed by Congress
that did not receive the votes of
men whose personal inclinations
and interests wore opposed thereto
and none ever will be- When a
man cannot bring himself to vole
for a party measure, particularly
n it represents tariff reform,
winch has been tho keystone of
the Democratic arch so many
years, it is high time that he
cease to call himself a

honors from tho party he declines

The presence of several Demo-
who would willing to
preside over the Government
Printing Office, together with the
knowledge that the period covered
by tho bond of the Republican
Public Printer will expire at mid
night of next Sunday, makes it
look as though tho appointment
of a new Public Printer would
very shortly be made. The
Democrats have waited very
patiently for this change to be
made, as there are more places
of tho civil service rules
in that Office than in any other
single branch of the government.

THE DISASTROUS YEAR OF
New York, Doc. G. Dun
Co's weekly review of trade
the caption, year
Starting with the largest trade
ever known, mills crowded with
work and all business stimulated
by high hopes, the year 1893 has
proved, in sudden shrinkage of
trade, in commercial disasters
and depression of industries, the
worst for years. Whether the
final results of the panic of 1837
were relatively more severe the
scanty records of that time do
not clearly show. The year closes
with prices of many products the
lowest ever with millions
of workers seeking in vain for
work, and with charity laboring
to keep back suffering and
all our cities. All hope
the new year may bring brighter
days, but the dying year leaves
only a record.
Tho review of tho different de-

LET US LOOK FOR SOMETHING
BETTER.
The South has heretofore had
the monopoly of the cotton pro-
of the world, lint the
of the times indicate, that
this will not to be

ton in Sent Liberia proves,
that immense plains of
extremely fertile lands can pro-
duce cotton at a much less cost
than it can be produced in the
Southern States of America.
had as well look this matter
squarely in the face and make up
our minds for a continuance of
low prices for this product Cot-
ton is no longer king, and the
South can no longer rely upon
cotton as the only market crop.
In Egypt and India the growth
of cotton is being rapidly in-
creased and the Egyptian cotton
is superior to ours, and
is largely imported into this
country.
But what of this The South
is the finest country in the world
and has more resources than any
other section of the same area
on top of the globe- We are not
dependent upon any one product
of the soil, in this we differ
with most other sections. It is
the part of wisdom for the South-
farmers to look out for other
crops and not exhaust all their
energies on cotton and tobacco.
Let us make first of all a plenty
to eat. This is a matter of para-
mount importance. Without this
there can be no in any
agricultural community, and then,
not ignoring cotton and tobacco,
introduce other crops.
We called attention last week
to the cultivation of the sugar
beet. We believe there is an
opening hero for the profitable
cultivation of this crop- That
our soil and climate are highly
suitable for the growth of the
sugar beet admits of no doubt,
but to make the matter certain,
we suggest that the farmers of
the country get together and
select, say a half practical
farmers and make a
test of the -natter the coming
year. If the farmers will grow
the beets in sufficient granites,
there are plenty of men with
money who will be glad to
a plant for the manufacture
of sugar and pay cash for every
beet delivered. It California and
Nebraska the yield per acre is
fifteen tons, for which the
pay cost of
production is leaving a profit
of per acre- We are satisfied
they can be produced here
much less expense on account of
the cheapness of our labor com-
pared with labor in the West.
Why not lock into this t
Let us show some enterprise and
not move on in the same old ruts
rather than pull out on new land.
Why be satisfied to follow an old
beaten track when we might get

That hop culture will pay in
this section admits of no doubt,
and at the expense at which they
can be produced in this State,
there would be a fine profit in
their growth. We have been
telling the people this for five
years, and yet no in this sec-
has had the enterprise to
make a thorough test of tho
matter. We know that for gen

Tho action of the Chi-
Falls people will force the

plans and prices for the ensuing

Company has done. This will be
an advantage to everyone con-
with sport. The

has had a particularly baneful
effect upon a trade which is at
present more in need of

to lay any plans for the future

on the whole of cycling from a
standpoint of sport as well as

Notes Interest.
The Landmark has been asked
to call the attention of business
men and others interested to a
decision of the Supreme Court in
regard to interest on notes. The
court time ago decided that
a note drawn at per cent, inter-
est for any specified time, if not
collected due, only per
cent, could be collected for the
time which it was allowed to run
over. Doubtless but few people
outside of lawyers are aware of
this- If the note is written per
cent, interest until you can
collect per cent. But if it is
drawn for one year or two years,
without this clause, and allowed
run three or four years, you can
only collect per cent, from the
time it is due.

SAVINGS OF A SMOKER.
A Venerable New Yorker Tells How
He Bought a Horns.
Chauncey M. once re-
marked that he regarded his success
in life as due, in a great measure, to
his firmness in breaking off the habit
of smoking. He enjoyed his cigars
as much as did any ardent lover of
tho weed, but when he found that
smoking with his think-
apparatus he promptly stopped
it, says the New York Times.
Luther Prescott Hubbard is an-
other New Yorker who attributes
not only his financial success, but
his long and continued life to his
total abstinence from the tobacco
habit. When a mere lad he

abandon both the quid and the cigar

HARDWOOD FLOORS.
Advantages Which They to
the Housekeeper.
According to the Carpet and Up-
Trade Review, the use of
hardwood floors, with rugs as a sub-
for carpets, is an idea which
is rapidly wining favor in this
try. Hardwood floors and rugs are
superior to carpets from a sanitary
point of view. They prevent the ac-
cumulation of dust and deposit of
matter in the cracks and crevices of
the under floor. The method of
cleaning parquetry floors is also
healthful. In the sweeping of
the dust Is brushed through
and into the fabric, or is carried
into the air to be finally deposited
upon every article in the room. But
in cleaning the polished hardwood
floor it is wiped over with a damp
cloth, and it is, therefore, not
to do the amount of dusting
which must always be done after a
carpet has been swept.
A house provided with hardwood
floors and with rugs for the colder
months does not need the semi-an-
cleaning with all its

A Hundred Feet Through Soft Snow
Before a Threatening Slide.
While Mr. C. S. was
climbing tho as described in

of broken snow, about a hundred
feet in breadth, composed of the
remnants of avalanches which had
fallen from the face of the mountain
above. It was necessary to cross it.
An avalanche had fallen ten min-
before Mr. and his two
guides reached the place, and an-J
other would doubtless soon follow.
The crossing must be between
two avalanches.

wall, we paused for critical survey.
