land fSeptember 1917 At the present
time the price is higher, so that when a
comparison is made with the PottstoWn
rate it can be easily seen that both the
English puddler and his helper are much
better off-taking everything into con
sjderation-than the American patriots
whose "fat is fried" along with their en-
Movers. l viii guarantee that the Enghsn
puddler does not pay 81 to $40 Tor rent.
This amount must be paid by the puooler
in POttstown who rents house. ana
furthermore, DO English puddier would
stay in the United States II work was
steady the year round.
The system in vogue at Pottstown is such
that 50 per ton is shared two-thirds TO pud-
der and one-third to his helper, when all the
weight charged is drawn; If short weight
is drawn the puddler loses in favor or the
helper. Five heats constitute turn S
(dayisl work, LOO pounds charged eacn
heat. 81 500 pounds for the five heats. rms
weight enables both men TO make falr
DAYS pay, taking into consideration the
state OF the iron market and the skill en-
ployed, and also the rate paid to other
workmeu at other callings for eight or
twelve hours work.
The system in England admits OF the
workman making out Just as good, and the
Tree trade pOllcy gives MIN OoIISi OPPOA "
mites OF living than are enjoyed by the
Pottstown man, and it lays entirely within
the power of the man himself whether or
not ne enjoys the place called home. he
can have one if ne wants to. Incorporate
drink is the curse of the puddler, as it is OF
all others. If drink is left out of his &C
cOmplishment he can and will have nest
for the Young ones called "home, sweet
home" and also have something laid aside
for ''rainy day"
Free raw materials are wanted, proper
location, best and latest appliances, less
poppycock and fiapdoodle about the poor
wage Garner" and tariff for revenue
only" The American iron and steel pro-
Queer does now and will make superior
article and much more of it than the Eng
ush competitor, and not only supply the
wants of the 60,0OO,0OO Of people in this
country, but have grand opportunity OF
compelling for the trade Of the untold mil
lions Of people OF the whole world. Times
are about ripe for a change of policy The
axiom 1.-The greater good for the greater
number must be put in operation. "

our foreign commerce is repugnant to
American institutions, and in this case,
useless. Hence we have been wiped
out as competitors. Our infamous
tariff system has made ship building too
expensive here, and we have inssneiy
refused American registry to foreign
built ships. The measure is something
of a compromise, and credit for 1t IS
due TO Mr.. GRIscoM Of the old Interna-
tional Navigation Company, which
owns the city Of Paris and the city OF
New York.
This company made a splendid effort
a few years ago to establish line OF
American ships between Philadelphia
and Liverpool. 1t went down before
the mighty competition. To-day it is
waiting to place the United States flag
at the peaks Of its splendid foreign
built ships. The English do not ap-
prove OF the new Democratic measure,
and Lord DERBY thinks that complica-
tions may arise, owing to the fact that
the majority Of the English-0uilt steam
ships belong to the English Naval Re-
serve, by reason of subsidies bestowed,
aud owe their service to England in case
Of war A change Of flags may not be

Anyhow tits benefcent measure and
will wipe out long train Of disastrous
consequences attendant on vicious Re-
publican legislation.

CorroN. CORN AND WHEAT.
Condition of the Crops. Acreage. Aver
ages, Etc


ages, Etc.
New YORK. May 10.-The lines pre-
sents this morning special dispatches
from its correspondents in twenty-five
States in the Union, giving careful and
conservative summary of the acreage,
condition, prospects and probable yield
of cotton, corn and wheat. These con-
ditions and prospects may change as
the season advances, but the prospect
is not cheering. The significant fact
about the cotton crop is the decrease
in acreage. That there is such
a decrease is reasonably certain
though opinions differ as TO how great
II is. Estimates run from 10 to Is per
cent. less in Louisiana, 10 30 to 50 per
cent. less in Mississippi. Low prices
last year left everybody poor. Drought
has seriously affected the crop in some
States. The total yield will be less than
last year. Corn has suffered from the
late spring in the great corn growing
States, but more particularly from
heavy rains. In Indiana not per cent.
of the seed is in the ground, while in
Nebraska it will be week before the
ploW can be put into the soil even II 1t
should stop raining. In some States
the acreage will be larger than last year
OF the wheat growing States, South Da-
kota is the only one that promises a large
crop. In Minnesota only one-third OF the
wheat has been sown, and though the
acreage is 10 per cent larger than last
year, the weeks o. cold rain have made
the prospects of the harvest far from
flattering. Similar conditions have pre-
vailed in Wisconsin.
Washington has enjoyed good wealth
er, and though North Dakota has wet
spring and has an acreage of % per
cent. less than last year, it is confident
of good crop. From Illinois, Kansas
and Ohio the reports are not encourag-
ing, though those states have suffered
from the spring rains.

