The same is true rs to agricultural labor
ers in 81 States, as compared with 20 farm
ing Counties in England. Even the negroes
in the South receive much more than the

Cotton operatives receive about Is per

operatives about 80 per cent more.
The Commission gives an elaborate table
comparing the expenditure of s., 900 by a

COMPARATIVE WAGES AND COST OF
LIVING,

The Manchester Courier, one of the lead
ing papers of England, publishes some of
the statistics obtained by the Royal Commits
sion on the Depression of Trade in 1886
which throws food of light on the absurd
claims of the Free Traders that the working
men in England receive practically as much
wages rs those in this country, and that their
wages will buy them more of the necessa-
ries of life. The first comparison given is
that of workers in machinery, and is for
weekly wages, as follows:

THE veterans cannot afford to wait any
longer. They are rapidly growing old, and
death is yearly making sad inroads upon
their numbers. The Free Traders and other
selfish conspirers against the country, on the
other hand are immortal. 1t will not hurt

III the discussion Of the Tariff and other
subjects is allowed to begin before that of
pension legislation, there is no telling when
it will end. Before this the veterans have
been defrauded of their rights by having
their measures crowded over to the last DAYS

time. Let us have none of this now. Begin
the session with the long delayed legislation,

1t was that there is not single one of the
leading dailies in New York controlled by
a native New Yorker. Two of them are
managed by Hungarian Jews, three by un-
naturalized Englishmen, one by Welchman,
and some of the others by immigrants from
various countries. This will explain the I'M

Agriculture the Mainstay.

At this season, when sundry con-
ceited members of our National and
State Legislatures are wont to oppose
all appropriations to promote the ag-
ricultural interests of the country, it
NAV be we'll to remind the 'Ekickers'
of something they do not know, or at
least fail to comprehend. They evil
IDENTIFY need information, and should
''read up as to who produces the
wealth and continuous prosperity of
this emphatically Rural Republic.
Touching upon the points, Lecturer
Whitehead, of the National Grange,
very pertinently observes that some
people do not seem to realize the i'm
portance of agriculture in the affairs
of our nation, or how it. is the real
foundation of all trade and commerce.
The farmers, tobacco and cotton
planters, and the raisers of beef, cat
tie and hogs, furnished seventy-three
per cent. of all the exports that con-
tributed the basis of our exchanges
with foreign countries during last
year. The official reports for 1888
show that the total value of all eX-
ports of domestic merchandise was
$683, 1862, 1O4. OF this aggregation
of exports of all kinds amounted to
$5OO,84O, 900, while the total amount
of our manufactured products was
but 1888, 1922, 018. The backbone,
therefore, Of all our dealings with
foreign countries is our agricult ure.
ELECTRICITY IN AGRICULTURE
interesting series of experiments is
| being carried on at the Hatch Exper-
| iment station, in Amherst, Mass, by
Prof. G. D. Warner. It is theory
of his that electricity has very much
to do with the decomposition of soils
and the preparation of their plant
| foods for the nourishment of plants.
So he has planned experiments ac-
cordingly. He recently said to re-
porter: ESuch experiments have new
er been attempted in this country.
There was one man in France who
gave the matter a good deal of atten-
ton, and he found that the develop
ment of plants can be improved from
one to six times by electricity" We
think it is safe to say that if the cleo
tricity of the earth should be with
drawn, or its currents in any way Sc
riously interrupted, little vegetation
would appear on its surface. But
there is no fear of such contingency.
The problem to be solved is, to what
extent and in what way does cleo
tricity effect the growth of plants,
and how far can man control and di-
rect this element to his advantage?
Some cows may prefer cold water
and some prefer warm, as has been
shown by experiment; and the same
COW may prefer cold water at one
time and warm at another, according
to conditions
