REPORTS submitted at the recent
International Cooperative Congress
held in London show that the CO.
operative stores in England now
number 1914, with a membership
of l ,343,5 share and loan cap
ital of over $9O,OOO,OO0 and an in
vested capital of nearly 100000
600. Their sales in 1894 amounted
to 260,000,000, from which profit
of ten per cent. was realized. Other
countries also reported satisfactory
results. Cooperative production has
not Jared as well. England has
120 societies organized for such
production, with a capitalof $9,000,-
600. The profits for 1894 were
$4,000. In other countries CO.
operative production is advancing
even more slowly. Delegates
from Belgium claimed that the
project had failed in their
country owing to the fact that
"the workingmen were wanting in
the necessary recognition of the
difference of capacity, which made
it necessary that the manager OF a
cooperative institution should ex-
ercise adequate authority" This
same trouble has been met with in
other countries and is particularly
noticeable in countries where the
laborers are from the ignorant
classes. Cooperative societies have
been established however in Rus
STA, Austria, Roumania, Servia,
Denmark, the Netherlands and
as well as England,
Germany and France, and the
working of educating the masses is
going on surely if slowly.

NOTWITHSTANDING conflicting re-
ports, evidences of the probable
success of the Cuban patriots are
unmistakable. 1t is but another
proof of the fact that millions of
dollars spent in munitions OF war
and fitting out of military forces
cannot keep monarchical despotism
intact, when the people have be-
come aroused to action by con-
tinued misrule.

To those who are curious to
know of the merits and origin
of the Aermotor and how in
the fourth year of its existance
it came to turn out many times
as many wind mills as all
others combined, the following
facts will be of interest. They
commenced in a field in which
there had been no improve
ment for IS years, and in which
there seemed no talent or am
bition and none has since been
shown except in the feeble
imitation of their invention.
Before commencing the manu-
facture, exhaustive scientific
Investigations and experiments
were made by skilled
mechanical engineer, in which
over $500 dynamometric tests
were made on 81 different
forms of wheels, propelled by
artificial and therefore uniform
wind, which settled definitely
many questions relating to the
proper speed of the wheel, the
best form. angle, curvature
and amount of sail surface, the
resistance of air to the rotation,
Instructions before the wheel,
as in the vaneless mill; and
many other more abstruse,
though not less important
questions They insert in the
casting gun metal box which
is in itself the best bearing
known. This bearing is made
with large upright tube
which is filled with machinists'
waste saturated with oil. This
arrangement makes the best
and most lasting method of
bling. 1t is the one universally
adopted by railroads and in
:runions for cable roads and
constant and
severe usage make frequent
bling necessary. Graphite
bearings have long been
but in none of these
places are they used, although
abroad men would not hesi-
ate to incur almost any ex-
oense to avoid the constant
attention which frequent oiling
ind hot boxes require. The
graphite bearing in connection
With wind mills has only been
brought out to obviate the nec-
:ssity of using the fitting
over. If you want a strong

UNREMUNERATIvE WORK.

Theodore Roosevelt, who occu.
pies a prominent place in Amer.
lean politics, advises men with in.
dependent means to enter public
life. He breaches the doctrine OF
"Unremunerative Work" On the
same lines of thought the Outlook
recently asked, "Why do we not
have more national men ?"
Men of education, of refinement,
of wealth reply political life is
a dirty business. No man is safe
from SANDER, libel and false accu-
,sation and virulent abuse. In DO
litics men become violent in their
feelings and opinions, and are not
candid or fair" 1t is said that
the press is much to blame for this
condition of things. Behind the
press are the readers who do not
like ''tame" talk or cool opinions.
They are like the savages who
delight to see their enemies
roasted" The "give-him-fts"
style of editorial is demanded
by the average reader, so that
even the papers that try to be
fair are constantly falling into
the invective style. Men who are
on the best of terms socially, and
in business, will delight, if they
belong to separate political parties,
to see each other bombarded with
accusations of political dishonesty.
So long as this condition of
things exist. few men of ability
who are able to command their
own time, will seek the "unre-
work" spoken of by
NJ. Roosevelt. 1t has come to pass
that scores of able men positively
refuse to take office in the United
States for these reasons, and, as
rule, the nominations for office go
to an inferior class. Anyone per-
acquainted with the House
If Representatives in Washington
Knows it. At the same time, many
lble men do take Office because
hey have the temperaments for
political life, and are thick-skinned
when abuse strikes them. The
summing up, by
Noah Brooks, of the politi-
al situation in America, after
he revolution, may be read with
reat profit by our own people, who
ave been in the midst of political
hanges: "Before the second cleo
ion of Washington came on, party

