Born in Spencer. Mass, in 1895, he came to
New York sixteen years later with an excellent

CLEVELAND MILLIONAIRES

Cleveland Special to Chicago Tribune.
Mr.. H. NJ. Flagler said short time ago
that Mr.. John d. Rockafeller's income had
reached $90000O0 year. This startling
statement, coming from man as well in
formed as Mr.. Flagler regarding the af-
fairs of the Standard Oil Company, was
the basis of careful inquiry among bro
kers and well informed fnanciers as to
the wealth of CleyelanderS generally, and
it can be safely said that there are no less
than siXty-three milliOnaires within the
limits of the Forest City, to say nothing
of Immense estates owned jointly by heirs
Mr. Flagler's statement regarding Rock
efeller'S income would make the head of
the great Standard Oil Trust worth $780,
100000 on a six per cent. basis. He said
his own income was S30O0O00 year, and
estimated Colonel Oliver Payne's wealth
at about S22,000,000. But the Standard
Oil people are not the only wealthy resi-
dents of Cleveland whose holdings are
represented in seven and eight figures
Selah Chamberlain is worth S16,000000
most of which is invested in the best of
railway securities, and the S. V. HarkneSs
estate, divided but short time ago be-
tween Mrs. Anna NJ. Harness and three
sons, is said to have footed up S28,000O00
The combined wealth of Jeptha Il. Wade
and his grandson, Homer Wade, who has
already inherited an immense fortune, is
certainly not less than 100000.

THE ARMIES OF EUROPE.

Kari Blind, iH North American Review for August.
By the new law, owing to the recent
threatening aspect of the European stu
alton in the East and West, the standing
army of Germany has been brought up to
upward of 5OO,OO0-or $4,000, if the men
on leave, liable to immediate recall, are
added. In case of war, this body can be
brought up, by calling in the first reserves,
to upward of 100000 men. For opera
tive purposes a further addition of 1,310,-
600 men may be made through the Land
aoehr. If the supplementary Reserve is
put ON its legs, this would give further
force of 1, ,465,000. Total, in round num-
bers, 3,S00,O0O men. But if the Land
Sturm also were called out, nearly $780,
600 would be under arms The prospect
is a saddening one. At Germany's East
ern flank, however, Russia processes to be
able to raise an army of 100000 men.
On Germany's Western flank, France may
call out more than 100000. Being be-
tween two Powers of historically aggres-
sive character, Germany can not disarm
before the others do, though the heaviness
of the afmor presses on her most weight
lily. 1t is for her question Of national
existence or extinction.

TALKS ON THE TARfFF.

New York Press.
Many English statesmen are doubtful
about the value of the petted free trade
theory. Here is an extract from speech
made by Lord Randolph Churchill in
1884, which is tariff talk in itself:
Turn your eyes where you like, you
will find mortal disease. The self-satis-
fed radical philosophers will tell you it
is nothing; they point to the great vol
ume of British trade. Yes, the volume
of British trade is still large, but it is a
volume which is no longer profitable. 1t
is working and struggling; so do the
muscles and nerves of the body of a
man who has been hanged twitch and
work violently for short time after the
operation. But death is there all the
same, life has utterly departed and sud-
denly comes the rigor mortis.
"Well, with this state of British in
dustry, what do you find going on? You
find foreign iron, foreign wool, foreign
silk and cotton pouring into the coun-
try, sinking you, swamping you; your
labor market is cOngested, wages have
sunk below the level of life, the misery
in our large towns is too frightful to
contemplate, and emigration and star
walton is the remedy which the radicals
offer you with the most undisturbed
complacency. But what produced this
state of things? Free imports? 1 am
not sure; should like an inquiry; but 1
suspect free imports of the murder of
our industries, much in the same way as
if found man standing over corpse
and plunging his knife into it. l should
suspect that man of homicide, and l
should recommend coroner's inquest
and trial by jury"

FARM WAGES IN GERMANY.

