I green and tender shoots, The of the blanched shoots has led buyers in manj markets of lute years to * ek green asparagus, and we will give our mode of growing both the blanche i and green. The gardener must, of course, grow to suit his market.

When asparagns is to be grown in tity, ii i^ always better to start

with the seed rather than to buy the ordinary nursery-grown roots. When w-il grow", one year old roots are to be preferred to older ones, hut the ac- tual nursery-grown roots are so thickly crowded that most people plant two year old roots. I prefer to sow tho seed thinly on very rich soil ami give '-::■• -ful culture for one season. Such roots are worth double what crowded two year oil roots of the nursery aro lor any mode of subsequent planting.

As to varieties, my experience is that one is as good as another, fine asparagus is wholly a matter of rich feeding, I can take seed from the wild asparagus ami grow in. fat stalks as from any named seed. Asparagus being a diicei- ous plant, and being grown entirely from seed, a purely distinct variety is usually imaginary. The hind for an asparagns plantation should IK- light and warm, for earline: is of prime fan* portali"c. Above at: i' should lie deep Btlll rich. .\"o ordinary farm land can at once be put in condition to grow the'

WASHINGTON LETTES.

(Frees our Regular Correspondent.)

WASHINGTON. D.C, Jan. 1, 1891. The use of money to defeat the

Wilson tariff bill is the dominant idea of those who have grown rich at the expense of the con- sumers of the country by reason of the so-called protection legislation of Republicans. Returning Democrats to Congress from districts having protected manufacturers all agree iu saying that money is being freely spent by those manufacturers iu order to work up a bogus public senti- ment in those districts against the Wilson tariff bill, hoping thereby to influence the Representatives to voto against the bill. Not only are halls hired for meetings to be held to protest against the bill, but individuals are employed by the hundred to come to Wash- ington, and to get signature at home to petitions asking that the bill bo not passed, and space is bought iu the columns of impecu- nious nc-wspaners which claim to ne independent which is filled with shrewdly-written articles adapted to the locality aud inten- ded to frighten the ignorant into the belief that the passage of tho W'ilson bill will be a local ca- lamity of incalculable magnitude-

All of these things were ex- pected. Tho Democrats know- that the men who had grown rich by legislation would not see that legislation upset without spend ing a part of their easily-acquired wealth to prevent it. But the money is wasted as for as its influence upon Democratic Cou- L'lessnieu is concerned. It is easy to find Democratic Con- gressmen who would like to change some schedule in the Wil- son bill and who propose to state their reasons for desiring a change to the Democratic caucus soon to be held aud ask that it bo made. but the number of Democrats who will refuse to voto for the bill if the caucus does not agree with them can bo counted upon the fingers of one hand with rin- gers to spare- They generally recognize tho fact that tho Wilson bill is a party, not an individual measure, aud that as good Demo- crats it is their duty to support the bill as it will be approved by the Democratic caucus, aud they will do it. No party measure has ever been passed by Congress that did not receive the votes of men whose personal inclinations and interests wore opposed thereto and none ever will be- When a man cannot bring himself to vole for a party measure, particularly n ben it represents tariff reform, winch has been tho keystone of the Democratic arch so many years, it is high time that he shoull cease to call himself a party man or to expect to receive honors from tho party he declines to support

The presence of several Demo- crats who would bo willing to preside over the Government Printing Office, together with the knowledge that the period covered by tho bond of the Republican Public Printer will expire at mid night of next Sunday, makes it look as though tho appointment of a new Public Printer would very shortly be made. The Democrats have waited very patiently for this change to be made, as there are more places outsiue of tho civil service rules in that Office than in any other single branch of the government.

To have heard some of the men who think themselves entitled to advance knowledge of all tho President's movements talk this week a foreigner would have supposed that President Clove land committed a great crime when ho went down the river in company with Secretaries Grresh- am and Carlisle for several days recreation without tolling his would be guardians beforehend. The antics of these smart alecks would be amusing if they were not so absurd.

Representatives McMillan, of Tnessee, and Bryan of Nebraska, who were appointed asubcommil tee by Chairman Wilson to report to the Democrats of the Ways and Means committee of the House the features of the internal revenue bill that is to make up the deficit that will be made iu the revenue of tho Government by the Wilson tariff bill, have decided upon their report. It will recom- mend that a tax of 2 per cent be imposd upon all incomes of 14,- 000 and over; that a tax be im posed on inheritances of personal property, the rate to be fixed later; that the tax on cigarettes be increased to 11.60 per 1000, and that a tax of 6 cents a pack be levied on playing cards. They estimate that a bill on these lines will bring in about ¥15,000,000.

A subcommittee of the Senate committee on Foreign Relations, composed of Senators Morgan, Butler, Gray, Sherman, and Frye, this week began tho Hawaiian in- vestigation authorized by Sena- tor Morgan's resolution. They heard several witness friendly to the provisional governmout and adjourned until next Tuesday, when other witnesses will be hero. Nothing will be made public until tiie work is finished aud the le- port of the committee made.

THE DISASTROUS YEAR OF I8P3.

