Wyoming as a desert, yet, with irriga-
ton u soil a discount most OF the
so-called agricultural district in the
east. For instance, Nj. Dougherty,
living on the Little Laramie, raised

bages on three-fourths of an acre of
ground. This makes his crop worth
about $3.50 per acre, the market price
on the sauer kraut vegetable being four
cents per pound.

HIGH PRICES, Low WAGES AND BIG
TAXES.

The National Government is taxing
the people to the extent of $40, OOO,O OOa
year.
One Hundred and Fifty Millions
tSl5O,0O0,O 900 of this sum is surplus
revenue'-nOt needed for the expenses
Ofthe government.
There are about 500, 900, 900 of money
now lying in the Treasury, around
which jobbers and subsidizers are hover
ing like crows around carrion.
CHANDLER and ROBESOS want to
spend $500, 600, 900 for navy; ARTHUR
wants the privilege of discussing s., OOO,-
900 along the banks of the Mississippi;
EADS wants five or six millions for ex-
perimeuting on the Isthmus; hun
bred maws are open to swallow up the
surplus and perpetuate taxation.
We've got it, and why not spendlt ?'
In the meantime the labOring classes
in all departments are unable to provide
for their families in consequence Of the
high prices to which excessive tariffs
and taxation contribute. Strikes are
the order of the day.
Congress passes a diliatory measure,
OStensibly for the purpose of reforming
the tariff; but refuses to incorporate in
it, or make any other provision for abol-
ishing or even reducing internal taxes.
"a rich government" says the New
York Herald, truly, means an impov-
erished nation. Every dollar on the
Treasury books is dollar taken out of
somebody's pocket. The Republican
party, as a party, stands committed to
this system Of national spoilation. \
large number Of Democrats have been
so unwise and selfish as to vote with the
Republican majority and thereby rob
their own party Of one of its strongest
and most vital issues"
High prices, low wages and big taxes
is the dose which modern statesman
ship prescribes for the masses of the
people.

THEY are making the same COM
plants about the price of beef over at
GAINESVILLE that are heard in this locali-
ty. Many of the butchers are going out
Of the business. The Enterprise ex-
plains the situation thus:
1.-THE chief reason for the scarcity of
cattle in this neighborhood was the
drought of last year, which so shortened
the crops that the farmers could not
carry the usual number over winter,
and were compelled to sell; still farther
induced, no doubt, by the far greater de-
mand in the Eastern markets aud con-
sequently higher prices for shipped
stock. Another reason for the scarcity
arises from the fact that one year ago
last summer, two of our largest stock
buyers bought up all the calves that
could he obtained throughout the coun-
" and shipped them west, to Kansas
and Nebraska, to replenish the farms,
much ofthe stock having been destroyed
by the severity of the previous winter.
The cattle bought for this market will
vary in weight from 700 to 200 pounds,
and the price paid is from ) to conts. y

Is the title of new and valuable work
which the distinguished biographical
writer, P. c. HEADLEY, is issuing from
the press. II contains suceinct biogra-
phies Of the President and Vice Presi-
dent Of the United States, the retiring
and incoming members of the Cabinet,
the United States Senators and mem-
bers of the House Of Representatives,
the Chief Justice and Justices of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
and the Governors of the several States.
We are glad to observe that the au-
thor has avoided the faults Of many
former biographers, and, instead Of
merely eulogiZing his subjects, has
written genuine biographical history,
giving q faithful account of the private
life and public services of each of our
representative meny irrespective Of
party.
The work is comprised in one large
octave volume of 500 closely printed
pages, with more than 800 half-page
portraits Of the subjects on steel and
wood. Among the number We notice
elegant pictures of Governor Jackson
and our Senators. The portraits are
exceedingly life-like, and add much to
the value and attractivenesso of the book.
1t thus affords an opportunity, never
before enjoyed, of studying the faces
and outlines of character of our public
men, and furnishes in addition q large
amount of valuable information con-
corning the machinery OF the United
