altogether in consequence of stringent laws.
There is only one South American city where
the old time horrors of the bull-fght are still
witnessed with undated ardor This is Monte
ydeo. where battles royal OF six rounds, in
which thirty or forty horses are gored, occur
in the Plaza de Toros.
Such performances as that in San Luis Potosi
arc extremely rare. and the abandonment of
the brutal sport is only question Of time
throughout Spanish America Cock lighting
still Aourishes in Havana, Mexico, Lima,
Caracas and other Southern cities, but pop
ular revolt is also setting in against that amuse-
mcnt Far more popular than bull-baiting
and cock fighting is the American circus, which
is q recognized institution in the Argentine,
Chill. Peru. Mexico and other countries. The
clown with his merry quips and antics has taken
the place of the matador with his knife The
bareback rider has become a more familiar
figure in the amphitheatre than the bande-
rillero with red blanket and bristling spike.
The instructive love of the sight OF blood re-
mains among the more ignorant and degraded
populations, but Spanish America Is neither
standing still nor retrograding, but is steadily
making progress in the direction OF more lnno-
cent and less revolving recrcatiens as well rs
more humane methods of life and government.

ery are constantly sought by producers In order
m gain an advantage over their rivals. mus
the swift advance of this country in the de-
yelopment of its resources and industries is di-
rectly due to the stimulus which draws ever
new competitors into the field and progress IN
this country toward cheapening of products
has been as remarkable as in any other part
Of the world. At the same time similar meth
DDS and measures have stimulated industries IN
other countries also, and the strong competition
to which those industries are exposed from this
country pushes them to the utmost possible
progress. SO it comes to pass that consumers
in all parts of the world share the benefits
secured by encouraging and diversifying in
dustrics in many countries.
Ii is a real and substantial benefit. When
the wage Garner Of to-day learns that he can
buy with S96 60 the same quantities and quail
tiles of various articles which would have cost
him 81 90 three years ago, he may well pause
10 reflect that this change alone would add
more than $50 to the amount he can save in
wear, or if he chooses, can apply to the pur-
chase of greater comforts for his family or
better education for his children. The wage
earners of this country average about So per
day for each head of a family, and if their
wages had not altered at all within three years
the change in prices alone would have been
equivalent to an addition of about $50 to the
yearly wages of every such person.
1t has been stated already that the decline in
prices since the last year of a revenue tariff
has averaged about "a per cent for all articles
entering into the cost of living. This is the
same as il the wage-earner receiving $500
year, had a present made to him of S144
wear, though in fact the workers of this country
expcnd large proportion of their gains through
the chcapening of products in obtaining greater
comforts, better homes. better living, more
wholesome food. more desirable clothing and
better education. They live better in every
respect than they lived thirty years ago in part
because Protection has enabled them to COM
mand larger wages in money, but in part be-
cause the cheapening of products has given to
every dollar the buying power that about 81 80
formerly possessed.

subject to its thraldom, and the discomfort ana
suffering resulting therefrom have been I'M

BELL.BAITING IN THE SOUTH.

lust remark was made by Mr.. Curtis,
of the State Department, in his address at
Chautauuua on the Spanish-American repub-
lies. He said that Northern readers received
n distorted idea of the social condition OF that
part of the world from dispatches in the press
representing them to be in state of turbulence,
anarchy and generalization. A very good
illustration was offered in the same issue in
which his speech was reported. A horrible ac-
count of bull flight in San Luis Potosi was
published in dispatch from Mexico Before
an assemblage of 5000 spectators two bull
baiters were killed. So wild with excitement
was the audience when the bull gored a mata-
dor and caught UP one Of the banderilleros on
his horns that it protested vehcmently against
the slaughter of the animal. The spectators
IN frenzy Of passion cheered for the bull, and
seemed to derive savage delight from the
slaughter of the unfortunate tormentors. The
atrocious performance was closed by the police
amid tumultuous uproar. A Northern reader
naturally derives from such recital very
painful impression OF Spanish American
civilization The conclusion which he is apt
TO base upon so horrible an incident is that
the recreations of races of Latin blood in the
south are balbarous and characterized by sheer
love OF bloodshed and cruelty.
Now the truth points in the contrary direc-
ton Bull batting, which fourshed
throughout Spanish america. has declined dur
ing the last fifty years, and is prohibited by
law in many of the States. In Mexico, where
this revolving exhibition occurred, public opin-
ion in nearly all the influential States is ar
raycd against it, and in one city after another
the bull-ring has been closed by municipal
ordinance. In Cuba and Peru bull fights still
take place, but horses arc not ordinarily killed
in the ring, and the exhibitions are much less
revolving than they have been in the past.
In the Argentine Confederation, Chill, Venez-
uela and other States bull batting has ceased

