pond In paying oil the greenback, debt will
diminish by se much the lmmodlate reduc
tion of our tarllt taxation ; for, whlle the
funded debt stands, certainly It is net wlse te
discard the taxes en whisky, tobacco, and
beer. Indeed, It is my own belief that when
ever we begin taking off the shackles or war
tariff taxes en raw materials, such Increased
prosperity will fellow te the employers who
dread II, and such larger and steady employ

been accompanied by war taxation exactly
sulted te prevent the sale of that aurpluiagu

Injury upon our waxo-earners. As the most
numerous p-irtofeur imputation, our wage
earners are of course thn tlrnt, the last, aud
most te be allncted by Injurious laws. Kvery
government by true slauwrncu will watch
fully regard their condition and Interests. If
these nre satisfactory, nothing else can be of

The taxes te be tlrnt remitted are thme
which prevent or hinder tbe sale of our Hur

are tbe duties en raw materials, and the
most widely Injurious of them Is Ihotaxupen
raw wool. Hut the Income of all wage
earners In the I'nlted States can be at ence
enlarged otlectlvol), certainly, jernianentlyt
by reducing the cost te them or the great

A etty tax or .'1,120,103 en raw wool asslsta

clothing te the Amerlcan people, with no
real and no Incidental benefit te anybely ex
cept the foreign manufacturer. I respecltully
roeommond te Cengress that lliey confer
upon the wage earners or the I ulted h tales
the been nt untaxed clothing, and lu erder
thereto the lmmodlate passage of an act
simply and solely placing raw wool upon the
free list. Ol course a repeal el the duty en
raw wool should be followed by, but need
net wait for, a cemH.'usatlng adjustment of
the duties en maiiulaotured woellens, whilst
our manufacturers are learning the Icaseu
that with the highest paid and most efficient
labor In the world, with the most skilled
management aud the beat Inveilllve appli
ances, they need fear no competition from
any rivals In the world, in home or forelgn
markets, se long as they can buy their wool
tree el every kind. Hut the common dally
clothing or the American people need net be
taxed ; therefore, It ought net te be taxed ; te
froe their clothing of taxes will Unally red 110,
by half, their expense foreno ofitie thrte

Hut this roductlen of unuocessiry and In
judicious taxation li net enough, aud will

I,astyear's import tax en raw wool is llttle
mere than the mere growth last year of our

Calv In Coeler said that the crops w pre new
all snowed under. Hefore the snow the win
ter wheat looked much better than wan autl autl
climted a month age. Tobacco stripping 1
going en lively; and the crop, no fares re ro re
perted, Is a very geed one. Mr. Cooper raid
he thought tobacco culture was asyetlnlta
Infancy. Farmers have yet much te learn In
regard te growing and curing the weed.
They must learn new te avoid whlte veins
which se greatly reduces the selling value or
thelr goods; and they must adept some
means et retarding the tee rapid curing of
their tobacco In a dry season, such as we
have panaed through. Heme farmers close
the tobacco sheds during dry weather, and
water the fleer of the building te preduce ar
tlllcUl moisture, but even this plan some
times rails preperly te euro the leaf.
M. I), Kendlg said tobacco growers must
keep a constant watch evor the tobacco from
the tlme It Is put en the peles. It should be
kept as much as posslble lu the dark. It
should be kept moist by muring into the
cellar enough water te moisten the utnios utnies utnios
phero In the tob-icee shed by ovaKratlen ;
and care must be taken net togive It tee
much moisture, lest the leaf become tee
teuder. An for whlte vein he bellevts it re
sults from boiiie iuierfeotlen lu the plant,
and he knows ue euro for It.
Johcnen Miller reKrted the yield of wheat
larger and the quality better than was antici
pated. The eats crop was unusually large.
The corn was perhaps tun per cent, below an
average crop. The new winter wheat was
pretty well rooted aud loeKod well befere It
was cev ured by snow. Net much tobacco has
yet been ntrllnxl lu Warwick township.
J. Aldus Herr s-ild tliru was a geed deal
of tobacco stripped In Weit L .tnpeler, but
net much or It had been sold. He had heard
of ene crop sold at 20 cents for wrappers, and
another at hi or IS cents through.
Henry M. Kngle thought It was llkely that
the corn wai In quantity ten per cent below
au average crop, but In quality It Is certainly
ten percent, better than usual. It will be
found that grain and hiy and home ether
crops are nl ways of better quality when har
vested lu dry seasons, such as that of the
present year.
KSSAT ON lAll.MINu.
Aldus C. Herr, of Went I.ampeter, read a
long and interesting essay en -the best
methods or tanning. He held that as a rule
farms are tee targe, and that practical expo expe expo
rlenco has proved that smalt farms are
mere protltable than large ones. Practical
economy en the tann means that system or
fnrmlns which produces the greatest possl pessl possl
beo amount at the least posslble cost, it does
net lollew that the tanner who produces the
greatest amount per aero Is the most success
ful tanner, rer his great crop may have cost
mero than It will return him. The farmer
should avoid all unnecessary expense, end
bn content with mero moderate crops. Mere
theoretical lurmltig will never become sue sue sue
I'oeaful until all rarmers become scientists.
The essayist belloved that the most succesi
ful fanners are theso who grew diversified
crejis. They alwa)s have a geed average,
even if one or mero of thelr crops fall;
while the tanner who devotes all his laud te
some special crop, and that crop tails rer a
year or two Is Hil te plaoe himself at the
mercy of the money leuuer.
The thanks of the society was voted Mr.
Herr rer his valuable csaay.

