National Stockman.
When the volume of our export trade
IN cereal and live stock products is
compared with the totals produced at
home, 1t seems almost wonderful that
the small percentage which goes abroad
should have an appreciable effect in
regulating home prices. But it not
only has a clearly recognizable effect,
but 1t Is pronounced to be a powerful
influence in establishing current mar
ket values. Observation will quickly
convince any one that this is the case.
Ii 10 per cent. of our choice beeves are
exported, the 80 per cent which are
sold at home 90 to the consumer at
prices exactly regulated by what the
exports can be made to bring in foreign
markets. In order to secure the stock,
the exporter will pay in Chicago or
New York just what he is satisfied the
Liverpool market will warrant, and the
modicum which goes abroad is made
the guide in fixing the value of the vast
herds of similar or approximate quail
1ty which weekly vanish in the domes-
tic SHAMELESS. The same is true of
wheat, or of any crop of which we
grow a surplus for export. The home
market is just as high as the
foreign one will allow it to be
and no higher. Taking all our ex-
portable products together, less than
per cent. goes to foreign mar
ket-and yet that trifiing percentage is
the arbiter almost absolutely of cost to
the American consumer. This is also
true to some extent, though not as
largely, of products which are not
grown among us in sufficient quantities
to supply the needs of home consump-
ton, and which we are compelled to
import. If brought into our own mar
kets to sell, such an article will bring
just what competition among our own
purchasers will determine, and we are
largely the regulators of its value. If
we 60 abroad to buy it competition with
consumers from all over the world is
the measure of price, and we must buy
at current figures or do without.
Whether we export or whether we i'm
port, therefore, we can not be wholly
Independent of other countries even in
the ruling values of our home. markets. |
The small comparative aggregate which
goes out, and the smaller one which |
comes in, are among our most potent
commercial influences. These are facts
which furnish plenty of food for profita-
able reflection to those who care to
thread the mazes of political economy
"a science which, more than almost
any other, our people carefully study.

Artistic Uair-Cutting.

"D'ye cut hair il the Longtree bang
here?' asked plain woman with thin,
gray hair, pasted down on her hollow
cheeks, blind bridle fashion.
'Yes'm; we cut the Langtry bang"
answered young lady with a golden
couture and black eyelashes; ''would
you like to have yours cut?"
THAT | would said the woman,
skinning off a last years bonnet, and
following the hair artist in. She was
soon seated in a chair in front of a
large mirror which made her look four
times as old and twice as ugly as she
did at home
Il don't want it cut real fashion
able" she said. as the girl wrapped
calico mantle over her shoulders and
took out one by one the few well-worn
hairpins that held back wisp in place.
MY darter had her n cut, an she's al
luz sayin', You do look so unfash' ma
bic. Say, what do you do with the
hair that's cut off?'
Throw it away unless you want it. "
81 g-u-e-ss | mought as well hev it.
I'd like to send some of it back East.
My hair was raving black when / come
West, but time changes US all. Say!
don't make it too short"
Would you like to have it curled af-
ter it's cut?"
EFF it doesn't cost any more l used
to have real nice ringlets when / was
gal. Wore 'em all around with a pink
bow on the top of the head. Didn't
think anything of pinnin' it right on to
the scalp. Mercy! who's that? My
darter won't know me from side of
sole leather"
'.It's great improvement, said the
girl as she picked out the last gray
curl.
'.Is itP' asked the woman as she
stared at herself in the glass. 81 don't
know as | kin tell ally, but its p COM
fort to look different to what hev for
the last twenty year. Seems to me
tho as f there was no fools like old
fools. Any all how, 1 deu hope it will
please my darter."
And the woman put on her bonnet
and went out. The face that had look
ed plain in the serene bands of parted
hair assumed a strange and neyer-to-
be-forgotten expression tied up in that
Quakerish bonnet, with curled layer
of fringe piled high above the spare
features creased and crossed with lines
of care and disappointment Nor was
it any CHASTITY attempt to coquette with
time, but an unselfi5h regard for the
interests of that daughter at home, that
led the good woman to lay herself on
the altar of sacrifice as a wearer of the
Langtry bang.-Detr0it Free Press.

