SPIRIT OF THE AGE.

A member of the sanitary police force
came across boy the other day who was
wheeling home load of oyster cans and
bottles, and, curious to know what use the
lad could put them to, he made direct in
quiry.
"Going to throw them over into our
back yard" replied the boy. II took two
loads home yesterday"
"But what do you use 'em for?"
cts trick of the family" grinned the
lad.
"How trick?"
"rd just as lief tell" continued the boy,
as he spit on his hand to resume his hold OF
the barrow. Were going to have some
relashuns come in from the country. We
may not have much to eat, but if they see
these cans and bottles and boxes they'll
think we've had listers, champagne, figs and
nuts. till we've got tired of 'em, and are
living on bread and taters for healthy
change!"
The officer scratched his ear like man
who had received new idea. Detroit Free

THE COUNTRY RESUMES.

Out of the valley of the shadow of
bankruptcy in which the country has
been travelling for the past five years the
people have looked in vain for any legis
lative help. 1t is doubtless true that too
much is expected, in times of trouble,
from the wisdom of our lawmakers, and
too little ever realized. The power of Con
gress to gather up the raveled threads of
commercial disaster and legislate bank
rupt people into solvent condition is
quite limited, while in the wisdom to ex
ercise what powers it may have to frame
laws in such emergencies that body has
always been wanting.
In the meantime the men who tickle the
earth with the plow and the hoe are
curing in their quiet way the disasters of
wild speculation. The present years
crop report is almost miracle. In the
whole history of this prolific country
there has been no such yield as we are
now assured of. Eli Perkins, who for a
half-dozen years has striven with zeal
and modesty to earn the reputation OF
being funny newspaper correspondent,
and having, like a sensible men, fully re-
allied that in that role he was miserable
failure, has recently turned his attention
to statistics, agricultural statistics He
has given to the New York Graphic some
statements as to the crops in the North
west. Had Perkins ever shown by his
previous writings that he was endowed
with the gift of imagination (but he never
did, we should distrust his estimates OF
. the wheat crop Of the Northwest For
the comparatively new States of the
Union he reports wheat as follows: Min.
nesota, 60,000,000 bushels; Dakota, 49,
100000; Iowa, $4,000, 900; Kansas, 30,.
100000; Nebraska, 25,000,000; Califor
mia 20,000,000, and so on, giving an ag
gregate for the whole empire of Uncle
Sam in this year of 1878 of 426,000,00C
bushels of wheat. The excess of wheat
produced over home wants will be al
least 100000 bushels. We give it or
Ellis authority that the wheat croE
alone will be worth 5000, 100000 more
than the biggest cotton crop evel
raised in the United States. Cot
ton as King of course has been de
The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1878-07-06

throned ever since the spring of 1861.
Since then there Have been many chm
petitors for the royal diadem. Pork,
beef, lager beer, canned Goldfish balls
Wamsutta muslin, the Beecher-Tilton af-
fair, Mark Twain and other surplus prod
ucts of our country have each been dis
cussed by political economists and social
scientists as the means whereby we must
preserve the balance of trade with the
old world. The wheat crop steps in now
and settles all that. 1t is pleasant to
know also that all other crops are re-
dundant. The grasshopper has retired
from business. 1t is to be hoped that
hereafter when he wishes to disport
himself he will seek new pastures. The
potato bug has been travelling around
in nomadic sort of manner, and putting
in his work when he could, but the potato
crop will delight every son of Erin and
every friend of the SONS of Erin, and that
means everybody. As for fruits, large
and small--so abundant-the only ques-
ton is, what shall we do with them?
We don't take the seductive and soul
searching watermelon into account at all.
But the cherries and blackberries, and
peaches and apples and pears! Their
very redundancy startles us. Is this year
of plenty to be followed by years of fam
inc? The true husbandman always pro-
vides for rainy day.
In discussing our national debt the
other day with gentleman from Ala
bama he remarked that the goober
crop could be made to pay it by proper
cultivation on the waste lands of the Mid
die States. "What are goobers?" "Why,
peanuts" The aggregate crop of the
little insignificant and over-despised lux
ury would pay the interest on our ma
tional debt and produce sinking fund
that would pay the debt itself before it
became troublesome to the unborn heirs
of this generation.
Vague and indefinite as all these calcu
lations may be, it may be adopted as an
axiom that the honest industry of the
people of this country will meet with its
proper reward.
