freedom. For, let all mark it'll vio-
lence is not directed against the en-
ployer. If There were no idle work
men anxious for service there would
be no need of a bowling mob armed
with clubs and paving stones to keep
the deserted works in the idleness to
which they have been devoted. The
employer cannot start his works with
out the laborers, ana If a mob is
needed to stop the enterprise, the VIC
lence is lot against the capitalist, but
against the workmen who are seeking
the service. If we concede the right
of the men 10 combine and leave the
looms, and the FORCES, and the mines,
and the cars, and the carts, and the
barges to decay In silence, there is no
need of an angry word to- effect all
this, unless the rights of other work
ingmen are ruthlessly invaded.
The spirit of mob violence is not,
therefore, directed first or chiefly
kagainst the employer, no matter how
great tyrant he may have been. He
is powerless, and may fold lis arms in
silence If no one Is ready to enter the
vacant service. Every act of intimi
dalton, every resort to brute force,
shows that workingmen are willing tc
fill the deserted places, and must bt
kept from 1t by the grossest violation
of the very liberties these men have
vowed to cherish and protect. There
can be no occasion for demonstration:
of force, except as these are directed
against men who are willing and anx-
ious to work.

INFANT LIFE IN PARIS.
The Suffering of Poor Children In the
French Metropolis.

There is no doubt that the want Of
space from which the poor tenant
suffers in Paris is a serious drawback TO
the rearing of an infant. There is,
further, no doubt that sufficient care
can not be bestowed upon the infant,
even if there be sufficient space, where
the woman, as is the case 800 times out
OF l. 900, among the working population
of Paris, helps to win the bread. Among
the lower middle classes the wife keeps
the accounts. A wet nurse al home is
expensive and irksome. These peasant
matTons have been spoiled by the upper
classes, where they are INDUCED to an
extent that dsfies description. They are
decked out as for feast; they rule
the household. in return for which they
give what the mother is apparently IN
willing or unable to give. and what old
fashioned folks still persist in consider
ing the sweetest joys OF maternity.
ThackeIay made Becky Sharp French
by her mothers side. IL proved his
acumen; had he done otherwise Eng
lish readers would have been inclined 70
tax him with exaggeTation in depicting
his heroine as utterly Indifferent, nay i,
sick and tired, OF her pretty son, oe-
cause he iuterfered with her enjoyment
Of society. In Paris, hOwever-and in
the large provincial centers, whose
chief delight il seems to ape Paris-the

20 take six hours stroll through one
or two Of the best Or second best quar-
tiers Of Paris, and 20 find more than one
well-dressed mother out OF every thirty
unflanked by a wet-nurse. He can
easily try the experiment for himself,
seeing that there is q difference in the
costume of the mere nurse-maid
and the wet-nurse. The latter is
got up very Electrically and
pret.ily with q wreath of beauti-
full ribbons round her exquisitely
embroidered cap, two long streamers
of the same ribbon floating in the wind;
a handsome dress and ample cloak,
often lined with silk, and lace apron.
She is part of the show OF a fashionable
entertainment in Paris. II my observer
has done this, if he calculates the H.
600 infants gone 10 the provinces, and
iots down computation based upon
the fraction Of the remaining IS 900, he
will arrive at the conclusion that
probably about one of every ten
mothers nurses her own baby.

LONDON, Jan. I5.-The numerous credit
ors Of the eccentric King Louis OF Bavaria.

TO have the king declared insane and his

tors. This is their only hope, as the Kings

the effect Of which is that though the
kings property eanno. be proceeded against
for debt while he is actually reigning. the
moment he is declared insane or ceases for
any reason TO be the de facto ruler. his
property becomes subject TO the same legal
actions as that Of any private citizen. APP
peals are said TO have been made 10 the
kings brother, who is the heir presumptive
TO the throne, but that prince is nearly as
eccentric as his brother, and one Of his Cd
dities Is an utter lack of desire to become a

