The Hop Situation in Various Lo calities, The luto rains liuvc been very pro- pltlous for lice and they hare ap- ipcarcd la large numbers in some jyards, whereas, In other yards, but very few are to bo found. Taking all into consideration, the prospect for a blj? hop yield was never better, and most hop men feel buoyant in regard to the prospect. Many seem to think the price of picking will bo higher this season than last, yet no price has been es tablished, though nearly all expect to pay more than last. 75 cents will be paid in Washington in the Puyallap yards. Every effort is being made to check the lice, and some yards have been Riearly rid of tlicni now, by thorough application of the spray pump. A Pew new hophouses are going up. HOPS IN YOKIC STATE. The progress of the growing crop lias been watched with more than t usual Interest. Advices of lice on the Increase in some sections of this state have caused fear as to the safety of the vines. If the season were a month later there would be yery serious dan ger, but it is now early and if we should have hot dry weather the lice may leave the yards. But the pres ence of these pests, and the rather unfavorable condition of the yards because of previous neglect make the outlook at the present writing a little gloomy. There is time for some Im provement under very favorable con ditions, hence it Is Impossible to tell what the outcome will be. Much the laanie conditions prevail in Europe, especially England, though there Is a stronger growth of vine on most of the plantations. Ply and lice have appeared In certain localities, but growers and dealers take the ground gthatthey may disappear if the weather continues good. These reports have Qiad just a little stimulating effect sre, and while business has not lin- JHrovcri to an appreciable extent, hold pws would not as a ruin accept the juices at which they were offering stock a week ago. that went without cultivation last season and the year before, showing that the same medicine that killed the lice made away with the best aphis antidote yet found. Tne in irkel h is slumped in 8 cents on contracts, ami iiure-aru rumors if 7 cents. There Is, however, a rather still holding among the majority of growers. Robert Brown, of M.irlnn, has con tracted for 8 cents, through Thomas McNeff. No demand for olds, and nothln do ing on uow hops. Dealers ;say they are laying back, and will take their chances on baled hops. The White River Journal says all the hop fields that arc to be seen in that vicinity are doing nicely. Very few lice arc in sight. High Dutlcn On nations. The but"-a uiuunfnoturors, present nud prep itivc. aio uutisunlly greedy in their 1 i -i ?c a for tariff duties.

' Ouo of tho most striking indications of tho growth of sentiment against high protection aud of a liberal bentinient upon tariff matters is tho uiovemeut against tho pending tariff bill by tho Manufacturers' Association of (ho Unit ed States. Mr. A. B. Furquhur, an ex tensive manufacturer of agricultural machinery nt York, Pa., is at tho head of the movement. It is well known that in tho intmu facturo of ngiioultaral implements and machinery Americana aro far iu udvauco of their competitors in any other lnnd and that tho products of tlxiir factories may bo seen in tho fields all over tho civilized world. Theso pcoplo need no protection and aro well ablo to takocaro Of thnniKOlVPS. All tlinv ncL- iu n l.nt.n mills on tho strength of theso excessivo untaxed raw material, so that they will rates, sell tho stock, and then step out, leaving tho unfortunate laborer and manufacturer to faco tho difficulties of tho situation as best they can. Tho la borer probably, having been brought hero from Europe (for labor is ou tho freo -list), with unroasonablo expecta tions, will bo loft to join tho army of disappointment and discontent. Why should theso exorbitantly high rates bo assessed ou an artiolo moro or less in uso in every household in tho land, and tho cost of living so much increased in theso days of keen competition and small profits? Why should tho plain peo plo bo taxed to put moro monoy in tho pockots of tho rich? If tho wealthy manufacturers want to mako experi ments, lot them do so at thoir own cost, not tax tho poor for that purposo. Tho Infamous Wool Schedule. Tho sonato computations of tho equiv alents for Diugloy bill rates ou woolen goods only need to bo stated. They mako opposing argument unnecessary in tho moro reading. For example, tho rato is 65 per cent on second olass wool, 289 per cent on garuetted waste, 820 por cont on shoddy, 171 per cent on woolen oloths valued at not moro than CO cents por pound, 107 per cent on blankets moro than thrco yards in length and valued at not moro than 50 cents per pound, 212 per cent on shawls valued at not exceeding 40 cents per pound, 151 per cent on knit fabrics val ued at not exceeding 40 cents per pound, 257 per cent on hats of wool val ued at not moro than 80 cents por pound, 410 per cent on felts of tho same value, 147 per cent on plushes valued at not over 40 cents per pound, and 04 per cent on tho nggrcgato of woolon carpets. The pcoplo of tho United States could better afford to buy every sheep in the country and to put overy shepherd on tho pension list than to submit them selves to such shameless plundering Philadelphia Record.

It is also significant that tho manufacturers, in thoir peti tion to tho souatc, dcolaro that their ability to omploy American labor will bo greatly impaired by tho passago of tho tariff bill. Thoy ask that tho Chi ncsowall that is obstructing tho foreign trado and crippling American cntornrisn shall bo brokou down. Tho plea which has been used for years by tho protectionists namely, that protection is in tho interest of American labor is shown by census figures to bo a sham. Of tlio 5,000,000 porsons ompioycci in manufacturing in tho United States it is shown in tho po tition that less than 200,000 aro em ployed in occupations subject to activo foroigu competition and 010,000 in occupations subject to moderate for eign competition. Tho remainder, over 4,000,000, do not come at all in compe tition witn ioreigu labor. It is very plain that tho Diugloy bill is not designed, any moro than any other high protectivo measure was designed, to protect Amoricau labor or to p:o duco revenues for tho government. It is designed primarily to protect the trusts and to foster monopoly. Baltimoic Sun. Ulessod Aro tho Poor! Representatives of tho crookory in terest who havo gouo to Washington to protest against the new tariff complain that tho proposed schedules discriminate against goods used by tho poor and iu favor of thoso purchased by tho rich. Blessed aro tho poor, but thoy need ex pect littlo help from a protective tariff. Philadelphia Record. SAVE YOUR GRAIN Few realize that each squirrel de roys 81.50 worth of grain annually.
