I heard Of funny incident the other day
which illustrates the peculiar method OF
charging adopted by French trades-peopie
and mechanics. An American lady who is
keeping house here recently sent to have an
electric bell inspected, which seemed to be
out Of order. The bell-hanger came, looked
at the mechanism and showed the lady that
there was nothing the matter with it, she
having merely misunderstood its method Of
working. When she came to pay for the ser
vices rendered the bill ran as follows: For
coming to the house "a distance Of 9 square
and half, one franc twenty cents); Tor
looking at the bell, one franc and halt
(thirty cents; fifty cents for being told there
was nothing to be done Paris letter to Phila-
delDhiu Press.

! We are aware that a good many
objections have been made to these
Eprojects.' We had been amongst
those who opposed them until we
listened to that address, Since then
we have studied the mattel without
prejudice, and the more we study
it, the less tenable Our objections
become, until we are now satisfied
that the people of Minnesota owe it
to themselves to encourage these
proposed improvements. We shall
take occasion to answer the objec-
tons that have been made as oppor-
tunity offers, and, in the meantime,
want to be understood as approx
ing Of every project that offers the
people of this section alienation Of
the hardship of expensive Transport
tation of their grain to market. We
hope that Mr.. Window will continue
his labors in this behalf this winter,
and it would not be anrdniss. for the
people of the State to strengthen
his hands with petitions addressed
to Congress-. asking that body to
push to early completion to two
works already begun.

the friends Of the farmers, and the
more there are Of them the better it
is for the latter. It is but natural,
therefore, that the farmers should
give'them the preference, and seek
to foster a branch Of industry which
has advantaged them already, as a
class, to the extent of between two
and three millions Of dollars per an
mum on the sale of their surplus
wheat. alone. We hope they will
bear this in mind and so encourage
the millers as to induce them to add
annually to their facilities for manu-
featuring until the surplus wheat Of
Minnesota is nearly all turned into
flour at home.

The Milling Interests.

Minnesota farmers are deeply in
debted to those capitalists who have
invested their means in erecting and
operating mills in this country, and
we. are glad to- see that tbis is be
coming to be generally understood
and appreciated. To some extent
Mr.: Donnelly is entitled to the cre-
dit Of opening the eyes Of the peo-
pie to this ebruth,st for his, abuse of
Hon: Mr.s'Pillsbury, whom he accus:
. ed Of 1f *:B3f{ll95R'ging to the Minneapolis
millers' rng,awakened inquiry about
the subject and led to fuller COM
prehensiopn Of the effect that local
mills have7had upon our wheat mar
ket:: The circumstance that they
were entitled to the credit of devils
ing and bringing into use the "pat.
ent process. Of making. flour, by
which the middlings, which had pre-
Wously gone to feed stock, are con-
verified into the best ,grade of flour,
was hardly known outside Of the cir
Gle ofthose who are directly inter-
ested in. the milling business; yet
this alone has added largely to the
value Of. our wheat all over the
world. .~nu.
" Again, the value of the grain is
enhanced greatly to the producers
by the fact that the n1illers are COM
peting buyers, constantly in the mar
ket and requiring annually from ten
to twelve millions bushels of the SUR
plus. They cannot allow their mills
TO stop and their employees to dis
perse, even if they have to sell their
flour at small profit, because it
would be difficult for them toresume
again when prices improved, and
meanwhile their mill property would
suffer depreciation in value. Hence
they afford a certain market for
grain, even when the buyer for ship
ment is out of the way because Of a
temporary cessation Of demand.
When the demand for shipment is
active, the millers must still have
their supply, and this sharpens COM
petition and sends prices up to high
er figures. Thus the miller is al.
ways @bulling" the market-always
tossing" prices upwards, no matte,
how the speculative demand may
be, and he is always able: to give q
little more than the buyer for ex
portation, because he has no wastag<
| IN carriage or shrinkage to accoun
tor, and has the benefits Of tn,
retuse-the bran and shorts.
Thus the millers are necessaril,
