mild estimate as compared with the figures
given bysome Of the commercial agencies, the
laborers have lost, at the rate Of $Si54 a
year, the enormous sum of s24s, 900, 600, not
Including the loss of those whose employ
ment has continued at reduced wages.
This is terrific loss for any class of peo-
pie to suffer, but laborers in particular, and
it is not matter for wonder that the work
ingmen of this country look with longing
eyes to the last half of the closing year OF
President Harrison's administration, when
they were enjoying unparalleled prosperity.
In the light Of these facts it is not necessary
to inquire why laborers are going into the

The Sugar Bounty Doomed,

1t is very evident that whatever else may
come the sugar bounty must go. A large
number of democrats outside of the South
eru sugar States have from the very outset
been bitterly opposed to bounties in general,
and to the sugar bounty in particular. That
bounty is associated with one of the most
helpful pieces of legislation that stand to
the credit of the republican party, so far as
the poor man is concerned, namely, this re
moval of the duty on sugar, and they are
determined that it shall be wiped out utter
ly. The concessions which have been made
to the sugar trust have given now impetus
to the hostility of the opponents OF the sugar
bounty, and the chances ara that it will be
abolished forthwith.
There is a project on foot in Washington,
according to good authority, to attach a
rider to the legislative and judicial appro-
priation bill providing for the repeal of the
sugar b0unty. but the opponents of the
sugar bounty hesitate to do this through fear
that it will Indicate suspicion that the
tariff bill will fail to pass. II would be pos
sible for these anti.bounty men to accom-
plish their end ny attacking the appropris-
ton from which the sugar bounty is paid,
but it does not appear in any OF the annual
appropriations and as matter of fact the
sugar bounty is permanent appropriation
which it is difficult for the present Congress
to reach
The threat mas been made by democratic
| congressman that if the sugar bounty is con
| tanned in the tariff bill as it comes from the
| Senate the House will reach it by special
bill, or a repeal rider will be attached to
any other important bill that promises to dc
| its work the quickest. There seems to be a
great variety of opinions as to the most ready
| means of repeating the bounty, but the SEN
timent is plainly so strong against it among
the democratic members Of the House that
it will have to go, no matter what DISPOSE
ton is made of the tariff bill.

In our Geographic columns will be found a
dispatch stating that Congressman Powers
has introduced bill in the House which
provides for an investigation as to the feast
bility of constructing Il ship canal from the
Great Lakes to the navigable waters of the
Hudson, and authorizes the secretary OF war
to have a survey of the route made, and an
estimate of the cost of construction given.
The Importance of this measure is not easily
estimated, and it is gratifying to know that
steps are being taken TO place the matter
before the public in such a way that prac-
teal Judgment can be passed upon it.
Everyone will at once think of the impor-
lance Of this project as alfording naval de-
fence to the States contiguous to the Great
Lakes, but its greatest value will be derived
from the commercial advantages to be gained
by the vast section Of country that will
contribute to the traffic on such a
route The possibility of a war between
this country and England is very remote in
deed. There are various strategical reasons
which would lead Great Britain TO think not
only twice but great number of times be-
fore engaging in war with the United
States. 1t would be another war across
great ocean for England, and if u few thou
sands of our forefathers could defy Great
Britain successfully when our republic was
young and struggling country, what chance
Of success would John Bull have of wallop-
ing Uncle Sam with the vast resources
which we have at our command at the pres
ent time? Moreover, the certain outcome
of such contest would be Englaud's loss of
Canada The English statesmen know this,
and, while they must put ON bold face
when negotiating with tho United States.
they know in their hearts that they could
not afford to 90 to war with this country
IT, however, any such emergency should
arise it would be much easier and more eco
nomical for the United States to obstrucu
the st. Lawrence where onr territory Dor
ders on that stream than it would to build
a ship canal across the Empire State, and
so far as the Great Lakes are concerned we
would then have an advantage over Great
Britain, Moreover, international arbitrary
ton is likely to settle all future controvers.
between Great Britain and the United
States, The probabilities are, therefore,
that this country will not need ship canal
for mere purposes of defence.
The question then arises as to which will
be the more feasible route, that across the
Empire State or that by the st. Lawrence
and Lake Champlain. With the exception
of comparatively short distance be-
tween the head waters of Lake Cham
plain and the Hudson, the latter route
would be over a natural waterway, which
would require deepening in only few
places. A glance at the map will show that

