American Farmer: June is in
many respects the most important
month Of all to the fruit garden:
Strawberries and raspberries need
thorough cultivation and such
cultivation will pay too, for
between now and the middle Of July
these plants will do most Of their
growing, and should have the soil all
to themselves. There's no room fol
weeds now. Currants and gooseber'
ries will quickly show the effects q
cultivation even though they may con-
tinue to grow for some months. 1t is
all important that they should not be
choked now.

A NEW EXPLOSIVE.

Duluth Tribune: The ingenuity Of
American inventors has discovered a
new explosive which will probably
supersede all others in warfare. It is
called Americanite- patriotic name.
1t is manufactured in Virginia. It is
said that it is not affected materially
by changes IN temperature nor by
exposure to the atmosphere. 1t can
be exploded by a gun-powder fuse
and can be detonated without the
use of illuminate. 1t has more energy
than dynamite, and unlike that COM
pound can be handled with absolute
safety. This is probably only a be-
ginning Of the improvement which
will be made in explosives for the
purpose of destructive warfare. 1t
would seem that warfare has become
so dangerous already that the time Of
standing armies will be but short-lived.
When warfare becomes 80 dangerous
as to involve the entire obstruction of
the great cities and the commerce of :
great country in a few weeks, disputes
will be settled without war, and
standing armies will be thing Of the
past.

THE BOOM SCALE.

Lumberman: The surveyor gen.
eral has completed the scale of logs
turned to the mills up to the list Of
June. The amount is the largest ever
got out up to that date, the footings
showing 569, POI logs, scaling 60, S22,-
$50 feet. This is more logs than had
been turned out up to the middle Of
July last year. In 1887 and last
year there was no scale made up to
June LIST, the first footing being made
to July LIST. In 1883 the June LIST
scale showed only 9,140,990 feet, and
in 1889, 34,934,98O feet. If from
this on. logs are got out no faster than
they were last year, the cut will ex-
coed 400,000,O00 feet. The prospects
are that lumber will be manufactured
during the remainder of the season
faster than it was last year.

How Swedish Immigrants Travel.

From the New York Sun. May 50. 1891.
A noticeable feature OF the immi-
grant travel to the West IL the CON-
fort and speed with which the Swedes
and Norwegians travel, compared
with people Of other nationalities.
1t sometimes requires four or five
days for immigrants to reach Chtca-
go, and they are often taken through
on freight trains, getting their meals
at odd intervals, as best they may.
This never happens with the Swedes,
for their welfare is looked after by a
firm whose patronage Is an object to
the railroad companies.
Few firms are better known among
passenger men than A. E. johnson
& Co., to whom the New York, Onta-l
rio & Western Railway rendered two
special trains last night to carry out
q party of 500 Swedes and Danes
that arrived yesterday on the steam
ship Hekla, of the Thingvalla line.
Eight hundred clean and intelligent
immigrants came over on the vessel.
The two trains went out as second
sections to the regular express train,
and Messrs A. E. Johnson & Co., on
whose prepaid orders they came, re-
ceived the promise from the Ontario
and Western and the Grand Trunk
that the party would reach Chicago
in thirty-six hours, few minutes
later than the regular express train
on the Grand Trunk. They will get
special trains also to St. Paul, and
arrive in that city on Monday.
Messrs. A. E. johnson & Co. con-
troll a large share OF the Swedish
travel, and they have only to suggest
what they want and the companies
comply. General Manager Doane, OF
the Immigrant Clearing House, cheer
fully let's Messrs. A. E. johnson &
Co. route the people Of the national4
ity to which they themselves belong.
For" a long time the trunk lines
fought A. E. johnson, but they had
to give in.

A Big Log for the Chicago Fair.


SEATTLE, June 5.-Yesterday there
arrived in this city a great log, which
is to be sent to Chicago as a specimen
Of Washington timber. 1t vas select
ed by D. soper. Of Chicago, who came
to Puget Sound for the purpose Of
shipping one of the famous trees
The one selected was found at North
Bend, King county, and measures,
after being squared, 53x51 inches
across the butt, and when placed on
the trucks, was 113 feet long, but two
feet had to be chopped off in order to
ship it, and it is now Ill feet long.
1t is a fine specimen Of Washington
yellow fir and, examined by glass,
showed AL rings. This would seem
to make it AL years old, if the gener-
ally accepted theory may be relied on.
1t was felled by Jose & Son, who,
after topping it, sunk a pit parallel
to the trunk, along which they placed
one pair Of logging trucks. 1t was
drawn by four span Of big Norman
horses on 60-foot rail loggers' road
3,AO feet long, and with three bridges
across creeks. 1t occupied four days
to reach the track Of the Seattle; Lake
Shore & Eastern, where Superintend-
ent Dunn had ready three 34-foot fiat
cars, upon which it was hoisted by
jacks.
The log, which is to be called the
Seattle" will be on exhibition in
New York city for a time before being
taken to the Worlds Fair.

WAGES n THE UNITED n STATES.

WAGES IN THE UNITED STATES. |
From the American Economist. :5 Is III
There Is no reason whatever why
every man in the United States should
not he willing to pay such rates Of
wages and such prices Of commodities
Is shall naturally result from the free
and unrestricted competition Of sll
our own people.
When trade between a people is
perfectly free, as in this country, there
on, the average and in the
long run be higher wages paid to
those employed in one industry than
to those in another. Wherever any
one industry gives indication that the
compensation paid to those engaged
in it is on the average greater than
the compensation paid in other occu-
patiohs, the industry paying the high
er compensation is invaded by men
from the occupations paying less, and
thus wages constantly tend to an
equalization. This invasion may con-
tinue to point at which, by the over
stocking of the labor market in the
favored. industry, wages may finally
decline to a point lower than the av-
erage rates prevailing in other indus.
tries.
Under the Democratic policy, if
wages fall in Europe our industries
stand in danger Of destruction. On
the other hand, while protesting to be
the special friend Of the workingman,
the Democratic party would set
on foot policy which would render
impossible anv increase in the wages
of our own people.
1t is sometimes charged as Il re-
proach against the protective policy
that in some special protected indus
try wages tend to minimum. Where
this occurs it IS an unerring indication
Of the vicious distribution of indus
tries, and one of the most distressing
consequences of their maladjustment.
The remedy indicated is, not a reduc-
ton Of the tariff, but a wider diversi-
fication and distribution of industries,
80 that all persons who want employ
ment may not he compelled to seek it
in the same occupation.
1t is obvious that if industries be
relatively few, with large numbers Of
men seeking employment, those men
must distribute themselves as best
they may, and without. intelligent ad-
justment, among the. few industries in
operation. If a larger number enter
into any special pursuit than are
needed to meet the demands of pro-
duction in that production wages will
inevitably decline. The function of a
protective tariff, carried to its farthest
limit, is to obviate the necessity for
this. Its tendency is to encourage
the establishment Of variety Of in
dustries and so to increase opportuni-
ties for employment, not in one or two
but in great diversity of occupa-
tions.
