THE POOR OF LONDON.

The picture which Mr.. Willard /. Lam
sing, in his letter to the NEWS, which
we printed yesterday, draws of the poor
of London, and the figures he gives of
their number are almost Incredible; or
would be were it not that British au-
thority of unquestioned competence can
be cited for every assertion made.
When London was smaller town
than now there were 100000 human
beings in the city partially dependent
upon charity. The problem of reducing
the mass of human misery was attacked
with British grit. and at present it is
calculated that there are ]. 1.3Ol. .S42 who
require assistance to live. OF these only
99,s30, practically a round hundred
thousand, are inmates of institutions.
The pauper population of Great Brit
ain as whole is one in every thirty five
Of the population. The pauper popula-
tion Of London alone is one of every
forty-two inhabitants. But while the
actual inmates of the institutions are
fewer in the metropolis than in other
parts of the kingdom, the number In
need of partial assistance is one in every
three. This is terrible showing.
The poverty of London cannot be
laid altogether at the door of unthrift,
for many of the poor wretches who half
starve there are able under more fortu-
nate conditions TO earn a decent living.
when sent to Canada or to the United
States. II is due directly to the indus
trial conditions prevailing in Great
Britain. Great changes have come
upon the united kingdom since foreign
nations built the tariff wall against her
goods; since Germany, France and
Belgium became not only self support
ing in manufactures, but formidable
competitors for Englands own markets;
since French and German lace makers
quit cutting each others throats; since
Canada and Australia adopted onr own
policy and sought independence Of
British mercantile control; and since
the United States, absorbing so rapid
ly the wealth and intelligence of the
older nations, wrested from Great Bri-
tain the primacy In iron manufacture, and
sold watches, agricultural implements
and the like in every British town. The
lace trade is depressed. The tin trade
is depressed. The cos !rade IL de-

tween these several factories has result
ed during the past year in two reduc-
tions. one Of 20 per cent and one OF 20
per cent in the wholesale prices OF
watches, or nearly twice the rate OF the
duty. There has been no corresponding
general reductions of operatives wages
in the mean time. but instead there has
been uniform upward tendency.
The free-trade writer would do well
to take up almost any other item OF the
tariff to illustrate their views rather
than watches, for the watch industry
employs a large number of people at
high rates of wages; the article pro-
duced is superior to anything in the
the world for the money; and the pub
lie is constantly receiving the benefit
of reductions in prices of the product.
By means of the tariff, and the i'm
provements in machinery which 1t has
been possible under its workings to pro-
duce, every workingman, and his wife
and children as well, is enabled to carry
an elegant aud close running timepiece.
The New York World, which is in
greater degree authorized to speak for
the Democratic party than the local
sheet, speaking of the watch business
says: Everyone knows that the Elgin
aud Waltham watches are tho best in
the world. What few know is that the
foreign watches sold here at equal or
less price are worthless movements, i'm
ported only t. sell to suckers" AS to
the respective merits Of the American
and Swiss watches, / will leave the mat
ter to these two worthy exponents Of
Democratic doctrine to discuss. That
retailers would prefer to sell a Swiss
watch, and especially of the finer
grades, than an American, is donbt-
less true. American watches have
positive price, and every well informed
man knows approximately the value of
watch OF a certain specified grade.
The Swiss watches have no price what
ever. They are worth as much or as
little as the dealer can obtain from his
customer. For that reason there may
be retailers who prefer to handle Swiss
watches, but the public demand an
American article, and there is no dealer
so blind to his own interests as to re-
fuse to carry them, and / will volun-
teer to say that there is no dealer in
PROVIDENCE or any other American
town who sells one-half as many Swiss
watches as he does of American made
time-keepers. WALTER b. FROST.

