WHY FORK Is G

The New York SIN gives the fol.
lowing logical and satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION Of the present high prices
of pork:
Present high prices for swine re-
suit logically from the cessations o
the corn area that occurred about
the middle of the last decade and
are likely to continue with fuctua-
tions dependent for their range and
duration upon an acreage yield of
corn upon al area constantly d.
minishing, relatively to population
even should such yields oe always
at the maximum ; and such prices
are not likely to be any lower by
reason Of the fact that the swine
supply of thc United Kingdom has
declined more than 25 per cent with
in the past year.
Cheap pork depends upon an in
crease Of the number of pig growers
proportionate to tie increase Of pop
ulation, and the increase Of pig
growers depends upon an increase
of the number of acres of corn,
which seems to be impracticable, or
at least, wholly improbable, and has
not obtained during recent years. 1t
is true that since 1885 additions have
been made TO the number of farms,
but almost wholly in the northwest
ern region where wheat is the one
commercial staple and where swine
production hardly saffices for home
needs. We may, and probably shall
continue to add to the number of
farms in the northwest, but in so do,
ing shall add only to the wheat grow
ers, and,in the JowIs and cities Of tina!
region, to the pig eaters just as in
the last eight years there has been
no a~ppreciable addition to the num-
!, Der Of mig growers, although there
have, IN this period, been no less
than 100000 added to the pis
) eaters; and the result, the inevitable
result, is seen in depleted stocks
ascending prices, decreasing exports
and some addition to an adYerst
balance Of trade.
The folly of the farmers in tn
, South who do not RAISE their owl
. meat is growing mor and NOR,
costly. Unless the production O
pork is increased it's price Will g
; still higher, as the number of cen
: sumers is growing constantly.
Hog and hominy is the sign il
t which the southern farmer ma
s conquer.

HE DID NOT CALL,

The man who tried DR.. Sage's Catarlh
Remedy, and was sure of the $500 re-
ward offered by the proprietors for an
incurable case, never called for his
money. Why not? o, because he got
cured! He was sure of two things; Q)
That his cartarrh could net be cured.
(2) That he would have that $500. He
is now sure of one thing and that is,
that his catarrh is gone completely. So
he is out $500, of course The makers OF
DR.. sage's Catarrh remedy have faith in
their ability to cure the worst cases OF
| Nasal Catarrh, no matter of how long
standing. and attest their faith by their
standing reward of $500, offered fol
many years past, for an incurable case
of this loathsome and dangerous di.
sease. The Remedy is sold by druggist
at only so cents. Mild, soothing
cleansing, deodorizing, a~ntiseptic, anG

Hypocrisy to the Nego.

The arrant hypocrisy of the ats
titude of thu Republican party to-
wards the negro was admirably IL
Illustrated during the recent meets
ing of the Republican League
Convention in Louisville.
While Clarkson was addressing
the League, pleading for Justice
for the negro in the south and
demanding tor him an equal voice
in all political matters, the Repubs
lican National Committee, in ses-
sion a lew blocks away, was doing
its best to deprive the colored Rev
publicans of their representation
in the national councils Of the
party,
C!arkson's speech evoked ems
thusiam among the delegates and
threw the galleries into a wild ups
roar. The effort to choke off the
colored brethren in the committee
provoked a hot fight, in which,
however. the southern Republicans.
who would be affected by the con.
templated change, we're in the nil
nority. The fight came on over g
resolution to fix the representation
of all states in future Republican
conventions on a basis of party
strength instead of two delegates
for ca congressional district, the
idea being to deprive the southern
wing of the party of its preponder-
ance. The matter was finally post
poned until the next meeting Of
the committee, but not until the
discussion had developed a yer,
powerful feeling in favor of tn
change.
These two contradictory posi-
tons are finely illustrative of the
doublesfaced character of the Re
publican professions of love for tn
negro.
