even upon the lowest estimate, the

very little which valuation isadopted.
Ifany reader thinks that 500 per
annum il too high an estimate, let
him boldly strike Off % per cent, and
the balance will be found amply large
enough to Justify all our conclusions.
For our American statistics we are
chiefly indebted to that valuable COM

for 1870" by Mr.. A. II, Spoiford, to
which we beg to refer those who
may doubt the aeenmeyof our figures.

APPENDIX.

In order 10 insure all possible aeen-
raey in the estimate Of the ycarly
expenditure OF the American .rHner5
and their families, the writer printed
and distributed among those persons
whom be deemed nost competent 10

at would greatly assist the under
sigaed in the completion OF z little
work. on which he is engaged, IL you
wonld kindly give him the best esli-
mate in your power In relation to the
following subject.
"By the census of 1870 there we've
in the United States Of America, out
of a population of $500, 900, a total
of II SOC, 900 persons engaged in va
rious occupations. or these 5,922,-
900 were engaged in agriculture,
which number has by thistime t880)
increased to at least I 900, 600.
aAn estimate is wanted Of the an
nual average expenditure of each Of
these 2, 900, 900 (mosf of whom have
famiIies) on all articles Of consump-
ton, except eatables and drinkables.
Those articles W uld comprise every
description Of clothing, household
ware, tools, agricultural implements,
railway conveyance, etc, etc.
flOf course strict accuracy is un-
attainable, and all calculations must
necessarily be conjectaral and approx
imatiye.
ssIt may. be noted
81. That by 9agricuituralisfs' arc
meant, not only NJ cereal farmers,
but the producers of all articles de-
rived from the soil, whether grain OF
cotton, meat or tobacco, etc, etc.
t2. That there are in the United
States 100000 farmers, who, most
of them, own the soil which they till,
and whose annual expenditure must
be considerable.
tt3. That the wages Of farm labor
ers in the North and West, range
(see an article in the Times Of 2Gth
August, 1879 from 5000 monthly
(236 per annum,) to s38.22 monthly
| (S458 per annum). In the South, ,un-
der the competition of negro labor.
wages are only SIS monthly $3.50
per annum.
s4. That, as food and lodging cost
the farmers and Iaborers but little.
most of their expenditure falls on the
articles Of consumption comprised in
this inquiry. The question, there
fore is, what is the average yearly
expenditure, on such articles, Of each
of those 100000 persons in the
United states of America, who are
engaged Inagricultural pursuits, some
of whom are single, but most Of whom
have families p It Will be esteemed

HOW TO PUT e STOP TO THESE ISToLER.
ABLE LOSSES.
Fortunately, great as is the griey-
ance, its removal is easy. The rem
edy is in the farmers own hands. II
lies in the exercise of its voting pow
er. 1t Is simply this: Let the Amer
ican farmers give their support to no
candidate for seat in the House OF
Representative who does not pledge
himself, If elected, to propose, or at
least to vote for, ga reduction of 5
per cent every successive year on the
import duties, till the whole are abol
ished." Never mind what party he
may belong to. The relief of the
farmers from an intolerabIe burden is
not, cannot be, and must not be a
papty question. It is a paramount
and inevitable measure which comes
before, oyerrides, and casts into the
shade all party distinctions. To re-
fuse the abolition of the tarifT is to
refuse justice to the agricultnralists.
Ii amounts to a persistence in the
iniquity of confscating the farmers
property Up with the tariff means
down with the fdfmert
Il it be said that abrogation of the
tariff would suppress one of the
sources of State revenue, the West
ern farmers ready reply would be,

uow Austrian Iaale. Learn 90 cool..


The Austrian lady of station who
does not know now 10 cook, one may
almost say does not exist. Every detail
of the cuisine she Is acquainted with.
4 story is told by Austrian lad e. oil
another who. having neglected her
education, allowed at u great dinner
party sheg two dishes OF the same
color 10 DO served In succession, n
fault for which she was hardly 10 bc
forgiven. The princesses Of the royal
household attend Il course of lectures
from "chef' entirely upon the order
OF serving. Young ladies' do not learn
the ART Of cooking at cooking clubs,
or from public lessons, ~ here In
America, aud they rarely learn in
their own kitchens. IL Is the custom
to 90 TO scme great house, the house

where there are famous nchefs," from
whom they learn. When "chef'
engages t. cook for great house, he
stipuiates that he Is TO have the
privilege Of teaching as many young
ladies as he chooses. These young
ladies need not even knowthe mistress
OF the house, and they make ihei-
engagements with the cook only.
For course OF lessons lasting
through the sinfer each pupil pays
the cook 30 gulden, about SIS.
This includes Instructions in every
particular. IT a banqHet IS 10 be
/ given, agrand brcakfastor an elaborate
supper, the young ladies are notified,
and are there 10 see the dishes decora-
ted and to learn the order or serving.
They watch every process. Were
yOn to descend TO q kitchen at sveh
time you would no doubt find these
girls suifused with bushes, for these
lessons always fOreteII marriage, and
are the last and finishing touches ola
maiden's education. But 1t wsuld
be breachof etiquet for any member
Of the household to trespass In that
department. which belongs to the
cook and his noble young pupils.
Since young ladies must be In the
dining room themselves on such oe-
casions in their own household, it fol-
lows that these processes they cannot
watch at home never mind on how
grand a scale things are. And so in
Austria all noble young ladies learn
these things in another Kitchen than
their own. --Hotet MaH.
