She Crnttf Amount. fiO DELLEFONTE, PA < For Cotre 1CIDIK rat.) Communication. DEAR EDITOR: —The cold and live ly snowing changed my mind in regard to starting for Philadelphia, notwith standing my satchel is packed. Hav ing no dental appointments I shall follow the article on grape pruning by telling what shall be done with the prunings. It is a pity to waste thetu as each bin! under favorable circum stances may produce a vine that will yield comfort and food to the yearning appetite. Grapes may be kept as easily as apple* for winter use, too. and what a comfort it would yield to set out to entertain yourself and friends in the long winter evenings than a plate of luscious grapes. N< farmer should have less than an ncn of them, ami no garden need be with out a liberal upply. No one cat conceive bow many grapes a l'imil* will consume when i: b - free access to full vines. And when filled ti| with good healthy grapes other food is in proportion not needed. Grapes, unlike other vegetables, may be raised high up out of the way. Sunshine and air are requisite. The south side of buildings may as well be utilized with trellises either bracket or pole*. Grapes do not readily consent to j divide the fertility of the soil with j weeds. They may Ire planted to trees to climb on but should be awav from the trunk and trained up to a limb. Only * single vine must then prow from the root as it will be more vigor ous and reach the limb sooner. Branched piles will guide the vine up and will also serve for trellis three or four years. The common way of preparing eut- | tings is to take well ripened vines and i cut into pieces, leaving a bud at each j end. Those may lie kept in moist gr< urn! not wet till planting time. For out door planting the ground ; should be dug deeply and trenched I two fact apart, ami the cuttings la d j -lanting with the upper bud level with ; the top earth when covered. The slope allows the roots to have the b nefit of being nearer the surface The slop- should IK- about as great a sloping penmanship. If the rutting; is buried to the upper bud it has th> ; benefit of more moisture nnd grow- ] better. The top starts long be ore th. roots and strong ) t< iutrrnnl It LL.LTD It. r. CntTlN said : Mr. SPEAKER : It it were uot for the reduction of the internal-icveiiue iixatiot. this hill would not receive lioseri tus consideration of this Ilou-e. I had the honor ut the last see-ion it' Congress to address myself to the House when the hill was on passage •or ihe reduction of internal revenue 417,000,000, and to say at ilint time • hut I was the advoeate of the entire abolition of internal taxation and the discharge of the public officers who are engagid in its collection, except the taxation on whi.-ky, distil Its I spirits, and tobacco, and whatever rc i ve: ucs were necessary in that way ; -hould he collected u- the < rdiuarv (axes are and by processes to which the people of this country arc actus 1 turned, and thus he relieved of the I espionage and inducement to fraud which surround allot the law- now in existence in the collection ot such revenue. Ibis hill makes a much larger re duction. hut does not in that respect approach the expectations of the peo ple, hut it i- no doubt *ho inducement t" the ptco pie o| Pennsylvania. That part of the schedule in the Hou-e hill, which was abandoned, gave comparatively just protection to that production of Viiierieau imlu-ti v, capital and labor It was provided that a dutv of a ton should he laid upon iron in which charcoal was used a* fuel, and it fe I • i tier the clause in that 101 l which provided that in no #-v nt should the fitly fie less than 35 |sr cent, ad va oretn. It was further provided in hat hill where two or im laic- of Inliea shall he npplo able to one no ported article it -hull lie da--die I lor lu y under the h glicst of such rates. Ihe citiz-lis who were in Washing on representing the chart out iron in rest find r> | uted interviews with • aiding Senators during the consider*- ion of this hill through that body I hey found in the Senator from Michigan and in tin- senior Senator ironi l'eim-vlvania enlightened and zealous advoeatisof a jut protection io their industry. The S nntc hill a t PASSED that I* M|V provided that on ill iron tnaiiufaciured with charcoal is fuel more advanced in inauufui'turt' hail pig there shall be imposed aduti ••I $3 a ton more titan on the same manufactured with other fuel, ami iliat II iron in slab*. hliMinis, loop-, or j •iher forma more advanced then pig ron shall not pay a less iluiy than do |er cent, ad valorem, ami then pro vided that on iron in which charcoal is used as fuel further advanced than pig there shall IN- 83 additional to iron manufactured with other lucl. That was all that was asked, ami to such moderate demand the Senate acceded. In the report of the conference com in it tee, the provision that there *huln iron manufactured with charcoal as fuel, as will he found on page 29, line* 562, 563 and 664, and can not be an plicable to charcoal iron. In line 549 iron lee* than one inch wide the duty is eight-tenths of 1 per cent pcrpoutid, but to line 553 iron not less than three fourth* of one inch square, 1 cent per pound ; and in linn SoH iron I ** than seven-sixteenth* of one ioch in diame ter or less than one inch square 1.1 cent* per pound. On the firt the duty would be 817 92 jier ton ; on the second $22 45, and on the third 826 76 A portion of them as provided in line 5 .2 shall pay ales* rate of duty than 35 jer cent, ml valorem, that saving clause not being applicable to irou where charcoal i used as fuel. The Psenale bill as it pium.-d that body gave to iron manufactured with charinwl a* fuel an additional protecti HI ol 83 |K*R mil ami the lieiieffi of the 35 |s-r cent, ad valorem clause, which the conferee* on the part of the House have aban doned. In line number 075 it will he noticed that iron roils lens than seven j sixteenth* of an inch in diamuter whitll 'pay u duty I 2 per pound, and the duty would therefore he #2>t coin rolled j hv large capital centralis. d or shielded I by incorporated privileges. The American eili/.-ns engaged in j this business only ask a just tax and a I tair protection to their industry, and i in this hill now pending before thi* House instead of pr lection tin-re I weiiw to he a disposition to have that j interest, its Usi-tiilm-ss, its employ men' j of luh>.u i- reduced b. !..w the rao-s of the existing tariff, s. cnt-d lo la- jus! mnidering the general re lie lion, and with it lie -, engage.| HI lie business were -ai-li-d ; Inn when i •sinlernie.- eoiuniiio • r> |H*rti l I i this House tie- lull under deration and virtually p'a< •• tni- production In |..w ihe rat ->d protection g veil to the i-narser ami cheaper •potlMi l -" ot iron it i" i ot si range tle-v should cm plain of such uni.i"l and uowi*edi" eriuiiealion. or that meinlwrs of thi- IHSIV should he-iiaie lo tail into nov • ■nil liiiHiiott ot other interest" a* to d> as, | i.llls injury !•> a large and u*• fnl husiii's.-.

Iron is one great staple production in IVoiisylvania, and n* our capabilities do not approach those of other States, the ek • 1 1 and enter prise of our people should excite ad miration and challenge to the |H.int of coni|ietiiion at home, instead of pro voking the manifest injustice which 1 attempt to demonstrate from the pro visions of this hill.
