each person 10 about forty-one cents.
Taking however, the larger figure,
fifty cents, we have to take instant
notice of the fact that it is an average
only. 1t is an average of the earnings
of all-rich and poor, strong men and
children. Nevertheless, as the largest
part of the workers of the community
is made up of laborers, mechanics, en-
ployes in factories, small farmers and
farm-hands, it is probable that the
true average of these latter would not
vary much from one dollar and half
for each worker, two dollars for each
family, and fifty cents for each person.
Looking at the matter in this form,
we get striking illustration of the i'm
portance of pennies Suppose every
person in the country were to save one
cent day, that would mean an ag-
gregate saving to the whole country Of
one hundred and eighty-three million
dollars year.
1t is also by this mode of observation
that we can see how the country recov-
ers from hard times. 1t is by an enor-
nous aggregate of petty savings Let
us show how this Isl
The gross income is made up of the
value of all productive labor. That
value is practically the same in any
two years which may be compared.
That is to say, the earth yields as large
crops on the whole; or if the crop is
smaller, the labor of producing it lis rs
great, and the price is higher.
So it is with cotton goods, or with
boots and shoes, or with iron. We can
not argue it out at length, but ask our
readers to accept the statement that
while the aggregate value of all pro-
duction varies slightly from year to
year, it fluctuates within narrow limits.
But while production is reasonably
stationary, consumption varies. When
men look twice at cent before spend
ing it, the country is growing richer,
because more of what is produced is
saved. And from this fact comes an
other, which is not usually accepted,
but is nevertheless true, that we grow
rich more rapidly in "hard times
than when business is active and every
body seems to be making money

QUICK GROWTH.
Fairly Maturity the Key-Note to Profitable
Pork Raising.


-POrkRaising.
1t does not require much arithmetic
to demonstrate that the sooner a hog or
any other animal can be brought to ma
turity the less will be the cost of pro-
duction, as the increased consumption
of food, when feeding literally and
securing the most rapid growth, can
not equal the amount required to pro-
duce given amount of growth by a
sort of starvation process. Of all
practices the old-fashioned one of keep
ing pigs on starving rations for a year
or fifteen months, with the idea of
doing all the fattenlng and growing
during three months in the fall. was
the most foolish. 1t was almost so
much time and feed lost; for the light
feed and slow growth of the pigs dur
ing the period named left them in such
stunted condition that they not
only did not grow during the
three months or less of stuffing,
to which they we're unused, but
did not even lay on fat, as good, thrifty
hogs should. The later experience Of
putting the early spring pig in the early
winter pork, keeping up the full feed
ing from the time of weaving until the
day of butchering, is much the more
rational and profitable. These spring
pigs are actually made, in these modern
times, to weigh as much as the eighteen
months old hogs used to under the
| e L Al Ia
pigs" and the pork is of better quality.
Six to nine months time and feed are
saved on the pig pushed right through
to maturity. These $50 TO 800 pound
porkers, when kept clean and fed or
good, wholesome food, furnished the
best kind of meat. The hams anC
shoulders are of just about the right
size to cure well, and they are sweetel
and tenderer than the hams of oldel
and larger hogs, Early maturity is thu
keynote to profitable pork-raising. =

The Harrisburg, (Pa.) Telegraph, in
hunting up the history Of free-trade In
England, has unearthed some chunk,
of wisdom that should be OF benefit to
the people, about this time when frse-
traders are making an effort to break
down the barriers of protection. The
history OF England is constantly re-
peating itself in the issues Of tariff and
Eee-trade. The Telegraph shows that
forty odd years ago what is now called
British free-trade was adopted mainly
under the leadership OF Golden, and his
effective efforts In that direction have
given him the place In general esteem
OF the father Of that policy. On the
14th OF May last, Mr.. Jennings In
Parliament offered resolution to the
effect that large portion Of the British
revenue should be raised from import
duties; and argued, after speaking OF
the prevailing depression in trade, that
the true remedy would be to levy duty
upon foreign manufactures entering
into competition with similar goods
manufactured there. This OF course
would be O return to the protective
policy, and 1t Is significant fact that
Mr.. Jennings represents the same
borough that Golden represented when
he made his first fight for free-trade,
and Sir William Cullen Brooks, who
seconded Jennings resolution, was 3
close friend OF Golden, and stood by
his side during his historical struggle
for free-trade. There would be an in
structive lesson in these facts for our
frse-trade friends II they would look at
the facts ss they are. The great
O'Connell free-trade fight WAS fol
cheap bread for the people, to whom II
was denied by the heavy duties levied
upon foreign breadstuffs In the
Interests of the landed aristooracy; and
the free.trade in manufactured goods
followed In an attempt to monopolizt
for England the manufactures OF the
world. Had the United States at tha
time, when her industries were in I
raw state, been Influenced by tn,
policy Of the English manufacturers
no doubt the policy would have sue
ceeded. The Telegraph, growing face
tious over the matter, says the Yanke'
foxes were wise enough to see that tn,
British fox had caught his tail in trsl
and declined to have their tails caugh
in the same trap. The result Is tha
we see greater inclination every yea
upon the part Of the British to returl
to their old system OF protection,
system that the free-traders OF thi
country are trying to have abrogated
We do not believe 1t will pay for tn
