ENGLAND has mortgages Oh Irish
lands to the amount of 100000,
900. AT an average interest Of
five per cent. this would make all
annual tribute of $40,000,000 a
year from the people of the little
island to the English capitalists.
AS the population OF Ireland is but
$5,OO0,OOO, this would make an
annual interest charge of IS per
head, or $40 per family. No won
der the people are poor.

The republicans can win the
presidency without the vote of
New York; the democrats can not.
Hence the hot fight in the demo-
cratic party to control New York
is but an instance of that party's
propensity to hang itself whenever
it has rope enough given it. The
maneuvers of Hill will give the
state to the republicans,

VICE-PREsIDENT MORTON

VIcE-PREsIDENT MORTON has
served notice on whom it may con-
Germ, that he doesn't want the
Minneapolis nomination. 1t is a
curious fact that with one except
ion no vice president has received
a denomination since the method
of naming candidates in conven-
ton was adopted. This exception
was Richard M. Johnson, who was
elected vice president on the Van
Buren, ticket in 1885, and ran with
Van Buren, again in 1910, and
was beaten by Tippecanoe and
Tyler too in that year.

Her father has seminary there
called the Imperial Thug Wen

In the month of December, 1891,
the farmers of this country export
ed barley to the value of $357, ,22S,
as against the value of $2S,21S in
December, 1890; they exported
corn to the value of $500, ,S37, as
against the value of 1861, ,73S; they
exported oats to the value of ST.
|17S,549, as against the value of
$16,9sO, they exported oatmeal
to the value of $36, ,266, as against
the value of 1850; they exported
rye to the value of $9O6,S24, as
against the value of $22,25O; they
exported wheat to the value of
$16,6S6 ,3O1, as against the value
of $4.155,22s; they exported
wheat flour to the value of ST.
|620,737, as against the value of
| |$4,S53,747. Their total sales of
breadstulfs in December, 1891,
amounted to $30,241,S93, as
against $10,126,736; and taking
the whole calendar year of 1891,
their sales of breadstuffs amounted
to $224,319,50o, as against $780,
S45, 1896 in 1890. This enormous
addition to the earnings of the
farmers, amounting to $SS, 100000,
was accomplished under the oper-
alton of a tariff which they were
told by democratic free-traders
would bring about their utter ruin.
1t has been accomplished under
the policies of a party which the
farmers alliance has painted to
them as wholly inimical to theil
interests. 1t may be assumed
that with these $SS,OOO,OOO in
their pockets they will now listen
to free-traders and alliance lectur-
ers with a degree of amusement
only equaled by their contempt.

GA MILLING.

Betting and gambling were de-
nounced by the recent Methodist
Ecumencial Council as the two
great vices of the age, and the
necessity of suppressing them by
vigorous legislation was most
strongly urged. Probably the
worst form of gambling is that of
lotteries, and yet in various forms,
small and great, it fares the best.
A man, who grows purple with
moral indignation over the pres
ence of faro bank, looks lenient-
ly upon the sale of lottery tickets,
which is the very worst form of
gambling. The late Chief Justice
Waite once said on delivering 4
decision of the supreme court of
the United States.
"Experlence has shown that the
common forms of gambling are
comparatively innocuous when
placed in contact with the wide
spread pestilence of lotteries. The
former is confined to a few persons
and places; but the latter infects
the whole community; it enters
every dwelling; it reaches every
class; it preys upon the hard earn
ings Of the poor. and it plumbers
the ignorant and simple" (Stone
VS.. state of Mississippi, II Otto,
814.)
Gambling is the most frightful
vice that preys on human society.
A successful gambler hovers all
his days on that narrow strip of
territory which separates the pro-
fessional gambler and the profes-
sional thief. The gambling-house is
perfect fish-catchery OF criminals.
The stupid victim robs his employ
er, and goes to prison or becomes
a social outcast; the heartless
scoundrel who plucked the silly
pigeon ultimately finds somebody
sharp enough to take his scalp,
and he, too, becomes thief, so
that whether rook or pigeon,
whether you deal or bet, whether
you cheat or get cheated, the pen
itentiary is at last the place where
you survey your contracted empire
and behold your barren home.
1t is a vile, desolating vice, re-
deemed by no cornwall impulse,
relieved by no warmth of ill-regu-
lated affection it is vulgar, greedy,
base, predaceous, dishonest, cold
blood business from the start; it is
born of avarice and Incidence ; it
is the parent of theft; it is base
born in its cradle; il is generally
branded with criminal infamy in its
grave.-Post- -Intelligencer.

