NATION'S CAPITAL VoorbeesT Resolation oo Agricol tnral Depression Discussed. Sail lor: Talk on Blair's EdmQoaal Bill ia the House. Tb« Mary land Contastad Election Caaea Comtdartd. WaaaiBoToa. Mar 10.—The resolution offered by Voorbees Monday as to afriiul turaldepression was taken up ani Voor hees addressed the Senate in relalioi to it. He characterized the protective tariff as a curse. The farmers of the United States today did not receive on an average more than 10 cen’a a bushel for corn, 50 cent* for heat, and 2 to 3 cents a pound for hogs. The time wool come at no distant day when the farms would look upon the proposition to tax him, h.s wife and child j ren for the protection and benefit of other people besides himself, as he would look on a law of congress to establish the army 1 worm and weevil on bis wheat, infest his cattle with murrain and his hogs with chol era. F very pretense of a home market for the 1 farmer was a iraud, every pretense taxing] i wheat, potatoes ar.d oats for bia benefit was a cheat and a sham It was a notorious and self-evident truth that the tariff as it now ■tool increased the farmer’s expense ac- j j count 35 to 100 per cent on every imple- j ment of industry with which he toiled j Binding twine bad been enhanced to 18 cents a pound by the tariff and twine trust. He did not believe the hands of the farmer J would hold the republican ticket at the! next presidential election. He declared i that not only had there been no increase in j the value of land for the last quarter of a century but there hail bten an absolute loss of 33 per cent. The farms of Ohio now under mortgage amount to $31)0,000.000. Illinois mortgages amount to $402 000.000. Twenty-three per cent of the whole face of Illinois was under mortgage. Forty-seven per cent of the whole surface of Michigan wn* under mortgage. In Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, and the whole northwest, from 20 to 50 per cent of the farm lands were under mortgage at such rates of in terest as the farmers could never pay out of their crops, to say nothing of the prin cipal. The same decadence was in Ver- moat and New Hampshire, where there was a movement to re-colonize them with the Scandinavian immigrants, where the farm lards could be purchased from $1 to 1 82 an acre. In the face of such appalling facts who, he asked, would eulogize the workings and results of the system of tariff protection which had for a continuous! term of 28 years accomplished nothing save the concentration and amassment of wealth in the hands of a few protected] people. The remedies to be applied were First, tariff reform; second, a full supply of legal tender money; third, the free] coinage of silver; fourth, the suppression, by law of gambling in the future; fifth,; a liberal policy of pensions. Wilson of Iowa, showed comparatively the low farm produce and high prices of manufactured goods before the war. Stewart, said, while agreeing with Voor hees. as to th* deplorable condition of the farming class, he differed with him in views as to the principal cause of the ex sting de pression. In bis (Stewarts) belief insuffi cient money circulation was the only cause. The Blair educational bill at 2.15 was taken up and Pierce of North Dakota ad dressed the Senate. He said he hoped to have the opportunity of voting to postpone the bill till the second Tuesday of Decem ber next in hope that the bill would be amended to divest it of its o -jectlonable features an yet secure in a large degree what seemed its most righteous objects. Before passing the educational bill the republican part y should carry out its pledges to the old soldii rs am! pass the dependent pension bill, 'i will be time enough to attend to the educational bill after the farmers arc saved from ruin aud old sol diers from beggary. Rvarts addressed the Senate in support of the bill. In discussing the constitutional questions involved Rvarts referred to Jef ferson as a great lover of education, and asked wiio would have doubted he would j have put education over everything else. j He spoke of the stupendous estimites made oy the opponents of the bill as to its cost, j and said it simply amounted to $77,000,000 spread over eight years. That amounted.1 he said, to 81 25 a head for eight years. 15 ce Us a head per year on the whole popula- j tion. Call spoke in favor of the bill. He de- j dared there was nothing in the bill that in- j terfered with the control of schools by the 1 States, and nothing from which such assumption might be reasonably inferred. Bate obtained the floor and the bill went over till tomorrow. Allison, from the finance committee, re ported back with amendments the House bill to simplify ‘he law# in relation to the collection of revenue ami it was placed on the calendar The Senate at 5.30 adfourned till to morrow. maivianu vuuioaieu biecuwu Coop r of Ohio called up the Mary land contested election case of Mudd against1 Com plot). Lacey of Iowa. Dalzell of Pent svlvania, j and Greenhalge of Massachusetts advocated J the ca«e of the contestant, and the c»se of. the sitting member was upheld by Moore; of Texas and Gibson of Maryland. Pending a vote the House at 4 30 ad-j j owned. Changes in Maine Postal Route* The following changes in the postal ser J vice in Maine is announced Route 80 Greenville to Beattie.

