THE LOSS TO LABOR.

The American Economist has received
replies from manufacturers resident in
thirty-nine states and territories in re-
Spouse to its circular Of inquiry as to the
number of people employed, the rates of
wages paid, and the output of factories
during the periods between January and
June, 1892, and the corresponding
months of 1894. The showing made by
800 reports is that there has been q de-
crease of 80 per cent in the number OF
persons employed, Of As per 9 in the
amount of wages paid, and Of A per cent
in the output Of factories.
The figures may be tabulated thus:
Jan. to June, Jan. to June.
Same industries. 1882. 1894.
Hands employed...... 90 $50 SO 06O
Wages paid S17,479,Ss7 $s,61l, 6S4
Output of factories. 100 per cent 56 per cent.
This is a decrease of Q 7,s6s,00O l n the
amount of wages paid, by 800 manufac-
turing, concerns during the first half Of
this year, as compared to the first half
of ls92-the Mckinley year, in which we
were unusually prosperous, bnt in which
the democratic press protested that we
were going headlong to poverty and de-
struction. Ii. as is probable, the reduc-
tioa of wages and outputs in all the
factories in the union were in proportion
to that OF the 800 that make answer to
the Economists inquiries, the purchas.
ing power of the people must have been
reduced by hundreds Of millions Of dol
lars under the administration OF demo-
cratic policy.
1t is quite susceptible of. proof that
such reduction has been effected. The
year 1892, or the first half of it, was a
period of universal prosperity, and it
may be unfair TO contrast present condi-
tons with it. But 1890 was an average
year, and the census reports show AGO.
600 persons employed in all kinds OF
manufactures, and the wages earned by
them amounted to O. ,2S5,s23,265 Now
q 45 per cent reduction from this wage
fund means q decrease of more than q
billion OF dollars in the wage fund of the
country. .r*rs -
We might enlarge on the future i'm.
poyerishment by. decrease Of the value oil
material used in manufactures, which
was estimated at five billion dollars il
1890, and at three billion in 1904. But
the shrinkage Of the wage fund is il
itself sufficient to account for the hare
times through which we are passing, and
from which we cannot hope wholly Il
escape until a return to q policy OF pro
lection secure o return.

Capt. Humphrey has sold the Faulk-
ton Times and will betake himself to
other fields. The Captains political ex-
perience since he was outgeneraled by
Major Picker for congress from that
part of the state, has been anything but
pleasant. He took the matter too much
to heart and though a gallant soldier
and loyal republican, he had become
hypercritical of things in his W party.
A change of scene will be a great relief
to the Captain and we wish him a large
measure of success in any new field be
may enter.

Rapid City Journal, IL: Kirk G.
Phillips, republican candidate for state
treasurer, came down from Deadwood
last evening and will to-day visit with
numerous friends in the city. DIR. Phil
lips states that he has received most
f~iattering reports from the eastern part
of the state and that the prospects are
very bright for the state ticket receiving
fully double the vote received two years
ago. Mr.. Phillips will make a canvass
of the Hills for the state ticket prior to
making a trip to the eastern portion OF
the state.

Congressman Wilson's London speech

Congressman Wilson's London speech
has been suppressed SO far as democratic
money can accomplish that result. All
copies of the American edition Of the
London Times containing the speech
have been bought up and destroyed.
The news stands and the clipping bu-
reaus have alike been raided and the
paper has 80 nearly disappeared that an
occasional obtainable copy, like q a
coin, sells for an e~xtrayagant price.

Anxiety is the poison Of human life.
Il is the parent OF many sims and OF
more miseries. In q world where every
thing is doubtful, where Won may be
disappointed and be blessed In disap-

stir and commotion OF mind? Can your
solicitude alter the cause or unravel

A farmers Experiment.

