AMERICAS BILLIONS.


Income Only 40 Cents Day For Each In
dividual.
The total wealth of our country, now
the richest in the world, is reported at
S43, 100000, in population of 10000
900, with total of 100000 producers,
says Rev. RI. Behrends. An enormous
sum in the aggregate, representating,
however, the Accommodations Of $50 years,
much of it, in land, buildings ana
machinery.
An equal division would give to each
man, woman and child a capital of only
$50, much of it relatively worthless to
the individual owner, or of $500 to each
producer. The latter sum represents the
limit of average wealth attainable. There
is no more to be had.
The same result is emphasized in an
alyzing the annual production. The most
careful estimates place this at $4,000
100000 annually. From this must be
deducted S700,000,000 paid in taxes,
1900, 100000 TO make good the annual
wear and tear of the means of production.
leaving SS,000,O00 to be divided among
50000,000 consumers without allowing
anything for interest or invested capital
or for its increase Allowing per cent.
for these the net production is reduced to
$5,725,000,000.
Throwing capital out of the account
there is only $l60 year for each inhabi-
tant, or of $l15 if capitol is entitled to
a dividend-an average of from 81 to A
cents day.
Forty cents a day must suffice, on the
average, to feed, clothe and shelter the
people of this country. Or, dividing the
actual workers, the average income will
be between 1897 and $475 year.
Three hundred and fifty dollars a year
must buy bread, raiment, pay house rent
and provide margin for saving in every
family of three persons, 81 a day is far
above the average income that the pro
ductive energy of the country can pay
He who secures it belongs to the privi-
legged classes, with many more below him
and every man belongs to the bloated
plutocarcy, against whom socialism urges
its crusade, who owns $4,000 worth of
property, or who receives more than $500
a year for work.

DOM PEDRo'S WAR SHIP AT NEWPORT.
The Cottagers will Entertain Prince Ieopoldo
and the Brazilian Officers.

The Cottagers will Entertain Prince Leopoldo
and the brazilian Officers.
The Brazilian war ship Admirante Bar
roso, which arrived at Newport, has been
the object of much curiosity. The vessel
anchored Just outside the torpedo sta
ton, and after saluting the American flag
was saiuted in turn by the guns at Fort
Adams. To-day quite a number of cot
tagers have been on board and extended
hospitalities to Commodore Saldanha and
through him to Prince leopold. The
commodore was here in 1876 and visited
the torpedo station. He will take several
of his officers over to the station before
he leaves.
Quite large proportion of the officers
will run up to Boston for q day or two
during the stay of the Barroso in the
harbor. The Brazilian Charge dAffaires,
Mr.. Da Costa, is on board, guest of the
commodore. On the way hither from
New York the commodore put the vessel
into Huntington ON account of severe
storm.
To-day the ship was not open to the
general public, and only those who called
personally upon the commodore were adj
mitted. Among the cottagers who called
was Mr.. j. G. Rosengarten, Of Philadel-
phia, who entertains great deal here.
He is an old friend of Commodore Sal
danha, whom he fr5t met at the Centen-
NAL exhibition. Mrs. G. n, Beach has
also invited Commodore Saldanha and
his officers to a reception tomorrow at
her beautiful residence.
They will be at the Casino ball in The
evening.
When the Barroso leaves here she will
go out to sea for good. She will cruise
u little along the Atlantic, and then leave
American waters.