Henry M. Kugle said he held a paper in his

as the matter had been widely talked
about he would read it. He then read

Calvin Coepor thought this association

the matter. As individuals they could de as
they pleosed. He regarded the remonstrance
as a direct thrust at Mr. McCJrann, who
had treated this society with great gonor genor goner
oslty. Win. II. Hreslus held Hlmllarviews. The
llcensing of the park was a matter with
which the agricultural neclety had nothing
te da
Hylvoster Kennedy nald he understood
that this society had a pecuniary interest in
tbe licensing or the park and was thoreloro
responsible for the drunken and disorderly
conduct that prevailed upon the ground dur
ing the late talr. H this was he, the society
should take measures te provent a recur
rence or the disorder.
President Landls oxptalnedthat the charge
that this soclety had any ecuulary lnterest
in the sale of liquors at 'the county fair was
untrue ; neither .did any member of the so se so
ceoty have any interest In it He thought the
matter should net be noticed bv this socletv.
and the Introduction or the remonstrance was
nut of order. At the same time bethought
the great county of Lancaster ought te be able
te get up a great agricultural fatr without
having auy connection with rum-sellers.
After some further remarks by Messrs.
Kennedy, Kendlg, Cooper, Wltmer, Kngle
and ethers the matter was dropped without

The soed leaf yield will be less this year
than last, due principally te decreosed acre acre

yield will show a decrease, mero particularly
in Connecticut. In the seed leaf districts
outslde et Wisconsin .the plant conditions
wern fairly geed and the quality is geed, es
pecially In I'ennsylvanla, where reports Indi

seven sed leaf states this year will probably
aggregate a total of 8I,9I6,0( pounds en an
acreage et 09,095 acres.
The Pennsylvania crop this veir will rank
ns ene of the best ever made, arid the produc

was grown. The revit-lens made In last
year's acreage and yield were, we bolleve,
warranted by later Intelligence. Lancaster
county this year showed a slight increase In
acreage ; the yield will be about i .,000 cases
against 33.6S0 caes lat jear. Of this Iho

Havana seed will beabeut "(0cases,agalnst
31,600 cases last year. The dauiage from all

