Tho talk about tho lack or want oi'i conservatism in tho Farm ors' inove mcnt is nil bosh. Nothing hut con servatism hus characterized tho move incut so lar, while tho lack ol' it is plainly soon in tho spite ami venom ot the opposition. Tho talk of the coining together of thc conservative clement of tho two factions to prevent n split ia tho veriest nonsense. The friends of Mr. Tillman are in dead earnest, and if -there is to ho a xpltt, upon tho opposition must rest tho blame and odium. Tho Till man i tc? can never disrupt thc parly when they uro already in tho majerity. The split, it' any, witcomb from tho minority. Tillman and his friends havo gone on public record that 'hey will abide the action of tho August Convention, and it.is unmanly and unjust lb charge them with duplicity. They aro tho peers 61' anybody 1 ti honesty and truth fulness. Since nearly all tho fumers in this county arc for Tillman, we ure constrained to helievo tho opposition rests among a few ot other classes in the hopeless minority. Such classes hnvc hitherto expressed .* great and abiding confidence in ibo good souse and conservatism ol tho farmers. ' Why, now. when they aro nearly all oho way distrust thom? Friends, the way to provont splits and secure har mony itt for those In tho minority lo join in tho procession and go with (ho majority, unless tin.y would tUhilif. the truth ol' thc "rule or rum" policy. The Atlanta Journal advises a general boycott ol Western hog's lard hy Ihc people ol thc Southern States il thc com pound lard bill becomes a law. This is practical and good advice. Thc bill is intended sorely to restrict the sale ot thc Southern product, in order lo increase thc sale of its rival product, and thc Southern people should not lend their aid to such partisan discrimination against an important Southern industry. Cot ton seed oil is cleaner and cheaper anil more wholesome than hog's lard and can bc used lor every purpose in the kitchen lor which thc latter is used, bc* sides being fully equal to olive oil lor ta* ble purposes, When thc tax is imposed on thc oil to make a large market for lard, every Southern housekeeper, and especially every Southern larmer, should rehtsc to buy lard at any price, and it would bc good policy for them to usc thc oil only, whether it shall be taxed or not. -.-. ? ?z> ? - BA Miss' TOES AND FINO HUS.-"Cia* lissa Potter'! advises mothers lo pay more attention to the lingers and" toes of crawling babies.

Cioni'ii moyer--How li Would Toko u l'oinilu lion Noiuiy us I'lti'KO nu Now York t?> l?o as Altiolt ns 11.000 Welshmen. Tho Bootie is tho coinmlttoo room of tho ways ami means committee. Tho timo is Dec. 27. linter Mr. William C. Cro lionmeyer, of Pittsburg. Ho ?tates his views to tho committee on ways and moans. Tho desiro of his soul is lo seo tho United States nnuiufncturo their own tinned plate. Tho cost of manufact uring tinned plato m this country, ac cording lo Mr. Oronon meyer, would be $?..r>D per box of lld pound't. In England the name quantity could be delivered free on board ?hip tit Liverpool at ?H.23. Mr. Croiioninoyor modestly stated that hp w.'inted only enough protection to equal ize Ibo dllFeronoo in tho cost of labor be tween tho two countries. "If tho tinned plate industry," concluded Mr. Oronon meyer, "could bo liuilt up in this country.it would supporta number of people nearly equal to tho population of New York- city." Accepting Mr. Orononmeyer's ligures as correct, tho following facts aro also pertinent lo tho matter. Nearly half lim cost of tinned plato in for sheet stool which makes up Do per cent, of fin limed tinned plato. At no tillie has tito cost of a shoot of steel of tho same hizo and weight been loss than lour cents in this I country. This amount is for tho raw material alone. A finished sheet of tinned plate of the same size is put free on boan! at Liverpool for three cents. The duly is om.' cent a pound. As each sheet weighs a pound, tho cost of a sheet of tinned plato landed in this country is, therefore, I'jur cents. Lut Mr. Cronen meyer proposes to manufacture finned plato in this country wirb a protective lari lt of two cents a pound. Therefore, for one cent a pound lie proposes to pay tho cost of lin, sulphuric acid, palm oil and wages; or, in other words, ho pro poses lo do the whole process of tinning stool piales at a less cost than tho Welsh do it at present. Mr. Cr??nenmeyer's next point is even moro delicious. Ho says that an in dustry might he built up giving em ployment to a number < equal lo tho populo!i< > i'm city. From Hie rep ll ? Jones on the "Tin Hint le ol Wales" it may easily bc total number of bands tinned piale industry 4*1,OOO. Aeeonlin - lo tho samo report tho average annual product of these if? 2<),78U,0l)() boxes. Of tlioso wo import about one-fourth. Query: If ll,O0C Welshmen are able to supply the linnell plate I rade of tho United States atan average rate of wages of $2.50 per week, what will it cost lo employ a population nearly equal to Kew York city at double that rate of wages, and how many single tinned plates will each employe limbo in live y oars? Li proposing to double tho tariff on tinned plate, Mr. Cronenmoyer will have to take account with several powerful in dustries. Almost every utensil used in d.itr.- '..mb-.- ls m.-.de from thine 11 lah ; ,;liliili)Ui p.; lie tiiii in. ii 1<<: ?feitdj ll . -i mini, .i"." i\ : ?.:7;''.'>;</.'wo in . ? tinned ?>J.U> U usje'd nuiiuall; iii lids ' . nutt f(?'|i.|a>i ; purposes'. Tliiii aiinViiiit is exclusivo ot a turill' oi 81) per cent. Tho condensed milk industry is not only a largo domestic industry, but a few years ago the Anglo-Swiss Con densed Milk company established facto ries in Illinois for the purpose of export ing its products to Europe. An extra cent a pound on tinned pluto will drive thrm back to .Switzerland again. At present a dairyman pays four cents duty on each ten-quart can, eight cents duty on each fifteen-quart can and forty-five cents on each forty-quart can. Hilder the proposed ml vance in tho tari fl on tinned piales, tlioso rates will lie doubled. Ninety cents duly on every forty-quart can! livori of greater import anuo is thc canned goods industry, Last year $10, 000,000 of (inned plate, exclusive of duty, was consumed in this industry, Not. less than 000,000,000 cann aro made ?.ach year for holding preserved fish, meals, finit mid vegetables. An ordi nary tomato can, even though thrown away as empty and good lor nothing, represents a duty ol' one half cent as paid to the national treasury for the tinned plato of which it is made. Another cont a pound will stop export? in this industry. The last industry which uses tinned plato will not be much affected by an advance in the tariff. This is the Standard Oil trust, v? hieb uses 8,000,000 pOuntlsa year of tinned plate for cans in which to export oil. As the trust does its business in large fashion, it can afford to take ad vantage of tho rebate winch the govern ment otters lo exporters. Would it not bo a good plan for tho government to give a rebate of one-half cent for every empty tomato eau presented to il? Tho people of the United States should not bo any worse off in this respect than foreigners who use our exported oil. .Mr. ''lark Fisher, of Trenton, N. J., is anxious about anvils. He - described thom lo tho ways and means committee tis the oldest implement known to man kind, Mr. Fisher said that forty years ago lhere were twenty-fivo linns making anvils. Now there were only three, A duly of 2 8-10 cents per pound would satisfy Mr. Fisher, lt would cnablo the manufacturers to turn out anvils cheaper on account of (liegreater production. So far Mr. Fisher. The presen I tarin on anvils is 2 cents per pound. In tho last senate bill this amount was left unchanged, Hut what a beautiful trust tho three surviving anvil linns could niako to re duce prices with an increased duty of 2 o-lO cenls per pound!
