Decreased exports mean an actual
loss to the material wealth Of the coun-
try. Reports show that there has been .
great falling of in the exports Of wheat
Notwithstanding the immense quantity
of grain in the country awaiting ship
ment abroad. The situation 10 such
that 1t becomes alarming and calls for
the immediate attention Of all who de-
sire the revival Of business prosperity.
Let rs deal for moment In figures In
proof Of what We have stated. In New
York city alone last year l, 403, 900, 600
bushels Of wheat were sold for future
delivery. AT first sight there would
appear nothing wrong in this, bus when
we state that this vast quantity Of
wheat was more than three times the
average crop Of the past two years, and
nearly sixty times more than the actual
receipts Of wheat In that city In the
whole Of 1885, our readers will begin TO
zee that very much is wrong. 1t shows
that II this quantity was sixty times
the receipt OF wheat In New York, the
real amount was about %, 400, 900 bush.
els. This being 80. then this wheat
was the shuttlecock and bAttledoor Of
wheat gamblers until 1t was sold sixty
times, sometimes TO the "bulls" and
sometimes to the "bears."
This statement will give some in
sight into the enormous extent to
which wheat gambling is carried. I.
Is bought cheap from the producer but
by q systematic scheme of gam bling IL
| Is forced above the export value and
there 1t lays dead upon the hands OF the
Ispeculatoro who form q combination
to shut out from the market all wheat
but that which they hold. The spscu-
lators who control the wheat exchange
have combined TO make the losses they
would sustain were wheat to drop down
TO its solid value.
Nobody in view of these facts will
deny that something should be done,
even il It should be legislation by Con-
gress 70 break mp the gambling In
wheat. The idea OF the spectators
who hold this vast quantity Of wheat,
the most OF 1t imaginary, is to hold on
to it until there shall DO demand for
1t abroad q. prices that will tida them
over without loss. But here they are
confronted with the disagreeable fact
that there are extra good crops OF whea,
In Russia, the Indies and in Australia
and consequently the time is uncertain
when there will be demand for theil
wheat Should the weight become too
heavy for them to bear, and should
they break down beneath the strained
weight, the honest people who suffer b,
their greed for pelf will have no tear
10 shed.

Members Of organizations object 70
the employment Of large number OF
boys in manufacturing or other in
dustriAl establishments, and contend
that they had better be at school. In
some instances they may be right, but
not in all. After boys have learned to
read, write and cast mp accounts COR
rectly, they are fitted Co learn q trade
Of some kind. Indeed 1t IL better that
they should do 30, as while they are
young habits Of industry and economy
are readily acquired, and labor becomes
. pastime instead OF q hardship. There
Ii no good reason that all boys should
remain ct school until they graduate
unless they design to study law, d.
vinity or medicine.
The learned professions are already
overcrowded, and unless q young mar
is possessed OF more than ordinary
talent, or has q wealthy father to fal
back upon, 1t is worse than folly
to attempt to make q livelihood
in that way. Many q poor lawyer
doctor VI preacher would have made 9
better blacksmith, wheelwright OF
farmer. The country is wide and Their,
should be living for all without q resor
to unnatural or artlfcia restraint. The
members Of the different profession
might ask for protection from the boy
with rs much propriety as the mem
bers Of any Of the labor unions In oul
land.
So long as boys are born they are en-
titled TO rs much consideration as men
and they should not be excluded from
any position they are fitted to fill
Why should fathers and mothers b,
forced to support boys who can carr
money TO pay for their board and cloth
ing and contribute something toward
the family fund? Is there reason, Il
there justice In such q denial. Let al
persons use their own eyes and on see
ing the unemployed multitude Of boys
ask themselves II they can consistent,
and honorAbly contribute to swell tn
number 2
1t will not do to kill off the boys q
old Herod did, nor yet attempt to starv
them to death, and he who cannot &c
along without artificial protection
against boy labor may we'll doubt hi
own proficiency as mechanic or hi
judgment in the disposition OF hi
wages or the management of hi
pscuniary matters.
In fact 1t may be that he needs 1
guardian to keep him from indulginj
too frequently In rotations Of beer o
other sEmulants, of pstronizing tn
theatre, the rink, the billiard saloon o
card table. The money thus throwl
away would constitute fund in few
years sufiieient to purchase house o
some business that would contribute h
Independence II not to wealth. Small
beginnings very frequently lead Il
large aooumulations. Glrard, Asto
and Vanderbilt and hosts OF other
commenced life at the foot of the lad
der, but they relied upon their own OF
forts, not upon organizations, TO
ability TO mount TO the top.