SOME doleful people are going
about the country saying that
within the next ten years the
United States will not produce
enough breadstuffs and provisions
to meet the demands of home con-
sumption. They probably do not
know that not half of the lands of
the United States, exclusive of
Alaska, have yet been even sur
veyed, much less settled up. The
surveyed lands in the United
States amount to-day to 2S5,0OO,
600 acres, the unsurveyed to 294,
100000. Substantially all the
surveyed land is arabic, and not
more than half of it is now under
cultivation. Of the unsurveyed
land, at least half is arabic. The
production of the United States
could therefore be, at the lowest
calculation, three times as great
as it is, so that even when we have
200, ,O00,O 900 population we shall be
able to supply ourselves with agri-
cultural provisions and still send
abroad three times as much as we
are sending to-day. Despite the
poor old croakers, there is a lot of
fun to be had in this fine old
country yet.

A Lumberman's Rendezvous.

This term might be applied to
Stevens Point, located on the Wiscon-
sin Central Lines, at the gateway to
the vast forest region which extends
north to Lake Superior, a distance of
900 miles without "a break, on account
of its vast lumber interests. The
Wisconsin river to which the lumber
mel have given the familiar and
somewhat affectionatc title of "Old
Wiscons," not alone acts as Il lumber
rceder to the city by furnishing
through its numerous tributaries an
outlet for thousands of acres of pine
in the upper country, but it furnishes
a water power that is second only to
that of Neenah and Menasha, which
cities + also located OH the Cen
trail Millions of feet of lumber are
cut every year, giving employment to
hundreds of men. In addition to the
lumber trade, it has numerous other
manufactures; it is here where the

BAKING POWDER
In the New York Legislature

The following, taken from "The
Oil. Paint and Drug Reporter" re.
fers to 4 new bill just introduced in
the legislature of New York state:
"The latest development in the
baking powder war. is the introduce
tton of q bill in the legislature of this
state, requiring all packages of bak.
ing powder which contain ammonia,
to he branded with q statement of
that fact ir large type on the label.
Now while the ammonia conten.
ton is on, why cannot the law give
the public the benefit of the doubt!
Wholly appropriated people are GER
tainly not willing to be dosed with
the substance acknowledged rs a
poison, simply because scientists,
some of whom are not even p%hysiolo-
gists, disagree as to its potency"
A similar bill was introduced last
April, but it is shrewdly surmised
that the influence of interested par
ties prevented its passage. The pro.
visions of the present bill are so just
that it probably will soon become a
law.
This will be welcome news to the
manufacturers of pure Cream of
Tartar baking powders, the most
prominent of whom is the Price
Baking Powder Co. of Chicago and
st. Louis, makers of DR.. Prices
Cream Baking Powder, who have
always made a strictly pure Cream Of
Tartar powder, Notwithstanding the
temptations of adulteration suggested
by the enormous profits realized by a
large New York concern which uses
ammonia, and advertises its powder
rs strictly pure, by means of garbled
official reports and certificates signed
by its own employees, dubbed pro-
fessor, doctor or government chemist,
as fancy may dictate.
a bill compelling alum powders to
be conspicuously labelled as such,
already exists in Minnesota and it is
to he hoped in the interest of the
consumer that similar laws will o
be enacted in other states, for ammo.
mia as we'll rs alum.
The following powders known to
contain either ammonia or alum or
both, will he affected by the pro.
posed legislation:
