will require a little more attention.
The poultry-house should be made
warm, with plenty of light, and should
be as convenient as possible.
A cheap and convenient poultry
house that can be built by any farmer
is illustrated in the figures 1 and 2.
The building is 10x24, and should stand
facing the south. The sides and ends
a be made of rough boards, and the
cracks battened with lath or strips in
side and out. or matched boards can be
used and lined inside with building
paper. 1t can be made any height de-
sired, and the roof can be made of
shingles or matched and grooved boards
well painted.
Fig. 2 gives an end view of the inside.
A partition should extend the full
length, four feet from north side.
This will make an entry (A) 6xe4 and a

two pens, 6x12, if desired. G is a NOV

Big Pacific Coast Advantage.

Here IL something from the Tacoma
News that is certainly encouraging for
the farming interests OF the Pacific Coast !:
A good mauy public writer's are calling
attention TO the condition of the Ameri-
can farmer, who has long held place
superior to that occupied by his class in
any other country OF the globe; but
whom. it is nov claimed. is gradually
passing away, as representative.
The American farmer stands distin-
guished as one who owns the coil he tills,
and consequently able to maintain an in
dependence and style Of living far above
that possi bic to the European yeoman-
ry. He is, however, beginning to yield
to the forces brought 10 bear upon him,
the creation Of the landlord and classes
having made considerable progress
The diminution of the owning farmer
class, and the increase OF tenant farmers
| cannot De vie wed with complaceney.
The average tenant farmer has no future
except one OF increasing rent charges.
and the sharper the competition for
chances to earn living the greater will
be the rents exacted. This will produce
an agricultural population made up Of
hired laborers. poor and illiterate. 1t
has already manifested it's injurious
effect upon the schools and roads OF the
Middle States.
A few figures from the last census. in
this connection, are extremely interest
ing to the Pacific slope.
In six New England States the num-
| ber OF owning farmers diminished "a, III
and tenant farmers increased 7,246. In
tie four Middle States owners decreased
AZ, ,30i and tenants increased 24,075; in
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois the number
Of owning farmers decreased 81 .259, while
the tenant farmers increased 4S,S64. A
like proportional cnsnge occurred in the
Southern and old Western States.
For the Pacific States the figures are I:
Increase in number OF owning farmers,
60,5l2; increase in number of tenant
farmers, 2O,350.
The character OF the agricultural ele-
ment, is therefore vastly superior here
than elsewhere.
The man who owns the land he tills.
has an abiding interest therein, which
manifests itself in all those qualities
making the good citizen, and which are
logically inhibited in the person of one
whose sole interest is to locate wherever
lie can with the least labor keep body
and soul together. The one is neigh
Dor to be depended upon in all matters
OF patriotism; the other too often fails.

A Democratic Measure.

The st. Louis Republic in answer 10 a
question by correspondent says: The
tariff on sugar is mainly revenue tax,
and yet it was repealed by the McKin
ley act, thus cutting of some $40, 900 =
0O0 or $50 coo 900 yearly Of income from
the Treasury, in order to harden the pro-
tective tariff taxes, whose purpose is to
take money out of the pockets of the
people without putting it into the Treas
ury. To make ID to the sugar planters
OF this country ior the loss of incidental
protection, this same Mckinley act gave
the planters bounty OF 2 cents pound
on all the raw sugar they made. This
drew about $l2, ,0O0, ,0O0 year out of the
Treasury, in addition to the money al
ready lost BY the repeal OF the import
tax on sugar. The new tariff act, COM
monty called the Wilson act, repealed
the sugar bounty and put back reye-
nue. tax on imported sugar, thus helping
the Treasury a-coming and a-going
Some of the planters claim that they
ought to haYe the bounty for this year,
as the new tariff law was not passed un.
til late in the planting season, but the
law does not warrant payment of the
bounty on the crop of 1894.

The Pacific Railroads.

No subject before the American people
to-day is of more interest than that OF
the Pacific railroads, recently up before
Congress in the Reilly funding bill,
fortunately defeated. The Jacksonville,
Florida, Times gives the case in plain
way:
The history OF the legislation touching
these railroads is disgraceful TO the con-
gressmen Who were concerned in it. and
who favored e.. The government made
a clear present to the companies that
were to construct these roads OF i2,so
&C. .es OF land for every mile constructed.
Let Us suppose that when the roads were
constructed ahese lands were worth on
ly dollar and quarter per acre; then
the government made clear gift OF
SIT 900 per mile TO the roads.
In addition to this the government
guaranteed per cent gold bonds to the
extent OF $4,000 per mile for that part
of the road between the Missouri river
aud the base OF the Rocky Mountains !;
SS2, 600 per mile from the Rockies to the
Sierra Nevada mountains, and SIC, 600
per mile for that part of the road west
of the Sierra Nevadas. Thus in direct
contributions and in endorsement OF
bonds the government had contributed
from SsS, 600 to $4,000 per mile to the
construction of the road.
A commission that was appointed to
investigate the matter found that these
roads had cos, in cash S35. 600 per mile.
Thus there wac not q dollar in them
that the government had not contribut-
ed. Their officers, however, had gone
into the business with 8 determination
to plunder, and represented that Ihey
were not able 10 complete the road with
the land appropriation and the bonds
endorsed, and asked permission to issue
bonds Of equal amount to that which the
government had authorized for theil
completion. This vas granted by a cor
rupt congress, and further issue o
bonds ranging from $1,000 to s4s, 90
per mile Was authorized. snd Was giyeI
priority over the government bonds
which had before constituted q frs
mortgage on the road.
Many of the officers OF these roads be
came millionaires through methods near
ly as dishonorable as bank burglary. The.
saddled on the roads debts Amounting 4
. three times their honest cost OF con
strnction, while a complainant cougres
made the government foot the biils.

The American silver dollar contains 3
trifle less silver than the Mexican dol
lar, but it is at premium OF about two
for one over the Mexican coin, even in
Mexico. That is to say, that il you go
into shop in a Mexican town, buy a
Mexican dollars worth of something and
hand the salesman an American dollar,
ne will give You back Mexican dollar
in change. This is because the Ameri-
can silver dollar under present condl-
tions is not genuine money. At the
present price Of silver bullion the silver
in our dollar is worth only about 50 cents,
and it is kept up to parity with gold
only by the Treasury manipulation and
by the laws making it q legal tender for
all dues, public and private. AS our
coinage laws stand, We have no such
thing as bimetaIlism and the silver dol
lar IL practically an obligation of the
Government redeemable in gold. In
Mexico silver is the standard money ,and
it passes in the markets OF the world al
its bullion value, just as our gold money
does.-St. Louis Republic.
