again under similar conditions
The characteristic restlessness of the nation
extends even to its grain-Dags. It inhabits
only those of American make in foreign

restricted by the 40 per cent. duty exacted
by discriminating government. Yet, IN

I Most of them hail from the Pacific slope.
Grain sent East from California TO cross the
Atlantic comes sacked from the fields, be-
cause Of the lack of canal transportation in
the Golden State. The bags in which it is
carried seldom make the return trip, the rea,
son being that they are made to hold hun
dred-pound weight, or less than two bushels,
while the standard eastern grain-bag holds
three bushels. Then there are the aristo
cratic bags that carry grain to Portugal, the
Canary Islands and the West Indies These

According to all accounts the workingmen
of Paris are not in a very fourishing condi-
ton. It is estimated that about a quarter of
million of them live now in night lodgings,
and never succeed in obtaining any thing like
permanent employment. Discomfort among
them grows stronger and stronger, and be-
gins to alarm the government as well as the
municipality. All sorts of propositions are
being discussed, with view of taking care
of this floating and dangerous population.
But nothing, of course, can be devised with
out large expenditure of money, of which
the city of Paris has none. Her debt has
been constantly increased till it has become
larger than that of any other city in the
world. Out of the fifty odd millions of dol
lars comprising the yearly municipal revenue
some twenty millions are absorbed by the in
terest and sinking fund of the city debt. OF
the remaining thirty millions not dollar can
be spared for building purposes, and tbs only
resource is, accordingly, in new loans. The
revenue cannot be increased, for two-thirds
of it comes from the octroi, or municipal
custom duties upon articles of daily con-
sumption, and any increase of this tax can
only increase the cost of living of the very
classes whose sufferings the government is
anxious to alleviate. When the workingmen
of Paris get hungry they are dangerous.

Some time ago a correspondent of the
JOURNAL AND COURIER called attention to the
fact that China was prepared to be great
military power and gave some Interesting
information concerning her military ar
rangements. What he said about China and
her policy is supported by some remarks
which have recently been made by the Chi
nese charge d'affaires at Paris. This gentle
man is represented as inclined to smile
when told that his nation could not cope
with a European power. Since 1860 the
Chinese army has been supplied with Krupp
guns, fleet of ships equipped in Europe
while the Foo Choo arsenal is directed by
engineers from the French navy. The Eng
hsh, he says, took Pekin during civil war;
and moreover the kingdom of Anam is pref
ty well united against the French. China
will probably be found well able to take
care of herself when the necessity for doing
SO comes.

Grain-bags when filled on the ship are
sewn up, not tied with a string. The pay
for sewing comes out of the profit of the
loaner. 1t is done by special classes of men
who have trade unions, with headquarters in
this city-the holders and the sewers. All
told their number exceeds slightly hundred
They work in gangs of four holders and four
sewers. The holders fill the sacks, two at
the time, with the grain, which, having been
blown, screened and weighed in the elevator,
runs into the hold of the ship through spouts
with double shut off, and turn the filled
sacks over to the sewers, who stitch them
together with sailmaker's needle, cutting
the double stran1 at the last stitch with a
peculiar twist of its eye.
Two hundred bags an hour is fair work for
New York sewer, who boasts that he can
outstrip his Boston or Baltimore neighbor
two to one. Five dollars is his days pay,
when he has chance to earn it. When he
hasn't, which is rather the rule than the ex
ception except in the fall, he is to be found
1ounging about the grain merchants offices
down town. Shippers contract for his worl
with his bosses at II cents for each bag ht

The Democratic party holds about the
same relation to the tariff question that the
boy whom President Lincoln used to tell
about held to coon. A boy away out west
caught econ and tanned it to considerable
extent, but the animal created such mischief
about the house that his mother ordered him
to take it away and not to come home until
he could return without his pet. The boy
went down town with the coon, secured with a
strong piece of twine, and in about an hour
he was found sitting on the edge of the curb
stone holding the coon with one hand and
crying as though his heart would break. A
big hearted gentleman who was passing
stopped and kindly inquired "Say, little
boy, what is the matter ?'' The boy wiped
tear from his eye with his sleeve, and in an
injured tone howled, ''Matter! Ask me
what's the matter You see that coon there ?
Well, don't know what to do with the darn
thing. I can't sell it, can't kill it, and ma
won't let me take it home"

THE BURLAP,

The stout burlap grain-bag of the trade that
is turned out of New York manufactures at
an average cost of 10 cents, 81 being q wom-
ans pay for days work of $50 bags, is
loaned to grain shippers at rate of pay for
single trip across the ocean reaching nearly
one-half its value. 1t win last for from four
to dozen round trips, thus earning its own
cost several times over. Yet the risk and ex-
pense of handling is SO great to ship-owners
that to borrow even at this enormous interest
pays better than to buy
All grain laden vessels leaving New York
carry portion of their cargo in bags for
the safety of the ship. English laws require
this portion to be at least onethird of the
whole Grain in bulk shifts easily, and were
a vessel to be thrown on its beam ends would
swamp it. In case of need, bags, too, can be
more easily flung overheard. Hence the
rate of insurance is affected by the proper
ton of the cargo carried in bags.
In brisk seasons, therefore, enormous
than 10, 600, 600. In one brisk season sin
gle firm loaned 3, SOC, 900 bags. Upon their
arrival on the other side they are collected
by agents of the owners, pressed into huge
bales and returned by the next steamer with
a certificate from the American consul that
they are truly native bags Thus recon-
mended they pass through the custom house
duty free. if the figures agree with the clear
ance papers of the date of their departure,
and are here overhauled, patched where the
rats have gnawed and made ready for their
next tour of duty. Usually they have not
long to wait
Since February this year the bag loaners
of New York have sent out more than a mil
lion bags. Sailing vessels carry betimes as
many as 10000; some steamers twice that
number.
