WASHINGTON NEWS.
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE November
report of the department of agriculture
gives the local yield per acre in October.
In the final report the condition of corn,
which averaged IS, was interpreted to
mean product close to 1000. O00, ,0OO
bushels, and the average yield per acre ap-
pears as 23.l bushels, II bushels per, acre
lower than the yield of 1882. This gives a
result practically identical with that of
October. On the acreage reported in July,
the exact figures would be l,577. 900, 900
bushels. In revision of the season returns.
this result will not be materially changed,
and the product will therefore be about
40, COO, 600 bushels short of the previous
crop, notwithstanding the increased area.
The potato crop is large amounting to 49,
600, 900 bushels.

Prohibition in Iowa

CHICAGO, Nov. Is. The Daily Eue'aing
Capitol has long article on prohibition
prospects in Iowa, in which it assumes that
fifty republican and two greenback votes in
the house are certain to be cast for pro-
hibitory laws, and thinks the opposition is
not certain to exceed forty-fve out of one
hundred members. This estimate is pro-
nounced correct by many other well in
formed men.

Great Fire at Shenandoah.

SHENANDOAH, Pa, Nov. l2- Fire broke
out at noon in the United States hotel, a
large three story frame building, at the
corner of Main and Center streets. The
wind was blowing hurricane at the time,
and continued during the afternoon. The
building was soon enveloped in flames,
which communicated to adjoining buildings
north of Center street. The flames then
communicated to the block on the opposite
side of the street. At o'clock the fronts
of sixteen blocks were destroyed, including
thg United States hotel, Odd Fellows hall
Academy of Music, Herald Office, the Row
opera house, and the Mining Herald and
Evening Neacs offices. Assistance was tele-
graphed for, which was responded to from
Pottsville, Ashton, Tamaqus, Mahoning
City and other places. Many families are
homeless, having.lost everything. The::loss
is estimated at between three quarters and
million dollars. It is impossible TO give
the amount of insurance, but it is supposed
to be large.
But few serious accidents happened. A
young man named George Henton, on his
way home, attempted to jump on passing
engine and had both feet taken off. He
will die.

Tariff.

The labor account as shown by the
tariff commission stands thus: The

amount Of wages paid them $947, ,919,675,

g. The average wages would be for
each $346.O8 per year, or 96 cents per
day, counting every day in the year.
Now, here are 2,738,950 IaborerS en-
ployed in the production Of protected
articles, at an average pay of 96 cents
per day It will be in order to inquire
what becomes Of the forty millions not
employed in producing protected articles
and who constitute the consumers OF
the protected articles and perform at
least ninety percent Of all the labor done
in the United States, and pay to the pro-
ducerS of the protected articles over two
billions of dollars for their projections,
while the entire wages to the labOrerS,
who produce these articles is only $946,-
9I9,674 per year, The consumers Of
these protected articles could save over
one billion Of dollars per year to pay to
the laborers employed in producing the
protected articles to do nothing, and
allow them Ithe consumers to buy where
they could buy the cheapest. At this
very time there has been over seven
hundred thousand immigrants to this
country in the last year to compete with
the American Iaborer and who are en-
IpIoyed by all persons desiring labor of

American has been getting, but by which

equally guilty. They vote for democratic
and republican, for their own enslave-
mG1t and next election they will do as
usual and rivet their own chains. Until
they help us to clean out the Internal
draIn nshops, breweries and beer gardens,
they will never amend their condition a
particle; it would not be amended at all,
while the dramshops rob them, if every
labprer receives SIS for every days work.
In no barbarious age OF. country in
this world has such a monstrous public
crime been perpetrated upon the work
ingmen and the poor as our dram-shop
system. 3~
1t is producing daily harvest of MUIR
der, suicide and all horrible crime, and
if not arrested, the day will soon come
when the crime generated, nursed, fed
into mature strength and activity by the
dram-shop and it's hackers, will sweep
like a cyclone over this fair state and will
produce a reign of terror and blood, far
beyond that of the French guiIIotine
revolution; and thousands Of the innQ-
cent will be swept away with the guilty.
If anyone cannot see that such natu-
raj retribution is certain to follow the
internal tyranny crowded upon our
workingmen by the dram-shop, he must
be blinded indeed. If they should rise
and hang every rum-seIIer it would be
/ no more than an even game; an eye for
an eye. But if it were done thousands
of innocent people would be sacrificed

The Poor 1Tan,s Curse.

There is one thing strikingly true
regarding the condition of the working
men of this city and state, Whenever
a worker is known to be earning dollar,
there is a rumseller licenesd to set up a
grogshop to steal away that dollar assoon
as earned, and the thief is licensed not
only to rob the laborer, but to poison
him by degrees to death-to torture the
laborer'8 wife and children with cold
and hunger, to condemn the workers
children to the street and to, beggary.
And this wholesale robbery and mur-
der Of the workingmen and their fami-
lies, goes on by common consent of the
classes named, who vote every year to
license these man killers for a small pit
tance of money paid into the public
treasury, not one-twentieth Of what the
crime and pauperism produced costs the
people.
All classes are guilty Of completely and
common consent and approval and part
nership in this horrible crime except
that class who are engaged ip the effort
to prohibit the liquor traffic; all who vote
for the continuance of the old whisky
party and their abuses have virtually
conspired. to maintain it whatever they
imagine they were doing. j.
And the workingmen are themselves

ment knows that as prosperity increases
ground rent advances; and. the student
understands that the average. increase of
wealth whether produced by growth of
population, the development of inyen-
ton, or the intensifcation of labor, is
absorbed by ground rent pursuant to a
law Of distribution. Against this law no
resistance can succeed except that which
takes ground rent from the fewand gives
it equally to all. 1t is also an irresistible
law of distribution that as community
tlourlshes the spirit of speculation will
encourage the appropriation to ground
rent of more than the annual increase of
wealth. But when land owners combine
to arbitrarily raise rents, their purpose
may be effectually opposed, And they
are doing this now in New York.
Rents for all kinds of real estate are
being advanced from 20 to 40 per cent.
This is out Of all proportion to the in
crease of prosperity, and it is not justified
by speculation. The inference is plain
that it is the result of combinations But
we are not wholly dependent on infer
ence. We have trustworthy Information
that.a society, of landlords has been
formed, and that the advance of rents is
made pursuant to that society. 1t is a
cold -bIooded scheme to rob labor of all
it can earn above the barest necessities
of the laborer's maintenance.
Provisions are high, and wages are low
and falling; but the ShylOcks demand
more than the pound of 1esh-they
want every drop of blood.
This infamous conspiracy can only be
met by good Judgment, toIdness and
organization. Heretofore, lab0rerS have
struck against their employers; and as
wages are reduced during the coming
spring and summer they will doubtless
! be tempted to renew this futile system
of industrial warfare But let them once
try the policy of striking against land
lords. 1t cannot be more hopeless than
the ordinary labor strike; it may be
more successful. We will not ask for a