Flatly L'entradlrtrsl by County Cotnmljtlener
M jrrs anil Constable I:ieholl--Tre PI e
Dellar Illll. In.tMKt of One Ten
Dellar Nete Ingram Osiei.
County Solicitor Hhenck, In an intorvlew
with n ropresontatlvo of the Scv lira pub.
Hshed In Atendsy oveulng's edition, en
deavors te explain away the serious charges
made against him by the Intkli.kiknckh
and JCzaminer en Saturday evening.
The A'ete 7.rn'.i explanation starts out with
the declaration that the aldermen, Justices
and constables of the county nup ported him
when he was the candidate for county
solicitor in 1885. That part of the artlcle Is
true. They did support him, but the dis
tinct premise made by Shenck, If net by
himself, through his Irlendn, was that In con
sideration of that support he would net
delay tbe approval or their bills. This latter
he is new charged with. Neither will he
glve his reasons for cutting down tbe bills.
The commissioners deny the statement that
It was at their suggestion the reduc
tion was made It is true; that
tbe aggrleved efllclals have a remedy by
suit, but In tbe present crowded condition or
the docket, It would be long befere the suit
would be reached and In the meantime
they are without thelr money ler which they
have pressing need.
Hore Is a Hhenck way or doing business;
Alderman Harr presented his bill ler cases
disposed or. After the bill had been added
up the alderman, In comparing the bill with
hli docket, saw lhat there worn en It three or
four cases for which he had been paid In a
former bill. When he banded tbe bill te
Hhenck he called the solicitor's attention te
the Items and desired te eraie them from thn
bill. The solicitor said : "Never mind, I will
de it and it will make me solid with the
commissioners when I present the bill with
the claims stricken out, as It done by me."
S1IKNCK CONTJIADICTED.
Shenck nays In his Intorvlew that Commis
sioner Alyers authorized him te employ
Herace Itoberts te examine the bills of Kote
and Oerlltzkh Alyers was seen by an Intel Intel
liehnckr reporter this morning. His state
ment Is that he never knew that Reberta bad
anything te de with the bills until he and
Hhenck appoared before the commissioners
and explained the duplications in the same.
That was tbe first Intimation he had that
Hhenck had employed anybody.
Commissioners liartman and Gingrich also
nay that Heberts was net employed te assist
Hhenck.
riu: r.tcneLTZ cask.
Hheuck's explanation et Eicheltz'a ?10 Is
peculiar. According te Shenck's own
statement, Klcbeltz did glve him 10.
Shenck says It was a f 10 bill, was net a bribe
and still Us in his offlce drawer. Elcheltz
cays the amount was in two 5 bills, ene
from him and one Irem Oflicer Leman.
Klcbeltz told this te en Intellieenckb re
porter this morning. He said he had been
in Shenck's efllce almost dally since and
Shenck had never mentioned the money.
TIIK INGRAM CASUS.
The solicitor does net undertake te explain
away the Ingram matter. It was briefly
referred te en Saturday. The facts of the
case were as fellows : Solicitor Shenck
called en Officer I'yle, who was the prosecu
tor In the Ingram cases, and said te him that
he wanted te get Airs. Ingram out of jail en
a writ of habeas corpus, and he would de
se If I'yle did net appear against her, and if
he get her out, there was 10 lu it for him.
As 11 further lnducement te Pyle net te ap
pear, Shenck said te blm, " Last month I
cut out of your bill the AlcCutcbeen cases,
aud lr you don't appear, you can tell AlcCon AlcCen AlcCon
emy te put them in the next hill he makes
out, and I will approve them."
Air. Roberts admits having trled te buy
Iinsheng's bill and says there was net much
In it for him It he would have bought It for
f!X, as the commissioners' clerk had cut it
down te some $99 and the expunging was net
yet completed. The lact Is that the com
missioners' clerk never saw the Bushong
bill aud consequently would net have cut It,
but tbe bill was in Shenck's bands when
Heberts tried te buy It.
While technically Solicitor Sbeuk did net
become surety for "the beard bill of Heraco
Heberts at the Lancaster (county, house, the
tact Is undisputed that Sbenk went te Captain
Settley nnd engaged beard for Hoberts at the
County heusu
The business has been dene loesoly at the
county treasurer's ollice. The practice is te
pay all orders if they bear the slguature of
ihe party te whom the erder Is made payable.
County Treasurer Urelder admits that
Hobens was paid some bills within the last
tew months, but there Is net a bill en file
showing that Herace Heberts drew a dollar
from the county treasury. If business
methods prevailed there, as they de in the
banks, money orders paid out would bear
the name of the party drawing the money
aud it would be shown lhat instead of two
bills, which Heberts claims he bought, the
number would reach a dozen or mero. The
best evldence that the county treasurer ad
uilta his former motbeds te be faulty Is a
new rule which he has Just adopted and that
Is that the drawer of the money must In all
cases hereafter put his name te the order te
declgnate who received the money.