Tie Fastest Trotter in the World.
Rural World

Orrin Hickok, the well known driver,
arrived, yesterday, from Cleveland, where
he has the California trotter Arab, joint
ly owned by himself and r. Porter Ashe.
He ran up to see the runners, and will
return tonight. The trotters at Cleve-
land, he says, are all doing well, and are
going faster than any lot of horses he
ever saw together Splan has a great
stable, and Counselor Crawford has a
good one. There is no sickness among
the horses, and they all trot fast. Speak
ing about W. j. Gordon's six-year-old
Guy, by Kentucky Prince, dam by Amer
lean Star, he said;
There is the fastest horse | ever saw;
hitched to n common low-wheeled cart
weighing over a hundred pounds and
carrying Splan in it, and without a shoe
on any foot, 1 saw him trot a mile in
2:1712. He is bad actor in company,
something like st. Julien was, and they
can't trot him in races and win until they
get him steadied. Splan is working on
him just as | used to on my old horse,
and you may depend on it that whenever
he gets ready to start him he will beat
every trotter in the world. | knew that
he was as fast as n ghost two years ago,
and offered 100000 for him without get
ting him.

The East and West.

THE question of the rivalry of the east
anu west said a gentleman recently to
the Washington correspondent of The
Cleveland Leader, grows more impor-
tant every year. The Atlantic seacoast
with New York as its headcenter, be-
comes more and more antagonistic to the
interests of the west, and ii is only ques-
ton of time when there will be great party
of the east opposed to one of the west
and south. The elementy for such parties
are forming and il seems to me when
they crystalline that the reign of New
York will be for tbs time over, and that
the great west will rule The west has
now the major part of the voting pops
lation of the United States and it is in
the infancy of its growth, while the cast
is far advanced
might suoh a state of affairs lead TO
the moving of the national capital to the
west or center of the country
mo! Washington city will continue to
be the capital of the United States as
long as the union lasts The railroad
and the telegraph have made all parts of
the country near to each other, and there
Is not the reason for a central capital as
in the past. If you will look over the
world you will find that the great capt
tails are seldom in the center of the popu-
lations over which they govern. London
is in a corner Of Great Britain, Paris is
in the north of France. Pekin is in the
east of China, Berlin is in the north of
the German empire, and st. Petersburg
is away off on one side of Russia. Then
there is too much money invested in
Washington, both by politicians and the
people, TO ever allow of change of the
capital. The senators and representa-
tives now own private property in Wash
ington running high into the millions,
and there will always be large individual
interests owned by the men who control
such movements. The government build
ings of Washington are worth at least
100000, 600, and the parks are worth
many millions more. Then there are the
historical associations of nearly hundred
years of our government. No, | don't
think the capital can ever be moved, and
don't think it should be-"

FARM ITEMS.

IF your wife could only have a cheap
cook honse with plenty of doors and win
dows in it, how much would she o1joy it
for the next three month. IL would save
a sight of Precipitation and unpleasant
ness.
PUT a wire muzzle upon your horses
nose when culivating the young orchard
or the corn. The animal will prove much
more tractable when relieved in this way
from temptation, and your corn and trees
will not be mutilated.
Manure is the food of plants. Don't
stint the soil of sufficient amount of
plant food in the way OF stable manure
and other available fertilizer if you ex-
pect good returns from your vegetable
and small fruit garden.
There is in cities and suburban places
a growing tendency TO make use of single
heavy horses in place Of the double team.
There is an increasing depand FOR good
heavy horses which will insure a profit to
those who breed them.
A weed gone to seed in garden is a
speaking evil that cannot be stayed at
once. In its increased magnitude it must
be fought. and not a whole year will CON
duer it. II is better 70 miss the morning
nap than 10 allow that one weed to
mature.
If the hens are confined and no gravel
provided, they will suffer from indigestion
as the mastication Of the food is done in
the gizzard. The gravel should be sharp,
but ground oyster shells may be used also
with advantage, though gravel ~ superior
to other substances.

How Can he Make the Farm Pay.
Live Stock Journal.