Five Man Cut Off to tha Shafta by tha Flamaa. Milwaukee, Mar. 19.—About midnight lait night, fire was discovered in No. 2 shaft, third level of the Germania mine at Hurley. The alarm was quickly given to the force of men at work, but in spite of their efforts to escape five men at work be tween the fifth and sixth level in the same shaft were cut off. The men are James Thotuaa, his son James Thomas. Hugh Waller, James Sullivan and Wm. Banks, all miners. The fire burned fiercely and soon found its way to the surface and dest oyed the shaft house and threatened the engine and boiler house. The entire timbering of the ■haft and rooms in that part of the mine will doubtless be destroyed. Searching parties were organized and sent into the mine to rescue misting men or find their bodies. Waller came to the surface once, returned to took for hi« companion, and no doubt he suffocated and fell down the shaft. The bodies of Thomas and son were found shortly before noon on the fourth level near No. 3 shaft. Could they have gone twenty five feet further they would have been aaved. Loss so far about 1100.000. All effort# to extinguish the flames by water is unsuccessful, and the shafts were covered up this afternoon and an attempt will be made to smother the fire. Aid lor the Dead Flramao’a Families.

Mar. 19.—The dry goods trade was startled today by the announce ment that the will known house of John F. Plummer A Co bad made an assignment to Jeremiah P. Murphy, cashier and book keeper. g’ving the [reference of $2,000 to Evarts, Choate A Beaman. The liabili ties are said to be $1,000,000 Murphy ■avs the assets are about the same amount, nominally. The Arm was composed of John F. Plummer, Albert T. Plummer and William S Darling, and did a business of over $5,000,000 a year It was one of the largest commission houses in the business, and has been in existence many years. Among the mills represented by the firm are the New England, Hockanum, Hpring ville, T awson and North Adams. The Satinet mills are another branch of the firm, said to be controlled by Plummer A Strong. Murphy says the failure was caused by carrying too much Satinet stock and by the unfavorable winder for heavy goods. Today mortgages to members of Plummer's family were recorded by him to the extent of $95,000. In the trade the liabilities are reported to be $1,100,000, and the nominal assets $1, 200,00. The trade attribute the failure principally to over advances, chiefly on the satinet accounts ard complications rising from the old firm of Story AI)arlirg,»hose business John F. Plummer took. The Mid firm of Pomeroy A Plummer was mixed up with the firm of Ferdinanl A Mayer, which failed in September, 1883. Plum mer A Co. claimed a capital of $300 00o. with a business of $3,000,000 the first, year of ita existence. Their statement January 1, 1889 showed their assets to be $830 978, and their liabilities $385 862 The open accounts amounted to $624,570, and these were their principal assets. They did a large business in woolens, negotiat ng to take southern goods on account, which have increased their business $1 000.000 a year. TOWN ELECTIONS.

