Workers for mere wages or salaries
of one and another class. form the
bulk of the consumers Of farm sur
plus and upon whom the farmer must
mainly rely for a market for what
ever he has to sell; and upon whom
he must also rely, primarily, for what
he has to buy as well as t~ransporta-
tion in the processes Of exchange.
But workers for wages and for salar-
les would be impossible without
employing capital; therefore the
farmers interests demand that cap
ital receive such profits on the labor
it employs in Industrial and CONNER
cial enterprises as viii insure its con-
tinuance in tie business. On the
other hand the interests of the far
mer demand thar workers for wages
or salaries shall receive such rate of
wages as will enable them to buy
farm products up to the limit of
rational consumption or use. Prob
ablya majority Of farmers do not
sufficiently realize the powerful influ-
ence the wage scale may exert upon
the market for farm surplus. An
idea prevails to a greater OrlesS extent
that people must eat to live, and
therefore the rate of wages received
by them is of no great consequence to
the food producers. The truth is
that the difference between the
amount of food necessary to sustain
existence and that required 20 sup
port comfortable, vigorous, healthful
life, may be one-half or more. The
following comparisons strongly illus
trate this fact. The table shows the
average amount of food annually con-
sumed per inhabitant. Potatoes are
estimated as grain sG the rate of four
bushels for one of wheat:

The Peoples party has reached
that stage of decline where it has set
up an inner secret organization, with

The plan Of campaign Ofthe demo-
Gratis is not only to disparage all
attempts to start home manufactures,
but to dispa,age the quality of such
American manufactures as are already
established. The democratic argu-
ment consists in attempting to show
that American products are of poor
quality and are high priced. There
is not an American alive, with intel
ligence to see as far as his own front
gate, but knows that American prod
ucts are not Of poor quality II high
priced. An amendment to the
Worlds Fair bill, providing that all
exhibits should be placar1ed with the
foreign and American prices, was
voted down by the democratic house
after Mr.. COOmbs, a democratic
representative and business man from
Brooklyn, had expressed the opinion
that the showing would rebound to
the credit of the American manufac-
turer. If it would not discredit
American manufactures the demo-
Gratis wanted none of it.

so that official figures can be given.
Colonel Aver, the special agent, gives
the product of tin and terne plates in
the United States for the twelve
months ending June 80, 1892 THE tis-
cal year,, at 10, 70l $50 pounds. The
American Manufacturer estimates
thatthe total production of tin and
terne plate in the United States for
the year will be IA, 200, 000pounds. OF
this about one-third is tin plate and
| two 6hirds terDe plate. Nearly three
fouIths of the totai tin plate for the
yea, was made in the last quarter,
showing the rapid growth of the
industry. The production of tin
plate in the fourth quarter is nearly
twenty times as great as in the first
quarter. OF terne plate, the prUduc-
ton in the fourth quarter is eight
times as great as in the first quarter,
showing a rapid increase, though not
so rapid as of the tin plate. The
making of tin plate in the first quar-
ter was a little over ~one-fourth that
OF terne. In the last quarter it was
three-fifths. The American Manu-
facturer further explains that "in
this statement is not included any
sheet iron which has been made into
goods, vessels or wares and then
timed, which under the provisions
of the Mckinley act is to be counted
as tin plate" From inquiries among
sheet-iron manufacturers as to the
amount of their sales designed to be
used in this kind of products, the
American Manufacturer estimates
that the total product for the year
would be brought up to near 25,OOO,-
600 pounds. That publication very
justly concludes:
"If this does not mean that a tin
plate industry has been established in
the United States, and that it is
growing rapidly, we do not know the
meaning of figures"

whole table.
lt win be noticed. however, that there
is a general tendency during the first ten
years of the period toward lower prices.
This was due entirely to foreign compe-
tition. During these years Russia and

in 1890 we sold Liverpool CO per cent. Of
all the whsat marketed there. In 1850
we sold only IS per cent. This was what
depressed American wheat prices in re-

A Family Row.

Yesterday morning about IL o'clock. as
Officer Rips was walking up North East
street, he heard noise, causing him to
suspect a row. Going further up the
street, he found, on the sidewalk. in front
of the residence of Albert Richards, a lot
of woman'S apparel and saw a young
woman. of African descent, standing on
the street crying. Making further inves-
igatiOnS he found that the difficulty was
between Jennie Richards and her step
daughter, Martha Richards. Albert was
there and told the officer to arrest his
wife as she had struck his daughter. He
did so, and this morning the evidence was
heard by the recorder, which was about
as follows:
This row has been of long standing.
Yesterday the girl went to take from be-
hind her trunk a quilting frame, when
the step mother spoke up and said, what
are YOU BORDERING with things for" and
without further prOvOcatiOn slapped the
girl. and tried to throw her out of the
house. The father interfered however,
catching his wife in time 10 prevent her
from so doing. The wife got away, and,
taking the girls trunk and clothing,
threw them in the street, and declared
that she should not come into the
house again as long as she stayed there.
When Officer Rips arrived he tried to
pactfY the excited woman and get her to
take he girl hack. but, in Officer Rips
wOrus. she would not have it. and said
as long AS she stood on two legs. the girl
should never enter the house" A fine of
- Was assessed.
