uced that pork was the most expensive
purchase, but that was because it was
just then especially high; ordinarily
it can be bought in the rough for nearly
half the price paid.
The variety in food substances used
could be greatly increased by substitute
ing fruit, potatoes, and other cereals.
which, if bought at the proper season.
and in quantity, would not increase the
cost
The quality of the food used. and
its prepare ton and variety, are better
than I frequently see on the tables Of
the working people with whom l come
in contact when hard times are not
complained of. A very common dinner
for the family Of Il labOrer consists
of boiled meat and potatoes, poor
bakers bread and molasses for the
children, and the kettle of beer for all.
Is 1t wonder that so many of them
are dyspeptic, sluggish and ill-tem-
pered? Granting that even my bill
OF fare was not what any of us would
live upon by choice, yet it was better
than what many families ordinarily
live upon, and is certainly capable OF
sustaining life during hard times and
little work. / believe that my own
work, both physical and mental, dur
ing this weeks experiment was harder
than that of lie average laborer; it GER
tainly had much more of Worry and
responsibility associated with it.
The poor of this grand country will
have to learn more about the food
value of the cereals and legumens
Oceans, peas, lentils, 81; more about
the proper preparation of food; anS
last, but not least, to be more prOyident
in times of prosperity, before they can
expect any great sympathy for their
distress. Considering the enormous
harvests of the last three years. the
extremely low price of almost every
food substance, except the hog, it does
seem as if the hunger cry in any quar-
ter of our population was not from
want of food, but from inprovidence.

The Peril of the Moment.

It is time the Government take
steps towards stopping the evil in
auences of trusts and other kim
dred organizations, that are the
parasites of American industries.
The farmers of this country have
suffered greatly through their evil
influences, and, as all industries
in the political economy of the
nation work sympathecally, the
losses incurred by anyone of them
must necessarily be felt by all. To
them can be traced the depression
which overshadows every branch
of industry in this country. The
future of this republic depends on
the remedy which the situation
suggests, and as the cause is more
than apparent, we must remove
that cause before we can obtain a
permanent cure of the many ills
that beset and threaten both our
national and commercial life. Con-
trolling all the markets of the
country, commodities are depreci-
sted when they are purchasers,
and raised when they become sell
lers.
The products of the country are
sold over the counters of specula-
ting future dealers months and
years before their actual produc-
ton, and the prices to be paid for
them regulated SO as to meet the
demands and convenience of fu-
ture-gamblers. Every Auctuation
of the markets has its origin at
their headquarters.
| On the agricultural interest OF
every country rests the foundation
of society and government, both
being healthy and strong in pro-
portion to the protention given
the tillers of the soil; for the real
wealth of any country is that re.
presented in agriculture. To trusts
future-gambling and monopolies
we owe the depreciation of values
which paralize all our industries
Instead of looking around to fine
the person who "threw that brink
last election, the press of the
country should devote its columns
to the eradication of all combina.
ton of capitalists which prey and
fatten upon the millions of produ-
GERS of the country. Though mil
hons of dollars may be spent by
them to reward corrupt legislator
and to pay lobbyists to stay th'
hand of the law that their nefari
Gus practices might continue K
thrive, the indirect by mighty pro
