Gard of Thanks.

Iwish to say to the people of South Napo-
leon and others that they have my heartfelt
thanks for the kindness manifested during
my wife's illness. It seems to me that every
thing was done that could reasonably be
done to console her in herafiictions of un-
told sufferings. But these acts of kindness,
these deeds af charity, are not without their
rewSrd; for Jesus said, 'Tnasmuch as ye
have done it unto one of the least of these
my brethren, ye have done il unto me-"
She is now at rest, free from all the suffer-
ings of this life. She leaves behind her one
of the brightest evidences that she is now
living with those who washed their robes and
made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
She was the mother of eight children, seven
of which are living. --..
Our home is made 40 sad,
Through the loss of one we loved;
But then we have the blessed hope
Of meeting again above.

We regret to see that our President
fails to observe the justice of our de-
mands and calls attention to the far
mers' prosperity. He says that they

LABOR STATISTICS.

Some Interesting Figures Relating to
workingmen's Wages.
COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 9.-Returns re-
ceived by State Commissioner of Labor
Statistics John Mcbride from / 1915 of
the largest and most important indus
trial establishments in the state of Ohio
show the following results:
First-The cost of materials, $t21.-
930,816, added to $53, $40, ,7y4. the
amount paid in wages and salaries,
makes $l75,371 $40, the entire cost of
productions; this deducted from $780,
720, ,732, or the whole value of product,
leaves a net profit of $35, ,349, 1879, or
24.58 per cent. of $143, ,S02, oil, the whole
capital invested.
Second-The capital invested equals
81, ,365.22 per .employe.
Thirdly deducting the cost Of ma
terials from the value of product, tb :,
balance is the combined earnings of
capital and labor, of which labor re-
ceives 60.23 per cent. and capital 39.77
per cent. Labor here includes wage
earners and salaried officers A5e7
Fourth-Of the $lT5, ,371 $40 entering
into the cost of production, 3053 per
cent. was paid in salaries and wages, and
the balance, 69.47 per cent, was paid
for materials. ~5'f ~,
Fifth-The total number of employees
drawing $53, $40, ,794 in wages and saIa-
ries is 1O5, 1888; of this number 6,076 are
managers, bookkeepers, statesmen and
clerks, drawing in the aggregate 3d.
S33, ,45S, an average salary. of 81, ,124.66
each. Deducting 6,076 from 105, 1888
and $6,833, ,458 from $53, SAC, ,794, we
have 99, 1857 wage earners receiving $4G,-
7O7, 1886, or an average of $470.o5 each
per annum.
Sixth-Dividing the number of DAYS
worked during the year by the number
of employees, gives a working year of 4
days, which at $470.05 year gives an
average daily wages of $1.59.
Seventh - The average number of
hours worked per day is nine and seven
tenths, this gives an average hourly
WAGES Of sixteen and thraa-tenths ceilts

OHIO LEGISLATURE.


HoUsE-The first political tilt of the
session occurred over the Dayton redis-
tricting bill. 1t was finally passed by a
strict party vote. A bill was passed to
punish disturbers of passengers on street
or railway cars. A bill was introduced to
prevent double taxation on real estate. %
SENATL-The Carpenter redistricting
bill was passed Bills introduced; To
protect from prosecution for cruelty to
animals owners of cattle who dehorn
them without employing a skillful
surgeon to repeal the law creating the
state board of pardons and to enact the
old law giving the governor full power to
consider and pass on all applications for

Expensive Experience.

A Hicksville, Ohio, grocer bought a
lot of Oleomargarine recently to retail.
When he discovered there wasa retail
ers tax to pay at the rate of S48 o
year he sought to avoid it, and turned
the oleo over in bulk to hotel man,
and thereby made himself liable for
the wholesale tax at the rate of $3.50 a
year, which he had to pay, with the
penalty of so per cent for having left
the tax unpaid for month or more.
Collector Waldorf, when asked
about these cases says the Toledo Conn
me rcidt said: 'There are q great many
people who are not aware of the i'm
portance of the internal revenue law
pertaining to the sale of ofoleomargarine.
Yes, there is license of $4S year, or
at the rate, and o wholesale license of
$3.50 year. An infringement of the
law places the offende in precisely the
same attitude to the government as
does the illegal sale of whisky or beer.
The wholesale tax is made so as to be
almost prohibitory. 1t becomes quite
hardship when any one sells so as to
become liable under the laws as whole
sale dealer. The year begins on the
first Of July, and at any time between
that and the first Of July following he
has to pay proportionate part of the
$3.50. For instance, if he did business
last month he would have to pay seven
months taxes, and to this penalty of
so per cent in addition where the tax
is not paid within the month on which
the liability to pay it occurred. Though
these cases occurred under q misappre-
hension and in ignorance of the law,
there is no relief. The law is specific
and when man violates it he has to
pay. There is no way to get over it."

Notice to the Farmers of Henry
County, o. ~
NJ. SwITzER.


Every farmer who has any system or regu-
Iation about his'work will recognize the fact
that there are times when it is necessary that
he should do certain kinds Of work. Just at
this particular time of the year, there is but
little out door work that he ean do, aside
from taking care of his stock. This however
is splendid time to prepare for his spring
and summer work. No doubt his farming
utensils could be much improved with lit
tie paint which he can apply himself. 1t will
not only make them look better, but they
will last very much longer; some Of the
harness no doubt is dry and hard ready to
crack and break when good application of
Saur & Balsley's harness oil would put it in
condition to last several years longer. They
also have large stock of fresh paint ready
for use prepated in such way that any one
can apply it, and make good job of it.
You can get any color and any quantity you
may wish, including brushes at their drug
and book house.
