Farm Life in the GOOD Old Times

Under the heading Our Farmer Faith

at is sometimes well to look back
over the road, take bearings, and meas
ure progress. When we find farmers and
laborers politically in arms against al
legged oppression and hard times, we nat
urally turn to view the conditions of the
good old times when everybody was
prosperous and contented.
The farmer of the day makes two spec
ial complaints High prices for what he
buys, and low prices for what lie sells.
How was it with our farmer fathers?
Take the staple dry goods article, calico
In 1890 it cost So cents yard; in 1890,
20 cents; i'll 1860, II cents; i'll 1891, 5
cents.
Take the staple grocery article, sugar.
In 1890 it cost 1917 cents for cheap, brown
grades in 1890 IS cents; in 1860 10
cents; in 1891, 81 cents for graduated.
For what the former sells, take the sta
pie dairy product, butter. The prices in
Massachusetts are as follows In 1890,
II cents; in 1880, Is cents; IL 1860, 20
cents; in 1891, 50 to IS cents.
The staple meat product, dressed beef,
i'll Massachusetts sold IN 1890 at only 81
cents; in 1890, N cents; in 1860, p
cents; i'll 1891, II to IS.
Our farmer fathers of revolutionary
days whistled among the stones and
pumpkin vines of sterile New England,
attired in cotton jeans and shirtings that
cost so cents yard, slept on ticking at 90
ceuts, and if rich enough, wiped the per
SEPARATION from their brows with handker-
chiefs that cost 70 cents. Their wives, if
stylish, paraded in muslin at IS
cents, ginghans at SIS and cambria at 81.
Pins were IS cents a paper for matches,
everybody borrowed fire; and for farm
and machinery, the hoe and
scythe were as all important as to-day's |
sulky pillow and selfbinder.
Those were the good old days when

What the farmer sold brought not much |
more than one-half what it brings to-day, |
and what the farmer bought cost more |

$1,000 Reward.

Our American chemists are renowned, mol
only for their enterprise, but for their vigil
lance. They are prompt to expose frauds
wherever they fnd them. Thus far, how
ever, they have not earned the reward Of
one thousand Isl ,ooo) dollars offered by the
proprietors of Swift's Specific IS. s. 81 for
the discovery, by analysis, of particle OF
mercury, iodide ofpotash, or any poisonous
substance, in their famous medicine. The
reason the reward has not been picked up
is becacse there are no mineral or poisonous
substances in Swift's Specific Is. S. s. It
is a vegetable compound, which has been
before the public for half century, and its
history is marked by a wonderful series of
successes.

WASHINGTON LETTER.


WASHINGTON, August 5, 1891.
Secretary Foster will this week 90 to Ohio
! for a short vacation if nothing unexpected
turns up to keep him here. Notwithstand-
ing his announced determination at the
time he entered the cabinet not to follow
the example of his illustrious predecessor
and work himself to death, the work and
responsibility Of being at the head of our
financial system is gradually wearing the
flesh from his refund figure The fact Of
the matter is that as at present constituted
there is too much work connected with the
Treasury department for any one man to
attempt 70 direct unless he has a coustitu-
ton that can stand about twenty hours work
a day; there are several important bureaus
such as the Revenue Marine Light Houses,
Life Saving internal Revenue, and Engrav-
ing and Printing now under that department
that the Secretary of the Treasury should be
relieved of in order that he might devote
his entire attention to strictly financial mat
tiers. There is no sense in killing more good
men before making the change, and there
is little doubt that overworS in that office
killed secretaries Folger Manning and Win
dom within the last ten years.
The rumor iend has evidently had resig-
nations on the brain for the last three or four
DAYS and among those that he has caused
to resign may be mentioned Secretary No
Bile, Attorney General Miller, Postmaster
Wanamaker, Treasurer Nebeker, Assistant
Secretary Of the Treasury Nettleton and
Commissioner Of pension Raum. Not one
Of these gentlemen has resigned OF has the
least intention Of resigning so far as those
who are in positions to know have any in
formation; but the rumors 60 on just the
same. Il is safe to refuse to believe that any
official intends resigning until it IS officially
stated, or is given out by the official himself
or some one with authority to speak for him.

This shows plainly that something

the part of the railroad people in Fourth

far more to their interests to encourage
such industries, and make material in

Railroads are a necessity to the pros
perity of the country, and we should be
willing to encourage them: but their I'M

we have to improve the mouth of our

distrust and doubt. A man who has for

The Inventor OF the Panorama.

The panorama was invented by q
Scotchman named Robert Barker. who
obtained license in London in 1857
and erected a rotunda on Leicester
square. He was associated with Robert
Fulton, the practical inventor of the
steamboat, who introduced panoramas
into Paris in 1896, but resigned in favor
Of Thayer, perhaps in order to give his
attention to the application of steam to
boats Thayer raised rotunda on the
Boulevard Montmartre, whence comes
the name of the Passage des Panoramas-
Bonaparte caused plans to be drawn up
for eight panoramas in which his con-
quests were to be shown to the Paris
ians, whom he always tried to impress
with the magnitude of his achievements
in order to keep them faithful to his
star. But these projects were never
realized. Barker was imprisoned for
debt at Edin burgh in a cell with one
opening only-in one corner of the roof
of the dungeon. It was so dark that
he could not see to read, but he found
that by placing the paper near the mar
row shaft of light that fell through the
hole in the ceiling the letters Of the
writing became surprisingly distinct
This set him thinking, and after he was
released he began experiments on pic

Growing Demand for Half Cents.

The half cent has become necessity
in American trade. says the Age of
Steel, and the American News-dealers'
Association will petition Congress to
establish half-cent coinage. On one
cent papers the dealers profit is only
half a cent; and in many instances the
half cent is lost because there is no coin
of this value. An appreciable loss
arises from this source in the course of
a year. 1t is a favorite way in marking
retail goods of all kinds to rate them in
such a way that the half cent comes in,
and in every case goes to the dealer.
This odd cent in large establishment
certainly amounts to several dollars
daily, which the buyers lose and the
seller gains, for want of the half-cens
coin The infinitesimal divisions of in
dustry and retail supplied long ago
made these small coins necessity in
Europe. A centime is fifth of cent
Switzerland has a centime piece, Bel
gium a two centime piece, Germany has
the pfennig, equal to one-fourth of a
cent
