PROBLEMS AT HOMESTEAD.

For the use of its non union wOrkmen
in the Homestead mills, the Carnegie
Company is building 600 dwellings, at
a point near Homestead. An entirely
new village will be established, and it
is said that it is the purpose of the
ironmasters to model it after the town
of Pullman, ILL.,, where the residents
are merely tenants. The thrifty wage
earners of Homestead were the more
ferocious because they owned their
own homes. 1t has always been argu-
ed that the stability of the government
would be promoted by having wage
earners invest their savings in real
estate; yet at Homestead the small
property owners were in revolt against
the government. A strange condi-
ton is arising surely in America if it
Is better for manufacturing concerns
and for the government that working
men should be merely tenants. Press
ed too far by the corporations there
would certainly be a revolt at the polls
II not by force of arms. One finds
among the average citizens of Pitts
burg sympathy with the Homestead
strikers, because many of the business
men in that locality have at some per-
iod of their lives worked in the mills.
The militiamen who stray into the
city have saucy and defiant air
which Americans who are not accus-
toned to large standing army do
not relish. The new village is likely
70 outstrip the older town of Home
stead, whose merchants, being unable
longer to sell goods for cash to idle
men, are moving from the place.

THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY.

1t is Proving Itself the Friend of the Cap
italist, the Enemy OF the People.
The Republican press is entirely con-
sistent with its record in its opposition
to the Democratic declaration in favor of
the repeal OF the national tax on the issue
of state banks. From it's inception it
has been the friend of the capitalist aud
the enemy of the people. From the be-
ginning of its tariff legislation, its pub
lie land legislation and its financial legis-
lation, it has been engaged in taking
money from the pockets of the people
and putting it into the pockets OF bond
holders and money sharks. Under the
specious plea of "honest money" it has
fattened the moneyed aristocracy to the
utmost, and 1t still responds to their calls
for more.
Under the pretense of strengthening
the public credit, mostly after the war
was over and the public credit was tax
ing all necessary care OF itself, it in
creased the public debt of the country
over $500, 900, 900 by changing the origi-
nal copt tract and virtually donating the
profits to the stockholders. Under the
plea OF honest money, it opposed the
reconciliation OF silver, which it had
accomplished by stealth and treachery.
Under the plea OF honest money, 1t forced
on the country the resumption of specie
payments in such a way as to bankrupt
the majority of the debtor class. Under
the plea Of honest money, 1t again de-
monetizcd silver, and by hostile legisla-
ton deprived 1t of very large portion
of It's former intrinsic value. 1t has in
every way, says the indianapolis Senti-
mel, pressed forward the capitalistic eff
fort to make gold the single standard OF
value and to decrease the circulating
medium to the lowest possible amount,
thereby enormously increasing the in
terest drawing power of money and de-
creRsing the price of commodities.
It ID, therefore. eminently consistent
for it to oppose giving back to the states
the power to remedy the deficiency OF a
circulating medium which was uncon-
stttutionally taken from them as a war
measure for the purpose Of stimulating
the value of ths grsenback currency
The talk about ''wildcat currency" is the
veriest nonsense. The condition of the
country with its unparalleled means for
transportation and communication
makes such a thing impossible, even il
public sentiment anywhere would per-
NIT it. No financier of any intelligence
has the slightest apprehension Of any
such thing occurring. 1t is merely an
other effort to divert public attention
from a newly proposed mode to wrest
the hands of the capitalists from the
threats of the people-to break the hold
which they have obtained through the
national government.

NEW ENGlAND'S SHARE.
II Gets Not . Dollar of tbs Immens
Profits on Steel.

