II strikes us that the FREE TRADER Is a
little too previous in some of It's assertions
in relation TO the action of the commission
ers 10 locate the old soldiers home, we
agree with the FREE TRADER that a more
fitting place for the institution cannot be
found in the state than Buffalo Rock, bu'
we doubt very much that the commission.
ers made the statement that OF the II
points examined "l2 were rejected as NJ
terlv impracticable and out of the ques-
tion,n and that Buffalo Rock "was the best
site visited. "-Gt0Je.
The above is from the Ottawa Glode ana
does not state the case honestly. The IN
formation received by representative "i
this paper comes direct from Fred .
White, mayor Of Aurora, and member OIL
the commission. He stated that - OF the
sites offered had been rejected, but neither
he nor the FREE TRADER stated "of the =
points examined II We're rejected MT
White also stated that buffalo Rock was
the best site so far visited This is some
of tie outside history Of the matter, friend
Stevens.

1t Is asserted that agriculture Is the basis
of our national prosperity and wealth The
annual value of the crop and animal pro
ducts Of one State 1llinois) exceeds three
hundred millions of dollars. The mer
chant, manufacturer, farmer and consum
ers generally are much gratifed and greatly
encouraged at the prospects for abundant
crops.
The quality of the 1885 hay crop is ex.
cellent and there is no complaint as to the
extent of the yield The extraordinary
crop Of oats harvested this season exceeds
that of any previous year. The area of the
growing crop of corn largely exceeds the
crops grown in this State of late years and
the prospects have never been better for
an abundant yield per acre of corn, at cor
responding dates for many years past. 1t
is grand sight to the traveller this season
to view the hundreds of miles of almost
unbroken fields of luxuriant corn in this
State, and inspiring to contemplate the
millions of wealth represented in the grow
| ing crop.
The most intelligent and progressive
| farmers and stock breeders of the country
and the leading spirits in many other lines
of business are deeply interested in the
Agricultural Fairs, and are now making
unusual preparations for the great Fair to
be held in Chicago this season. The pre-.
MUM live stock, farl. products, horticul
tural displays collections of art, etc, eX-
hibited at the thousand or more of county
and district Fairs, will as usual find their
way to the great Fair at Chicago, which
opens on Monday September II, 1885.
The Illinois State Board of Agriculture
has given each industry represented at the
Illinois State Fair encouragement in pro
portion to It's importance 10 the other in
terests demanding the fostering care of this
association.
The managers of the Illinois State Fair
since its organization have offered more
than onethrd of "A million of dollars in
premiums 10 the enterprising people OF the
world as an incentive To exhibit the best
results in breeding live stock, the skill of
the inventor and manufacturer of labor-sav-
ing farm machinery and implements, the
growing of superior specimens of agricul-
tural products, etc, etc.
The managers of the Illinois State Fair
have made many additions To the premium
list this season and largely increased the
handsome inducements heretofore offered.
The premiums offered the several depart
ments of the Fair this season aggregate
over twenty, four thousand dollars. This
large sum of premium money is appor
toned as follows, viz, Cattle, S3,l500O;
Horses and Speed, $1l, 19l 90; Sheep, So
1900; Hogs, $l,S550O; Poultry, 1865 90;
Farm Products, $6SS00; Horticulture,
81, 1872 90; Fine Arts, $4,000; Textile Fab
RIGS, $6lS00; Science and Education, ST.
2l000 and Dairy, $4,000,
The large premiums offered will induce
exhibitors from all parts of the country to
attend the great Fair at Chicago and il is
believed that the additional facilities pro
vided by the large number of railroads
centering at the place of exhibition will
enable the vast crowds to speedily reach
the Fair without inconvenience.

On which figures he makes the following
remarks: "The exports Of glassware from
the small country of Belgium, ms we have
seen in the table given above, are equal in
value to half the total product of the glass
factories of the United States, which in 1880
AGGREGATED sd, 1874 600 There are at least
seventy establishments in Belgium, employ

In wages, 1900 600 francs $50 00O0,) be
ing an average Of 3 francs 40 centimes
(about 20 cents per day The salaries in
this industry are regarded in Belgium as eX-
cellent. Some Of the hands earn az much as
81. SO and even 81 day. In the glass
works in the vicinity of this town, namely,
that Of Val Saint Lambert, about 1900
workers are employed. The first cutters are
paid So per week; second cutters, -, the
same as the polishers. The common labor
ers earn 50 to $3.50 per week. Apprentices
are paid 20 cents a day. Over 800 women
are engaged here. They are paid by the
piece, and can earn 40 to 45 cents per day.
The estimates heretofore published in consul
lar reports, etc, of glass-workers' wages in
Belgium have, in my opinion, been altogether
too high. The most complete and simplifed
statement is the one given above, which
would indicate that the average earnings Of
all classes of glass-workers are 81 day,
counting $50 days in the year. No wonder
Belgium workmen will come to America and
work for, say, half American glass house
nrices. and consider themselves lords Of
