A glance at the above table will
show an increase of 70 per cent. in
twelve months in the price of corn,
of 20 per cent. in the price of wheat,
of 81 per cent in the price Of oats, of
90 per cent. in the price of potatoes
and of 80 per cent. in the price OF
barley.
The Press does not claim that this
splendid advance in the prices of
farm products is entirely due to the
Mckinley bill and to the settled pol
icy of protection as indicated by the
Presidential campaign of 1888, but
it does claim that the fiscal policy
of the Republican party has had a
great deal to do with this steady
growth in the prices of farm pro-
ducts, and it honestly believes that a
fair and reasonable trial of the Nc
Kinley bill will result in immeasur-
able benefit not only to the millions
of wage earners who are engaged in
the manufacturing industries of the
country, but to the millions of far
mers who depend SO largely upon the
prices of their commodities for the
annual profits which comprise their
entire income. Not long ago we
pointed out the fact that the far
mers' profits are so small that a
slight reduction in prices is likely af-
ter paying living expenses for the
year to turn his surplus into a de-
felt. For this reason it is indeed
gratifying to find such a substantial
advance in the prices of farm com
modities.
OF course this advance will be dis
to free traders, because
their theory, as pointed out by Hon.
Grover Cleveland, is that cheapness
and prosperity go hand in hand;
that the cheap suit of clothes and
the cheap manufactured product are
the most desirable, and that the
question as to whether that cheap
ness means the degradation of hui
man labor is of secondary impor-
lance The above figures should ap-
peal to every intelligent farmer, for
they not only Indicate that times are
improving, but they clearly demon
strate that the theory of cheapness
is bad one, whether applied to the
products of the soil, or the factory
or the work shop. Cheap agricultur-
al products mean poverty and mis-
cry for the farmer; cheap manufac-
tured products mean the same thing
for the wage Garner. Those who fol
low this theory of cheapness have
not the welfare of the plain people or
the masses of the bread winners at
Y. Press.

COOKING LESSONS.

A lady lecturer on subjects that are sup
posed 10 have an especial interest for
women recently said that there was scarcely
a village in the lard where a competent
woman could not earn big wages in giving
cooking lessons. In one of her lectures this
lady said that there are at least 100, COO
bake-shops in this country carried on by
lnen, IN which the poorest kind of bread is
baked by men. She ventuled the opinion
that women should make all the pies and
cakes for our cities, towns and villages
II this lady lecturer had added that there is
scarcely village in the land in which a
good woman cook could not earn good
wages she would perhaps have set the
young feminine mind in the right direction
Lectures on cooking are useful, but with
out practice results are unsatisfactory.
Whether this particular lady lecturer can
cook as well as she can tell others how to
cook Is not OF much importance; but 1t is
exceedingly desirable that women should
take up an industry which holds out such
certain results. 1t will always be urged
against women's fitness for the work that

THE MASK OFF.

M. II. de Young is opposing the nomi-
nation of Shorb with what influence he
possesses. A short time ago he was de-
handing that the people should rally to the
support of Forsyth because Forsyth was
resident of California. If Forsyth was not
confirmed, he said, the office of chief of the
Horticultural Bureau would 60 to an East
ern man. 1t is well now to remind De
Young that De Barth Shorb is Californian.
There is no question about his citizenship
or about his capacity. The State Board of
Worlds Fair Commissioners have Endorsed
Mr.. Shorb unanimously and the public, so
far as response has been made, has ratified
their choice. If Mr.. Shorb is not nominated
and confirmed it will be because two MEM
beers of the National Commission for this
State oppose him. If De Young were not a
National Commissioner his opposition would
90 for nothing. But it is supposed that
something kindred 10 courtesy prevails in
Worlds Fair circles which will make the
opposition of one Commissioner reason
why a certain nomination should not be
considered. If De Young had the average
mans respect for public opinion he would
resign. The days OF his usefulness, il he
ever had any, are past The idea has gone
about that if De Young favors thing that
fact is a reason why it should be opposed.
The general belief is that there is job in
everything he attempts to do.