Democratic simplicity

Whenever q Republican President
gave set out " for the diplomatic
corps, Democracy was heard exclaim.
ing: tell you, sir, the Democracy
propose TO restore the simplicity Of the
fathers to the White House dining
room mark my words, the next Demo
cratic Administration will be distin-
guished by plain living and high think
ing" This was the kind of talk we
were accustomed to hear from Demo-
cratic platforms all through the late
campaign, and the people were led to
believe that Cleveland's bill OF fare
would be oatmeal Cruel, goldfish balls
and water, pork and beans, hog and
hominy and water, hash and water,
liver and water, ham and eggs and wa
ter, gingerbread, doughnuts and hard
cider and for dessert, candied pop
corn, ice water and water.
We have not heard yet from the mos
ardent Democrat that President Cleve
land has ever followed Jeffersoniar
simplicity by giving q ham and egg
dinner to the diplomatic corps. The
New York Times, an ardent Cleveland
paper, gives some account of the sim
plicity Of Democracy at the Whit.
House dinner, when the diplomatic
corps came in to dine. 1t says . Rrea
globe three feet in diameter sWunC

was represented by Japonica leaves
North aud South America was worked

in blue violets, Europe was a pale ROSE
color, Greenland in white carnations,
Africa In crimson carnations, Asia In
bright pink, Australia, New Guinea
and Borneo in pale pink, the Sand wict
Islands In red dots, and the North pole
was designated by star Of pink car
nations. But we must stop this elabo-
rate description Of the globe Ionly t.
say that the oorsage bouquets for tn,
ladies were composed of Jscquemino

ribbons used at such dinners. But thu

PHILADELPHIA, Tuesday. Jan. "a 1850.
We repeat and emphasize
a statement made a week or
two ago: Goods are going
to be higher.
You may think we arc
prophesying. Not so. A
merchant has to look ahead
and buy ahead. Do you
think he doesn't know when
prices begin to stiffen?
Here is a bit from the
Leagey's "ThiHgs in New
York" yesterday:
Signs Of active epring trade begin 20
be distinctly visible, especially among
the dry-goods jobbiag and commission
houses.
An active wholesale trade
means a recognition by retail
merchants over the country
of less depression, cheerier
feeling. 1t never comes
with a falling market. Com
ing, as it does, on a market
that has touched its lowest
depression long ago and
hung there month after
month in spite of manutac-
turt rs losses, closing oil
mills, and stagnation, what
ian it mean but a rises II
isn't prophecy. The rise has
begun.
1t belongs to the retail
merchant now to hold back.
The manufacturers are hav-
ing their turn. They will
run away with the market,
if we let them. But, while
we resist the rising tide, let's
be ready for it.

Red Pepper.
Spirit of the Farm.

Spirit of the Farm.
There is no condiment more sus-
ceptible of adulteration than cayenne
pepper, and probably none 80 often
abused. AS rule, sawdust properly
pulverized is more often used than
any thing else, but it has to be colored
to suit, and for that purposed red lead
is used. Flour made of the husk of
mustard seeds, rice -four and several
other compounds are used. 1t is an
easy matter to test red pepper to tell
whether or not coloring matters are
used in its preparation. Sprinkle a
little of the suspected pepper on white
paper, and with the finger draw it
across it. fred lines are made it is
red lead, as pepper does not stain the
paper. The pepper is made from
ground capsules, which grow in the
Indies, East and West, and is quite
costly, SO it pays well to adulterate it.
The man who sprinkles his oysters
with cayenne pepper would be great
ly outraged if he thought he was
using red lead, a poison-but he gen.
orally is.