In the afternoon the assessors of Portland were j heard before the committee ou cities and towns. The assessor* were W. O. Fox, J. W. York and Stephen Marsh. One of ihe commission called the atten tion of a Journal reporter yesterday after- noon to a report in a recent issue of the t New England Farmer, of discussions con- t earning forestry that took place at a meet ing of the Massachusetts Horticultural J Society. In view of the talk that has been 1 made throughout this State concerning the valuation of timber lands, some of the 1 opinions expressed in this discussion may be of considerable interest. Prof. Roth rock of Pennsylvania, made the following statement in the course of his speech at j that meeting. “Trees should be removed from timber lands »nd assessed only on the income derived from what timber is taken off. The present system of taxing wood lands, taxes a person for being a public benefactor And in another part of his remarks in alluding to the fact that farmers attempt to cultivate too much land, the j speaker said “They would do better to cultivate fewer acres more carefully and let rougher land grow up to trees.” A vast amount of good-natured fun was j enjoyed by people who chanced to be r present in the rotunda of the State House Wedneseay morning. When Private Sec retary Stevens, the newly-male Lieuten ant-Colonel on the Governor’s staff, ar rived he found drawn up iu military array r about thirty of his co-workers at the (Tap- j ital ready to receive him as befitted his rank. A lot of old fatigue caps had been mustered into service for the occasion, which together with a few other military accoutrements that could be got together t hurriedly, gave the wearers an appearance t not soon to be forgotten, as the laughter- 1 split sides of those present can testify. The genial colonel’s attempt at remarks I was met with a ringing cheer, together with a disjointed tattoo beaten upon any 1 metalic substance that would give forth a ring. “Captain Tom” waved aloft the colors, the troops presented arms, and Raw Recruit Caldwell escorted the colonel down the line amid cheers and a general merrymaking that is beyond the power of i expression to describe.

Tliere will be a temptation to waste strength upon re grets and recrimination* and rivalries Hie organization that can go forward In the work without being led aside t y anv j of these temptation* or hew ilderiuents cannot fall to prove a blessing to the country in this emergency. In a recent rjumter of the Northwest ern Pongregatioualist a writer rnak»-a the point—which we have more than once emphasized in the leader—that the life has been takeo out of the temper*!** movement by the partisan course of the old w T. t: lie say* Ever since the union committed itself to the third party movement, many of Che most earnest workers in Its rank-, and the great majority of temperance people outside of it who tympathize with it In it* work, have anticipated such anew organization; many have even prayed for it.

At this season of the year it has always been the custom to put more or less engines into the shop for an overhauling preparatory to the summer traffic, but this spring it is necessary to uss all the power possible. Marshal Norton and officer Stinson of Gardiner brought two tough characters to jail yesterday. Their names are Tnomas f.

This is i the first lot of this kind of bait ever brought to this city. They were shipped from Dover, N. H., and a peculiar thing about j| the shipment is that all required to keep the bait alive and in perfect condition was to wrap them up in a piece of woolen carpet ing and pack in a box after wetting the A carpet thoroughly. It was rather a novel eight to see the little fellows wriggling, and ready for a swim in a tank after their long ride in a piece of wet carpeting. One fish erman, who has used this kind of bait, says he has carried them in this manner for forty-eight hours. A gentleman present said that ir would now be possible for a modest hut naughty man who wished to go fishing Sunday to have a box made after the pattern of a hymn book, pack his live bait in a piece of wet flannel therein, and eaunter forth in the calm of a Sabbath morning without his iniquity being seen of all men mho chance to rise early.

