Letfs Try Cotton Bagging.
?I?-'"J:To begin with, let. it be understood
~ &at the bagging which wraps a bale of
/%ttoo is aa mach a part of the expense:
of raising the cotton and putting it cc
'"the market as hoeing or ploughing or
hauling or ginning it.
^ In 1888 the manufacturers of jute
bagging, by a combination among
themselves, put up the price beyond a
legitimate profit. Patting tho Ameri?
can cotton crop at 7,000,000 bales, the
Bagging to wrap it at the 1SS8 price ef
%3% cents per yard, cost the farmers
15.670,000.
: Against the illegitimate profit'in that
combination the farmers raised a timely
abd ananimous protest, and rather than
submit proceeded to form a combination
'""of their own to use bagging made out
of their own cotton. They have ar?
ranged to get this bagging to the
-N factory for 12& cents per yard.
To cover 7^00,000 bales of cotton
with cotton bagging at seven yards per
m* will require 49,000,?00 yards.
; This at 12? cents per yard is $6,125,
UpGO. This is only $455,000 more than
TOote cost in 1888.
/^r"To meet this competition of cotton
??ging the jute manufacturers have
ta year cat their prices from 13J to
^&10f cents. To cover the crop of 7,000,
000 bales with six yards to the bale will
require 42,000,000 yards. This at this
years price of 10? will make a total'
cost of ?4,567,500.
The total cost of covering -the crop
with cotton bagging at present factory
prices, and allowing nothing for freight
tb tile farm and merchants' profits, is
$6,125,000.
S T?be total cost of jute at present
1 ??fory prices is ?5,56.7,500.
Take the latter from the-former, and
the difference in favor of ihe jute is
-$i?57, 500.
* That is, it will cost that much more,
at present prices, to wrap a 7,000,000
jcro?. in cotton than in jute bagging.
Now the question comes up, what are
the incidental benefits .-that will com?
pensate the farmers for this extra cost
of $1,557,500 in the use of cotton hag?
gis
1. The manufacturers combined
once and put up the price to suit them?
selves. Tne fear of cotton bagging
competion has caused them to reduce
their price over $1,000,000. Remove
this fear and they might jump up
$2,000,000 or $3,000,060, or any
number of millions they choose.
* 2. The raw material of ?ute comes
from foreign countries. With the ex
f? eeptios of a few thousand dollars7
worth, it is all manufactured outside of
'* the cotton States. Nearty the entire
cost of the jute bagging, or ?nearly
$4,657,500, goes out of the cotton
States.
3. The entire cost of the cotton
bagging, or $6,125,000, will bo kept
at home io the cotton States.
4. The cotton bagging will con?
sume in its manufacture over 100,000
bales of cotton. Everything that goes
to increase consumption goes to sustain
and increase prices.
5. Expert est?mete? say that to
manufacture the cotton bagging will
give employment to 5.000. These
joople will ali be home consumers to
bny the products of thc farm.
6. The manufacture of cotton bag:
ging will involve the investment of
several hundred thousand doHar-s>rc the
cotton States.
7. It is a good thing for aoy people !
j to supply their own wants. To-sapply j
? this one will stimulate ns to go to work' :
? and supply others.
? 8. Because cotton bagging at ?the j
t beginning cost 12.J cents as .no reason j
why it will continue to cost so much. [
Experience in the art will reduce the
cost.
Let's try the cotton bagging.
Birmingham Age-Herald.
History of Cotton Seed.
Was there mer a history, *Lis side
of Cindcrilla, of the uprising of hamil
kj, like that cf the cotton seed ?
For seventy years despised as a nui- !
^'F?tice and burned or dumped as gar- ?
hage.
Then discovered to be the very food J
for which the soil was hungering, and j
reluctantly admitied to the rank of ugly
utilities.
Shortly afterwards found-.to be nutri?
tious food for beast as weft *s ?oil, and
thereupon treaded with something like
respect.
Once admitted to the circle of farm
husbandries, found to hold 35 gallons
of pure oH to the ton, worth in ifs crude !
... slate $14 to the toa, or ?4(^000,000 j
for the whole crop of seed.
But then a system was devised for
refining this oil up to a ca&o of ?1 a
gallon, and the frugal Italians placed !
a cask of it at the foot of every olive
tree and then defied the korean breath j
of the Alps.
And then experience showed tl;31 the j
ton of cotton seed was a better fertiliser
and a better stock food when robbed of
its thirty-five gallons of oil than before ? I
And the hulls of the seed made thc
best of fuel for feeding the oil mill en- :
gine !
And that the ashes of rhe hulls scoop- J
ed from the engine's drift had the bign- |
est commercial value as potash !
And that the "refuse" of the whole
made the best and purest stock to carry
to the toilet the perfumes of Lutin and
of Colgate I
. About this time wc began to spell
rotton seed with e^p-ital letters.
And how it traveled a-o-rocd HU its I
various dresses. As meal cakes i? |
whitened the meadows of England wini j
woolly fleeces and fattened the British
cattle ander the oaks; it-sputtered on
the stoves of the Dutch in lieu of lari ;
it glistened in the cafes of Taris as olive
oils under sea'? and signatures it j
couldn't even pronounce to save ?te life, I
2nd from under the dikes in Holland it,
went forth to parade in ail the bravery ',
of batter and butterine.
In our own country it rencwe J the
wasting strength of Southern ?-Ads and
clad them with whifeuess that would
shame the fleeces of England, or yellow
that would pale the ibeecs of t-?ie Argo?
nauts. It knocked the western hog
into spots and poured the western lard