The New York State Board of Health
has just issued an important circular of in
formation for prevention of tuberculosis
Tho Vermont Board did 50 several years ago
bur the Empire state goe, further and an
nounceS that hereafter local health officers
will register names, address. age and sex Of
every person suffering from tuberculosis
consumption, within their respective iyris-
dictiono. and that active measures will be
taken TO prevent the spread of this disease
which is beyond question infectious. The
most important point in the circular and
one to which great emphasis is given, is
that this disease j, communicated through
deadly germs, coughcd up by the patient
and that i'll all cases this matter should be at

The women Of Kentucky ARE circulating a
petition to Congress to impeach Congress
man Breckenridge, on the ground that his
presence in Congress is dishonor to the
womanhood of his State If the women of
Kentucky who have been imposed upon will
close the doors Of their drawing rooms upon
the society of BreckinridgeS, it viii not be
necessary for them to go through the depths
encing as a result of this scandal. When
the women of this country treat libertine

One of the most encouraging features of
the financial situation is the large foreign
purchases of American securities 1t is es-
timated that over 80, 600 shares of stock
were purchased in New York for the Lon
don account last week. The foreign pur-
chase Of American securities, contrasted, as
it is, with no active home movement in the
same direction, suggests the belief that the
foreign investors are far enough removed
from our affairs to get clearer view Of the
business outlook here than we are able to do
with our vision directed closely to the direc-
ton Of our individual business If this is
the case it is encouraging for those who
helped Mr.. Cleveland TO decide to veto the

Judging from the returns of the election
in Berwickshire and Montgomeryshire, the
outlook for the liberal party in England is

their candidates in both places by reduced

the conservatives gained POI. In Montgom-

Othet cheap articles for fattening are oat
meal and treacle, barley meal and milk,

In all temperate climates the apple
grows freely, aud might be obtained In
practically unlimited quantities. That II
is not more used than it is is probably
due to the fact that, being so plenty. it is
underyalued Yet almost every one likes
the fruit in some fashion, and it should
form part of at least two meals out OF
every three during the year round for
even when the fresh fruit is not in season,
canned, dried, or "eVaporatedH apples
may always be had.
Chemically says a writer in the
North American Practitioner. "the apple
i, composed of vegetable fibre, albumen,
sugar gum, chlorophyl maic acid. gallo
acid, lime, and water. Furthermore, the
German analysts say that the apple con-
tains a larger percentage Of phosphorus
than any other fruit or vegetable. The
phosphorus is admirably adapte for
renewing the essential nervous matter
lecithin- of the brain and spinal cord,
1t is pei haps for this reason-though but
rudely understood the old Scandl-
nayan traditions represent the apple as
the food of the gods, who when they felt
themselves to be growing feeble and in
firm resorted to this fruit to renew their
powers tf mind and body
Not only the phosphorus, but the acids
of the apple are of singular use for persons
of sedentary habits, whose livers are apt
10 be too slow of action. These acids aid
the liver in its work of eliminating from
the body the noxious matters, which, if
retained, would make the brain heavy
and dull, or in time, would cause rheu-
matsm, aundice, or skin eruptions, and
other allied troubles.
The malc acid of apples, either raw or
cooked, will neutralize any excess of
chalky matter engendered by eating too
much meat.
Ripe apples are probably the least fer
mentable of all fruits. except possibly the
banana. For this reason ripe and sound
apples may be eaten by most persons in
even the hottest weather; but even the
apple is safest when cooked.
We have the support of eminent medi-
cal authority in sayrg that the most
healthiul way 10 cook apples is to pare
and core them, and bake in moderate
oven. If the apple is of quite sour
variety it may be necessary to add little
sugar, putting about saltspoonful in the
hollow whence the core was extracted.
The next best way to cook them is stew
ing. Contrary to common belief, apples
baked in their skins are the least health
full of cooked apples. -UdPe2''S Basay