A correspondent of North Caro-
lima paper gives the following account
of his experiment in planting corn !:
I want to give the farmers the benefit
of a little experiment that l made
with guano last spring on corn. The
land was checked four feet one way
three and one-half the other. used
one sack putting it in the check on
every other row till it gave out. l
had 46 rows with guano by tie side Of
48 rows without. In two weeks after
the corn came up the fertilized rows
began to show, and by the first Of
June they were foot higher than the
one by their side. I gathered two
rows and weighed one row of each.
The row with no guano weighed GIL
pounds the one with 862 pounds, a
gain of 25 pounds to the row, and in At
rows [ made l ,224 pounds or l73 bush
els of corn more by using one sack of
guano. Counting the guano at $3.50
and the corn at SO cents, [ have a
clear profit of $6.25. I also tried the
difference between two stalks in a hill
and one. The rows without guano
side by side one stalk weighed GIL
pounds and the other with two to the
hill weighed 731 pounds. With guano
the single row weighed 869 with two
stalks 944 pounds. You will see tn at
the rows with two stalks weighed a
few pounds the most, but in the single
rows I had just half the number Of
ears and the corn was worth more than
the corn in the double rows. 1t pays
to thin well.

Rare Presence of Mind.

II knew sea captain, who died
some years ago, who displayed great
presence of mind at a most critical
time" said Henry S. Roberts, of Bos-
ton. "His ship had caught fire and
the passengers and crew were COM
PEELED to take to the boats in a hurry.
The captain remained perfectly cool
throughout all the confusion and
fright of the embarkation, and at last
every one but himself was got safely
into the boats. By the time he was
ready to follow the passengers were
wild with fear and excitement. In
stead of hurrying down the ladder the
captain called out to the sailors to
hold on minute, and taking cigar
from his pocket, coolly bit the end off
and lighted it with piece of the
burning rigging. Then he descended
with great deliberation and gave the
order to shove off. How could you
stop to light cigar at such a mo-
ment p he was afterwards asked by
one of the passengers. Because he
answered, 4 saw that if I did not do
something to divert your minds there
would be panic and upset the boats.
The lighting of cigar took but mo-
ment and attracted the attention of
everybody; you all forgot yourselves
in thinking about my curious behavior
and we got safely away. ST. Louis

a. Revolutionary Heroine.

One of the most heroic actions in
the history of the Revolutionary times
was that Of Marion Gibbs, thirteen
year-old girl, who lived on planta-
tion near Charleston, in the State Of
South Carolina. Marion's father had
been brave soldier in the Continen-
tai army, and been horribly wounded
by a cannon ball, which left him a
cripple for life.
Shortly after the invasion Of Char
lesion, the British soldiers under
Colonel Tarleton ravaged the sur
rounding country, stealing the horses
of the planters, and setting fire to
their barns and homes. One morning
while Marion was busily employed
with her spinning wheel, one Of the
plantation slaves made his appearance
in the room where the young house
keeper was at work, and in great ex-
citement begged his mistress to hurry
to the swamp as the English soldiers
were nearing the house, adding that
they had already fred some of the
buildings and shot several of the ne
groes who attempted to escape.
Hastily summoning the servants,
Marion had her father and the chill
dren conveyed to hiding place in the
swamp but short distance away, and
directed the negro nurse to get the
baby, and join them while she should
get together few needed articles. As
soon as the red coats Of the soldiers
were observed approaching through
the orchard, Marion slipped out Of the
rear door and sped away to the retreat
provided for this emergency.
Upon joining the frightened group
our little heroine discovered that the
nurse and the baby lad not been seen
by any one in the party. Without ut
tering wcrd she darted back along
the intricate path that led through the
lonely morass, fear and distress
adding wings to her feet. Upon
emerging from the gloomy forest she
beheld the house in flames, and sur
rounded by soldiers, while flying to-
wards. her and wringing her hands in
agony came Aunt Dinah, who sobbed
out:
"Honey, honey is you not got de
baby? Aunt Dinah jes stop one min
ute ter go ter de wash-house for de
baby's clothes an when she 60 back
de house all on fire Oh tell me,
honey is you got de baby 2"
The next moment little form
flashed between the ranks Of the dra-
goons, and disappeared within the
structure, from which greedy tongues
Of flames were spitefully thrust out of
doors and windows, accompanied by
rolling volumes of black smoke. Be.
fore the startled soldiers had finished
their cries of CONSERVATION, Marion
reappeared, bearing in her burnt,
brave little arms white bundle, from
which a child's frightened cry was
heard as the heroic girl once more
rushed away in the direction of
the swamp. Instead of impeding her
fight, the English soldiers swung
their hats and cheered her until the
dark forest hid her from their view
