HOW IT'S DONE.

An Illinois farmer propounded to the
editor of the Tere Haute Express, the fol-
lowing query
"Will you please give us little more
light as to how we are to sell our wheat in
Europe for 81 90 in gold, when it Is worth
$500 in Greenbacks here, and do pros
porous business"
And here is the answer mo farmer
sells his wheat in Europe at any price. He
sells to middlemen, or international traders.
The trader buys, say 100000 bushels of
wheat, for which he pays $2,0OO0OO in
greenbacks. He takes his cargo to Liver.
pool and sells it for $l,000,00O in gold.
With his 100000 he purchases such
goods as are salable in America. When he
| arrives with his cargo in New York, it hav.
ing cost him 100000 in greenbacks, he
puts such price upon his goods as will en-
able him to get his money back, with a
profit"
And upon such stuff as this does the Ex.
press feed its greenback readers. The
idea that a trader may as a convenient and
usual business transaction, invest $1,000.
900 in English goods, bring them to New
York, pay the duty on them, and then sci
them at price that viii put about $4,000.
600 in his pocket-that any trader may dc
this, when English manufacturers are un
able to pay duty and successfully compel,
| with American manufacturers 50 pre
posterous that it is matter of surprise
that even greenback editor can honestly
entertain it.

Tiers on Indiana's soil had, sixty years ago,
placed their $27,OOO,000 at 7 per cent. in
ierest adding the accumulations Of each
wear to the principal, Their aggregate
wealth would now amount to $l,941 BAG
600. or 81, O05, 552,955 more than all the
property now in the state is worth.
1t has been nearly two three-quarter cen
turies since jamestown, Virginia, was col
onized. Had Captain Newport, who headed
the colony, placed at that time single dol
lar at 10 per cent. interest, by the present
time it would have amounted to over 1S0
billions of dollars-a sum equal to more
than five times the total value of all prop
erly, real and personal, IN the nation.
Estimating that the outfit of Columbus
cost the small sum of $4,000, at Q per cent
annual compound interest, it will be found
to have amounted, since 1902, to the vast
sum OF $80,OO0,oOO,O 10000 trillions.
Allowing the entire population of North
and South America to be ninety millions
this vast sum of money would give $685.

Suppose it were possible to fund the ma.

could pay the annual interest on the bond
ed debt would be.by selling additional 4 PEI

Before the child now smiling in hi.
mothers arms would be out of his teen:
the national debt would be doubled. By
the time he had made himself a snus
home, thirty-fvc years hence, the deb
would be quadrupled. When the man had
become old enough TO celebrate his golden
wedding, seventy years from the present
time, the national debt would have accum-
ulated to the enormous amount of 30 bill
lions; and the interest alone, at per cent,
would be over one and quarter billions

WONDERFUL FIGURES.

The following calculations were made by
the editor of an Indiana paper to illustrate
the ll-gobbling results OF usury;
The island upon which New York stands
was bought from the Indians for the sum of
$24, and no doubt the purchaser thought
he had made fine investment, especially
if he dreamed of the future commercial i'm,
portancc Of the property purchased. This
was only about two hundred and fifty years
ago. And yet if the purchaser had put his
1874 at interest, where he could have added
to the principal annually at the rateof 7 per
cent, the accumulation would exceed the
present value ofthe entire city and county
of New York
The state OF Indiana contains 81 ,G31, 100
acres Of land, which, at government price,

WHEN it commenced raining IN St.
Louis, last Monday, ten boys playing near
the track of the Iron Mountain road be-
tween Park avenue and Miller street, took
refuge under neighboring freight train.
They had been there but short time when
switch train was backed against the
cars under which they were seated. They
were first appraised of their danger by seeing
the car move Six of the boys scrambled
out and escaped injury, but the remaining
four were caught and badly crushed, two
of them fatally. Nobody's to blame for
this shocking occurrence, but the boys
themselves; but the affair certainly suggests
the necessity of further precautionary
measures on the part of the railroaders.
The company certainly should require that
trains left Standing as this had been, on the
streets of q city, for many hours in sue
cession, should not be moved until the men
in charge satisfy themselves by personal
inspection, that no damage will ensue tt

THE Philadelphia papers were sorely
tried when the news went out that Dixon
had been killed by Barksdale, because he,
Dixon, persisted in running for an Office
that somebody else wanted. The dispatch
received by them was dated jackson,
Michigan, and located the tragedy in Yazoo
City, Michigan. The appalled, Faber driv-
ers itched all over to denounce the internal
outrage; but the annoying fact stared them
in the face that its venue was in the rtfn
pant Republican State of Michigan, where
everything is supposed to be shaped
according to the high moral
ideas of modern stalwsrtlsm. Their better
natures prompted them to stigmatize the
affair as damnable outrage; but to heed
these promptings would place the Repub-
lican State of Michigan in most unenyiable
light before the public. Governed 10y this
consideration, the telegraphic account OF
the tragedy was published; bu; no, single
Republican in the Quaker City INDUCED in
single word OF reproof, depreciation or
denunciation. Next day, however, dis
patches were received, bearing the correct
date jackson, Mississippi
and then the way in which
these Conscientious Philadelphians
pitched into the damnable Democratic
butchery," was simply amazing. Their en-
tire catalogue of vi;uperatiye adjectives was
exhausted, and contemplating the affair in
undiminished horror they sought express
sion of their adherence by use of excla-
nation points end furious CALCULATIONS. As
Mich" affair it was to be passed over in
silence AS Miss" affair, the English
language was beggared of its hot, singing
words, in the attempt to portray its fendish
character.
