The country has great crop Of corn and OATS,

cotton than the world will consume. and YET
farmers are not buying freely. Prices OF

on which they have expended labor and money
There Is talk Of great boom In gold mining,

British experience in Kaffirs. Until wages or
labor are more nearly what they were in 1872 1t
IS sheer f0olishncss TO expect as large consump-

season. and all business calculations based on
rho notion that unlimited urosperity can arrive
with reduced wages are vlsibly coming 10
naught. This is not the land for cheap labor
The votes of labor are not cast for cheap labor,
excepting in freaks of folly ike that OF 1S92
In broad sense, the people want return to the
prosperity enjoyed three years ago, and know
that they are far from II as yet.

now BUSINESS STANDS.

Where are wc industrially. and in business
matters? All the political disputants will have
tbelr say about II. Men like Senator Stewart
will tell us that the country is still in the shadow
Of death because silver coinage has not been
made free Men like some Democrats Will tell
us that the tariff which they denounced as nfa-
nous has brought greater prosperity than the
world ever saw. What Is the fact!
Since ii was known that Democrats had
stopped making laws. in March last. and would
not make any more for two years at least. busI-
ness has MATERIAL, improved. Payments through
nrinclpal clearing houses in April averaged
s153 900 600 daily. and in September $159,oOO,-
GOO daily. and will average about SlSOWO,O00
daily In October. being only 80 per cent smaller
than I'm 1882. This does not mean that new busl-
ness is In volume as large rs Ii was three years
ago. for that Is far from the truth. But pay
ments mnde on business done some months
ago are nearly as large. and In some depart
mens the volume Of business now Is even great
er than II was In 1892 This j. highly encour-
aging in spite of the fact that the advance III
wages. about which there was so much fraud In
Free-Tradc journals substantially ceased two
months ago. and To this day has not covered Il
tenth of the manufacturing force, nor has II
averaged for those more than half the previous
decline L, Is also true that the volume Of pay
ments this month has been greatly Inflated by
unparalleled dealings in cotton at Si' per Dale
against $40 year ago
Manufacturing establishments are nearly all
employed on orders taken some months ago,

Cannibalism In China is more mode OF reprisal
and retaliation than detetc practice and only
a few Instances have been recorded It's recent oc-
currence in the province of Canton the result OF
a feud and conflict between two villages is hor
rbe enough. indeed, but 1t was rite OF vengeance
instead OF an impulse OF canal appetite. Not
withstanding the formal moralities OF the Con-
fucian and Mencan and Buddhistic laws there is
on unlimited amount of savagery latent in the
social constitution there ready to break out at
any time its manifestations exhibiting a degree
of cruelty and ferocty not surpassed by the old
exploits Of the North American Indian or the
anthropophasi Of New-Guinea. Separately and
collectively they have the aspect OF a mild and
placable people, timorous and meek guinea
pigs. and the spectacle OF one Chinaman eating
another. apart from its revolving aspect seems
absurd In Formosa on the other hand. where Of
late prisoners slain in war have furnished BAN
auets for the belle aguered native. the practice Is
Of old date and is strictly OF festive and utilita
rian character. Except in times Of tribal strife
and Collision they do not eat each other. but the
crews of ships cast ashore their Isle have been
sacrificed and consumed from the earliest times
custom still prevailing among them. and not con
sidered contrary 10 public or private policy
Among the swarming population OF the Congo
basin according to the testimony or Captain
Iinde, who las just read paper on the subject
before the British Association. the practice is
general, and there are regular markets for the
fale of human victims to be slain and eaten as
there are for sheep and cattle in other countries
The truth Is that more cannbalism exists In
the world than is eeuArally surmised with q o.

This is the last day for registration in New
York and Brooklyn. A large number of citizens
who can have no excuse for refusing to vote
have not yet registered their names. If they do
not do so, their votes cannot be cast, although
they may be greatly needed to insure the tri-
umph Of the cause OF good government In these
cities The issue in both cities is the same, and
every patriotic and intelligent man should by
all means vote against the rings and gangs. 10
vote, however. one must register. If this duty
Is not attended to to-day, 1t cannot be done al
all. The hours for registration in New-fork are
from a. m. to 8 p. M; in Brooklyn from 10 ~
n. m. and from to 10 p. m. The Tribune prints
again today for the benefit Of those who nave
not already informed themselves, the complete
list of the polling places in this city and the
boundaries Of each election district. Every un-
registered citizen should make the duty OF regis
tration paramount to-day. 1t is the last chance
Register to-day without fail!

One Of the reasons which took ex-senator
Miller and Lieutenant-GOvernor Saxton 10
watertown TO address Republican meeting
last night was that they might urge on the
voters of jefferson County and its neighbor'
Lewis. the importance Of reelecting Senator
Mullin. Mr. Mullin has fine record TO ms
credit at Albany. and has done especially good
work as chairman Of the Finance Committee.
There ought to be no question about sending
him back for another term. The Democrats
however. think they have chance OF carrying
the district and are working han.. Hence the
necessity for Republicans TO shake on their
apathy and make sure that this district Is Kept
where II belongs, in the Republican column.