There comes time in every campaign
when political apathy becomes criminal
in the party whose members practice it..
While, however, the time is almost at
hand when inactivity might result in
eclipse of the present hopes Of the Re-
publican party in this State, it cannot
be said that the present apparent lack
Of interest in local politics has no foun-
dation. On the contrary, rather, it is
true that there has been so much reason
for present appearances, that the ap-
pearances are only the surface that the
careless observer has seen and the real
lilies have escaped the eyes of those who
talk apathy and mean what they say.
In other language, there is apathy
born Of confidence and apathy resulting
from Encouragement. The former is
superficial only, and is only indicative
Of the hard work which has already
been done and the conviction that there
are leaders in abundance who can and
will direct the party forces to certain
success. In this respect the Republican
party in this State is singularly well
prepared. All the candidates mentioned
IN either congressional district are well
squipped for the positions for which
they may be nominated. In the West
ern district the two men whose names
ars most prominently mentioned,
Warren O. Arnold and Adm b. Capron,
have the merits of unquestioned adher-
mce to the vital principals of their
party, keen judgment, an ardent love
and admiration for RHODE ISLAND, and
long experience in legislative work.
Mr.. Arnold was defrauded Of fair
ballot In 1890 when the Seventh Day
Baptists were disfranchised by the par
tisan Democratic Legislature which Sc
lected Saturday as day for the second
election. He very wisely with lrew from
the unequal contest. He knew that if
elected his majority must be small and
the Democratic Congress would unseat
him. His withdrawal made him
many friends and to-day South County
e almost to man solid for him. Many
Of the prominent Democrats would un-
doubtedly support him against their own
candidate. The record of Mr.. Capron is
equally honorable. His many friends
IA the northern part OF the state, in
Woonsocket and Burrillville, both
doubtful districts, have watched him
rise in harness" with great satisfac-
ton. His present position of prominence
has been won by his deserts and If the
party nominates him the Democracy
will find itself quite unable to find an
available man to oppose him.
And yet these are but two of the
msny candidates which the Republican
party has in its ranks, and it is this very
plethora Of excellence mentioned that
has caused the seeming quietness born
Of confidence.
Certain, however, as success might
seems under the candidacy Of such men.
no victory can be won entirely on un-
organized merit. Merit must still be
attended by her sister virtue-hard
work. And the hard work lies still
ahead OF MS. 1t is less than seven

STATE OF GEORGIA, DEPART
MENT OF AGRICULTURE.
General Remarks.

General Remarks.
Vile some features of the agricul
tural prospect as shown by the table
presented in this report are encouraging.
the condition of the cotton market and
the promise of small yield per acre of
this crop, has had a depressing and dis
heartening effect upon our farmers
COTTON.
The gathering of this crop has begun
in many parts of the state, and we desire
to again call the attention of the farmers
to the Importance of saving their crop in
as fine condition as possible. The ten
dency of the market seems to be to widen
the difference between the low and high
grades, and render it imperative that
care should be taken to gather and keep
the staple in as fine condition as posi-
Bile. Year before last large quantities
OF cotton We're left for months exposed
to the weather, and when thrown on the
market sold far below the price that
would have been obtained had it been
properly sheltered.
While all other crops have suffered
but little from weather conditions, the
continued rains have been very damag-
ing to cotton, especially in southwest
ern Georgia, where the crop shows fall
ing off of eight points, and the general
average is reduced in that section from
seventy-nine to seventy-one. A more
exhaustive review of the situation as to
this crop will be found in the monthly
talk of the commissioner.
CORN.
Notwithstanding the fact that on the
lowlands this crop has been injured by
the excessive rains, the general condition
throughout the state is fine, in some sec
t ons the crop showing one hundred In
deed, a fine yield of all food and stock
feed crops for the year may be consid-
cred assured.
HOGS.
The condition and number of stock
hogs in the state is hardly up to the
average, and cholera in many localities
is reported by correspondents.
TOBACCO.
In some of the tobacco growing coun-
ties and where experiments are being
conducted, damage was done by the
rains. However, correspondents report
that the yield will be large.
