Valdemar Paulovitch, young Russian who recently passed through Buffalo on his way to visit friends in Cincinnati, told reporter of Gustav Jovanovitch. the Russian who owns more dogs than any other man in the world. He is the cattle king of the Russian steppes. He owns over 100000 sheep and that is why he has so many dogs. They are all of the shepherd breed and number above S500o. Jovanovitch's sheep and dogs have descended to him from his forefa- thers, and, needless to say, he is im- mensely rich. The dogs are all intelligent creatures, though of 100 breeds and all perform their offices faithfully.

New Orleans Is now on a better basis as far as grain rates are concerned than the Eastern ports. and it is getting large quantities of corn from Illinois which have always hitherto gone to New York or Baltimore.

RETIRING GREENBAcKs.

New York Tribune.
Certain Democratic friends, who are
exceedingly anxious to have their chest
nuts pulled out of the fire by Repub-
lean fingers, are now urging that 1t is
the solemn duty Of the coming Repub-
lican congress to retire the greenbacks
IN part, or provide means by which the
secretary of the treasury can practically
nuke them scarce. Ii is vel TO remem-
Der at the outset that al monetary
legislation by the next congress will de-
pend largely upon the disposition of a
few Populists or silver men, who hold
the balance Of power In the senate. ANY
measure which they unitedly oppose is
very Likely to be beaten, and for the
Interesting though not creiltable roa-
son that the Democrats will probably
votel unitedy against any sensible legis-
'ation, primarily because they want to
court favor vita Popullst voters and
more money luu1tics, and partly be-
cause they are just patriotic enough to
desire the defeat OF any measure
favored by Republicans. Unless past ex-
perience goes for nothing the Democratic
minority In the senate VIII be found

HOMIE MARKEr NONSENSE.


Under this caption an Eastern free
trade journal says
srhe tariff reformers look facts In
the face They recognizes the fact that
the prices of many of the farmers pro-
ducts are made 'abroad because the sur.
plus must be sold In tho open markets
OF the world, They, therefore, insist
that mo Is not In position to pay tribute
to the manufacturers, whose profits far
exceed his own. They have heard from
protectionists Il great deal about the
sufficiency Cf the homo market, but the
facts show that II Is a myth"
II Is true that the prices of many OF
the farmers products are made abroad,
There are two ways OF treating the fact,
One Is to so build up the home market
that farmers products will not need to
80 abroad. the other to seek relief In
extending the foreign markets, The
former Is the way marked out by a, pro-
tective tarff system. the latter the way
OF free trade, BY placing duties on the
products OF foreign factories so large
a proportion of our people may be en-
gagged In manufacturing that the former
will nnd his market at home, The price
OF farmers products will not then be
fixed abroad. In case the home price
rises above the foreign price, the method
OF protection that has been given the
manufacturer viii be extended TO tho
farmer. Both will be relieved from
competition with the cheaper labor and
cheaper lands Of other countries. The
free trader contends that foreign trade
should be unrestricted only by natural
laws. He makes concession when he
admits that duties may be levied 10 pro-
vide revenue for the national government.
But he insists that duties shall be placed
on such articles as we necessarily import
as well as on articies that we can pro-
duce at home.
The actui question between free trad
ers and proteetlonsts is II the produe-
ton OF raw material or the converting
Of raw material Is the more profitable

prospect that within ten years the United

Republican policy. The national banking
system has given to the country paper
circulation absolutely safe and OF uni
form value in every state, and 1t is one
of the greatest blessings which the coun-
try owes to Republican wisdom that II

get back to that odlous system the Demo-
cratic party has made as great blunder
as II 1T should strive to revive human
slavery. But the notion that legal ten
ders should be retired or contracted is
at bottom nothing but a step toward
the wildcat state bank scheme, and II

Pleasures rather than drift into them for

Most young men do not see much to
gain by saving few dollars each month,
and they fall into the habit Of letting 1t
all so. A small partial payment invested
in real estate with the natural additions
he would make, having once become in
terested, will amount to Il very snug lit
tie sum by the time he is 10. At that age
a man usually determines whether his
life Is a business success or failure.

ticularly in real estate Anxiety to make
fortune quickly instead of attaining a

mutation would have been both success

No one can afford to starve the mind
and heart to feed the pocket. Every
life needs laughter as much as the
rose needs the sun, and every life needs
some responsibility, some restriction.

nothing merely drifts. Good luck may
drift him Into harbor, but the chances
