How the East Taxes the West.

Tn an article discussing the effect of protection in the United States. replete with fact and strong argu- ment, from which further extract is made elsewhere, the White County Wheel says:
 The average wealth of each ln- habitant of the industrial states, counting the poorest with u ( richest af them, is Sl230 per capi- ta, while that of the nlne states of Alabama. Arkansas, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Michi gan, Minnesota, Nebraska and Kansas is cn.v %j!3 To show the contrast u"r pihitlE ,h" Av- craze wealth "t ,dcH hrI>"n III Massachusetts k more than five times that in Arkansas, and the average wealth of each person ill Rhode Island is five times that ill Alabama.
 These facts, which are anthem tie, are not merely significant.- They prove, with stubborn truth, that the conditions, fixed by our fiscal laws, under which the manu- featuring and agricultural classes labor, are unequal aud unfair, - Mere individual prosperity is not good evidence with which to i'm peach any system of law. Under the same conditions and in the same business, with entirely equal chances, one man will prosper and another fall This represents a 1 far contest between brains, ener' gy and capacity for winning busl, ness. But this rule cannot apply 10 classes and sections, except as the result of great natural or arti- ticial advantage.
 The people of Massachusetts are not more industrious than the people of Arkansas. and in point of climate, soil and other things the latter have the decided advan- tage. The one is q manufacturing and the other an agricultural state, and, under equal conditions, their prosperity would go hand m together. But the best evidence that these conditions are not equal is furnished by the fact that the nine industrial states, with only one-fourth of the population of the United States, are in posses sion of two.thirds of its wealth. Senator Vest tersely accounted for this when he said that the tariff was like huge COW that fed in the west aud yielded her milk to the east.

The Farm Horse.

Occasionally we meet horse said 10 be good on the road, on the blow or in any place. This is what we want to raise, and this must be horse of good size and proportion. A short body, broad deep chest, with loins and hips in proportion, legs medium length, full and tapperiug down to the knee and gamberel joints, and short, fiat and strong below these joints, making the legs perfect lev. CTS; feet strong and sound mot too large,) and well under the legs. Many horse with a fine body is of little value because his legs are not equal to his body. The neck should be set so as to carry the head fine. broad between the eyes, showing intelligence, with a full nostril. Such a horse from the nature of hIs construction has good action and the power of en- durance. Such a horse will sell readily for his full value, while an other horse must be shown repeat. edly, and the disirrable qualities must be made so prominent that the objectional points will be over looked Ethan Brooks.

In 1878 the fire losses of the United States were S6i, ilj ,O0O' The increase over this sum amOm- ted to S20,000,000 in 1882 and to S4O. 100000 in 1885. For the pres. ent year it will be still Iarg CT. In view of the steady im- provment of fire departments and fire apparatus, the only reasonable explalfat.on of this steady increase in hre losses is an increase care lessness for which easy insurance is responsible. People do not let their houses burn, but they do not prevent them from burning as they would if the loss was entirely their own. The total of the losses this year IS expected to reach Sl25,000,00O, and even though this amount had been put in circu- Iation by the construction of new buildings. the fact remains that it IS that much copital totally and lrretrievable destroyed and thus really withdrawn from all posSi- bilities of circulation It is the loss, not only of the insurace com panies, but of the country and ev- erybody in it, averaging over >2 a head for the entire popuIalion.-- St. Louis Republican,.

How Agriculture is Robbed.

All the arguments are in favor ot fair (not free trade. It is unjust that the many should be taxed to make the business of the few i'm mensely profitable. In consequence of the iniquitouS tariff the rich are becoming richer and the poor poorer every day. There IS plenty of money in the United States, but it is piled mountain high in the east and owned by a few. Agricultural countries have little of it. .ad in fact,o fourth Of all tue the farms in the West and South are now under mortgage to the sterile Eastern States, which wehave made dangerously wealthy by gift of five million year, for the priyelege of buying from them As we showed from the official
 figures of the census, the demo crats went out of power with the wealth or the country equally d. vided between the agriculturlists on one hand and all other indust- ries on the other, but now after twenty-six years of protective tariff, the agriculturalist sown less than one-ffth of all, the balance is in the hands of favored few who have been "protected."

 The women in Russia do two thirds of the work m the country. There are immense wheat oat and hay fields everywhere, and in Aug gust there is great activity in the country. The large.najority of per sons at work are women. They wear short dresses, plain and straight, and a long piece of cloth over their heads like Arabs. The wheat is sown broadcast, and If not cut by the women with sickles is harvested with the old fashioned scythe, which is two pound sheath and broad short blade. From the snead up the handle there is a wooden bow something like in appearance, the half ot d heavy barrel hoop. This bow keeps the wheat. etc., from falling back over the scythe handle and scattering. l have never yet seen a man who would deign to gather up, bind and stack the wheat or oats when once it was felled. The women must do this while the men do the ''gentlmaulA" work, al though l have seen many women cutting grain with the scythe. The neighbors club to gether and help one another. A Russian harvesting rendezvous is quite lively, and a scene of moteley crowd. The old and young boys and girls. with their mothers, and grandmothers and aged women assemble at daybreak. There are a number of horses on which are carried water food and extra Im- dement's The horses the boys and men ride, while the old wo- men walk. They always carry the scythes, forks and rakes back and forth every day, and work as long as as there is daylight; and since it is day break at , m. and not dark until 9;30 D. m., the hours of labor are long ones'-Moscow let tprS

A CURIOUS DISCOVERY.
The Sensation Created by a Jap-
 anese Woman!