The question of making the farm pay
is often discussed. To answer it, the
quality and condition of the farm must be
taken into consideration. If ii has been
poorly titled, but naturally productive,
better tillage may make it pay If it is
badly exhausted by cropping without any
return to the soil of the fertilizing ma
terials taken of, it may have become SO
poor that it can not be made to pay al
first, because of the cost of repl9nishing
it; but if the proper ingredients are re-
turned to the soil, in few years it can be
made to pay and yield a surplus TO com
pensate for the materials required to re-
novate it. A continuance of the proper
kind of treatment will not only pay, but
improve the productiveness of the farm
and make it easier TO cultivate. This is
one answer the question of how To make
the farm pay. 1t involves the intelligence,
Judgment and skill of the farmer. Has
he the ability to make any farm pay? If
the farmer lacks in this, il is impossible
for him to make any ordinary farm pay,
and under his management the best farm
will soon cease to pay. The average run
of farmers need TO put more brains to
their work to learn more about the prin
ciples of agriculture, and qualify themsel-
YES to apply the better methods of farming
which are slowly being introduced.
They must understand that the soil is not
exhaustless that it is only chemical
laboratory in which the scientific and
skillful farmer produces crops by com
bination of certain materials. Nature
presents it to him with the necessary
materials already in the alembic; but he
can not forever use these materials with
out exhansting them. So he must learn
to replace them as fast as they become
deficient, and to do il in the most econ
omical way. There must be economy
practiced both in the supply and in the
use of the material required for crop pro-
duction. This it is the business of the
farmer to study, a. much as it Is how to
pillow and SOW, TO plant and reap. In
telligent farming always pays, in the
true sense of tee word. If farmer has
no heavy debts hanging over him, it
must be poor farm and poor farming
Indeed that will not furnish a good sup
port for the average fomily. OF course,
sickness and misfortune may overtake
The best, but that is no fault of the farm
or the farming. So long as anything
pays, good farming will pay. If the time
should ever come when it does not, the
end of the world or of the human race
can not come too soon.

SUGGESTIONS ON COOKING GREEN PEAS.
We think peas need longer cooking
than the majority OF persons give them:
and they are greatly improved by the ad
dition of a little sugar. teaspoonful to
pint of peas is sufficient to change
their flavor ana make them seem like a
different dish. For some of the sweeter
kinds less sugar than this may be need
ed, the saccharine element is better devel-
oped. Boil them until tender in water
and then add milk or cream to make q
gravy, Season with butter, pepper and
salt and very little thickening, or not
AS desired. Many prefer them without
milk, and some may think the sugar su-
pertluous but Go our taste it is one of the
essentials.
CANNING AND Sailing GREEN BEANS.
They are put in Gaming establishments
IN large quantities, and are as good as
those freshly gathered. l think the
secret lies in cooking and sealing them
well. | should cut them as for the table.
cook them tender without any seasoning,
and then pour them boiling hot INTO the
bottles or cans and seal them. The salicy-
lie acid will doubtless preserve them,
used as suggested. They could be kept
the same as corn, except that a teacup-
full of water should be added to a six gall
on jar of the beans. There should be
alternate layers of the beans and salt.
can see no reason why they would not
keep as well as string beans. The only
objection to this sailing process is the
labor requisite in freshening the vegeta-
bles when desired for use.
BEEF ror-BoAsT.
| have another mode of making though
and common pieces of beef tender and
good. They may be of any size desired,
but piece of four or five pounds is my
/ preference. 1t should have some fat, and
/ be pretty free from bone. Wipe it dry,
and rub it well with salt and pepper, as
/ for roasting. Cook in fat bottomed
kettle without water; let it brown slowly
\ for 80 minutes or more, with frequent
turnings to avoid scorching, When
brown on all sides, add water enough to
come up around but not over it, cover
closely and let ii simmer, not boil fast
three or four hours, or until it is very
tender. A few whole cloves and pepper
corns may improve the flavor of the meat
and more salt may be needed. When
done take it up, thicken the gravy, pour
/ ing some over the meat and send the
remainder to the table in tureen. Those
4 fond of onion flavor may prefer little
cooked with it, though in my family this
| is Objectionable; but may not generally
\ be.