TaYIVG SOMEBODY ELSE.

The people Of Baton Rouge are not happy
They have succeeded in escaping their 1alr
share Of taxation for the support OF the Federal
Government through the instrumentality or an
income tax framed TO bleed the Industries or
the Northern States and make them the pl'll-
cipal sufferers from the extravaganza ana IN

United States, 10 be met by levics upon their
more enterprising fellow-citZens Of New-lOrk,
Boston and Chicago. so nothing remains for
them but 10 arrange some scheme of escape
among themselves.
Accordingly the taxpayers in the parish in
which the State capital of Louisiana is situated
held a meeting on Tuesday, at which resolutions
were az Il advocating the suspension of all
tax collections until times improved. 1t was
declared that the shrinkage Of values made IT
impossible TO pay taxes The State should sus-
pend collections, reduce salaries, use its credit

its support TIL meeting, 1t IS reported, was
large ard enthusiastic, and is likely to lead 10
a Widespread campaign III ldNoT oI inc SuNpcL-

II is safe TO say that in almost any section Of
the country party committed 10 the abolition
az taxes or their assessment on somebody else
would receive instant and enthusiastic support.
Prccedents are in favor of that belief. Some
thing over two years ago appeals were made 10

To the manufacturer whisperings of low wages

the sailor, an immense tonnage of goods for the
same reason; 10 everybody, the vision OF re-
arranging the laws so that somebody else would
carry n larger part of the common burden and

which no amount of logic and no argument from
past faithful services awaited. Careful thinkers

for nothing could succeed and that the ATTEMPT

that fts the case. is that the yield OF 1874 was
nuch greater than the department mas esti-
mated and that the stock in farmers hands is
much greater Three causes have co-operateu
to make the stock retained in farmers hands
relatively larger this year than in almost ANY

storms in February, by which not only country
roads hut most OF the Western railroads were
noorv or quite blockaded for half the month.
This would naturally cut off part Of the West

1000 600 bushels less than in the previous

able weight in comparison with 1t. The eSti-
mate Of 1.-THE Orange Judd Farmer" namely,
134 600 bushels. and Of The Prairie Farm
or" namely. 165OOOO0O bushels, may be er-
roncous. but are at least far more reasonable
in the light of known conditions than the guess
Of the department.
The probability Is that the crop Of 1891 was
about 52000O,000 bushels. and the wheat in
farmers hands and visible supply a year ago
about 2JO0O0,0O0, making Il total supply or
70 600 900 bushels, aud not more than 39,OOO,-
600 bushels has been used for feeding IN excess
of the usual quantity This extra consumption
with ordinary consumption for food and seed
and the known exports, would make distribu-
ton OF 90 100000 bushels, leaving March
about 2l3OOOO00 bushels on hand, Of which
IS 1861 900 were in visible supply so that at
least 1874 900 bushels should be in farmers
hands. When the country has consumed 49,
100000 bushels in four months March.Iune in

els, as It did last year, it will be demonstrated
whether these estimates or those of the depart
mcnt are the more nearly correct.

supply made 1S9,5G0,O00 bushels, and its
latest report OF the yield in 1894 IS 100000 900
bushels, making supply Of Gi9, 800 600 bushels.
But consumption in twelve months for food and
seed has been 314 2iS 900 bushels at the official
ratio Of consumption with official returns Of
population. and the official statements Of ex-
ports for eleven months with current trade re-
ports for February are li3.j46,Si5 bushels for
twelve months while the department estimate
is that at least 81 100000 bushels of wheat have