II Gets Not Dollar of tbs Immense
Profits on Steel.
It 10 stated in the official organ of the
iron and steel industry that the product
of Bessemer steel rails in the United
States during the first half of the currsnt
year was $4,000 tons.
The profit on this manufacture has also
been recently officially computed, and it
appears to be, on this amount, somethin,
over g., 100000.
This is for six months work OF less
than a dozen mills, operated under Nc
Kinleyism. With McKinleyism out OF
the way, the profit would have been
about 81, 100000 for the six months. Ev 4
this lesser profit would seem to be ia :
enough.
But here in New England, says the
Boston Post, there is another phase OF
the subject which carries considerably
interest. Not dollar of this enormous
profit, at the rate OF SIC, 900 a year in a
single article of manufacture, is enjoyed
by New England.
New England railroads pay a consider
able part of this s10,OOO,00o year into
the pockets of the Psnnsylvania manu-
factarers, because the same tariff watch
"proteots" the Pennsylvania product has
killed the iron and steel industry III tn IA
part of the country.
Where il New England to look for her
share in this bounty?

HOPS ARE GOING UP.
The Boom Begins on Report Of Short
age in Worlds Crop.

SYRACUSE, n. Y, Sept IAN exhaustive re-
view OF the condition OF hops given by the New
York Homestead is published today. In Eng
land the yield Is placed at 100000 centais.
The German production is about 10000 900
pounds avurdupois. The English crop promises
To be much reduced from the estimate given,
owing to unfavorable climatic conditions of the
last ten days. England will have to import
1900 bales of lS0 pounds each. This supply must
largely come from he United States. The
Homestead reports indicate an assured shortage
OF the 1872 crop. The preliminary
1892 at 10000 bales: Pacific coast crop
at 81 900 bales, or total of $4,000 bales for the
United states this season. Reports of packing
to Wednesday of this week at Oswego
Madison, Schoharie and Oneida counties indi-
Gates that this estimate for the state is high
Even II the total crop equals this figure however,
It will leave only some 25,000,O)o pounds of hops
for domestic consumption, If 10000 bales are
exported, as was the case last year. Even tho
past years output of beer has Increased.
shortage OF 4, 900 bales before September l.
1898, Is predicted unless our exports are greatly
reduced or the fraudulent use OF hop substi.
tutes greatly increase, as tho result of the
Homestead exhibit, the county hop market il
unsettled and excited. sales being m ade As high
90 cents pound and from So to 40 cents.
Viewed by many of the large growers,
this is double and treble the prices which were
predicted year ago. Picking everywhere is In
fun swing. The new hop year. beginning today,
promises 10 be the most prosperous for growers
and the most exciting for dealers yet known in
the history of this iluctuatng product

WHEAT FROM BRoADBALK FIELD.

1s43. The continuous wheat experiments
commenced in the autumn of the same
year, the first harvest being in 1S4f.
In the earlier trials made upon turnips
and wheat the manures varied good deal
from year to year and the same plot was
not always treated in the same way;
more regular proceeding was, however,
soon adopted and has since been generally
adhered to- In the later systematic ex-
periments each plot receives every year
the same manuring. unless a change
some special object. The substances
applied are ammonium salts, So
dunn nitrate, superphosphate made
from bone ash, potassium suiphate, mag
nesium sulphate and sodium sulphate.
The various constituents of plant food are
thus applied in a soluble and active form.
The weight of each constituent applied is
also known, so that the results admit of
cumulative treatment.
Wheat has been grown in the celebrated
Broadbalk field every year for forty
eight years. and there is at present no APP
pearance of any decline in its fertility.
Our second cut Is from photograph rep
resenting the wheat harvested in 1878 from
seven of the plots. Plot . has received
farmvard manure every year since 1874;
plot 3 has been unmanured for the same
period; plot 5 has received ash constitu-
ents only since 1852; plot 6, the ash con-
stituents, with 200 pounds of ammonium
salts; plot Z, the same. with 4p pounds OF
ammonium salts; plot 8. the same, with
600 pounds ammonium salts; plot 9. the
ash constituents, with $50 pounds OF So
dunn nitrate. The picture illustrates in q
striking manner the preponderating effect
of heterogeneous manures IN determining
the iuxuriance of wheat
