FEVER GRRMs.-Doctor JEPsoN, our
City Health Officer, in his pamphlet on
Cholera in Wheeling in 1873, remarked
that in his opinion the personal habits,
mode Of life, and previous state oi health
had much influence in communicating the
disease. He did NOT lay much stress on
the sanitary surroundings Of the parties
attacked with cholera that year. We are
reminded Of his remarks on this head by
controversy as to the origin OF typhoid
fever between various. men Of science In
the columns Of the London Tines. DR.
LIONEL BEALE takes the position thai
Iever.germs will not be developed from
filth. The influence Of bad air arising
from defective sewerage, the vicinity o.
foul matters, etc, etc, is 10 prepare the
human system Tor the invasion oil fever
germs when imported, and TO render II
favorable to their growth and multiplica'
tlon. When the body Is perfectly healthy
and strong, It is abe to resist successfully
the action Of fever.germs; but, when II
Is disordered and weakened through con-
tlnued living in disregard ol sanitary laws
1t Is ready to fall victim to disease and
the generation Of fever.poison. The de-
ductlon Is: keep the air and water pure
as a fundamental precaution against all
diseases.

We give these tables in full that all
msy see not only the great increase in
our exports OF meats and breadstufIs, but
the articles in which the increase chief
lY consists. The exports Of breadstufEs
in 1874 was unusually large, but with
every allowance for this fact, the rapid in.
crease generally Is apparent.
Thus with diminished production and
largely increased population and exports
We may see why living expenses are not
ltsscned, and why the price OF labor
does not readily conform to the greatly
reduced prices OF manufactures.

Why Rents and Agricultural Pro.
ducts keep up In Price, and Wages
Resist q Decline.

HeAlst DeClIueS
During the recent conference OF Pitts
bargb between tho mill owners and the
boilers tho latter took the position that
they could not accept a reduction in the
present scale Of wages with justice TO their
family expenses, inasmuch as prices for
lbe nccessaries of life had not materially
declined OF late, and rents also had not
sud could not decline owing to the present
sud prospective heavy taxation in Pitts
burgh-A taxation made unnecessarily
heavy on account Of the waste and extravA.
glncc that had characterized the man.
agcment Of the city finances.
In connection with this plea of the
Pittsburgh boilers against cutting down
their wages on the score Of high living
expenses, our attention has been called 10
the recent report Of SAMUEL B. RuoaLRS
Of New York as 10 what tho census re-
turns OF 1870 show in regard to the in
'utllciency Of our agricultural products to
satisfy tho demand Of the country for
cheaper food. He shows in his report
that in 1860 the number Of bushels Of
cereals per capita averaged 80 4.1O, and in
1870 only 35 0 910-a decrease Of 81 bushels
per capita. A like general average Of
wheat was in 1850. 81 bushels; in 1870,
14-l0 bushels-an increase OF / 9-1O Der
capita. This increase comes from Cali
tornis and Oregon; in the other States
there has been a decrease. In these
statistical facts We must bear in mind an.
other fact not stated by Mr. RuoaLRs,
that in 1850 the wheat crop was much
below an average; in 1870 1t was q full
average,
2. CATTLE AND HOGS.
These constitute the chief sources Of
our supply Of meats.
10 1860 the number Of neat cattle was
l470OOOS, and in 1870 13,4S7, ,527, being
reduction Of 1,3l1,4S1. The number Of
hogs in 1850 was S4.5lO9Sl; and in 1870,
!jl23, ,7O5-a reduction Of s,3S727G.
8, OTHER PRODUCTS.
That the present condition Of our az.
ricultuFe may be more fully apprehended,
wecompilc the following table of some of
.ls other leading products:
Batter atd cheese. lbs. .66S, ,S4S,99o oT70iTOss
Tobacco ...,......" ....4S4,2 946l 26LIl5Sll
Rtcs...;;.;....."." ...ls7, l67,0sa 7LGS6,I9l
sugar, hhds...."........ 9S09S2 s7,948
Cotton OAles............ 5,Ss7,SS2 sol, ,99S
The great decreasein all OF these, except
The first, is in harmony with the foregoing
statistical facts. But in order still more
completely to understand the bearing OF
this decreased agricultural production
upon present living expenses, two other
matters must DO taken into consideration,
namely, the increase of our population,
and of our exports Of provision. and
breadstufis.
4. POPULATION.
In 1860 our population was 81, ,449, ,S21
and in 1870 8S55s,97l; an increase of
7,1l5,050, or Of nearly 90 per cent. or
those engaged in agriculture We cannot
make comparison, on account Of the
different modes Of enumerating them in
1860 and 1870. But from all the data
before US the increase in agricultural
workers was in proportion to the increase
Of population.
