St. Paul daily globe., 1895-12-15

The report OF the executive oliicels VI
the United Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners of America for three
months, ended Nov. l, shows that
twenty-siX new charters were issued
during that period, with net gain In
membership of 1,625. The organization
has been successful in the settlement
of a large number of difficulties, and
eight hours constitute a days work in
50 cities, while the nine-hour day has
been inaugurated in 421 cities. The or
ganization is reported in better condl-
ton than for two years past. The work
of organization has been largely car
ried on in the Southern states.

The enormous depreciation in price
of American products sent abroad
may be seen by comparing the re-
ceipts from any one staple article in
1894 and 1895. Take American cotton
for example; 1,125, 900 bales more were
exported during the five months end
ing Jan. 81, 1895, than during the cor
responding period of 1894, yet $5,22O,-
900 less was received for it. No won
der our agriculturists feel discourag-
3D. It may be argued that there was
an overproduction of cotton, but as
similar shrinkage in selling prices of
all agricultural products is noticeable,
it will hardly be contended that this
country raised a big surplus Of every
fibre and grain. Wheat has not been
lower for years, land in fact every nee
essary of life, unless controlled by a
trust, has reached bottom prices.
There seems to be any quantity of
food and manufacturing products in
the market, but the money to pur-
chase with is wanting.

THE SILVER MOVEMENT.

The attempt of certain protested
friends of silver in the federal senate
to secure the passage of bill for the
unlimited purchase of silver bullion
for coinage is very unwise and un-
necessary act. If the men who are
responsible for the senate's action
were but shrewd enough to see the
realities of the present situation they
would perceive that just now especial
ly it is the part of the friends of silver
to keep the United States from any
step toward assuming alone and un-
aided the silver burden Of the world.
What relief will come, must surely
come through international action and
agreement.
At present, abroad, there is dis
tinct movement towards some such
agreement. The length and scope of
the movement may prove to be small,
but that remains to be seen. At all
events if the United States should
adopt free coinage act Or similar
measure with regard to silver, the
effect would be to bring to a sudden
halt the bimetallic movement in Eu-
rope.
The Importance of such considera
ton may be seen by glance at the
recent bimetalist demonstrations in
Europe.
The silver debate in the German
Reichstag was one occurrence of real
significance. Count Mirbach, the ag
rarian leader, is warm advocate of
bimetallism, and his plea for silver
had a strong effect upon the Reichs-
tag. He quoted long array of Stats
tics to support the arguments which
he submitted, and his oratory moved
the national legislature again and
again to the warmest enthusiasm.
The significance of this demonstration
may be inferred from the fact that

In every home in our broad land,
with possibly few exceptions, are
treasured means for this delightful

moments. Each year broadening in
it's method of individual culture, con-

But their is no literature for the

the man who inherits and the man
who earns, of the millionaire in his

It comes as regularly as the glow of

GOOD POINTS OF 4 HORSE.


Henry Childs Merwin has a paper
in the March Century on ssThe Horse
Market,' from which the following is
extracted:
And this brings US to consider what
are the marks Of good, serviceable
horse, such as most people want to
buy. The chief points are the eye and
head; for, whether on the score of
safety or of ownership, the essential
thing is to have horse that is intel
ligent and gentle, or one that is intel
ligent and vicious, rather than stupid,
for stupid horses are the most dan
gerous of all. Every horse shows his
character IN his head, and chiefly in
the eye, just as certainly as a man
shows his character in his face;
although, as in the face of men, it is
not always easy to read what is writ
TENN the equine features. But as to
horses of positive character, positive
ly good or positively bad, there need
be no mistake. I once bought a mare
of dealer, for wOman's use, without
even taking her out of the stable. She
seemed to be sound, usually gentle
and safe, and SO she proved to be. On
the other hand, out of 6 or horses
shown to me at a sale stable, on anoth-
er occasion, [ rejected one-the best
in the lot observation-disclosures his eye,
though not absolutely bad, was such
as to arouse suspicion; and the owner
afterward admitted to me that the
animal was different from the rest in
being little 'smean.'
I mention these instances to show
that any person of average intelli-
gence can learn, by taking pains, to
read the equine character. Horse
dealers and trainers seldom make a
study Of this matter, because they do
not care about it. What you should
look for is a large, clear, luminous eye;
what you should distrust is a small |
eye, protruding eye, a sunken eye,
an eye that shows the white, glancing
backward, which indicates bad tenn
per; and above all, CLASSY, tremu-
lous eye, which indicates stupidity.
1t is hard to describe, but easily recog
nized. There should be considera- !
BILE space between the eyes. The ears
and the carriage of them are hardly |
less significant. Well-cut ears that |
move continually with a general tend
ency to be pricked forward indicate
a good and lively disposition. Large |
ears, if we'll shaped, are better than
very small or "mouse" ears. Lop !
ears, coarse ears, ears planted either
very far apart or very close together,
are to be viewed with great distrust. !
Next in Importance to the head come
the feet. They should be of medium
size, neither steep like mules, not |
fiat, but sloping at medium angle
is, SO formed when you pick them up
they will hold water.
AS to the other points Of horse, |
shall not attempt to go into details,
because fear that they would con-
vey information only to those who
do not need it. But this may be said
generally by way of advice: Avoid
long backed or thin WASTED, still more
a long legged, horse. Look for a COM
pact, rather low standing beast, with !
a good head, good eyes, and we'll
shaped ears, and you cannot go far

An old farmer, in letter to the

thus sums up the causes of hard times
in this country:
eve let our timber rot and buy our
pillow stocks, single trees, axe handles,
hoe handles and fencing.
owe throw away our ashes and buy
soap and axle grease.
eve give our beef hides away and
buy hame strings and shoe strings.
eve let our manure go to waste and
buy guano.
eve buy garden seeds in the spring
and cabbage in the winter.
eve let the wax on our pine and
gum trees go to waste and buy chew
ing gum for our children.
eve build school houses and hire
teachers and send our children to be
educated
1--WE land scent fish with a 81
fishing rod.
eve send a 12-cent boy out with a
$50 gun and a "a dog to kill birds.
eve raise dogs and buy wool.
"And about the only thing in this
country that there is an over produc
ton of is politics and dog tics.'

Of Wonderful Value, and Free.

Tired bodies, pale and sunken cheeks, bag
gard eyes, sleepless nights and weak nerves,
are running our lives and killing our people.
No wonder these poor sufferers bless DR..
Greene for his great offer. He is the most
successful specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases, and the discoverer of that
wonderful medicine, DIR. Greenes Nervura
blood and nerve remedy. He has established
a system of letter correspondence at his office
"a Temple Place, Boston, Mass, by which all
can write him about their complaints, and by
mentioning the symptoms they suffer from
and telling him how they feel, they will re-
ceive an answer from him, free of charge,
giving complete description of their case
and telling just what ails them. He gives
most careful attention to every letter, tells
lust what to do to be cured perfectly and per-
manently, and makes all understand exactly
what their complaint is. And all this costs
nothing. No journey to the city, no doctors
fee the best medical advice and consultation
in the world, and nothing to pay. The Doctor
makes speciality of treating patients
through letter correspondence, and 1t is sue
cessful. Write him at once, reader, and
you will almost certainly be made strong and
well.

 About 12O,OOO of the European brown i trout have been introduced in Connecticut streams. They are reported to be doing | very we'll. This fish Is peculiarly ad- apted to our streams from the fact that
 it's growth is more rapid. and that it | will live and thrive in streams which have been abandoned by the common

 trout. and its growth Is almost twice as | rapid. In a year or two more some fine results are expected.