Big Forest Fire.

BORDEAUX, May l0.-Great excitement
has been occasioned here by a fire that was
raging in pine forest near the city The
powder magazine in which was stored
large quantity Of explosives, was in close
proximity to the forest, and it was feared
that the intense heat of the burning trees
or the sparks that were blown hlther ana
thither by the wind would cause an explo-
sion. the effects of which would have been
disastrous. The towns people turned out in
force to assist the firemen, and their OK
perience in fighting previous forest fires in
the vicinity Of Bordeaux stood them in
good stead Back fires were started and
this prevented the flames from reaching too
close to the magazine and finally the fire
burned itself out. Five hundred acres OF
valuable timber land was burned over.

wha county for the congressional nomi-
nrtion has been happily terminated ana
that question is entirely eliminated
from the canvass in this county by the

TO express by ballot his choice OF a can

OF the candidates, and it will undouot-

wants in this contest is substantial JUS

OUR NEIGHBoR ON PARKHUEsT'

The IutelligCHCeT, which Is always
late, and, being quarrelsome from habit,
is consequently always forced to take
the wrong side of every question, now
comes to the front in defense Of PARK
HURST. IL says:
So far as most of the criticisms are con-
cerned 10 is plain that they are born more
of regret that the truth has come out so
thatit cannot be gainsaid than OF any non
est feeling of sorrow that clergy man
would, even for the noblest purpose, pol
Lutte his ewes with such deoaucnery. Inc
Pharisees are not all dead.
This is false and gratuitouS In
suit TO an overwhelming majority OF
Christian men and women who look
with horror and loathing on Or. PARK
HURsr's methods. The following is
from the testimony Of PARKHURsT con-
corning his proceedings in one Of the
vicious resorts visited by him, which we
submit for the consideration Of the re-
ligious public:
O.-"Did YOU say Let US have something
to 6rinkr Al think / did.
Q.-'And YOU drank! Al did.
Q.-"And the girls drank! A.-Yes, sir.
O.-"Did YOU have another round oil
drinks Ave did.
Q.-'Were the girls there with youi A.
Yes
Q.-Aud did they drink with yOu' A
Yes.
Q.-"And you drank again with them.
Q-"And your friend Erving, the Sab
bath school teacher danced with one OF the
women. Ayes.
Q-"Did YOU ask Erving TO stop dancing
with that woman! A.-No.
O-"And after the dance was through
tbe women left the room! A.-Yes.
O-''Aud YOU remaiued2 Al did.
Q-"And more beer was sent for, and
YOU a minister Of the Gospel. then drank
more beer. A.-Yes, L drank beer.
O.-''You knew that these women were
hariotsl Al did when / left.
O-"She lone OF the harlOtsl said you
threw your hat over 20 Gardiner and the
hat was kicked about. Al believe that
occurred.
This is the most decent part Of the
evidence, most Of which was Of such a
character that it could not even be
limited at in print. And these are the
proceedings which the Intelligencer en-
dorses as proper for a minister of the
gospel to engage in.
Rev DR.. DA COSTA, whom even the
Intclltyenccr will hardly accuse Of har-
boring regret that the truth has come
out. or Of being a Pharisee, in letter
TO the District Attorney on the subject,
says:
Within twelve months 7 believe such
actions as those Of DrParkhurSt will DC de-
clared a felony by act of Legislature. II
Christian ministers are going 10 be al
lowed 20 pursue such course, OF what use
will it be for people OF morality to hghtthe
0attlel
DR.. DA COSTA does not stand alone
among the ministers who condemn
PARKHUEsr'S methods, and behind them
are thousands of virtuous, home-loving
men and women, and sensible people Of
all classes who do not believe that
PARNHUEsr'S end justified, or necessi-
tated. the foul means he employed
means which have polluted thousands of
pure homes through the public prints,
and accomplished more harm to inno-
cence i'm a day than HATTIE ADAMS
class could accomplish in year.
