The Hillsdale standard. [volume] (Hillsdale, Mich.) 1851-1909, 1875-11-16

The population of the United States
by the census of 1910 was 1909, 453.
The consumption for each million OF
inhabitants in 1910 was therefore, in
round numbers, 10000 cwts. of tea,
80, 900 cwts. OF coffee, and 63, 900 cwts.
Of sugar--in the case of each article
far less than at present. The average
production of sugar in Louisiana at
this period was about $50, 900 cwts. per
Annum, which is less than the home
production reported by the census OF
1870. Tea and coffee were free OF duty
as they are at present.
The two periods We have been COM
pairing are separated from each other
by just one-third of n century. The
lives of many OF our readers cover both
cpochs. We are within the bounds OF
truth when We say that business to day
is not SO insecure aud the general con-
dition of the mass OF the people not so
| insecure and the general condition OF
the mass Of the people not so uncom-
Portable as they were from 1897 to lSi2.
The evils which now exist we believe
| to be OF the same character as those OF
| 35 years ago. They are to be cured by
retrenchment and economy, public aud
private, and the liquidation of indebt-
edness, and they can be cured in other
way. The grand source Of trouble is
debt. The thing TO be desired is the
reduction of the mass OF indebtedness
through economy and honest payment
where practicable; though bankruptcy
proceedings where payment in full is
impossible. The remedy of proposed
by the inhationists is the indefinite in
crease of Indebtedness, the government
by paying, like Mr.. Micawber, in moth
ing but its own notes, TO become the
greatest debtor OF all. We are in favor
of the largest liberty. Let every one
be free to assume the relation OF debtor
or creditor at his will. But do let us
have real money, so that those who de-
sire to be free from the complications
OF borrowing and lending may be able
to become so. Ii is work enough tc
manage business with private debtors
without constant exposure TO the risl
OF being sucked down into pnfathom
able pepths by the Governments repu
diation Of the promises which it forces
into everybody's pockets.

q Clever Thief.

The Paris correspondent OF the Lon
don Daily Telegraph writes TO that
journal: There is rejoicing in the po
lice over the capture Of a drolI Sound
rel who has long given them work to
do. This fellow hung around the
Lyons railway station about evening
time. On catching sight Of a traveller
who looked simple, he made aquaint-
ance in lonely spot, aud mysteriously
offered to sell patent watch-chains Of
amazing beauty and incredible strength
Try il, he said, you're n fine man, but
even you can't break my chain. So
the chain was twisted around the fne
mans wrists and snapped TO. While
he struggled with the vender would
calmly lay him fat, take all the valna-
bles and make off. For years this ruff
an has been playing this ingenious
game, going sometimes into the coun-
try. One night lately at the Lyons
Railway, he found a victim, chained
him up, plundered him and ran away.
but tie conntryman chanced TO be un-
usually strong and svift. He broke the
handcuifs, and caught the thief.
