The Wheat Crop.

Crop reports have been received at the
Office of the Secretary of State from 902
correspondents in Michigan, representing
f,85 townships. Five hundred and fifty
six of the returns are from 3S9 town.
ships in the four southern tiers of cOun-
ties. The crop and stock reports return
ed by the supervisors show that the
number of acres of wheat harvested In
1881 was 1894 yielding 20.173,471
bushels of wheat. The number OF acres
of wheat in the ground Ito be harvested
this YEAR, when the assessments were
taken was 1,718,155, and the probable
yield in the state will this year, as
shown by the figures at hand, be 81 .420.-
1874 bushels, or an average 1879 bushels
per acre. Owing to the backwardness
of the season the harvest began from ten
to twenty days later than usual. The
presence Of the hessian fly and other in
sect pests is reported in some sections,
but probably they will emily slightly re-
duce the aggregate product, According
TO the estimates, only about per cent
Of the old crop of wheat yet remains In
the hands of the farmers.
OTHER CROPS.
The condition of corn is IS per cent;
oats, 1903 per cent; barley. 100 per cent
clover meadows and pastures, 81 per
cent; timothy0 meadows and pastures
100 per cent, and clover sOwn tthis year,
IL per cent, as compared with the con-
dition Of the same crops in July, 1881.
Apples promise 81 per cent Of an average
crop, as against 113 per cent June l.
Peaches promise four-fifths of an aver
age crop. Reports have also been re-
ceived Of the quantity Of wheat market
ed by farmers during June at 289 eleva-
tors and mills. The total number OF
bushels reported Is 419,918.

Zyfonate.

One of the most remarkable uses to
which paper has been put Of late years
is the manufacture OF zylonite, a sub
al ance which, at the will of the manu-
facturer. may be made In imitation OF
horn. rubber. ivory, tortoise shell, amber
And even glass. The uses to which zylO-
mite are adaptable are almost infinite,
but perhaps the most extraordinary Is
the manufacture Of cathedral windows.

clause in our editorial on the Chi,
nese question last week, read
ing as follows: "ln the United
States common laborers are either
vicious ard worthless or else they
want to be foremen before they are
competent coal passers." Indigna
ton at the above must have resulted
from a hasty reading or an imper.
feet understanding of it. Perhaps
we did not explain ourself sufficient.
ly. Tnes.na Id.a ampitial means
just this; That every American la
borer who is worthy to be called
American, who has ''snap" enough
about him to amount to anything, is
ambitious to rise. He is not salts
fled to remain in an inferior position
such as is generally filled by Chi.
nese where they can be procured.
The consequence is that these posi-,
tions, if not filed by an inferior
race Of people, must be filed either
by those whose anxiety to rise pre-.
vents them from acquiring a thor.
ough knowledge of the duties re-
quired, or by those who have not
ambition enough to lift them above
vice and worthlessness. The very
principle Of our government, tend.
ing to all equality Of all, fosters this
ambitious disposition to rise. Our
love of money, position, influence,
ETC., have their legitimate fruits.
These are: lst, our children must
learn to walk and talk at an earlier
age than do those of our neighbors,
or we are ashamed of them; I'd, our
children when sent to schools and
colleges are crammed beyond their
years and turned out models of pre-
cocious advancement; Sd, these
children, when they start in life as
men and women, are impatient for
promotion, let their occupations be
what they may. These are gener
al national characteristics. Every.
thing is done on the high pressure
principle. The consequence is that
America has more tradesmen with
trades half learned than perhaps all
the other nations on the globe could
muster-and as to menial occupa
tions, the .aborers here are ashamed
to be found engaged in them, gen
orally speaking. In the older coun
tries, people expect to devote from
five to seven years to learning an or.
dinary trade; but that method is too
slow here; before a young man has
the rudimsnts Of his trade fairly
learned he most likel y wants to take
charge of the concern, or else start
in business for himself. We would
by no means cast aspersions upon
American lsbOrers, because we are
one Of them and in full sympathy
with them, but we feel impellad to
express a few plain truths, unpalat.
able though they be. 1t is matter
Of pride with US that we have earn.
ed our daily bread by honest toll
since our younger boyhood days.
We have today trade at which we
find daily manual labor a necessity
in securing bread and butter-al.
though engaging in calling classed
among the learned professions. Any.
one who accuses us of looking down
upon common labor is mastaken, Cor
effects Of common labor are slammed
on our hands and physical frame.
We regard the hardy sons of toll with
great respect, and count it an honor
to be one of them. We would give
more for the little finger Of an hon.
est laborer than the whole body and
prospects Of kid glOved scion of
so called aristocracy who is engaged
in tryind to g1ta a living out of the
world without earning it. A jour.