out of the frying pac info the fire It
furnished the Armours and Fairbanks
with a pure substitute for the rancid
fat they had been shipping u?, and sug?
gested the possibility of a clean aud
cheap lard.
A Dd about thia time Congress jump?
ed on to seed wir h both feet and pro - '
posed to check ils further career by a
prohibitory tax. j
In Behring Sea.
There is no reason to fear that the
instructions givea to oar Behring Sea
cruisers will lead to any acts of violence
in those waters. No British vessel
there would dare resist without speciQc
orders the seizure of a Canadian or
British sealer, and the English govern?
ment would not be so reokless or foolish
as to give such orders.
?f a foreign vessel is captured pur
I suant to tue instruction of the Treasury
I Department at T*rasbingtoa it will be
brought peaceably into port and the
case submited to one cf our courts.
! Then England may be expected to pro?
test against the seizure and demand the
j release of the vessel, with damages.
A diplomatic correspondence will follow,
I in which the extent of our dominion in
: Behring Sea will be brought to a square
issue.
The claim made by the present State
Department is to absolute control over
the entire eastern part of the sea-a
part whose width in places is mere than
a thousand miles, it is true that so far
we have assumed to regulate ouly the
seal -end fur fisheries there. But we
have no right to regulate the fisheries
'Outside of the three mile limit unless,
our dominion over the sea is absolute.
?-If-it is absolute then we can control the
entire navigation as well as the fisher
ies-can even prohibit all foreign ves-,
sels from entering those waters.
We see no harm in the State Depart?
ment making the claim it has advanced,
and much .good may come from it. The
seal fisheries are of enormous value, and
their protection is of vital importance
essential, in fact, to save the animals
'from extinction. If we can substan?
tiate our claim to exclusive jurisdiction
to the satisfaction of Eogland and other
foreign Powers interested, all the bet?
ter for us. But if we cannot, then we
may at least come to an amicable un?
derstanding as to the status of the sea
and proceed on that basis for the pro?
tection of the fisheries.
But we can gain nothing by shutting
our eyes to the strength of the case that i
will be made against us. England will j
show that Behring Sea is not a closed:
but an open sea, auc hence not subject
to the jurisdiction of any one nation.
"She wi l c* e pgainst us our protest in
the case of the Baltic Sea and numer?
ous similar precedents. If we base our
claim on the cessioL from Russia it will
be shown that the United States as well
as England emphatically denied pre?
cisely the -same claim when made by
Russia.
Indeed tue position of our own gov?
ernment on this very question down to
the time Mr. Blaine entered the State
Department under President Harrison
will 'be brought up against us. 'Less
than two years ago Secretary Bayard
sent a dispatch to our Ministers in
Great Britain, Francs, Germany, Nor?
way, -Sweden, Russia and Japan, in?
structing them to invite the Powers to
which they were accredited "to enter
into such au arrangement with the gov
eronTent of the .United States as will
prevent the citizens of -either country
from killing eeal.in Behring Sea at such
times and .places and by such methods
as at ^present srre pursued and which
threaten the speedy extinction cf those
animals and consequent serious loss to J
mankind.7'
Was not that a full admission that |
the United States did not claim exclu?
sive jurisdiction ? "Fer if tbs matter
were under our absolute contra! there
weald obviously be no occasion for -con?
sulting any foreign government about
it. Moreover, the favorable responses
received from the Powers invited were
proof that these Powers did not regard
tho matter as one to be controlled by
the United States alone. To the same
effect was the action of our government
in ordering the releje of the Canadian |
sealers which had been seized by our i
cruisers.
Argument, precedent and principle
are against the claim now set up by the i
State Department. if Mr. Blaine can !
meet and overcome them, all right. If !
he can't, then thc sensible and pattiotic \
thing to do is to accept the best arnica-j
ble settlement of the question, it is
not a case for war.-N T. Herald.
The I-Toon and tbe Bottle.
Among the favorite resorts of the
anglers hereabouts is Greenwood Like.
This beautiful sheet of water lies partly
in New York and partly in New Jersey
and it attracts daily during the season j
rae famous anglers of this section of the
country. Comity down on the train
the other day a Newark man told me a
curious story, which shows that even ?
liquor may be blamed for things of
which it is not guilty.
.'It is now several years ago/' said I
my acquaintance, "since ? have touched ;
a drop of liquor, and I hare not the !
remotest idea of ever touching it a^aiu.
I am not a prohibitionist, and my
abstinence is due to some rather pecu
Liar circumstances. I was spendhg a j
week at tie lake, .stopping at the club
bouse of the Greenwood Lake Associa- ?
tion. The weather was miserable, as it
rained most of thc time Finally we ?
had a bright .?cy. Lut the fi.-h did not j
bite wei!. Sitting <>n the portico of the j
club house that ('.\ning I was watching j
ike Utting clouds and tho unusually
bright moon, v. !? ;h appeared to ho :
about first q tarter. My guid-i wr.>
lounging near me and I was anxious for '
sport. 1 called to him to get ready '
and started across the lake.