A young Japanese peasant wO- man has created genuine sensa- ton in the medical circles of the east with d new theory and cure of rheumatism.
 Her theory is that it is caused by small insect under the skin that gnaws and bites the muscles and thus causes the twinge of pain and the untold misery of that all ment.
 \ glizzled and skeptIcal sea captain placed himself under her care and, alter foot baths of bran and hot rice brandy, she nipped from his knees small white insects by the dozen!
 the regular practitioners were skeptical about this new theory and put one of the insects under a microscope. They decided that by it's organism it never could have lived under the suface of the skin.
 The Captain insist however, that the Japanese women taken has the insects from his knee and ank- les by the hundreds in his sight, and killed them, and that he grows better after each treatment!
 This theory, absurd as 1t seems, is really not much more so than the theories formerly held by the medical fraternity. It used to be thought a trouble of the joints, and wa. demonstrated that the treatment brought no lasting re, suit.
 Then as the mucles were effect ed. 1t was set down aa muscular disease. but the same unSatiStact " results followed. Now it Is uni versally acknowled to be fiery condition of the blood caused by the presence of uric acid iu the system.n
 To cure It the uric acid must be driven out of the blood, which is done by putin. the kidneys II a healthy condition with Warner safe cure, and putting out the fire in the blood"by Warner's safe rheumatic cure. These remedies taken alternately, as they should be, drive out the uric acid already in the blood, and prevent further accumulation James Wight, O 8 E. 10th St. New York, was fol many yearsa victim of ofrheumatism and tired various remedies anC cures without avail. Sept. $, loS' he writes in praise of the remedies named and says: am now tree from the arrow stings of the dread ed infiamatory rheumatism. have and always will recommend Warmers rheumanic remedies tt ali sufferes of the disease"
 The Japanese peasant woman, theory will not be likely to stand the test of time and scientific in vestigation, but the thousands oi cures made by the remedies men ton above prove their merits be yond all question.

A Vassar Girls Story.

A recent Vasssr graduate was relating
some of her experiences as housekeeper
during the illness of her mother and was
commenting upon the indisposition of
servant girls in the United States to black
the boots of the men of the family. In
households in England, she said, where
there is only one hired girl the polishing
Of the mems shoes is accepted by her as
one of her duties. Then another Vassar
girl recalled the time when number OF
her classmates helped TO shine the boots
of gentleman visiting at the college. He
was and is still a trustee of Vassar. He
occupied one Of the guest chambers, and
when he went to bed he left his shoes out
side the door as if he were in hotel.
Some of the girls who were up at an early
hour saw the boots. and thought it would
be good joke to Go the bootblack act
themselves. They did, and when they re-
turned the shoes they stuck in each q
handsome bouquet of flowers. The trus-
tee was half abashed 2ld altogether sur
prised when he realized how he had been
honored. Tradition though this occurred
but little while age tells his name as
that of Benson J. Losing, the historian.

Chicago Grain and Produce.
CHICAGO, Jan. 19-The sparkle and frzz
which were the features OF the opening
markets yesterday were lacking today.
All of the markets opened quiet. The ex-
element had very evidently died out in
pork, as the Opening price for May was
$40, precisely where it closed. From
this price it Advanced to Sl44215 and si4.45,
but by 1:30 it had reacted TO Sl4.30. There
was not much selling pressure, the absence
of outside orders seeming to have more to
do with the decline than any bear opera
tions. One sale of $4,000 barrels of May
pork was made at $l425. the lowest
price of the season, but most of the trading
was unimportant and of a scalping nature.
Trading in lard and ribs was smaller in
volume and of a local character, prices
ranging within a 5@l0c range. Toward
the close of the session prices firmed up
considerably, May pork closing at $3.50,
May lard at S7.55@I571z and May short
ribs at s1.n15.
Both corn and wheat opened a trife
firmer. May wheat started at S355MS31Zc
Little interest was developed in the first
hour, May wheat ranging between SIC
and S314c, and at the end of the hour the
pit was almost deserted 1t became evil
dent as the day advanced that grain values
would go lower. Wheat and corn were
both raided at the time by local opera
tors, and there was considerable selling and
cancelling the orders on country account.
May wheat was forced down to S2150S25Ec
shortly before noon. May wheat closed at
S2js@s3c.
Corn was dealt in more largely than any
of the other markets The selling on
country account, aided by local operators,
being quite liberal May opened at 53Lc
and during the first hour ranged between
that figure and $3.50. Shortly before noon.
before the heaviest selling, it touched
52@sc but covered by local houses caused :,
reaction and il closed the session at 53kc
There was heavy trade in oats, but the
market weakened considerably. The peo-
pie who bought the stuff thrown oyer
board became Disguised at the course of
the other markets and sold out again May
sold down TO 322$lc and closed at 334c.