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Special telegrams

and wind, which has been general. This
appears 10 have been universally recognized
as temporary obstruction. and the feeling
among leading bankers and merchants at
almost all points continues one OF con-
idence in the prospects of business
for an improvement early i'm the
current year. As an outgrowth
of the conditions noted it Is added that
county collections in many eases are re-
ported slow. though this is said 10 be due
to some extent to holding back of produce
on the part OF farmers or TO
when sold. The demand for funds

smaller than in back weeks. Dry goods

goods are quiet but steady. At some points
the retail demand is reported better.
The jObbing trade at Chicago is not ex-
pected 10 improve materially until mlder
weather sets in. Wool is firm and prices
well held, owing 10 light interior stocks and
relatively small supplies at seabOaad mar
kets. At the latter the weekly sales are
moderately large. Cotton is firmeT, spots
being q of cent and futures
about 10 points higher. This is
based apparently on the renewed
shOrt-crop talk, backed by decreased port
and inter-town receipts and by stronger
Liverpool and Manchester cables. Wheat
has had 10 suffer another season of shrink
age i'll prices, due in great part
to a fuller comprehension of the
supplies in sight at leading markets on both
sides of the Atlantic. The light gain i'm eX-
ports, based on the decline, did not seem to
stiffen prices, as English quotations
went OFF in the fear ap-
parently that America was about TO
unload its surplus wheat. The decreased
deliveries at Western primary markets on
account of snow and storm and the decline
of about 700, 900 bushels i'm the weekly vis-
ible supply failed to sustain the market,
which has been more active at the
decline. There appears To be less conf
dence in permanently higher prices for
wheat than before. Other grains have
sympathized with the depression in wheat.
Hog products. too. went of i'm price
but subsequently rallied on increased specu-
lative buying. The movement of grocery
staples is restricted. and there is no change
respecting dairy products. Iron continues
quiet the advance in bar prices agreed
on in Philadelphia is warranted. owing
TO the increased cost of raw material. Pig
shows no new features, and il is not inn.
probable it will be lower in May or June
than 1t is now. The advance of 80 cents
per ton in railway freight rates northward
for Southern pig iron is likely to partially
check free shipm ents in this direction.

THE WHEAT PROBLEM.


In his Bradstreet article on India and
the wheat situation, Mr.. JOHN w. Book
WALTER emphasizes the danger to the
American wheat trade with the statement
that the Indian farmer raises eleven bushels
of wheat per acre, although he plows the
ground with fOrked stick. Mr.. Book
WALTER is of impression that when such
results are obtained by the crudest methods
of tillage, the wheat yield will be doubled
or trebled when improved methods and ap-
pliances are employed in Indian agriculture.
1t is not probable that the land of India
will yield more bushels to the acre under
the improved methods of farming, but it
will be the means of opening up a larger
acreage to cultivation. There are i'm Indi
about $50. 600 square miles of land that have
never been cultivated, and which is suitable
for the culture of wheat. The English
government is making strenuous efforts to
induce the natives to open up large terri
tories in the Central and Northwestern
provinces that are. in the highest degree.
adapted to the growth of wheat. Improved
agricultural machinery is being ship
ped in large quantities to India. The
miles of new railway is contemplated, and
canal enterprises on a large scale are in
progress for purposes of irrigation and nav
igation. Nothing will be left undone by
the British government 10 induce the deyel-
opment of India's wheat-producing capacity.
Great Britain is the great food-consuming
country of Europe, and has always been
compelled to supply the deficiency of its
own product by purchasing abroad. That
country has been the principal market for
American wheat expectation. And herein
lies the danger to American wheat. Great
Britain will now look to India Tor its wheat
supply, because it can be had there more
cheaply than elsewhere Even though In
dian wheat and American wheat be quoted
at the same price in the Liverpool market,
it will be cheaper for Great Britain 10 buy
from India, because it can pay for Indian
wheat in articles of British manufacture on
which a profit is made. So far as the In
dian wheat trade is concerned, il is only a
development of one of the resources of the
British empire.
While there is no denial of the fact that
the Indian competition is a serious menace
to American wheat growing, still there is
left to the Northwest one element of Sc
curity that cannot be affected by India's
wheat product. India cannot compete with
us IN the production of hard wheat. In
view OF this fact it should be made mat
ter OF special attention on the part of our
Northwestern wheat growers to see that the
standard or our wheat is kept up. AS long
