FARM OR SHOP?

The basis of industry in the United
States is known to be agriculture. Apou,
one-half of the adult male population OF
workers is found IN that branch of indus
try.
The broad and fertile acres of this grea,
country, stretching from ocean to ocean
and including the whole of the temperate
region from north to south. offer such great
rewards to human labor that this is by far
the leading occupation. From the rewards
OF labor in agriculture as a basis. the wages
OF labor IN most other industries are fixed
The great profit of farming makes if
naturally the first industry pursued in any
new country. 1t furnishes the first condi
ton OF human living-a supply of food.
The food supply yielded by farms in this
country is a very generous one. What
farm people and others have to eat in this
country would astonish the agriculturists
of the old world.
From out Of his abundance the farmer
must pay the blacksmith the carpenter.

those whose work must be done op.the spot.

consent to receive smaller reward than
they could earn on farms OF their own: for
IN that case they would be likely to 90 at
farming for themselves. 1t is the simple
necessity of the case that causes the farm
ers to hire these men to work for them.

more than we have enumerated. and all
those who render professional or personal
service for the farmers must be paid ont of
the products Of the farms, and their occu-

the tariff for their occupation, since the
services they render must be performed nm
the spot.
But the farmers and the others REQUIRE
yet other things, such as cloth. iewelrv

send abroad grain, fruit, beef, ETC.. that
they cannot consume, and get the other ar

GHere the government interferes and
says that articles must not be imported
that this importation OF foreign goods de-
prlyes Americans of work, and that these
goods must be made on this side of the
Atlantic. This really means that the
farmers and mechanics who now exchange
their surplus for these imports must omit
producing that surplus, in order to make
the articles directly.
Tea can be grown in this country but
farmers in the south prefer to raise cotton

1t didn't require much of an effort on the
part of the officials to do this thing. They
had merely to inform the rum-sellers that
they must obey the law or suffer prosecu-

this is a feature of the business to be dis

That our native Americans are more guilty

aside from immigration and births of children
OF foreign parentage, the population of Massa-

with personal investigation and facts accumu-

Among married persons so extensive has this
practice become, that people of high repute not
only commit this crime, but do not shun to
speak boastingly among their intimates of the
oeed and means of accomplishing it.
| AT these bold declarations a wave of in
dlgnation swept over the country, and even
those who could not shut their eyes to the
horrible facts which they exposed so glar-
lngiy, charged those assailants with over
estimating the extent of the disgustingly
wicked practices. But what can such OBJ
lectors say in the face of the horrible tale
told by the figures of our last census, which
show how the percentage of our naturnal
increase in population in the last decade
has fallen below what it was in that

There has been no famine during the last
ten years In the United States; no destruc-
tive plague, no pestience. 1t has been a
period OF almost unprecedented prosperity
ana material progress. There is no calamity
to which this falling off can be charged, only
the worst of all calamities, the increase of
wlckedness among the people, wickedness,
TOO, OF the worst form-that wickedness
which hampers with the very well-springs
OF life. With horror we shrink from the
pagan mother who plucks her breast from
the smiling babe and filings the child into
the yellow waters of the Ganges; how
much more lovely is the Christian mother
who consents to have her unborn offspring
murdered before it sees the light of dayg

WHERE THE MONEY GOES.

If the good people of Salt Lake city
should wonder where the s272, 267O7 ''dis-
bursements during the last quarter'' went
went TO, perhaps this little item will afford
them some light:
Watermaster, controlling irrigating water,
Sc, 963 Ga
supplies 2977 AZ
AoIdl ~, $40. "a
This item of say $4,000, was paid for
controlling irrigating water'' in this city
alone during the last quarter of the year,
when there is no irrigating to be done.
We areinformed that the total irrigation
water tax of previous years did not amount
TO SO much as it now costs to control the
water in our sidewalk bitches for three
months only.
The citizens will now understand who
pays the wages of the gangs of men that
pick the pebbles and old shoes out of the
sidewalk bitches, and otherwise amuse
themselves about our streets. The council
furnishes these men with employment, and
all the taxpayers have to furnish is merely
the wages
For the other items which go to make up
the remainder of the last quarters expend-
lture, which is nearly three times greater
than the total tax of any previous year,
the people will find the expenditure in ev-
cry case, the chief Liberal organ tells us
''on the books.''
There is satisfaction in knowing where
you can find your money-on the books, in
the bills-even if Won CON find M +rooo Of -
elsewhere, as in the instance cited
Taxpayers hereafter must be satisfied to
ind their money-"on the books"