AN EXCITING PICNIC.

This certainly Is most remarkable summer.
Whole islands drop out of sight; there are great
storms, fires and strikes; the Democrats announce
that they are going to elect their candidate ana
actually seem to believe what they say; and
spell" of the most absurd and uncallcd-ior
weather sweeps over the whole country. And
now comes a report which seems TO show that
even the old fashioned summer picnic has changed
or at least that change has started in 1t which, II
institution.
OF course the picnic has always been thing OF
pain The picnic was probably first invented by
some tyrant n form of torture FOR his prisoners
For one day the unhappy wrctches were relieved
from their chains, taken from their cells and
sent out into the woods for n picnic. At night
a good stone cell with an eight-nch hole in the
wall by way Of furniture really seemed TO them
PARADISE But we wander from the subject-that
Of the and improved picnic. Formerly the
two great twin tcrrors OF the picnic have been
the thundershower in the afternoon and the odd,
almost intelligent, way in which tine pickles
ALWAYS conceal themselves in the custard pie
But pie nor pickles. nor atmospheric disturbance
were not noticed in the Illinois picnic TO which
we have reference. 1t took place at Queens
Lake. near Mascautah and, according To the dis
matches, seems to have been lively affair. When
the northbound train from St. Louis stopped at
Queens Lake at about o'clock the passengers
were astonished to see that the pcnickers were
engaged in great joint fight, revolvers knives
and clubs being used in reckless manner" The

VHAT LOVER PRICES MEAN.

Senator Carlisle does not controvcrt the state
ments of Senator Aldrich regarding the course
of prices for the last three years. 1t is most
encouraging fact that at length strong men ON
both sides have recognized the necessity of
some common ground of established facts from
which to reason, and have united in an effort
to obtain body of information which all can
accept as reliable But while admitting that
retail prices are somewhat lower than three
years ago, according to the report of the COM
mittee "a per cent lower in May last than in
June. August, 1899, the Senator from Kentucky
reasons that the progress OF science and invcn-
tons and labor saving machinery ought TO grad
ually cheaper products, so that fall in prices
should be regarded as the normal course of
things, and the legitimate fruit of the Nations
share in human progress. There is truth in this
claim, and yet the Senator pushes it too far
if he infcrs that the chcapening of prices is not
a result of Protection

A picked detachment Of four companies OF
the National Guard of this State, representing
respectively the 7th. 18th, 22d and 2Sd regi-
ments, left yesterday by special train for Peeks-
kill, where it is to remain in camp one week.
While there they will be exercised in the new
drill under the eyes of officers OF the regular
army who were prominent members OF the
Board which compiled the regulations in ques-
ton. An opportunity will thus be given for
an cxemplifcation of the highest possibilities
of the new drill and under the most favorable
conditions. The majority of the men consti-
tuting the detachment are non-commissioned
officers of their respective regiments, who will,
however, serve as privates during the week
in camp. From military point of view, the
next eight days are expected to prove the most
interesting week Of the entire National Guard
encampment season of 1892.

assertion in Western Democratic journal that
the price Of anthracite coal has been advanced
a dollar ton by wicked tarih trust, and that
millions Of dollars will be saved 10 consumers by
" tariff reform and free coal AS there Is no
duty on anthracite coal, this assumption is really
very pfrcshing.
