The statistics for dairy products are
made up for five months only. but they
show that in that period, ending Sept.
30, 1892, the exports of butter Were less
10y 100000 pounds than for the CORE
spending period of 1891.
Now as to the prices The exports OF
cattle increased i'm number, but the aver.
age price per head in 1892 was about
sixty-eight dollars and in 1891 about
lightweight dollars, while, notwith-
standing the higher price OF cans. the
price of canned beef remained about tho
same. Sailed meat brought cents ia
1892 and a little more than 5is cents in
1891 Hogs brought $;.52 in 1899 anil
80 in 1894. Fresh meat brought 81
cents in 1892 and sd cents in 1891.
This is the showing made by the Off
cial statistics of the operation of jug
handled reciprocity on the business OF
exporting provisions. IL is noteworthy
fact that The Tribune has finally como
10 the sage conclusion that it was nor
the Mckinley law that was responsible
for the large expectations of hreadstuefs
in 1891, but the large crop at home and
the short crops abroad. It reaches tlse
further conclusion also that the large
crop is accountable for the fall in prices

RECIPROCITY'S WORK
IT HAS CAUSED A DECREASE or
EXPORTS OF FARM PRODUCTS.

Some Figures which Reveal a Startliu,;
Condition from the Standpoint Of tho
AgricuIturists- Reciprocity l. Hollow
Fraud and - sham.
II was Mr.. Blaine's prediction that tho
Mckinley bill would not open market
for single barrel of pork or bushel If
wheat. II has been shown that even
with the reciprocity amendment the
market for breadstuffs is falling off. aud
the same story is true of most Of our
beef and hog products and Of our butter
and cheese.
Not only is reciprocity not helping the
farmer TO larger market. but the nat
ural increase of exports Of his products,
the increase that was going on before
the Mckinley bill was conceived, has
been stopped and decrease has taken
It's place.
The following table shows the growth
in exports Of the principal articles OF
provisions in the twenty years from 1870
To 1890:
Hog products......,..... Sl53oa,GG Ss5.2sllil
Beef products.......... 5,s54,Im m,l5l.G3
Dairy products.....,.,.., R,6lt,s6s l3,uSls5i
After this came the Mckinley act
with its potent reciprocity blessings, aud
with the following results:
1890 1891
Hog products. ......... .SS5,2Sl.t7t Ssia0S sos
Beef products. n,lil,Uid 35,OsS3l5
Dairy products.,......a. l3,0sl,S6 9,sfiiSa
There was falling off in hog and
dairy products. while the increase in the
value of beef products WAS about 50,
GOO, 900 less than was demanded by tho
normal rate of increase prevailing for
the twenty years between 1870 and 1890
This general decline of the business of
exporting provisions continues. Tho
official returns for September are now
before us, and they are anything hut
satisfactory TO the farmer who has been
basing his hopes on the reciprocity pro-
visions of the Mckinley law.

ties of certain dairy beef and hog prod
ucts exported in September, 1891, and

The Rustling Underskirt.

There is no more melodlous sound on
earth to the shell-like ears of the wom-
an of today than the frou. frou of silken
skirts. 1t is as soothing to her senses as
the FLASHING of limpid waters. She is
serge, and during the summer she was
satisfied with cambria or bingham, if
only the petticoat underneath, from
which her little feet peeped in and out,
was composed of the proper material,
which material is taffeta-changeab
striped or even plain. Pinked ruffles are
giving place to flounces of lace, fes-
TONED and caught here and there with
knots of velvet or ribbon.
So widespread is this tendency to rus
tie that the shops are offering petticoats
advertised as rustic skirts" and the
term catches more women in fifteen
minutes than placard bearing the sign
of ''silk petticoats" in letters foot high
would catch in week.
While the rustling craze lasts it is an
excellent opportunity to lay in supply
of white muslin underskirts, which are
bound to return sooner or later, and the
dainty ones, with their frills and en-
broideries, make one wonder if, af err
all, it is not more refined and fitting to
wear pure white underclothing, upon
whose surface every spot can be seen,
and which Can be restored to its original
purity by a flying trip to the laundry.
What would our grandmothers-thos
dear departed dames-have said to our
wearing undergarments which did not
show the dirt?-New York Herald.
