An elaborate calculation has recently
been made by Mr.. Edward Atkinson, 4
noted statistician Of Boston, showing the
cost of a loaf of bread made at the east
from the grain, grown on the fields of
iowa or Dakota, and how the cost is dis
trlbuted. This history of the cost OF q
loaf of bread is a very interesting and
ingenious one, and at the same time
very simple. Of the value of 100 barrels
Of -four, $500 goes to the Dakota farmer,
the freight to Boston will be 1897 so: the
the barrels will cost SIS, the grinding
$50, and the commissions and carriage,
$50, n aking the tot Il cost of the hundred
barrels of flour $6s2.5b when tire flour
reaches Boston The baker then takes
the hundred barrels Of -four and adds
500 worth of oven-heat and yeast and
$500 worth Of labor, 80 that when the
-four goes into the shop for sale in the
shape Of s, 900 loaves of bread it has cost
81 .092 50-an equivalent of l-2 cents
pound. For this bread the baker or the
retail dealer gets z cents a pound; that
is to say, the baker and grocer in Bos-
ton get about one half of the money
paid for barrel of flour, the farmer
gets q fifth, the railroads one-tenth, the
miller, merchant and cooper one four:
teenth. Mr.. Atkinson's object in this
calculation seems to have been two-fold
first, and most important, to show the
poor people of this country who live
from hand to mouth that their bread
costs them about double what it would if
they should make it at home; and, secon-
dly, that the most ofthe profit on q loaf of
breau does not 60 to the farmers and to
the railroads. ~.

who believes that official State atvtr-

wish it distinctly understood that We

were it not that the business Interests Of

Gratis are interested in all that pertains
h. insurance matters In the State, but
Commissioner Douglass seems TO act as
il only Democrats were specially inter.
ested or had any right to know what
protection they had in the insurance
laws of the State, and hence publishes
the insurance statutes only in Demo-
cratic papers.
Mr. Douglass should whip ont his
red bandana, wipe the dust off his
spectacles and take a more liberal ard
advanced business view Of that which
concerns the whole people more than a
couple Of Democratic papers. In these
days when Mr.. Causey, . Democratic
Secretary of State, and Mr.. Deakyne, q
Democratic sealer Of weights and
measures, send official notices to a Re-
publican paper, 1t Is no time for a
Democratic State insurance Commis-
eioner to follow the miserable old hide
bound policy Of confning State official
advertisements only to Democratic
papers, which reach but SINAI moiety
of the property holders OF Wilmington.

Forest Preservation.

President Arthur evidently believes
that the existence OF our streams OIL
.,o5.:. .o.,xo ,no, thAl
preservation Of the forests, or else he
would not have recommended that .
part of Northern Montana, where GER
tain tributaries of the Missouri and
Columbia rivers head, be set apart and
held In permanent forest to preserve
the integrity of those streams. This
particular region lies north Of Flathead
lake and is traversed by the main divide
Of the Rocky Mountains and tnree or
four other ranges To tho west Of and
parallel to it Is still unsettled and can
never be available for profitable sgri.
culture. We have frequently sdvo-
cated the adoption OF some policy which
would preserve our forests, principally
becaus, lumber was getting scaNer and
dearer, but If it Is settled fact that the
destruction of our forests depletes our
streams, then there is double reason
why Congress should interfere and do
something to preserve both our forests
and rivers. The commerce in lumber
is one OF the things to which the free
trade policy, SO strongly advocated by .
large minority OF the people, could be
applied without detriment to the true
business interests ofthe country. Were
it not for the tariff on lumber the Ca.
madam provinces would supply the
country for many years 10 come with a
superior quality Of lumber at cheaper
rates than are now paidfor that brought
from our own American forests.
The lumber country Of Canada is prac-
tically untoucL ed yet by the woodman's
axe,and only awaits the removal Of the
specific duties imposed by Congress to
supply the country. This would check
the lumber manufacture In our own
country, but that il Just what Is wanted.
The destruction Of our American for
ests should be Immediately checked.
Canada is waiting to supply us and 1t
would be Int short remove for those
engaged in manufacturing lumber In
this country to pick up their traPpings
and establish themselves on the other
ride of the line. This great woodland
tract to which President Arthur refers
now belongs to the government, and II
Congress waits longer until loggers es-
tabish their camps there and the tribu-
tari-s of the Flathead are used to raft
down the spruce or oak and pine Of that
region, the occupied woodland will need
to be bought back by the Government
at a greatly increased price. 1t is evi,
dent that sUlf-preservation will ulti.
mately make the necessity for holding
this and other areas in forest plain.

tai divide shall be reserved il forests IL
