Well, an increase of 81 per cent. in the
price of oats is not bad
Oats per bushel in 1889, 23.Oc; oats
per bushel in 1890, 424c.
How the free traders would howl if
any manufactured goods had advanced
at this rate. And yet it is better for the
country that the farmer should receive
fair price for his products.
The Republican Clubs at Cincinnati
few days ago distributed 1,500 tin
souvenirs for the button hole. They
were sought as eagerly as though they
were gold and silver. Here are the wag-
es of tin smiths at home and in Eng
land:
Average daily wages-Tinsmiths
England, $1.10; United States, $500.
The souvenir button not only repre-
sented the starting of new industry
worth ten million dollars annually in
wages, but it was an emblem of Amer
lean wages as against foreign wages.
1t will rejoice the heart of Jerry Simp-
son to see the increase of more than 100
per cent in the price of corn in twelve
months.
Corn 23.Sc per bushel in 1889; 50.6c.
per bushel 1890.
1t is evident that they are not burning
corn for fuel since the Mckinley bill
was passed.
The joke about the plumber would
hardly be appreciated in England. Av-
erage daily wages gas6tters, England,
S1.29; United States, $3.50.
Isn't it better to have our little joke
and feel that in this country the plumb
er is well paid, prosperous man, and
more important element as consumer
than he would be at English wages?
THE WORLD SHORT OF BEEF.
Pittsburgh Stocklhan
Not only in the United States are
meats of all kinds advancing in value,
but it is the case all over the world.
There has not been within the present
generation such prospect of beef
famine in all countries taken together
as there is at the present time. One
thing which is so favorably affecting the
outlook for our cattle export trade is
that other countries which have hereto
fore drawn on different sources of supply
are liable to be. compelled to come to US
for good beeves at reasonable cost. 1t
is now the case that in many countries
of Europe good beef is almost beyond
the reach of people of limited means.
Under the circumstances we do not see
how beef production can be anything
other than satisfactory industry for
number of years to come.

A LITTLE boy of Utica, New York,
one day recently played letter carrier,
and distributed through the neighbor
hood bundle of old love letters that his
mother had saved from her courtship
days.
THE medical profession disguises from
the public the fact of the prevalence OF
