The MADISON SrREEr GRADE.-The
famous Madison street grade occupied
the attention Of the City Council for an
hour last night, but finally went over to
another meeting without definite action.
A paper was presented by p. II. Lewis,
owner OF two lots on the street, in which
he virtually declares that the assessment
was improperly, illegally and incom-
pletely made, aud asks that his lots be
taken from the roll. Another petition
was put in by l.. b. Andrews and Others,
In which the roll presented by the As
SCISSOR was objected t. and another more
fair asked in its stead. The trouble il
just this: To please q few persons liv-
ing ont in the woods, or on Lake Wash
ington, an extended Improvement of
Madison street has been ordered, an i'm
provement reaching far out into the
timber, exceedingly costly in its nature,
and for which there was but the small
ees actual call. The petitioners signed
the request, under the assurance that il
was going 10 DO great benefit to them,
that IL would cost about fifteen or TWEEN
~ thousand dollars, and that the assess-
mont district would include property
valued In the aggregate ct $4,000. In
this they we're deceived. The cest will
be fully double. the assessment will be
less than half, while the only real town

1t is not well to be everlastingly
comparing the agricultural South
with the manufacturing North. The
North has its advantages and its great
disadvantages as well. The South has
her drawbacks, but likewise her great
advantages. On the whole the people
Of the South are happier, more con-
tented and lead more even lives than
the conglomerated mass of nationali-
ties which at present forms the North
ern people. But we would not reject
anything which experience has proved
to be good among Northern institu-
tons. One of these which has stood
the test and whose utility has been
demonstrated is the savings bank
In New York alone there are 500, 900
depositors In saving banks, whose
savings amount to $232, 080, 000,-
During the last year this army of de-
positors was increased by nearly thir--
teen thousand recruits, who added
their mite of $4,000, 900. These are
farmers, farm laborers, mechanics,
artisans and generally persons who
have no large capital but make small
earnings; many OF them are women,
servants, cooks, etc. They make their
little deposits and the banks are so
carefully looked after by the State
authorities that losses are very rare.
If the Southern States had such a
system how great would be the in
ducement to thrift-to saying--in
order that competency might be
secured against the time of old age.
And besides, what blessing it would
be to the South if there we're so much
aggregated capital which could be
utilized In industrial enterprises.

The Kansas City Times says the
way to cause produce to bring good
price is to foster manufacturing es-
adjustments and other industries,
thereby giving employment to many
millions of men, who thus become
consumers wholly. A purely agricul-
tural people is wholly dependant upon
the people of other more favored
countries, where there are diversified
interests fostered, for a market for
such products as they may have to
SELL Why is farm located near q
large manufacturing town worth more
than one fifty or q hundred miles
awayp Simply because the large
number of consumers in these manu-
featuring establishments must be fed,
and the farmer finds a ready market
for all the products of his acres.

The same is true with respect to bar
ley grains" distillers' slops, and badly
preserved ensilage is dss0ays sour. The
degree of aciditY and quantity Of aleo-
hol developed depend upon the amount
OF air permeating it. All that relates to
ensilage and silos Is steadily coming to
q common-sense level. The extravagant
claims of eighty and ninety tons Of fod-
der-corn to the acre have been toned
down more than hall, and the idea that

transforming matter to make an imper-
fact p~n tfnu IN tfo al .o~,d;]I~.~ u l.
by some hocus-poeus in the silo, con-
verted into a perfect and wen-balaneed
food, Is giving way to the more sensible
opinion that fodder-corn In silo is as
one-sided food as it Is out, snd that
variety in ensilage is Just as important
as in other fodder.
The exact tests which have been made
OF It's feeding value have none of them
placed it higher than the same food
dried or fed from the field, while some
have made it lower, and the crucial
tests OF its effects upon the quality of
milk have shown It to be inferior to the
same food fed sweet instead of sour.

The total foreign commerce of the
United States as shown by the above
figures is larger than in any previous
year. And they win continue to in
crease. They must do so. Looking
at the matter philosophically, it ap-
pears that the United States is destin-
ed to supply Europe with nearly all
her cotton and with still greater
quantity of provisions. These COM
pose the bulk Of our exports. Soon
our manufactures which are now suf-
fering for the want of market will
demand liberty to seek sales in other
countries. The tariff will be read
justed with that view. Our crippled
manufacturing interests will then feel
the great benefit of a new impulse
and American goods viii enter into
competition with foreign manufac-
lures on the markets of the world
Our industries will flourish as never
before. We viii send abroad vast
amounts of shoes, hats, cotton and
wooden goods, ETC., and our exports
viii be still more largely increased.
We cannot export unless we import.
We cannot sell unless we get pay
Imports must come in. They must
come in to pay for what we send out.
The next decade, then, in our judg-
ment, will witness the greatest pros
perity and glory ever attained by
America.
