PROTECTION AND FARMERS.

That our manufacturing industries,
which protective tariff has developed
says an authontive writer-tens to increase
the value OF farm lands, raise the price OF
farm products, ana increase the annual
income OF farmers is clearly shown by the
census report of 1880. j. d. Dodge. Sta
tlsticiau of Agriculture, IN his report for
1888, says:
The farmers feed all; but when all are
farmers he can only feed himself, which is
necessary operation bat not lucrative
business. This would seem to be self
evident truth. but extensive districts fail
to appreciate it. and cherish the per-
nicious fancy that home markets are un-
necessary, or that distant markets, thous-
ands Of miles away, are as good as those
at home. Minors, mechanics and especi-
ally artisans and operatives engaged in
productive occupations, are Of vast benefit
to agriculture for two reasons
/. They augment the number to be fed
and increase the agricultural values.
2. Tney make something themselves
which the farmers need, and reduce the
price Of commodities hitherto brought
from distance at unnecessary cost.
Mr.. Dodge divides the states and terri
tories into four groups. The first wherein
30 per cent are agriculturists and 20 per
cent in other professions ; second those
where more than 80 per cent ana less than
80 per cent are in agriculture those hav-
ing oven so aud less than 20 per cent farm
ers and fourth. those having 10 per cent
and over, engaged in agriculture;
The average value OF land in seven states
of the first group is S47 "a: in the second
group 1871; in the third Sie,70 and in
the fourth group s9.ol per acre. The agri-
cultural report shows the average annual
income Of farmers in the first group is
1857: in the Sc ond 1894; in the third
1851 and in the fourth Sl69.

ures are all right, but just the same, when

body but makes keen thinker of the
victim. II is estimated that there are
something over 1000 Americans in the
city OF New York who are now using
opium In the same manner and form as
the Chinese Most of these are said to
be well known and fashionable people as
indeed no other but people Of means and
OF leisure could ever be able 10 contract
such a habit
The opium dealing firms sell from'two
TO five cans per day, each can weighing
about four ounces. Most Of the wholesale
orders come from towns and cities In and
around New York state and only now and
then the sative American customers from
up town come in to buy their supply. Say
they only sell m average of three cans per
day. At wholesale rates, which is $S 35
per can for China imported goods, but
when retailed out by the fifty cents worth
at time it would bring it up to about
$40 10 Sll per can. AT $40, which is the
lowest possible price per can, sixty-six
cans amount TO $3.50 per day, or S240, 900
per year.
There are eleven joints. The majority
OF these import their own opium, said to
be direct from China, bat the greater part
OF which comes from Victoria, B. G.. One
Of THESE places, which is the best Chinese
joint in town, sells 1T retail ON Sundays
alone from ten to twelve cans, while the
second best place sells from eight 10 ten
cans on Sundays. On an average these
joints dispose Of five cans day. These
places calculate to make from 81 TO 50 on
each can Of Chinese imported opium, but
they are able TO make more when they
mix the Victoria in with tho pure. Thus
1t can easily be seen how nearly : ,000, 900
changes hands for opium each year.
According to Chinese San Francisco
papers they paid over $500, 900 for custom
house duties for the Chinese year just
ended or opium alone.-Wong Chin Foo

what we buy and get too little for what we
sell. A very unpleasant fact we admit.

abolished or controlled by law and here

GENERAL SHERIDAN DEAD.

General Sheridan was seized with an
other attack Of heart failure at o'clock
Monday evening and died three hours

years old last March. He will be succeed
ed by Gen. John NJ. Schofeld. The dc =
ceased rose from first lieutenant In 1861
to be one Of the greatest generals OF the
age. During his illness Congress revived
the rank Of general Of the army, and Pres.
idCnt Cleveland sent the nomination of
Gen. Sheridan to the senate on the date
OF the passage of the bill, and the ap-
pointment was at once confirmed. Flags
are ordered at half mast on all govern
ment buildings.

CHURcH's SCHEME

Aberdeen News.-The motive of the
love which Gov. Church and his Democ-
racy has for tn e farmers of Dakota is be-
ginning to show itself. Ii is not to elect
Harden, neither Is it to aid the farmers in
securing legislature which will write the
wrongs, but it is to secure the election of
a legislature with which Gov. Church will
be solid. The word has gene ont from the
farmers, from the business men, from the
professional men, from the lawyers and
from the doctors. from every class, except
from the Democratic politicians, that Coy.
Church's power must be reduced, and a
fight in this direction was Inaugurated.
Gov. Church understood its full meaning,
and TO checkmate the move the plan was
formulated TO fuse - if possible - with
farmers. Harden's nomination was the
beginning Of the movement, and the plan
Is now becoming plainly visible. 1t is a
neat trap, but it is doubtful If it Will spring
just as the governor hopes it will.
Mitchell Republican. 49, An ingerious
correspondent of the st. Paul Globe, from
Plankington, gives the Democratic legisla-
tive scheme a, ny in the following fashion.
Speaking OF the opposition to Sullivan il
Aurora county he says:
at Is believed that the mugwumps will
either contest the seats of the delegation,
chosen, or support a farmers or laboring
mems candidate. Either plan means Ger
tam victory for the democratic Legislative
ticket in this county"
The gist of the whole business is in the
latter proposition The Democratic plan
to get good working force in the next
legislature 10 strengthen the grip Of Gov.
Church on the territory, is to foster dis
sensioa in the Republican ranks wherever
possible. 1t is not too late, however, TO
checkmate these plans by perfecting Re-
publican organization in every county in
Dakota.
Devils Lake Inter Ocean. So II Gov.
Church can get enough votes out OF the
Farmers Alliance, through this man Harden
TO control the next legislature, he will
again be able to dictate terms to the law
making body of the territory. Two years
ago he succeeded in manipulating the leg
islature so as to increase his salary from
the legal sum of 81, 600 year to the Illegal
sum of $4,000. This was his first year as
governor Of Dakota. As this is very likely
to be his last year he will doubtless raise
it to $40, 600.