NEW YORK, DOC. 30—R- G. Dun & Co's weekly review of trade under the caption, "The year 1893." says:

Starting with the largest trade ever known, mills crowded with work and all business stimulated by high hopes, the year 1893 has proved, in sudden shrinkage of trade, in commercial disasters and depression of industries, the worst for 50 years. Whether the final results of the panic of 1837 were relatively more severe the scanty records of that time do not clearly show. The year closes with prices of many products the lowest ever kuown, with millions of workers seeking in vain for work, and with charity laboring to keep back suffering and starva- tion iu all our cities. All hope the new year may bring brighter days, but the dying year leaves only a distral record.

Tho review of tho different de- partments of trade given to day exhibits a collapse of industry and business which is almost without precedent. The ir.) n industry still leaves 40 per cent, of the force unemployed. Over one-half the woolen manufacture is idle aud excepting a brief re- covery iu November, has been, ever since new wool came in May, the price having fallen 20 per cent, for fleece to the lowest point ever kuown. Sales of cotton goods are fully a quarter below tueusal quanity. Tho small advance shown in boots and shoes a year ago was not sustained, but with prices as low as over, the shipments of boots and shoes from Boston are 2-1 per cent, less than last year. Iu December not only manufactured goods as a whole but the most important farm products are so low that pro- ducers find little comfort.

Clear evidence of the shrinkage •n different brauches of business is afforded by answers already received to several thousand circu- lars requesting figures of sales during the last half of 1893 and '02. Full information of tho results will be given hereafter, but returns of toxtilo goods already show a decrease of 37 per cont. Iron returns thus far show a deereaso of 3S per cent. Reports '.bus far of jowerlyshowa decrease of 29 per cent.; furniture 2G per ceut.: dry goods 20 per ceut; hath 19.5 per cent; hardware 19 per cent: shoo manufacturers 18 per cent., and.by dealers 8 por cent., aud of clothing 10 per cent.

It is curious that tho only trade showing any increase as yet is in groceries, tho aggregate sales being 1 per ceut larger than iu tho last half of "92.

In the 37 years recorded by tho records of this agency, the number of failures has only once risen a little above 1C.650 in a year. Iu 1893 the number reported has been 16.659. Tho aggregate of the liabilities in all failures reported has in six years risen above 8200,000,000. This year the strictly commercial liabilties alone have exceeded $331,122,- 939, the liabilities of banking and financial institutions have been $510936,801, aud tho liabilities of railroads placed in the hands of reciovers about $1,212,217,833.

As all tho reports hitherto have been to some extent erroneous, through inclusion of failures not slrickly commercial, the classfied returns show 3,226 manufacturing failures, with liabilities of $164,- 707,419 ; 10.6S3 failures in legiti- mate trade, with liabilities of ¥85,527,896, and SOS other failures, including brokers and speculators, with liabilities of $30,662,735. The average of the liabilities in manufacturing is $5 »,000 ; iu legi tiraate trading $8,000 and in other failures $11,000.

LET US LOOK FOR SOMETHING BETTER.

The South has heretofore had

the monopoly of the cotton pro-

duction of the world, lint the sijjns of the times indicate, that

this will not eantuioe to be th'

man The experiments be; ■• lU'ide hy Russia in giewiag ; it-

ton in Sent hern Liberia proves, that thesn immense plains of extremely fertile lands can pro- duce cotton at a much less cost

than it can be produced in the Southern States of America. "We had as well look this matter squarely in the face and make up our minds for a continuance of low prices for this product Cot-

ton is no longer king, and the South can no longer rely upon cotton as the only market crop. In Egypt and India the growth

of cotton is being rapidly increased and the Egyptian cotton is greately superior to ours, and

is largely imported into this

country.

But what of this? The South is the finest country in the world and has more resources than any other section of the same area

on top of the globe- We are not dependent upon any one product of the soil, aad in this we differ with most other sections. It is

the part of wisdom for the South- ern farmers to look out for other crops and not exhaust all their energies on cotton and tobacco. Let us make first of all a plenty to eat. This is a matter of para-

mount importance. Without this there can be no prosperit\- in any agricultural community, and then, not ignoring cotton and tobacco, introduce other crops.

We called attention last week to the cultivation of the sugar

beet. We believe there is an opening hero for the profitable

cultivation of this crop- That our soil and climate are highly suitable for the growth of the sugar beet admits of no doubt,

but to make the matter certain, we suggest that the farmers of the country get together and select, say a half dozqn practical farmers and make a thorogh test of the -natter the coming

year. If the farmers will grow

the beets in sufficient granites, there are plenty of men with money who will be glad to estab- lish a plant for the manufacture of sugar and pay cash for every beet delivered. It California and

Nebraska the yield per acre is fifteen tons, for which the manufacturers pay $75, ami tL;vy the sum ol one hundred dollars for each and every ease of Catarrh lhat cannot M unread iiy the use ol Hall's CUtirihCure.

It Pays to Take a Newspaper.

Any newspaper that is carefully read is sure to contain something

in nearly every issue that is worth the subscription price.

Just look over its columns from

an unbiased standpoint and yon will find the statement correct- A writer in the Lowell Courier has surveyed tho matter and

draws the following conclusion : Some papers are not of much

account as to appearance, but I never took one that did not pay

me in some way, more than I paid

for it- One time an old friend started
