under which manufacturers and opera
uvcs will be exposed To destructive
competition of the cheap labor of En-
gland. France and Germany.
Wages in the cotton mills have not
been reduced, but substantially have
been increased. The mill owners dur
ing the past fortnight have cut down
the hours of labor Of the hands from
sixty to iifty-eight hours a week, and
in order that there might be no de-
crease of earnings from this rearrangc-
lncnt of the working hours they have
advanced their wages 3E per cent. The
hands who were paid by the day have
had their wages advanced 81 per cent
per hour, while the job hand gets
81 per cent advance on piece work.
The operatives get the benefit of two
hours week without having to pay
for it. On the other hand, the manu-
facturers lose two hours work from
each hand and have to pay for it in
reduction of weekly product of each
mill One mill-owner has estimated
here to-day that this increase OF the
wages of the men and women, and the

ARID REGIONS OF THE IVES t.

Much Money Valnly Spent In Look
ing for Water--Some Erroneous
Beliefs.
Underground water is too abundant
In the east to attract much attention,
but in the arid regions of the western
states and Mexico it becomes a mat
ter Of the utmost Importance. Areas
exist there as large as New England
for example, the Llano Estacado-
without stream or permanent pond
upon their surface, while other areas,
aggregating one tenth OF this whole
country, have not a stream with the
volume OF the Connecticut and are
entirely lacking in laterals and springs.
Great railway lines, including the
Southern Pacific, haul water hundreds
OF miles for their engines and have
spent millions in the search for under
ground water, and the government
has spent large sums in similar ex-
periments. Most of these efforts have
been the result OF exaggerated expec-
tations whose nonfulfilment have re-
suited in the apathy OF the people. 1t
was soon learned, according to the
Engineering Magazine, that the great
est possible use of surface water, aid
ed by the best systems OF storage,
could not water hundreth part Of
the western area, and popular atten.
ton turned to the underground sup
ply. Investigation next showed that
artesian floods could not be obtained
everywhere.
The laws of distribution and utili
cation OF underground waters are as
simple as those controlling surface
distribution, but the popular fallacies
concerning them are appalling-fo
instance, the erroneous idea that all
underground waters flow in streams
tlike the circulatory system OF the
human body" supplying every well
and spring. 1t is curious thing to see
the "waterwitch" plod over a farm
with HE forked stick trying to locate
"the current" In the vast area be-
tween the Rocky mountains and the
Mississippi the belief prevails that all
the wells are supplied by the water
precipitated upon the mountains
which disappears beneath the surface
to rise again a thousand miles away
along the coastal plain, while beneath
the vast intervening region is an mex
haustible store of water waiting for
mans invention to bring it to the
surface.

Comparison of Additions Made to 1T
by the Two Administrations.
On July !, 1889, the beginning of
the first fiscal year of Harrison's adj
ministration, the public debt bearing
, interest was $3.50, $50, 900, and the an
nual interest was S33, 1852, 354.60.
Three years afterward, on July 1,
| 1891, the interest bearing debt was
| SGl0, 500, 800, and the annual interest
( s23, 6l5, 735. S0-a reduction of g. 10. 224,-
$40 in the principal and of SO, 1885,
6l6.s0 on interest.
On July l, 1889, the non-interest-
bearing debt-that is, legal-tender
notes, gold, silver and currency certifi-
cates-was $751;, 2S7, 1861 On the LIST
of July, 1891, the MISUNDERSTANDING
| debt was 1898, S52, 100. 35-an increase
of STAG, 500, 3l9.3S. In other words,
there was an increase of currency in
those three years of a Republican adj
ministration of Sli6, sos, 3l9.3s, and a
! decrease of the bonded debt of S2lO,-
| pa, $40
Compare this with the first three
years of Clcveland's administration.
| The bonded debt July /, 1885, was
81, 1876, $780, $50 and on July /, 1855, three
! years later, was $3.50, 522, JO0-a dc :
crease of S245, 52S, $50. But the currency,
or non-interest bearing debt, in 1855
was 1868. 7l2 ,027. sS-an increase of
only $40, l27. 4G1.4i, and this increase
