Extent and Magnitude Of the Draft
Horse Industry.

icS
Those of us living in section of the
country where the business Of raising
heavy horses is in its infancy can have
but little idea of the immense proportions
II has assumed in regions where such a
course of breeding has been long followed
or at least we can have no adequate con-
ception, unless we visit some OF the great
stock farms of the West, where the breed
ing of draft stock has been founded and
conducted upon scientific principles, and
all the possibilities of the equine race are
allowed and assisted to develop by the aid
of thorough care and handling. On such
farms the young colt never has a bacR-se'
through fault of man, but nature is given
her full swing, while good quarters are
provided, good food is furnished and care
and attention bestowed so that the colt ia'
| is retained and never lost.
Take, for instance, large farm ana
breeding establishment a short distance
west OF Chicago, where from three to five
hundred head of registered Percherons are
kept constantly on hand, and where the
sales average thousands of dollars pei
week the year round. A visit to and in
spection of this place would pay person
well for all of his expenses in getting
there. for he will have none while the
guest of the proprietor, as everything II
free and on the broadest scale of hospital
ty, and the duration Of the visit is entirely
at the option of the visitor,
Imagine private farmer, simply en-
gagged in the business of raising stock
whose guests are so numerous that he !
compelled to run private omnibus line
meeting every train, and to conduct reg
Mar hotel for their accommodations, only
as have said, everything is free, whethe
you buy stock or not on the principle
doubtless that those who buy, pay 10
those who do not. The arrivals and d'
partures are numbered by the dozen eac
day, and it is no uncommon occurrenc
| for fifty persons to sit down to the table,
one time, as guests OF this farmer an
stock raiser, and almost invariably the vi
itor becomes purchaser before leaving
That it takes large amount OF none
and some brains TO run such an establish
ment can not be doubted. The necessar
expenses for help alone amounting to
large sum each year, and this establisl
ment has no other business than that
importing, raising and selling Perchero
Norman draft horses, and the whole i
come is derived from this business.
| OF course the animals Tor sale are pri
cipally registered stock, and are, therefor
, sold at high figures, and only purchase
, for breeding purposes, while the buye
: are from all parts of thsUnited States al
. Canada; thus showing the growth OF Il
industry and that it is not confined to al
> one locality or bounded by any geograp
ical limits.

Seven Pennsylvania GirlS Walk Into q
Trap Set to Ruin Thorn.

READING, Pennsylvania, March 21.-Sev-
eral weeks ago two elderly men, wearing
long white boards. called upon the farmers
of this section and announced that they
had been sent by the Mormon Church in
Utah to make converts. They met with
little encouragement, however, from the staid
farmers, and next devoted themselves to
the young women, to whom they represented
that. by moving West, thev could marry
rich Mormons and live lives OF luxury and
ease. They persuaded seven daughters OF
we'll do farmers to embrace the Mormon
faith, and the parents of the girls reluct'
antly gave their consent. The strangers
agreed to pay the fares OF the young women
to the West, and more than week ago
they left for New York.
At the latter place the strangers said they
would meet other missionaries in company
with converts to the Mormon faith and
the entire party would then start for Utah.
Nothing was heard OF the party for nearly
ten days. Four OF the young women have
since returned and related a sad story OF
how they had been deceived. According to
their story they were told that they would
have to remain in New York for a few days
Tor rest They were taken to an elegantly
furnished house, which they were told was
a boarding place. Their plain clothing was
taken from them and they we're furnished
with elegant costumes. The alleged Nor
mon missionaries merely proved to be
agents OF these disreputable places. Three
OF the girls refused to return with their
companions.
The girls were the daughters OF Amos
Gaul, J Ohm Saur, John Rosthermee, daniel
Mueller, George DeTurk, Jesse Rothenberser
and Thomas Moore. The girls who re-
turned say that the pretend, d Mormon
missionaries disappeared soon after their
arrival in New York, and that they were
entirely under the control and direction OF
the woman in whose house they were
placed.

The Fisherjo. Troubles.

OTTAWA, Ont, Murch 2O.-A few days
since, the Collector OF Customs at Digby,
n s., seized the American schooner "E. A.
Horton" which had been captured by Il
Canadian cruiser before the fishery treaty
went into operation in 1872 for fishing
within the eight.mile limit, and which was
subsequently stolen by her owners and
taken to Gloucester. She was recently
purchased by Canadians in good faith, who
were not aware that she was liable To
seizure on entering the Canadian waters,
in view of which the Government ordered
her release and registration under
the British flag, on the ground
that the recent purchasers and not the
former owner would be obliged to stand all
the loss if the penalty OF the law were
enforced The Government has ordered the

THE BUREAU OF LABOR.
Report Of the Secretary For
the First Year.
FOREIGN woRKMEN
It Is Claimed That Their Coming
Is Injurious to General
Business.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The first annual
report OF the Bureau OF Labor is COM
pleted, and it will cover about 500 pages.
Under the head of Industrial Depressions
in the United States," Commissioner
Wright says: "From the observations OF
the agents of the bureau and from other
sources from which it has been possible to
form conclusions it is undoubtedly true
that out of the total number of establish
ments, such rs factories, mines, ETC.. exist
ing in the country about per cent. were
absolutely idle during 1885, and that per-
haps per cent. more were idle part OF the
time or for the first estimate TX per cent.
OF the whole number OF such establishments
were idle orequivalent during thepast year.
Applying the per cent arrived at, we havea
total of $4,000 unemployed persons in
1885. A million men out OF employment
neans a loss to the consumptive power OF
the country of at least 81 600, 900 per day
or crippling the trade of the country OF
$500, ,OOO,OHO per year. It is curious to
observe, how ever, that while the severity
OF the depression causes q crippling to the
extent of several hundred million dollars
per year the consuming power OF the
V0s
has not been hurt comparatively to any
such extent.
FOREIGN LABOR.
The employ ment by contract OF foreign
importations and rapid immigration gen.
orally are features which have positive in
fluence in Gripping the consuming power.
By the census OF 1880 the whole number
of people engaged in agriculture in the
United States was 7,87O;S49. Into this
number there had been absorbed S12, ,S29
foreign born. The total number employed
in manufactures, mechanical and mining
industries was 1887 .112, of whom 1 ,225,-
7S7 were OF foreign birth. 1t will be seen at
once that the tendency of immigrants is to
assimilate with our mechanical industries.
This increases the supply OF labor in COM
palison to the demand. 1t lowers the
wages, contributes to whatever over pro-
duction exists and cripples the consuming
power of the whole. So far as iDvestiga-
ton indicates, the employment OF foreign
labor under contract in the places OF dis
satisfied home laborers has been miser
able failure for all parties concerned. ex-
cept, perhaps, the parties imported. Asto
the severity of the present industrial
depression and it's duration, it can safely
he asserted that the depression commenced
early in 1882 and has continued until the
present time. At the present time (March,
1867 the effect of the depression is wear
ing away and all Indications are that the
prosperity is slowly and gradually, but
safely returning.
