Where will be our greatest city?
In all probability Chicago. There will
be wonderful cities in the west, none more
beautiful and extensive than Salt Lake
City: but unless all signs fail Chicago will
take precedence.

All depends on our women. Ii they marry

spect and respect for authority, Americans
of 1893 will regard their ancestors of 1893 as
little less than vulgar, ignorant heathens.
What is the future of the servant prob

Again, all depends on women. When
they know their own business and learn the
meaning of Christianity there will be no
servant problem.

Once more the question must be settled
by women. Should American women do
their own thinking in the next hundred
years they will not import their fashions,
and they will wear nothing that interferes
with a magnificent physical development.
Trains will be reserved for the house; cor

Is the condition of the laboring class

There has been steady improvement in
the condition of what is falsely called the
"laboring class" as though no one worked

that the brain worker will be as well paid
in 1893 as will be the manual laborer, who
is fast controlling the fates of this republic
and reducing human capacity to a dead
level of mediocrity. All men should be
born free, but all men are not born equal,
trades. unions to the contrary. There always
have been, as there always will be, leaders.

So called temperance legislation is tenn

Reasons Why Horses are Cheap.

Horses are now selling at aston
ishingly low prices. There appears
90 be almost no demand for farm
horses, and the prices for carriage
horses are correspondingly low. At
the Tattersall sales recently prices
ran from Sl.jG TO $50, and it was
hard 90 dispose OF them for any
price & West Chester gentleman
stated thi5 morning that he knew a
horse TO sell for $50 recently that
$3.50 was refused for last spring.
The owner would not sell last spring
because he wanted the horse to do
his farm work, but having finished
that for this year he sent the horse
to Philadelphia. 1t was in good
condition, aud III itself as valuable
as II was last spring. but at public
sale it brought only the price nam
ed $50.
There are several reasons given
for the low prices, all of which may
have something to do with the
market. One is that the introduc.
tion of electric railways in small
towns Is leading TO the use of the
ears more and horses less by private
families, and hence driving horses
are placed upon the market. The
street car companies of Philadelphia
are introducing the electric cars in-
stead of horse cars and are ceasing
to buy horses, whereas they were
heavy buyers in former years.
Many persons are purchasing bi-
cycles instead of horses, and this
substitute of the wheel for the horse
Is becoming more and more cola.
mon with professional and business
men.
Latterlv too the farmers have
learned to calculate what it costs to
winter Il horse, and they will only
buy horse this time of year when
they can procure him for a price
which.togethcr with his keeping and
the expense of taking care of him
through the winter, will not amount
TO more than ho would cost in the
market of the First Of April. These
are among the reasons given for low
priced horses now. AID the ever
ready reason that hard times aud Il
scarcity Of ready money compelling
men to sell aggravates the situation.