The high price OF beef Throughout
the country attracts universal atten-
tion and is the subject of universal
comment because it effects every mans
pocket book. in New York porter
house steak is worth % to 2Sc per
pound; choice cuts, - to 2jc; sirlOin,
% to 25C; chuck roast, II to lSc; round
steak, 20 TO 22c; stewing pieces, 10 to
l2c; rump meat, s to l2c. Spring
lamb, - to 25c; mutton quarters, II
10 14c; mutton chops, II 10 lSc; milk
veal, II to lSc; gross veal, Z to l0c by
quarters; veal outlets, l6 to 35c; chops,
Is to 2Oc; leg and loin, lG to 18c.
These are Washington market prices.
In small butcher shops prices range
still higher, and in county towns "A lit
tie way out from the city are simply
appalling. Thirty.llye cents 4 pound
for good steaks is now not an unusual
price in Long Island and New jersey
villages.
A New York paper says there are
four reasons for the high price Of beef.
The first is the enormous shipments of
beef to Europe. For eight or nine
years past the ,hipments of cattle have
averaged four thousand to five thou
sand per week from Tho three ports of
New York, Boston and Philadelphia.
Cattle were being carried away and
eaten faster than they were being bred.
Not even the vast herds of Texas, Mis-.
souri, and other parts of the far west
can as yet produce cattle enough annu-
ally to keep up with the demand, es'
pecii lily if the production is affected
by any exceptionally unfayorable cir
cumstances. Two winters ego half a
million head of cattle persisted from
cold and hunger in the west. The
third cause was the excessive drOuth
that prevailed last summer and the
summer before. Stock had to be div
en- six or eight miles for water. 1t
was impossible to fatten them or put
any flesh on them. The best that could
be hoped for them was that they would
exist. Then autumn came, and farm
ers found that they were offered such
prices for their corn and hay as paid
them better for selling il than feeding
it TO cattle. Many of them sold their
cattle to the butchers. Others kept
the poor beasts on half rations of hay
and straw, or chopped cornstalks.
When the spring came the cattle were
in no condition for market.

The Turnip Crop.

hlHtIlNau AklNuNullht lOi dulys
No crop makes better returns for la
Dor bestowed than turnips. The seed
may be sowed any time from the first
of June throughout August, in many
localities below the isotheTmal of say
he north line of Connecticut 1t may
be sowed broadcast, in drills or rows.
or as a "cattle crop" among corn; or
turnips may he used to seed to grass
with, sowing both the turnip and grass
seed about August 1st In sowing
turnips broadcast the greatest care
must be taken to have them thin
enough. A pound of seed TO the acre
is all that should be sowed, and this
should he divided, the whole piece be-
ing sOwed twice at right angles. In
Europe the seedsmen use ED aeed
baked, or baked rape seed, to mix with
turnip seed as an adulteratiOn. If we
could buy here such old baked seed SO
as to mix ii Ourselves-say five pOund

Chicago Express,
Let us forecast, if possible, the mean
ing of the present great labor organiza-
tion. Any one can see that, as things
now stand, the workers and producers
of the United States have no govern
ment. A few bankers and lawyers
have got the old government re-patented
and put on wheels with all the modern
appliances of steam and electricity,
and are running it in the interest of
Gould and Vanderbilt and a lot of
other double. electro-plated paupers.
This shuts off the working people and
leaves them out in the cold. So the
working people, unwilling to accept
this position of orphanage, are huddled
together in organizations and hugging
each other up for self protection. AS
they come closer together they see
more and more of each others rights
and a great, beautiful fraternity is
growing up among them, so that one
looking at the situation is forced to ex-
claim, "Thank God for the adversely
that reveals mems hearts to each other
wherein they can see the ties of human
lovingness that will eventually unite
the race in perfect oneness" In this
class the great plan of organization for
self.protection has taken rsot in fertile
soil and it begins to grow. And what
does that growth portendP Let us
trace 1t. Let us trace the vigorous
growth of any highly vitalized plant
among the blighted vegetation of a
past age and see how it draws the life
from the old and the decaying to feed
its own increasing strength until it has
absorbed into its veins every drop of
the subsist tence once devoted to the
worthless weeds surrounding it. 1t is
in this very way that the present labor
organization is growing. 1t is putting
down nothing; it is making war on
nothing; it is simply finding its own
and holding on to it. 1t has taken a
stand, planting the roots of its cause
in the subsoil of eternal justice; and it
is aggregating from every source the
force which by the laws of affinity be-
longs to 1t. 1t strikes at nobody's
rights, but simply stands in the majes-
ty of quiet resolve upon its own. And
it is growing. Mark this; it is growing
every day, not only in numbers, but
the individuals composing those num-
bers are growing. At the workbench,
molding brick, rolling iron, chiselling
rock, wherever the laborer lifts hand,
there thought life Ia busy and sledge.

German Emigration.

hWIOllt lNVVuuNahs
From the detailed tables put forth
by the statistical bureau of the en-
pire, it appears that the total ascer-
tanned emigration across the seas from
Germany, during the eleven years end
ing with 1881, was sos, ,698. In 1871
it was 1892, but rose to 1875, $50 in
1872 and l03 63S in 1873, then dropped
to As, 1l2 in 1874, and kept on declin.
ing until 1880, when it bounded from
33 1927 to l06,190, and tC 2le,547 in
1881. These figures cover only the
ports of Bremen, Hamburg, Antwerp
and Stettin, and are thus admittedly
incomplete, 1j,755 Germans heing
known to have departed from Havre
de Grace alone in 1889. The only
countries besides this which draw any
considerable number are Brazil and
Australia, but the total emigration to
those during the eleven years-23,006
to Brazil and 10,647 to Austialia-was
considerably less than one.half the
average yearly emigration to the
United States, so that the movement
to this country is nearly the entire
across-seas movement of the German
people. The total ascertained number
coming here during the eleven years
was 762,33l, aud the total for 1881 is
estimated at 100000. the four ports
having sent out 209,1S9. OF the total
number going out, this country took
1852 per l,000 Brazil, 385; Austria
lia, 1872, leaving only l2.1. for all other
countries. Notwithstanding this emf
grafton the population of the German
empire shows steady increase, while
that Of France, with very little smigra'
tion, remains nearly stationary,