I called hts attention to tho moon, an t
he rc nat ked that ho had noticed it late
OD the previous evening and spoken of
its brightness. Ile said that the moon
had reached its full on the previous
night, I concluded that something simi?
lar had happened to me the about
twenty-four hours later.
CALLED BACK.
"I was all broken up and returned to
the club house. I went to bed without
saying a word to anybody, wondering
what vagaries my miud would conjure
up rext. Every few minutes I looked
out of thc window., but the moon re?
mained exasperatingly full. I did not
dare to say a word to anybody for fear
of being pat iuto a straight jacket, but
I solemnly declared that uever would I
touch another drop. I went home by
the morning train considerably worried.
When I arrived in the city I bought a
paper in order to devert my mind from
thc moon, which I was continually
serins before me in all stages of fulness
and emptiness. The first thing my
eyes encountered were the head lines,
"Last Night's Eclipse of the ?loon

"The people on the ferryboat prob?
ably wondered why i looked so happy,
but to this day I kept the vow I made
on thc the previous night."-M. i\

The following is a sample of a Friday
afternoon composition which Adam
Biglier wrote while at school. We may
add that Adam Biglier was soundly
thrashed for it: "A school ma'am is a
verb because she denotes action when
you throw paper wads at the girls.
Switch is a conjunction and is used to
connect verb school ma'am to the nouo
boy. This is a compound -sentence of
which boy is the subject and switch the
object. First person, plural number,
hellish case. A school ma'am is differ?
ent, from a boy ; a boy wears pants and
a school ma'am wears her hair all bang?

her face and has some big fellow come
and take her home. Ma says a school

until she gets married, it takes two

"I am froo to confess that a trial of
Ayer's Hair Vigor has convinced ino
