1t is related that Ira Trip, a million

habit. Fol- many years he smoked cigars

negro to smoke all day near him and blow
the smoke into his face. The negro did
this for years until he died, and his place.

in perfect health. His smoker uses about
twelve fine cigers a day. Tripp seems
to derive great enjoyment from this Sec

A Washington dispatch says: Postmas-

by ~boycotting him in every way, and
finally in burning down an old building
which he had succeeded, with great diff
Guilty, in securing for a postofice. In
view of these facts, Mr.. Wanamaker de-

was a quite interesting little volume of

mated at Working, being the second of

matory. A small oak chest containing
her ashes was then buried in a Jewish

me, if my good brother Williamson
will say that he will take charge of
the manufacturing establishment, /
will withdraw my feenle opposition &c
the scheme, and advocate 1t, because
! will then feel that he work will TIA
fairly and honestly done, and that the
people will be justly dealt with.
Thinking over it again, | am glad
the types made me make a statement
that the fallacy was self-evident. It
brought out my good brother that [
learned to respect and love in our
State Convention, and it gave me a
chance to tell the so, 900 readers of
The PRoGREssIvE FARMER that | have
had the opportunity of noticing our
Business Agent for the last month,
and l am proud to say he is a worker;'
and better than all, he works with
judgment. He hits the nail on the
head every time he strikes.
While the trusts have increased
the cost of raw goods over $3.50 per
ton recently, yet his contract is with
the manufacturer, not a dealer, nor
an introduction company, and has
made them very low, When he gets
his catalogue out, you will find that
guanos will not be as costly as in the
past, although dealers will have to sell
at higher prices than before, and you
will see the advantages, financially,
the Alliance is giving US.
F~raternally yours,
OLD FoGY.

"CONVICT LABOR"

Mr.. EDIToR:-In your issue OF
September Oath, Bro. Williamson re-
views my article of the Sd inst. with
above caption.
The types made me say "That if
work cost nothing, guanos could not
be made cheaper than now.
"Only So per ton" was omitted,
and should have appeared between
the words made and cheaper.
1 write so hurriedly, and badly,
and very frequently talking and writ
ing at the same time, that it is a
wonder that the "typos" get me as
nearly correct as they do.
When | read the article as it ap-
peared in your paper, [ at first thought
of calling attention to the error but
the statement that followed, besides
the hand labor on a ton of guano is
less than 81 per ton, 10 that, at the
best the saving could only amount to
$4,000 annually, 1 thought made it
needless.
The facts are, hand labor in grind
ing and preparing a ton of guano as
less than So per ton, in factories
where phosphate rock is used. Con-
Wet labor would cost something
guards, food, clothing, and transpor-
tation, so that | admit that there
might be a difference in favor of on
Wet Iabor-made guano of 81 per ton.
l thought if the State had it done
there would be a LOB" My good
brother thinks State work would not
be prudent for he says al would not
ask a State to establish a fertilizer
factory, etc."
If not the State then it would be a
corporation OF company. It seems to
me that corporations and companies
look out for themselves and I cannot
see how that would benefit us.
Our State Agent has contracted for
high grade phosphate rock, ground
and calculated, at $3.50 per ton.
My good brother Williamson says:
every ton of fertilizer sold in the
State costs from SIS to $40 more than
1t should. Taking the lowest profit
ne mentions, SIS per ton from Bro.
Worth's contract price, that would
leave $3.50 to pay for rock, mining,
grinding, calculating and sacking.
The manufacturer will sell it for
Sl.5O per ton less in bulk than in
sacks. That reduces the goods to
Sc per ton. Our constitutional
defender" will readily see that the
rock and acidulation costs more than
30 per ton, so that there is not the
profit in the manufacturing he sup
poses, that is if he intends to convey
the idea that the SIS or $40 per ton
relates to the subject of labor and
manufacturing.
manufacturers frequently make less
on their capital than 8 per cent. The
Soluble Pacific Co., with the finest
manufacturing plant of it's kind in the
world, and with the finest natural ad.
Vantages became bankrupt. The mis-
take lies here. The Introduction
company and the agents have made
fortunes out of the farmer. The verv
urn with which Bro. Worth has
contracted for Alliance goods has
made for 20 or more companies in .

COMING NEW WORDS.
A dangerous Fad Affected by Poets. he-
pOrters and Preachers.

Dangerous Fad Affected by Poets, he-
pOrters and Preachers.
DR.. Austin Phelps says that as a very
sanity man can bear to be seen carry
ing flask of brandy in the street, so
the reputation of very scholarly man
will bear occasional departures from
good English.
For instance, James Russell Lowell
may coin such words as ''cloudbergs,
''otherworldliness'' and ''Dr. Watsi-
ness, and Coleridge may coin mat
ter-of-factness." An exceptional in
diligence is allowed to these scholarly
critics, though even they would scarce
ly expect to see such unlicensed coin
ing acknowledged by standard die
tionary.
The most fertile but certainly not the
best qualified coiners of new words are
found among reporters, who are forced
TO write rapidly. They coin many
words by often adding the termination
lie" to .substantives, for example:
'ieopardize," ''municipalize, y Char
tize," 'deputize" and 'burglarize. :"
About one word in a hundred of re-
porters' coinage remains in circula-
ton; the rest are stamped as ''coun-
terfeit, " even by newspaper readers,
and hardly pass dozen mouths.
Preachers are also addicted to coin
ing new words. Their method is to
join two good words by means of hy-
phen. Every Sunday their hearers.
who love monosyllabic words which
are both forcible and correct, are irri-
tated at hearing such hybrids as
''heaven-descended, ''soul-destroy-
ing" God fearing and ''God-defy-
ing
Professor Phelps aptly calls such
words 'long-winded, long wasted.
long-tOngued. long-tailed aud long
cared compounds" and says that very
few OF them are authorized English.
All OF them are a drawl in expression,
and tend 10 form a mannerism which
runs to such extremes as these two
specimens OF tape-worm English, quo
ted from novels by female authors;