The following suggestive essay was read before the West Bath Grange at one of its late meetings, by Mr*. E. A Kicb:— •How shall we bring new members intc the g arge, and how shall the meetings be made more profitable?’* These are important questions Ques tions which all granges should agitate. All true pa'rons should ask it of themselve* I ofien find myself pondering over it and to the query 1 say. I cannot tell. Doubtless there are hundreds of patrons in the coun try asking the same question to-dav, and hsv«* be-u for years past. No decisive an swer has yet been given. When I joined the order of “F. of H.” 1 resolve* that Whatsoever my hands found to do I would do it with all my might 1 think I have never refused any work given me to do thus far. 8o I will sharpen my pencil and give a few simple thoughts on this subj. i t as they ccroe to my mind. First Ilow shall we bring new mem hers into the grange.’* I will say just her* (hat it is not now and never has been my desire to enlarge our membership enor mously. 1 think we cannot be too carefu. in this dir rio i. It is not quantity but quality we need A small grange composed of willing work' r# is preferable to a large on.- comprising laggards. “By their worki shall they he known." When the hour of labor arrives, work should claim our attention. Something new should be h arned at every m-*eting, When the hours are spent profitably mem hers who perchance have ridden miles will feel that it has not been a vain thing for them to be there The work will prosper, and. the outside people will see the good r--u!ts and thereby be induced to come in j with us That would be one way of in creasing our numbers. Another way would be to avail ourselvei j of every imans financially. If patronc would catch hold of co operation and stick j to it by buying and selling together, the outsiders would see there was consistency and gam in it, and they, too, would like tc snare in the advar tages arising from it op ration ought to receive the attention of every patron. After all. there is no better way to “lei our light thine that our good works be known." than through the columns of cut local paper. The grange is composed ol intell.g- nt men and women, and. if each member wo ild contribute something in the way of original thought the editor would be encouraged, Ins paper would enlarge and become more and more interesting. Subscrini'ons would increase. Its rraderi would infer that our grange was an ordet of no little value and thus be led to joir our ranks This I say might be done. 1 ought to say it is a duty for each to do. Surely 1 will say that every good patroc should help the j mrnal that earnestly and diligently works for the advancement and prosperity of the order in its own locality. S'cor-1 “Ilow shall the meetings be made more profitable.*’ In the first place I would say open at an early hour. Next, every Hie* r should be present unless utt* riy impossible, and members alway* tie r w hen possible Every member should t. el bit there was something for him tc •lo When a favor is asked of them they -houM r--noiid. Answer according to their ability Do the work that is given them pr imptly, ne it slight or otherwise. Follow *;ut the principles of the grange to the le ter lie correct in every part ot the work of the grange. Carefully follow the precept! of the order. Honor the grange. Honoi every officer, and love each other as sisteri at *1 bn then should. FARM NOTBB. Our Kent's Mill correspondent,C. W.