Soaring a MaSher.

Talk about pretty giris-but she was
a wild-hower and no mistakei She got
on the train to 90 over 10 Meridian from
Vicksburg, and she was all alone.
There was sort of sidelong movement
among five or six men, but a drummer
for a Philadelphia saddlery house got
there first. He grabbed up his grip
and walked square up to her seat and
took possession of it without asking a
question, and in ten minutes he seemed
to be perfectly at home. She answered
his questions briefly, and he had the
hardest kind of work to keep up con-
versation, and as the train approached
Jackson, she suddenly said:
Il want to telegraph papa from here.
VIII you help me?'
''Oh, certainly. l have blank in
my pocket. Write your telegram and
I will run into the office with it. ~
We missed him when the train start
ed, but by and by he was found in an
other car, his hat crushed down and
his nerves all on edge. When asked
what had happened he drew forth the
telegram which the girl had requested
him to hand in. 1t read:
Bring your shotgun with you to pop
over a drummer who has dreadfully
annoyed me. Shoot to kill"
40 think" he gasped, 'that one so
fair could be so murderous. Why, I'm
all in sweat; l want some of you TO
stand by me-"
We got his grip from the seat, traded
hats and coats with him, and the way
he slid from the depot when the train
reached Meridian, caused hotel porter
to observe:
well, now, but that white face be-
longs to an invalid and them legs to a
deer. What sort of coon can he be?"

He was 2 dude of the extreme kind

He was dude of the extreme kind.
He couldn't have been more so. His
overcoat was short, his undercoat long,
his collar high, his trousers so tight that
it would seem he must have creased his
legs to get into them, his shoes pointed.
AS he entered the reading-room 1T the
hotel everybody looked at him, and a
smile went round. There was brindle
dog in the room at the time. As the
dude paused at the news stand the dog
went up to him, shifted of him, looked
up at him once and walked away with
dropping tail and an air Of intense dis
gust. The disgust probably arose from
the fact that the dude wasn't the person
the dog was looking for, but the ami
malls whole appearance seemed to say:
This let's me out. l can't stand that
thingr And the crowd howled with
laughter. -B0Ston Post.

Yes, she was very pretty and very
charming, and was the saucy possessor
of one of the most kissable little
mouths that man ever set eyes on.
There was no doubt at all about that.
She liked to kiss and be kissed too. At
least she demonstrated the fact to tie
perfect satisfaction of a car full of peo-
pie. 1t all happened in just the easiest
way possible. She and her young lady
companion took seat in the forward
part of a car on train that stood in
one of the railroad stations of the Hub.
The train happened to be the express,
which runs ten miles out of the city be-
fore stopping; but of this, the young
lady was charmingly ignorant. She
laughed and chatted and chatted and
laughed with her companions as if
there were no such things as express
trains, or, at least, that they would
stop at her own sweet will. The warn
ing bell struck, The engine backed into
the depot, the man with the signs
shouted his monotonous '.All aboardrn
and the train was off. The conductor
quickly put in an appearance, and was
presented with a ticket for town
about mile out of the city.
1--WE don't stop there. miss; don't
stop till we get to B. Express, YOU
see You'll have to get off at the No
Nothing station just this side of L.
(the place at which she wished to stop).
that's the best can do for you, " and off
he went. At first, there were threats of
slight April shower, but by the time
the '.No-Nothing' was reached, the
L. ha1 xyanicbal aud tho nv =
clear. Only an instant's stop is ever
made at this station; but the young
lady with the kissable mouth seemed
to be in most blissful ignorance of this
fact. To be sure, she started off all
right to alight in good time, but, when
she reached the door she turned quick
ly, retraced her steps, and in the most
naive manner imaginable, and, as if
the whole world was al her disposal,
threw her arm around about her COM
panion's neck and bestowed upon her
two crispy little good-by smacks. Then
she tripped through the door, and the
train started. The April showers came
and likewise the conductor. He was
a chivalrous man, and she a pretty
woman in tears. If she had been home
", the result would undoubtedly have
been different, but as it was, the bell
| rope was resorted to, and the train
| brought to standstill. Profuse in her
| thanks, she alighted, and then as she
started, womanlike, she turned and
threw kiss at her friend, whose anx-
| ious face peered at her from the car
| window.
Yes" said the figure-fend, who
has not grain of sentiment in him,
"but I'll wager fo'pence she never
thought how much that kiss cost. just
| see here. These cars will seat sixty
people apiece; there are ten of them.
and they are all full. That makes 600
people. We were delayed one minute.
You see that makes 600 minutes, or