OAKLAND, Oct. 22.-Judge Ellsworth
to-day granted q divorce to Mrs. George
=. Pratt, on the grounds of cruelty. This
is the case in which Pratt charged his wife
with adultery, naming j.. l.. BromwelI,
President of the California Insurance
Company, and one of Oallland's most
prominent citizens, as correspondent.
Nearly two years ago Pratt, who was in
-3romwel's employ, shot and severely
wounded Bromwell for alleged adultery
with Mrs. Pratt. Pratt was acquitted on
the charge of the shooting, and some
time after commenced suit against his
wife for divorce. Mrs. Pratt instituted a
counter suit, charging cruelty. The case
has been on trial for several weeks. and
attracted wide attention on the Pacific
Coast, on account of the prominence of
the people implicated. Judge Ellsworth,
IN big decision, says that he thinks Mrs.
Dratt guilty OF adultery as charged by
her husband, but that as he condOned the
ohense and lived with her again, he
could not grant divorce on that ground.
The Judge also found that Pratt had
treated his wife cruelty, and on that
ground granted her divorce.

VIRGINIA (Nev.), Oct. 22-On the 10Th
Of August, 1891, NJ. w. Fox, President of
the West Consolidated California and
Virginia Gold and Silver Mill and Min
ing Company, on behalf of that COM
Dany applied to the District Court of the
State of Nevada for the County of Storey,
Richard Rising presiding Judge, for an
order of survey Of the Consolidated Cali
-Ornia and Virginia mine on the Com
stock. An order to show cause was made
against the Consolidated California and
Virginia Mining Company to show why
The order OF survey should not be granted.
On the Sd of September w. L. F. Deal,
attorney for the Consolidated California
and Virginia Mining Company, made
and served a notice of motion to dismiss
the application on the ground that the
court had no jurisdiction to make the or
der, or any order of survey in the case
unless an action had been first COM
,nenced against the company.
The motion was submitted to Judge
Rising on briefs, and this morning he
.sTarted the motion, deciding in sub
stance that there was no foundation what
ever for an order of survey where the
court has 10 jurisdiction over the par
lies and subject matter by the commence
.Eent OF an action. In this proceeding
no suit was commenced, and hence the
court had no jurisdiction to make such
an order" The court dismissed Mr.

ST.. PETERSBURG, Oct. 22.-The famine
is far extended in Siberia. The Governor
has compiled report showing that in the
districts Of Kokthchetowsh and Petra
paulovsk what food supplies the inhabi-
tants possessed have been entirely ex-
hausted and an appeal made to public
charity. Owing to the difficulty of trans
portation in winter the efforts at relief
seem almost hopeless. Supplies from
Caucasia are improving in quantity, and
it is hoped they will avail to stave off the
worst effects of the famine. Advices from
the interior Of the empire are continually
of the worst import. People are COM
mencing to riot in Samara, Saratoff and
VeronetZ.
Reports from the provinces of Sun
brisk and Samara show that the local
government was unable to cope with the
prevailing distress. The authorities have
forbidden the local press to record the
state of affairs. The Provincial Assem-
blies are panic-stricken, and utterly un-
able to remedy the disorder. The mill
tary granaries have been depleted. The
funds for the relief of the starving people
have also been deplorably mismanaged.
In some districts, under powerful patron
age, there is more than an abundance of
relief, while in other districts no heed is
paid to the starving peasants.

BUENos AYREs, Oct. 22.-Advices re-
ceived here from Asuncion, capital of the
Republic of Paraguay, bring news of an
attempt there to overthrow President
Gonzales. The attempted revolution,
however, was promptly suppressed by
troops loyal TO the Government. Full
details are not yet procurable, but it is
known that there has been an uneasy
feeling in Paraguay, and spirit of hos
tlllty to the Government there for some
time past. The trouble originated in PC
litical riyalries and disappointed ambi-
! tions, the "outs" Scheming against the
''ins," and the latter leaving no stone un-
turned to crush their opponents politi-
cally and otherwise. This jealous rivalry
continued to grow in strength until the
Governments opponents, some days ago,
boldly threw off the mask and, collecting
the most desperate of their adherents.
made an appeal to the people, armed
themselves and sought to wrest the reins
OF power from the properly constituted
authorities, claiming the latter had in
many ways abused the trust vested in
them.
The Government Immediately sent a
force OF troops to put down the insurrec-
tlon, and an engagement took place be-
| tween the Government troops and the
Reyolutionists, which resulted in the de-
feat and flight of the latter. The insur-
gents in the main were so badly routed
that they were compelled to fly from the
! territory of Paraguay and seek refuge
within the borders of the Argentine Re
public, which Government was notified
of this fact, and sent instructions to the
frontier authorities ordering that all
Paraguayans found with arms IN their
possession on this side of the frontier
should be disarmed. This was done
without any difficulty, the defeated
Revolutionists readily surrendering their
weapons when requested to do SO by
Argentine officials.