AflkbeTuionWiMdiOrsiFfdw. a BAfttOdAudljch The statistical report of the Depart meet, of Agriculture for March relates to the dis tribution and consumption of corn and wheat It makes the proportion of the corn crop in the hands of growers 45 9 per cent, or 970,000.000 bushels and of the j wheat crop 31 per cent, or 156,000,0001 bushels. The stock of corn on hand is the largest ever reported in March, of the largest crop, after the mildest winter. The average of eight annual returns is 677,000.000 bush els; that of last year, 787,COO,000 bushels. The estimated consumption to March 1 is 1,143,000,000 bushels, a figure exceeded only last year and in 1*86. The proportion of merchant able corn of the crop of 1889 is 85 7 per cent, exceeded in recent yesrs only by those of 1884 and 1886 The average value of all! corn ou December 1 wa» 28 3 cents per i bu*bel The average on March 1 was 27 9 cents for merchantable and 19 2 for unmer chantable. making an aggregate value of $35 000,000 less than the December esti mate. The wheat crop of 1889 was exceeded by the crops of 1880, 1882 and 1884. I*be average remainer in the hands of owners March 1. for ten years past has been 130.* 000,000 bushels The average crop, during this period, 450,000 000 bushels. Only in >ears having a product much below this! average has the March remainder fallen be-1 low 130 060.000 bushels, with the sole ex ception of 1886. wbeu a crop of 457 000, 000 bushels followed one of 357,000.000. Most of the wheat in farmers' hands is in States which have no surplus over con sumption, or in those in which much the larger portion is consumed at home. The six spring wheat States have only 45,000,000 bushels, 18 000.000 bushels of which will be required for spring seed, and the re mainder is scarcely more than four months' consumption of their population. Ohio. Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas, the only winter-wheat States east of the Itocky Mountains contributing to commercial distribution have only 60,000, 000 busnels, half of which will be needed at home, and a part of the remainder is commercially unavailable at present prices. It is seen, therefore, that the available sup ply for exportation and for home consump tion to July is small. Farm Notea end Items In Southern Florida the crops are re ported as being utterly ruined by frost. Did you ever know of an overproduction >f the be*t quality of any kind of farm products? Be an honor to your occupation and not expect your occupation to confer honors upon you The testimony is universal that it pays evtry family that owns a garden to raise its own small fruits. Wheat is now carried for half a cent a ton per mile on land, and from half a cent to three cents a bushel on the ocean. All animals are benefited by a change of food occasionally, and every one is injured that is allowed to stand on a cold, wet floor. We plead for shade in the pastures. If there are no trees erect a temporary shed. It is humane, and whatever is humane is profitable. The exports of farm implements during last year amounted to 93.C25.000. This is a gain of almost 91,000.000 over the pre ceding yea r. Every poultryman should hatch hit bens Instead of buying them; for then he can breed for what be wants, and will know what kind of hens he has Whatever influence the grange may exert in public affairs, its fraternal relations should never be lost sight of. These should be kept sacred and inviolate. What is a “clipped" oat? It is oue that has had its sharp, bearded point taken off by a machine desigred for the purpose, and is rendered much more valuable thereby. A fifteen-mile journey is an average day’s work for a horse. How far does the cow travel in a poor pasture, nipping a penney weight of grass here and there, to get her dailv ration? II. C. Adams, president of the Wisconsin State Dairymen’s Assoc.ation, says that since that society was formed twenty years ago the average butter yield per cow has increased sixty per cent. It is not the loss of sap, but the wound that injures the maple tree. One spout to a bucket is enough, aud it is the opinion of good judges that as much sap is obtained from one spout as from two. Water is a very important article in but ter making. Doubtless much bad butter is traceable to the use of bad water. The water ought to be pore, or at least free from all organic matter and from all deleterious minerals. The excellence of the cow, whatever else may contribute toward it, depends largely upon well developed digestive orgsns; and plenty of feed, of good quality and of suf ficient bulk, must be given to the calf to de velop these organa. There is no one calling which of itself gives so good a chance for acquiring useful knowledge as the farm. The farmer at every step comes face to face with the secrets of nature, and has the opportunity to acquire knowledge from the fonntaio head. There is a growing demand among buy ers of dairy cows for a record of produc tion as well as a pedigree. Nor is it enough to know that a large quantity of milk has been given. Buyers want also to know how much b'ltter fat and other solids there is in the milk Prepare the seed for spring use. mend the harness, fix the wagons and the plows, repair the stables, barns and all outbuildings, get paint and brushes for woodwork and use it thoroughly. There is lots to be done in doors when it is wet or snowing outside, and the hand of the diligent maketh rich. If you grow vegetables for market, profit will depend upon getting them into the mar ket early; and if you grow them only for home consumption, you do not care to'wait* all summer before you can have a “mess.", So the hot bed or cold frsme is useful for the early starting of plants in either case. Professor Sanborn savs: “The world is to-day one market, and our farmers are working in a commercial sense right along side of the four-cent labor of India, of the miserable Russian peasant who lives a dog's life, and by the side of the fresh fields of Australia and South America, where life is much simpler than here." About eight sheep will eat as much as one cow—but often eat what a cow will not touch. It is best in pasturing to give the cow-pasture to the sheep, when the cows ari turned out. They will clean it np. With three pastures, sheep and cows may be rotated in this way and one pasture he all the while recuperating preparatory to turning the cows into it. What is a horse good for without nerv ous energy? What is a cow good for with out nerv >us energy? What is a man good for without nervous energy? But must any of these have a nervous and sensitive temperament that constantly requires sooth ing? There is a wide difference betwixt nerve and nervousness The one means strength, the other weakness.

The subject for discussion this week waa the "Grange Library.” Kennebec County Pomona Grange met with Cascade Grauge Wednesdays March 12. Grange hall was full, and a large class took the fifth degree; the picnic diuuer and supper as usual were of the best; the dis cussion in the afternoon on "the economical feeding of stock” called up some very in teresting speakers. A special meeting of Cascade Grange was held in the evening, and the second degr e conferred on severs, candidates. A programme consisting o* solos by Arthur Watson and Mrs Batch 1 der, a churns by the young folks, readings by May and Fred Wheeler was very much enjoyed.
