How can the profits Of farming b,
increased ?
Everything the farmer buys is en-
hanced in price by means of taxation
nothing he has to sell is enhanced il
price by means Of taxation. He i.
a particular victim Of each Of our num-
erous forms OF taxation. His business
is about taxed to death Therefore il
would seem that the question eftax re-
form is one of the paramount impor-
lance to the farmer, because if the
prices of the things he wants to buy are
reduced and the prices of the produce
be has to sell are increased, the profit
ableness of farming will be enhanced.
The prices the farmer receives for
his products can only be rsissd slow y
by improving the methods of hand
ling and the means of transportation
Business instinct spd competition can
be relied on 10 DO this work. Lecisla-
ton can really do but little to this end.
II can only, in sOme few cases, interfere
in the operation of some petty lnonop-
olies. But this is exceptional. There
is no means BY which any great advancs
IN prices can be secured to the farmer
tor his prodaeiu.
Relief must coms from the other
side. Prices of things be buys mast be
cheaPened. Where ever these prices
are enhanced by monopoly the monop-
oily must be broken up This can moi
be done through Legislation calculated
to directly repress monopoly. Such
Legislation has always failed; always
wisi fell. Witness the fight against
the sugar trust, shich held the price
up to 0 cents a pound. When it was
finally decided that the New York law
was constitutional, it simply reorganixed
sndsr the New Jersey law, and the
price was kept at . cents pound. The
only way to suppress . monopoly is by
destroying the conditions usdeF which
it thriVes- This was done when the
tariff was lowered on sugar, and the

The silver Law.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
silver bill Of July, 1890, has been in
operation nearly eighteen months, there
seems to be few people as yet who have
ever given the matter thought enough
to fathom its infamy. The masses
continue to confound the silver GER
tificate of the older issues with those
issued under the new law. This mis-
take is not confined to common people,
but we find It alike prevalent in the
minds Of editors and politicians.
In looking the matter up notice that
the issue under the new law reads:
"Silver certificate. This certi6es
that there have been deposited in the
treasury OF the United States, five sill
yer dollars, payable to the bearer on
demand" 1--WE read from fise dol
lar billy
The new bill reads: Treasury note.
The United States of America will pay
bearer five dollars in coin on demand"
Now We call attention to the differ
eDce. Under the old law they were
redeemable in silver dollars. Under
the new they are redeemable in coiu,
which, while it may mean silver, in
cludes gold.
The intentions of the bill when il
was first gotten up, were first, to help
the silver men to dispose Of their bull
lion at good round figure; secondly,
to pander to popular cry for more
money in circulation, and third, to SC
arrange matters that while the first
object could be attained without fail
ure, the second object could be met
and the people hoodwinked, and at the
same time not increase the circulating
medium one cent, if SO desired.
Let US see how it works. Here FOL
instance is Mr.. Silver Spectator who
has million dollars worth of bullion
He presents it for sale the governmen,
buys it. He receives in payment fol
bis bullion certificates payable in coir
on demand, one million dollars worth
Instead of keeping it in that form be al
once presents them for redemption il
gold. The gold coin is paid over. The
certificates are redeemed. There i,
no provision for their issue. They ar.
at once cancelled or cremated, and tina
is the last Of them. No provision o
the law has been violated.
The government monthly buy
$500, 900 ounces of silver bullion. !
issues an equal amount of certificates
and the same amount Of certificates ar,
redeemed, or nearly SO every month
Told in few words, the government j

yer bullion every month and paying 70
it in gold. The people are taxed t
buy the bullion, not one dollar of wbicl
is coined, but is stored away in tn
vaults, where it can possibly do no on
any good.
The great majority of our peopl
suppose that the bill is all right, Will
in fact it is the most deceptive piece 0

The facts are that during the days
named, for each bushel OF wheat cold,
New York market wreckers sold 372
bushels of Fat gram, and that it would
require but thirty-six days for them to
sell options equaling in amount an
average wheat crop.
An expert, writing on the subject,
says: ut ia not unusual for as much
fat wheat to be sold 10 a day as there
is of actual grain received in a year
For instance, on the 18th of April
1890, New York spectators sold a.
100000 bushels of fiatwheat, probably
more than twice as much as reached

About the Human Form.

The right arm is always little
larger than the left, but the lie ft foot
is almost always larger than than
the right, presumably because, while
nearly every man uses his right arm
to lift weight or strike q blow, he
almost invariably kicks with his left
foot, while the louuger stands on his
left leg and lets his right fall easily,
because he has learned by experience
that this Is the best attitude he can
assume to prevent lassitude and
fatigue. This constant bearing
of the weight on the
left foot makes 1t wider than
the right, and it often happens that a
man who tries on a shoe OH the right
foot and gets close fiji has to discard
the shoes altogether because he can
not endure the pain caused by the
tightness of the left. If, when riding
on street car, you will take the
trou BILE to notice, you will see that in
laced shoes the gap is smaller on the
right foot than on the left. while with
button shoes the buttons have to he
