Mr.. j. p. Blaize, an extensive real
estate dealer in Des Moines, Iowa,
narrowly escaped one of the severest
attacks of pneumonia, while in the
northern part of that state during
a recent blizzard, says the Saturday
Review Mr.. Blaize had occasion to
drive several miles during the storm,
and was so thoroughly chilled that
he was unable to get warm, and in
side of an hour after his return he
was threatened with severe case of
pneumonia or lung fever. Mr.. Blaize
sent to the nearest drug store and
got bottle of Chamberlain Cough
Remedy, of which he had often heard,
and took number of large doses.
He says the effect was wonderful,
and that in a short time he was
breathing quite easily. He kept on
taking the medicine, and the next
day was able to go to Des Moines.
Mr.. Blaize regards his cure as simply
wonderful. Fifty cent bottles for
sale by all dealers. Benson, Smith

second class half that figure, and
every pound of luggage, except that
carried in the travellers hand, is
charged for at SO high rate that a
trunk of ordinary size costs more to
transport than its owner. Herbert
Smith, speaking on this subject, says
that though the coffee districts
drained by the Dom Pedro and other
railroads are so enormous, they do
not give one-thirtieth as much
freight as would come from the same
area in the United States. The great
plantations are widely scattered, and
the majority of the people upon
them being ex-slaves they have few
wants beyond what they can raise.
1t seems that there is vast differ
ence in the producing power of land,
according to what is raised upon it.
For example, you cannot produce
more than 500 pounds of coffee from
any one acre of ground in year I'M
der the very best conditions; while
in the same length of time, from
eight to ten times that weight in
corn or wheat might be produced.
But if wheat or grain were grown
hereabouts it would cost more to get
it to Rio, at present railway rates,
than to bring it all the way from the
United States. Strange as it may
appear, it has actually been figured
out that wheat raised in Wisconsin
and Minnesota can be laid down
cheaper in Rio de Janeiro than if it
were grown at the end of the Dom
Pedro railway. 1t is well known
that Brazil produces more than half
of all the coffee consumed in the
world, and that the United States
takes more than half of all she ex-
ports.

said that the average life of a coffee

and the wonder is that it lasts SO
long. Time was when all the hills
that environ Rio and the shores of
its bay were covered with coffee
groves, remains of which are still to
be seen; but with the opening of the
railways, coffee culture disappeared
from that section and pushed itself
farther and farther into the interior.
Though the commerce of the Brazil
ian capital is dependent almost
entirely upon coffee, the commodity
is now brought down from San
Paulo, Minas-Goreas and other cen
trail provinces. The railways were
built expressly for coffee transporta-
ton and for the convenience of PEG
pie depending upon that branch OF
commerce. Thus nearly every pas

As everybody knows, slavery has
been abolished in Brazil according
to law, but the negroes of the inte-
rior are virtually slaves as much as
ever--in the bondage of ignorance,
poverty and debt. The freight on

cent per mile; therefore coffee com

borhood of 81 the sack for transpor-
tation to the shipping poiut-one-
third of its value when delivered in
Rio. From Rio to New York the
freight rarely exceeds sixty cents the
sack, and it is often as low as twenty
five cents. Thus fifty miles of rail
way travel in the country where it
grows, costs more than 500 miles of
ocean. Many of the planters still
send their coffee to market

times troops of several hundred ar
rive in the morning, and again there
are weeks when none appear. Every
mule brings two bags of coffee on
his back, each weighing 13S pounds.
Having made long, slow journeys,
often of hundreds of miles, the ami
mails are pitiable looking objects
when their burdens are removed, for
the constant saving of the loads has
not only abraded the skin, but in
many instances ground off the flesh
to the bone. The bags are dumped
in huge piles in the Custom House
yards, and around them cargadores
immediately collect like swarms of
black flies. There is an export duty

When the point is pushed into the
sack of coffee, the berries run down
through the tube; and after hand

ment is withdrawn and it's point

closing the opening. The operation

THE FIRST COFFEE TREE

in Brazil was planted by Francis
can Friar named Vallaso, in the gar
den of the San Antonio convent;
but not until long afterwards (about
the time of the Haytian insurrec-
tom did it become an object of
great cultivation and Importance
The first cargo was sent to the United
States in 1909, and all the coffee
grown that year in the Empire was
barely 10000 sacks. These coffee
districts, especially those of Gayaz
and Matto-Grosso, were originally
settled by gold hunters, who buried
themselves deep in the interminable
forests, in their search for treasure.
Their quest was SO successful that
the most eager avarice was more
than satiated. But people cannot
eat gold and diamonds; and agricul-
ture being wholly neglected, it came
about that many who could count
IL. +raasura nv billions. suffered
Tor the very necessaries OF life. Next
to Mexico and Peru (before the dis
covery of Australian and Californian
deposits, Brazil furnished the largest
quantum of hard currency to the
commercial world; and there were
diamonds, rubies, sapphires, topaz,
opals and emeralds galore. But
these treasures retarded the progress
of the country more than the I'M
healthy climate, dense forests, ser
penis and savages have ever done.
So much greater are the riches of
the present agricultural production
that the annual sum received from
the single article of coffee-not to
mention lndia-rubber, cotton, sugar,
dye-woods and other great staples
exceeds the results of nearly a cen
fury of diamond mining. A few
figures will prove this. Take the
era of independence, the most pros
porous period of mining-from the
year l740 to 1722-and of diamonds,
the $4,000 carats exported were
worth not quite three and one-half
million pounds sterling; while during
the year 1851 exports of coffee from
Rio alone amounted to "a, 756, 1874
During the two years ending June
1874, Brazil exported coffee to the
value of $l2S,O60,OOO, and during the
same period, diamonds to the value
of $l0,5O6,5l2. The last official re-
ports to which | have had access,
for the two years ending June 1887,
give the value of coffee exported as
1O2, 273,542,93l milreis, and diamonds
only 227 ,2S6,OO0 milreis. This is not
because the famous mines show any
signs of exhaustion, or that they are
not worked as industriously as of
yore, but because the area of agri-
culture has been so greatly extended.

