In I0und fl CURES, sells at less than e5
cents, and, owing to its low price,
many farmers are chopping theirs and
feeding it to cattle. They say that
bran Is cent pound, corn nearly |
cent pound, oats cent d pound and
wheat l cent a pound, and that az
wheat has at least one-third more milk
producing qualities it is cheaper at
present prices to feed it than corn or
anything else. By actual test it was
learned that sixty pounds OF wheat
made more milk and of better quality
than the same quantity Of corn, or al-
most any other class of feed, and 1t is
stated that since Schuylkill Valley

cows their milk is pronouneed Uf a
higher standard OF excellence. Farm
ers say that they cannot afford to raise
wheat for flour making purposes unless
they get 80 cents to 81 a bushel.

Buyers and the TariH.

Tho New York Telegram, which is
not q Republican newspaper and IL not
pre- JUDGED IN favor Of the protective
tariff, recently made this statement:
"The retail department OF the city Is
as fascinating as visit to fairyland.
There is hardly quarter OF the globe
that has not contributed to the wonder
full show in our shop windows, and tho
chances are that a given article can be
bought at cheaper price than Is asked
In London, Paris, and Berlin. There
can be NJ doubt that this Is true, but
that being the case why should lntelii-
gent persons demand change In q
tariff system which has given such sat
isfactory results? 1t Is admitted that
in no city in the world can better va
riety of goods be found than III New
York and that they can be bought at
lower prices than in any foreign city:
1t is also admitted that the present
tariff system tends to keep wages high
and that the changes proposed III the
Wilson bill would reduce wages. With
tariff that gives low prices for goods
and high prices for labor, why should
any one desire change? Working
men are asking themselves this ques-
ton. If tley decide that they were
more prosperous before the Mckinley
bill was threatened then they can hope
t. be if the Wilson bill become a law,
let them protest against the proposed
revision

Mrs. Franks Mistake.

AS Mrs. Frank, surrounded by her
household goods, sat on the sidewalk in
front of the house from which she had
been evicted for nonpayment of rent,
she remarked plaintively that had she
preached less and attended to house
hold duties more" she would not be in
her present fix, or, in other words, ''this
is the result of too much Christianity"
She should have said passive and false
Christianity, for it has passed into a
proverb that God helps those who help
themselves" Mrs Weller, the elder.
saw her mistake little too late, though
she was brave enough to confess to the
redoubtable Tony that running after the
red nosed Preacher Stiggins was neg
lect of the marriage contract. The sort
of Christianity that drives a man away
from home, breaks up family and leads
to shiftlessness is not the Christianity
expounded in the able eHistles of ST.
Paul
Opposed to the turbulent experience of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank was the life of Mr..
and Mrs. Opp, who, after 81 years of
married life, died on the same day. This
is one of the pretty stories that sometimes
creep into print, illustrating happy exit
that every young couple would pray for
New York World.

A Chicago View Of the Naval Display.

"A Cn1c0GO view Oh the Naval O1bpA6ys
New York has celebrated. In q driz-
Eling rain, under soggy awnings, with
flags clinging dismally to their staffs
and with the red on cheap printed cot
ton running in CORY stripes across wide
expanses of dirty white into fields Of
grimy blue many thousand inhabitants
of New York have stood for day on
sinking wharves to view the maneuvers
of few ships of war and few excur-
sion boats monopolized by millionaires
and exclusive society people.
The vessels thus under survey by the
assembled toads of New York were from
one to two miles from shore, which is
about as near as the mob in New York
ever gets to any scene of Importance,
whether it be a wedding or naval re-
view.
They were such vessels as may be seen
at almost any time III almost any port in
the world. Most of them have been seen
in New York harbor before now, but on
this occasion New York, big with expec-
tation and self consciousness, imagined
that it was celebrating; that in some
manner it was putting an extinguisher
upon Chicago; that in few dreary
hours of rain and fog and powder smoke
along the Shiny docks of the North river
the majestic festivities of the entire Co
lumbar year were to have their begin
ming and their ending, and that when
New York's celebration had closed moth
ing would remain deserving the atten-
ton of mankind. Probably the world
never saw and never again will see SO
colossal and yet SO pitiful an exhibition
of impudence. ignorance and folly.-Chi-

SAILORS COMING.
Reported Coup by the
Ship=Owners.
Seven Hundred Non-Union Men From
the East-The Union Discred-
its the Story.

One Of the heads Of the Coast Shipping
Association at Spear street announces that
certain carefully arranged plans of the
Ship-owners' A ssociation have been crowned
with success at last. and in consequence
from 800 to 700 nou-union sailors will reach
this city within week.
If the report be true, these men will come
from many parts of the East, it is said. and
have been quietly collected and hired by
agents of the association in New York.
"These men," said the shipper, twill for
the greater part be able, experienced sailors.
Almost every prominent city of the East
has been canvassed. They will be taken
care of when they arrive. and kept in readi-
ness to supply the large ana constantly IN
creasng orders for non-union sailors.
i am satisfied this big move of ours will
effectively do away with continual despr-
tons, aud place this shipping Office and the
Ship-Owners' Association on a sure, firm
footlng."
W. j. B. Mackay, editor Of the Coast Sea-
mems Journal. in conversation on the move
of the association said:
L have little confidence in it. II does
not seem likely to me hat 100 sailors are to
be brought from the East fer any such pur-
pose.
In the first place consider what an ex-
pensive piece o work il is. Seven hundred
men could not be transported across the
continent for less than $4,000, for thew
would have to be fed all the time.
And after they will have reached Sau
Francisco they must be supported at the
associations expense until they are shipped
Boarding houses for sailors don't charge
very much, but multiply that little by 700
and it results in formidable figure.
Besides, what possible pretext can they
have for bringing out so many men. There
Is not so big demand for non-uniOn sailors
as all that.
''As far as the union is concerned It will
not make much difference, anyhow. II will
do the non-uuiOn people little good for the
men will desert-that is invariably the case
Il must confess it is brand new infnrma-
ton to me-, but am surprised rather than
startled. The good sailor is always worth
his price. and NEST of the good sailors are
with u.s."
From subsequent inquiries on the front it
became evident that few, if any, seamen at
this port are prepared for such move on
the part If the non-unioa fnrces, and if the
700 d. advance upon San Francisco within
the week 4 series Of brilliant maneuyers will
