The Review OF Reviews for September
Is number OF fineivarlety and timeliness.
1t epitomizes and synchronizes the whole
planet for the month of August, 1898. It
discusses the monetary crisis, the silver
debate, the tariff outlook, the Boring Sea
decision, the French attaclron Siam, the
progress OF the Home Rule bill, the pol
itics OF European continent, various mat
tiers at Chicago and the Worlds Fair and
a hundred other timely subjects, the
whole number being profusely illustrated
with portraits and pictures. A sketch Of
Engineer Ferris and his great wheel is q
singularly readable and attractive article,
and Mr.. Stead contributes most note
worthy character sketch of Lady Henry
Somerset. There Is an illustrated review
OF the fascinating story OF Joan Of Arc,
the inspired Maid OF Orleans and group
OF papers on the silver question by pro-
fessors In the University OF Chicago. The
Leading Articles of the Month" are not
ably well selected, while the Record of
Current Events" gives one summary
day by day Of the remarkable course OF
the recent monetary crisis, and the car
toon reproductions in the Current His
tory In Caricature" are uncommonly en-
PERTAINING.

From all over the land has come
the cry that harvest hands are
scarce. In many sections old men,
women and children were called
upon to help gather the crops be-
cause able-bodied laboring men
were not to be had. This is state
of affairs which should not exist
when there are so many working
men idle. Instead of the distribu-
ton Of labor which should exist in
a country of our vast extent and
varied resources, this class Of popu-
lation is largely congestive in our
great cities and manufacturing CEN
tiers. 1t is among the evils FOSTER
ed by protective system which at
tracts capital to the field where it
is favored, starts the enterprises
which employ labor, stimulates
production beyond the demands of
consumption and, when orders cease
to come in, throws hundreds and
thousands out of employment

Economy in Fashionable Dressmaking.

Though passing through commercial
crisis Of unusual intensity, we may safely
count on O natural reaction at not far
distant day, for the unlimitless resources
of the great country are bound to bring
good times back again. AS long, however,
as the financial uncertainty lasts, many a
woman will feel that she must curtail In
some degree, the expenses Of her ward
robe. Now is the time to subscribe to
flrst-class fashion magazine, which will
not only illustrate the current styles, but,
at the same time, teach how to make
them by means of series OF practical
lessons. This is most judicious econo-
my which can be accomplished without
any perceptible change In ones mode OF
dressing, and without consequently at
tracing the critical notice of ones neigh
bors. The Mcdowell Fashion Journals
are calculated TO I'LL this need. They are
the finest publications Of their kind In
either Paris or New York, and contain,
precisely, q series OF lessons teaching
practical dressmaking. Ladies as we'll as
dressmakers, will find still further adj
vantage In them, for Messrs. A. McDo-
we'll q Co. reproduce any Of their Illus
trations Cor indeed, for that matter, any
design clipped from any other fashion
journaD In the form Iof made up paper
fiat patterns besides, exact
ly representing every detail Of the origi-
nal. This reduces artistic dressmaking
to the easiest and simplest method. The

The CITY Highway Fund.

The issuing of an injunction, re-
straining the drawing of any more
orders on the highway fund of the
city, has led to a good deal of talk,
and also to investigation, and has
resulted in finding that the high
way appropriation for 1903 is not
overdrawn, as reported.
On March the 1st this year, the
highway fund appropriated in 1892,
had been overdrawn $16,970.64,
which it is claimed, should be paid
from the contingent fund. The
appropriation this year, for high
way purposes, was $4,000, and on
June 1st, the amount drawn against
this fund was 81 ,9OO.7O, leaving a
balance of $11, $1,000; and on July
LIST, the report shows that $4,6S5.5O
had been paid out, and the balance
remaining was $9,214.50. On Aug.
LIST the report made it appear that
the fund was overdrawn $1,325.67,
which, if correct, would indicate
that Sl0,540.17 in highway orders
had been drawn during the month
of July. But we are pleased to
find that there was an error in the
report, and that instead of the fund
being overdrawn, there was yet at
that time in the neighborhood Of
$1,000 remaining in the highway
fund, from the amount appropriate
ed this year, so that fund is not at as
low an ebb as was made to appear.
But at the same time the amount
now on hand is not sufficiently
large to allow of any very extensive
work to be undertaken. if the coun-
Gil desire to keep within the limit.

Money to Move the Crops.

The fear that a lack of money
would prevent free movement of
the crops in the next two or three
months has now subsidized. Money
is now growing more plentiful in
the business centers, and bankers
feel confident that by the time the
season for the crop movement fair
ly opens an abundance Of cash for
all ordinary purposes will be on
hand. Since August began fully
$50, 100000 has been added to the
country's available cash by gold i'm
portation. and an increase in national
bank circulation, and the expansion
from these sources will undoubted-
ly be kept up for while yet. St
louis Globe-Democrat.
While the above is true in sense
that the good effects Of moving the
crops will help the general business
of the country and stimulate conf
dence, restoring a feeling Of ease
among commercial communities,
yet there is one very important step
to be accomplished that will, local
ly, do much to enhance trade and
be instrumental in increasing bust
ness, starting up the industries of
the country, and thereby giving
employment to thousands. If peo-
pie will only come to their senses
and return to the banks the thou
sands of dollars withdrawn without
any apparent reason, it will be a
wise move for the betterment Of the
situation. The business interests Of
the nation needs the currency to do
business with. While people have
this money put away in old stock
ings and bureau drawers, it is doing
nobody any good, and is simply a
boon to the hght-ingered gentry.
Many an institution has closed on
account of its inability to procure
currency to pay men. Will the
good people Of the country regain
their senses and do their duty in
this direction, helping all, and as
sisting materially in bringing busi-
ness back to it's normal, prosperous
condition?
Put your money back in the
banks. where it will help others and
at the same time help yourselves.

1t is only a question of time when
broad wagon tires will be seen on
all our wagons employed for haul
ing merchandise and freight, the
same as may be seen in all the cap
itals of Europe. The Ontario de-
partment of Agriculture has sent
out a valuable special report, or
bulletin, setting forth the treatment
necessary to make, as well as to
maintain, good roads. The report
says the repairing of roads once a
year (the usual PLAN is wrong in
principle, as almost always it is
done in the spring, the good effects
disappearing before the time for
fall and winter travel sets in. The
report strongly commends the
movement in favor of wide tires
for draft vehicles. 1t says it has
been proved by repeated expert
ments that wheels with tires two
and one-half inches wide cause
double the wear of wheels which
have four and one-half inch tires.
The wide tire has tendency to roll
the roadbed and keep it smooth at
the same time, while the narrow
one cuts it up and requires more
hauling force for the same weight
of load, besides spelling the thor
oughfare. Most of the European
countries have laws regulating this
matter.

Last year, during the campaign,
the Republican organette of this
city raised a great cry about state
taxes, and said that Democracy
comes high" 1t gave the amount
of state tax for this county for
1890 at S4,678, under Republican
administration, and 1885 for 1892,
under Democratic control. But we
doubt if the Pioneer will have the
courage to tell it's farmer readers
this year, that on the face of the
returns, thus far received, it ap-
pears that "Republicanism comes
high" as the state tax for
Alpena county for this year, under
the boosted economical Republican
control of the state, is $10,254, the
highest state tax this county has
ever been called upon to pay. Pho