NdJIES ON THE LAKES.

The question of maintaining war
ships on the lakes. which it is alleged
Canada is contemplating, is apparently
becoming of rather serious Importance.
For sixty-tive years Great Britain and
the United States have faithfully OBJ
served the treaty stipulation by which
each country has limited its armed
naval force on the lakes to the email
number of vessels required in 1917 to
keep the commercial peace of these
inland seas. 1t would be misfor-
tune for both countries if the re-
ported purpose of Canada to in
crease the naval strength of the Do
minion on the lakes should lead this
country and Great Britain to create n
largely increased armament in waters
where for two generations there has
been no demand for ships Of war
The report recently made TO the sec
retary of the treasury by Lieutenant
Garden of the revenue marine service
relieves all doubt that may have ex-
listed as to the character of the vessels
constructed by the Canadian govern
mept for lake service. They may be
called revenue cutters, in order to come
within the provisions of the treaty, but
they are essentially war vessels, or at
any rate are so built that they can read
lily be converted into war vessels.
Lieutenant Garden states that the
United States revenue cutters pow on
the lakes would be utterly worthless
against those OF the Canadian govern
ment, and it is said that the Treasury
department is fully aroused to the
necessity of putting on the lakes new
revenue cutters OF modern type, capa
bic of coping, if need be, with those of
Canada. 1t would seem that there car
be no difference of opinion as to the ex

REDECE PRDDECTION.


The governor of Nevada makes q
gloomy report regarding the mining
towns in that and adjacent states. He
stated recently to the representative of
San Francisco paper that there is not
dividend-paying silver mine in Ne
vada, even the Colnstock mines paying
nothing for working. Owing to the low
price of silver, the low grade ores,
which are most abundant, caunot be
worked at profit. The governor says
that silver cannot be profitably produced
at less than 80 cents per fine ounce,
from which it is to be inferred that it
can be produced ut profit at that price.
The fact is that silver can be profit
ably produced at a considerably less
price than 80 cents per fine ounce, and
while it is doubtless true that the min
ing interests are not doing as we'll as
formerly, the report regarding them by
the governor of Nevada is unquestion
ably an eXaggeration. However, ii the
present price of silver does not enable
them to produce at profit they may
find the remedy in suspending produc-
tion. Whatever the silver interest may
think about it, the difficulty with silver
Is overproducton. No attention has
been given to tho law OF supply and de-
mand, and silver is no more
exempt from the operation of
that law than any other commod-
ity. Even gold is subject to it. In
order, therefore, to rehabilitate silver
the surest course is to decrease
the output and leave the law OF supply
and demand to operate without artiti-
cial restriction. The cure for deprecia-
tion in value caused by producing more
of a commodity than the world wants is
to produce less until the excess has
been used up. If the production of sill
yer were to be reduced one-half the
effect upon the price would be more sal
utory than could possibly be secured
through any sort of legislation.
Nobody wishes to see the silver inter
est of the country decline. 1t is an i'm
pOrtant industry which it is desirable
to maintain. But it must be carried or
upon the same business principles thai
are necessary to the SUCCESS of other
business industries. 1t cannot ignore
the all-pervading and all-regulating Law
OF supply and demand and be successful

THE DUTY or THE LEGISLATURE,
The work Of the investigation by the
Lancaster county grand jury, which has
resulted in the indictment of n number
Of rersons charged with defrauding tho
state by outright tembezzlcmcnt, forgery
of due bills, short weight and measure
Of supplies furnished state institutions
ana general pilfering, should be supple
mented by thorough legislative inves.
tigaton into the management of state
institutions. There are ten chances to
one that tho Lincoln indictments will
result In u fizzle, worry much like the in
dictments OF Omaha's boodlc councilmen.
Lincoln is infested with professional
public thieves and plunderers and it
would be next to miracle
that any man connected with those rings
should be convicted and sen. to the pen.
Such thing is unhearl-o! in the an
nails of Nebraska aud is not likely TO
happen unless some scapcgoot is picked
out to- cove: the retreat of the gang.
The fact is that the first and only
fearless and searching investigation
that has ever been attempted to purge
the capital OF thieves, defaultors, en-
bezzlers and plunderers was made by
the legislature of 1871, which impeached
a governor and auditor and recovered
So COO of conscience money from fright
ened ex secretary of strte. 1t was an
expensive inquisition, but it set an
example for all time to come that was
worth all it cost.
In any movement TO purge the state
institutions and bring TO justice officials
who have betrayed their trust the
honest men of all parties will join
heartily. The only danger is that the
ringsters and corporation manipulators
who always work hand-in-glove with
them, will seek at the very outset to or
ganze the legislature SO as to throttle
honest inquiry and whitewash the
rogues.
The only way to prevent such q con-
spiracv is by acounter combine AS we
have SAID once before just as soon as the
legislature meets the sheep should
separate from the goats. Force the
Doodle gang and the hrass-collar gentry
to show their colors. When that i
done it will be found that party i
merely II mask under which these peo
pie cndeavor to rally when they fine
it convenient for carrying out theil
schemes. The only way to counterac
their plots is by n union of all members
who sincerely desire to stamp out cor
ruption and give the people relief iron
imposition and eXtortion, whateve
shape it may take.
