Farmers and Bankers,

The Farmer deals in crops.
The Banker deals in debts.

The Banker makes money on what
he owes.
The Farmer prospers on big crops.
The Banker propers on big debts.
The Farmer makes most when he
owes the least.
Tne Banker makes most when he

General prosperity is best for tho

General stagnation is the bankers

The bankers run the Government.
The farmers foot the bill.
The farmer supplies the revenue, the

IF the civilized wprlt should adopt
or permit the unlimited, or unrestricted
coinage Of both gold and silver, whose
dollars should be Of equal weight and
finsness, tho two kinds Of dollars
would always remain par with each
other.
There being but limited demand
for silver for the purposes of coinage,
it's market price IS depressed and con-
trolled by the excess, not coinable,
while all gold being coinable, its in
creased demand for that purpose above
the natural supply tends to increase it's
value.
Hence. with the gold standard, as
the value of this metal increases the

THE CLOAK TRADE.
What American Women Spend Annual
for Outer Garments.

WHAT American women Spenu Auuudlly
for Outer Garments.
"There is hardly trade that has
grown SO rapidly during the past few
years as the cloak trade" said manu-
facturer to a reporter. GA few years
ago it was trade almost unknown on
this side of the Atlantic. In this coun-
try now there are hundreds of houses
devoted to this interest alone"
"Can you give me any figures as to
its progress?"
According to the returns made at
the last census, we find that the
amount of business transacted in the
matter of women's clothing footed up
nearly $3O,00O,0O0, and it is likely the
greater part of this was for outer gar
ments. About two-thirds of this, or
$19, 100000, is credited to New York;
to Philadelphia, $2,5OO,O00; Boston,
S1,S0O,O0O; Chicago, $1,000, 900; Gin
cinnati and San Francisco about ST.
100000 each. According to the 1880
census the amount of capital employed
was about $500, O0O."
''What is the center for manufactur-
ing cloaks in Europe?''
.'Berlin, probably because of the
cheap manner in which they can be
put together here. A number Of
cloaks used to be imported here from
that place, but the imports have large
" fallen off, and domestic goods are
chiefly used. The foreign manufac-
turers can not make goods to fit our

"Where do the various styles come
from?"
s.Paris stands at the head of the list
of cities furnishing designs, although
we are every year advancing in that
line ourselves. Nearly all the cloak
houses have representatives abroad,
who visit, London, Paris, Berlin and
Vienna. They buy samples of what
they think would be popular style
and send them over to be copied. y

L. Every Body Drunk?

Among the many stories Lincoln used to
relate was the following: Trudging along
a lonely road one morning on my way to
the county seat, Judge - overlook me
with his wagon and invited me to q seat.
We had not gone far before the wagon
began to wobble. Said 1: Judge, think
your coachman has taken drop too much"
Putting his head out of the window, the
Judge shouted: why, you internal scoun-
del, you are drunk!n
Turning round with great gravity, the
coachman said: "Be dad but that's the

IL people knew the facts they would be
surprised to learn how many people reel in
the streets who never "drink adrOp." They
are the victims Of sleeplessness, of drowsy
days, of apoplectic tendencies, whose blood
is set on fire by uric acid. Some day they
will reel no more-they will drop dead, just
because they haven't the moral courage to
defy useless professional attendance, and by
use of the wonderful Warmers safe cure
neutralize the uric acid in the system and
thus get rid of the DRUNKENNESS in the
blood.'-The american Raral Home.

TASTES IN DRESS.
Oolor Mixtures That VIII Relieve the Som
berness of Plain Black.


berness of Plain Black.
Many ladies elect to wear black
from motives of economy, knowing
that it is color which, because incon-
spicuous, is one which does not quickly
bear its date as do most figured or col
ored dresses. There are times and
seasons, however, when its sOmberness
should be relieved by some bright color
mixture. There are, however, very
few colors that can be worn with black
without marring its lady-like effect.
A certain vivid scarlet is stylish,
another of a peculiar shade of gold,
and for a quieter taste there is certain
shade of fawn that combines effectively
with black. 1t is not drab nor gray,
but hue almost impossible to describe
accurately by name. A hat or bonnet
of the hue particularized, with trim
mings of the same. and Swedish gloves
to correspond, will stylishly relieve
black dress for out-of-dOor wear.
Ladies who make use of this hint are
advised to take a scrap of the black
fabric with them in making purchase
of any color relief. There are number
less tones of black, and they will at
once see the particular color that goes
best with the fabric. As to the scarlet
admixture, the vivid coquelicot red,
which has no trace of purple or pink
in it, best assimilates with black. 1t is
worn by very fair people with light
hair as we'll as by those of brunette
type. A very effective dinner dress
lately worn was made of black satin
merveilleux, with simple collar and
scarf ends of jetted net worn upon the
corsage. 1t was simple arrangement,
but striking in its results. The fine
lace was covered with the very best
French cut jet sparkling like diamonds
in the gaslight. The collar was in
wide sailor shape with straight scarf
ends of the net falling from where the
collar met in front, to the waist, where
they were drawn snugly into small
compass, and held by handsome jet
clasp, the remaining ends falling below
the belt upon the skirt front. These
scarfs yelled vest of bright poppy red
satin, which showed its bri ght color
through the beading. The skirts and
drapery were all of black satin except
directly in front, where ''V' killing
of the red satin was partially yelled by
a fall of beaded net.-N. Y. Post.

A WONDERFUL GROWTH.

Fame CarefuIly-Compiled Statistics OF
General Interest Relative to the Rapid
increase in Population and Wealth Of
the More Northern Portions Of the
Great Northwest.
The late reports from the Executive
officials of the great States and Terri
tories of the Northwest show sur.
prising growth in population and
wealth. This important region COM
prises the rich agricultural and grazing
States and Territories of Minnesota,
Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington
and Oregon.
MINNESOTA.
The returns from the Minnesota CEN
sus taken in May, 1885, show popu-
lation in the State OF 1,117,79S. In
1880 it was 7SO,773. The assessed valu-
alton of property in Minnesota is SlO1.-
OPS, 587; in 1880 it was 1888, O55, 545; in
crease, $142,973,044.
The cities of St. Paul and Minneapo-
lis, the largest and most important
business metropolis of the State, and in
fact of the entire Northwest, show an
unprecedented growth. They are sit
uated so near each other that their cor
porate limits now join, and form
great commercial center. They are
about equal in size, and their combined
population by the census of May, 1885.
was 24O, 597; in 1880 it was 5000. in
crease, 152,537. The capacity of the
Touring mills is $4,000 barrels of flour
a day. Wheat received last year, 3d.
438, 222 bushels; elevator capacity.
$500, 900 bushels; cut of lumber, $780,
724,379 feet; new buildings erected,
4,848; real estate sales, $29, 435, $50.
Duluth and Superior, at the head OF
Lake Superior. separated only by the
BAY of st. Louis, form an important
commercial metropolis. Their popula-
ton is upwards of 10000, and next to
Chicago they are the greatest shipping
points for wheat in the West, having an
elevator capacity of 100000 bushels.
DAKOTA.
Dakota shows remarkable growth
in population, and by the development
of only small portion of its great agri-
cultural resources shows a large i'll
crease in the number of farms, products
of the soil and live stock. The returns OF
the Territorial census taken in June.
1885. and the report of Governor Pierce
