the certain price ar the end of the season.
Such an accounting would not only show
what crops were made at loss and what
at a profit, but would show the relative
prof. from each, and SO indicate in what
directions we might best extend our work.
1t would lead to more careful methods and
better cultivation in the effort to turn los
Ing crops into paying ones, and would
lead generally to more business-llke con-

more willing to sell our goods without
knowing what they cost to produce than
the merchant is, yet we know that mer-
chant who pursued that policy would be
on the speedy road to bankruptcy. 1t is a
pretty good indication of the stability and

farming rests, in the fact that so few

Able Rulers.

Able Rulers.
Siaro has been, until lately. a terra in
cognita, a country whose only product so
far as was known to Americans and
Englishmen, was the famous Siamese
twins. The first treaty of commerce was
made by the Siamese government with
England in 1857, since which little has
Teen added to our knowledge of the
country and its people, The area Of Siam
is twice that of Great Britain and Ire
land. The population is said to be about
six million.
The S1amese sovereigns have usually
been Of considerable ability and in energy
and enlightenment are superior to most
Asiatic potentates. The late King Of
Siam and his successor have done what
they could to introduce the forms Of
western civilization. Bangkok, the cap
ital, has the electric light, tram cars, and
government Office of European architec-
ture, and the present king has also shown
himself reformer Of abuses, especially
Of the worst Of Slamese social evils. the
universally Of serfdom and the prevalence
of slavery.
Further and much-needed reforms are
expected from him, but even were the DO
hticai and fiscal administration of the
kingdom very much better than it is, the
Siamese, light hearted nation of Budd-
hists, fond of amusement and accustomed
to frequent holidays, are little fitted to
develop the great resources of their coun-
try. It's internal trade is chiefly in the
hands of Chinese, who, with the Malays,
add some millions more to the estimated
population already stated. Railways are
being constructed, and Europeans have
been encouraged by the policy of Siamese
royalty to settle at Bangkok, and to
develop the external trade of Siam.-St.

WORDSWORTH

"She was phantom of delight
When first she leaned upon my sight;
lovely apparition, sent
To be moments ornament;
Her ewes as stars of twilight fair,
Like twilight, too, her dusky hair;
But all things else about her drawn;
From May-time and the cheerful dawn;
A dancing shape, an image gay,
To haunt, to startle and wayiay.
"And now | see with eye serene
The very pulse of the machine;
A being breathing thoughtful breath,
A traveller betwixt life and death:
The reason firm, the temperate will,
Endurance, foresight, strength and skill !;
A perfect woman, nobly planned
To warn, to comfort and command;
And yet spirit still, anu bright
With something of an angel light

LEWIS NOT GUILTY.
A Verdict Rendered by Jury of Twelve
Good Men and True

The trial of the case of the United
States against W. L. Lewis, ex- postmaster
Of Lewiston, Columbia county, charged
with robbipg tie mails, occupied the at
tention of the United States court three
days. The arguments were closed Mon
day afternoon, Hon. Ogden H. Fethers, Of
GAINESVILLE, making strong plea in the
defendants behalf. So pathetic was the
gentleman at times that the heart Of al
most everyone in the court room was
moved
The case went to the jury at about 4
o'clock, and that body returned to court
just before o'clock in the evening There
were many anxious people in waiting, be-
side the defendant, his aged mother and
brothers. There was breathIess silence
WREN Judge Bum asked: Gentlemen.
have you found a verdict?"
The foreman replied that they had
found a verdict of not guilty.
The poor mothers heart beat free once
more when she grasped her innocent son.
There was happy union of mother and
three sons, and all tie people, save the
witnesses for the government, said amen
to the verdict.
Nearly everybody rallied around the
Hon. Ogden H. Fethers and bestowed i
upon him much praise for the victory he
had achieved.

A YEARS TRADE.
usgestiye Figures OF the Business
1891

The more closely the trade statistics of
Dece mber, 1891, are compared with those
of 1890, and those Of the year ending Dee
81, 1891, VITA Che preceding twelve
months, the mora thoroughly is the wisdom
Ct the new tariff law indicated
When the great increase of American
exports during the past year is mentioned
the free trader generally replies, ''Oh, of
course, but the increase is in breadstuffs,
and the United States harvests have been
unusually large, while those of Europe
have BEEN unusually scanty. Bnt this has
nothing to do with tie tariff, you know"
This is avoiding the question. The fact is
that all exports, or nearly all, from the
United States have increased, and not
those Of agricultural products alone. For
example, the value of American manufac-
tuYers exported was Of greater value, in
round numbers, by 81, $50, 600 during the
frat eleven months of the operation of the
Mckinley bill that in the corresponding
eleven months of the previous year. Min
ing, fishery and 'miscellaneous" ex-
ports each show an increase.
But looking at the months of December
alore, we find our exports 70 stand thus:
Domestic merchandise ss79si ,eo7 s118 $50
fOItl2l ulcICAauulse-' IiO%J,ooo 1901, 500
For ali this we have received, or are to
receive, pay, and in this there is an in
crease. But of exports that we make in
payment of imports for which our farm or
products will not De accepted there has
been decrease, as this table shows:
Dec 1890 Dec 1891
Gold bullion and coin ....... 500 1854 $3.50 232
Silver bars and coIn......... ,S35, 269 22S9 US3
Thus we have kept more OF our home
made money and money making metals
at home, and have sent abroad more pro-
duce, for which foreign made money and
money making metals will have to be sent
to u.s.
As for tie single months of December so
it is for the twelve months terminated by
them, Our exports stood thus:
Year 1890. Year 1891.
Exports domestic mer-
chandise SS45, S99 603 1857 337, 991
Exports foreign mer-
chandise.. I,572945 1S1O8, 291
Total. ............. 1851. 5O2, 54s s9p, 50s, 2ss
Our imports have increased during the
last year. bnt they have been largely of
things that We do MT make OF grow on
our ewn soil The net result is an excess
of the value of our exports over our i'm
ports 10 the extent Of, S185 3I6,t25 In 1891,
against Si2,051. 416 In 1890. Seldom, is

The Practical Effect of the Tariff Law.

It is reported on good authority that
Milwaukee is to have a tinplate factory,
which will occupy ten acres of land and
employ 60 bands at the start. A site has
been selected in the surourbs of the
city, at point convenient to all the city s
railroad lines. The promoters are Mil
waukee men and the preliminary argu-
ments are said to have been completed.

it is often considered fit only for a sauce

The ex-queen Of Naples, who has suf-
fered all the pangs of genteel poverty
during the past twenty years or more.
has now been placed in "a comparatively
~affiuent position. Her mother, the late
Duchess of Ludovica, Of Bavaria, who
died some weeks ago, left a fortune
yielding an ipcome of about 800, 900 a
year. According to the will of the
duchess the property was to be shared
equally between three of the daughters
of the duchess, namely. the empress of
Austria, the ex-queen Of Naples and the
Duchess of Alencon.
The empress, however, is SO wealthy
in her own r~ight--she has an income of
$500, 900 Il year of her own, besides the
right of drawing upon her husbands
practically inexhaustible ~purse-that she
has abandoned her share of the bequest
to the ex-queen of Naples, who will
therefore now come in for about $50, 900
to $4,000 Il year. The ex-queen figures
as the heroine in Daudet's Kings in
Exile."-San Francisco Argonaut.