Extract from the Address of Mr. Murat HalStead,
at Cincinnati, Saturday night.
Germany is the mightiest military en-
pire upon the earth. There never has
been anything like it. The LegiOns of
Rome would not compare with the corps
d'dTmee of Germany. 1t is superb coun-
try-nOble rivers, picturesque mountains,
far-reaching fields reaching to the hori-
zon, all glittering in the green and gold of
the luXuriant summer. 1t is a favored
land. The Emperor is young man of
unusual gifts. Nowhere else has govern
ment been made such science and so
comprehensive; but apply to it this one
test: What has this government done ?
What are the conditions in this land for
the poor man? | was in Germany in the
midst of the harvest time. You know
something of the wages of the laborers in
the harvest fields of this country. | can
not 90 into the details of these affairs, but
will say that the wages of the harvest
hands in that part of Germany where
spent my time are sixty-eight pfennigs
per day. They get up at O'clock in the
morning and are in the fields until in
the evening, and they have so far to walk
that they have to leave home an hour be-
fore they go to the fields and have anoth-
er hour TO return. They have an hour re-
cess at noon and half an hour for break
fast. A pfennig is the one hundredth
part of mark, and mark is twenty-five
cents. If you figure that out, you will
find that the wages in the harvest fields
for fifteen hours of labor is something less
than nineteen cents per day. A great
part of the work is done by women, and
their wages is one-third less, or about
thirteen cents. That is what the imperi-
al splendOr of this most majestic empire
results in when it comes down to the la
borers on the soil. ] do not want to take
part in the advocacy of policy that
would reduce the farmers of my country
to that rate of compensation.

CONCERNING sharp remarks of Repub-
blican newspapers about the necessity
of reducing the tariff on staples that are
controlled by trusts, the New York
World says: ''The skies will fall and ev-
erybody can have lark pies when a Re-
publican Congress shall strike an effect
i've blow at these tariff trusts and mo-
nopolies." 1t also seems just to remark
that the public will be able to enjoy the
Iuxuries of cloud pudding and potted
larks when Democratic Congressman are
ready to strike off the sugar duties and
hit death blow at the Whitney and
Payne Standard Oil Trust.

TREE CULTURE.

Correspondent of the Kansas Farmer.
The great necessity of forests, and their
| importance as supply of fuel, for man
ufacturing purposes, for their influence
on the climate of country, in tempering
| the extremes of the heat If summer and
! in modifying the cold of winter, by pre-
venting the radiation of heat, and for the
effect on the rainfall, will be recognized
| by all. A few instances may be cited to
show the effect timber has had in modi-
! flying or changing the climate and rain
| fall of country.
Asia Minor was once fertile land and
supported much larger population than
at present. 1t is referred to in the Bible
as land flowing with milk and honey
How different tO-day-a barren waste of
sand and rock, without timber or vegeta
ton of any kind to temper the fierce glare
of a Semi-trOpical sun. Travellers who
have visited that land are surprised at its
barrenness and that it could have been
the fertile country it was 1,500 years ago.
The destruction of the forests has un-
doubtedly been the chief cause in pro-
ducing this change, by producing less
rainfall.
Other places may be referred to where
the clearing away of the forests has af-
fected the climate and rainfall. Spain is
not as fertile country now as in the time
of Columbus, and unless something is
done to check the destruction of the for
ests it will only be question of time
when that country will be desert.
The climate of Italy is also being chang
ed from the same cause, but not to such
a great extent. Humboldt says: By fell
ling the trees covering the mountains
and hills under all zones men prepare
{" for the coming generation a two-fOid
plague, a lack of fuel and lack of wa
ter
On the other hand, the planting of for
est trees has great effect on the climate
and rainfall of a country. Lower Egypt
formerly did not receive drop of rain,
but now twenty or thirty days of drlZzling
rain occur annually, and this change has
been effected by the planting of millions
of trees in that country in the last few
years. Many such cases could be cited
to show the effect produced by the change
in the forest area of country, but this is
sufficient to show that tree-culture should
be encouraged, especially in countries
where the area of timber is limited.
The forest area of Nebraska is small,
probably not over two per cent. of the en-
tire surface of the State is covered by nat
ural forests. Tree culture has been en-
couraged by the State since 1876, when
Arbor Day was made a legal holiday
Since that time millions of trees have
been planted. These trees, with the cul-
tivated land, have been the direct cause
of the increase of rainfall in the State
The rainfall has been steadily increasing
for the last fifteen years. What was once |
a barren waste and totally unfit for farm !
ing is now the best agricultural section of |
the State. Timber increases the amount |
of moisture in country by preventing
radiation of heat, by shading the ground |
and retaining the moisture longer, and by
keeping the atmosphere cooler, thus pro-
ducing condensation and rainfall

illustrated by report, which comes
from Michigan town, that drunken
