Increased Railroad Rates.

Some years ago a railroad man of
the cas- when asked what was the
basis upon which he fixed the rates
upon his line answered that railroads
charged what the traffic would bear.
Considerable public Indignation, and
1Jterance and ever since railroad men
lave been busy denying that such is
the real foundation of their charges.
Still this official was undoubtedly cor
rect and honest in his statement, and
subsequent history has gone to con-
firm him. This is receiving ample
calculation at the present time. The
abundant haryests have given an i'm
mense increase OF business TO the
roads. In any other line of business
an increase of sales means smaller
profits on each article sold, the mer-
chant expecting to make larger profits
In the aggregate by the general in
crease in his business. This ought to
be true as TO railroads, but on the COL
trary they take advantage of the ne
cessities OF their customers and adj
vance the rates at a time when we
might expect reduction, and at time
too when the low price Of farm pro-
ducts leaves the husbandman small
return for his years work. They sell
more transportation than ever before
and at an increased price. The rates
TO the east on grain is much higher
than il was year ago when crops
were poor and the traffic light. The
metropolitan press sees in the in
crease OF rates the evidences OF re-
newed prosperity, but seems 10 en-
tirely overlook the fact that this is
prosperity TO the railroad iuteres1 5
only, and at the expense OF the sgrl-
cultural sections OF the countT. The
farmer can not be interviewed DAILY
To place his views before the public
and thus turn sentiment his way.
The successful railroad manager APP
preciates the power of being able TO
place his views before the public and
influence, - he can, by frequent re-
iteration public opinion in his direc-
ton. and that he is not 10th TO go
before the country" the daily press
| bears abundant witness.

Stevens Point Journal, Rep: Some of
our contemporaries are assuming that
all of the dissatisfaction with Gov.
Upham' S administration comes from
those who have been disappointed in
receiving Experimentation
they call them. AS believer in the
Republican party, and one who would
like TO see it triumphant in every
state i'm the union at the next cleo
ton, we wish the assumption were
true, that the only dissatisfaction in
this state was To be found among
those who wanted an Office and did
not get it. If that was so, there
would be no cause for apprehension sc
far as Wisconsin is concerned at the
next election. Unfortunately, how
ever, it is not true, and no one knows
it better than those who are trying to
raise a dust by crying 'sOre-head."

and see Cleveland recommend a tariff
on wool to replenish the shrinking re-
ceipts. The total interest bearing
debt is $7I7 800, $50. For the year end
ing June 30, 1893, there was a surplus
revenue of S2.34l ,67i: For the year
ending June 30, 1894, being the first
year of Cleveland administration,
there was deficit of 500, SOB, 26O, and
for the year ending June 80, 1895,
there was deficit of $40, S05,223. For
the three months ending September
30 last the deficit amounts to S9,ssl,

under the Wilson Reform Tariff Law
is running i'm debt at about the rate

DUTY OF HAPPINESS.
Before being too ready to say 1T is
absurd TO think that one can be happy
by rule let us remember that happi
ness and jOllity are two words having
vastly different meanings. One
comes from within, the other from
without; one is lasting, the other
mOmentary: one is a deep flowing
river Of life. the other a brook dane
ing in the early spring, but drying up
with the hot suns of summer.
Happiness is a result that comes
from obeying the rules God has given
Us.

The primary instincts of man made
him nomadic creature, travelling,
like other animals, in search Of food
When he learned to till the ground,
and build house, he became more
permanent in his habits, but he still
had a disposition to wander, now,
however. to see what lay beyond his
immediate neighbOrhoOd. After
many weary marches on foot, IL dawn
ed on him that to float on a river OF
the sea, was much easier mode OF
locomotion. The next step was TO
make an artificial waterway, and as
far back as the time of Rameses IL,
one of the Pharaohs, canal from the
Nile to the Red Sea was begun, to be
completed under the Ptolemies. The
Emperor Trojan re-opened the
canal, which had become blocked up,
and on the MOnammedan conquest OF
Egypt, another re-opening took place,
which kept it in use for hundred
wears 1t then fell again into disuse.
a nd it was not until April, 1859, under
Tire auspices of Said Pasha and Ferdi-
ola nd DE LeSscpS, that another at
teL1pt was made. The work began at
Port Said on the Mediterranean, and
in Novem Der. 1869, the canal was com
pleted to Suez. on the Red Sea. 1t is
100 miles long, 300 feet wide at the
top. ~ feet wide at the bottom, and
20 feet deep, costing about 800, 100000
A popularity that makes it unique
among canals is that it has no locks
the levels of the Mediterranean and
Red Sea being about tire same. In
1876 the English government bought
a controlling interest Q76,602 shares,
in the canal for $4,000, 900. The sub
ject of waterways between the great
lakes of our country and the Atlantic
has received strong agitation lately
but for the greater part of the UniteC
States the carrying must continue Il
be done by the great railroads, SUCH al

The Pierce County Fair.

The Annual Fair Of this county was
held last week Wednesday. Thursday
and Friday. The management made
strenuous endeavors TO give novel
attractions each day and their labors
were crowned with success. The gate
receipts show the largest attendance
ever had and the weather being propi
tious each day the large crowd fully
enjoyed the occasion.
Never had Pierce county presented
so large an exhibit of excellent farm
products as at this time, and what
! was best of all the exhibits showed
that the farmers are fast learning the
advantages of mixed farming and
that they have paid far less attention
of late to grain raising and more to
other crops.
The potato exhibit was simply Won
derful. All of course were large, but
not only this, they seemed to possess
the finest possible qualities for table
use barring the size which was rather
too excessive, perhaps.
Corn was on exhibition rivaling the
far famed products Of Illinois.
The oldfashioned heavy pumpkins
weighing nearly pounds were there
reminding us of the times of the
virgin soil when such products were
presented at the fairs.
Cabbages that would easily fill a
half bushel hard, solid and well filled
showed that this county can almost if
not quite rival even Holland in this
line.
The fruit exhibit was also revela-
tion to many of the resources OF this
county.
The Domestic department was not
as full as it should have been but the
ladies' department of fancy work
showed many fine specimens of handi-
craft.
In the Art department the skill of
native artists was well displayed prov
ing that there is much native talent
in our county.
Mr.. Bowers made fine exhibit of
stoves and hardware and other arti-
cles in his line.
One Of the best and most important
exhibits was that of the work of pu-
pills in the common schools. Quite
a large space was devoted TO this ex-
hibit, and although in the gallery of
the Floral Hall il was visited by very
many people who greatly enjoyed the
display of skill and training on the
part of the young folks. Mr.. Shaw
who had charge of the exhibit is TO be
congratulated upon the good showing
made, and it is to be hoped that suffi-
cient interest will be awakened in this
department TO induce every school in
the county to do something in this
department. We regret that River
Falls was not represented there as 1T
should have been and hope it will be
another year.
The contest by the pupils of the
schools in defamation drew large
audience who gave close attention TO
the speaking notwithstanding high
wind which prevented many hear
ing it. To make these contests
complete success some 'cover should
be provided to at least shut off the con-
fusion necessarily arising from the va
rious attractions on the fair grounds.
Quite number of the citizens of
River Falls were present at the Fair
and we think that had there been ar
rangements for return train after
the close of the fair in the evening
more would have gone out. We I'M
derstand that the management of the
Fair tried to get such a train but
could not.