BETH ISRAEL.
Rev. DIR. Browne Delivers His
Initial Discourse.

A large audience greeted Rev. Edward B.
NJ. Browne, DID,, LID, last evening al
the Beth Israel Tabernacle, on Geary
street. it being the occasion of his initial
sermon in this city.
DR.. Browne spoke for an hour on the i'm
portance Of preserving intact the Jewish
faith, which has been handed down for SO
many generations. illustrating many of the
strong points in his discourse by allegories
apt and applicable by reason of their lucid
ity and force. While he especially charged
his hearers to preserve, protect and defend
the cherished traditions of the Mosaic creed
lie clearly proved his distaste for anything
like radicalism by expressing his views rs to
the efficacy and influence of other and
newer religions.
In concluding he said: "Be Jews. Don't
he ashamed OF your religion. People will
respect you for firm convictions. When the
President of the United States invited me
to dine with him and | was obliged 10 in
form him that l could not eat the food which
had been prepared he replied, i respect
you for your close adherence to a great
faith"
The congregation of Beth Israel will to-
morrow morning elect a pastor to succeed
Rev. DIR. Messing, who resigned last July
to accept call at Chicago. 1t is said that
the members are strongly in favor of recall
ing DR.. Messing, but it is not known posi-
lively whether he will accept or not. In the
event OF his refusal the place will either be
filled by Rabbi Levy of Oakland or Dr.
Browne. who, by the way, is net an appl-
cant. 1t is thought probable, however, by
prominent members of the congregation
that he will accept should the place be ten
dered him. Another candidate for this pO-
Sition is Rabbi Levy of Chicago.

SOMEWHAT IMPATIENT.

Democratic contemporary says that po-
litical tin-plate factories cut no figure in the
discussion As to the amount of tin plate that
will be imported the coming year. The
trainers of the tariff provided that unless
certain proportion of the home demand
should be supplied by home industries
within four years, the duties imposed should
be taken off. The object of the increase of
duties was to build up the industry in this
country; and it was agreed that il period
of experiment did not Indicate success.

before. they conclude that the experiment
will be failure. to give it a chance The
new duties have not yet been in operation
full month. Tin plate has already been put
on the market in commercial quantities, but
not, of course, in quantities approaching
the home demand. Free-traders will re-
member that some years elapsed before the
duties on steel rails transferred that in
dustry from Europe to the United States. A
party organ has an unpleasant task to per-
form when allegiance requires it to depre-
cate the growth of industries in its own
country. People can understand why an
English journal should belittle American
efforts to establish the iin-plate industry in
this country, but not why American Jour
mails should aid in the work. 1t NAV be
answered, however, thot free-trade journals
published in this country are American

CAMPBELL EXPLAINS.

Governor Campbell of Ohio tells an inte-
viewer that the free silver coinage plank in
the Ohio State platform was opposed by
about one-fourth of the delegates. The en-
tire party. he says, favors bimetallism and
liberal coinage of silver, but portion do not
like the idea of approaching bimetallism by
dropping to the silver standard. The Gov
ernor touches the silver question cautiously.
Silver legislation he declares to be expert
mental. No one can tell how a measure will
work until il has been tried. He himself is
willing to chance free coinage, but evidently
is not anxious to. HerealiZes without doubt
that the first effect of free coinage would be
the single silver standard, with gold at a
premium. He must know also that large
portion of the mortgages against Ohio farms
are, by terms OF the contract, payable in
gold. Probably in the course of the cam
paign an effort will be made to fluid out what
proportion of the mortgages are payable in
gold. The Supreme Court decisions bearing
upon this kind eff specific contract will be
examined. Ii free silver coinage should be
ordered while silver bullion is at discount
OF 20 per cent gold would rise to premium
OF 20 per cent unless the market valne of
silver bullion should be increased by the
free silver act Under these conditions
farmers would have to take silver for their
products and buy gold at whatever the dis
count might be to pay contract debts with.