Reckon it up as you are mind to,
there was money in it. Thunderation!
All for a kiss, too!' and the fend set
| tied back in disgust.

many other cases, and from personal use
in former years, | began taking it for the
aDOve-named disorders. My appetite inI-
proved almost from the first dose. After
q short time the fever and itching were
allayed, and all signs of irritation of the

my general health greatly improved. Until

THE REBEL YELL.

the assumed election of Cleveland,
seem to fall little short of frenzy. In
St. Louis at a Democratic meeting,
Friday evening, jeff Davis name,
and the airs 'sDixie" and 1.-The Bon
ME Blue Flag" played by the band,
were uproariously cheered, while one
of the orators declared that soon
would be heard ''the tramp, tramp,

Gov. Brown, another speaker, took
occasion to say: 'The flag of the
South went down in war, but thank
God it did not 60 down in dishonor.
Tonight we rejoice that the men
who bore it have asserted their su-
premacy." Senator Gordon, of Geor-
GA, who is in New York city, typifi-.
ed Southern Democratic sentiment,
when in a speech Saturday night he
said "For the first time in quar-
ter of century I can greet you as
my fellow-c ountrymen for the first
time since the drums beat on the field
of battle | can greet you as my fell
ow-countrymen. AS a Southern man,
looking back through the dark vista
of civil war, and looking forward to-
night with bounding heart, stand
here tonight to tell you (pointlng te

Confederate general that the banner
of the stars and stripes in his fae
only when it floats over a Democrat
ic government, shows distinctly wher
he stands-and he is not by an,
means one of the bitterest of South
erners. The restoration of the De

approach to the triumph of the ''los

South do not conceal their belief t
that effect.

THE SILVER QUESTION.

The Financial Chronicle calls at
tention again to the ever recurring
coinage question in the following par
agraph:
"What just now makes the silver
coinage question q more potent infin-
ence, is the marked decline in the
price of silver at London. This is
due to several we'll known causes,
but underlying them all is the leading
influence that the metal has been dis
carded as currency in Europe and
that each year the tendency in that
direction is being increased. Thus
the United States is being left to
stand alone under It's growing burden,
still straining to hold it up. Of course
every thinking man knows that if we
continue to keep in this position it is
merely a.question of time when our
power of endurance will fail us. Only
a few weeks since it was announced
that Greece had retired from the Lat
in Union and had negotiated a loan,
of which "a, 100000 were to be used
in making preparations toward secur-
ing a gold basis for it's currency.
And now the Austrian correspondent
of the London Economist announces,
what had before been merely rumor,
that Austro-Hungary was also max
ing an effort to adopt the gold stand
ard. The statement is that loan of
150, 100000 forms is about to be
placed for that purpose. Our bank
ers are little sceptical with regard to
the success of this scheme, as Aus
tro-Hungary has debt of $780,
100000, largely held abroad, the an
nual charge upon which is about S76,
100000, while it still has an excess
i've paper currency outstanding and
a premium of about 20 per cent on
gold to overcome. But the effort it
would seem is to be made, and if it
is successful it will take that country
also out of the list of silver consum-
oTS
