country, until it has become more than
sufficient to meet the demands re-
duced b. reason Of the loss Of revenue
suffered BY the greatest body Of work
ers In the country.
The nation is likely never again toS
have its economic conditions hidden BY
a factitious prosperity growing out Of
great railway constructions as sucf
operations are no longer possible, there
being no region, except very limited
Southern areas, where expenditures
could be made to appear as promising
returns to tempt the possessors Of avail
able funds.
For more than fifteen years, 1878 to
1893, all the great primary agricultural
staples have been declining in price.
although there have been periods when
1.-The price of some one was high for a
limited time. This is more notably
| true as respects secondary products,
especially meats and lard; but the
trend of the whole scale has been con
stantly downward. and the general
price level at the end Of each year was
lower than at its beginning. In the
mean time, there has been no material
reduction in the cost of production,
I the self-binder, the gang plough,
mower, hay tedder and hay loader, and
all other great improvements in agri-
cultural machinery, having come into
use prior to 1878. Subsequent modifi-
cations and improvements have been in
the direction of greater facility in
operation rather than of lessened cost.
While it is true that there has been a
material reduction in the cost of farm
ing implements, such reduction has not
always resulted in lessening the cost Of
production on the farm, as new mach
ines have often displaced those which
were but partially worn and which
were quite as efficient. 1t is probable
that upon farms large enough to war
rant the purchase of full lines of i'm
proved machinery. the cost OF produc-
tion has thereby been lessened ten per
cent; but sach farms constituting less
than FIVE per cent. of the whole area
under cultivation, the aggregate saving
from such economies has been slight,
and has probably been fully offset by
the progressively increasing use Of
commercial fertilizers, which has been
found necessaryAin all the region east
Of the Mississippi; not to increase the
fertility of the land, but simply to
prevent further deterioration.
While the cost of production cannot
have been lessened as much as five per
cent. since 1875, prices for the staple
products Of the farm averaged 50 per
cent. greater during the five years end
ing with 1875 than now. This is
especially true as respects the five
staples: corn, wheat, oats, hay, and
cotton, which employ 195, 900, 600 out
Of the 2O6, ,00O, ,060 acres now devoted
to staple crops.
The following table shows, in five
year averages. the gold value per acre
lin the local firm markets. Of the pro-
duct Of The FIVE staples named, for
quinquennial periods, since 1865, and

yields, of au acre under each such sts-
pie in 1893 at present prices:

DEAR SIR-I give you below memo

Especial Chicago Correspondence


There never was a queerer lot of
buildings gotten together than are 20
be seen in the Columbian metropolis at
jackson park. Scattered throughout
the grounds are all the different styles
of architecture of every race of people
on the globe, from the bush hut of the
Australian ranger to the palace of the
American millionaire.
A study of the primitive structures of
the savages of far distant islands of the
great oceans is afforded the people Of
the big cities of civilization, who but
for this grand fair would have had no
knowledge of them save that CLEANED
from books of travel. There is also an
excellent opportunity to become &C
quainted with the and customs
of the strange races of the earth in
their everyday life at the fair, for
everything is just as it is in their native
villages beyond the big waters.
In the fair grounds proper there are
the E~squimaux, the cliff jewellers of
the southwest and the a~borigines of
the eastern states. These are domi-
ciled each colony by itself in dwellings
fashioned after those of their native
habitations, conforming as neal as pos

IN their %leisurely fashion they finally
accomplished it, and are nov quite
comfortable and contented in their
little dove-cotes Of houses.
Nearly as odd as the houses of the
diminutive Javanese arc the huts of the
Fijians, close by on the opposite side of
the Plaisance. Strongly resembling
scooped-out straw stacks of an ancient
date, they nevertheless afford the in
habitants ample protection from all
kinds Of weather. This is all that is
required of them. as the highest con-
ception of comfort of which these peo-
pie are capable is a full stomach and a
place to crawl into and sleep.
We might go on and enumerate the
different styles of architecture in vogue
among the civilized nations, but lack
of space will not permit. Suffice it to
say that there is hardly characteristic
architecture in the world that is not
represented in our great White City.
And not only the buildings are shown,
but the ninutest details of everyday
life are faithfully portrayed, 50 that a
few hours spent among the villages of
the fair will afford about as much
k~nowledge-of the different countries as
would a complete tour of the world.

In their native state, are compelled to
lead 2 counterfeit existence in q
huge heap of tin fashioned as nearly
like a miniature mountain as the r
penters and timers of the fair could
make it.
Then there are the various tribes of
eastern Indians in their make-believe
tepees W. on the lake front. Here
there is a more faithful representation
of natural conditions than is to be found
in either of the other colonies.
But for the genuine article of print
tive architecture the Midway Plaisance
must be sought. Here are the Lapland-
ers, South Sea islanders, Javanese. Da-
homeyans, all of whom hold forth in
villages composed of houses fashioned
after the ones they live in when at
home in their W countries.
More picturesque and airy than the
rest are, possibly, the diminutive dwell
ings of the Javanese. Constructed
wholly of bamboo and mating made of
bamboo splints. they are the perfection
