CHICAGO.

The Worlds Fair seems to have left
Chicago in a depressed industrial condl-
tion. The liberal citizens who furnished
the millions which put the fair in motion
are now appealed to for million or SO TO
carry the unemployed through the winter.
The fair brought thousands to Chicago on
a venture who were left at its close with
out either means or work. There Is
proposition to start manufa cturlng enter
prises and run them at loss if need be
to give people employment. 1t is also sug-
gested that men may live on half-tme
work Without doubt men who have
been without work for several weeks will
see way to live on One-half their former
earnings. The expensive habits that nat
urally grew out of liberal wages have been
cured by season of enforced idleness.
The real necessity to bring back good
times is a demand for the products OF our
fields and mills. With consumption at the
normal point production has become ex-
cessive. But with consumption decreased
by the inability of the workers to buy
things they need, the overprOduction
would naturally assume greater proper
tions. Congress may possibly be con-
vincsd that at time when home produc-
tion is greater than home demand, place
should not be made for foreign goods. In
stead of doing less of our own work we
should strive 10 do more.

FLESH AND FOWL.

An Eastern free-trade journal defends
the Wilson tariff bill on the ground that
many of the duties retained in that bill
more than cover the higher cost of Ameri-
can labor. There are articles upon which
the Wilson bill places as high rate of
duty as any protectionist would ask; but
there are other articles equally in need Of
protection that it places on the free list.
The steel-rail manufacturer is fairly well
protected, but the producer of iron ore
has no protection at all. The wool manu-
facturer is cared for, but the woo-gro er
is left TO care for himself. Another great
objection TO the Wilson bill is the change
from specific to ad valorem duties. Under
the latter system no one knows what the
rate of duties will be.

that the easiest way to get two cents a

Unless Los Angeles people are more quick
TO learn than people are in this part of the
State they will continue some months
longer to pay higher price for an inferior
article brought from the East.
