EXTRACT from a letter to the Boston
Journal: I notice that the democratic
platform says we are taxed to nearly the
verge of starvation, or to that effect. Let
us see about it. I have a store book,
loaned'me by a fellow workman, for the
year 1872, before the demonstration of
silver" Taking prices as in that book
and comparing with prices to-day, also
taking the mans daily pay for each year,
l find the following result as to the pur-
chasing power of the same mans wages:
His days work would purchase of flour,
in 1872, one-quarter of a barrel; 1892,
one-half of a barrel; salt pork, in 1872,
II pounds; 1892, "a pounds; sugar, in
1872, % pounds; in 1892, IS pounds; lard,
in 1872, 20 pounds; 1892, 81 pounds;
cheese, in 1872, II pounds; 1892, %
pounds; beans, in 1872, % quarts; 1892,
81 quarts; print, in 1872, 20 yards; 1892,
As yards; cotton cloth, in 1872, "a yards;
1892, IS yards; coal, IN 1872, one-ffth of
a ton; 1892, one-half of a ton. I might
extend this list to cover every article of
food and clothing if I had the time.
These figures may be verified by any man
at any store that has been doing bust
ness twenty-five years. A "good demo-
crat," seeing my last article in the Jour.
nal, came to me last Saturday to con-
vince me of my error. "Why," said he,
II bought coal in ~ for SIS a ton, and
now I have to pay Sc to ST." every we'll,
sir. What did you get in 1882" "One
dollar and seventy-five cents a day."
"What pay do you get now?" "Three
dollars a day." "Then, sir, according to
your own figures, you worked three days
for a ton of coal in 81, and only worked
two days for a ton Of coal in ~. And
yet you are voting to restore the tariff for
revenue only that was in force in 81. Do
you really think the ~workingmen are
better off to work three days for a given
article than they are to work two days
for the same article?"

HE millers of the state have organized
a powerful association, with $1,OOO,OOO
capital. The association comprises nearly
all the mills of the state and will be known
as the North Dakota Millers' association.
VIM. G. Leistekow of Grafton, has been
elected president of the association, and
j. M. Turner of Mandan, vice president
and general manager, at a salary of
$4,000 a year. The headquarters of the
association will probably be at Fargo,
although Grand Forks is Offering extra.
ordinary inducements to obtain it. It is
believed that this organization, the
strongest in the northwest, will result in
great good to the state and create a home
market, and better price to the farmer
for wheat. The demand abroad for
North Dakota -four ie i~ncreas-
ing to such a great extent that
the mills of the state cannot meet it. It
is said that last year thousands of sacks
with North Dakota brand we're filed by
Minneapolis mills, and sold in the
European market on the North Dakota
trademark at Is to so cents advance
over Pillsbury's best. The design of the
new association is to keep the grade of
North Dakota -four up to it's present
high standard. To do this the output
must be greater 30 that the imposition
OF last season on foreign trade will not
be repeated. 1t is probable that at least
a dozen more large mills will be built at
once at different points in the state, and
it is not unlikely that the new mills in
Duluth will join in the combine and
manufacture -four out of genuine North
Dakota No. l hard wheat only.

Every one agreed that the forthcoming
meeting promised to be the best on record,
and Vice-PTesdent Williams prophesied
that even this would doubtless be consid-
cred kind of backwoOds meeting in the
future compared with the success they in
tended to make, not only OF the association
but Of all its future gatherings.
After luncheon general tour Of inspec-
ton was made around the new stands and
then around to the stables.
Nearly 800 Of the pick of the thorough
bred racers OF the State were on the spot
yesterday, and some extremely exciting
fail, from the beginning to the end of the
racing.
The stalls, both old and new. are nearly
all bespOkeD, and there were numerous ar
rivals yesterday. All the borsemen are high
in their praises Of their new accommoda-
tons Most of the horses arc in tiptop con-
dltion and II the handicapped can carry out

be the most open ever seen In this city.

jockeys, there are many new arrivals on the
scene from the East, and many eager eyes
were centeTed on the various groups Of
neatly sttired knights of the pigskln as they
sat and chatted on the clubhouse yerabda.
1n retaining the services Of Judge Wood
ruff and Starter Ferguson the directors of
the association have made a wise move.
Nothing now really remains but to hope for
fine weather. If the elements prove to be
satisfactory, then the success OF the fall
meeting is ''un fat accompli"

DIBBLE's SCRAP BASKET.
Thousands of People Take a Goo
Square Look at 1t.

Thousands of People Take Good,
Square Look at 1t.
Thousands of people paused in front OF
THE CALL business Office on Market street
yesterday to look at Dibble's scrap basket
which was on exhibition there.
1t was an object-lessou which the average
voter took to heart, and that innocent-lo0k-
Ing basket, as it leaned against the plate
glass window, told tale which volumes
could not express.
1t was the mute witness to one of the
most sensational political scandals ever
sprung in the State of California.
The basket is the original one, and was
obtained from gentleman who secured it
from the State Library at The time the
green-back wrappers were found in it.
Nothing on Market street yesterday a.
tracted SO much notice, and at times the
crowd about the window was so great that
the police were compelled to make them
move ON. Even women and children stopped
to look at the basket aud make their COM
ments.
A majority of those who saw the basket
seemed pleased. and their delight seemed
to grow chiefly out OF the fact that the
whole thing WAS a deadly blow at the man
who two yeas ago managed Mike de Dung S
fight for the Senate.
In the meantime the basket seems to have
no particular interest in its own fame. but
1t will remain in sight for the beneht OF
those who care to see 1t.

THAT LITTLE SIDE ROOM.

Its exterior is not inviting, and though
the brass work inside is polished brightly
and the bottles and glasses behind the bar
are kept scrupulously clean, there is some
thing about the place that smacks Of the
GROCERY.
1t is the den at 16 Third street that is now
under consideration.
That is the place where Republican"
politics are manufactured to order. small
political jobs concocted, and places at the
City Hall sold to the highest bidder
No; the places are not put up at auction
exactly, but if you and your friends are
constant patrons of the Grand Central
Winerooms," wear white shirt, and spend
lots of money therein, you stand pretty

Then who are these tough-lOOking fellows

outward appearances the "Winer0oms" 0c-

peaTances are deceptive, as you viii soon
see.
The main saloon entrance sits back and
under the second floor about six feet, so as
to leave little porch or yestibule entrance.
This is on a level with the sidewalk and
paved with red, white, blue and black tile.
Now that thing is swept twice day and
scrubbed every morning, yet II has dismal,
gloomy appearance and is anything but in

The entire lower front, except this thing
and the glass in the windows, Is painted
white, but IL Is dirty white, or rather not
white at ALL only sufficiently like IL to let
you know that it is intended TO be white.
The only sign on the building that tells
YOU a saloon is located there consists OF
those golden script letters on a black

The dresses of the ladies showed out to
the best advantage amid the setting of the
